Chapter 1068: Chapter 423: Blood Ice and the Next Chamber
According to Chen Zheming, the Heart Core can control the terrain trend of the Floating Island, the direction of water flow around it, and its floating direction.
Liang Yuan still doesn’t know the specific principle behind it.
The urgent task is to find that Heart Core.
The place in front of him is probably the heart of the Floating Island Giant Corpse.
Liang Yuan looked around carefully, a strange expression appearing on his face.
"It seems like nobody has been here yet."
"It’s strange, how could Master of Fog City, Chang Yuntao, who has lived on this Floating Island for so long, not have found the heart?"
Immediately, he thought about his journey, how he had wandered aimlessly inside the Floating Island Giant Corpse.
If it weren’t for having a system to exchange a large amount of corrosive glue, he wouldn’t know when he could get out from the suspected stomach area.
And since it was so difficult for him, people like Chang Yuntao might really only have taken the route of flowing through the blood vessels.
This blood vessel route is accessible from all directions, and it’s full of veins, making it difficult to follow them to find the heart.
Since they couldn’t violently destroy the organ walls, they only had this foolish method, which was definitely slower than him.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan was delighted inside.
"It seems there’s a high chance the Heart Core is still here, I still have a chance to find it!"
Thinking about being able to control this Floating Island and having a moving base in the future made Liang Yuan thrilled.
Right away, he quickly began searching here.
"What would the Heart Core look like? Is it grown inside the atrium?"
After searching around, Liang Yuan frowned.
All he knew was the Heart Core was growing in the heart, but Chen Zheming had never seen it.
Even the information he had was passed down from the high-ranking members of the Earth Mother Sect, and its authenticity was unknown.
Liang Yuan looked at the huge heart chamber in front, surrounded by thick layers of ice and frost, slightly frowning: "Even if the Heart Core truly exists, it must be covered by these ice layers. I need to find a way to melt these ice layers to make searching easier."
Thinking so, Liang Yuan immediately activated his Superpower, a Fire Dragon surged from his hands, quickly starting to burn the ice.
As the ice burned, it began to liquefy and evaporate under high temperatures.
The evaporated steam rose, quickly condensing into new ice, making the top ice layers thicker.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan frowned deeply.
Despite the large space in the atrium, there was no airflow, so the steam couldn’t escape.
It was already extremely cold here, and the steam couldn’t escape, leading to new ice formation.
Consequently, Liang Yuan was destined to only excavate partial ice.
Regarding this, Liang Yuan withdrew his hands, the Fire Dragon dissipated.
"Better dig a big pit first, then contact the meat wall of the atrium after which corrode the meat wall, and let the melted ice flow out."
"At least this way, the coldness will have a place to escape."
Contemplating, Liang Yuan immediately began excavating the ice.
This time, he didn’t dig too wide, only a five to six meters circle, vertically digging downward.
After digging about ten meters deep, the ice was finally cleared away, revealing the scarlet surface of the atrium.
"Huh, it’s not meat, still ice!"
Liang Yuan was about to continue digging when he suddenly paused, noticing the red solid wasn’t a meat wall, it was still ice.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly had an epiphany.
"Could it be the residual blood in the atrium that didn’t dry up and got frozen?"
The more he thought, the more plausible it seemed.
The pile of red ice in front was likely frozen blood.
Frowning, he didn’t know how thick the blood ice was, and continued digging, unsure when he’d reach the end.
After digging two to three more meters, the blood ice glowed scarlet, pure like a red gemstone, emitting bursts of astonishing energy pressure!
Liang Yuan was shocked: "Even after being dead for so long, the remaining blood in the Floating Island Giant Corpse has such strong Spiritual Energy pressure!"
Unbelievable, just how terrifying was this Floating Island Giant Corpse when alive?
Suddenly Liang Yuan thought of something and abruptly paused.
"Wait a moment, the Floating Island Giant Corpse’s blood..."
"According to Xu Yuan, Genetic Species actually are refined from the essence blood of Genetic Species Level Mutant Beasts."
"And Initial Tier Genetic Species Mutant Beasts can only refine up to three Genetic Species."
"This is because the essence blood purity in Initial Tier Genetic Species Mutant Beasts is low, containing a vague Genetic Map, three is the limit."
"Conversely, if there’s an essence blood of a Mutant Beast with a high Genetic Map completeness, more Genetic Species could be refined from it?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan looked again at the huge blood ice layer in front, a glint of joy appearing!
"The Floating Island Giant Corpse is definitely a Mutant Beast with a highly complete Ice Attribute Genetic Map!"
"Its internal blood, can it be refined into high-purity Genetic Species?"
With this thought, Liang Yuan immediately realized that this blood ice layer seemingly obstructing the Heart Core excavation was actually a heap of Genetic Species!
At this moment, Liang Yuan was overjoyed, quickly collecting all these blood ice blocks.
"Wonder how much blood ice is beneath these ice blocks, if I collect them all, and find an appropriate refining method, I might obtain a large number of Genetic Species."
Liang Yuan was pleased inside, if he could master numerous Genetic Species, Yangshan’s partners would have breakthrough methods.
Then Yangshan’s strength would markedly increase, even without acquiring the Heart Core, there would be no worry about potential threats from the Three Great Sects.
Besides, finding the Heart Core requires clearing all this blood ice first.
Then, Liang Yuan started acting like an ice miner, crazily extracting blood ice.
Luckily, he had an inventory to store these blood ice, otherwise it would be challenging to transport them out.
Time slowly passed, nearly an hour or more, Liang Yuan had dug out a huge pit.
Half an hour ago, he had already reached the heart wall.
Liang Yuan immediately continued excavating blood ice along the heart walls.
While digging, Liang Yuan felt somewhat anxious.
Outside, the situation is unknown; the Earth Mother Sect and the Master of Fog City might have already engaged in battle.
The group I brought along, I wonder if they’re still in the City of Ice Mist.
He must quickly find the Heart Core and return to deal with these matters promptly.
Having entered here, he couldn’t just leave this Blood Ice untouched and walk away.
But there’s too much Blood Ice here, relying on him alone to dig, who knows how long it will take.
Liang Yuan’s thoughts raced, contemplating a solution.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted.
Liang Yuan, beneath the ice layer, was startled.
He quickly looked up, gazing at the ice cave overhead, his figure swiftly ascended.
The sound of the explosion came from the left side.
Liang Yuan immediately ran over, looking at a certain spot on the Ice Wall.
He saw the Ice Wall unmarred, but there were unmistakable signs of vibration.
Liang Yuan leaned his ear against the Ice Wall and began listening.
He vaguely heard sounds of intense battling inside the Ice Wall.
"Someone is next door!"
Liang Yuan was amazed, wondering why there was more space beside the heart? What organ is this?
No, the organs of the Floating Island Giant Corpse are enormous; any organ could match a huge space, and the flesh walls of these organs are tens or even hundreds of meters thick.
How could the commotion next door easily transmit over here?
Liang Yuan was puzzled, thinking for a moment, and suddenly realized something.
"No, are there multiple spaces within the heart?"
"I remember learning in biology that the human heart has left and right atria."
"Could the heart of the Floating Island Giant Corpse also be divided into left and right?"
The more Liang Yuan thought, the more plausible it seemed, and he promptly began digging the ice blocks on the wall.
The commotion next door is likely because the Earth Mother Sect found its way here and started fighting with the Master of Fog City’s people.
"I wonder if the Heart Core is on my side or next door."
Liang Yuan contemplated a moment; if they were fighting there, they must have found something important.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have escalated to a fight so quickly.
Thinking this, Liang Yuan promptly began excavating the ice blocks on the wall.
Before long, he had already dug a hole and continued digging inward, soon excavating a seven or eight-meter thick ice cave, finally reaching the heart’s flesh wall inside the ice layer.
Liang Yuan immediately activated the Superpower within his body, making black runes flash on his hands, secreting a large amount of black corrosive liquid.
As he rapidly corroded the flesh wall, the sound of sizzling and gnawing filled the air.
The flesh wall was soon corroded into a giant meat pit.
Liang Yuan quickly extracted an appropriate amount of Ubo Salsa Glue from his inventory.
The meat pit began emitting large amounts of smoke, and the sound of corrosion crackled intensely.
Liang Yuan retreated swiftly, leaving that area.
Yet, he noticed that the evaporated smoke was carrying a formidable corrosion, melting the flesh wall and ice layer around it quickly.
Soon after, as the smoke dispersed, Liang Yuan sharply heard the sounds of explosions and chaos coming from across.
He did not venture inside hastily but waited until the corrosive liquid had completely dissipated before activating the Spirit Turtle Shield and Scale Armor, proceeding cautiously into the meat wall.
Inside the meat wall, the ground was filled with viscous liquid from the corrosion and residual high-temperature heat.
Liang Yuan didn’t step into the viscous liquid, knowing well that the liquid likely carried intense corrosion.
Using Spiritual Telekinesis, he lifted his feet, floating above the liquid, rapidly advancing into the cave.
He traversed to the end, where he noticed a thin layer of flesh wall not fully corroded away in front.
That thin layer of flesh wall faintly allowed light to seep through.
"There’s light!"
Liang Yuan was intrigued and gently tore open the membrane, peering through.
Across, he saw a large group of people yelling in terror; the massive ice-cave hall was more than double the size compared to his side.
At that moment, the walls of this ice-cave hall bore marks of excavation.
Chandeliers hung on the flesh wall, illuminating the area brightly.
Below, the ice layer was also excavated, with several places built into structures.
Many muscular men, bound with shackles and handcuffs, hid in nearby cave pits.
In the distant center area, a group was in fierce combat.
From a glance, explosions of energy erupted, casting brilliant flashing lights, and the sound of explosions boomed incessantly.
Among those lights, many soil yellow halos were present, accompanied by numerous ice-blue glows.
Besides, flames were blazing and exploding, radiating rays of peril.
Nearby, several corpses lay, seemingly collateral casualties.
Liang Yuan scanned the group, then focused on a pit not far away.
In the largest pit, a man sat cross-legged in the void.
A light shone around him, the ice-blue divine light forming a massive Barrier.
Mists shrouded him, giving off an air of mystery.
From the current battle situation, personnel from the Earth Mother Sect, dressed in yellow uniforms, were continuously charging toward that figure.
Meanwhile, those Ice Armor Warriors and some Superpower Users were striving to prevent the Earth Mother Sect personnel from approaching that man.
"Is that man the Master of Fog City, Chang Yuntao?"
Liang Yuan’s gaze locked onto the mist-enshrouded ice-blue Barrier, showing a contemplative expression.
