As the two great wizards, one in black and one in white, remained locked in a stalemate, the black round mirror suddenly rose slowly into the air. The mirror surface began to expand, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from a flat circle into a sphere. The sphere rotated slowly, like the Earth rotating, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a whirlwind.
The pillar of light enveloping Blood Eye had disappeared. Seeing the Black and White Wizard continuously increasing his power, Blood Eye once again focused his attention on the black, spinning sphere.
A powerful force emanated from the sphere, a force that Blood Eye found extremely familiar, yet he couldn't quite place where he had seen it before.
A moment later, the black ball stopped spinning. Blood Eyes looked up and involuntarily took two steps back in shock.
The black sphere had somehow transformed into a gigantic eyeball, its color an eerie blood red. A two-meter-diameter blood-red pupil was staring menacingly at a blood-red pupil several meters below.
Blood Eye was utterly shocked, a sudden, involuntary tremor running through him. This eyeball was incredibly familiar, a version magnified countless times within his Blood Eye. No wonder he felt that familiar power; it was his own.
But then, something even more shocking happened to Blood Eye. The eerie blood sphere stared unblinkingly at Blood Eye, and after a nameless tremor, another enormous emerald green eyeball flashed out from behind the blood-red one. Seeing the shimmering green light and the blood-red pupil both staring menacingly at him, Blood Eye could no longer contain himself and roared, "What the hell are you? Die!"
He was about to leap up and smash those two strange things that looked exactly like his own eyes with one punch when he felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at by those eyes. Even with his deep-set blood-red pupils, he couldn't help but lose his composure at this moment.
A beam of green light shot out from the emerald pupils, its two-meter diameter making it appear incredibly thick, instantly enveloping the blood-eyed figure leaping into the air within its glow.
Suddenly, a green wave of fire shot into the sky, instantly engulfing Blood Pupil in a raging sea of flames.
Blood Eyes didn't hesitate. He was too familiar with his own power. His left eye, Azure Eye, also shot out a green light. Suddenly, the raging green flames automatically parted in front of him, making way for him.
Blood Eyes revealed a mocking smile. Using his own power to attack him? This was truly a formidable opponent. But before his smile could fade, his face froze abruptly as green flames formed a circle and pounced on his body like a tiger.
A thick, blood-red ray suddenly shot out from the pupil of the blood-red eyeball, instantly piercing through Blood Eye from head to toe. Before a scream could even be uttered, Blood Eye's body turned to ashes.
Chapter 176 Fire of Energy
Ling Yun slowly emerged from the corner of the space, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. His left eye turned blood-red, and his right eye turned emerald green. The two enormous eyeballs in the air, like phantoms, slowly faded and then gradually disappeared.
During this time, the copying ability continuously analyzed the genetic mutation data of the Blood Eye and Azure Eye. With the support of the core energy, the copying ability finally analyzed all the data of the Blood Eye's two peculiar eyes in a short period of time, and then input it into Ling Yun's brain, enabling Ling Yun to instantly grasp the genetic combination code of this innate anomaly.
However, simply understanding the secrets of gene combination is not enough. It's like understanding the principle of an engine, but without the materials, you still can't build one. Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients. The genes of those with special abilities are simply different from ordinary people from birth, but genes are still stable segments. Unique genes like blood-red eyes are still innate gifts, and even if the principles are understood, genes cannot be changed at will.
However, just before entering the core space, Ling Yun's newly acquired superpower came in handy. The significance of this miraculous power was no less than that of the replication power; in some instances, its importance even surpassed replication. After undergoing multiple microscopic to macroscopic structural adjustments, the domain had acquired the ability to regenerate and create.
Therefore, Ling Yun named this extraordinary technique, which possesses the ability to create and regenerate, the Hand of God!
The Hand of God quickly readjusted Ling Yun's eye genes according to the genetic data of the Blood Eye he possessed, instantly creating Blood Eyes and Azure Eyes that were identical to the Blood Eyes. Moreover, after Ling Yun optimized the data, the Blood Eyes and Azure Eyes already possessed incredible abilities. Even Ling Yun couldn't figure out the true power of the new Blood Eyes and Azure Eyes, but it was certain that as Ling Yun's power increased, the power of these unique eyes would inevitably show a surprising display.
When using his "God's Hand" to convert the genetic data between ordinary eyes and bloodshot eyes, Ling Yun appeared quite clumsy, carefully altering the position of each gene. The vast amount of gene fragments, seemingly chaotic, were actually composed of molecules whose location and information were distinct; even a random change in one location could cause drastically different consequences. While gorillas and humans differ by only one percent in genetics, they exhibit enormous differences in both appearance and intelligence.
Diamonds and charcoal are both composed of carbon molecules, but due to differences in their molecular structure, they appear as completely different substances. The same applies to gene sequencing; simply changing the sequence according to different structures can, like the butterfly effect, result in two entirely different, even diametrically opposed, characteristics.
If Ling Yun were to rely solely on his mental energy field to methodically alter the structure and sequence of genes, it would likely take a thousand years to completely change the genes that make up an eyeball. Even a single cell contains a vast number of genetic molecules. Artificially adjusting genes is akin to finding a needle in a haystack or the legendary Yu Gong trying to move a mountain.
Fortunately, the replication ability served as a substitute. Since the formed data combination already existed in Ling Yun's mind, Ling Yun only needed to replace the original eye's genetic data with the genetic data of the Blood Eye and the Azure Eye. The whole process was countless times faster and could be completed in an instant. Moreover, the process was completely reversible and would never have any errors or omissions.
After some thought, Ling Yun decided to optimize the genes of his Blood Eye and Azure Eye into latent abilities. This way, unless viewed through a mental field, his eyes would always maintain their normal appearance and not be as eye-catching as his Blood Eye. In this way, not only could his power be preserved, but he would also appear more low-key, which perfectly suited Ling Yun's personality.
The power of the Eye of Illusion can be superimposed on the Blood Eye and the Azure Eye without affecting each other. In a sense, Ling Yun is like a hodgepodge, able to integrate and use all the strengths of others without affecting each other, and even use them in combination to unleash supernatural powers far exceeding his own strength.
Looking up at the great wizard who was still fighting the white figure, Ling Yun had lost interest in continuing to explore witchcraft. The process of condensing witchcraft power was already very clear to Ling Yun under the analysis of the Eye of Illusion and the ability to replicate. Although this method still puzzled and incomprehensible to Ling Yun, the fact that most of the witchcraft was mental attack did not arouse Ling Yun's desire to continue exploring it.
Furthermore, the Grand Wizard lacks a mental field, meaning he cannot be subjected to the Soul Extraction Technique. Otherwise, the overly forceful extraction of memories would instantly destroy all valid information in his brain, and Ling Yun doesn't want to obtain pure mental garbage. As long as he knows the source of the wizard's power and records these processes, he will eventually figure out the essence behind wizardry.
In fact, even the Grand Shaman, a highly skilled elder, only knew how to perform magic, not the underlying principles. The power of magic was largely inherited rather than acquired through personal practice. Not everyone in the tribe could become a shaman through training; the appointment of a shaman had to be designated by the previous generation's elder. The elder was unaware of the reasons for this designation, and neither was the newly appointed shaman. They worshipped a vague and ethereal deity: the Shaman God.
Ling Yun wasn't sure if the God of Sorcery truly existed in this world; he was originally a complete atheist. However, after gaining supernatural abilities, this unwavering faith gradually became blurred. What is a god? Is possessing great power enough to be a god? Whenever he saw depictions of gods in the human world, this vague thought would flash through Ling Yun's mind.
These humanized deities are certainly not true gods, just as ants cannot understand humans. So how can humans understand gods according to their own concepts? If great power makes someone a god, then wouldn't someone who cultivates supernatural abilities to an unimaginable level, capable of instantly destroying the Earth, be a god?
God is just a concept, a concept in the minds of a group of people or individuals. In other words, a deity is just a figment of thought, and when you need this thought, the deity will appear.
The world of gods does not need to be understood, nor does it require understanding. If you believe in Him, He exists, silently watching over you and being with you. This is God.
The struggle between darkness and light has reached a fever pitch, like two distinct paintings colliding repeatedly, producing countless illusory gray flames—signs of an impending spatial rift. However, such a rift cannot form within the core space; energy can mend everything, dispersing the concentrated force and restoring balance.
Yes, balance. This is the latest truth that Ling Yun has come to understand after mastering the core space. Everything exists in balance; the duality of anything can be seen as a form of balance. Light and darkness, good and evil, life and death, yin and yang—all beings in the universe exist in balance.
Ling Yun, within the wondrous space of the core, unexpectedly obtained the core's key and became the external form of the barrier. After possessing the most powerful force directly belonging to nature, he experienced things that others could never experience, and this opportunity only came once.
Ling Yun slowly extended a palm, and suddenly a small, ghostly blue flame ignited above it. Like the yellow flame on an ordinary candle, the ghostly blue flame had nothing special about it except for its color, and even when you got close to the tip of the flame, you couldn't feel any heat at all.
However, Ling Yun's expression turned solemn and cautious for the first time, as if what was blooming in his palm was not a small flame, but a powerful nuclear weapon.
All the energy fountains changed, and the energy flows that made up the fountains emitted the same alternating shapes and ripples as the flames constantly changed form. Even the energy pillar that formed the core was slowly deforming and twisting, occasionally spewing out beams of energy.
This dark blue flame is the flame of energy, a flame formed from the purest energy, powerful enough to annihilate all material existence. Even with Ling Yun's current immense power, he can only condense one such flame, and this energy flame is enough to resonate with all the energy existing in the core space.
With a gentle upward thrust, the energy flames broke free from Lingyun's control and slowly floated upwards, directly above the feet of the great wizards locked in battle.
The great wizard was locked in a fierce battle with the white figure when a strange feeling suddenly arose in his mind. However, with black and white clashing at their most intense point, he had no time to think about anything else.
Suddenly, the light burst like a bubble, and in the blink of an eye, the overwhelming light melted away like spring snow under the sun, disappearing completely. Darkness once again took over the dominant position.
The sudden victory left the great wizard momentarily stunned. Before he could even comprehend what was happening, he suddenly felt his body gradually becoming lighter. The energy fountain and energy pillar slowly descended in the darkness.
The great wizard looked down in confusion, and immediately his expression became extremely strange. He didn't know when, but his lower body had completely disappeared from the waist down. Along with half of his body was half of heavy darkness, like a corner illuminated by the sun, where the shadow was slowly receding.
The great wizard let out a heart-wrenching roar, but before the long sound could pierce the quiet space, the eerie blue flames devoured his remaining head, freezing the syllables in the swirling dust particles.
The darkness receded, and the deep blue core space returned to tranquility. The energy flames vanished in a flash, separating back into energy and entering the energy pillars, as if nothing had ever happened.
Chapter 177 Class A Invasion
Inside the control room, Instructor Fang and another instructor stared nervously at the light screen before them. The lines on the screen continued to fluctuate and change, their meaning only understood by the two instructors. Xia Lan and Ye Feng stood beside the two instructors. Although they had already practiced a small portion of the Skynet system, they still couldn't decipher the meaning behind the lines.
These lines represent all the changes inside and outside the barrier, including energy, living things, and speed, etc. It is not something that can be understood immediately just by mastering the key to the barrier. Just like seeing binary computer code, it takes a long time of practice to see what the various lines represent and what the meaning of their mutual fluctuations is.
