Chapter 534 - 252: Reptilian Dragon Race, Unyielding Realm, Part 2

Chapter 534: Chapter 252: Reptilian Dragon Race, Unyielding Realm, Part 2

The fully-armed, Tier Two Peak Dragon Lizard Captain confirmed his comms bracelet’s signal was being jammed. He stood before the corpse of a Tiger Spine Zerg and asked about his squad’s condition.

"Fuck, the genes of these low-class mongrels will only contaminate the noble bloodline of our Dragon Race..."

Beside the Zerg corpse, a Cyan-Scaled Lizardman engineer complained.

Resisting his nausea, he tore off a leg from a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg, pinched his nose, and stuffed it into his large, triangular mouth, which was lined with rows of fine, sharp teeth.

After a few chews, his mouth and tongue immediately went numb.

He couldn’t help but complain again.

"BLEGH!"

"It’s disgusting and highly toxic. So much worse than the crab-zergs we eat by the Longxing River. These ugly bastards... they really aren’t a race that evolved on the Ancestral Star."

The Dragon Lizard Captain said nothing. He just ate the flesh and blood of the Spine Zerg while silently turning to look at the ruined half of the Meteorite Level Battleship, its stern still in flames.

They had barely managed to break through the Black Barrier, only to be ambushed by a Tier Four Giant Beast while descending on Blue Star. Afterward, they lost contact with the Battleship’s Commander and several other Tier Three Dragon officers.

Now, their only option was to find a way to escape the bizarre space inside this Tier Four Life Form’s abdomen as quickly as possible.

The spatial ripples that occasionally appeared nearby would tear apart and digest their bodies, and the remaining Energy in their Defense Shield was not enough to last until they found an exit.

At this thought, the Dragon Lizard Captain stood up and impatiently urged the few squad members who were still hesitating.

"Stop dawdling! Only by fusing and borrowing their Mental Realm can we adapt to this environment and escape with our lives. Once we land on the surface, we can have a big Synapsida feast to wash this taste out of our mouths!"

"But for now, we just have to pass this damned Alien Species’ Realm Trial!"

Afterward, the six-member, Tier Two Peak squad of lizard-men activated their Energy Protection Shields to mask their auras. Then, they enabled the analysis-and-debugging device on their bracelets and closed their eyes, entering a shared Spirit World.

There, they would use the genes of the Alien Zerg Race they had analyzed and absorbed to activate the Spine Zergs’ Realm Trial.

By passing the trial and mastering the Zerg Race’s Mental Realm, they could use that Energy to neutralize the corrosive effects of the void-like Mental Realm inside the Tier Four Life Form.

Ultimately, they hoped to escape through its excretory tract.

With any luck, they would also be able to contact other lizard-men scattered nearby who were attempting the same thing.

As the squad members closed their vertical-pupiled eyes and sank into the yellow sand in a deep slumber, a large group of Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs, drawn by the commotion, arrived only to find the mutilated corpses of several of their Tier Two kin.

After letting out a few screeches, they rushed toward the distant battleship.

Clinging to their bodies were gray, semi-transparent, round-headed larvae, firmly attached like remoras, living as parasites.

These were the larvae of the Realm Zergs. They ensured that the Spine Zerg Race living inside the Realm King’s body would not be harmed by the void-like Mental Realm, allowing them to diligently clear out foreign "bacteria and viruses" and act as the Realm King’s immune system.

As the six members of the lizard squad entered the Spine Zerg’s Realm Inheritance, similar scenes were unfolding in every corner of the Realm King’s body.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of meters below on the surface of Blue Star, within the main Zerg Race hive northwest of Yunxia Ridge, the Collective Mental Realm Trial for seventy Genetic Warriors was also quietly underway.

Their brains rapidly heated up to a critical point. Although each Genetic Warrior’s Spiritual Attribute was below one thousand, their combined power formed a vast reservoir of Spiritual Energy, creating a massive Realm Trial field comparable to a Divine Realm.

As the Mental Realm World took shape with the speed of a game engine rendering a new creation, the consciousnesses of the seventy Genetic Warriors solidified into bodies on the newly born planet of Ceres.

They slowly awoke on black, hard stone. Just like Shen Jie had, it took them a moment to become fully conscious.

They recalled their identities and the situation at hand.

Shortly after, the conscious forms of Lin Feng and Ling Yi emerged from the Spiritual Passage, appearing above the assembled group.

Qin Hu immediately gathered his team of thirty-six. Under the command of two Battle Group Leaders, Lin Feng’s Genetic Combat Team also quickly fell into formation.

Unfortunately, the Electromagnetic Cannon Replicas in their hands couldn’t form Magnetic Storm Bombs. However, they were still effective after being switched to Armor-Piercing Cannon mode.

Ling Yi surveyed the surroundings and began to explain.

"The more complete the world’s Laws, the stricter the requirements for using weapons and equipment. The upside is that the construction here is incredibly stable and solid. It won’t be like last time, when a volcanic eruption or the death of a Spine Zerg caused the apocalyptic collapse of the entire Mental Realm World."

"So, no matter how many King Spine Zergs you kill here, it won’t damage the world’s stable structure."

"It’s just that the Electromagnetic Cannon’s power is a bit excessive, and the conditions aren’t right to form Plasma Balls. The environment here is simply too harsh, filled with radiation and all sorts of energy fluctuations."

Lin Feng nodded, not paying it much mind.

The Ion Laser Cannon in his hand was unusable, just like the Electromagnetic Cannons.

And while his Golden Quality Hunter Emperor’s Chainsaw Sword had materialized, it had transformed into a level 29 Tiger Zerg Chainsaw Sword.

Its material had also changed from the Mother Empress’s Neck Guard to the Orange Giant Mandible of a Tiger Spine Zerg.

Just as Ling Yi had said, the Mother Empress’s species never existed on Ceres to begin with. Furthermore, aside from the King Spine Zergs, this place couldn’t support any other Tier Three matter.

That included both Spiritual Energy and physical weapons.

Fortunately, everyone’s Tier Two Tiger Armor had loaded in perfectly. Otherwise, their Defense Power would have plummeted, and their combat effectiveness would have been severely diminished.
