Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 739 - 331: Deep Sea Seed of Origin (Part 2)

The two Temple Guards died in frustration, though their deaths were not unjust.

Wu Chang’s strength at this moment is 480 points, nearly reaching the limit of the Desolate Realm. Before obtaining the Blasphemer Title, even when he activated the Root Knight transformation, his strength was only 500 points.

Even Erin’s True Divine Body, or the Master of the Deep Sea in their prime, would not surpass him in the Strength Attribute.

With the effect of the Blasphemer, dealing with Temple Guards is easier for him than it is for Erin. Moreover, the two Temple Guards lowered their heads, practically offering themselves up, which was akin to handing over their lives.

With the two Temple Guards removed, there were no more obstacles in the Land of Sleep, and Wu Chang stepped into the Deep Sea Temple.

Unlike the dry space outside, the interior of the temple restored the style of the Lost Continent. Upon pushing open the temple doors, Wu Chang was met with a strong stench.

The floor, pillars, and even the ceiling were covered in thick green mucus, with strands connecting the large patches of mucus, trembling slightly, resembling cobwebs, or vascular networks.

The mucus on the ground was so deep that it could easily be mistaken for a shallow sea, and Wu Chang used the Sea Giant to adjust his height to a hundred meters, with the mucus still reaching his shins.

Every step felt like walking on something alive, with the sticky, soft, and vibrant texture, like treading through the innards of a creature.

Luckily, Wu Chang wasn’t a germaphobe, otherwise, he’d hardly be able to walk.

He endured the harsh environment of the temple, striding through the mucus towards the depths of the temple, where he felt a call from his bloodline.

Upon pushing open the second door and reaching the true inner core of the temple, he was stunned by the scene before him.

In the center of the inner hall, a giant crystalline egg was buried within a web formed by the green mucus.

The egg’s surface resembled crystal, yet possessed a clarity and purity unmatched by any crystal. Inside the egg, a mass of black mist floated.

He couldn’t discern the specific form of the mist, but the Deep Sea Alien Species bloodline within him informed him that the contents within were of the same origin as him.

To be precise, his bloodline was born of that mass of mist.

Wu Chang was drawn to the mist, his gaze entranced, as he approached the egg, touching its crystal-like surface, a line of information appeared before him.

"Item Name: Deep Sea Origin"

"Item Effect: Unknown"

Seeing the effect was unknown, Wu Chang realized that the object before him was far more extraordinary than he’d thought.

Since the official information was useless, he could only rely on his private search engine.

He took out the All-Knowing Crystal and inquired about the origin of the crystal egg. The All-Knowing Crystal was not detailed, but it provided a key piece of information, which was:

"Consuming the Deep Sea Origin will unlock the constraints of the Deep Sea Alien Species bloodline, granting the Primordial Bloodline, unfettered by bloodline limits."

Wu Chang promptly asked about the consumption method, and the All-Knowing Crystal replied simply.

"Swallow whole."

Wu Chang plucked the crystal egg from the mucus web, summoned the Water of the Blind Abyss to wash away the green mucus on the egg’s surface, hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, and exclaimed:

"Clean and hygienic, let’s do it!"

The crystal egg appeared hard, but melted upon entering his mouth, an indescribable sweetness flowed down his throat into his stomach, where a massive surge of Water Attribute Energy exploded within him.

The Water Attribute Energy coursed through his veins, flowing to every inch of his body, rendering him momentarily immobile.

The next moment, he widened his eyes helplessly as he saw the inner temple doors close, large quantities of green mucus surged from the ground, swallowing his body.

Perhaps due to consuming the Deep Sea Origin, being enveloped in the green mucus did not disgust him. Instead, he was captivated by its touch.

The green mucus coagulated on his surface, transforming into the crystal egg shell he had seen before, while he replaced the mist inside the egg, becoming a large-sized crystal egg.

Enveloped by the egg shell, he felt his flesh dissolving within the Water Attribute Energy inside.

This dissolution benefited him, causing the various powers within him to cease resisting and actively cooperate with this transformation.

Within minutes, his flesh completely dissolved into a liquid, filling the transparent egg shell.

The sensation was peculiar; he clearly had no body, yet could perceive his surroundings as usual.

Soon, a wave of drowsiness hit, making him wish to sleep.

In his half-conscious state, a peculiar warm flow surged within him, dispelling the drowsiness that his will could not counteract.

Following the warm flow, he found it emanated from the All-Knowing Crystal, now immersed in his liquid body.

This warmth was familiar, identically sourced from the Primordial Spirit Core.

With the drowsiness dispelled, Wu Chang finally realized what was happening.

He was in the process of integrating the Deep Sea Origin, awakening the Primordial Bloodline, requiring immense energy intake, sourced from the green mucus filling the stone chamber.

His earlier drowsiness stemmed from insufficient energy needed for evolution, the energy supplied by the green mucus wasn’t enough for him to break free in a short period, so life’s instinct urged him to sleep through the lengthy growth phase.

However, the All-Knowing Crystal released its stored Primordial Spirit Core, supplementing the necessary energy, allowing rapid absorption completion.

Without the All-Knowing Crystal, yielding to instinct would have put him to sleep for decades or even centuries like the Master of the Deep Sea.

Understand that with each bloodline awakening, both his corporeal form and True Self evolved together.
