Chapter 607: Open A Treasure Box
“I-Impossible!”
To its shock and despair, the Vortex saw that not only were the silver-eyed boy’s spirit tattoos complicated and dazzling, they were also spreading out of his skin. The spirit tattoos intersected, gathered together, and shone like crystalline spirit energy armor.
“This is… Spirit Armor Realm!” the Vortex cried out in despair.
When a superhuman’s cultivation realm reached the peak of Heaven Realm, it could gush out of their body. With the help of spirit energy magnetic fields, it would form a spirit armor made of pure energy.
This was what it meant to be in Spirit Armor Realm.
Being able to turn spirit energy into armor was the first sign of stepping into Deity Realm and becoming a first-class elite.
A normal superhuman might fight for decades in mountains of corpses and obtain all sorts of miraculous encounters, treasures, and guidance from famous teachers, but still be unable to reach Heaven Realm.
The seemingly inconspicuous silver-eyed boy seemed like he was less than ten years old, but he managed to channel power that was at the peak of Heaven Realm, so there was no way that the Vortex would not be surprised.
In an instant, A’Ji’s entire right arm was covered in silver spirit armor. It shone like a mirror.
Since it was pure energy, it could break through the limits of mechanical components and shine in the most dazzling fashion and in a manner that violated the laws of physics. This vambrace was so dazzling that it was like an impenetrable saber. There were also streams of magma surrounding the gaps of the vambrace.
A’Ji’s face looked a little pale under the illumination of the mirror and magma.
With his weak body, forcibly circulating spirit energy and displaying this amazing skill pushed him to the brink of breaking down.
But his brilliant eyes shone with murderous amusement.
A’Ji stuck out his tongue and licked his sharp canine teeth. He giggled. “I heard that you’re afraid of fire.”
Whoosh!
The magma-like spirit energy circulating in his vambrace instantly exploded.
Burning flames filled the entire medical cabin, causing A’Ji and the Vortex to feel like they were stuck in a furnace or a volcano.
The spirit energy armor on top of the silver-eyed boy’s arm continued spreading out and became sharper until it created a domineering flame saber.
The spirit flames that flowed down the saber dropped on the alloy floor, which began to sizzle right away. Black holes were burned through the floor.
The astonishing presence also tore apart the heavy cloak. It burned to a crisp, revealing the thin but crystalline and perfect body underneath.
The boy’s body was like something carved out of a crystal marrow and branded with the symbol of an X-shaped eye on the chest area.
As the spirit flames burned in the background, the X-eyed eye seemed about to jump out of the silver-eyed boy’s chest and levitate in the air.
When the Vortex saw the X-shaped eye, it looked even more surprised compared to the time it saw the silver-eyed boy’s spirit energy saber.
It took three steps back and pointed at A’Ji’s chest. It screeched, “It’s you! You’re—”
“You know too much,” A’Ji said coldly.
He swung the burning spirit energy saber down.
It was a simple, downward slash with no flourish.
But the saber glare split up at the moment it swung down. It split into hundreds of saber glares that cut at the Vortex from all directions and hundreds of different angles.
The Vortex had no room to dodge and was hit head-on.
Hundreds of saber glares flashed and seeped into its body.
The next moment, the heat in the room disappeared without a trace.
It was as if all that happened a moment ago was just an unbearable nightmare.
A’Ji put away his saber and stared at the Vortex coldly.
“So, it’s you. No wonder…”
The Vortex looked like it was smiling and crying at the same time.
It extended its strange hand. It was deformed and only held together by adhesive liquid. It shuddered as it reached for the silver-eyed boy and tried to touch the X-shaped eye on A’Ji’s chest.
A’Ji stared at it coldly. His face was stark pale, but he said nothing.
The slash just then had used up all the spirit energy in his new body. He would have a long cool down and recovery period.
But that slash was enough.
The Vortex was now frozen.
Its deformed hand was only one finger’s length away from A’Ji’s chest, so if it just pushed forward a little more, it could pierce the boy’s heart.
But balls of ominous red light gushed out from the intersecting wounds on its body.
It was as if the magma had gushed into its body from the silver-eyed boy’s saber. It was currently flowing at will in the Vortex’s body and destroying its blood vessels, nerves, muscles, bones, tendons, and even cells with an unstoppable force.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
When ten thousand red rays shone through the wounds and tore up the Vortex’s mangled body, no matter how much it tried to stick itself together with its adhesive liquid, it could no longer connect its torn flesh.
Its limbs moved like vipers whose bones were broken. Very soon, they were engulfed by raging flames.
In the flames, the Vortex’s true form escaped from the body in the form of a transparent adhesive liquid.
But the flames followed it, and the Vortex’s body turned dark and became brittle. It even smelled of burnt stuff and lost the ability to change into any form and flow wherever it wanted.
The Vortex let out a piercing shriek.
Transparent liquid kept bursting out of its charred and brittle shell. Then, it was devoured by eager flames until it was burnt completely and stopped moving.
When all the adhesive liquid was forced out of the burning corpse and became a pile of black charcoal, A’Ji sighed in relief, because it looked like the Vortex no longer had any signs of life.
He wanted to go up and deliver a second blow to the pile of charcoal to make sure, but he had already spent all his spirit flames. His right arm’s flesh was already torn, and fine cracks appeared on his bones.
After all, the young body had not even gone through puberty yet. No matter what, it was not able to use the power at the peak of Heaven Realm so easily!
A’Ji laughed at himself.
His expression was completely different from that of the A’Ji who had talked to Meng Chao.
He looked in the direction of the shattered mechanical arms on the floor to find a few weapons he could use, as well as some high-density disinfectant so that he could completely get rid of the charred Vortex.
But against his expectations, at that moment, the charred ball let out a shriek and split up.
Splat!
The Vortex had been lurking in the charred shell in the form of hundreds of black droplets. Now, they gushed out like a shower and splashed all over the place.
A’Ji’s pupils shrunk.
He moved quickly. Like lightning, he jumped behind a medical cabin and dodged most of the black liquid’s attack.
But one drop of black liquid stained his left arm.
The black liquid sizzled, and in an instant, countless long and thin tentacles stabbed into A’Ji’s flesh.
They were like black leeches with one hundred times the activity of a normal leech. Half of them crawled over A’Ji’s arm, ready to disappear into his flesh.
Without any expression on his face, A’Ji casually grabbed a scalpel that had fallen off a mechanical arm and drove it into his arm without any hesitation. With smooth movements, he dug out a huge piece of flesh and tossed the black liquid onto the floor.
The black liquid soon tainted the entire piece of flesh.
The tentacles intersected and like nerves and blood vessels took control of the flesh’s functions.
A’Ji could already imagine it. If he did not act resolutely, the black liquid would have reached his brain through his blood vessels and continued growing in his cerebral cortex until it occupied his brain.
But unfortunately, the black liquid could only hug its piece of flesh and twitch in vain.
It also realized that it had failed once again.
With the piece of flesh in its embrace, the Vortex shrieked in anger, then jumped and squirmed forward.
A’Ji spat coldly.
He did not care about the bloody wound on his arm and just grabbed a can of liquid nitrogen spray from a corner.
He always had it around to deal with out-of-control monsters.
It was perfect to take care of the Vortex.
Shizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Liquid nitrogen was nearly -200 degrees Celsius. It turned into ice fog when it gushed out, and, in an instant, froze the jumping flesh and the adhesive liquid inside it into ice.
The remaining black liquid sensed the cold chill and realized that things were bad. They quickly hissed and fled in every direction.
But A’Ji caught up to them and sprayed liquid nitrogen on them to freeze them.
Then, A’Ji brought up two mechanical arms and swung them like hammers to crush all of the ice blocks with adhesive liquid in them.
He originally wanted to look for sharper weapons or drugs to handle the shiny fragments on the floor, but his body could no longer handle the strain. He staggered and nearly fell on the floor.
While looking at the terrifying wound on his arm and sensing his erratic heartbeat and breathing, A’Ji smiled in resignation.
For the time being, he did not have a better method to take care of the shiny fragments on the floor. He should first recover his strength.
If he were too slow, then everything would be in vain.
A’Ji sprayed another round of liquid nitrogen on the floor before he staggered outside.
With great familiarity, he opened the room leading to the cages and ran past the cage with the Broken Claw Dragon detained inside.
The Broken Claw Dragon smelled the scent of human blood and rushed over in excitement. With a loud bang, it crashed into the bars connected to electricity, and sparks flew everywhere.
But A’Ji did not even frown at this. It was as if he knew that the Broken Claw Dragon had been detained here.
At the moment, he did not have the time to deal with the Broken Claw Dragon. He moved past the cage and arrived at the material storage outside.
Various high-grade monster materials such as Hell Beasts’ hearts and Apocalyptic Beasts’ spines were stored there. They were very fragrant, and all of them were worth cities.
There were also quite a lot of crystals that were even more valuable, rare, and helpful to cultivation compared to Red Radiance Jade crystal marrows. The spirit energy contained in one single crystal that was the size of a fingernail could propel a heavy armored airship full of weapons for three days and three nights.
These treasures were definitely really good for recovering spirit energy.
But to A’Ji, they were like broken shoes.
He walked straight to the last row of shelves.
Without even thinking, he casually switched the positions of two crystals on the third row, then placed a Hell Beast’s heart from the fourth row on the last position in the first row.
With a light click, this row of shelves quietly slid into the wall along a set of hidden sliders. They moved to the sides and revealed a small, exquisite safe.
