Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 498 Mutation!

Zheng Zha's vampire characteristics, as well as many essence blood characteristics, manifested under the stimulation of the main god, but not all of them appeared overnight. Therefore, by the time these characteristics had become fully manifested, twenty minutes had already passed.

"It should be about time, right?" Zhang Jie muttered.

Mu Xiang nodded: "Judging from the injection of these light spots, his bloodline has been steadily improving. Otherwise, these essence blood wouldn't be expressed so clearly."

Crimson flames flowed through Zheng Zha's body, Asura battle qi swirled around his arms, and bat wings covered in dragon scales were wrapped in phoenix fire, moving rhythmically with his body. Even through the pillar of light from the main god, Mu Xiang could still feel Zheng Zha's aura continuously strengthening.

"Let's wait for his feedback when he comes down," Mu Xiang said.

The members of the Central Continent Team all nodded, quite curious about how much Zheng Zha would improve. Although the reward points required for the Vampire Emperor were only half that of the Superhuman Bloodline, it was still an S-rank bloodline... Even if Zheng Zha didn't rely on physical combat, his physical strength would still be unimaginable to others, right?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the light spots within the pillar gradually turned blood red. Although the light did not envelop the entire God's Space, these blood red light spots still demonstrated the extraordinary nature of this enhancement.

"Could it be that all S-class bloodlines have this kind of special effect?" Zhang Heng asked doubtfully. "You rich bastards, you win!"

The crimson light surged into Zheng Zha's body. Although Zheng Zha's size and appearance did not change dramatically, and even his bat wings did not expand more wildly, he gave people a strange feeling.

Although it's not outwardly noticeable, it subconsciously makes people believe that this is a deeper level of strengthening.

The crimson light spots gradually thinned and slowed down. Mu Xiang knew this meant the enhancement was about to end... the Central Continent Team's second S-rank bloodline was about to be born.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Zheng Zha's body jolted violently, and countless cracks appeared on his skin. At the same time, his three heads and six arms, Asura battle aura, and many other characteristics began to sway. His face showed pain, but he was still not fully conscious, only letting out muffled groans of pain.

Everyone's expression changed, and Mu Xiang and Zhang Jie stepped forward. They exchanged a glance, both knowing that something must have gone wrong… Zheng Zha had experienced far more than just losing limbs; he'd been beaten to a pulp or reduced to ashes. For him to be in such pain, it was clearly not something simple.

Mu Xiang jumped up and arrived next to Zheng Zha, then frowned.

Previously, he hadn't had time to concentrate on observing, but once he got closer, many details became much clearer... The scales on Zheng Zha's body were frantically collapsing and then retracting into his body. This was by no means a natural withdrawal of his essence and blood power, but rather a result forced by some kind of force.

Beneath these dense cracks, there are flowing golden threads of light.

These golden threads of light, almost tangible, pierced Zheng Zha's body, which had already advanced to the level of a vampire emperor, causing the vampire energy to surge violently. The threads of light moved like dragons and snakes, or like needles peeking out, trying to break free. If it were just simple alien energy, it would obviously not be allowed by vampire energy at this level and would inevitably be expelled... However, while the vampire energy was surging, it tightly enveloped these golden threads of light, trying to pull them back into Zheng Zha's body, to integrate them into the vampire energy, and to merge them into his blood.

With Zheng Zha's current bloodline, his self-healing ability is naturally ridiculously strong, so how could there be cracks that stay there for no reason? In fact, these cracks that are all over Zheng Zha's body and continue to spread and differentiate are the result of the golden light threads trying to come out but not being able to, and the stalemate between them and the vampire energy!

"What's wrong?" A girl's voice rang out from not far away; it was Loli's voice. She was about to come out and call everyone to eat when she saw that everyone had a solemn expression, with Mu Xiang hovering beside Zheng Zha.

Zhang Jie scratched his head, thinking to himself that this was troublesome. He smiled and tried to let Loli go into the room first, but the little girl firmly shook her head. Helpless, he could only raise a telekinetic barrier in front of everyone to make them safer, while he stood below and waited.

Mu Xiang's face was extremely ugly, not because he heard Loli's voice, but because he recognized the golden light thread... it was his own energy!
[Damn it, how did my energy end up in Zheng Zha's body?!]

Mu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling an experiment he and Chu Xuan had conducted long ago... the effects of different blood types on vampire enhancers. After proving that the blood of enhancers was more effective, Mu Xiang even gave Zheng Zha a considerable amount of his own blood so that he could drink it to replenish his strength in crucial moments.

Could this be the reason?

While essence blood certainly contains a lot of information and has the potential to be converted into energy... it's just blood. Mu Xiang's cultivation level wasn't high enough at the time, so how could he have forced out essence blood? Besides, making Zheng Zha drink his own essence blood seems to easily lead people to have all sorts of thoughts!
On the other hand, even if this energy comes from his own blood, why is there such a strong reaction? Zheng Zha is of vampire bloodline. Once he reaches a high level, he can naturally absorb the essence of other blood for his own use... In fact, the vampire physique can harmonize the essence of other races and transform it into his own power. Why is this happening?

Mu Xiang took a deep breath and reached out to touch the pillar of light from the main god. This pillar of light seemed to have a physical form, separating the inside from the outside. If it were before, Mu Xiang might have been blocked, but now he had a way.

As he exerted force with his palm, an invisible power surged into the pillar of light, breaking through the God's blockade. Although he couldn't completely break through the God's methods, he could certainly interfere in some way.

When Mu Xiang's aura appeared inside the pillar of light, the countless light threads surged wildly as if they had found an outlet, swinging towards Mu Xiang's palm. Although the vampire energy still pulled them back, the golden light threads began to extend further outward.

Zhang Jie's voice rang in Zheng Zha's mind at that moment: "Your vampire energy has spread throughout your body, hasn't it? Now control the part you can control, trigger a chain reaction, and don't fight against Mu Xiang!"

Zheng Zha's expression slightly hardened. Whether it was Zhang Jie's voice or Mu Xiang's power that eased his pain somewhat, he obeyed and regained control of his body. In fact, his consciousness hadn't fully recovered before, and even his subconscious couldn't function. Otherwise, why would he be torturing himself like this?

Zhang Jie's mental energy and suggestive voice forcibly pulled his consciousness back, which actually helped him a lot. As the light threads were withdrawn, the cracks on Zheng Zha's body slowly healed.
