Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 108, The Mysterious Blood Crystal
Memories, like colorful snowflakes, entered Jiang Ming's mind.

"Luotun World City's territory radiates across an area of ​​970 million square kilometers. It governs 340 main cities and approximately 1,400 domain-level beings."

From the consciousness of this world-class city lord before him, Jiang Ming gleaned a wealth of information he desired.

"It seems my collection work should be completed quickly."

With a thought, a spatial ring flew from the city lord's corpse in front of him into Jiang Ming's hand.

The Force penetrated into it.

A blood-red crystal flew out.

It was a long, triangular prism-shaped crystal, entirely blood red, its translucency concealing a profound depth.

It pulsated slightly, emitting an invisible rhythm similar to a heartbeat, wave after wave, rippling strangely in the tranquil space.

"it's beautiful."

Jiang Ming's gaze fell on the crystal in front of him, sensing the fluctuations within it.

"Let's test the compatibility between me and Blood Crystal."

With a thought, Jiang Ming's palm split open, revealing flesh and blood that shone like precious jade.

Under Jiang Ming's control, the Blood Crystal flew into Jiang Ming's palm.

When the beautiful and dazzling Blood Crystal touched the wound, especially when the blood touched it, an invisible and strange energy suddenly burst forth from the Blood Crystal, as if a peerless ferocious beast that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly rushed into Jiang Ming's body.

An incomparably fierce will descended and directly merged into Jiang Ming's mind.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts and roars of battle filled the air, echoing in his mind. That incomparably fierce and tyrannical will clashed with Jiang Ming's will time and time again. This was a test of pure will.

"Humph!"

A soft hum, yet it sounded like a thunderclap from the heavens.

The overwhelming will, as majestic as the heavens, pressed down, instantly crushing the boundless killing intent into dust and annihilating it completely.

"A will without a carrier is like a tree without roots. The consciousness within this Blood Crystal is so powerful that it can still exist without a carrier."

That's really impressive.

Although Jiang Ming easily extinguished that will, he still felt amazed.

These consciousnesses have existed for countless billions of years, yet they still possess such immense willpower. A glimpse into one aspect reveals the whole picture, and it also gave Jiang Ming some insight into higher-level powers.

"Boom!"

Just then, Jiang Ming erased the consciousness within the Blood Crystal.

It seemed that only then was the internal power truly activated, and strands of red thread from the Blood Crystal frantically rushed into Jiang Ming's body.

Jiang Ming's skin sometimes solidified into a carapace, and the veins on his arms sometimes became completely transparent, like transparent transistor channels, and sometimes turned pure gold. His muscles also changed constantly.

At the same time, a feeling of pain acted on Jiang Ming's mind.

That was an extreme pain.

If it were any other cosmic-level martial artist, it wouldn't be surprising if their soul were shattered by this pain.

But these pains, when they acted on Jiang Ming, couldn't even move him.

Jiang Ming carefully observed the changes during the process of fusing the Blood Crystal.

That raging crimson energy, like the finest carving knife, etched mysterious patterns deep within his flesh and bones.

A sense of vitality and power, accompanied by an indescribable sharpness, is bursting forth and awakening at the cellular level.

He could clearly hear his bones groaning, and his blood tinged with a faint golden hue as it flowed. An aura of primal savagery, ferocity, and unparalleled dominance quietly emanated from Jiang Ming, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

"There have been changes, but it doesn't seem to be enough."

After his body's transformation was complete, Jiang Ming experienced the changes within his body.

He noticed changes deep within his cells after fusing with the Blood Crystal, but these changes were not yet obvious.

"The Force, the body, the will—none of these have changed, but I can feel that my body has undergone a leap."

The leap was small, but it really happened.

It should be the power of a single Blood Crystal, not enough to amplify my abilities.

Besides that, there was another force.

Jiang Ming thought to himself, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

On his chest appeared blood-red runes that seemed simple yet were incredibly profound. As the blood-red runes appeared, Jiang Ming could sense that his understanding of the laws had become clearer.

The rhythm of space, the passage of time, the heat of fire
Everything changed before Jiang Ming's eyes.

"After fusing with the Blood Crystal, my senses of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, and time have become significantly clearer. Or, to put it another way, after fusing with the Blood Crystal, my connection with the origin of the universe has become closer and easier to sense."

Moreover, the power of my law-based attacks has been enhanced; it has actually increased my law-based attack power by 30%!

No wonder this Blood Crystal is a treasure that even Kings and Venerables are scrambling to seize.

As Jiang Ming was thinking this, another Blood Crystal floated out from the World Ring.

A single Blood Crystal can bring about so many changes for him; he is now increasingly looking forward to the changes that will occur after fusing a large number of Blood Crystals.

Aside from the Immortal Temple, most of the Blood Crystals in this world are concentrated in the possession of world-level and domain-level powerhouses.

Among them, the number of world-class items far exceeds that of domain-level items. Jiang Ming found hundreds of Blood Crystals in the spatial ring of this Luotun City Lord.

Jiang Ming's palm split open, and he directly covered the wound with the Blood Crystal. The invisible force immediately rushed into Jiang Ming's body, while also stimulating the magical power that was already lurking in every cell of Jiang Ming's body.

The blood-red secret patterns appeared on Jiang Ming's chest.

"boom!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

It was as if an endless flood was crashing down, and that murderous and insane will was incredibly powerful, bombarding Jiang Ming's will.

"The impact on my will was twice as great as when I fused with the first Blood Crystal."

Jiang Ming sensed that will and made a judgment in his mind.

With a thought, the overwhelming killing intent dissipated like clouds and mist. Even with a doubled impact on his will, it was still just a gentle breeze to Jiang Ming.

The blood crystal on his palm was emitting wisps of crimson power, which quickly flowed into Jiang Ming's body, causing a dramatic change in his physique.

Crackling~~~
Jiang Ming's body began to grow hair and scales, but they quickly disappeared.

"The physical requirements have also increased; the fusion of this Blood Crystal is truly quite difficult."

Every change in his body was under Jiang Ming's control. Jiang Ming could sense that the requirements for his body to fuse with the second Blood Crystal were actually ten times more difficult than the first one.

At this rate of increase, the third Blood Crystal would require a hundred times the amount needed for the first Blood Crystal.

The fourth one is worth a thousand times more, and the fifth one is worth ten thousand times more.
If this increase doesn't change, even Jiang Ming wouldn't be sure how many Blood Crystals he could fuse.

"It seems I need to make a trip to the Ruins of the Ancient Gods."
