Chapter 244: A Lone Spirit Suddenly Appears?

Well, he hoped it was all just his imagination.

After all, based on the information he had previously learned from the Great Zhou's First Emperor Zhou, a Spirit was a powerful existence that could not leave its own world.

So now it seemed extremely likely that it was because of this LV5-level ability.

The ability let a Spirit control a portion of some kind of power within a planet, but precisely because this powerful power was tied to the planet, it could not be taken away — once it left, it would revert to its original form.

Although this point seemed somewhat similar to the Energy Permission fragments he had given the ancient dragons, the essence probably wasn't the same, right?

After all, the name of the ability had, to a certain extent, already hinted at part of the information.

Surely there couldn't be that many coincidences under heaven, could there?

Shaking his head, Baichuan, whose Dragon Claw was fumbling at his chin, had a flicker in his eyes, suppressed the subtle sense of speculation in his heart, and began to think over these few abilities.

Of course, before that, he had also saved this ability model.

In any case, his points were now so plentiful he could hardly use them all up.

First, based on some consideration in his heart, this time he would not evolve the LV5-level ability "Planet Tentacle" first.

It was only a part of an LV5-level ability — of course, this was his guess based on his current LV5 planet-level ability, and the specific division of LV5-level abilities was still unclear.

But just the description brought by the ability alone made him currently give up on evolving this ability, because his side of the world did not have any energy from other worlds.

So even if he evolved it, it probably wouldn't be usable.

In any case, if he truly needed it, evolving it later wouldn't be too late, or he could first experiment with other creatures?

As for the other four abilities, for now he felt that LV4 Energization (Transcendent) and Mo Li Shi Ying LV2 were somewhat useful.

The former was very likely the reason those Spirits had such extraordinarily long lifespans. Once it was as he guessed, then for a very long period of time to come he would be free from the restriction of lifespan, rather than his true lifespan being only a little over a thousand years.

Of course, even if it wasn't, the energization brought by this ability would probably let him thoroughly break free from various physical limitations.

At that time, physical damage to him might be reduced once again.

Moreover, according to the evolution patterns of his Ability Panel in the past, when various abilities evolved on his body, there would inevitably be various changes that differed due to the different host.

So, perhaps this energization was altered using his own energy Light Points, and at that time he might be able to solve in one step the difficult problem of his own body becoming Light Points!

At that time, he might no longer need to worry that after his entire body was composed of Light Point energy, it would cause his "Sovereign of Fungi" ability to be unable to produce Light Points.

If it could truly be solved, his strength would inevitably welcome another tremendous leap.

First of all, if the power of lightning was no longer restricted by flesh, then once it was fully unleashed, just how powerful would that force be?

Just thinking about it made the dragon look forward to it!

So this ability was one he had to evolve.

As for the latter, after finishing the trivial matters within the world and making some arrangements.

This ability would absolutely let him, after going to the world on the other side, personally experience just how powerful the other world's power system was.

After considering all matters, Baichuan directly exited the panel space.

He still needed to go rescue his Juanzhu now — this was not the best time to evolve.

As his strength grew, the fact that the panel required a certain period of slumber for each evolution was becoming somewhat troublesome for him.

With a helpless sigh, Baichuan once again prepared to leap up.

However, just at this moment, his gaze suddenly flickered, and he looked into the cliff.

"Come out."

After pondering for a moment, Baichuan gazed at that cliff and suddenly muttered to himself.

"Cough~ It seems I still can't hide it from Your Majesty."

Accompanied by a rustling of branches and leaves, a strange thing happened.

From the cliff the Flood Dragon was looking at, a tiny human figure slowly walked out.

This human figure, looking at this mighty true dragon as large as a mountain, also could not help but smile wryly.

"Oh~ You don't seem afraid I'll eat you?"

Looking at this otherworldly being who, despite eyes full of shock, showed not a trace of fear when gazing at him, Baichuan also rarely felt a spark of interest.

Yes, this human who seemed to have lived in this cliff for a long time? was also an existence from the world on the other side of the World Passage.

Because the aura on their body that so clashed with this world was, in the eyes of this Flood Dragon who had spread his energy across the planet, so clear and conspicuous.

Of course, the reason he had become interested was still because, on this otherworldly being's body, he did not sense even a trace of negative auras such as the resentful remnant Spirits clinging to those from the other side.

This point could barely be considered a Characteristic of this world after its energy level rose.

Any existence that had devoured the intelligent beings of this world would inevitably carry on their body a bit of resentful, unwilling remnant Spirits.

And the group of otherworldly Spirits he had previously seen near the World Passage — each and every one of them carried a black-red aura like a sea of blood, which came from the remnant Spirits of those who had died unwilling from being devoured.

But on this otherworldly being's body, he saw not a single trace.

This meant that since It had come to this world, It had never done any devouring.

An otherworldly being had actually come to this world without performing any devouring to replenish its own power — then what had It come here for?

He, Baichuan, was a little curious.

"Why should I be afraid? I haven't sensed even a trace of killing intent from Your Majesty, and I shouldn't have done anything out of line, right?"

Hearing this, this otherworldly being instead chuckled, shook their head, and replied frankly.

"Is~~ that so—?"

Whoosh—!

As the words fell, the Flood Dragon's pair of majestic dragon eyes suddenly glared, and the aura condensed from hunting and devouring countless beings was instantly released.

In an instant, killing intent swept through; the clouds in the sky stopped moving, and the great mountain fell completely silent.

For a moment, all beasts were still; every sound vanished at this instant, even the usual sound of falling leaves in the forest now disappeared without a trace.

As if everything in this whole world, whether spiritual or nonspiritual, feared the wrath of this great and lofty existence.

And at the very center of this killing intent, that existence from another world was also stunned; the right hand that had just been raised, seemingly preparing to salute, froze midair, and those previously bright, spirited, confident eyes became vacant and lifeless, as if scared out of their wits.

Looking closely, one could even see beads of cold sweat sliding down from his forehead.

"Hahaha, how about now?"

Seeing this, Baichuan let out a few bold, hearty laughs before withdrawing his aura and smiling as he spoke.

"Ha~ha~~~ M-My Lord truly knows how to jest…"

Feeling the killing intent vanish, the otherworldly being also gasped for breath in great heaving gulps, speaking in broken, helpless, and bitter fragments.

"I wasn't joking. So then, it's time to tell me your purpose, being from another world."

"Don't tell me you're completely unaware of that earlier commotion when the seal on the World Passage vanished?"

"While everyone else was rushing to that place one after another, you stayed here the whole time. From the look of things, could it be you can't bear to leave?"

After indulging his mischievous streak to his heart's content, Baichuan likewise composed himself and spoke solemnly.

Of course, if this being's answer failed to satisfy him, it would inevitably meet with his devastating strike.
