Chapter 148

"A fifth-rank lord repelled a hundred seventh-rank lords."

"Could the disaster that occurred centuries ago be about to unfold again?"

"The Alliance seems to fear this very thing, which is why they insist on launching a campaign against the Cursed."

"Unexpectedly, the very thing we feared has finally come to pass."

"Lu Cang is truly this formidable."

"Is only a Saint-rank lord capable of subduing Lu Cang?"

"No… I doubt it."

"I believe Lu Cang can only achieve such combat strength within a specific territory."

"I suspect the array that trapped those hundred lords is an ancient Saint-rank killing array."

"Otherwise, how could it withstand strikes from Dark Spears?"

"That makes sense."

"According to my analysis, Lu Cang sensed a threat and struck first."

"He set an ambush to give us a warning—to show us he's not to be trifled with."

"This way, all major lords across the world will fear him and dare not provoke him lightly."

"Meanwhile, the Saint-rank lords are currently unable to spare any attention, indirectly granting him Xideji Society."

"I believe that if we do not launch a campaign against Lu Cang now, we will fall right into his trap."

"Lu Cang's bluff is precisely the outcome he desires."

At this moment, Lu Cang had already returned to his lair.

Blood and flesh share the same origin, ignoring distance, arriving instantly—far more monstrous than the speed of flesh tubes.

Lu Cang arranged the corpses meticulously.

He glanced at the chat channel and community comments regarding his actions and evaluations.

Yet inside, he found it somewhat amusing.

Guess all you want.

No matter how hard you guess, you'll never realize I possess a Supreme-level territory.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, a full day had passed since Lu Cang ascended to fifth-rank territory.

A notification popped up before Lu Cang.

【Blood Flesh Workshop】 construction completed.

Lu Cang's Blood Flesh Workshop was also completed.

Blood Flesh Workshop.

Also known as Blood Flesh Laboratory.

It is a requirement for ascending to sixth-rank territory.

Lu Cang now possessed billions of blood flesh.

Lu Cang continuously created ten Flesh Mountains.

One of the Flesh Mountains slowly moved across the Mysterious Steel Mountain.

Rapidly assimilating the Mysterious Steel Mountain into blood flesh.

The assimilation speed of 【Flesh Mountain】 is far more terrifying than that of 【Flesh Worm】.

Wherever the Flesh Mountain crushes, the land quickly transforms into blood flesh.

The conversion rate when the Flesh Mountain crushes Mysterious Steel is absurdly fast.

It gave Lu Cang a sense of never lacking resources.

【Blood Flesh Workshop has entered standby mode】

【You may assign intelligent beings to reside in the Blood Flesh Workshop】

"Perfect—those goblins finally have a use."

Lu Cang assigned the goblins to reside within the Blood Flesh Workshop.

Meanwhile, Lu Cang himself entered the Blood Flesh Workshop to observe this structure, which required one full day and night to build.

Compared to those blood flesh structures.

The Blood Flesh Workshop seemed almost not like a structure born from the Root Blood Flesh Nest.

From the outside, it resembled a massive blood flesh nest.

Blood flesh enveloped it.

But inside, it contained orderly, meticulously arranged research facilities.

And most of them were spotless white.

A stark contrast to the chaotic, wild growth of ordinary blood flesh.

【Chemistry Laboratory】【Biology Laboratory】【Blood Flesh Laboratory】【Gene Laboratory】

【Life Laboratory】【Construction Laboratory】【Light Energy Laboratory】【Alchemy Laboratory】

【Soul Laboratory】【Potion Laboratory】【Elemental Laboratory】…

Within the 【Blood Flesh Workshop】, different laboratories formed according to specialized zones.

The sheer variety of these laboratories was dizzying.

Far more than just the ones listed.

Looking at the number of these laboratories, Lu Cang himself found it utterly absurd.

Generally speaking, ordinary lords seem to have only three to four types of research, right?

For instance, magic-type territories.

They are merely 【Elemental Laboratories】, 【Flame Magic Laboratories】, or laboratories for other types of magic.

His own 【Flesh Workshop】.

The types of laboratories number over a hundred.

And at the door of this 【Flesh Workshop】,

several large characters were carved into the white walls with blood.

【Truth is the ladder of evolution; perfect evolution never confines itself to a single form.】

"It really does sound like something."

"Perfect evolution..."

"Indeed, monotony can never be called perfect."

"If one is confined to a single form, one only stagnates."

It is flesh and blood, yet it feels quite grand and high-end.

After entering the 【Flesh Workshop】,

Lu Cang also unlocked a brand-new list.

【Nest Evolution Tree】

Upon it, countless dim evolution paths lay.

At the same time, countless evolution directions marked with question marks appeared.

Lu Cang tapped on a question mark.

But the prompt that popped up was:

【???】

【Unlock requires Biological Research — Level: 3】

"Research is still needed."

However, that is only to be expected.

In fact, for Lords beyond the fifth tier, laboratories require research to develop various new abilities.

"What I should develop now..."

"... should lean toward mental abilities."

Lu Cang felt a certain worry regarding mental aspects.

That Life Forbidden Zone, who knows what it intends to do.

Moreover, the threat from the other side should also come from the mental realm.

A cognitive distortion capable of covering the entire world.
