Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Page 380

The entire legion has nine Blood Gods. Through a process of natural selection, only the nine strongest individuals can serve as the nine Blood Gods.

So far, none of the nine Blood Gods are weak; they are all at least three-word Battle Armor Masters.

Xu Yuan was noticed as soon as he arrived.

"You must be Xu Yuan?" a clear, cold voice rang out.

Opposite Xu Yuan, a woman in her thirties walked out. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was very spirited, had a hot figure, ice-blue eyes, short silver hair, and spoke very decisively.

"Reporting, sir, I am Xu Yuan, a major at the research institute, in charge of the development of abyssal energy devouring technology."

Xu Yuan gave a military salute.

"We've already reviewed your application. You said you've made progress in your research on abyssal energy?"

The woman waved, signaling Xu Yuan to follow her inside.

"Don't be shy. It's fine outside, but now that you're here, you can relax a bit."

This is where the Blood Gods work.

Various military salutes are inherently cumbersome. For the nine Blood Gods, they must maintain military etiquette in the outside world, but in the Blood God Camp, they are quite relaxed with each other.

"By the way, I am Blood Eight."

"Xiao Ba, has Xu Yuan arrived?" a lazy voice rang out.

Xue Ba's face darkened as he looked in the direction the voice came from. It was a man who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old and had a lazy demeanor.

"Blood Seven, I'll repeat myself, my name is Blood Eight, don't call me Little Eight."

Xue Qi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, we're all family, don't take it so seriously."

"Hmph!" Xue Ba snorted coldly.

Besides Blood Eight and Blood Seven, there were three other people present.

One of the women, who looked to be around fifty years old, looked at Xue Qi helplessly and said, "I really want to see if you'll still be so cheeky when Xue Ba surpasses you one day."

Xue Qi chuckled, "Isn't this my motivation to cultivate diligently? Third Sister, if that day ever comes, you must protect me."

Xue San shook his head helplessly, his gaze falling on Xu Yuan.

"Xu Yuan, we know your information. Don't be shy. This is not like the military camp outside."

"Greetings, sirs." Xu Yuan was still quite proper.

Blood Three smiled and said, "I told you not to be nervous. I am Blood Three, and here are Blood Five, Blood Six, and Blood Seven and Blood Eight."

Blood Five and Blood Six are both male. Blood Five is tall and burly with dark skin, standing there like a black iron tower, majestic as a mountain. Blood Six, on the other hand, is short and has an ordinary appearance, looking harmless, as if he doesn't exist, with a sly smile on his face.

"Xu Yuan, in your application report you said you've made new progress in your research on abyssal energy, and you need our approval to decide on further research and work?"

Blood Three gets straight to the point.

"Yes, I have visited the Abyss Passage many times during this period and have roughly figured out a new way to utilize the energy of the Abyss."

"Oh?" Blood Three, Blood Five, Blood Six, Blood Seven, and Blood Eight all looked at Xu Yuan with curiosity.

Xu Yuan felt no pressure despite being watched by so many people.

He took out the soul-guided weapon he had used in the abyss passage.

"This is my improved soul-guided weapon, and inside are my spoils of war."

"Oh?"

Trophies?

The only way to fight the abyss is to fight back, and then the Blood God Ring records the abyssal creatures killed, thus awarding merits.

Where can I find the loot?

The Blood God Legion almost never had any spoils of war, because the enemy's corpses were all converted into energy and returned to the abyss.

Xue San curiously took the soul-guided weapon from Xu Yuan's hand; it was a soul-guided shield.

Appearance is not important.

The important thing is to take the Soul Guide Shield and use Soul Power to activate the magic array inside the shield. Xue San's spiritual power also sensed the special structure inside the magic array. Immediately, with a thought, he integrated his spiritual power into it and sensed the area inside the shield used to store energy.

Sensing the rich stellar power within the shield, Xue San raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, the other Blood Gods were all itching to try it themselves.

What catches your eyes?

Let's take a look.

Especially Xue Qi, who eagerly asked, "Third Sister, what's so special about this soul-guided weapon? What does 'trophy' mean?"

Xue San took a deep breath, ignoring Xue Qi, and looked at Xu Yuan, asking, "Are you saying this was transformed after absorbing the energy of the abyss?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "Devouring abyssal energy is indeed a step, but the stellar power here is not converted from abyssal energy; it is merely refined from abyssal energy."

"Oh?" Xue San looked eager to hear more.

"The principle is simple: devour the energy of the abyss, and take advantage of the fact that this energy will inevitably flow back to the abyss. On their way back to the abyss, use their power to draw the power of the stars into the storage area, and through certain steps, let them wear down the energy of the abyss, making the obtained power of the stars easier to absorb."

Xu Yuan briefly explained his ideas for improving the soul-guided weapon.

"Wait, you mean devouring abyssal energy?"

"Oh, that's not quite the right word. The most accurate way to put it is to isolate a portion of the abyssal energy and use the power that returns from that energy to power the magic array within the soul-guided weapon, to achieve other purposes, like generating electricity with water?"

Just like water flows downwards, blocking part of the water flow allows the accumulated water to impact the generator, thus generating electricity.

"I think I have some basic understanding." After thinking for a long time, Xue San slowly nodded.

She looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "Is this just an idea? Achieving this must be quite difficult, right? If you want to continue this research, what kind of support do you need from us?"

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"It's not just about ideas; I've already achieved some results and made initial progress. Although the technology is still immature and imperfect, and its utilization efficiency is not high, it is actually enough to make a profit. That's why I need to come here to report."

Upon hearing Xu Yuan's words, Xue Qi was no longer in a lazy mood.

He immediately perked up, stared at Xu Yuan, and said, "You just said that you used abyssal energy to exchange for easily absorbed stellar power?"

Xu Yuan nodded.

“That’s right. The Abyss has invaded us. We are helpless against their energy. We can’t devour it or keep it. So we can’t just let it go. Since the Abyss wants to take it back, it should also pay us a corresponding amount of power, such as other powers, like the power of stars.”

"How did you achieve the easily absorbed power of the stars that you mentioned?" Xue Qi asked.

Xu Yuan truthfully explained, "The collision between abyssal energy and the most primal stellar power will wear down the violent elements within. Eventually, the origin of those energies will return, but the abyssal energy will still be consumed. It's like a Soul Master whose Soul Power level hasn't changed, but whose Soul Power has still been used and is no longer at its peak. It needs to absorb external power to recover."

"And I once again utilized this recovery process to make the whole process more efficient and obtain more star power."

They acquired more stellar power, and then used abyssal energy to deplete it.

In this way, the cycle repeats itself, forming a closed loop.

The five Blood Gods stared at Xu Yuan.

So, is this making the Abyss dimension work for us?

"This is the result of my trip to the Abyss with the finished soul-guided weapon."

Xu Yuan pointed to the soul-guided shield he had just handed over.

Xue Qi rushed to Xue San's side, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Third Sister, can I feel it?"

Blood Three frowned, but did not refuse, and handed the shield to Blood Seven.

Blood Seven's soul power merged into the magic array of the soul tool, and then his spiritual power also connected to that space.

"Sigh~"

This stellar power is already quite gentle, although it is not as gentle as the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Even the scorching fire-attribute primordial energy deep within a volcano is easier to absorb than this stellar power, but it has the advantage of being stellar power.

The quality of the Star Power is extremely high, making it a superior energy among all the energies on Douluo Star.

The power source of all planes in the universe is the stellar power emitted by the stars.

As for where the power of the stars comes from, that's beyond the scope of research for the Soul Masters of Douluo Star.

However, without a doubt, apart from higher-level energies such as life force derived from normal vital energy, the power of stars is definitely a higher level than all the basic energies on Douluo Star.

This also means that absorbing the power of the stars will bring even more benefits.

Ordinary Soul Masters, that is, those below level 30, find it extremely difficult to absorb the power of the stars. In fact, the violence within the power of the stars may even cause damage to their meridians.

However, Soul Masters of the Soul Venerable and Soul Sect, and even Soul Kings and above, can basically attempt to refine the power of stars for cultivation.

However, this method is very inefficient because the efficiency of refining star power is low, and the original star power that has not been filtered by the Douluo plane is very difficult to obtain, so it is difficult to create this model.

“It’s impossible to draw in star power that hasn’t been filtered by Douluo Star so easily. Inside the plane, this kind of primordial power would be naturally digested and decomposed. You…” Xue Qi took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

Xu Yuan shrugged and said, "It's probably because of the Abyss Passage. Although the Abyss is a complete plane and our Douluo Star is also a complete plane, the plane passage doesn't strictly belong to either of us. This is a passage that connects us to the Abyss. And because this passage is constructed with the power of the Abyss, the laws of the Abyss dominate within the passage and can suppress us."

In fact, Xu Yuan knew very well that the key to achieving this was the dream space.

The dream space exists between reality and illusion, and the existence of the abyss passage makes it easier for Xu Yuan's dream space to directly touch the boundary of the plane, almost directly contacting the primordial stellar power outside.
