Chapter 608: Getting Stronger Simultaneously

The safe shone with golden light.

It should be made of some really durable super alloy.

Golden Tooth’s emblem was carved in the middle of it.

The emblem was surrounded by circles of complex runic symbols, which signified a defensive formation that could counterattack, alert, or destroy whatever was inside if an external force tried to breach the safe.

There was no keypad to input any password on the safe. There was also no keyhole or dial or any other device.

Even the most brilliant thief might scratch their head in puzzlement when faced with such a theft-proof safe and not know where to begin.

A’Ji calmly placed his index finger on his canine tooth and bit down gently. He then squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the Golden Tooth emblem at the center of the safe.

Something miraculous happened.

When his blood spread over the sunken patterns in the Golden Tooth emblem to the hundreds of runic symbols around it, the safe let out a series of clicks that sounded like they came from sophisticated machinery, and the Golden Tooth emblem suddenly flipped over to reveal a camera.

A’Ji positioned his enchanting silver eye close to it.

He blinked in a rhythmic manner that reminded of a Morse code.

Machine sounds came from within the safe again.

Soon, the safe that was half a meter thick opened to the sides and revealed the cold storage inside.

The storage area was about the same size as that of a home refrigerator, and there were seven gene medicines inside. All of them had automatic injectors.

All seven gene medicines shone with a blue light, and the intensity of each was brighter than the last.

The first gene medicine shone like a clear sky, and the final one was like an ice crystal that had been sealed shut for ten thousand years.

These gene medicines contained great spirit energy. They were even more powerful than Meng Chao’s Red Radiance Jade marrow.

The moment A’ji opened the safe, seven wisps of spirit energy gushed out of the gene medicines and gathered in the area storage to form a blue cloud, which made all the other treasures in the storage outside look dull in comparison.

A’Ji squinted and sucked in a deep breath. He looked intoxicated.

He grinned and grabbed the gene medicine with the lightest color and the thinnest spirit energy. Then, he injected it into his arm.

Shick!

The entire vial of blue liquid went into his body in three seconds.

“Hiss!”

A’Ji’s eyes flew open. The capillaries around his pupils instantly turned blue.

Thousands of blue spirit tattoos broke out of his eye sockets and spread to his forehead, temples, and body.

The spirit energy contained in the blue medicine was so domineering that it surpassed all the supreme-grade gene medicine found in the market.

Even the enigmatic silver-eyed boy was nearly unable to tolerate it, despite the fact that he had just injected the vial with the lowest density and gentlest among all of them. Pain flared in him, and he felt as if he was about to explode and die.

He knew that this was the most dangerous moment for him.

The slightest carelessness would cause him to enter spirit energy deviation, and he would end up burning to death.

He quickly sat down with his palms facing upward and activated his vitality magnetic field without bothering about anything else so that the monstrous rampaging spirit energy would circulate in his limbs and spirit meridians.

He had no idea about the passage of time in that state.

White smoke came out of A’Ji’s body and filled the entire storage, then refused to dissipate.

In the white fog, the terrifying wound on A’Ji’s wrist healed. The blue medicine in his veins was also absorbed fully into his cells and digested.

His originally thin body became much stronger. Now, he looked like a tiger cub that might still be young, but already possessed a strong body.

A’Ji jumped up, and his silver eye became even more radiant.

He casually threw a punch. It tore through the air and created a shrill whistle.

“Thank goodness,” he mumbled. “With the first medicine as the foundation, I just need to do the same thing and inject as well as absorb the remaining six medicines, then everything will be done!”

He did not hesitate and brought out the second lightest blue vial to inject into his stomach.

His expression was grave, and all of his attention was on beginning his second round of cultivation.

And because A’Ji was completely immersed in his cultivation, he did not notice that the Vortex’s shattered pieces were trembling in a bizarre rhythm in the medical room at the end of the secret lab.

A small spirit energy magnetic field seemed to be sealed in each piece, and countless spirit energy magnetic fields resonated with each other. In time, they shattered the burnt shell that was sealed in ice.

Adhesive liquid that was even smaller than the tip of a needle flowed out of each shattered piece.

It was first burnt by Meng Chao before being heavily injured by A’Ji, so the adhesive liquid could not retain its crystalline form.

It became as thick as ink and smelled as foul as venom. Its edges were blurry, and countless small tentacles spread out from each drop, making it look like a magnified bacteria.

Numerous bacteria twitched, struggled, and squirmed. They gradually gathered together and became a black blob.

Even though the Vortex had lost quite a lot of its mass when it was burned by flames and frozen by liquid nitrogen,, due to the change in color and the innumerable number of tentacles that were dancing on its surface, it looked even more monstrous and evil than before.

It sniffed the scent left by the silver-eyed boy and used all its strength to slide toward the storage room.

When it crawled past the cage detaining the Broken Claw Dragon, it suddenly stopped.

The Broken Claw Dragon had tried to break the metal bars again and was electrocuted. It was curled up on the floor with bared teeth. Hot steam rose from its torn and burnt flesh.

It was in great pain, but it remembered how terrifying the Vortex had looked when it opened its mouth wide.

It could not figure out just what this mysterious creature was, but it could sense its dangerous presence.

So, the Broken Claw Dragon did not intend to crash into the metal bars with its body a third time.

Instead, it retreated further into the cage.

The Vortex turned itself into something as long and thin as an earthworm and easily climbed into the cage through the gaps between the bars.

The Broken Claw Dragon was a highly territorial Hell Beast.

It was finally unable to control itself and its brutal nature and extended three blade-like claws to slap the black adhesive liquid.

Splat!

Its claws immediately sunk into the black liquid, as if it had torn the Vortex into shreds.

But before the Broken Claw Dragon could be happy, the black liquid surged into its body and head through its claws and front limb.

The Broken Claw Dragon was so terrified that it jumped around and rubbed against the wall with all its might to get rid of the black liquid.

But the resilience and suction of the black liquid was really strong. When the liquid on the front limb was rubbed off, it would just bounce on the back limbs and tail and crawl into its body through other wounds.

Unfortunately, the Broken Claw Dragon’s limbs were not agile enough. Even though it could easily tear apart a large monster that weighed dozens of tons, it could not yank the black liquid that had crawled into its body out even if there was a small part of the liquid sticking out of the wound.

Very soon, the black liquid tainted most of its body like a plague.

The Broken Claw Dragon fell on the floor again and let out pained wails.

The final blob of black liquid charged in at that moment. It crawled into its throat through its gaping mouth.

The Broken Claw Dragon growled.

Slowly, a semi-transparent, black shell appeared above its eyeballs.

It remained still, as if it were dead.

Its stomach continued swelling up, and thick, black blood vessels bulged out. The evil power was transferred into each corner of this killing machine through the organs.

No one knew how much time had passed when the Broken Claw Dragon suddenly stood up.

Its black eyes were filled with brutality and cunning.

Its mouth was filled with fangs, but now, due to it splitting straight to the ear, it looked like it could open at a 180 degree angle, making it look even more terrifying than before.

Its wounds had not completely recovered yet. In fact, due to the deformed swelling, its flesh had ripped open, creating new wounds. Yet all of them were covered in a layer of greasy, semi-transparent, black membrane. The bald spaces were covered by black spikes.

Whoosh!

It raised its tail. The osteoma at the end split up and turned into another huge, gaping mouth with black liquid flowing in it. Spikes that were even sharper than fangs gently rubbed against the claws that were like black sabers. Dark sparks flew.

Bang!

Suddenly, the monster used all of its strength to crash against the metal bars a third time.

This time, its speed and strength were at least three times greater than in the past.

The metal bars were as thick as human thighs, but when the Broken Claw Dragon crashed into them, they buzzed and bent.

Blinding electrical arcs immediately shot out from the runic symbols carved into the metal bars. They sliced toward the Broken Claw Dragon’s head.

Just when the electrical arcs were about to electrocute the Broken Claw Dragon and make it go up in smoke, a large amount of black liquid suddenly gushed out of its head and solidified into a perfect arc-shaped shell. It was like an insulator, and most of the electrical arcs slid away.

Only a small portion of electricity remained, and the Broken Claw Dragon could withstand it with its powerful body.

Bang!

The Broken Claw Dragon launched its fourth attack.

It crashed into the same spot four consecutive times. Even though it was not enough to make the metal bars snap, it was still enough to make two of the bars bend outward, revealing a gap that was slightly bigger than the diameter of the Broken Claw Dragon’s head.

The Broken Claw Dragon did its best to squeeze out.

The metal bars continued releasing electricity.

The original Broken Claw Dragon’s sharp scales and spikes would have definitely gotten stuck between the two bars, and it would have been electrocuted badly.

But now, a large amount of black liquid was secreted from its sides.

Some of the liquid gathered together to form a sturdy, smooth, and insulated armor, while the other acted as a lubricant to help it squeeze its way out!

Rattle, rattle, rattle!

Decked in black armor, the Broken Claw Dragon opened its mouth up to its ear and released a chilling cackle that sounded like a human’s.

Then, it bared its teeth and pounced toward the material storage where A’Ji was cultivating!
