Chapter 780 - 780 408 Breakthrough of Southern Dipper Fist Method

Chapter 780: 408 Breakthrough of Southern Dipper Fist Method (4000)_1 Chapter 780: 408 Breakthrough of Southern Dipper Fist Method (4000)_1 Inside the Experimental Field, everyone was silent, obviously captivated by the grand yet grim scenario before them. An immense feeling of desolation, epicness, and insignificance spontaneously arose. It was the first time they had all witnessed such a scene.

They had conducted experiments on this black mud-like land before, yet they had never probed this deep, almost reaching the source. Not to mention the ordinary test subjects, even Flame and Candle Soul were immensely shocked. Their realm and strength were unquestionable, but as they peered into this endless darkness through a mirror surface, they saw two entities seemingly standing in opposition since antiquity. An irresistible sensation of fear and dread still inevitably arose.

Hum…Hum…Hum…

The field of view from the stone tablet froze onto this area, hanging in mid-air.

Below, two immense forces were colliding, the totem and the scarlet mutually engulfing each other in a frenzy. A large column of white vapors rose high into the sky where both forces collided.

A second later, the conversion stone tablet came into play, as though it had transformed into the vortex passage the size of a fist. Inside, a sizable quantity of pure, black mud gushed down, instantly transforming into a stream that enveloped the Tramp.

“Aaaaaaaaaah…”

Immediately, a piercing scream echoed through the entire conversion pool. It was similar to the struggling of a live pig being submerged in boiling water prior to being slaughtered. In the pool of dark amber-colored liquid, ripples of thick, scarlet-red blood began to flow.

Impurities such as skin, flesh, and bones could be seen within it.

This transformation lasted for three long minutes.

Finally, the stone tablet stopped releasing black mud, its pupil-like engraving was restored to its usual state. The stone tablet started spinning and flew towards the edge of the pool.

An experiment subject stepped forward, intending to retrieve it. Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingertips made contact, a series of pitch-black patterns like tattoo lines started spreading upward along his fingers and palm, parasitically bypassing his elbow.

“Fall back!”

A shadowy figure clad in a black robe flashed behind the subject. It reached out with both hands, their surface layered with fierce, red light, as though they were burning.

‘Splurt! Splurt!’

The hand knife slashed down, swift as the wind, directly cutting through the subject’s shoulder. Blood splattered as the two severed arms, holding the stone tablet, dropped onto the ground with a thud. The subject screamed painfully, feeling unbearable pain and promptly fainted. He was promptly carried away and given basic treatment. Fortunately, the instantaneous high temperature had stopped the bleeding at the severed arms.

There was no excessive loss of blood.

Flame stood still, the red hue in his hands gradually fading. Candle Soul walked over, casting a solemn gaze upon the floor below. The two limbs of the subject were densely covered with black patterns, appearing like a vibrant, venomous python slithering around his limbs.

This was a sign of the Dark Biological Transformation…

It seemed that the disaster consumed in this experiment was refined and high-grade. Even the leftover part could cause a transformation in normal humans. Flame and Candle Soul were delighted as, based on previous experiments, the more refined and high grade the disaster, the more reason and personality one would retain after their Dark Biological Transformation. This also meant that the more memories and personal characteristics they could retain after the transformation.

Suddenly, a red Qi emerged from Flame’s hand, completely covering his skin. He bent down to pick up the stone tablet, and a strand of dark energy collided with the Qi, annihilating each other until the whole stone tablet was wholly restored to its normal state.

“Don’t touch those two severed arms. Keep at least three meters distance. I will handle them later,” said Candle Soul to the other experimental subjects.

‘Huu…’

In the center of the conversion pool, on the iron bed, the dark energy gradually dissipated.

Flame and Candle Soul exchanged glances, their gaze all looking towards the same direction.

The Tramp still maintained his human form, showing no signs of transformation. It was as if everything that happened was just an illusion. However, a moment later, black lines appeared all over the Tramp’s skin, twisting and turning into runes the size of a fingernail. Numerous such runes accumulated, forming a totem enveloping his whole body.

It was a gargoyle, grotesque with gigantic wings and sharp claws.

An indescribable sense of bloodlust and ferociousness emanated from the totem.

“A parasitic Dark Creature? Or should I say, symbiotic?”

Flame’s eyes brightened, immediately sensing what made this experiment different from the previous ones. For many years, they had conducted experiments on parasitic Dark Creatures, but most were failures. Whether humans transformed into a parasitic Dark Creature, or were parasitized by one, it was all riskier than transforming into any other type of Dark Creatures.

And the probability of retaining reasoning and personality was even lower.

However, the current situation differed slightly from that of a parasitic Dark Creature.

‘Whoosh.’

The Tramp, lying on the iron bed, suddenly opened his eyes, immediately looking around. Surprisingly, he felt a surge of potent strength emanating from his body.

“Ah!”

The Tramp roared. A gargoyle forcefully grew out of his flesh and blood and lunged at Flame and Candle Soul who were not far away.

Ten minutes later, inside a solitary room.

Flame concluded the test, glancing at the Tramp lying on the ground.

He pushed the door open and walked out, leaving Candle Soul waiting outside.

“What is the situation?”

“It’s indeed not parasitic but symbiotic in nature. This man is both a Dark Creature and not a Dark Creature. His life rotation and the Dark Creature are interconnected. However, his mental cognition is independent,” After pausing, Flame continued, “Sadly, the entire process was not perfect. The experiment subject was still affected. Part of his memory was lost, his character transformed, and his rationale had decreased. Of course, compared to the previous experiments from the past few years, this was the closest we’ve got to success.”
