Chapter 788: Chapter 409: 2.2 Billion Metal Energy

He felt something strange, at least Levinbeck was of the Divine Craftsman Level and skilled in Life Technology,

but the final reaction was completely worthy of being called "fear".

However, the more scared Levinbeck was, the better it was for him.

Best if he’s too scared to move...

The humanoid Blood Seed stood in the center, face full of confusion and puzzlement, not understanding what had just happened.

Li Ming waved, and the Blood Seed turned back into an egg, then he collected it into his Control Space.

Let the Mechanical Body gather Levinbeck’s remaining body, Li Ming turned away from this mine cave.

Levinbeck fled in fear, the metal materials were almost in place, he should be leaving too.

Taking the Flying Device back, he bid farewell to Old Yang, the old man was reluctant but didn’t say much, just told him to be safe.

As for Yang Peng and Li Ning, Li Ming simply sent them a casual message and then boarded Flowing Shadow, heading towards the Yitelan Civilization.

Meanwhile, the massive temple of flesh and blood was steadily settled on a piece of "land", the temple’s surface covered with armor-like black scales, rhythmically moving, breathing in a patterned manner.

With every "breath", a faint bloody mist seeped from the gaps between the scales, dispersing into the surrounding air.

Blood-red and pulsating like living hearts continuously jumped around the temple.

Chains as thick as arteries deeply penetrated into the "ground" below the temple.

The surrounding Starfield flowed by, always seeming in a state of navigation, if the view is slightly pulled back, one would be amazed to find.

This eerie temple of flesh and blood was perched on the body of a gigantic Star Beast, like a moving landmass, its skin rough like mountains.

Mysterious energy luminescence flowed between the textures, and the flesh temple on its back appeared as an insignificant spot.

In the temple, the crimson throne of flesh seemed alive, countless tiny flesh buds clung to the Life Form sitting upon it.

Slowly interwoven, fused, the lower body was already completely merged with the throne, veins and nerve pathways intertwined, indistinguishable from the throne’s veins or the body’s blood vessels, presenting a chilling symbiotic state.

The tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, a strong life aura surged out overwhelmingly, causing the throne to wriggle even faster.

"Azure Dragon!"

Levinbeck let out a terrifying shout, his hoarse voice echoed in the empty hall, then turned into a low murmur: "Forging Hammer..."

Even until now, he still couldn’t calm down, the scene of the Blood Seed transforming into human shape flashed in front of his eyes repeatedly.

It had been a long time since he felt this kind of bone-deep panic and unease, looking at the familiar surroundings, he gradually calmed down.

"Blood Seed transformation, Azure Dragon knew my identity long ago and gave me quite a surprise." Levinbeck’s face looked unpleasant, sinking into deep thought:

"However, since he already saw through my identity, why did he let Li Ming play along with me? Is he trying to find out where my True Body is?"

The thought surged, Levinbeck felt a chill again, Azure Dragon was almost equivalent to Forging Hammer in his mind.

Only his teacher, who had once come into contact with Alchemy Technology, could have such familiar abilities, mastering it in a few months could perform this kind of transformation.

The horror of the Blood Seed becoming humanoid was even less than discovering this "truth".

If his teacher, like him, pretended to be dead for years, he couldn’t believe to what extent the other’s skills would be.

That towering figure was the shadow in his heart, hard to erase, a complex mix of years of teaching and admiration.

Levinbeck forced himself to calm down again: "No, I’m using Alchemy Spiritual Power resonance to control the carrier, transmitting through the Universe, not in the manner of signal wave frequency, the True Body is almost constantly moving, I don’t believe he can find me."

Having hidden for years, his mental state naturally had no issue.

But at the thought that the other might be Forging Hammer, his teacher, he couldn’t keep calm.

"He’s delaying..." Levinbeck realized this, "Why? What does he want to do?"

Reflecting without evidence almost yields no useful answers, he furrowed his brow, attempting to replay, "If he doesn’t delay me, what would happen?"

"I discover Ryan’s people being attacked and would notify him immediately, given Ryan’s temperament, he might storm straight to the Northern Crown Star Ring to investigate this matter closely."

"The blood sacrifice matter would also come to a halt." Levinbeck gradually saw the patterns, "Does he want to gather enough evidence to indict Ryan?"

Levinbeck was not certain, the only certainty was that Azure Dragon delayed him to prevent Ryan from finding out too early about these circumstances.

"Since you don’t want him to know, I must ensure he knows right away." Levinbeck’s eyes flickered with a cold light,

"However, this inevitably requires revealing everything to Ryan, but he probably already realizes my identity complexity."

With a subtle thought, a pillar rose in front of the throne of flesh, projecting a virtual screen, he intended to log into the Alchemy Baron’s account, but stopped.

"No, if I tell him directly, his actions might go out of control, Azure Dragon is nowhere to be found, impulsivity is inadvisable, besides my experiments need to continue..." Levinbeck pondered.

The upper body connected to the throne extruded a meatball, quickly absorbing floating Energy Particles, evolving into a Life Form.
