Chapter 170: The Second Consciousness
"Crimson ......!"
The serpent, submerged in a sea of blood, hissed in anger and fear.
It doesn't seem to have much wisdom, but those two words seem to awaken the memories that are buried in its instincts.
Make it repeat.
Bang!
The huge snake body rolled violently in the sea of blood, the momentum was huge, like a thunderbolt, and the waves of blood 100 meters high were set off, washing on those submerged divine court buildings, stirring up a brilliant divine light.
Airplanes!
A majestic golden sacred mountain descended abruptly over the sea of blood.
The sky reverberated with melodious and solemn chants, surrounded by holy and pure angels with wings on their backs.
Feathers shrouded in brilliance fall in the air, making people feel like a spring breeze, and the warm sun seems to shine all around.
The arrival of the sacred mountain suddenly caused the sea of blood to suddenly rise and fall, and on the magnificent and magnificent buildings, the blooming brilliance and the sacred mountain complemented each other, and the golden light that rippled like water waves actually enveloped the entire sea of blood!
However, the crimson royal hall supported by the Heavenly Blood Pillar was always high.
It's like a throne that never falls.
Overlooking
A sea of blood.
This scene cannot be seen by Cheng Shen, who is in the process of evolution.
The red light enveloped him, as if he was isolated from another world.
Whether it was the blood wave raised by the giant serpent or the advent of that golden divine mountain, it could not affect him.
Of course.
His small figure, compared to this undulating endless sea, is also as inconspicuous as Shashuo.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
The sound of a huge heartbeat echoed in Cheng Shen's chest, like a volcano that was brewing thunder and was about to erupt.
The hot blood flowed through his body, making him hot and red, like a boiled prawn, and the blue-black veins floated under his body, and were covered with fine snake scales, and so on.
Cheng Shen only felt that the muscles all over his body seemed to be active, like a big snake wriggling under his skin.
And in the process,
The blood in his body goes through the cycle of old and new again and again.
Each time, the old blood that had been replaced would clot into a blood cocoon next to his heart.
And this blood cocoon is getting bigger and darker in color.
Until the ninth.
The entire blood cocoon had condensed to the size of a fist, and its entire body was dark, but the surface was densely covered with dense crimson patterns like spider webs.
It's like a beautifully carved piece of art.
It was juxtaposed with the heart, extending out a series of bifurcated and dense branches, linking every vein in Cheng Shen's body, like a second heart, constantly pumping scarlet and dazzling blood outward.
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
……
Cheng Shen's chest once again made a loud heartbeat.
But it was twice connected.
The blood cocoon slowly contracted and expanded, as if mimicking the workings of the heart.
And it functions the same way as the heart.
"Two hearts?"
Cheng Shen was at a loss and had a trace of doubt.
This is the change that comes with the Possessed Warrior after they advance to perfection?
Although he is already relatively proficient in the use of the professional ability of the spirit warrior, he has very little knowledge of the profession itself.
But.
He was vaguely aware.
The main core ability of the Spirited Warrior is actually only in the bright red form.
As for the soul form, it is more like an incidental skill that is comprehended after mastering the bright red form......
After all.
The scarlet form is the fusion of its own physical powers.
But among them, only the three basic attributes of physique, strength, and agility are included.
And the spirit that has been stripped out has formed a soul form?
And because of this.
The soul form is extremely flawed compared to the bright red form, although it can concentrate on increasing its own spiritual strength.
But it's fragile.
Shatter at the touch of a button.
There are also many life-saving means in the bright red form.
Of course, Cheng Shen was more inclined to say that the potential of the soul form was not weaker than that of the bright red form.
It's just that for some reason it's not fully exploited.
Come to think of it......
I'm afraid that no Crimson inheritor will gain such a cheating-level talent as energy control.
Will use the soul form as a powerful means of combat.
Cheng Shen's thoughts gradually drifted a little.
Then he came back to his senses.
The main source of power in the Scarlet Form is his heart, and now having one more means that he will be able to exert twice as much power.
This is naturally a good thing.
Can be fast.
Cheng Shen noticed a trace of abnormality.
In the blood cocoon like a finely carved work of art, there was a wisp of spiritual fluctuations.
Clarity.
Stable.
There was no clear thinking conveyed in that mental fluctuation, only ignorance and novelty.
It's like a baby who has just opened his eyes and looked at the whole world.
Cheng Shen felt a chill.
Just came once.
And here it is again?!
And this consciousness still comes from Crimson's own inheritance!
He didn't sense malice in that mental turmoil, but he had the experience of the serpent trying to encroach on his body.
How could he not be vigilant?
Then.
Cheng Shen also found.
The consciousness condensed in his body by the original giant snake was not completely wiped out, but was deeply hidden.
If it weren't for the spiritual power that was unintentionally emanating from the blood cocoon, it would have touched it.
I'm afraid he won't be able to notice it yet.
Allowing a monster who is suspected to be a god and full of malice towards him to remain in his body, this kind of thing makes Cheng Shen feel terrified when he thinks about it!
"Whatever you are...... It's all gone! ”
Cheng Shen felt a chill in his heart.
Suddenly.
He was going to mobilize his spiritual consciousness and crush those two consciousnesses.
Although, one of these two consciousnesses comes from the crimson and the other comes from the giant snake, they are both extremely weak at the moment.
But when Cheng Shen wanted to directly crush the consciousness in the blood cocoon.
He suddenly felt a strong palpitation.
The throbbing comes from itself.
It seems that the obsolete consciousness in the blood cocoon will bring him great harm, and this harm will directly affect his evolutionary process......
"Is this really the key to breaking through perfection......
Cheng Shen's thoughts were slightly dull.
He thought of the spirit-possessed warrior who had appeared in front of him in the first place.
It is one body and two souls.
Therefore, it was able to exert the ability of both the bright red form and the soul form without mastering the secret skills such as the Demon Soul Thousand Bodies.
Now it seems.
That's where the secret comes from.
Breaking through the Perfection Realm, a second consciousness would be condensed in his body!
Although, the new consciousness condensed in the blood cocoon is not necessarily harmful to him, it can be said that it is one and the same.
It is a state of being that is more intimate than that of a conjoined baby.
But what Cheng Shen couldn't tolerate was that this wisp of consciousness was completely independent of his control.
Who can endure another autonomous mind living in their own body?
But.
Wear out this thought.
This means that he will no longer be able to embark on the path of the Crimson Inheritance.
That's the price?
Is this also the price?
Cheng Shen always believed that all the gifts he received from the system had a corresponding price, but this price had not yet come to pay.
And now.
He finally has to face one of the costs and make a choice.
It is to move on and get used to the change of one twin life.
Or do you stop there and find another way to get stronger?
"What if...... I don't choose either?! ”
The idea struck me.
Cheng Shen's consciousness sank into the blood-red body again, and he could feel that the consciousness in the blood cocoon was condensing and growing, and maybe it would eventually be born like a baby and share the authority of the body with him.
This wisp of consciousness is not only completely independent, but also controls the power of the other heart.
That's the equivalent of having half of his body in control.
If.
Later, the two had differences of opinion.
Cheng Shen will even have a "split action" situation in the battle!
He didn't hesitate any longer.
Immediately, he mobilized the wisp of knowledge that he had fused into his body at the beginning, and came into contact with the blood cocoon.
Since, he could not prevent the birth of consciousness in the blood cocoon.
Why not take full control of it!
This kind of method, if it weren't for mastering the Demon Soul Thousand Bodies, Cheng Shen would not have imagined it.
But since he already has the experience of excessive control, he is naturally familiar with it.
Moment.
The wisp of consciousness that melted into the blood cocoon disappeared, and he lost contact with Cheng Shen.
He suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his consciousness.
It was as if the soul had been cut apart.
In fact.
The effect of the devouring of knowledge on him is equivalent to the damage to the soul.
Cheng Shen didn't care about the tearing feeling, and quietly experienced the changes in the blood cocoon.
The consciousness grew stronger as it swallowed up his discernment.
Can be subtle.
It also made Cheng Shen feel a familiar fluctuation exuding from it.
Effective!
Cheng Shen's spirits were greatly lifted, and he immediately separated another division and melted towards the blood cocoon.
But at this moment.
The consciousness of the giant snake hidden inside his body, which he had ignored, suddenly burst out, and it condensed into a small gray snake, and its scarlet and shiny eyes revealed chaos, as if it had been lured out by the power of discernment.
It opens its mouth.
I swallowed that wisp of knowledge in one bite!
"Shhh...... Do you want it too? ”
Cheng Shen twitched in pain, gasped, and his tone was inexplicable.
"Okay, good, all for you!"
He said generously.
Forthwith.
Cheng Shen directly separated more than a dozen distinctions from his consciousness, and dispersed towards the two like a gossamer.
This is an extremely risky act.
Whether it is the blood cocoon or the consciousness of the giant snake, it is a manifestation of spiritual energy.
It's like Cheng Shen can grow his spirit by using soul crystals.
The consciousness that he separates can also have the effect of nourishing and strengthening them.
Accelerate their growth.
Once they grow enough to compete with his main consciousness, the best case scenario is that three consciousnesses will coexist in his body at the same time!
This is a hundred times more critical than the original situation of the twins.
After all, one of these is a giant snake whose consciousness is suspected to be a god, and it is likely to be eaten by the other party and become the carrier of the giant snake's resurrection.
He does.
Naturally, there is a certain dependence.
The Thousand Bodies of Demon Souls is a skill in itself to control and distinguish.
And those that were devoured by the blood cocoons and the giant snake were not quickly digested by them.
Even if Cheng Shen wants to absorb an unfamiliar spiritual body, he must first purify the resentment and consciousness residue in it!
And they are meat and vegetarian are not in a hurry, and those who come do not refuse to devour them directly!
This leads to:
Cheng Shen's separated consciousness will always have some residue in their bodies.
It was precisely because he sensed the remaining mental fluctuations in the blood cocoon.
will make this choice!
Of course.
There is still a risk.
Cheng Shen wanted to ensure that the mental fluctuations remaining in their bodies were strong enough to be stronger than their own consciousness, and this required him to constantly feed the blood cocoons and giant snakes in order to leave enough residual consciousness in their bodies.
If.
They are self-conscious at the moment.
It was possible to hide after devouring his knowledge.
Digest quietly.
In that way, Cheng Shen's feeding knowledge was completely lost, and it also became the spiritual food for the other party.
But thankfully.
The first birth of a blood cocoon.
Serpent chaos.
Neither has yet given birth to a clear consciousness of self-discernment.
So.
All are welcome.
Cheng Shen's originally huge consciousness quickly shrank by a whole circle.
The number of senses that the first-level demon soul thousand bodies could separate was a hundred, and he directly fed half of the blood cocoon and the giant snake.
The consciousness in the blood cocoon is so vigorous that it is almost about to be born.
The little gray snake also rose to the thickness of his little finger, as if a thick tendon was coiled inside him.
"It's time to harvest ......"
Cheng Shen thought weakly.
Being devoured and divided in succession, this blow was like tearing his soul apart and splitting it in half.
That kind of pain.
It can well be imagined.
The good thing is that it's all worth it.
Cheng Shen could feel that the spiritual fluctuations left in his blood cocoon and giant snake's body had become two bombs that could be detonated at any time.
"Boom!"
He simulated the sound of a bomb roaring in his mouth.
Of course.
Neither the Bloodcoon nor the Snake exploded.
But the consciousness in their bodies was crushed and crushed by Cheng Shen's residual spirit in an instant, and they took the initiative!
Suddenly.
The two wonderful spiritual links fed back into the depths of Cheng Shen's consciousness.
The blood cocoon was still beating regularly with the heart, and it was slowly rhythmic, and the gray snake was honestly lying in front of Cheng Shen.
"It worked."
Cheng Shen couldn't stop the joy on his face.
If he wanted to, he could always merge the blood cocoon and the little snake's consciousness into one.
Restore strength.
It will even be stronger than its previous peak state.
And this also means that the only drawback of the spirit warrior breaking through the perfect level has been completely eliminated by him.
Then.
On the surface of Cheng Shen's body, pieces of metallic snake scales have been completely shaped and no longer appear frequently, and his muscles that seem to have given birth to strange activities have also begun to contract, condensing into rock-like tendons.
Zheng!
As his arms swung, his scales and armor rubbed against each other, making a clanging sound of gold and iron.
For a moment, Cheng Shen thought that he had evolved into an iron man!
"It's a special ability obtained by absorbing the life crystal nucleus."
Cheng Shen was stunned.
Then I remembered.
The evolution of the Spirited Warrior will not have such an effect, and the scales that cover the surface of the body are all additional effects from the Life Crystal Nucleus.
He hadn't had time to take a closer look.
Suddenly.
There was a soft ringing in my ears.
Click!
On the surface of the blood cocoon, the dark shell covered with intricate patterns, suddenly burst into a fine crack.
The rift quickly spread to both ends, and in the blink of an eye, the blood cocoon was split in half.
Click!
A louder sound came out.
It was a red, illusory slender tentacle that stretched out from the inside of the blood cocoon like a ribbon of light, breaking through the shattered outer walls.
"How could it be ......?"
Cheng Shen couldn't help frowning, seeing the figure behind the tentacles breaking out of his shell, his expression became inexplicably serious.
"How could such an ugly thing be born......
