Chapter 1322 - 1322 Living Core

1322 Living Core

Angie Prairie stirred up trouble in front. That group of people focused their attention on her and did not discover that Chu Nan had already circled the bird-shaped mutated beast’s body.

The reason why it was a “body” and not a “corpse” was because although Chu Nan had already heavily injured it in the air and forced it to fall, its body was too huge and it would not die so easily in a short period of time.

Chu Nan carefully searched it, but he did not discover any special structure on the outer layer that could clearly show where its core was. He knew that it must be hidden in the depths of its huge body.

It was clearly unrealistic to dissect it in front of so many people, but it was not like Chu Nan had no choice. He slapped the back of the mutated beast and his Internal Breath surged in.

This mutated beast had a huge body and the meridians in its body were especially thick. Although the Internal Breath in Chu Nan’s palm did not undergo a high circulation enhancement, it was not weak. After pouring into the meridians in its body, it was like a stream pouring into a large river and did not cause much effect, but it still caused the natural rejection in its meridians.

A strange energy fluctuation arose in the mutated beast’s meridians and surged toward Chu Nan’s Internal Breath.

Chu Nan cleverly controlled his Internal Breath to dodge the direct impact and trace it up the river. He followed this strange energy fluctuation and flowed through the meridians of the mutated beast for a moment before finally tracing it to the source and finding the source of the strange energy fluctuation in its body.

Clearly, this should be its core.

If ferocious beasts or mutated beasts were compared to human martial artists, the core was equivalent to the dantian. These special energy fluctuations were equivalent to its Internal Breath.

Just like how martial artists who were powerful enough to reach the Heaven Control Realm would condense a star cloud in their dantian and have a more direct and easy control of the spatial energy of the outside world, when ferocious beasts and mutated beasts were powerful to a certain extent, they would also condense a special energy crystal in their cores. Like a star cloud, it made them different from other lower-level ferocious beasts and mutated beasts and also easier to control the spatial energy around them.

Be it the cores of ferocious beasts or mutated beasts that Chu Nan had obtained previously, he had dug them out from their bodies after they died. This was because their life force had been exhausted. As long as he stimulated the remaining energy in the core, it would lose its effect.

The current situation was different. This bird mutated beast’s body was too huge. Not only was it not so easy to die, but the especially strong meridians in its body were also enough to endure the invasion or even the impact of Chu Nan’s Internal Breath. Moreover, in order to resist the spread of his Internal Breath, it relied on its instincts to continuously urge its core and produce energy fluctuations to resist him.

This gave Chu Nan a very good opportunity to investigate the exact situation of its core.

Previously, after Chu Nan obtained the core to stimulate the energy, he would at most use a few minutes or at most ten minutes before the core energy was exhausted. Moreover, the effect was actually not good if he only relied on the energy automatically emitted by the dead core.

Now that there was a living mutated beast for him to investigate, not only would it last longer, but the effect would also be much better.

Bang… Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was unknown how Angie Prairie negotiated with that group of people. Now, several muffled sounds sounded. Angie Prairie had already fought with one of them.

Chu Nan glanced at it and discovered that Angie Prairie clearly did not use her full strength. Instead, she was fighting the other party and could not help but smile.

It was true that Angie Prairie had a straightforward personality and was even carefree, but this did not mean that she was stupid. After knowing Chu Nan’s goal, she cooperated quite well.

Seeing that Angie Prairie was fighting that person and seemed to be in danger, but in fact, she was at ease, Chu Nan was relieved and focused his attention on the mutated beast under him again.

Not only did he passively sense the energy fluctuations produced by the mutated beast’s core, but he also continuously adjusted his Internal Breath to stimulate the mutated beast and force it to react differently.

The result made Chu Nan very satisfied and even a little surprised.

From the moment this mutated beast appeared, Chu Nan noticed that it did not rely on its bird-like body to fly because in fact, with its overly huge body and weight, even a body like a bird would definitely not be able to fly. It could fly completely because of its precise control of the spatial energy around it. With the support of spatial energy, it could easily fly.

Now that it had been stimulated many times, Chu Nan had almost investigated the secret of all the energy fluctuations in the depths of its core.

After carefully calculating in his mind, Chu Nan mobilized a portion of the Internal Breath in his dantian and circulated the spatial energy in his body to enter his dantian at the same time and begin to condense another star cloud.

The complexity of this star cloud was far greater than the star cloud that Chu Nan had temporarily condensed when he tried previously. It was almost a replica of the energy structure in the core of the bird mutated beast under his feet.

As soon as the star cloud was produced, Chu Nan sensed that the especially sticky and dense spatial energy in the Endless Abyss space around him was beginning to be affected by this star cloud. It was guided into his body bit by bit and flowed into his dantian along his meridians. It circulated through the star cloud and was cleverly transformed into his Internal Breath.

Through this star cloud, Chu Nan’s body finally reached a cycle of interaction with the spatial energy of the outside world and became the same as outside the Endless Abyss.

However, after Chu Nan controlled the spatial energy to circulate for a few cycles, he frowned. The aura in his dantian surged and actually destroyed the newly condensed star cloud!

The destruction of the star cloud affected Chu Nan’s body and his body could not help but sway slightly. An abnormal blush flashed across his face and a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.

Not far away, Carola, who had been paying more than half of her attention to Chu Nan, blinked and focused her gaze.

Chu Nan opened his eyes and met Carola’s still-calm gaze. However, she clearly revealed a trace of concern. He smiled at her and shook his head to indicate that it was fine. His body circulated and he activated the Flame of Life cultivation method to completely heal this injury.

Then, he stood up and jumped off the back of the mutated beast to the side.

At this moment, Angie Prairie had already experienced a “hard battle” and “barely” defeated the first opponent. The second opponent had just stood in front of her and the two of them were about to attack when they suddenly saw Chu Nan jump down. They could not help but look over in surprise.

Doubt appeared in Angie Prairie’s eyes. Chu Nan nodded at her and did not speak. Instead, he stood in front of her.

“I’ll do this round.”

The second opponent glanced at Chu Nan and turned to look at his companion.

He was a representative sent by the group of people who wanted to make a deal with Chu Nan. The middle-aged man frowned slightly before nodding at the two of them amiably.

“Sure.”

The second opponent was shocked and turned to look at Chu Nan.

“Come.”

Chu Nan did not stand on ceremony. He took a step forward and slapped out. His palm transformed into palm shadows that filled the sky and enveloped that person.

That person’s eyes focused and his expression was serious. He took a step back and gestured.

In the next moment, Chu Nan slapped his arms that were blocking his chest.

Internal Breath erupted from Chu Nan’s palm. Coupled with the surging spatial energy around him, a huge force surged out. That person’s body immediately flew out and fell to the ground from afar. He spat out a mouthful of blood and could not get up.
