Chapter 1319 - 652: Escape from the Ruins
As the apocalypse flood progressed to the present, superpowers have developed and expanded.
Liang Yuan had long ceased to be the naive young man he once was.
He also had his own understanding of superpowers.
What are called superpowers are, in fact, the activation of stronger genes within the body, allowing humans to simulate powerful mutant beasts, thereby acquiring the abilities of mutant beasts.
Whether it’s the Merfolk, or other transformation-type superpowers, from the bottom-level genes, they are considered mutant beast genes.
It’s just that these mutant beast genes are under the control of human Spirit, allowing for mastery over the changes.
Those who fail at awakening are controlled by these genes and reduced to monsters.
The Merfolk hatched from these giant eggs in front of him should be genuine Merfolk creatures!
Liang Yuan couldn’t fathom no matter what where these Merfolk creatures actually come from.
"Could it be that within mutant fish, there’s a mutant beast with awakened Merfolk genes that evolved step by step? And then began directly breeding a race of Merfolk?"
Liang Yuan furrowed his brows and immediately placed his gaze on the sarcophagus on the altar.
The sarcophagus looked quite ancient, and being placed here must have its reason.
"What’s in this sarcophagus? Could it be related to these Merfolk eggs?"
Liang Yuan became interested, and his Spiritual Power expanded rapidly to investigate the sarcophagus.
But as his Spiritual Power touched the sarcophagus, he suddenly felt a strong resistance arise.
This sarcophagus could actually resist the intrusion of his Spiritual Power!
This discovery immediately raised Liang Yuan’s eyebrows.
He pondered for a moment and then quietly swam towards the sarcophagus.
Before long, he was above the sarcophagus; with no one around, he reached out and pushed the sarcophagus lid forcefully.
Buzz!
Instantly, the lid was pushed open by Liang Yuan with a buzzing and trembling sound.
Glug glug——
Bubbles surged, agitating out from inside the sarcophagus.
Liang Yuan looked down and his pupils contracted instantly!
The interior of the sarcophagus held a giant corpse!
Inside the massive sarcophagus, the corpse was equally gigantic, extending over ten meters, likely twelve or thirteen meters by estimation.
The upper body resembled a human skull, but the rib cage differed completely from humans, with bones being dense and more numerous.
And curiously, its lower half wasn’t legs, but fish tail-shaped bones!
Images of Zhang Peng transforming flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind.
"Is this a Fishman?"
Liang Yuan was astonished in his heart.
When was the Fishman corpse inside this sarcophagus from?
The Stone Age?
Liang Yuan scanned the interior of the sarcophagus with his gaze and suddenly noticed there were many Runes inscribed inside.
But over time, the Runes within the sarcophagus had become somewhat dim and corroded.
This sight made Liang Yuan even more amazed.
Even the stone has eroded and worn away with time, yet the corpse remains uncorroded?
He instinctively reached out to touch the corpse’s bones to examine its material.
However, at that moment, a terrifying thought suddenly rushed in.
Liang Yuan was startled.
"Audacious!"
The thought contained a terrifying roar, an emotional expression Liang Yuan could comprehend.
Without saying a word, Liang Yuan grabbed the corpse and instantly escaped into the shadows.
But the terrifying consciousness directly pierced through the shadows, immediately locking onto Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan was shocked: "He can see me!"
Without hesitation, Liang Yuan flickered and escaped into the Sumeru Space.
Rumble!
Then, outside the tomb chamber, a gigantic mermaid suddenly charged in.
The mermaid had a human body and fish tail, full of white hair.
It was a mermaid resembling an old woman!
The old woman rushed into the hall, instantly casting her gaze towards the area where Liang Yuan disappeared.
She quickly recited strange words, and the area suddenly glowed with rainbow-colored lights.
Immediately, the shadows completely dispersed.
But she couldn’t find Liang Yuan; her brows furrowed deeply.
Reflecting on something, she immediately swam swiftly towards the sarcophagus.
She looked down into the sarcophagus, her face changing drastically!
"Ah——"
A scream burst from her mouth, resonating rapidly in all directions!
This commotion instantly attracted many Merfolk from outside.
These Merfolk swarmed rapidly into the stone hall, shouting something indistinctly.
The mermaid old woman immediately turned her head, shouting at these Merfolk, then pointed outside.
The Merfolk showed anger, immediately turned, and rushed out.
The mermaid old woman reached out, taking out many Superpower Stones, then swiftly placed them inside the sarcophagus.
As soon as these Superpower Stones were installed, the entire sarcophagus suddenly shook swiftly.
Dust fell, the Runes inside the sarcophagus quickly emitted a strong light, enveloping all directions.
And as the sarcophagus lit up, the entire altar seemed to activate as well.
The stone surface of the altar cracked open, revealing metallic veins inside.
Beams of light burst from the cracks, the Runes trembled, and the entire ancient tomb quivered.
At this moment, Liang Yuan had already teleported to the dungeon area.
Without a word, he waved his hand, teleporting everyone inside the dungeon into the Sumeru Space.
Then he turned to teleport and leave.
Bang!
As Liang Yuan moved to teleport away from the dungeon area.
He found the space ahead solid as a copper wall.
The Spatial Barrier he should have opened could not be moved at all now!
Liang Yuan was shocked: "What method is this? Even the Spatial Barrier has been reinforced?"
At this moment, sounds of water currents surging violently were heard from outside.
Liang Yuan made a quick decision, flashed his figure, and swiftly darted into the shadows, rapidly swimming toward the outside of the tomb chamber.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
As Liang Yuan quickly left, because he was in the shadows, he didn’t stir up any dark currents.
Causing the pursuing Merfolk to be completely unaware of Liang Yuan’s presence.
Before long, Liang Yuan had already returned to the museum ruins.
However, at this moment in the museum, all runes trembled and emitted a glow.
Moreover, a layer of barrier unexpectedly enveloped the ruins above!
Liang Yuan walked directly over, revealed his figure, and punched the barrier.
Boom!
That barrier remained completely unmoved!
And this commotion immediately alarmed the searching Merfolk everywhere.
A large number of Merfolk quickly rushed over.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan frowned slightly and immediately activated the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Genetic Species, transforming into a giant white snake.
A scale on his brow emitted a strange light.
Spirit resonance stimulated.
Waves of resonance frequencies lit up, frantically bombarding the barrier, looking for the frequency of this barrier.
Before long, Liang Yuan had already found the resonance frequency, and the next moment, a hole quickly melted out of the barrier ahead.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan did not hesitate and directly swam out from the hole!
He moved rapidly, in the blink of an eye covering a hundred meters, already escaping from this area.
"Ah—"
A roaring scream came from behind, it was the voice of an old woman.
Not an ordinary voice, but some kind of super high-frequency sound wave!
Directly drilling into Liang Yuan’s brain to attack him.
Liang Yuan frowned slightly, instantly released his Spiritual Power, transforming it into a Spirit Turtle Shield to cover his entire body.
Instantly, all supersonic frequency attacks were blocked outside.
The entire Spirit Turtle Shield trembled along with it, obviously the enemy’s supersonic wave attack was extremely strong.
As Liang Yuan swiftly left, getting farther and farther away from the ruins.
That supersonic wave finally dissipated.
Liang Yuan looked back toward the ruins.
Yet he saw the ruins above, enveloped in light, that layer of barrier covered, obscuring the internal site.
One after another, the figures of Merfolk constantly rushed out, quickly pursuing him.
Liang Yuan did not tangle with these Merfolk, and in a flash, disappeared at the lake bottom.
When he reappeared, he was already back at the water surface.
Soaring into the air, Liang Yuan’s figure rushed into the sky, looking down toward the snowy field below.
Rumble!
The snowfield vibrated, numerous ice blocks shattered.
And saw those Merfolk crashing through the ice, angrily roaring in the water.
Some even held fish forks, aiming them at the void to launch.
Liang Yuan snorted coldly, pressing down fiercely with one hand.
Instantly, a wave of cold air pressed down, covering the heavens and earth.
The Power of Frost surged, and immediately the water surface below froze again.
Many Merfolk were instantly frozen stiff, sealed by ice blocks!
Liang Yuan did not look more, flashed his figure, and soared away.
After completely distancing himself from this area, he then stopped.
Then, with a wave, the Sumeru Space unfolded, and he directly stepped into it.
Inside the Sumeru Space, Zhang Peng, Gu Jianye and others were lying on the ground.
At this moment, Gu Jianye was still unconscious, while the others had already woken up.
Seeing Liang Yuan, Zhang Peng immediately called out excitedly.
They all had something blocking their mouths, unable to speak, and their hands and feet were tied.
Liang Yuan stepped forward to help Zhang Peng remove the things in his mouth, and the ropes on his body, asking: "Zhang Peng, what happened? How did you end up there?"
"What’s the deal with those Merfolk?"
Zhang Peng’s eyes were slightly red, excitedly saying: "Mr. Liang, I never thought I’d have the chance to see you again!"
"I almost thought I’d be doomed by those monsters this time."
Liang Yuan was surprised, asking: "You are also a Merfolk Superpower User, why do you speak of those Merfolk that way?"
Zhang Peng shook his head, excitedly said: "They are not Superpower Users, they are not even human, they are real Merfolk!"
"Mr. Liang, I saw with my own eyes how they captured people in the dungeon, brutally tortured, even killed them."
"They don’t understand human language at all, they have their own language."
Liang Yuan’s heart moved slightly, indeed almost the same as he speculated.
Liang Yuan immediately asked: "How much do you know about these Merfolk?"
Zhang Peng said: "I don’t know much, I was just caught by them."
"Earlier at the Dark Abyss Mouth, we were suddenly deprived of sight, hearing and many other senses, I immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately broke the ice surface, fleeing underwater."
"Because I lost vision and hearing, I simply followed the dark currents to escape quickly."
"But unexpectedly, I was suddenly caught by a group of Merfolk, when I regained vision and hearing, I was already in a dungeon."
"By the way, Mr. Liang, they were also caught by that group of Merfolk, they seem to know more than I do."
Zhang Peng immediately pointed to several people beside him.
Liang Yuan looked at those people, yet saw their expressions extremely excited looking at him, as if wanting to say something, calling out repeatedly.
Liang Yuan felt strange, immediately removing the things in their mouths.
One person shouted excitedly: "Mr. Liang! Is it really you? Mr. Liang!"
Another person also excitedly said: "Is it Mr. Liang from Yangshan? Do you remember me? I am Ye Nan."
Liang Yuan was taken aback, for a moment couldn’t recall where he met these people.
"Who are you?"
The young man named Ye Nan excitedly said: "Mr. Liang, we are from Spirit Jade Island."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately showed a surprised expression.
People from Spirit Jade Island!
Spirit Jade Island missing for so long, he had sent people to search for Spirit Jade Island for a long time without any news.
Unexpectedly encountered them here!
