Chapter 2885 Power Bestowed by the Bloodline!
If the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake were already so powerful, how powerful would it be if it transformed into the Nirvana Sky Snake? The Nirvana Sky Snake was indeed one of the three top snake bloodlines in the entire Sky Beyond the Clouds!
In the world that Lin Yuan had lived in during his previous life, many powerful lifeforms once existed, yet they ultimately faded away as part of natural changes and became forgotten in history.
The lifeforms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds would also undoubtedly be affected by natural changes, but their rise and fall would mostly depend on the circumstances they encountered during their growth process.
Take the Snow-Covered Foxes as an example. Although they were powerful in the beginning, they did not have much influence. The Snow-Covered Foxes that lived in the snow mountain in the North Universe for 100,000,000 years were semi-isolated from the world. The reason they were able to gain fame across the four universes was that they had actively nurtured other foxes as their own subordinates. It was this decision that helped them rise in influence.
Lin Yuan had heard Winter mention that the Nirvana Sky Snakes were a species that instinctively wanted to control other snakes due to their bloodline. Within their own kind, they also harbored the goal of controlling each other.
They were somewhat similar to the Sky Radish Endless Vines. It was very difficult for the Nirvana Sky Snakes to help each other due to their inherent wariness. Regardless of how powerful they were, they would definitely face a lot of trouble during their reproduction process. Lin Yuan believed that this should be the real cause behind the decline and eventual destruction of the Nirvana Sky Snakes.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake, which only possessed a trace of the Nirvana Sky Snake bloodline, had a much stronger soul energy than other snake-species feys. Through Snake Eyes, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake could choose to contract or sacrifice other snake-species feys as long as its soul power could suppress the latter.
If the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake chose to contract other snake-species feys, the latter would be subjected to its control, turning them into puppets to be manipulated at will.
On the other hand, if it chose to sacrifice other snake-species feys, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake could permanently strengthen its own physique by using the targets' flesh and blood, thereby gaining a portion of the energy accumulated by the targets through long-term reproduction.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's Normal ability, Snake Eyes, allowed it to enhance its physique almost without an upper limit. Moreover, it could also increase its grade at an extremely fast speed by sacrificing other snake-species feys. Even if Lin Yuan had not known that it possessed the Nirvana Sky Snake's bloodline, he would still have considered contracting it just with Snake Eyes.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake was an elegant contractor. Its main combat method was to train the snake-species feys contracted through Snake Eyes. This made it akin to those spirit qi professionals whose primary focus was on increasing their defense.
Its Elite ability, Snake Coiling Defense, just so happened to strengthen the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's defense. Through this ability, it would greatly increase its defense by coiling its body and making its body become one.
While this kind of defensive ability might appear a little cumbersome, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake used Snake Eyes to sacrifice other snake-species feys and used their flesh and blood to strengthen its physique.
Therefore, when the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake used Snake Coiling Defense to defend, even if other lifeforms of the same grade were stronger, they would pose no threat to it. Even if the ability was executed clumsily, as long as it achieved the desired outcome, then it could be considered an excellent ability.
As the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake was not an elite fey, Lin Yuan could not choose its Bronze exclusive skill. While it was not ideal for nurturing a Bronze fey, it was the best way to choose a fey. This ready-made exclusive skill could directly represent the value of a fey. Six Flowers Curse had enhanced its grade.
Six Flowers Curse was a curse ability. The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake could control many snake-species feys, and most of them were adept at using poison. The snake-species feys controlled by Snake Eyes would all have connections to the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake.
When these snake-species feys attacked their targets, every time they injected poison into the target's body, the target would be infected by the venom. Because of the curse effect of the Six Flowers Curse, a snake flower would grow from the target's wound.
Targets will not be affected until five snake flowers grow. However, once there were six snake flowers on the target's body, the target's bloodline would undergo a huge mutation, and it would become a snake-shaped monster.
These snake-shaped monsters were collectively known as sub-snakes. Sub-snakes could be controlled and contracted by the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake through its Snake Eyes ability. As long as the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake possessed sufficient strength, everything in the world could be contracted or sacrificed. It was truly a terrifying creature!
Although the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake was extremely fierce to Lin Yuan, it immediately became obedient when Lin Yuan used Morbius' exclusive skill, Spirit Lock, to control it.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake was a Wood-type/Soul-type fey. Compared to wood-type Willpower Runes, soul-type Willpower Runes were more compatible with it.
Lin Yuan had comprehended a few Willpower Runes during his ten or so years of seclusion. Given Lin Yuan's comprehension ability, it would be unusual if he had not comprehended a few Willpower Runes in more than 10 years.
Coincidentally, there were Willpower runes that matched the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake. This was also one of the reasons Lin Yuan chose to spirit-lock it.
Lin Yuan pointed his finger forward, and a Willpower Rune filled with a sense of entanglement appeared on his fingertip, emanating a strong sense of control.
Despite both being soul-type Willpower Runes, the one Lin Yuan had given Rememberling back then was worlds apart from the one he had given the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake.
Under Lin Yuan's guidance, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake fused with the Willpower Rune that was full of control. After the fusion, its body remained unchanged. It was still a splendid blend of green and blue hues. However, the hues of blue and green had changed, making it very easy for the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake to hide in the natural environment like a kaleidoscope.
The long and slender six flowers in the snake's eyes became much more noticeable. The originally motionless six flowers slowly spun in the snake's eyes, creating a hypnotic effect.
Lin Yuan used Morbius' True Data to check on the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake again. He saw that the exclusive skill it had obtained after evolving to Fantasy Breed was called Control Strengthening.
[Control Strengthening]: When contracting a snake-species fey, the contract will be bound to the target's soul. Once bound to the target's soul, if the contract is shaken by external influences, the contract will spontaneously sacrifice the target to prevent it from breaking free from its control.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's strongest ability was to control other snake-species feys through contracts. The appearance of Control Strengthening had completely enhanced its control ability.
Even when influenced by the soul-type abilities of the outside world, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake would only lose the puppet rather than allow it to lose control and become a sharp sword targeting itself.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's ability was very similar to the Medusa Snake Demon, Wendy. However, due to its Six Flowers Curse, it was slightly stronger than Wendy.
Lin Yuan had given Rising Lizard, White Pavilion, and the other Apostles the right to choose. Rising Lizard, White Pavilion, White Speak, and the other Apostles that Lin Yuan valued had basically chosen to stay in the main world, but Wendy did not make the same choice.
Wendy chose to follow him to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, so Lin Yuan left Wendy with the Moon Empress. The Moon Empress had been nurturing Wendy. The toxins produced by the snake-species feys under Wendy's control were very helpful for the Moon Empress' research.
In order to nurture Wendy, Lin Yuan had collected a large number of outstanding snake-species feys. These snake-species feys had not been used because Wendy's strength had increased too quickly.
Now, these snake-species feys could be handed over to the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake to contract. Lin Yuan released these snake-species feys below Gold, which were immediately brought under Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake's control.
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake could easily control these snake-species feys below Gold because of the Nirvana Sky Snake bloodline's soul strength. Furthermore, there were also connections with its evolution to Fantasy Breed.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to nurture the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake, he suddenly realized that it had displayed its cruel side. Among the nearly 800 snake-species feys, it only showed favor to a dozen of them. It was annoyed by the remaining hundreds of snake-species feys at first, but then its mood began to change toward food.
Immediately afterward, hundreds of snake-species feys were sacrificed by the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake. Then, their grade and physique increased at an extremely fast speed.
Lin Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, but he quickly relaxed them. As the controller, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake had the right to screen the snake-species feys it contracted.
As opposed to absorbing pure spirit qi to evolve its grade and quality, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake found greater pleasure in evolving itself through the sacrifice of snake-species feys. This method also yielded more noticeable improvements.
After all, solely relying on spirit qi proved difficult for the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake to enhance its physical attributes in the same way as sacrificing other snake-species feys. Since he had chosen it, he had to respect the way it evolved.
However, Lin Yuan did not intend to let the Six-Flowed Jade Blood Snake sacrifice those innocent snake-species feys. Instead, he planned to let it use Six Flowers Curse to transform those evil star pirates and sacrifice them.
Given Treasure City's current situation, it was extremely easy to obtain star pirates. In less than two days, Lin Yuan had evolved the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake to Diamond X/Fantasy V.
[Fey Name]: Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake
[Fey Species]: Snake Pupils/Illusion Snake
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Wood/Soul
[Fey Quality]: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Snake Eyes]: Controls other snake-species feys through its eyes. When its soul energy is sufficient to suppress other snake-species feys, it can induce them to contract or sacrifice it (Contract allows control over the snake-type lifeforms. As long as the targeted snake-type lifeforms' spiritual power does not exceed its own, it will not escape its control. When sacrificing the targeted snake-type lifeforms, it can obtain energy from their bodies and use their flesh to strengthen its own physical fitness).
[Snake Coiling Defense]: Coils its body together, allowing the entire snake body to become one. When attacked, it can shrink its body and increase its defense to the greatest extent.
[Wood Forging Armor]: When the pure wood-elemental energy is combined with the snake-species fey's bloodline, it forms armor that interweaves with the bloodline on the surface of the body. Not only can it resist physical attacks, but it also has a certain resistance to elemental damage.
[Life-Prolonging Shedding]: Under the circumstances of using the Snake Coiling Defense, if the target pierces through the defense and poses a threat to its life, it instinctively undergoes a snake shedding to avoid fatal damage. Each snake shedding weakens the body and diminishes a certain amount of soul strength.
[Swift Snake Shadow]: Increases the snake-species feys under its control, allowing them to react and attack more quickly.
[Violent Venom Burst]: Activates the snake venom in the target's body, causing the slow-acting snake venom to instantly activate its poison effect and cause timely damage to the target. The poison damage to the target will be converted into healing energy to heal the army of snakes.
Exclusive Skill:
[Six Flowers Curse]: Through the Six Flowers Curse in the eye, whenever the target's body is invaded by poison related to the target, a snake flower will grow from the wound. When the number of snake flowers reaches six, the target's bloodline will be forcefully changed, turning the target into a sub-snake.
[Control Strengthening]: When contracting a snake-species fey, the contract will be bound to the target's soul. Once bound to the target's soul, if the contract is shaken by external influences, the contract will spontaneously sacrifice the target to prevent it from breaking free from its control.
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with his new spirit-locked fey. The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake could be considered a functional fey or a power offense-type fey. Of course, the function of the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake was not achieved by itself but rather through controlling other snake-species feys and using them.
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "After the cat garden, I'm probably going to build another snake garden in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to nurture the snake-species feys controlled by the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake."
The Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake could be considered a huge consumption of resources. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for feys that required a lot of resources to become too powerful in the natural environment. However, the Six-Flowered Jade Blood Snake relied on its powerful strength and ability to control other snake-species feys.
Even in a situation where resources were very scarce, they would still possess the strength to obtain a large number of resources.
