Han Ning’s doubts were quickly answered.
Next, Bai Yu introduced the concepts of the so-called Ultimate Origin Realm and the mysterious genes in detail.
Mysterious genes were obtained from mysterious type dimensional beasts.
This type of dimensional beast was different from other dimensional beasts. They were born with extraordinary abilities and were powerful. They were born at the level of Origin, and once they reached adulthood, powerful individuals could even directly enter the Primal stage.
As for other lifeforms, in order to evolve, they had to devour origin power and fuse with genes like humans.
Moreover, dimensional beasts with the mysterious attribute all had one characteristic and that was they had a mysterious halo on their bodies, making them very easy to identify.
After the human body fused with the mysterious genes, it would also give birth to a halo. At the same time, they would absorb the mysterious energy within, allowing them to possess extraordinary power!
This power was related to the mysterious genes that were fused.
Han Ning was confused with all this information.
He was unable to come into contact with that level now and did not understand what Bai Yu meant.
Seeing that Han Ning still did not understand, Bai Yu changed his way of describing it.
“Let’s put it this way. Every lifeform, including humans, is a separate genetic treasure trove. This treasure trove contains power beyond our current understanding!”
“The four genes—strength, speed, spirit, and vitality—are like components that form the door of the treasury. The last mysterious gene is the key that opens the door.
“When you devour enough origin power and fuse the first four genes, your body will have the foundation to withstand the explosive force of the origin power, and the last mysterious gene will be able to link the first four powers and show you the mystery of origin power!”
“At that time, the gene lock will open, and the ultimate power of life will appear. Only then will you have the chance to enter the next level!”
Bai Yu told Han Ning everything he knew.
Now, Han Ning not only understood the mysterious genes, but also the specific connection between genes and life evolution.
Simply put, lifeforms had potential, and origin power was the energy needed to stimulate this potential.
The five genes were the keys to stimulating this potential.
The mysterious genes within were more like a kind of interconnected medium. Through extraordinary power, the different genes were linked together, giving life forms the means to burst forth with their origin power, obtaining extraordinary power and advancing to the next realm.
In other words, the reason the six experts were able to unleash an earth-shattering attack was because they had unlocked the mysteries of origin power and grasped extraordinary power!
After all, these six people were experts at the Primal stage and had already completed two life transformations.
After understanding the Ultimate Origin Halo, Han Ning continued to look at the battlefield in the distance.
At this time, the battle had reached its climax.
Within a few minutes of their conversation, the battle between the humans and the swarm of Longevity Worms gradually became chaotic and bloody!
In the beginning, the surrounding combatants could still launch organized attacks and defense.
But those Longevity Worms would not follow the rules.
They were essentially wild beasts, and their level was only at the Origin level. They did not have enough logical intelligence.
Therefore, even under the siege of humans, these huge worms still maintained their fighting style of charging straight forward, crushing everything with their bodies, piercing humans with mouthparts, or letting out piercing screams.
The attacks were chaotic, but they successfully broke the human soldiers’ formation.
Although the Sun and Qin families had dispatched quite a number of high-level combatants this time, none of these people had taken part in the battle.
Even though the tiny Longevity Worms were Origin lifeforms, their individual combat ability was only comparable to that of Normal-Ultimate Strength Realm combatants.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for the surrounding experts to waste their strength.
Their mission was to guard against stronger beasts other than the Longevity Worm King.
However, this also led to the large-scale defeat of the ordinary soldiers against the swarm of Longevity Worms.
After all, while dimensional beasts were wild, humans were rational.
Coupled with the fact that the soldiers under the financial groups did not have much faith to begin with, they were more likely to lose their will to fight as they were only working hard to earn money.
In the battle below, humans gradually fell into a disadvantage, and in the battle of high-end combat power, the five experts firmly suppressed the Longevity Worm King.
Although they had lost a companion due to their carelessness in the beginning, under Qin Weiyang’s command, these experts were able to fight five against one without much pressure.
However, as a vitality type dimensional beast, the Longevity Worm King was very difficult to kill.
Even after enduring a large number of attacks from the five experts, the Longevity Worm King was only riddled with wounds and was still far from death.
“F*ck, this bastard is so hard to kill!”
Among the five of them, one of the Qin family’s experts immediately retreated after a single strike. When he saw that the Longevity Worm King didn’t feel any pain or itch from his attack, he couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Qin Weiyang held a curved blade in his hand which was covered in the Longevity Worm King’s pale white blood. At this time, he also said seriously, “We have to end this quickly. If this continues, the people below will be defeated.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the battle not far away.
Over there, the casualty rate of the ordinary soldiers was close to one-third.
In a war, if the casualty rate of a unit exceeded thirty percent, this unit would most likely be defeated.
At this rate, those soldiers were on the verge of defeat!
Of course, the Longevity Worms suffered even greater losses, but they were not afraid of death!
After quickly assessing the situation, Qin Weiyang said coldly, “Let’s find an opportunity. We’ll work together and launch another origin power attack. This time, we must obtain a decisive victory!”
“Alright!”
The other four nodded solemnly.
Although those soldiers had low statuses, they were still part of the family’s strength. If they lost too much, their hearts would ache.
However, just as the five of them were looking for an opportunity to attack together again, the cave in front of them suddenly vibrated at a high speed!
This vibration was very light, but the frequency was very fast.
The experts at the Primal stage were very sensitive to all movements and instantly sensed the abnormality.
The moment the tremors appeared, Qin Weiyang and company were slightly stunned.
The Longevity Worms had already come out in full force, what other existences were there in the cave?
At the next moment, their expressions changed drastically!
At the entrance of the cave that had collapsed from the struggle of the Longevity Worm King, waves of sparkling blue ‘tide’ surged out!
After exiting the cave, the ‘tide’ converged into a river-like stream and rapidly rushed towards the fierce battle!
“Not good, it’s a Divine Blood Ant colony!”
Qin Weiyang was shocked!
The blue ‘tide’ was not a natural phenomenon, but tens of thousands of Divine Blood Ants!
The other four were also shocked!
Before coming here, the higher-ups of the two families had personally instructed them that apart from the Longevity Worms and Broken Unicorns, there might also be a large number of Divine Blood Ants hidden in the caverns.
After all, the combined team had once discovered the abandoned nest of the Divine Blood Ant.
But they never imagined that the Divine Blood Ant colony would swarm out in full force at this time!
