Abyss Sequence-Chapter 498 - 73: Experiment

Yan Luo quickly captured a few demons, ranging from harmless level to city-breaking level, capturing one of each level.

It is not only during the magic tide that demons can enter and exit the Abyss entrance; otherwise, humans would not need to build defensive facilities around the Abyss entrance.

Besides inspecting the Hunters and their prey, the daily work of the Abyss entrance checkpoint includes eliminating demons that escape from the Abyss entrance. However, high-level demons rarely emerge since Blue Star's magic power environment is unsuitable for their survival.

Hunters can bring demons out of the Abyss entrance, but few people do so.

If a captured demon suddenly goes berserk and harms the residents of Exploration Town and those living there, the Hunter who brought the demon back to Blue Star will be fined or even imprisoned.

Normally, bringing a demon out of the Abyss requires registering at the checkpoint and signing a very strict contract.

However, if the person doing it is Yan Luo, it's a different story.

Yan Luo cooperatively completed the registration, waited, but didn't see the checkpoint soldiers present the strictly worded contract, prompting him to inquire about it.

Upon learning from the soldiers that he didn't need to sign the contract due to his strong capabilities, Yan Luo was not pleased.

Yan Luo disliked this break from protocol; on a small scale, it was negligence by the checkpoint soldiers, but on a larger scale, it was a slippery slope leading to a gradual lowering of standards.

Therefore, Yan Luo did not agree with their approach and insisted firmly that they bring out the contract and signed his name on it.

In the eyes of the checkpoint soldiers, Yan Luo was acting irrationally, but Yan Luo believed he was upholding order.

Having rented a pickup truck from the checkpoint, Yan Luo loaded the captured demons onto the truck bed and drove towards the experimental site prepared by Sasa and Wu Zechuan.

The experimental site was a stadium, and Wu Zechuan had rented it, assuring that the stadium would be restored to its original state after the experiment.

Driving into the stadium, Yan Luo witnessed a busy scene.

Numerous engineers were working with smart machines to adjust the stadium's machinery, ensuring that the magic power environment could maintain a concentration comparable to that of the Abyss during the experiment.

Sasa stood nearby, directing her research institute's staff, who were bustling around.

As Yan Luo drove in, there were staff members directing smart machines to unload the demons from the truck bed and place them into several cages.

These demons were experimental materials, and upon being brought here by Yan Luo, their fate was sealed as 'death.'

The cages were sent into the experimental site, and up until now, the demons remained in a state of unconsciousness. However, to be safe, staff members injected them with varying doses of sedatives to ensure a deeper sleep.

Once everyone was ready, Sasa, standing on the high platform, issued the command: "Start the experiment!"

The magic power concentration in the experimental site was adjusted to match that of the Abyss. A Hunter entered and shot at the harmless level demon with a firearm.

With a gunshot, the harmless level demon died.

Hundreds of eyes watched the experimental site, and dozens of cameras focused on the demon.

The demon's corpse gradually dissipated, and subsequently, magic power gathered within the experimental site.

"Magic power convergence detected!"

A researcher responsible for monitoring the rise and fall curve of magic power in the experimental site excitedly exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, everyone present became alert.

Under the watchful eyes of many, a piece of fur appeared where the harmless level demon's body had disappeared.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath.

"...Is it really true?"

Sasa looked in shock at what was happening.

The Hunter inside the experimental site was equally shocked; this situation completely defied his knowledge.

Yan Luo exhaled a turbid breath, suppressed his excitement, and quietly said, "It seems our ancestors did leave us some valuable inheritance... but I wonder how they left the Evil God's Mark on Blue Star?"

Although Yan Luo could also share the Evil God's Mark with others, essentially, others could receive the Evil God's Mark due to the presence of his blood within them, and in the Evil God's Mark's judgment, those people are considered Yan Luo's derivatives.

Therefore, Yan Luo didn't know how his ancestors left the Evil God's Mark on Blue Star.

If one Evil God's Mark was left, then there could be a second or third.

Yan Luo seriously suspected that there were other Evil God's Marks on Blue Star; they just manifested phenomena that Blue Star People regarded as 'normal.'

Thinking of this, Yan Luo couldn't help but take a deep breath, press the button on the microphone, and issue the command to 'continue the experiment' to the Hunter inside the experimental site.

The Hunter, recovering his senses, picked up his firearm and approached the next demon.

He killed the normal level demon, but this time, no materials gathered.

This demon's corpse remained, not dissipating into magic power.

Could it be that generating materials requires the demon's corpse to dissipate, completing a substitution effect?

At this moment, an expert hired by Sasa suggested researching the demon's corpse.

He believed there shouldn't be exceptions for the Evil God's Mark, nor would it require so many prerequisites. Knowing that when the ancient Blue Star Civilization faced the Abyss, Blue Star's magic power environment was not sealed, which means the Abyss and demons had already realized materialization.

If the Evil God's Mark required prerequisites, then their ancestors wouldn't have been able to use it.

The expert suspected that although no materials were generated after the demon's death, the secret might be hidden within the demon's body.

Sasa agreed with the expert's request and allowed him to take the demon's corpse for research.

The Hunter continued, killing two more demons of dangerous level and deadly level; after their deaths, materials also generated in the experimental site.

The enormous city-breaking level demon lay quietly in the center of the experimental site, occasionally snoring.

Wu Zechuan moved his arms, nodded to Yan Luo and Sasa, awaited Yan Luo to revoke the Evil God's Mark on him, and then entered the experimental site.

He was about to conduct a second experiment—to see if after using the ancient cultivation method, Wu Zechuan could expedite his cultivation process through demon hunting.

Since it had been tested that Blue Star itself had the effect of the Evil God's Mark, Yan Luo and others suspected that Blue Star had a second and third effect of the Evil God's Mark, so Wu Zechuan entered the experimental site as a researcher.

Standing before the city-breaking level demon, Wu Zechuan took a deep breath, activated his own engravings, and eight light wheels unfolded behind him.

In the next second, he shot out like a bolt of lightning, crashing into the city-breaking level demon's body.

The city-breaking level demon awoke instantly, roaring to the sky in anger.

The massive sound wave roared back and forth in the experimental site but lasted only a moment before being restrained by Yan Luo's magnetic field powers.

Sasa rubbed her ears, grimacing.

Although it was just for a moment, the sound was indeed deafening, making one's ears hurt just hearing it.

The city-breaking level demon found itself in a perilous environment and immediately tried to break free from the chains binding its limbs to escape the experimental site. But as soon as it struggled, its body stiffened, and a few seconds later, its enormous body shook slightly and then collapsed with a crash.

The giant body fell to the ground, sending vibrations radiating outward.

Yan Luo released the restraint of the magnetic field powers, allowing the researchers a clearer view.

Wu Zechuan, having transformed into lightning, flowed out of the city-breaking level demon's mouth, condensed into a humanoid shape before the demon's corpse, and turned back to look at the gigantic corpse behind him.

Soon after, the city-breaking level demon's corpse slowly shattered, dissipating into light particles in the air, and a material began to coalesce, dropping where the demon's body originally existed.

Wu Zechuan took a deep breath, closed his engravings, and went to the measuring instruments, asking researchers to help measure the magic power within his body.

After a series of measurements and verifications, a researcher enthusiastically sniffed and exclaimed to Sasa, "Director, Chairman Wu's magic power has indeed increased!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zechuan opened his eyes.

Using the ancient cultivation method for personal engraving allowed bypassing spiritual concerns because during the cultivation process, the Engraver could autonomously gather spirituality.

In other words, Wu Zechuan did not need to hunt catastrophe level demons and the Master of the Abyss to continuously stack engravings on himself at the Sequence Two level.

Thus, Wu Zechuan could continue to increase his magic power even with eight engravings already in his body.

And now the growth of magic power in his body indicated that killing the city-breaking level demon indeed profited him.

——The Engraver's ability to complete engravings within by killing demons was not due to the use of the modern imprinting method, but rather the result of Blue Star's inherent Evil God's Mark!
