Night fell, and the night sky was filled with stars.
The battle for the blood stone was still ongoing.
The original canyon had already been completely leveled. The energy shockwaves that kept radiating into the surroundings uprooted the green plants on the ground.
The area within a radius of several kilometers had become bare. There was not even a single rock.
The various domain forces fought over the ownership of the blood stone like wild beasts fighting for prey. The process was extremely bloody.
Feng Qi, who had been watching for most of the day, did not know how many domain creatures had died during this period.
Up till this point in the battle, various domain factions had several chances to take away the blood stone, but they were all interrupted by other domain factions.
At this moment, their fight for the blood stone was completely built on the lives of their clansmen.
Some domain forces had already chosen to retreat.
For example, the forces of the Science and Technology Research Institute that Li Xingchen represented had long chosen to retreat in advance after a few rounds of fruitless competition.
Before he left, Li Xingchen looked extremely miserable.
A small part of his body was missing, and the mechanical parts on his body were also incomplete. The exposed parts were still emitting electric sparks, and some kind of energy liquid was seeping out from under his feet.
As for the remaining domain factions, they had no intention of stopping at all.
Clearly, in the eyes of these factions, as long as they could obtain the blood stone, it was worth regardless of the number of clansmen sacrificed.
From this, one could see the value of the blood stone in the hearts of the various factions.
And that was the truth.
According to the information Feng Qi had, among the strong races that the domain alliance served, there were domain forces that controlled a portion of the blood stones.
Their method of enslaving weak races in the domain was very simple.
They only needed a few small blood stones derived from several blood stones to make domain weak races work for them.
Through Li Duo, Feng Qi learned that a blood stones could produce dozens of derived small blood stones every hour. The value of the derived blood stones produced every day could be imagined.
If it was a blood stone in its complete form, he estimated that it could produce more than a thousand derived blood stones per hour. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a money-printing machine in the Spiritual Qi world.
Not only could it increase the potential of the race, but it could also create external benefits.
Similar to the Holy Spirit’s consciousness library, the blood stone was a divine item that could increase the potential of the entire race.
This was also the reason why Feng Qi believed that the various domains would be so crazy over the blood stone.
The battle lasted until late at night, but the victor had yet to be decided.
However, during this period, there were a few nervous moments when the blood stone was almost taken away.
Every time this happened, the various factions would instantly become united. They would use all their strength to forcefully keep the domain creature that wanted to escape and kill it.
The original canyon seemed to have been struck by a meteorite. A huge sinkhole was formed.
The Spiritual Qi within a radius of several kilometers surged. The air was sometimes as hot as a mountain of flames, and sometimes as cold as a polar region.
If this level of war was in a city, it would definitely be a destructive disaster.
The battle even set off energy shock waves.
Every few seconds, a white circular shock wave could be seen sweeping and spreading out with the sinkhole as the center.
The area within a radius of a few kilometers had already become a life forbidden zone. Whether it was the green plants or the protozoans, they were all destroyed by the shock wave that spread out in the intense battle.
Even the clouds in the sky were scattered by the energy shock wave that charged into the sky. At this moment, there were no clouds within thousands of miles, and the night sky was filled with stars.
Feng Qi, who was standing in the distance, did not dare to approach the sinkhole again.
He was afraid of being affected by the shock wave.
The sinkhole was still sinking. In order to see the situation of the battle clearly, he chose to release his mental power and continue to watch the battle through mental perception.
The world in his mental power perception was very clear.
However, Feng Qi quickly realized that something was wrong.
He realized that there was a problem with his mental power again. After approaching the battle area, he began to uncontrollably devour the remaining mental consciousness of the dead domain creatures.
Because of this, his mental power quickly strengthened.
However, this state was not controllable, and the mental power devoured was very mixed. It was as if a new content had been forcefully pieced together on the original mental power.
With his consciousness, he could see that a large amount of mental energy of different colors was constantly being poured into his sea of consciousness.
The originally pale golden sea of consciousness was polluted by various colors and became mottled.
As the strength of his mental power continued to rise, the pain in his body appeared again.
Moreover, the pain this time was even more real than before. It was as if the connection between mental power and the body was gradually cut off with the growth of his mental strength.
Once the body could not withstand the mental power, perhaps the mental power would completely tear the body apart and be independent.
There were only two outcomes.
If his consciousness left with his mental power, he would undoubtedly become a pure mental power lifeform.
However, if his consciousness did not leave with his mental power, he would definitely die directly. As for the part that left, it would be like an organ that had been cut off and completely lose connection with his main body.
Faced with the negative effects of devouring external mental power, Feng Qi decisively chose to ignore it.
In his opinion, becoming stronger was a completely good thing.
Giving his lifespan to exchange for strength was not a loss.
Now, as long as his body could still withstand it, all problems would not be a problem.
As for the pain caused by the repulsion reaction between his mental power and body, he could completely withstand it.
He had experienced more painful things than this.
For example, the biochemical modification in the previous timeline.
That was the true hell of pain. The dual torture of his body and mind made him feel as if he was living in hell every day.
Even the process of rune transformation was several times stronger than this stabbing pain..
