Chapter 150 What Kind of Flower Represents Disappearance

During the previous Totem Battlefield mission, Su Chen had already accumulated a considerable amount of blood energy. This time, after annihilating the Dasiki Battle Alliance, he had devoured and extracted a massive amount of blood energy, bringing his total to one hundred thousand points.

According to past patterns, the blood energy consumed to unlock each subsequent genetic lock would skyrocket tenfold. Last time, unlocking the third genetic lock had consumed ten thousand points of blood energy, which meant this time it should require one hundred thousand points.

In other words, barring any unexpected circumstances, he had already met the conditions to unlock the fourth genetic lock.

Sure enough, just as Su Chen was thinking this, that strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Host Su Chen, the genetic fission progress bar has reached one hundred percent, meeting the activation requirements. Do you confirm opening the fourth genetic lock?"

"It seems you are merely operating mechanically and possess no true intelligence; otherwise, you wouldn't ask such redundant nonsense," Su Chen retorted irritably.

Through such a long period of contact, Su Chen had finally understood that there was no need to be polite when dealing with the mutated Devil Fruit inside his body. Having a good attitude was useless, and in the end, everything had to be backed by strength.

After giving a definite answer, Su Chen felt a surge of great joy and eagerly anticipated what his domain would actually turn out to be. However, he never expected an accident to occur abruptly!

First, that strange voice suddenly warned: "Warning! Host Su Chen, special energy has been detected within your body, mutually repelling the demonic genetic power. Unlocking the fourth genetic lock rashly will trigger unknown and uncontrollable changes. Confirming once again: do you still wish to open the fourth genetic lock?!"

Immediately afterward, the flame seed imprint on Su Chen's chest suddenly grew scorching hot, and the totem pole even issued a warning notification: "Warning! A mutated genetic chain has been detected. Specific risk assessment is impossible. Please exercise extreme caution and wait until your own genetic chain is repaired before opening the fourth genetic lock!"

Hearing this, Su Chen's expression froze. The previous three times he unlocked his genetic locks had gone smoothly; he hadn't expected twists and turns to arise this time.

Soon, however, Su Chen realized that this situation was likely related to the mysterious green light dwelling within his sea of consciousness.

Ever since that mysterious green light had fused into his body, it had engaged in a series of collisions with the mutated Devil Fruit, causing his body to mutate continuously and slipping beyond his control.

After thinking deeply for a moment, Su Chen finally made his decision and once again gave a definite response.

Fortune favors the bold!

Although he would have to take certain risks, it seemed that ever since he entered the alternate parallel space—because of the mutated Devil Fruit inside him—he had constantly been bearing the risk of his internal genetic chain snapping. Bearing one more layer of risk now made no difference.

Furthermore, although he still hadn't figured out what that mysterious green light actually was, past conflicts showed that the natural force stimulated by that green light posed no harm to him. On the contrary, with its help, the demonic power within him had been suppressed.

Lastly, and most importantly, a powerful enemy stood directly before him. If he failed to achieve a breakthrough, he would be no match for his opponent whatsoever. Rather than sitting idly and awaiting death, it was far better to go all out and take a gamble.

"Warning! Host Su Chen has chosen to forcibly open the fourth genetic lock, which will trigger a series of unknown and uncontrollable changes!"

"Warning! Esper Su Chen, the genetic chain within your body has deeply mutated, and the domain power about to awaken is also undergoing mutation!"

"Warning..."

The strange voice in his mind and the totem pole sounded piercing alarms one after another, but Su Chen directly ignored them all. From the moment he decided to take the risk, he could no longer care about such things, choosing instead to focus entirely on the changes happening within his body.

Waves of formidable power surged from deep within Su Chen, rapidly circulating through his limbs and bones, swiftly enhancing his physical resilience and sensory perception.

Next came genetic optimization. Su Chen could clearly feel the genetic chain inside his body rapidly reorganizing and optimizing, or perhaps it could be called mutation...

Finally came the domain power he cared about most.

Just as the warnings from the strange voice and the totem pole had indicated, an uncontrollable change indeed occurred. The mutated Devil Fruit and the mysterious green light within his body seemed intensely stimulated, launching a frantic counter-assault. Waves of evil demonic power violently clashed with streams of natural life force, forming a powerful energy field centered around Su Chen's body.

Extreme Domain!

This time, rather than Su Chen activating it himself, the Extreme Domain appeared on its own initiative, and from the moment of its emergence, it began to suppress the domain power Su Chen was about to awaken.

Su Chen cursed inwardly, unable to help his rising anxiety that he might fail to awaken his domain power altogether. Moreover, judging by the current trend, this possibility was growing increasingly likely—after all, neither the mutated Devil Fruit nor the mysterious green light was anything to be trifled with.

"I almost forgot about those mutated power crystals!" At this critical juncture, a flash of inspiration struck Su Chen. He suddenly thought of a solution and immediately put it into action.

First by slaying Swan, and then by slaughtering six or seven hundred Culmans, he had gathered nearly a hundred mutated power crystals within his body. This was the exact moment to put them to use.

One had to know that those mutated power crystals were inherently special products, having fused two extreme forces: demonic power and natural force. Perhaps they could act as a neutralizing and buffering agent, thereby allowing him to successfully awaken his domain power.

Su Chen wasn't entirely certain whether this method would truly be effective, but at this point, he had no better options left and could only treat a dead horse as a live veterinarian.

Nearly a hundred mutated power crystals were completely absorbed and fused by Su Chen. The next moment, a miraculous thing happened: the powerful energy field stimulated by the Extreme Domain gradually merged together with the domain power Su Chen was opening.

Simultaneously, the strange voice resounded in Su Chen's mind: "Host Su Chen, the fourth genetic lock has been successfully unlocked, and a mutated domain power has been acquired. Its might remains to be evaluated."

Shortly after, the flame seed imprint on Su Chen's chest grew abruptly hot, receiving a notification message from the totem pole: "Esper Su Chen, because your domain is utterly unique and has undergone a series of uncontrollable, unknown mutations, you have been granted naming rights. Please name your mutated domain power."

"Let's just call it Extreme Domain." Su Chen, who suffered from naming difficulties, couldn't be bothered to waste mental energy on it and replied casually.

Besides, the name Extreme Domain was quite fitting after all, seeing as this mutated domain power had inherently incorporated the special energy of the Extreme Domain.

Having completed the naming, Su Chen received another notification message from the totem pole. After reading it, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, and his face instantly broke out in wild joy.

This was because the attributes of the Extreme Domain were overwhelmingly powerful—far more formidable than he had ever anticipated. Taking that risk had been completely worth it!
