Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1138 Cell Aggregates

After the Evil Eye Saint King broke through space and entered the four-dimensional space.

Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina landed on Saint King Island in front of Yu Xiaogang.

Upon seeing the corpses of the three thousand Holy King Guards, Zhou Qing waved his hand, and the fire moved with the wind, burning them all to ashes, returning them to the world and merging into nature.

"Brother Qing's control over the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire is becoming more and more exquisite." Seeing the corpse return to nature without harming the surrounding plants in the slightest, Tang San sincerely praised him.

"The more you know, the more uses you can summarize."

Soul Masters mostly rely on Soul Rings to unleash their skills, which is convenient, but few people actually try to understand the nature of the energy of heaven and earth itself.

Zhou Qing controls earth, water, wind, and fire, understands the principles of the four seasons, and is knowledgeable in natural science. Even without replicating other people's soul skills, he can still evolve gameplay based on the One Heart within him.

of course.

In the course of fighting, he still prefers physical combat to spells.

"Let's take a look at Yu Xiaogang first," Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at the two of them. "Is he still the same person now?"

"No."

The one who answered was Romantina.

Yu Xiaogang exuded a soft, yet not dazzling, light, unlike a creature of flesh and blood, but rather resembled a diamond sculpted into a human form.

By using spiritual power to detect, one can perceive that every cell in its body is crystal clear, purer than the divine body of a god, and also a different kind of evolutionary process from that of a god.

This is something worth learning from...

Zhou Qing seemed to be deep in thought, and put aside this thought for the time being. Just as he was about to test him, he saw Yu Xiaogang open his eyes, which emitted a pure white light. He was covered in white dragon scales, had white dragon horns on his head, and white wings on his back. As if he instinctively sensed the danger to Zhou Qing and the others, he transformed into a white streak of light and instantly flew tens of thousands of miles away.

"Chase!"

With a single word, Zhou Qing leaped into the air, traversing tens of thousands of miles.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina also created their own Cloud-Soaring Technique based on Zhou Qing's Cloud-Soaring Technique and combined it with the characteristics of their own Martial Souls and Techniques.

Tang San, based on the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique, combined the softness within strength of the Blue Silver Emperor and the hardness within softness of the Clear Sky Hammer, comprehended the balance of Yin and Yang, and used his inner vision to roam freely between heaven and earth, creating the Free and Easy Wandering technique. This made him like a Kunpeng, and when he used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique to swing his arms backward, it was just like a Kun swimming in the sea and a Peng soaring in the sky, reaching 90,000 miles in a single breath.

Xiao Wu's kung fu is all concentrated in her spine. Based on teleportation and emptiness, she uses the power of her inner vision to transform her body into golden light. She learns from Zhou Qing's leaping technique, which allows her to travel 100,000 miles in a single leap.

Romantina possesses the Twenty-Four Heavens within her. With a single thought, she can merge with heaven and earth, traversing 240,000 miles, just like Zhou Qing's ability to ride the clouds.

However, the three of them traveled 90,000 li in one breath, 100,000 li in one leap, and 240,000 li in one thought. This is about the same as Zhou Qing's cloud-riding technique, which allows him to travel 240,000 li in one leap. These are all theoretical speeds. In reality, due to limitations in physical strength and the energy interaction between the inner and outer realms, they cannot reach such outrageous theoretical data.

However, catching up with the Alaya Consciousness Dragon that moved in the form of light was not a problem. In three breaths, Zhou Qing traversed 100,000 miles and blocked the Alaya Consciousness Dragon's path.

Romantina arrived one step behind.

Xiao Wu is next.

Tang San came again. As for Dugu Bo—

They were left far behind.

"Depend on!"

Although he had also opened up his inner realm and could fly, he usually spent his time cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well or chatting with Odin in the Abyss Ruins. His speed was sufficient, even much faster than that of ordinary Peerless Douluo. Therefore, even though he had learned the concept of Zhou Qing's cloud-riding technique, he had never thought of creating any cloud-riding technique for fast flight. "It seems that I will have to create a flying soul skill for fast travel in the future, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with the pace of these four little guys!"

"Where to escape!"

Having blocked the dragon of Alaya consciousness, Zhou Qing shouted loudly, his mental energy surging forth, but he did not immediately absorb it into his inner vision.

In theory, by plucking the "flower and fruit" of the Alaya Consciousness Dragon and storing it in the inner world, one can sever the connection with the outside world and then gather the thoughts of the millions of people in the Star Luo Empire. However, in reality, it cannot be done immediately. Just in case, it is necessary to be more cautious and test this guy's methods.

When the dragon of Alaya consciousness saw someone blocking its way, its mind made a 180-degree turn and it wanted to retreat, but then it saw Romantina who had arrived a step behind.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Wu and Tang San, who arrived a step later, blocked his path on either side. They were astonished to see that his head could turn 180 degrees backward. "Is he even human?" they exclaimed.

"Certainly not."

Tang San stared intently at the Alaya-consciousness dragon, his eyes solemn, shimmering with purple light. His Purple Demon Eyes had already reached their highest level, perhaps even surpassing it, capable of seeing through illusions. He solemnly stated, "To achieve this, one's body no longer possesses internal organs; it is a unified whole, composed entirely of pure crystal cells..."
No wonder Romantina's simulation possesses the property of immortality; each cell is her own entity. If each of her cells is not destroyed, she will likely continue to divide, replicate, reassemble, and revive.

The power of Alaya-vijnana originates from the people of the Star Luo Empire as a whole...
The energy and substances required for cell division likely come from the direct absorption of ubiquitous microscopic matter and the energy of the universe...

The dragon of Alaya consciousness! Truly bizarre!

From Tang San's perspective, those cells seemed to possess consciousness, resembling a state that was both individual and collective, much like the insect swarm kingdom.

Unlike other insect kingdoms, while individual insects in the swarm do not possess thought, each individual is an independent and complete entity, thus forming a whole with a complete internal cyclical system.

The Alaya-consciousness dragon is a peculiar creature that exists between an individual and a collective, composed of trillions of cells. It has no internal energy circulation and is similar to the aggregation of elemental metals. It can also be likened to a magnet, constantly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to maintain its own energy consumption and growth.

in short.

At this point, Yu Xiaogang, or rather, the Alaya Consciousness Dragon, could no longer be considered a multicellular organism, but rather an aggregate of cells composed of single cells.

These characteristics reminded Zhou Qing of a boss from the Dragon Ball anime he watched in his previous life: Majin Buu.

Immortal and indestructible, capable of devouring and assimilating.

Aren't these properties exactly the same as those of the dragon in Alaya consciousness?
However, Majin Buu also has organs similar to those of humans, and even parasites, meaning he has a physiological circulatory system similar to that of humans.

Perhaps that's the difference!

The Alaya-consciousness dragon lacks the tissues and organs of a normal complex organism; it is a cellular aggregate, which is why its instinct for "aggregation" is amplified infinitely.

From this perspective, if we help the Alaya-consciousness dragon establish its corresponding internal circulatory system, it can autonomously divide cells to carry and process that vast amount of information, without needing to assimilate others to increase its own information capacity...
