Lin Wu triggered the innate skills cellular manipulation along with cellular crystallization and shrank his body while morphing to become a spear again. Unlike before though it was not as painful and he finished the process in a minute.

Seeing that he was back in his spear form, Lin Wu took a breath of relief and looked at his body. Finding no change in it, he wondered what happened.

"System show me the Host Data." Lin Wu ordered, thinking that there were bound to be a few changes.

As Lin Wu had expected, a lot of changes had happened to the Host Data and he didn't know where to begin.

Nearly all of his spirit qi had been used up for some reason and his vital energy had been totally depleted. His second bloodline seemed to have upgrade somehow and there was even an additional core that seemed to be incomplete.

"System, what happened?." Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: From the system's analysis, it seems like the host's second bloodline was activated further and had grown on its own. The host having two bloodlines seemed to be have created an imbalance. This possibly happened due to the host's cultivation rapidly increasing.

The host's innate skill Radiation manipulation has also increased in proficiency due to the improvement in his bloodline. The host's vital energy has been depleted as well, which can be attributed to the upgrade in the bloodline as well.

An incomplete second beast core has also been created in the host's body which is another effect of the bloodline as well.

——

Seeing that nearly everything was caused by the unknown bloodline that he had, Lin Wu was appalled.

'Looks like I need to keep both bloodlines in a balance or something similar may happen again. It also seems like it created another core for the unknown bloodline, that is where all the spirit qi had been absorbed into.' Lin Wu thought.

Now Lin Wu was in another dilemma. With the amount of spirit qi that had been depleted along with the vital energy, he didn't know how long he could maintain the system energy for.

"Hmm, though I should be able to hold on for a couple of days as long as I don't spend the system energy on anything extra." Lin Wu muttered.

~Groan~

Just as he said that, Lin Wu saw Shirong groan. His hands moved around, and he seemed to be getting a gauge of where he was. His eyes were perhaps still blurry, or he was not able to see, but soon he was able to prop himself into a sitting posture.

Shirong took out a few healing pills from his ring and ate them, starting to heal the injuries that he had. Two minutes later, Ye Dai and Bei Wen had woken up as well, and the first thing they did was to try to heal themselves.

"Huh? Shouldn't they try to assess whether they are in a safe area first?" Lin Wu wondered.

'Maybe they are just too dazed.' Lin Wu thought.

Ten minutes passed, after which Shirong seemed to have taken full control of his senses. As soon as he did though, his eyes went open wide and a shocked expression appeared on his face momentarily.

"What!" He exclaimed as his expression turned serious.

Lin Wu then felt the spirit sense of Shirong touching him.

"Now you realize…" Lin Wu muttered in his mind.

~Phew~

Shirong took a breath of relief seeing that he was safe and then looked at the green crystal spear that was lying a short distance from him. He looked around and saw that the isolating formation that they had set up had been utterly destroyed.

He looked at his two companions and saw them to be recovering. Even if the blisters on his skin had been healed, the ones on Ye Dai and Bei Wen were still there.

"What in the world was that?" Shirong said out loud as he remembered the phenomena that he had just gone through.

He stood up and walked to the spear, staggering a bit. It was evident that some of his internal injuries had flared up due to the pressure.

"Dammit!" Shirong cursed as he felt the pain within his body.

He then bent down and picked up the spear with difficulty.

"Did… did it get heavier?" Shirong questioned.

Not knowing whether it was true or not, Shirong pushed that thought to the back of his mind for the time being and checked the spear. It still looked the same as it did before, though the power contained within it had certainly increased.

He probed it with his spirit sense and then the two blood red eyes with purple outline flashed in front of his eyes.

~Thud~

Shirong let go of the spear due to the shock and then remembered what he had seen before passing out. The absolute terror that filled his body, it was not something that he would ever forget.

"Hahaha!" But then he started laughing.

"Perfect! The more powerful you are, the better for me. Soon the three guardian clans will be a thing of the past and I'll be ruling the world." Shirong proclaimed.

'Seems like I went a bit overboard. This guy has become even more unhinged.' Lin Wu thought as he shook his head in his mind.
