Ordinary cacti were not a threat to Luo Yu and the others. They had the power of Falsified Sky, and none of the cacti could even defend themselves against them.
However, Han Sen also realized that Luo Yu and the others had only practiced the first half of the Falsified-Sky Sutra. He didnât understand why Luo Haitang hadnât even taught his direct family members the complete version of the Falsified-Sky Sutra.
As for Luo Yuâs body, it also looked strange to Han Sen. Both his strength and speed seemed to have reached super level, but his life force didnât seem as strong as it should have been. Instead, it had stayed at the sacred-blood level.
Han Sen didnât know that Luo Haitang had obtained a life geno essence a long time ago, but he wasnât able to absorb the life geno essence because of his practice of Shura Change.
The other Luoâs like Luo Yu were ordinary humans, but they hadnât figured out a method of absorbing life geno essences from the First Godâs Sanctuary, not to mention the Fourth Godâs Sanctuary.
Back then, the gene liquid that most people now used to absorb life geno essences hadnât been invented yet. Those from the generation of Luo Yuâs and Luo Huiâs father studied it for a long time, and they finally came up with a special method to use life geno essences.
That method wasnât the same as the conventional method of absorbing life geno essences. They borrowed it from a geno solution designed for a Qi Gong, and it treated life geno essence as a geno solution.
Though the technique didnât allow the user to merge the life geno essence with their own flesh and blood, it did create a strange geno solution with the origin of power of the Luoâs. The Luoâs had another kind of special power aside from the power of Falsified Sky.
When they arrived at the Fourth Godâs Sanctuary, the geno solution they had condensed was transformed into a self geno core. More importantly, that self geno core still had the same ability to absorb life geno essences. When the geno core formed, it was automatically at super level.
Aside from that self geno core, they could also condense a second self geno core from the Falsified-Sky Sutra, which was why the Luoâs were so proud.
Having two self geno cores, with one of those cores immediately rising to super level, gave the Luoâs the leverage to roam the Alliance.
However, there was a huge downside to this method; their bodies hadnât reached super level, so the Luoâs were physically weak. Their life forces hadnât reached super level, which was why they felt strange to Han Sen.
A couple hundred miles into the dune, they began to find cacti made of gold. They were all sacred-blood creatures, yet they were still killed by Luo Yu and Luo Hui with one strike. The power of half the Falsified-Sky Sutra was already extraordinary.
Han Sen also killed several golden cacti with his Taia and gained a beast soul. It was a heavy mace that was made of gold, and it looked forceful.
However, Han Sen didnât know how to use this kind of unpopular weapon, so he would have to trade it.
The cacti were bizarre. They were grown in the sand, so they couldnât move at all, and the only attack techniques they had were thorns. Their flesh and blood werenât edible either. If Han Sen hadnât already killed some, he wouldnât even have thought they were creatures.
Luo Yu and the others werenât surprised to see Han Sen slaying the sacred-blood creatures. If Han Sen couldnât even do that, Luo Haitang wouldnât have valued him.
âThose cacti!â After walking a thousand miles into the dune, Jia Shidao pointed in front of them.
Han Sen and Luo Yu and the others all followed Jia Shidaoâs gaze. They saw a cactus that was ten feet tall, made of crystal, simmering under the sun. And it wasnât the only cactus. Behind that cactus were many other crystal cacti with a variety of shapes.
Everyone stopped walking, and nobody dared to move forward anymore. Even Luo Yu and Luo Hui had to be careful when they faced super creatures.
After all, their bodies were only as sturdy as sacred-blood creatures, so they might be killed by super creatures.
âYou want to kill a super creature, right? Now itâs your chance to do so. Letâs see whether you can actually do it or not,â said Luo Yu, looking at Han Sen.
Han Sen took a look at those cacti made of crystal. He shook his head and said, âI donât even know what those cacti are capable of yet, so Iâd better test them first.â
Although the previous cacti couldnât move at all, nobody could guarantee that these cacti wouldnât be able to move either, so Han Sen didnât want to risk it.
âIf youâre too scared to try it, then Iâll do it first,â said Luo Yu while summoning his geno core.
A red crystal armor covered Luo Yuâs body, and a blade appeared in his hands.
That red crystal armor looked bizarre. Han Sen felt that it was made of life geno essence, but he couldnât tell how that had been done.
Luo Yuâs blade looked like the She-King Blade, but it wasnât as delicate.
âThis is so weird. The power of that crystal armor doesnât seem to be connected to the Falsified-Sky Sutra at all, but it gives Luo Yu terrific power.â Han Senâs interest was piqued.
Luo Yu lifted his shield and dashed toward the cactus closest to him. Just like the ordinary cacti, it spewed out many thorns that looked like crystal. The thorns flew toward Luo Yu like a storm.
Dang!
The thorns pierced Luo Yuâs sacred-blood shield. However, the thorns that hit his body were warded off by the crystal armor, so they didnât injure him at all.
Han Sen nodded. âThe Luoâs indeed have something to be proud of. With that armor, only a few humans like Gu Qingcheng would actually be able to hurt him.â
Luo Yu rushed toward the crystal cactus like a heavy-armored soldier. The thorns hit his armor, making a sound like rain on a tin roof, but they still failed to pierce through the armor. Luo Yu was getting closer and closer to the cactus. The blade in his hand that contained the mysterious power of Falsified Sky slashed toward the crystal cactus.
Jia Shidao was exhilarated, and he couldnât help yelling, âLuo Yu is incredible! We canât even compare with him.â
Luo Hui smiled. âIt was right of you to cooperate with us. Big brotherâs geno core has both attacks and defense. Killing creatures that canât move their bodies will be easy for him. Just wait here for the rewards.â
Luo Yuâs blade hit the crystal cactus as they spoke, but in the next second, Luo Yuâs face fell.
The geno core blade that contained the power of Falsified Sky slashed the crystal cactus, but it couldnât injure the crystal cactus in the slightest.
The geno core blade was a geno core condensed from the Falsified-Sky Sutra, so it couldnât grow immediately to super level like the first self geno core. It was still a gemstone core.
The body of the crystal cactus was too solid. Even if it had the power of Falsified Sky, the sword couldnât break the body of the crystal cactus at all.
