Chapter 1146
These frenzied forces are broken down into their most basic elemental energies, which are then forcibly fused together by the Alchemical Array, forming a stable Mana Crystal.
With spatial power as the foundation, the Mana Crystal is compressed even further, making it more stable than a regular Mana Crystal—absolutely foolproof.
Each time the runes of law shift slightly, the entire Alchemical Array instantly transforms into a different array.
Using the spatial power within the Mana Crystal as a base, a low-level magical beast is forcibly summoned. The spatial connection then allows the Mana Crystal to easily merge into the beast's brain.
By leveraging spatial power as a foundation and combining it with the elemental force of the Mana Crystal, the beast's body is forcibly transformed, as if an overwhelming power is crammed into its small frame.
Yet with spatial power suppressing them, these elemental forces can't tear the low-level beast apart. Instead, the beast fuses with the elemental power, forcibly rising to the Pseudo Sky Rank.
But since their rank is forcibly elevated, these Pseudo Sky Rank beasts lack any true transcendental power.
Even their massive size is an unavoidable side effect...
Once the beast merges with the artificially created Pseudo Sky Rank Mana Crystal, it uses that trace of spatial power to teleport away.
Every step of this process is handled entirely by the Alchemical Array, and most of it takes place within the array itself. Only when the Mana Crystal is created and the Pseudo Sky Rank Beast is formed do they appear at the summit of the mountain.
The only part that might be noticed lasts mere seconds, and in those few seconds, almost no magical fluctuations escape—the spatial power suppresses and conceals everything.
A trace of awe flickered in Leon's eyes as he studied the Alchemical Array in detail. Now, he finally understood the true function of that sliver of spatial power.
It was breathtaking—this kind of Alchemical Array could only be constructed by a Saint Alchemist. Every pairing of runes of law was the epitome of elegance and simplicity.
Most impressively, a single shift in the runes of law didn’t destabilize the array at all—it seamlessly transformed into a different Alchemical Array. This level of difficulty is far beyond ordinary Sky Rank arrays, at least a hundred times more complex.
"A masterpiece—almost perfect!"
Leon watched the Alchemical Array with awe again and again. It looked simple, but its complexity was extreme—far beyond anything he could deduce at his current level.
After more than two hours of observation, Leon gained a great deal—especially a much deeper understanding of the runes of law, and new insights into constructing Alchemical Arrays.
At that moment, a Frost Mana Crystal condensed at the summit. Before the array could shift again, Leon spat out three runes, which circled the Frost Mana Crystal, turning into a sphere of light that enveloped it and severed its connection to the Alchemical Array.
With the Mana Crystal in hand, Leon examined it for a moment and confirmed—it was almost indistinguishable from the ones found inside Pseudo Sky Rank Beasts.
If there was any difference, it was that these Mana Crystals carried no trace of beast aura—just pure Mana Crystals, completely clean and lacking the usual beast imprint found in ordinary ones.
Leon put away the Mana Crystal, halting the array's transformation. Immediately, the process of condensing the next Mana Crystal began.
Another two hours passed, and an Earth Mana Crystal was condensed...
By the end of the day, a total of ten Mana Crystals had been formed. Leon checked the timing and confirmed that this array could produce about ten Mana Crystals per day.
At this rate, plus the Mana Crystals already on hand, it would take less than a month to gather three hundred crystals and trade for three drops of Beast God's Blood. With those three drops, the research would be nearly complete, and the secrets within the Beast God's Blood would be revealed.
With a place like this, who needs to hunt magical beasts anymore? The Pseudo Sky Rank Beasts in the Blazeforge Battlefield are all replenished by this Alchemical Array.
Only ten Mana Crystals a day means just ten new Pseudo Sky Rank Beasts appear daily—not nearly enough to hunt.
Even when Leon personally led the hunting party, they couldn’t manage to hunt ten Pseudo Sky Rank Beasts in a week...
The reason no one discovered this place before probably isn’t just its desolation—as far as the eye can see, it’s barren—but also its proximity to the edge of the plane, which might be dangerous.
More importantly, no one noticed anything strange here. Whenever an anomaly appeared, it lasted only a few seconds, and no magical fluctuations leaked out. Unless someone happened to be in the basin at that exact moment, there was no way to discover it.
