Chapter 159: The Fourth Evolution, Visions (II)

By the window, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes. Within his black pupils, faint golden vertical ones appeared, and his gaze became icy, inexplicably exuding a sense of noble dignity, as if he were an emperor high above.

However, just like with the last breakthrough, the peculiar vision disappeared as Chen Chu slowly closed and reopened his eyes.

This time, the improvement to his main body from the evolution was even stronger than the last. Although he was still at the early stage of the Fourth Heavenly Realm, Chen Chu felt as if he could punch through a Fifth Realm cultivator with a single blow.

In amazement, Chen Chu summoned the attribute page with a thought.

Evolution Points: 0/30000

In this evolutionary leap, Chen Chu's main attributes had surged by over 300 points, with his Strength attribute breaching the 1,000-point mark, an astonishing feat. His Physique, Agility, and Spirit attributes had also experienced substantial advancements.

This elevated his basic capabilities to surpass those of cultivators at the same level or even one realm higher, and resulted in a significant boost in combat prowess, extending beyond mere strength bursts.

Yet, amid these remarkable changes in his main body, the transformations in his avatar were even more astounding.

Now named the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast, his avatar had ascended to the high-level realm of level 7. Below, the abilities were categorized into two major classes: physical and transcendent, each meticulously detailed.

It seemed that the attribute page also evolved continuously alongside his growth. Perhaps this served as his latent soul ability, and hadn’t taken shape before because of his transmigration. Now, however, with the awakening of his past consciousness and his growth in strength and knowledge, it was gradually taking shape, becoming more detailed with each evolution.

Lost in thought, Chen Chu's gaze fell on the avatar’s ability data, noting the top-level rankings of its strength and defense abilities. Meanwhile, the agility gained during the third evolution was classified as high-level, explaining its subtle sense of inferiority compared to strength and defense.

Additionally, the six-horned salamander's inherent abilities, such as regeneration and weak toxin, had finally appeared on the list after the fourth evolution, albeit at low-level.

Furthermore, the Flame Blaze ability the avatar had acquired previously had surged in potency during this evolution, now reaching middle-level and allowing its entire body to radiate temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees Celsius. It also now possessed the ability to exhale a scorching breath capable of melting metal.

With the addition of the Thunderbolt ability, the avatar's strength had become extremely terrifying all at once.

However, it seemed that with each evolution, the level of newly acquired abilities was weakening. Chen Chu furrowed his brows slightly, unable to discern whether this was due to the number of evolutions or the mutated organism the avatar had absorbed this time.

After a prolonged moment of examining all of the changes in attributes, Chen Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief, shifting his attention to the Thunder Beast.

Within the pitch-black cave, a monstrous beast twenty-five meters in length, enveloped in blazing flames and crackling lightning, opened its black eyes.

Boom!

As the Thunder Beast soared upward, an infinite burst of fire erupted, instantly causing the cave roof to explode and half of the island to collapse.

Amid the crumbling earth, a figure emitting a black and red glow landed with a thunderous crash on the partially collapsed island, cracking the rocks beneath its claws and causing the earth to tremble.

Roar!

The black and red monstrous beast let out a roar, and in an instant, a ring of awe-inspiring sound waves exploded outward, causing the water around the island to burst into waves.

After the fourth evolution, besides the changes in abilities, the Thunder Beast had also undergone significant changes in form. Its entire body burned with red flames, with blue electric arcs dancing on its dorsal fins, and its length had increased from twenty to twenty-five meters.

However, most of this increase in length had gone to its tail. Originally occupying half of the beast’s body, it had grown three meters longer this time. It was now more slender, covered in black and red scales and black bone spurs that emanated a sharp edge.

The body size, which had increased in length by two meters, had become more robust, with bulging muscles covered in a thick black and red exoskeleton, exuding an unshakeable sense of solidity.

Its hind legs had become thicker and more powerful, containing terrifying explosive power, and the front pair of claws had become as flexible as arms. While relatively slender, they still possessed significant explosive strength, making them more suitable for close-quarters combat.

Significant changes had also occurred on its back, where the sharp dorsal fins had become thicker, resembling irregular corals extending from its head to its tail. While the appearance of the dorsal fins somewhat resembled Godzilla's, they were thicker and harder. Arcs of electricity flickered and jumped between the black and blue fins.

Additionally, the monstrous beast's head had become wider and thicker, with short black horns growing from its head that pointed straight toward the sky and made it look like a demonic dragon emerging from the depths of hell.

Fierce golden-red flames leapt up from the three pairs of red feathered horns on both sides of its head, creating a crown of fire that enhanced the beast’s majesty and dominance.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from the Thunder Beast's body, and flames engulfed its entire body. The base of its black and blue dorsal fins lit up one by one, emitting dazzling blue light.

Boom!

In an instant, an endless amount of blue electric arcs exploded from the Thunder Beast, rapidly expanding like a spherical net of lightning and sweeping across a hundred-meter radius in the blink of an eye.

Within the thunderstorm’s magnetic field, bolt after bolt of lightning as thick as an arm emanated in all directions, causing the island to shatter and water to explode upon impact. The bodies of countless small fish floated to the surface within a kilometer radius.

As the spherical net of lightning exploded, the Thunder Beast suddenly lifted its head and opened its mouth wide, an intense red light glowing from within.

Instantly, a pillar of fire erupted.

Boom!

A one-meter-diameter column of scorching fire roared out, instantly vaporizing the air with its high temperature, and continuously expanding until it reached a length of two hundred meters and a thickness of five.

With a roar, the pillar of fire exploded into a ring of blazing flames that shot out a hundred meters, creating a spectacular sight as it illuminated the night sky with its radiant light and heat.

After the eruptions, however, the flames and electric arcs on the Thunder Beast’s body dimmed and extinguished, leaving only the dark red scales radiating intense heat that baked the air.

Standing on the small island, which had melted into lava and was slowly cooling, the Thunder Beast showed excitement in its eyes. After this evolution, its strength had become extremely terrifying. Although its length was only twenty-five meters, its name now contained the words “Colossal Beast.”

After testing the scorching breath and the power of thunder and lightning, the results did not disappoint. The powerful transcendent ability had finally eliminated any weaknesses it had.

However, compared to the mythical colossal beasts that even humans were helpless against, it had just begun its journey.

Thinking of this, the Thunder Beast looked toward the distant sea. In an instant, the rocks beneath it shattered, and its massive body became a black shadow as it leapt hundreds of meters high and crashed into the sea with a thunderous roar.
