157: Chapter 157 Another Turbulence

However, the gap between the two sides was simply too large. The Vulture could not tear its prey apart, so it could only open its mouth wide and swallow it whole.

Mixed within it was an energy crystal the size of a human head.

Not long after, the eyes of this Star Beast Vulture turned blood-red.

Its expression was completely different from before, as if endless rage and hatred were intertwined.

"Ants~"

The cells and flesh throughout its body began to mutate rapidly. Its size quickly expanded from the original 10 meters to 50 meters, and its aura climbed rapidly until, at 100 meters, it broke through to become a Tier 1 Primary Transcendent Life.

But before its aura could be released, a black light enveloped its entire body, and all its aura vanished.

Even its size began to shrink rapidly, returning to that of an ordinary adult vulture.

Looking at this new body and new talent, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Star Beast Vulture.

It flapped its wings and flew towards the capital of this country.

Inside the military headquarters office, a Level 7 Transcendent Life was using a rare spiritual herb that had just been collected by subordinates.

For a backward country like theirs, which had not joined the Transcendent and Professional Association, there was no ability to refine or utilize spiritual herbs efficiently, so they could only consume and refine them directly.

The dark-skinned commander picked up a herb rich in energy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Outside the office window, a 1-meter-tall vulture landed silently on the edge of the open window.

While the commander was chewing and using the basic cultivation method passed down from the Transcendent and Professional Association to refine the medicinal power in his stomach, a burst of energy breath flashed by.

The commander's head was instantly pierced through.

After completing the attack, the Star Beast entered the office, its body expanded, and a suction force came from its open beak, swallowing the Level 7 Transcendent Life into its mouth.

A bloodthirsty gaze flashed in the Vulture's eyes.

It then flew away silently.

Outside the atmosphere of Blue Star, after several days of travel, Savage arrived on his private warship.

He hid in the Dark Universe, observing the movements on Blue Star.

As massive amounts of data were collected and fed back to the terminal, Savage muttered.

"Control, slaying, explosion, clearing."

"I didn't expect this Star Beast to be so troublesome, but with its talent, it is very difficult for the current Black Iron Human Race to capture its true form. It seems I have to take action myself?"

Savage tapped his finger on the tabletop.

He then pulled up another piece of information.

"Overview of Transcendent Development of the Blue Star Black Iron Human Race"

"Blood Fiend Secret Realm, Blood Fiend Vital Qi, are a supplement to the Gene Fusion System; they have some value, but they still require long-term evolution and development."

"The Martial Dao system has potential, but unfortunately, it is a defective product, and who knows how many people will need to follow in each other's footsteps to complete it and experiment with it."

"Cultivators, Vital Qi—is this what Tianhe created? The previous few systems all bear his shadow. Hmm, quite a few are already practicing it, and it has actually produced a few Transcendents. It seems the potential is truly significant."

"Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation, the understanding is very profound! Its versatility is also very strong; even everyone can practice it, though their talents vary."

Savage mobilized the super-computing intelligent entity inside the warship.

"Qingyang Zun, based on the current data, provide a comprehensive evaluation of the potential of this system."

"Yes, Captain."

Because the data provided was not too extensive, the results came out in less than a minute.

"New Transcendent System: Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator, Self-Cultivation and Self-Verification category, Immortal Cultivation side, Runes class. Based on the initial information detected so far, the potential of this new Transcendent system is rated at 2.5 stars."

"Oh~"

[Qingyang Zun], as a specially customized super-intelligent entity, is based on the new generation of bronze artifact intelligent cores developed by Qingyang Academy and possesses extremely high computing power and deduction capabilities.

It can conduct comprehensive evaluations based on the data he provides, considering the perfection of the Transcendent system, promotion theory, Transcendent ecology, number of promotions, and maximum combat power.

Savage did not expect that the Transcendent system founded by this Tianhe Zhenren could reach the mid-tier two-star rating.

It might even have the potential to break through to the high tier, which is why Qingyang Zun gave an extra 0.5 stars.

This kind of rating can be considered very high; generally, excellent Transcendent systems are between 1.5 and 2 stars, and can only rise higher after long-term development.

To achieve such a rating while still in the trial phase is quite rare.

He was also extremely interested in this situation, but he could not obtain the critical [Heaven-Receiving Qi-Refining Law-Imitating Profound Truth Talisman] of this Transcendent system to observe it.

Fortunately, he was not short on time now, and after this trial was completed, he could have a discussion with this Tianhe Zhenren.

Deep underground on Venus, a lava lake.

The Eternal Golden Dragon King Saro'er looked at this lava lake, where the energy had been completely absorbed and was cooling rapidly.

"Still no clues?"

He released his high-tier interference power to scan the entire interior of Venus.

"There are no traces of a Star Beast entering from the outside, so it must have come from the inside."

After speaking, he thought for a moment, raised his hand, and extracted a golden staff from the void.

Injecting magic energy and tapping the ground lightly, a magnificent magic array covered the lava lake for a thousand miles around.

"Corridor of Time"

Instantly, the light and shadow in this place retreated rapidly.

The Star Beast returned here, absorbed energy here, woke up, sensed the fluctuations in the laws of Blue Star, and entered a deep sleep.

This period of deep sleep was extremely long, lasting until nearly 10,000 years ago.

In the center of the lava lake, the Star Beast suddenly flew up from the lake and jumped into a suddenly opened spatial rift, which then immediately closed.

"So that's how it is. However, even a high-tier life form like me can only enter the void for shallow travel. To be able to break through the magical seal of the Meteor Great Sage and the strict spatial laws of the Great Universe, what kind of existence could it be, and what is its purpose?"

"Super-tier? Still a bit short. Or perhaps another taboo existence?"

Feeling the relatively weak space here, Saro'er struck a golden magic seal to mark this space.

On the peak of Tianhe Peak, the Incarnation was deducing the ceremony for ascending to the Purple Mansion.

The ascension of this kind of mid-tier life form requires not only rich energy but also the blessing of the entire momentum of heaven and earth.

Especially as the founder, when the concept of the Purple Mansion is still new, the help needed to successfully ascend will only be greater.

In addition to the transformation of the internal mana energy level and the condensation of the Yin Spirit to take control of the Purple Mansion, it is also necessary to gather the fortune of the Dao lineage, build the structure, and use the great power of heaven and earth to support the life form, so as not to fall in rank due to the environment immediately after ascension.

At this moment, Chen Tianping came to report news.

"Master, 10 days have passed since the clearing operation began, and although more than a dozen monster beasts have been exterminated, dozens of high-level Professionals still go missing every day. The disciple speculates that the Star Beast has likely been resurrected and is hunting Professionals everywhere to grow."

Hearing this, the Incarnation closed his eyes, pondering the deeper purpose of this Star Beast.

"The 'galaxy general knowledge' records that the intelligence of Transcendent Star Beasts is no less than that of normal life forms, and they even possess unique innate abilities due to their different environments of birth."
