178: The power of sequence limit!

Crack, crack, crack!

At this moment, as the Zerg King devoured Ga'er, strange noises began to emanate from its body. Simultaneously, under Li An's gaze, the Zerg King's body also began to undergo some special changes.

Beneath the hard chitin of the Zerg King's arms, sharp arm blades began to grow. A massive, pulsating pus sac, seemingly breathing, also swelled on its back.

"King..."

On the other side, watching its kin being completely devoured by the Zerg King, Angka retreated several steps, his face stunned. This scene completely overturned his understanding. The fact that that human could devour their Zerg had already terrified him, but now the Zerg King could also devour its kin!

"Angka, among the Great Generals, I think most highly of you. You are the youngest and possess the strongest vitality."

"Now you've seen it, the Kingdom is in peril. I need your sacrifice."

The Zerg King looked at Angka and said indifferently.

As he spoke, a suppressive aura, perceivable only by Zerg, instantly spread from the Zerg King. He needed to evolve, to become stronger. Only then could he hope to kill the human before him.

In the history of the Origin Kingdom, there were only ever five Zerg who could truly become Great Generals in each generation. However, throughout the Kingdom's history, the number of Zerg that could actually grow to Great General level was far more than that. Yet, surprisingly, there were always only five Great Generals in the Kingdom.

For centuries, unless their lifespan came to an end, the Zerg King always existed!

But Great Generals, no matter which Kingdom, were always only around five.

This situation actually involved a secret known only among Zerg Kings: after becoming a Five-Star Zerg, a special genetic message would appear in the Zerg King's genes, along with the unlocking of a special gene.

The message would inform the Zerg King that successors would eventually replace them. To continue to grow stronger and evolve among Five-Star Zerg, they needed to devour powerful Zerg of their own kind. Only powerful kin could help them reach the pinnacle of evolution.

"No, no... I..."

When the suppression of the higher-ranking Zerg erupted, even Angka's strength as a Great General was useless.

The Zerg King!

It was the most advanced evolutionary existence among Zerg. They possessed absolute suppressive power over lower-ranking Zerg.

This suppressive power stemmed from bloodline, from the species.

It was irresistible, inescapable!

Snap!

As the Zerg King's palm rested on Angka's head, a crisp sound instantly echoed in the air.

At the same time, he didn't move. He just quietly watched the Zerg King in action. Not just the Zerg King, Li An also needed to evolve, to become stronger. If the Zerg King could become stronger after devouring Angka, then his subsequent devouring of the Zerg King would undoubtedly make him even more powerful.

Therefore, Li An knew there was no need for him to interfere.

A few minutes later.

Angka, now just a mere husk, was casually tossed to the ground by the Zerg King. After devouring Angka, the pus sac on the Zerg King's back finally burst open, revealing a pair of arms that instantly grew from its back.

The Four-Armed Zerg King!

The moment the Zerg King completed its evolution, an incredibly powerful aura instantly erupted from him, surging towards Li An.

Hmph!

However, as the aura approached, Li An immediately stopped suppressing the attribute power he had not yet used. When the attribute power combined with his physical strength, an aura no less powerful than the Zerg King's, and even slightly superior, emerged.

Rumble!

A tangible, terrifying shockwave instantly spread out in all directions, centered on Li An.

Bang!

In an instant, the Zerg King immediately crossed his arms in front of him, directly resisting the shockwave with his defense, which had increased by several times.

"Come!"

Seeing this, Li An let out a long roar. His domineering figure first stomped on the ground, and as the ground shattered, Li An, like a human tyrannosaurus, charged towards the Zerg King.

Roar!!!

At the same time, the Zerg King also let out a long roar. His four arms suddenly spread out, and then in the next second, they clapped together instantly.

Boom!

The void instantly exploded with a loud bang, and an ear-piercing shriek immediately surged towards the charging Li An.

Get lost!!!

The next second, Li An took a deep breath, then let out an earth-shattering roar, scattering the surging shriek. It was also at this moment that Li An crossed the distance and arrived in front of the Zerg King.

Without hesitation, Li An's already poised punch shot out directly, aiming for the Zerg King's face.

As he moved, terrifying roars erupted along his path.

This was a sonic boom! This was a punch faster than sound!

"Human, I will not lose!"

Seeing Li An's powerful punch coming, the Zerg King immediately let out an earth-shattering roar. He quickly clenched his four fists and met the charging Li An.

Bang! Bang!

In an instant, Li An's fist collided with two of the Zerg King's fists. However, just then, a powerful gust of wind swept in—it was the Zerg King's other two fists!

Whoosh!

A whooshing sound erupted. Li An used the force generated by the colliding fists to leap backward, while quickly adjusting his body. When those two fists came, he just happened to flip his body, thereby directly avoiding the Zerg King's attack.

Bang!

However, at this moment, Li An's attack was not yet over. The instant he evaded the Zerg King's attack, he briefly hovered in a standing posture, then kicked directly towards the Zerg King's head.

A burst of air exploded. The Zerg King hadn't expected Li An to be able to counterattack even in that position. In a hurry, he immediately raised his four arms to block.

The next second, arm and thigh collided. Although Li An's strength was still superior to the Zerg King's, the four arms allowed the Zerg King to distribute Li An's force, and for a moment, he didn't suffer much damage.

Seeing that the attack failed, Li An immediately landed back on the ground.

"Hiss, that really hurt, human."

Watching Li An land again, the Zerg King's mouth instantly curved into an arc.

"What, you're already getting cocky?"

Looking at the Zerg King's sudden arrogance, Li An also smiled. At this moment, he also felt that, facing the Zerg King who had devoured Angka and Ga'er, he still held the upper hand. However, although he could defeat him, it would take some time.

Originally, Li An was willing to spend that time, but now, with the Zerg King provoking him, Li An suddenly didn't want to waste any more time with him.

[Legendary · Blade of Fearlessness: Upon wearing this title, you will possess the courage to face any existence, ignore all pressure, and your mental power can temporarily be converted into additional strength values, lasting for three minutes, with a cooldown of 1 natural day.]

The next second, Li An directly donned the Legendary title he had obtained. In an instant, his mind became clear. He suddenly felt as if his chest was imbued with infinite will. Immediately after, Li An activated the special ability attached to the title.

In an instant, a scene visible only to Li An appeared: his strength attribute value instantly soared at a visible speed, rushing towards the sequence limit.

Conversely, as Li An's strength attribute surged, his mental attribute continuously declined.

Soon, Li An felt that his strength value seemed to have reached some kind of limit.

He immediately instinctively clenched his five fingers, instantly tearing deep wrinkles into the space in his hand.
