154: Xiao Gu has evolved yet again.

Chen Fei had a clearer understanding of the Void Primordial Demon's strength.

A single dream of his was enough to slaughter rank five beasts, and it wasn't even something he intentionally controlled; it was merely the leakage of his dreamscape.

Truly, there is no harm without comparison.

Taking a few deep breaths, Chen Fei digested this information before continuing to ask, "Since you are already this powerful, what kind of existence is the one who sealed you?"

The Void Primordial Demon did not answer, only making a gesture for silence.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. This isn't something you can know right now."

"If you speak their names, they will sense it, and you will be directly obliterated."

Chen Fei immediately covered his mouth, no longer daring to ask questions blindly.

The Void Primordial Demon grew a bit impatient. "Alright, you know just about everything you need to know."

"As for the rest, I will reveal a bit more only once you reach the high stage of the King Rank."

"Now, let's talk about the deal between us."

Chen Fei made a "please go ahead" gesture.

"It's simple. While you are weak, I will aid your growth."

"After you break through to the Emperor Rank, return here and help me break the Seal."

It didn't deviate much from what Chen Fei had expected.

As for the question of whether releasing the Void Primordial Demon would bring disaster to the world, Chen Fei hadn't considered it at all!

History has always been written by the victors.

What is good or bad, who is right or wrong—who knows?

As long as the Void Primordial Demon didn't wreak havoc on the Spirit Taming Continent, he couldn't be bothered with who the other party might seek revenge against.

The Void Primordial Demon pointed to some grayish-white crystals around him. "These things only appeared because I've been here for many years, nurtured by the Laws."

"However, these are enough for your Gu insect to evolve."

Chen Fei chuckled a few times, a hint of "shrewd merchant" glinting in his eyes. "Are there any more? These crystals don't seem like enough no matter how I look at them."

The Void Primordial Demon rolled his eyes at Chen Fei and said speechlessly, "I'm aiding your growth, not pulling up seedlings to help them grow."

"Going from weak to strong is a process that you need to experience personally."

"If I were to let you Breakthrough to the King Rank directly and let you achieve Ascension, you would miss many insights in between."

"A person like that will definitely not go far!"

"To gain something also means to lose something."

The Void Primordial Demon spoke with categorical certainty!

This sentence again; Chen Fei had heard it more than once.

"What does that mean?"

The Void Primordial Demon was picking his teeth with a fishbone and only spoke after finishing. "For example, you contracted the slaughter sacred codex."

"Yes, it's incredibly powerful and allows for fast advancement."

"But as far as I know, it's hard for people like you to meet a good end."

"Otherwise, one could just become invincible. How else could the slaughter sacred codex have fallen into your hands?"

"That's all I have to say!"

"Some things you still have to figure out for yourself..."

Chen Fei understood, completely understood.

This was just like Wu Yun. After gaining the Dual Pupils, he had the ability of Replication, which provided a direct path to the Ten Great Laws.

It's just that there's a saying that Dual-Pupiled Persons rarely have a good end.

The hardships experienced along the way are bound to be more than others.

In some ways, the slaughter sacred codex was similar to the Dual Pupils.

However, Chen Fei didn't regret it at all. Without the sacred codex, he would be nothing and would have long since died under the Headless Angel's greatsword.

Still, he respectfully cupped his hands toward the Void Primordial Demon. "Thank you, Senior, for clearing my doubts, and thank you for your advice."

The Void Primordial Demon closed his eyes. "Alright, get lost already. Don't get all sentimental here; I'm a demon, I don't understand these things."

After collecting the crystals, Chen Fei left directly.

Only then did the Void Primordial Demon open his eyes and mutter to himself, "A little fellow who's both cautious and steady—this personality is truly annoying."

"But I have to admit, this type of person can go further."

"Gathering Dual Pupils, Space, tribulation lightning, and the sacred codex... if my Void is added, I wonder if you can break the shackles."

"You hypocritical existences up there, are you ready to welcome the Great Devil King?"

Hahaha..."

Back in the Bone Temple!

Chen Fei began to examine these grayish-white crystals.

[void immortal crystal

Quality: Grade Nine

Source: Crystals born from being shrouded in the Void Laws for many years.

Effect: Can greatly enhance Crystal System creatures and potentially allow them to comprehend the Void attribute.

Note: 1 million slaughter value can allow a Gu insect to achieve a perfect evolution.]

What the heck?

Chen Fei's eyes widened.

In the Myriad Beast Sect's treasury, there was only one grade eight spiritual item; whether there were more before, Chen Fei didn't know.

But these void immortal crystals were already grade nine just by being nurtured under the Void Primordial Demon's Laws.

Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

Chen Fei finally believed the Void-Concealing Skeleton King's words that the Void Primordial Demon was even stronger than the Shadow Great Emperor.

Looking at it now, it was most likely true.

After getting over his shock, Chen Fei immediately summoned the Three Beasts. "Little Gu, your Opportunity has arrived!"

Over the past week, his slaughter value had long since exceeded a million.

"Hehehe, is it finally the great Ancient God's turn to evolve!"

At this moment, Little Gu swept away his previous gloom.

Besides the void immortal crystal, Chen Fei also took out the purple crystal star stamen, then drew out a million slaughter value, preparing for the Breakthrough.

[For this evolution, you can choose from Poison, Devour, Gu, Reproduction... Control, Crystal, and Flight.

From 11 categories, select 7 for evolution.]

Chen Fei didn't plan on changing them; he would follow the previous path and just add "Crystal."

As the red light merged into Little Gu's body, the evolution officially began.

Since Little Gu was already used to the ability of Crystal Reorganization, the pain during this evolution wasn't as obvious as before.

Following that was another matter.

"Chen Fei... ah... why are my claws becoming illusory?"

"No, my body is also becoming transparent."

"I'm not going to turn into a ghost, am I?!"

"Yi yi yi..."

Unlike Little Gu's panic, Chen Fei and the other two beasts were curious.

They discovered that not only did Little Gu's body alternate between illusory and solid...

...but even the surrounding rocks and ground changed between illusory and solid along with him.

This situation was exactly like the inner perimeter of the entire Fierce Land, only the range Little Gu could affect was very small.

Chen Fei looked at the Bone Temple again; so, what truly caused this Space to become illusory wasn't the Candle Dragon above, but the Void Primordial Demon himself.

Even while sealed, his energy had already leaked out.

After a while, once the light vanished, the evolution concluded.

Little Gu's appearance and size didn't change much, but the crystal armor on his body became increasingly cool, looking like a piece of glazed glass art—crystal clear and shining brightly.

This reminded Chen Fei of a saying:

"Body like glazed glass, clear inside and out."

In addition, the vertical blade on Little Gu's head shrank, so he was no longer as top-heavy as before.

Overall, he was more harmonious.

It was also from this moment on that Chi Yu never used the word "ugly" again.
