102: The top-tier spirit beast, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, has a brand new form!

Success?

Li Qing was stunned.

The originally dazzling golden light cocoon had now completely vanished.

In its place was a brand new behemoth, quietly suspended in the water!

It still maintained the basic form of a Turtle, but its entire body had undergone a world-shaking transformation!

Its originally thick and simple shell had now become like the deepest Obsidian, covered in profound and mysterious blue patterns.

These patterns seemed to possess life, flowing slowly, outlining images of mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars.

Its limbs had become even more robust and powerful, its claws as sharp as blades, gleaming with a metallic cold light.

The greatest changes were to its head and tail!

Its head was no longer the honest-looking Turtle head of before, but had become more streamlined and angular.

Upon its forehead, a pair of dark blue, coral-like Dragon Horns had grown!

Its tail was no longer a short Turtle tail, but had transformed into a long and powerful dragon's tail.

The tip of the tail sported a fan-shaped fin; with a gentle sway, it seemed capable of stirring the winds and clouds of the four seas!

Is... is this still a Turtle?

Looking at the Clone's brand new form, Li Qing was utterly shocked.

This majestic and domineering appearance was exactly like the legendary Divine Beast, the Black Tortoise, said to carry immortal mountains on its back and roam the Nine Heavens!

[evolution value: 3980/500000 (Evolution can be initiated when evolution value is full)]

The System panel before his eyes dazzled Li Qing, making his heart surge with excitement!

All talents had received an epic-level enhancement!

The Water Respiration talent evolved!

The original limitation of only being able to breathe underwater for ten hours was completely gone! Now, water was its kingdom, where it could dwell eternally!

Xuanming Divine Armor!

Evolved from the original [Mysterious Armor] that simply boosted defense!

"Condensed from the Xuanming Qi of heaven and earth. Can withstand all methods, immune to most physical and energy attacks, and can convert a portion of the energy from received attacks into one's own vitality!"

Li Qing's breathing suddenly became rapid!

Wouldn't fighting from now on make him more energetic the longer he fought?

As for lifespan, needless to say.

His lifespan had more than doubled!

Four Seas Return to One!

Evolved from Mystic Water Manipulation!

Once, he could only manipulate ten thousand tons of water.

Now, he was the Monarch of Waters, able to command all waters under heaven!

The upper limits for manipulating water's weight and density had received an immeasurable increase!

He could even briefly alter water's form, turning it to ice or condensing it into mist!

With one thought, rivers could flow backward!

With one thought, a thousand miles could be frozen!

What an awesome talent!

It greatly increased his combat capabilities.

Great Strength also evolved into Dragon Elephant Power.

And it changed from the previous power of one dragon to the power of two dragons and four elephants.

Totaling three hundred thousand jin of immense strength!

With this strength alone, Li Qing could punch City Lord Zhuang Bai to death with one blow!

Mid-stage Domination!

The number of Vicious Beasts he could dominate increased from ten to twenty!

Earth Pulse!

Evolved from Earth Vein Sensing!

Perception range and precision skyrocketed. Even more terrifying was the newly added ability of "short-distance underground burrowing"!

The earth could no longer be its cage!

Li Qing's heart pounded wildly, his gaze firmly locked on the final talent, a brand new one that had just been born!

Void Shadowsneak!

"Draw upon a wisp of Void Realm power to merge one's aura and form into shadows and the crevices of tiny spaces, entering a stealth state. While stealthed, greatly reduces one's presence, making it extremely difficult to detect via Divine Sense or Formations."

Merge into shadows and spatial crevices?

Extremely difficult to detect via Divine Sense or Formations?

This... this is simply a top-tier divine skill for stealth assassinations, sneaking into homes, and escaping!

Suppressing the wild joy in his heart, Li Qing immediately tested the new talent.

With a thought.

[Void Shadowsneak] activated!

The massive Deep Sea Dragon Turtle's figure blurred, as if turning into a distorted shadow, then silently merged into the shadows of the cave.

It vanished!

It just disappeared into thin air!

Even when Li Qing used his own Mental Energy to sense it, he could only detect an extremely faint, almost imperceptible spatial fluctuation.

If one didn't investigate carefully, one would never discover a massive behemoth hidden there!

"Divine skill! This is absolutely a divine skill!"

Li Qing was so excited he almost cried out.

With this talent, wouldn't he be able to come and go as he pleased wherever he wanted in the future?

Any dragon's pool or tiger's den, any Forbidden Ground or treasure vault, would be like an open door before him!

It could be said that this upgrade was an epic-level enhancement!

At the same time.

Within the Listening Bamboo Pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes!

"Boom!"

An unprecedented torrent of energy erupted from every cell in his limbs and bones!

This was the energy flood fed back to the main body after the Clone's successful evolution!

This energy was far more refined and at least ten times more massive than the energy the Clone had fed back when he broke through to the Condensing Essence Realm before!

The drop of golden liquid Yuan Power in his Dantian began to rapidly expand at a visible speed under theflushing of this energy!

One drop, two drops, three drops... almost instantly, his Cultivation broke through the barrier of the Early Stage Condensing Essence Realm, advancing triumphantly and unimpeded!

Middle Stage Condensing Essence Realm!

And it was still continuously climbing!

Only when the Yuan Power Liquid had grown to the size of a longan and the pressure it emitted was close to the Late Stage Condensing Essence Realm,

did this momentum of growth slowly come to a halt.

It must be known that Li Qing was originally a talentless good-for-nothing with no Cultivation aptitude whatsoever.

Yet he had broken through to the Middle Stage Condensing Essence Realm through sheer force.

Only a step away from the Late Stage!

Even for a Genius, the fastest it would take to break through from Early Stage to Middle Stage would be a year or so!

Li Qing clenched his fists tightly, feeling the terrifying power roaring and surging within his body.

He felt that now, with one punch, he could even blow up a small mountain!

His pure physical strength, bolstered by [Dragon Elephant Power], had even broken through the threshold of three hundred thousand jin!
