27: Successfully obtained C-level lightning control!

However,

Su Chen gritted his teeth and endured.

"No!!!"

Su Chen's consciousness roared like a beast amidst the waves of intense pain!

The indignant faces of the Divine Summer soldiers!

The ugly spectacle of Fusang soldiers urinating!

The arrogant laughter of the American Guys!

Qin Zheng's deep bow!

Divine Summer's nationwide commitment to abstaining from meat for sustenance!

And... the world-ending shadow of the alien race's arrival!

Once I let go... with my speed, it would be impossible to catch up to this Deep Sea Thunder Eel again.

At that time,

Divine Summer would not only lose Xuanming Island, but

even the Divine Summer mainland might be attacked by Clovis.

If Divine Summer is destroyed... I would have no one to feed me, and relying solely on my own evolution, the efficiency would greatly decrease.

When the alien army arrives, I would still be unable to escape death!

"Letting go... is a dead end!"

"For Divine Summer! For myself! Hold on! Hold on for me—!!!"

In an instant,

the B-Rank Skill — Super Regeneration, operated at its limit!

Su Chen's charred epidermis peeled off frantically like a snake shedding its skin!

Pink, wriggling new muscle tissue proliferated and covered the wounds at a visible rate!

Beneath the carbonized stratum corneum, tougher new carapaces rapidly hardened!

On one side was destructive electric scorching,

on the other was violent regenerative repair!

Su Chen's body was repeatedly tormented in the purgatory of "destruction" and "rebirth"!

Excruciating pain, like billions of red-hot steel needles, continuously pierced his nerves!

"Roar—!!!"

Su Chen's roar, a mix of pain and anger, shook the seabed.

Under the extreme stimulation of intense pain,

Su Chen's ferocity was completely ignited!

The muscles on his ten tentacles wildly bulged again like hydraulic presses!

The 1900 points of strength contained in each tentacle were unleashed without reservation! Crushing! Overwhelming!

Snap! Squish! Crack!

Vulcanus's tough body emitted an unbearable, teeth-grinding crunch!

Large areas of scales flew off!

Thick bones twisted, deformed, and fractured under the terrifying pressure!

Internal organs were squeezed out from its mouth and nostrils!

Dark purple blood, like thick ink, instantly dyed the surrounding boiling lightning domain red!

"Hiss... Ang?!"

Vulcanus let out a dying, incredulous wail.

Its huge vertical pupils were filled with extreme fear and absurdity!

How is this possible?!

How could he withstand such intense electric shocks from me?!!!

At this moment,

Vulcanus, almost twisted into a pretzel,

was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Its lightning domain was so intense,

let alone a mere 4th-tier octopus,

even a 50th-tier Demon Whale wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on!

But this octopus not only endured it,

it could even unleash such terrifying power within the lightning domain?!

What kind of monster was it?!

Just as its consciousness was about to be completely drowned by immense pain and suffocation!

One of Su Chen's tentacles, not fully paralyzed, suddenly broke free from the entanglement like a lurking venomous dragon!

The tip of the tentacle instantly hardened and extended!

The pitch-black stratum corneum emitted a metallic cold gleam under high pressure!

Buzz—!

The tentacle tip ripped through the water, its speed instantly breaking physical limits—twenty times the speed of sound!

(C-Rank Skill — Death Whip!)

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Vulcanus's remaining consciousness only saw a pitch-black afterimage, tearing through the deep sea, too fast to be caught, carrying absolute destructive power,

slamming down towards its proud head!

Slam!

Pfft—!!!

There was no earth-shattering roar.

Only an extremely muffled sound, like a watermelon being instantly crushed by a ten-ton hydraulic press!

Vulcanus's hideous, scale-covered giant head, like an egg struck by a heavy hammer,

exploded with a bang!

Hard skull, developed brain tissue, eerie blue eyeballs... in the face of absolute power,

they were fragile and vulnerable!

Turning into a foul blood mist mixed with bone fragments, brain matter, and purple blood,

it burst open violently!

The rampant blue-white electric light was cut off as if the power had been disconnected, suddenly extinguishing!

The boiling lightning domain instantly dissipated!

Only the dark red glow of the geothermal lava remained, illuminating the headless giant eel's sinking remnants in the seawater,

and the pitch-black giant demon wrapped around it, charred and interwoven with new tissue, as if returned from hell!

"Haha... hahaha..."

Su Chen looked at the Deep Sea Thunder Eel that had stopped struggling,

and a hearty laugh erupted in his heart.

Although,

it was very intense,

fortunately, he killed this Big Long Worm that could discharge electricity.

As long as I can evolve a new Lightning Talent,

I can electrocute that big crab!

Thinking of this,

Su Chen unhesitatingly activated the Infinite Devour Evolution System on the Deep Sea Thunder Eel.

[Ding, devoured Deep Sea Thunder Eel — Vulcanus, gained evolution points — 3200 points]

[Current evolution points: 8104/8000, evolution conditions met. Would you like to initiate evolution?]

"Heh! An unexpected surprise? I didn't expect that devouring this Deep Sea Thunder Eel would give me enough evolution points to directly upgrade to 5th-tier!"

"Alright then, let's proceed with both evolution and gene analysis!"

Su Chen's eyes were full of joy.

The next moment,

the torrent of evolution and the gene analysis power of the Ocean Dominator talent simultaneously exploded within his body!

His pitch-black colossal body violently expanded in the gloomy oceanic trench!

The explosive sound of bones extending!

The wriggling sound of muscle fibers frantically proliferating!

Large patches of charred dead skin peeled off his body surface, revealing a thicker, brand-new stratum corneum below, shimmering with a metallic cold light!

At the same time,

violent blue-white electric snakes uncontrollably shot out from various parts of his regenerated body!

Crackling and illuminating the abyss!
