118: Chapter 119 The Prince Yuan? Not anymore!

"Burp—!"

Ling Tian lay sprawled at the bottom of the giant crater, rubbing his slightly bulging belly in satisfaction, and let out a long, full burp.

Awesome!

So awesome!

Although the process was thrilling and dangerous, almost turning himself into a firecracker, the harvest was truly explosive!

"Does this stupid bird have something wrong with its brain?"

Ling Tian licked his lips, savoring the crunchy texture of the demon core he had just eaten. "Things that enter my stomach still want to rebel? Don't you know that my Super Devour digestion speed is calculated in milliseconds?"

The moment that demon core, which had nearly self-destructed, entered his throat, it was instantly subjected to the terrifying power of Super Devour, decomposed, and converted.

Let alone self-destructing, it didn't even make a splash before being completely absorbed.

He pulled up the System panel, happily watching the skyrocketing data.

[Current evolution points: 286000/128000]

[Attributes: Strength 15800, Agility 13500, Stamina 16800, Mental Energy 11200]

All attributes skyrocketed by over two thousand!

All attributes officially broke through the 10000-point mark!

The Mental Energy attribute also finally surged past ten thousand!

The evolution points had even overflowed by a full 158000 points!

[Godzilla: Dragon Emperor Devourer]'s perfect evolution conditions were all met!

Ling Tian clenched his claws excitedly, his eyes burning with intense flames.

Finally... he could step toward that new level of life!

Just then, a sound of air being torn apart came from afar.

Several figures were approaching the edge of the giant crater at an extremely fast speed.

Ling Tian looked up and saw Xia Youchu in the lead, stepping on a mysterious footwork, walking on the rugged and broken terrain as if it were flat ground.

Closely following her was General Qin Feng; this Peak Yuanhuang Rank expert had a grave expression, with Yuan power faintly circulating around him, prepared to fight at any moment.

Behind him were Vice-Captain Qin Hao, Lin Dong, and a few other elite soldiers from the legion.

They had been attracted by the earth-shattering commotion from just moments ago.

Xia Youchu rushed to the edge of the giant crater.

When she saw the terrifying scene below, with its diameter of dozens of miles and bottomless depth, even with her extensive experience from her past life, she couldn't help but gasp!

This place looked as if it had been hit head-on by an extraterrestrial meteorite!

No, even a meteorite impact wouldn't be this thorough!

Even the rocks and soil had been instantly vaporized and then cooled into glass!

"This... what is going on here?"

Vice-Captain Qin Hao opened his mouth wide, his eyes almost popping out. "I thought a Yuan Emperor had self-destructed just now. But this crater is too exaggerated; a Yuan Emperor's self-destruction wouldn't be this loud, right?"

Lin Dong and the others were also filled with shock. They could feel the heart-palpitating destructive aura remaining in the air; even the aftershocks made their Yuan power circulation somewhat sluggish.

General Qin Feng frowned, his Yuan Emperor-level Mental Energy suddenly spreading out, carefully probing every inch of space at the bottom of the crater.

He instantly sensed Ling Tian's aura, which, although somewhat chaotic, was rapidly recovering, and felt slightly relieved.

But immediately after, his expression became even graver.

Because he clearly sensed the residual aura of something else.

It belonged to the Peng Clan, and a Yuan Emperor-level Peng Clan member at that!

Although this aura was rapidly dissipating, he couldn't be wrong!

"A Yuan Emperor-level Peng Clan member fought here... or rather, fell here."

General Qin Feng spoke in a deep voice, his gaze like lightning as he scanned the bottom of the crater, finally landing on Ling Tian, who was slowly getting up. "Ling Tian, what happened just now? Where is the Yuan Emperor who fought you?"

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Ling Tian.

Ling Tian patted his belly and let out another burp, then lazily replied with his thoughts: "Right here."

Everyone was stunned.

Right here?

Where?

Then, everyone was shocked again, looking at Ling Tian's belly.

What do you mean? You ate that Yuan Emperor?

Vice-Captain Qin Hao blurted out subconsciously: "Are you talking nonsense? That's a Yuan Emperor! Even if it couldn't beat you, it should have been able to run away, right? Besides you, is there any other living thing around here? Was it shattered by you?"

He wasn't deliberately targeting Ling Tian; it was just that this matter was too inconceivable.

A Yuan Emperor!

That is an expert standing at the top of the Cultivation world, with tenacious vitality and numerous life-saving methods.

Even if they were outmatched, retreating in defeat was the norm. Being killed by an equal was extremely difficult, let alone being stopped by a War Beast in the Yuan King Realm?

This was simply a fantasy!

Ling Tian glanced at Vice-Captain Qin Hao, too lazy to explain.

The meaning was clear: eaten, digested, believe it or not.

Vice-Captain Qin Hao was choked by this look and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by General Qin Feng raising his hand.

General Qin Feng's perception was much sharper than Vice-Captain Qin Hao's. He carefully sensed the aura on Ling Tian that had not yet fully calmed down, as well as the residual aura of the Peng Clan Yuan Emperor rapidly dissipating at the bottom of the crater.

A shocking fact gradually formed in his mind.

That aura of the Peng Clan Yuan Emperor had no traces of leaving; it had suddenly disappeared!

Combined with the terrifying scene of the giant crater before him, and Ling Tian's state of having clearly just experienced a great battle yet being in the process of rapidly recovering and becoming stronger...

A conclusion that even he felt was absolutely absurd surfaced in his heart.

Could it be... that this War Beast had really, as a Yuan King, defied the odds to kill and devour a Yuan Emperor?!

Is this possible?

Yuan King and Yuan Emperor might seem to only be separated by one major Realm, but in reality, it is a chasm!

A Yuan King condenses Yuan power, masters the rudiments of a Domain, and can draw upon the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.

A Yuan Emperor entrusts their Mental Energy to the Void Realm, initially masters the rules, has a Major Achievement Domain, and with a single thought can trigger a hundred-mile Origin Qi tide!

Their vitality undergoes a qualitative change; regrowing severed limbs and healing fatal wounds are just trivial matters!

A Yuan Emperor, even if just entering the Yuan Emperor rank, can calmly deal with the siege of a hundred Peak Yuanhuang Rank experts, and even win!

This is the essential difference in life levels!

But now...

General Qin Feng's gaze toward Ling Tian changed completely.

It was no longer looking at a War Beast junior with huge potential, but carried a hint of gravity.

"General Qin, this place should not be stayed in for long."

Xia Youchu spoke up to break the silence. Although her heart was also in turmoil, she was more aware of the current situation. "The commotion just now was too great; it must have already alarmed the Peng Clan. We must leave immediately."

General Qin Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and nodded: "Correct. No matter what happened just now, we must return immediately and adjust our plans!"

He looked at Ling Tian: "Ling Tian, are you able to move? Do you need..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred!

Hum—!!!

A terrifying pressure, seemingly originating from the beginning of the Universe, erupted from within Ling Tian's body without warning!

Dark golden Destructive Yuan Power and magnificent Dragon Qi surged out wildly, intertwining and wrapping around, instantly completely enveloping Ling Tian's massive body!

The energy surged like a tsunami, forming a dark red giant cocoon with a diameter of over one hundred meters!

On the surface of the giant cocoon, patterns like blood vessels appeared, emitting a suffocating aura!

Inside the giant cocoon, Ling Tian's life aura was climbing and transforming at an incredible speed!

It was as if some extraordinary existence was being conceived and awakening!

"Is this a leap in life form?!"

"It is breaking through to the Yuan Emperor rank?!"

General Qin Feng's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in shock.

From Yuan King to Yuan Emperor, this is a leap in the essence of life!
