73: Chapter 73 Evolution Successful! Hyperdimensional Fission Explosion!!

"Hahaha! What a massive Opportunity! What a massive stroke of fortune!"

The Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape couldn't help but let out a low, wild laugh that echoed through the valley.

"Royal Bloodline! It's definitely a Royal Bloodline! But... is it actually from the Dragon Clan?"

The Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape felt the fluctuations in its stomach, its expression one of astonishment.

It really found it hard to associate Ling Tian's appearance with a True Dragon.

But it didn't matter.

From now on, it was also a Yao Beast that had eaten a Dragon!

Perhaps it could even leave a line in future history: The Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape fed upon a True Dragon!

The more it thought about it, the more smug it felt.

"Hmph! Those fools in Cloud City, and those two idiots from the Myriad Beast Pavilion, must think I ran away because I was scared! They don't know jack!"

"This is called a strategic relocation!"

It seemed to already see a bright future where, after devouring and refining Ling Tian's Bloodline Origin, it would achieve a Breakthrough to become a Yao Emperor and dominate the region.

"However..."

Its laughter gradually ceased, and a hint of caution flashed in its eyes.

"The Human Race is the most vengeful, especially that little girl named Xia Youchu; her gaze is fierce, not to mention her old man, a Yuan King... They definitely won't let this go."

"Although I don't fear them, being watched by flies is quite annoying. Besides, refining a Royal Bloodline requires absolute silence; I cannot be disturbed..."

It rubbed its chin, its massive eyeballs rolling.

"Should I run even further? Go deep into the Black Wind Mountain Range? There are many Great Demon Kings there, and the environment is complex; even if a Yuan Emperor from the Human Race comes, they would have to think twice..."

It began to scheme more devious ideas.

As for Ling Tian in its stomach?

It never even considered that the opponent could still be alive.

Are you kidding? It was at the Peak of the Great Demon King!

The corrosive power of its gastric juices could melt even refined iron!

Not to mention it had used its Yao power to accelerate digestion!

Even if that guy had a Royal Bloodline, having been swallowed while completely unguarded, by now, even his bone fragments should have dissolved!

Perhaps he had already become nutrients for its Breakthrough!

It even let out a satisfied belch and patted its belly: "Little guy, rest easy and become the stepping stone for me to reach the Peak; this is your hon..."

"Burp—"

Before it could finish, the Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape suddenly felt a strange squirming sensation in its abdomen.

It froze for a moment and looked down at its round belly.

An illusion?

It must have been from running too fast just now, causing a stitch.

It didn't pay much attention and continued planning its route to the Black Wind Mountain Range.

But soon, that squirming sensation came again!

This time, it was even clearer!

And it was accompanied by a burning sensation?

It was like it was carrying a small furnace inside its stomach!

"Hmm?"

The Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape frowned, and a foreboding premonition quietly emerged.

"What's going on? Could that brat not be dead yet?"

That's impossible!

It concentrated its Mental Energy and looked inside its own body.

When its gaze fell upon its stomach, the entire ape froze!

It saw that inside its stomach space, which was capable of melting gold and iron, a terrifying figure was enveloped in jet-black energy so thick it couldn't be dispersed!

Not only was that figure not being digested, but the energy fluctuations it radiated were several times stronger than when it had first been swallowed!

Those black energies filled with Destructive Yuan Power were even actively eroding its stomach wall! Sending waves of stinging pain and burning sensations!

"This... this is impossible!!!"

The Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape let out a roar of sheer terror!

It couldn't believe its eyes!

This guy not only didn't die, but actually... actually completed an evolution inside its stomach?!

What kind of monster is this?!

Are its gastric juices just for show?!

...

Meanwhile, inside the stomach space of the Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape.

Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of black light flickered and vanished.

Feeling the surging, brand-new power within his body, he satisfiedly stretched his limbs.

Crack! Pop!

The sound of bones popping rang out like roasting beans, and as his claws struck his chest, it emitted a metallic clanging sound!

Evolution complete!

With a thought, he pulled up his System panel:

[Host: Ling Tian]

[Race: Godzilla (Juvenile · True Dragon Bloodline Awakening)]

[Rank: Juvenile Tier 8 (Yao King · Yuan Spirit)]

[Evolution Points: 50/64000]

[Attributes: Strength 2560, Agility 2865, Stamina 3520, Mental Energy 2485]

[Talent: Devour (Advanced)]

[Skills: Atomic Fission Breath (Advanced), Destruction Monarch (Special · Dragon Might Boost), Gravity Control (Intermediate), Void Dragon Swimming Technique (Introductory)]

[Traits: [Foundation of Nine Transformations (Gold)], [Treasury of the King (Gold)], [Heavy (Gold)], [Dragon Transformation (Activated, next stage requires Dragon Source: 802/1000)]]

[Passive Skills: Poison Resistance (Advanced), Hard Skin (Advanced), Super-Powered Armor (Advanced), Ripping Bite (Advanced), Energy Perception (Intermediate), Crystallized Skin (Intermediate), Golden Bloodline (Elementary), Bone Armor (Elementary), True Dragon Reverse Scale (Special)]

Looking at the brand-new panel, Ling Tian felt exhilarated.

Reaching Juvenile Tier 8 brought about comprehensive improvements!

His size grew another circle, reaching a height of seven meters.

His weight surged, hitting around 30 tons!

His scales also became thicker and more ferocious, shifting from pure black to a dark gold luster, filled with a sense of power.

The [Heavy (Gold)] trait brought his physical defense to a monstrous level.

[Ding! Detected that the Host possesses the special trait [Foundation of Nine Transformations (Gold)]. After this evolution, you may select one body part for additional strengthening and transformation.]

[Please select: Skin / Skeleton / Muscle / Internal Organs (must specify specific organ) / Senses / Energy Core / Fangs / Lower Limbs...]

Without any hesitation, Ling Tian once again selected [Energy Core]!

[Selection confirmed! Beginning additional strengthening and transformation of the Energy Core!]

Hum—!

The [Atomic Furnace] in his chest underwent a massive transformation once again!

Its structure became heavier, and its volume expanded by nearly double!

More profound runes appeared on the inner walls of the furnace, as if containing the ultimate truths of the birth and death of the Universe!

The efficiency of devouring and converting Yuan Power increased by several times over!

Furthermore, he naturally comprehended a new active skill—[Super-Yuan Fission Blast]!

Compressing Destructive Yuan Power highly either outside or inside the body, then detonating it instantly to create a terrifying area-of-effect explosion!

Simple, brutal, and peerlessly powerful!

"Not bad, not bad! Now I have another trump card!" Ling Tian felt pleasant.

Then, he turned his attention to his current environment.

Surrounded by squirming meat walls, it emitted a nauseating, sour, rotten odor.

"Tsk, this stupid monkey really did swallow me."

For most Yao Beasts, the inside is often more fragile than the outside.

Only a freak like Ling Tian would have a stomach with stronger defense than his skin!

He had deliberately revealed a flaw and entered deep evolution, indeed with the intention of baiting the opponent into attacking and then seizing the Opportunity for a counter-kill.

But he had expected the opponent to attack or try to capture him; he hadn't expected this guy to be so reckless, just swallowing him in one gulp!

This actually worked out well, saving him the effort of rushing over; he was delivered right to the doorstep, deep behind enemy lines.

"Since I'm already here..."

Ling Tian grinned wide, revealing a ferocious smile, "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

He stomped his foot violently!

Boom!!

The terrifying weight brought by [Heavy (Gold)], combined with his strength that had skyrocketed after the evolution, stomped fiercely onto the stomach wall of the Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape!
