Free Web NovelChapter 531: Chapter 529: Evolution Complete, A Major Upgrade for All Skills?
’My Race changed again?’
’Primordial Saint Mosquito... Could it be related to the Ancient Times?’
He read on:
[Lifespan: 3,000 years]
[Qi Blood: 18,000,000 (King Realm Early Stage)]
[Mental Power: 18,000,000 (King Realm Early Stage)]
[Evolution Points: 826,933]
’Holy crap!’
Even though Chu Sheng had braced himself, he was still taken aback.
Relying on his Level 99 God-devouring Needle, he had actually managed to absorb a full eight million-plus Qi Blood Power from the Celestial Tribulation in just sixty seconds.
His Mental Power wasn’t shabby either. After being automatically replenished by his Divine Level Divine Soul Power, it also reached the same eighteen million.
Furthermore, because the Energy absorbed by the Level 99 God-devouring Needle was extremely pure, it could be digested almost perfectly... As a result, the Evolution Points gained after digestion also totaled over eight million.
’I’ve never been this rich before!’
’Looks like upgrading the God-devouring Needle further is an absolute must!’
Chu Sheng was now at the King Realm, and the higher the realm, the more resources were required.
For instance, advancing from the King Realm Early Stage to the Emperor Realm (one hundred million Qi Blood) required a staggering ninety million Qi Blood!
If he tried to absorb those ninety million Qi Blood with a Level One God-devouring Needle, there was no telling how long it would take.
At the same time,
the demands on Chu Sheng’s constitution were also growing higher and higher.
Aside from certain exceptionally pure or special types of Energy that didn’t need to be digested, Chu Sheng still needed time to digest ordinary Essence Blood or Energy.
The better his constitution, the higher the upper limit of what he could absorb at once, and the stronger his digestive ability.
In fact, a large portion of the Celestial Tribulation’s power he had just absorbed was used to reform Chu Sheng’s constitution.
Chu Sheng didn’t know what the current upper limit of his constitution was. He’d have to find a chance to test it properly.
[Alert: The next full evolution requires one hundred million Qi Blood and one hundred million Mental Power.]
...
After reviewing his basic stats, it was time for the main event—the Skills tab!
However, the moment Chu Sheng took a look, he was utterly dumbfounded.
His original Skills, especially the system’s leveled Skills, were almost all gone—except for the God-devouring Needle!
’No, that’s not right. They’ve all been upgraded and transformed!’
[Current Leveled Skills are as follows:]
[God-devouring Needle Lv. 30, Primordial Mother Nest Lv. 20, Chaos True Sight Lv. 20, Silent Extinction Flame Feather Lv. 20, Five Elements Saint Armor Lv. 20, Primordial Mind Stabilizing Spell Lv. 20, Origin Pressure Lv. 20, Ten Thousand Insects Avatar Lv. 20]
All the Skills had new names. They had also been upgraded by at least five levels, all of them now at Level 20.
It wasn’t just the names that changed.
Their abilities had also been upgraded accordingly.
For example, Chaos True Sight, the upgrade of Nether Vision, had greatly enhanced perceptive abilities and could no longer be so easily blocked by Mental Power.
Or take the Five Elements Saint Armor, the upgrade of the Nether Flame Battle Armor. Its single Fire Element Defense Power had been upgraded to an enhancement of all five elemental resistances.
And then there was the Ten Thousand Insects Avatar.
Before the upgrade, this Skill was Ten Thousand Insects Substitute. While the name change to Ten Thousand Insects Avatar was subtle, the difference in ability was night and day.
Ten Thousand Insects Substitute was a defensive Skill that could help Chu Sheng endure damage.
To be honest, Chu Sheng rarely used this ability because he couldn’t bear to... Using his hard-won, upgraded Insect Beasts to block damage was just too wasteful!
But now, the upgraded Ten Thousand Insects Avatar had an additional ability.
Chu Sheng could now plant a sliver of his Divine Soul Power into one of his Insect Beasts. Afterwards, he could descend his consciousness into that Insect Beast at any time, and even use some of his abilities through it.
And so on... As for the specific ability enhancements for each Skill, Chu Sheng would have to wait until actual combat to better understand them.
Next, Chu Sheng opened his list of No Level Skills.
[Primitive Form, Primordial Grotto Heaven, Amaterasua’s Eye, Boundless Wings, Celestial Thunder Illusion, Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison, Realm-Breaking Claw, Earth Prison Technique, Wood Dragon Technique, Water Mirror Gate, Five Elements Body, Time Reincarnation, Third Form, Blood Shadow Clone...]
’Huh?’
’This time... there are no new Skills?’
’Could it be that the focus of this upgrade wasn’t on Skills, but on my physical constitution?’
Chu Sheng looked over the list several times but still couldn’t find any new Skills.
In fact, one Skill was missing!
’What the-?’
’Where’s my [Lifebound Space]? Why is it gone?!’
’I had a lot of good stuff stored in there!’
’Wait!’
’[Lifebound Space] is gone, but now there’s a [Primordial Grotto Heaven]?’
’Judging by the name, is it also a space-type Skill?’
’Could this Primordial Grotto Heaven be an upgrade of my Lifebound Space?’
Chu Sheng subconsciously opened the Primordial Grotto Heaven... As expected, it was a spatial Skill!
But it was completely different from his original Lifebound Space!
His old Lifebound Space was a moderately sized area. Aside from a special five-cubic-meter zone, it wasn’t all that different from a Storage Ring.
But now...
First of all, the Space had gotten bigger!
This Primordial Grotto Heaven was a vast, gray, hazy space. Chu Sheng used his consciousness to gauge its size. It was about... a hundred zhang in radius?
’No, it’s even bigger than that.’
A gray mist filled the air, but as the master of this space, Chu Sheng could clearly perceive that its boundaries were still slowly expanding.
It was like a small world that had just been created and had not yet fully taken shape.
And then,
the most shocking thing of all happened!
He actually discovered a patch of land within this space.
Real, genuine land, made of soil just like in the real world! It wasn’t large, only a few zhang in radius, but it was real.
Chu Sheng stared, stunned.
He saw the items from his original Lifebound Space—Elixirs, the Candle of Time and Space, and other things—all neatly arranged on this patch of land, as if they had been casually piled there during a move.
Then, he looked at the farthest corner of the land.
In the corner, there was a blade of grass.
It was tiny, with just two tender green leaves, standing all alone in the vast, gray world.
...
Chu Sheng was completely dumbfounded.
Storage spaces couldn’t contain living things.
Even in the special zone of his previous Lifebound Space, living things would enter a state of absolute stasis upon entry.
But now, this place was like a real, miniature world, and a real, living organism was surviving inside it!
’You’ve got to be kidding me!’
’Did my own wild idea actually come true?’
’My Lifebound Space? Is it really turning into a Little Universe?’
This small world right now, while still a far cry from being a true ’universe,’ could already be called a ’small world’ without exaggeration.
’But... how is this possible?’
’My Spatial Realm didn’t improve that much during this full evolution!’
Besides, forming such a small world, or a grotto-heaven... it definitely wasn’t something that could be achieved with just the Spatial Realm alone.
Even an Emperor Realm expert’s Emperor Realm Power wasn’t a true world, but merely an evolution of domain rules.
Chu Sheng knew his own limits. His current Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Laws was nowhere near enough to meet this condition.
So, what on earth happened?
Chu Sheng didn’t let the joy of obtaining this new world go to his head.
He decisively started scrolling through his system’s message log... Something unexpected must have happened during his evolution.
It was just like during his eighth evolution, when he had inexplicably comprehended the Time Realm.
What happened this time?
As Chu Sheng scrolled up through the log, he quickly found his answer.
