Chapter 1154 - Evolution (1/2)

mana ran through the limbless body lin yun wasn’t very accustomed to and abyssal runes slowly appeared on the surface of his extremely ugly body. then, these abyssal runes covered in black smoke devoured lin yun’s mana and rapidly transformed into a pitch-black cocoon.

the abyssal magic bug’s aura thoroughly dissipated and only the aura of a new life slowly being born remained.

not far outside the cavern, a reaper moving towards the cavern suddenly stopped. a doubtful expression could be seen on his face. his nose sniffed the air, but the delicious scent he had found had disappeared, replaced by a dangerous aura.

the reaper rubbed the two arms that turned into blades and, after a moment of hesitation, turned to chase another prey.

the black smoke cocoon scattered an indescribable aura. the abyssal lifeforms approaching the cave couldn’t help feeling danger before turning to chase other prey.

as he was undergoing rebirth, lin yun’s consciousness also became dizzy once more.

on this rainy night, a hundred and sixty kilometers away, a two-meter-tall evil bone demon crawled out of a flaming cavern.

the evil bone demon’s body didn’t have a bit of flesh, it was like an undead whose bones were burning. a torrential rain poured down from the sky but completely evaporated within a hundred meters from the cavern.

that terrifying heat stopped all water from appearing there. the evil bone demon sized its own body and then grinned.

“damn, i was hunted down by an evil bone demon before, but i hadn’t expected to reincarnate into one….

“it’s truly a powerful lifeform, it’s a lot stronger than our bronze beastmen, that body is inherently stronger than all bronze beastmen, it possesses those terrifying bone-corrosive black flames and is already level 20 at birth.

“no wonder there is such a high chance of overlords appearing among evil bone demons. it’s deserving of high level demons with outstanding bloodlines.

“mafa merlin reincarnated in an ugly abyssal magic bug, he should have already died, right? haha, such an unlucky guy. that abyssal magic bug would be treated as food by any abyssal blood crow.

“it also seems to have a pretty good flavor, so unlucky. it’s unfortunate that he already died, but even if he didn’t, i’ll still be able to crush his head…”

steer was pretty lucky, he reincarnated as an evil bone demon and had just been born at level 20. as his level increased, he would reach adulthood at level 30 and the probability of advancing to level 40 was pretty high.

steer left the cavern and walked in the torrential rain. those raindrops were evaporating within five meters of his body. after moving a hundred meters away, steer discovered an abyssal magic bug in the middle of a river. he grabbed it and devoured it in one bite.

then, steer grinned.

“the flavor is really good, this can be considered a rare delicacy in the abyss. haha, this could have been that unlucky mafa merlin i just devoured…”

the souls of the twenty heaven rank human powerhouses and beastman powerhouses had been reborn in this vast abyss’ world.

cross had been reincarnated as an armored steel demon. at birth, he had to fight with three armored steel demons he shared his birthday with and treaded over their corpses as he left the ore cavern he was born in.

clombton was standing on a mountain’s peak. he had turned into a black light demon and took advantage of the night time to devour the surrounding dark radiance.

dedale was born inside a volcano and was wrapped in endless lava as he turned into an ordinary small flame demon. his body was filled with lava and berserk flame power kept surging.

dubois reincarnated as an abyssal lightning eagle and endured his rumbling stomach to fly through the heavy rain, wanting to use this newborn body to hunt for prey and fill his belly.

birbo was born in a forge in a steel fortress, her surroundings were filled with rich shadow energy. after being born, the shadow power immediately poured into her body. she was relatively lucky as she didn’t reincarnate in the countryside, but rather, she reincarnated in a family of shadow demons.

here, the shadow demons were serving the master of that steel fortress, a tyrannical ruler.

every powerhouse successfully reincarnated, and with the soul of a heaven rank powerhouse, they wouldn’t die during their youth. the predators living around them wouldn’t be able to get rid of these powerhouses.

a heaven rank powerhouse, even if their soul had been reincarnated as a weak pig beastman, they could still get rid of abyssal lifeform six or seven levels higher.

night slowly progressed, and the torrential rain that poured like a sea disappeared within three hours.

the dried up land became moist and the huge abyssal plants started taking advantage of this opportunity to grow. there was a large number of terrifying predators amidst those plants, and they were spread over the ground, invisible to most. but when their prey walked over the ground, the deep brown earth would rapidly be stained by blood.

a five-meter-big huge plant with sharp teeth rapidly drew closer and dragged the coiled prey underground.

wood vines with delicate rhizomes were growing all over. as long as a prey could endure the temptation, those extremely quiet vines would instantly transform into terrifying snakes which forcibly dragged the victims inside the forest to devour him.

this layer of the abyss had extremely long nights, seven hours passed, but only half of the night had passed and the slaughter continued.

a peculiar aura was scattered in lin yun’s cavern, it was a kind of power that belonged to demons. the radiance of that pitch-black cocoon slowly scattered and those black smoke abyssal runes also disappeared without a trace while cracks appeared on the cocoon.

not far outside the cavern, an eight-meter-long black alligator with eight legs seemed to have smelled something, it then immediately gave up on chasing the bristle beast it was after and charged towards lin yun’s cavern.

the alligator’s eight legs frequently flickered as it fiercely charged into the entrance of the cavern. that fifty-centimeter-big entrance was simply too small for it. greediness flashed in its eyes as four sharp claws grabbed at the entrance’s rock.

those rocks were just like sand under the claw of the alligator, they rapidly turned into pieces.

soon, an almost two-meter-wide hole at appeared at the entrance of the cave. the alligator grinned as it frantically rushed into the cavern, its huge mouth tearing at the surroundings’ rocks to expand the passage.

after three minutes, half of the eight-legged alligator’s ultimately broke into the cavern. at this time, it also saw the cracked pitch-black cocoon. black smoke had already disappeared from the big cocoon. the big cocoon looked like bark as it withered.

the eight-legged alligator roared and the sound spread. the entire cavern shuddered as that pitch-black cocoon broke open, exposing a 1.5-meter-tall imp. the small imp closed his eyes and dense abyssal power curled around his body. he had become a level 15 imp.

the eight-legged alligator became even more crazy, saliva dripped from its mouth like a waterfall. imp were the favorite prey of eight-legged alligators, they could devour them in one bite and they carried dense abyssal power. to an eight-legged alligator, this was the equivalent of a great supplement.

not to mention, the imp before his eyes was a level 15 imp who was somehow slumbering.

lin yun regained consciousness and immediately noticed the rotting smell. he opened his eyes and saw the big maw of an eight-legged alligator crazily pouncing towards him. those eight claws were frantically tearing apart the surrounding rocks that stopped him from going forward.

looking at his own body, lin yun sighed. being able to evolve into an imp at level 15 was quite fortunate. after all, imps were considered demons, even if demons didn’t acknowledge them as part of the demon races.

it was because imps’ bodies were too weak compared to demons. apart from their casting abilities, imps’ physique was terrible compared to demons of the same level, they were just as weak as scarecrows.

looking at the eight-legged alligator, lin yun slowly raised his hand and fluently chanted in the sinister abyssal language.
