Mad God Evolution
Chapter 844 - 844 0800

844: Chapter 0800 844: Chapter 0800 Having successfully refined the Undying Worm King, even Lv Zhong, with his steady disposition, could not hide the wild joy in his heart.

He felt light all over, utterly content.

In the hierarchy of the Insect Clan, Lv Zhong’s refinement of the Undying Worm King meant that the Undying Worms were essentially under his control.

With the addition of the Undying Worm army, Lv Zhong’s strength increased countless times over.

He believed that, should he encounter someone from the Immortal World or Netherworld again, just the Undying Worms alone could contend with them.

Through communication with the Undying Worm King, Lv Zhong gained a deeper understanding of the Hongmeng Dragon Tomb.

Inside the Hongmeng Dragon Tomb, there were not only other living creatures but quite a few of them.

According to the Undying Worms, this vast space of the Dragon Tomb was home to at least ten native species.

The Undying Worms were one such species, and there were also mysterious plants and other creatures.

However, the Undying Worms did not crave any of the native creatures, since there seemed to be a repulsion amongst them that instinctively prevented them from infringing upon each other.

What was even more amazing was that these native creatures rarely consumed the bodies of Ancient Ferocious Beasts that had fallen in this space.

Otherwise, given the strength of these natives, even if the bodies of these Ancient Ferocious Beasts were tough and decay-resistant, they would have been digested by creatures like the Undying Worms.

Yet, when it came to other creatures that entered this space, not only the Undying Worms but also any other creature had an instinctive desire to kill, showing no prohibitions against foreign beings.

Even more so, consuming these foreign beings seemed to become an instinct for both their bodies and souls.

“Could there really be such a strange phenomenon?” Knowing this, Lv Zhong smacked his lips, his face filled with disbelief.

Obviously, the subconscious instincts of native creatures like the Undying Worms were not accidental, but man-made!

Otherwise, it would not be possible for all native beings to have such a blatant and strong desire for foreign creatures.

It had to be certain and deliberate!

Lv Zhong initially thought that someone had secretly planted a powerful Secret Technique like the Soul Seed Mirror inside the native creatures like the Undying Worms, so he carefully searched inside the soul of the Undying Worm King.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

Unable to find any clues, Lv Zhong was not willing to give up and continued searching inside other Undying Worms, sadly to no avail.

Since he could not find any clues, Lv Zhong had to set aside his doubts for the time being.

**********************

After stepping out of the Great Annihilation Pearl, Lv Zhong resumed his frantic journey.

During this time, however, he didn’t expend much effort on his own but instead activated the Gravity Law Pattern and applied the Anti-Gravity Technique to himself, letting the Undying Worms carry him as he flew invisibly.

As strong native Alien Insects, the Undying Worms had lived in this space for an infinite number of years and had an extremely strong adaptability to the space of the Dragon Tomb.

Their divine powers and special abilities to control air pressure allowed them to fly through this space with ease.

With a large number of “mounts” for transportation, Lv Zhong did not spare the strength of the Undying Worms.

When one tired out, another would take over, and thus, his speed increased terrifyingly.

Along the way, he secretly harvested a great number of Fierce Beasts’ bodies, Magical Treasures, and Artifact Refinement materials, inching ever closer to the final destination—the Primordial Dragon’s Tomb.

The closer he got to the endpoint, the higher the level of the fallen Ancient Ferocious Beasts.

By then, he was no longer encountering Ancient Ferocious Beasts of the Profound Immortal level but commonly those of the Daluo Golden Immortal level, and Lv Zhong even managed to obtain the body of a super Fierce Beast of the Ancient Immortal level.

Ancient Immortal level Fierce Beasts were in the realm just below Quasi-Sage.

By the division of strength of Ancient Ferocious Beasts, they were powerful existences on the level of Demon Saints.

For example, from the era of the Eastern Emperor, the ten great Demon Saints Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, Qin Yuan, Zi Tie, Gui Che, and others.

Though the Ancient Immortal level Fierce Beasts had perished, their bodies still contained a powerful and innate force of will.

Ordinary people, without a strong and pure Soul Energy, simply could not resist this innate will; and without a high-grade Spatial Magic Item, even if someone could withstand the dreadful will force contained within their bodies, they could not collect them at all.

However, Lv Zhong possessed a top-tier Spirit Refining Technique, the Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique of the Vast World, and he had even cultivated this technique to the initial level of the eighth layer, making his soul purer than that of ordinary Golden Immortals.

Coincidentally, Lv Zhong also had a Chaos Level Spatial Magic Item in his hands.

Combined with his strength, Lv Zhong, exhausted to the point of collapsing, barely managed to collect the body of the Ancient Immortal level Fierce Beast.

“Damn it, even collecting the body of a fallen Ancient Immortal is so difficult; if I were to face a living Ancient Immortal, wouldn’t they be able to obliterate me with a flick of their finger?” Shaking his head with lingering fears, Lv Zhong rested inside the Great Annihilation Pearl, using the time overlay effect to recover before setting off again.

In the following few days, Lv Zhong’s progress slowed because he was infinitely close to the valley where the Primordial Dragon’s Tomb was located, which reduced the scope of movement for everyone, naturally resulting in more people appearing nearby.

After Lv Zhong enhanced his sensing abilities with the omnipresent “Undying Worms,” he discovered that within a five-thousand-kilometer radius, sixteen people had already appeared.

Among them, seven were from the Immortal World, and nine were powerful beings from the Netherworld.

All of the sixteen were Golden Immortals, though their strengths varied significantly.

Some were early-stage Golden Immortals, some were mid-stage or late-stage, and as for peak-stage Golden Immortals, there were only two—one from each world.

What was strange was that these sixteen Golden Immortals were all gathered together, surrounding the body of a gigantic ancient fierce beast that was two thousand zhang long.

There was neither combat nor the tense atmosphere of a looming confrontation.

Instead, the two groups eerily coexisted in peace, enthusiastically discussing the body of the ancient fierce beast.

There was no standoff.

“Sixteen people?

That many?

Who knows how many from the Immortal World and the Netherworld have been dispatched this time?” Lv Zhong murmured to himself, feeling a bit puzzled, “Why are they all Golden Immortals?

There’s not a single Heaven Immortal or anyone above the level of Profound Immortal?”

Regarding the Golden Immortals, although Lv Zhong was slightly wary after collecting the “Undying Worms” and significantly increasing his strength, he did not take them too seriously.

What he really feared were the strong beings above the level of Profound Immortals.

If a being of this level had truly entered the Primordial Dragon’s Tomb this time, then they would pose the greatest threat to him.

“The Immortal World and Netherworld beings meet and stumble upon such a top-tier body of an ancient fierce beast, and they’re this peaceful?” Lv Zhong couldn’t understand it.

He observed everything from afar quietly.

The strong beings of the Immortal World and Netherworld afar did not possess Lv Zhong’s ability to augment their Immortal Sense with the sensing power of their subordinates’ Alien Insects.

In this space, Immortal Sense was greatly suppressed, and their sensing abilities barely maintained a reach of 200 to a little over a thousand kilometers.

Even the strongest peak-stage Golden Immortals couldn’t have “broad” sensing ranges like Lv Zhong, so naturally, they could not detect him.

“Eh, that…

that is…” Lv Zhong’s attention settled on the body of the two-thousand-zhang giant beast at the center of the two groups, his face shocked.

Ancient Immortal!

It was another body of an ancient fierce beast at the Ancient Immortal level!

However, this particular body of an Ancient Immortal beast was even more powerful than the one Lv Zhong had previously acquired, which had left him nearly exhausted.

The horrifying aura emanating from that body caused even Lv Zhong to feel a strong sense of terror.

This…

this was the body of a peak-stage Ancient Immortal beast!

It was the body of a beast just one level below a Quasi-Sage in strength!

“Such a powerful Ancient Immortal has fallen?”

Lv Zhong’s face was filled with shock, and a deep sense of wariness towards the Primordial Dragon’s Tomb suddenly grew in his heart—profound wariness.

“This Phoenix was definitely extremely powerful in life.

It’s a pity it has fallen.

Otherwise, by now, it would at least be a super-strong being of the Demon Race at the Quasi-Sage level…” The peak-stage Golden Immortal from the Netherworld resisted the outburst of wild and vicious aura from the Phoenix’s body, shook his head silently, and said with regret.

On the other side, the peak-stage Golden Immortal from the Immortal World also looked somber, “Indeed, it’s a pity!

Such a formidable Phoenix body, and I can’t collect it.”

After scoffing at the peak-stage Golden Immortal of the Immortal World, the peak-stage Golden Immortal of the Netherworld didn’t bother with the Immortal World beings any longer and waved to the several Golden Immortals behind him, “Let’s go.

We can’t collect this Phoenix body.

We should look for bodies of fierce beasts at other levels…”

“Yes!” The other eight from the Netherworld glanced at the Phoenix body, which was nearly at the Quasi-Sage level, with regret, and left reluctantly, heading further away.

“Forget it!

Let’s go too!

It’s such a pity that the Immortal Emperor didn’t lend us his high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure-level Universal Ring; otherwise, there might have been a chance to take this Phoenix body with us…” Sighing slightly, the Immortal World beings also quickly left in frustration, for they didn’t want the Netherworld beings to gain an advantage and acquire more bodies of ancient fierce beasts.

Once both groups had disappeared, Lv Zhong quickly rushed to the scene.

The closer he got to the body of the Phoenix beast, the stronger the wild and terrifying Sha Qi became.

Approaching within a thousand meters of the Phoenix body, Lv Zhong was already sweating profusely.

The unruly and fierce aura, derived from the primordial wilderness, assaulted Lv Zhong’s soul fiercely through his eyes.

At this moment, the 6th Grade Golden Lotus and the Green Lotus Flower Crown emitted gold and green rays of light, helping Lv Zhong resist the intense vicious aura, allowing him to get much better and continue moving forward.

He observed the body of the ancient Phoenix that had already fallen from a close distance.

“A peak-stage Ancient Immortal beast’s body, I wonder if it can be collected into the ‘Great Annihilation Pearl’?” Lv Zhong felt a surge of excitement and quickly manipulated the vast space power of the ‘Great Annihilation Pearl’ to forcefully try to collect the enormous body of the Phoenix.

An earth-shattering, tyrannical will suddenly surged from the Phoenix’s body, and boundless defiance and anger rose around the space, strongly resisting the space power of the ‘Great Annihilation Pearl.’

“Pff…”

The overwhelming pulling force transmitted from the ‘Great Annihilation Pearl’ made it very difficult for Lv Zhong, who was already struggling to persist under the terrifying pressure of this space, to hold on.

The sudden increase in the Phoenix’s fierce will directly caused Lv Zhong to suffer a violent backlash, making him spit out a mouthful of blood.
