C7 Evolution Emeraldpatterned Poison Python

With that thought in mind, Zhang Lingfeng steadied his emotions and secured the core essence of the Green Blood Poison Vine into his System Backpack. He then shifted his path and delved deeper into the mountain range.

The battle with the colossal vine had caused quite a stir.

The Myriad Beasts Mountain Range was teeming with formidable Demonic Beasts.

To steer clear of danger, Zhang Lingfeng resolved to find a secure spot before consuming the two valuable items he had acquired.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Lingfeng's luck ran out as he stumbled upon a Demonic Beast drawn by the noise.

The creature was of the flying variety, not only peculiar in appearance but also massive in size, with a strength equivalent to a ninth-rank Demonic Soldier.

In the ensuing clash with the flying Demonic Beast, Zhang Lingfeng's ferocious combat prowess sent the beast fleeing in terror.

He hadn't intended to let the creature escape; it was simply that the beast's aerial agility and considerable strength made pursuit futile if it was determined to escape.

After the encounter, Zhang Lingfeng wasted no time and pressed on deeper into the mountain range.

An hour later, he found himself in a hidden, spacious cave, his immense form coiled within.

Next to him lay a slain wild boar Demonic Beast, a creature that had attained the level of a Fifth Grade Demonic Soldier.

Clearly, this cave had been the boar demon's den, but it was now commandeered by Zhang Lingfeng as a temporary refuge.

Devouring the wild boar yielded little increase in his cultivation or lifespan, which hardly surprised him.

He had long realized that to enhance his cultivation and extend his lifespan, he needed to consume Demonic Beasts or Spiritual Creatures of equal or greater level.

With a mere thought, the Xuanbai Ganoderma and the core essence of the Green Blood Poison Vine were retrieved from his System Backpack.

Suddenly, the cave was enveloped in a thick, enticing medicinal aroma.

"Ding! Xuanbai Ganoderma detected. Would you like to devour it?"

"Devour!"

"Ding! Devour successful. Energy points increased by 2500. Lifespan extended by 12 hours."

As the Ganoderma the size of a millstone vanished, Zhang Lingfeng could feel a surge in the Demonic Energy within him, growing wildly.

He accessed his attribute panel, eyes locked on the level indicator, and watched as the cultivation progress bar shot up by 1% increments.

Once the tumultuous Demonic Energy inside him settled, Zhang Lingfeng noted that his cultivation progress had reached 25%.

The energy within this second-tier Ganoderma was on par with that of dozens of first-tier Demon Cores.

Having advanced to a Level Nine Demonic Soldier, he knew breaking through to Level Ten would require a substantially larger energy influx than before.

But the true boon was the Ganoderma adding a full day to his lifespan—an unexpected delight.

Typically, slaying a demonic beast would net him a mere hour or half an hour of additional lifespan.

In recent days, it was only through relentless hunting that he had managed to accumulate over a month's worth of lifespan.

Next, Zhang Lingfeng utilized the Infinite Evolving System to consume the essence of the Green Blood Poison Spirit Vine.

"Ding! Core essence devoured successfully. Energy points increased by 6000. Poison Origin acquired."

"Ding! Poison Origin fusion complete. Congratulations, host, on your evolution."

With the sound of the crisp notification, Zhang Lingfeng noticed another transformation in his body, prompting a momentary pause.

This familiar force of Origin wasn't new to him.

As the Poison Origin merged, the black markings on his skin slowly shifted to a vibrant green.

Additionally, a poison sac began to form in his mouth, and beneath his scales, his skin developed a massive gland-like organ capable of infusing each scale with potent venom in an instant.

Originally non-venomous, the Black-Striped Python had now, with the integration of the Poison Origin, evolved into a venomous behemoth.

To test the potency of his new venom, Zhang Lingfeng captured a first-tier Demonic Soldier and injected the beast with venom from his sharpened fangs.

In the blink of an eye, the massive demonic beast collapsed to the ground, writhing and howling in agony as its flesh visibly corroded away.

Once the beast disintegrated into nothingness, the residual venom in its blood even managed to eat away at the ground, leaving a sizable pit behind. The sheer potency of the venom was evident from this alone.

Zhang Lingfeng was taken aback by this turn of events, yet he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. His combat prowess was already leagues ahead of other demonic beasts at his level. Now, with his venomous upgrade, dispatching his peers seemed like it would be a walk in the park.

Regaining his composure, Zhang Lingfeng turned his attention to his attribute panel to review his personal details:

Name: Zhang Lingfeng

Race: Green-Striped Poison Python

Lifespan: 41 days

Talent: Lower-tier

Level: Ninth Grade Demonic Beast [Demonic Soldier] (Cultivation Progress: 90%)

Strength: 1,000 Jin

Talent Ability: Wild Python Transformation (Passive, Cooldown: 1 month)

Robbery Abilities: Explosive Flame, Earth Armor, Poison Scale Dart

Items: None

Attributes: Fire, Earth, Poison

Energy Points: 0

Mission: Activate at Level 10

Upon inspection, Zhang Lingfeng discovered that he had evolved from a Black-Striped Python to a Green-Striped Poison Python. His cultivation progress had skyrocketed to 90% after absorbing the energy from two spiritual materials. This meant that with just a 10% increase, he would break through to the rank of a Level 10 Demonic Soldier.

His attributes weren't the only changes; Zhang Lingfeng noticed an additional ability had manifested—Poison Scale Dart. He realized that with a mere thought, he could launch every poisonous scale on his body like deadly projectiles. Such an unexpected assault would undoubtedly catch any foe off guard.

Moreover, his strength and other attributes had significantly improved after consuming the two spiritual materials.

But what truly captured Zhang Lingfeng's attention was the "mission" section of his panel. Previously, it had always read "none." However, now that he was on the cusp of a breakthrough, a mission was revealed, set to activate upon reaching Level 10. Zhang Lingfeng's curiosity was piqued by this mysterious new task.

Having reached the brink of a breakthrough, Zhang Lingfeng wasted no more time in the cave, eager to uncover the details of his mission. He set out to find his quarry.

As time slipped away, dusk enveloped the land.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

A series of shrill roars echoed from a spot on the outskirts of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Two massive pythons, each about ten meters long, locked eyes menacingly, as if sparks of battle were flying between them, creating an intensely chilling atmosphere.

Zhang Lingfeng watched the demonic beast before him with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

It was the third level 10 Demon Soldier he had come across since exiting the cave.

His cultivation progress bar now read 98%.

Devouring this fellow creature would instantly propel his cultivation to the level of a level 10 Demon Soldier.

And with that, the mysterious mission would likely be triggered.
