Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Think you can escape?

How could a duck that's reached the mouth fly away?

Lin Zichen paid no mind to the astonished gazes of the people below. Seeing the Black Phoenix suddenly turn to flee, a thought flashed through his mind, and he unleashed his spiritual power, transforming into a streak of light as he pursued.

Ahead.

The Black Phoenix, in full flight, felt a rush of relief.

How wise it was to flee decisively.

Not staying to engage in a head-on clash.

Otherwise, by now, it would likely have met the same fate as the celestial lion.

"What on Earth is up with that Earthling?"

"No alien race genes in his body."

"Not old in biological age."

"How is he capable of unleashing such formidable combat power?"

"The most outrageous part is that he can overpower Legendary Level creatures with his Epic Form. How does he do it?"

The Black Phoenix was utterly baffled.

The performance Lin Zichen had just displayed had completely exceeded her understanding.

Having lived in the Origin Land for so long, she had never seen such an anomalously powerful being.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a tremendous noise came from the direction of the Central Region, shaking the earth and ripping the air apart with countless tiny, visible fissures.

Following the sound of the explosion, the Black Phoenix's gaze landed on a sky-piercing giant tree in the Central Region, filled with both awe and puzzlement.

The awe was because the giant tree was the Wood God.

The puzzlement was because the Wood God had awakened prematurely.

"Why has the Wood God awakened early?"

"Has something happened?"

"Will the Fire God also awaken ahead of time?"

The Black Phoenix gazed at the giant tree far in the Central Region, thoughts racing in her mind.

While she was engrossed in her thoughts—

"Whizz!"

A sharply piercing sound of something tearing through the air suddenly came from behind her.

The nearby atmosphere exploded into chaos.

The roaring sound was incessant.

Hearing the commotion behind her, the Black Phoenix's face changed dramatically, with a look of horror spreading across her enchanting features as quickly as ivy.

How is it possible!

How could he possibly catch up!

My speed of flight ranks among the highest of all peers in the Origin Land!

What on earth is happening?!

"Whizz!"

"Whizz!!"

"Whizz!!!"

As the tearing sounds drew nearer, Lin Zichen was less than a kilometer away from the Black Phoenix.

This distance was enough to strike down the target with a punch.

But to ensure a one-hit kill, Lin Zichen chose not to strike just yet.

900 meters.

800 meters.

700 meters.

600 meters.

500 meters.

When the distance between them was only 500 meters—

Lin Zichen began to gather the Qi-Blood in his body, quickly channeling it to his right fist.

In a blink, a vast force of Blood Qi Power spread from his right fist.

Everywhere it passed, the air boiled.

The Black Phoenix, still fleeing at high speed, felt the overwhelming Blood Qi and was frightened until her face turned utterly pale.

The intensity of this Blood Qi Power was too great.

Far exceeding Second Order Legendary.

Her own Biological Level, at just Second Order Legendary, couldn't withstand such immense strength of Blood Qi Power.

She could foresee that if she were to take a punch from Lin Zichen, she would definitely end up like the celestial lion, her physical body exploding into a cloud of blood mist, with her spiritual power erased into nothingness and her soul obliterated.

With this thought, she didn't dare to hesitate for even a moment and decisively chose to give up resistance.

She knew she couldn't escape any longer.

So she simply stopped.

Transforming into a beautiful woman donned in a black palace dress.

Her appearance was stunning, with a hint of seductiveness.

Her figure was curvy and voluptuous, her perfectly formed curves alluring and tempting.

"Spare my life!"

"I am willing to be your female slave!"

"At your command!"

The Black Phoenix, now in the form of a beautiful woman, turned to face the pursuing Lin Zichen and shouted.

Her voice was earnest.

While speaking, she did not forget to flaunt her impressive upper body, attempting to seduce Lin Zichen.

She was a noble Black Phoenix, with the lineage of the Fire God and a naturally high status.

She thought, willing to become a female slave to an Earthling, there was no way any Earthling could resist.

Just as she was so certain of this—

"Whizz!"

Accompanied by a piercing tearing sound, Lin Zichen charged in front of the Black Phoenix, raised his fist charged with Blood Qi Power, and brutally punched toward her human form.

The Black Phoenix wore an expression of terror, not expecting Lin Zichen to be so merciless, willing to strike down a phoenix of such beauty.

"Boom!"

Soon, a loud explosion was heard.

The Second Order Legendary Black Phoenix was directly pulverized, along with her soul, into a crimson mist of blood.

Not even given a chance to recreate her flesh.

And thus, she fell.

Right up until the moment before her death, the Black Phoenix still couldn't comprehend how an Epic Level Earthling could overpower and kill a creature from the Origin Land?

...

In the sky above the city.

Ye Yongsheng was still clashing with a group of desperate city leaders, and the massive disturbance from their exchange continued unabated, shaking the ground below and tearing the air around with a multitude of fissures.

```Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Suddenly—

"Boom!"

Dozens of miles away from the city, in the dangerous zone, a terrifying loud noise erupted.

Ye Yongsheng and the leaders in the city were all alarmed by the noise and turned their heads to look in the direction from which it came.

What then appeared before their eyes was an expanse of dense Blood Qi Power bursting from the dangerous area, and in the sky above the dangerous area appeared signs of a Legendary Level Expert's fall.

Seeing the anomaly in the sky above the dangerous zone, whether it was Ye Yongsheng or the leaders in the city, their first thought was that the Black Phoenix had fallen.

Like the earlier fallen Eight-Winged Celestial Lion, it died at the hands of Lin Zichen.

Subsequently sending out spiritual power to sense, it indeed turned out to be just as they had thought, it was the Black Phoenix that had fallen.

Dead at the hands of Lin Zichen.

Without leaving a trace of remains.

Only a patch of crimson blood mist remained.

"That was a second-order Legendary creature with a hint of the Fire God's bloodline... To think it just died at the hands of Lin Zichen... What on earth is going on?"

Ye Yongsheng silently gazed at the dangerous area dozens of miles away, his face showing a mix of life's doubts, confusion, and sheer terror.

Lin Zichen's strength was incredibly incomprehensible.

Ye Yongsheng suspected that Lin Zichen had some unknown ancient heritage behind him, perhaps backed by an ancient being as powerful as the Five Elements God.

Otherwise, it was truly impossible to explain the astonishing combat power displayed by Lin Zichen.

...

Across from them.

The leaders in the city were also full of shock, unanimously turning their gaze towards the anomaly in the dangerous area, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Lin Zichen was an unprecedented evolutionary genius, of this they were aware.

He had evolved into a Rare Level creature within less than a year of arriving from Origin Land, crushed an entire team of Alien Human Level geniuses, and even Instructor Lan Tianbai was no match for him.

Moreover, he had many kinds of incredible special abilities.

He could control plants.

He could burrow into the ground.

He could completely conceal his vitality and so on.

In terms of biometric abilities, he was even more powerful than Genetic Integrators.

Lin Zichen, who had achieved all this before, had already broken everyone's recognition as a shocking evolutionary genius, stirring many old monsters.

However, today Lin Zichen's displayed strength far surpassed his previous performance.

To kill an Epic Level Creature was as simple as crushing ants, effortless.

Killing a first-order Legendary Level Eight-Winged Celestial Lion and a second-order Legendary Level Black Phoenix was also done in just one encounter.

Such strength, appearing in an Earthling who was still of college age, was simply inconceivable, puzzling.

This Lin Zichen... Did he have some unknown powerful ancient legacy?

The leaders in the city came to the same thought as Ye Yongsheng.

For the might Lin Zichen showed, they all thought of the same explanation.

Aside from this explanation, they could find no other more plausible reason.

In this world, there has never been strength without reason, nor geniuses without cause.

Every genius, if traced back to its roots, could be linked to some mysterious ancient bloodline.

The might of the Celestial Lion stemmed from the bloodline of its father, the Night King.

The might of the Black Phoenix stemmed from the bloodline of its ancestor, the Fire God.

The might of the Sea God came from the grace of its master, the Water God.

Based on the aforementioned patterns, Lin Zichen, at such a young age, could only be so mighty with the support of some ancient legacy.

```

Ye Yongsheng, the leader of the city, along with the other powerful figures present, all unanimously believed this.

...

High above the Central Region.

Countless vines surged skyward, occupying the entire sky.

A vast amount of highly toxic pollen spread through the air.

The dense branches and leaves covered the sky, plunging the entire Central Region into a cold shadow.

Qi Qingmo, the Sea God, Su Meixiao, Li Lao, Xuanyuan Wanyu, and Sima Xuan, these six Mythical Level Experts, were now trapped in this shadow, unable to escape.

Those who were usually invincible, were now utterly suppressed by the Wood God's powerful and dense attacks, with no ability to fight back.

The Wood God's rank had already surpassed that of the Mythical Level.

The six individuals, merely of Mythical Biological Level, even if they joined forces to resist with all their might, didn't stand even the slightest chance of victory.

"This won't do, if we continue like this, we will all fall here."

Su Meixiao frowned her delicate brows, speaking with extreme gravity, "We must find a way to escape, we can't keep resisting futilely."

Xuanyuan Wanyu mercilessly said, "We all know that, but the question is how do we escape from this shadow?"

Her tone was extremely impatient as she spoke.

Because she knew of Su Meixiao's nature to play multiple sides, she felt a heartfelt disgust towards Su Meixiao, the Fox Woman who did not adhere to the morals of a wife.

"Boom——!"

Suddenly, a huge commotion came from the direction of the Southern Domain in the sky.

All the living beings within the shadow looked towards the sky over the Southern Domain in unison.

Among them, Qi Qingmo, who followed the Pureblood Human Path, was the first to sense the Blood Qi Power emanating from over there.

A very familiar feeling.

It was the Blood Qi Power that she often absorbed.

It was Lin Zichen's Blood Qi Power.

What's going on?

How could his Blood Qi Power be so vigorous?

Qi Qingmo, feeling clearly the high level of Lin Zichen's Qi Blood Strength, frowned slightly, feeling quite puzzled in her heart.

She knew Lin Zichen was strong, with an Evolutionary Talent that was astonishing like none before.

But even with such a high Evolutionary Talent, it was impossible to evolve in such a short amount of time to the extent that he could kill a Legendary Level Creature.

What exactly is going on with this young man?

Qi Qingmo was very curious about this and eagerly wanted to know the answer.

While she was curious—

The Wood God, who had transformed into a towering tree, gazed into the distance towards the Southern Domain and murmured to himself, "The Child of the Abyss has also been born..."

...

The sky above the Southern Domain.

Lin Zichen, having successfully killed the Black Phoenix, gathered the surrounding blood mist with a thought, forming it into a dense Blood Sphere that floated serenely in his hand.

Then, with a thought: Devour!

[You have devoured a large amount of the "Black Breath Demon Phoenix's" Life Origin, obtaining the Biometric Attribute — Rebirth in Flames]

[Rebirth in Flames: In a fiery environment, you can be resurrected infinitely]

[You have devoured a vast amount of Origin Force from the Black Breath Demon Phoenix, converting it into Qi-Blood and spiritual power,]
