Chapter 662 Evolution! X-level life form!

Li Ming stood up, stretched his limbs, and pulled the energy particles that were disintegrated from the energy fragments, and then rolled up a vortex and moved around his body.

"It's only been five or six years since I became an S-class life form..." Li Ming couldn't help but recall that when he fused the S-class gene seed, the enemy he fought against was the Imperial Prince Ryan.

"I guess the prince can now pee three feet high in the wind."

If word of this terrifying evolution speed were to get out, I wonder how many people would be shocked.

Under normal circumstances, even if the development potential of an S-level life form is extremely high, it is difficult to reach 100% development progress without seven or eight hundred years.

The reason why he was able to develop so quickly was, on the one hand, due to the blessing of the Evolution Source, and on the other hand, the other major contributor was naturally the Star of Eternal Silence.

Li Ming stretched out his hand, and silently, the X-level Taegos gene seed appeared in his hand.

"Hmm... I don't know what will happen during the evolution process, so let's change the place..."

After thinking about it, Li Ming did not carry out high-risk life-level evolution in his own nest.

He went to the star gate, picked a node at random and popped out.

"This is it..." Li Ming landed on a barren planet. The ochre desert stretched to the end of his sight. As far as his eyes could see, circular craters covered the earth.

A choking gale blew in his face, carrying countless fine sands. The huge wind force pulled everything on the surface, but gradually dissipated not far from Li Ming's body.

Li Ming took out the gene seed again and made all preparations.

He sat cross-legged on the ground with his arm stretched out. Without any movement on his part, a bloody crack appeared on the skin inside his elbow, reaching directly to his blood vessels.

With his physical strength, the propulsion needle on the gene tube would hardly pierce his skin.

The needle followed the crack and sank into the blood vessel. Li Ming pressed the push button. With the sound of air pressure release, the liquid in the glass spiral column slowly advanced and was squeezed out of the special syringe.

Li Ming could clearly feel that the cold liquid gradually spread throughout his body along with the blood rushing through his body.

When the first cold current returned to his heart, the gene tube was empty.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the glass jar in his hand shattered with a snap, and the fusion of gene seeds began.

The cells begin to become highly active, intending to accept higher-level power and allow the body to once again have the potential for continued development.

What followed was a severe pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The preparation of the gene seed of Tegos is a simplified process. Although it is not a rough draft, it is not much different. The fusion process can be described as violent from the beginning.

At the beginning of the fusion, Li Ming did not use defensive blessings because that would cause his body cells to become overly solidified, making it impossible to enter the gene seed fusion process.

Having had many fusion experiences, Li Ming had long estimated that the fusion process must reach at least one-third before he could use the defense blessing to suppress himself.

"Shhh!"

Li Ming frowned and suddenly let out a muffled sound. A large number of particles surged out of the surface of his skin uncontrollably, tearing through the clothes on his body woven with high-strength fiber threads.

The particles entangled with each other, and then formed a raging energy storm. With Li Ming as the center, it began to slowly expand, dissolving the sand and rocks wherever it covered.

About five or six minutes later, the raging energy storm seemed to have reached a certain limit, and the center shook violently, followed by an astonishing energy wave bursting out, tearing through the atmosphere above and penetrating the earth's crust below.

The planet exploded, and the magma material in the core gushed out and spread across the interstellar space.

Amidst the flying planetary fragments and light, Li Ming's body was not disturbed at all. He continuously released amazing energy fluctuations, and his aura continued to rise.

Taegos is a special star beast created by the Titans. Its fundamental purpose is to fight and tear each other apart for entertainment purposes.

Therefore, in the carefully modulated genetic composition, there are almost no parts related to energy affinity, and it is basically all about physical strengthening.

This is naturally not bad news for Li Ming. What he relies on mainly are strength, defense and other blessings, which are closely related to physical strength. Naturally, the higher the better.

Li Ming was bathed in out-of-control energy, and the cells in his body began to go wild and undergo drastic changes.

It made him feel that his body, flesh, organs, and even every cell had its own thoughts and seemed to be able to separate and reorganize at any time.

This was not an illusion. Not long after the fusion began, the cells were infected by this incredibly strong gene seed, and signs of deformation appeared on the surface of the body: hair fell off, skin cracked, the back arched, and the body twitched constantly.

Hiss—blood splattered, the spine was torn and flesh and blood came out. This kind of pain that touched the spirit made it difficult for Li Ming to completely suppress it, and he let out a low roar.

The strength of the X gene seed was already very high. At the lower life levels, the distortion rate was compressed by the high degree of process and technological development, and it rose again at this stage.

All reconciliation measures can only try to reduce the impact of distortion.

There are quite a few X-level life forms that have failed to evolve due to distortion in interstellar history.

The strength of Taegos is even more astonishing, and it saves a lot of materials to maintain stability. This kind of violence is predictable.

Li Ming clenched his teeth, but his teeth were already full of cracks, then shattered, the crowns fell off, and sharp teeth grew out.

The body trembled, and the cells began to resist this change based on the survival instinct, not wanting to evolve into a crazy state that even they themselves disliked.

However, the fusion has already begun and cannot be stopped, just like being forced to do something, there is nothing you can do.

The severe pain hit Li Ming's spirit. He struggled to control his mind. He had to remain calm, wait for the opportunity to merge, switch systems, use defense to strengthen his defense, and suppress the distortion.

Rumble——

The surging energy was so dense that it almost condensed into substance. With Li Ming as the center, it gushed out in all directions, crushing the scattered continental shelves of the planet into powder.

From a distance, it looks like a newborn star that is constantly expanding and gradually entering maturity.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more..."

A whole day passed, and Li Ming was in this torment. He was in a trance, with only one thought in his mind that kept him going.

At this moment, more than 80% of the body was deformed, the skin was covered with scales, the arms were twisted, the knuckles extended to dozens of centimeters, and almost only the head remained in its original shape, looking hideous and terrifying.

Suddenly, an even more violent energy erupted from within the body, merging into the next stage, and all cells began a new round of distortion.

Li Ming felt that every cell was becoming more and more restless, as if they were all about to leave the body and escape on their own.

"Now!" Almost instantly, as if a dormant machine was awakened, Li Ming immediately switched to the control system that had been prepared long ago.

Even though the ability of [Heart of Talos] has not yet been activated, the two hundred times defense blessing brought by the Spear of Kashmir has brought an immediate effect.

The cells that had been almost destroyed seemed to be wearing heavy defensive armor and were no longer easy to shake.

The deformation trend stopped instantly, and the injuries on the body began to repair rapidly. The bulging spine and broken skin were slowly repairing.

At this stage, the fusion in the body has reached a certain level, and the dominant factor is no longer the gene seed, but his own body.

The gene seeds that were originally rejected are now pulled back by the cells and swallowed up forcefully, switching between offense and defense.

The blazing energy flowed through the body, and with the support of hundreds of times of defense, evolution finally got on the right track, and cells throughout the body were rapidly evolving towards a higher level of life.

The gene seeds are washing over the cells again and again, causing the cells to change again and again, gradually approaching a new form.

The endless gushing energy particles have formed a huge ball of light, which is spinning and expanding in circles, and is extremely dazzling.

Li Ming's figure was in the center, submerged in endless light.

After ten full days, the huge energy vortex, which had expanded many times in size, seemed to have expanded to its limit and slowly shrank towards the center, with streams of energy pouring into Li Ming's body.

The gene seed fusion process has basically ended, and the leap in life level has brought obvious feedback.

The transformation begins with the undercurrent of light beneath the skin. Countless tiny particles of light seep out from deep within the bone marrow, like a galaxy awakening in the night sky, flowing slowly along the vascular network.

His fingertips shone with light, and natural lines resembling energy inscriptions appeared on the surface of his nails, and each groove was filled with flowing starlight.

Muscle fibers are reshaped in silence, tiny particles of energy drift from the mouth and nose with every breath, and deep in the bones, every time the joints turn, a long echo is heard.

Vine-like silver veins grew on the inside of the sternum. These living veins continued to branch and extend, forming a bird's nest-like protective network around the heart and the outside of the head.

For X-level life forms, great power belongs to themselves, the information state is further converged, and the intensity is increased, which can more easily influence the universe.

The beating flesh and blood organs were now emitting a halo of molten gold, scorching the surrounding air into visible distorted ripples, and the blocked path of evolution was opened again.

Another five days passed. Li Ming was suspended in the air with his eyes closed. A special aura was emanating from his body. As his heart beat slowly, several ribbon-like energy particles slowly flowed around his body.

Suddenly, Li Ming opened his eyes, they shone like stars, and a nebula-like mist of light emanated from the corners of his eyes.

"Finally reached level X..." Li Ming raised his hand. He originally just wanted to observe the changes in his body, but ended up tearing a piece of space and a void storm surged out.

Li Ming's eyelids twitched, and then he realized that he was blessing the combat system. Even if he did not activate the active ability, the passive power blessing was more than six hundred times.

He restrained his breath and took down all the combat systems, and his body felt weak.

He casually pulled out a slender metal capsule and placed it against his skin. Silver nanoparticles quickly spread out, outlining a pitch-black combat uniform on his body.

He tried his best to control his strength and estimated it secretly.

"My current energy level is estimated to be 20X. It has increased tenfold as soon as I evolved..." Li Ming looked at his palm. When he just evolved to this level, his life level was not completely restrained, and his skin was crystal clear, like a work of art.

According to the information he had learned, under normal circumstances, the newly evolved X-level evolutionary form should be around 15X.

"The extra 5X is probably due to the strength of Tygos..." Li Ming pondered.

Those who can evolve to this level, the fusion of low-level life forms, are all top-notch gene seeds, and the only difference between them is Taegos.

"20X..." Li Ming's eyes were burning, and he subconsciously began to estimate how much combat power he could unleash with the support of the combat system.

"I've already calculated that if I fully activate my basic abilities, the power boost would be around a thousand times. The normal peak power level would be 20,000X."

Li Ming couldn't help but shudder in his heart. When he was fighting with the Lord of Eternal Abyss before, the damage from the [Giant God's Strike] was just over ten thousand.

"If you take the Kashmir Spear, it's 40,000X. A giant god's attack is a 100,000X explosion."

"Hmm, still calculating in X, that's a bit odd. 1000X = 1? That's a bit weird. How about using J, 1J? Uh... that seems even weirder."

Li Ming muttered in his heart, but his eyes became more and more fiery, "If the normal gap between the ultimate life form and the X-level life form is a thousand times, under the same development progress, I even have the advantage."

"The thousand-fold estimate is based on the Titans' evolutionary path. Although the evolutionary paths are different, I don't think the difference will be that big."

"But..." He thought again, "Under normal circumstances, when evolving into an Ultimate Life Form, the energy level will definitely increase. It's unlikely to be 20J. Every bit of development progress will bring about a greater increase..."

"But, I still have the advantage of weapons, and [Giant God Strike] is my biggest trump card."

As he expected, his evolution to level X life form was equivalent to his promotion to ultimate life form. Even when facing the Lord of Eternal Abyss, he had the confidence to fight back.

"Unless that Lord of Eternal Abyss suddenly attacks us at his peak state..." Li Ming pondered to himself.

I don’t know where that guy is hiding. After such a long time, I haven’t heard of any X-level life form suddenly disappearing again.

The opponent seemed to have given up on repairing his injury in this way.

"If this method is not used, there must be other ways." Li Ming did not think that Yongyuan had given up on his goal.

"Hmm... after evolving to level x life form, the S-level life force core will be unusable. I need to upgrade to level x as soon as possible..." Li Ming thought. His giant god rotation battle relied on the [Life Force Core].

However, the controlled object cannot be upwards compatible and can only be upgraded. The metal energy consumed in future battles will probably have to rise to another level.

This is not a problem. His wealth is accumulating every moment, and the current balance of metal energy has reached 50 billion.

He couldn't help but think more: "The mainstream control objects nowadays are basically X-level, and they can still play a role."

"But after reaching the Ultimate level, these X-level items are basically useless, and we still haven't found the materials needed to advance to the Ultimate Control Object."

Although there is a Titan Relic to back it up, the data boost is totally insufficient. The gap between level X and ultimate level is a thousand times, and the gap is even higher at the ultimate level.

"The upgrade materials for advancing to the Ultimate Control Object must be related to the Ultimate Life. Let's see if there is a chance to catch an Ultimate Life Form for research..." Li Ming has already thought far into the future.
