Sizzle!

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine coiled tightly around the Demonic Vine King and it thrust its sharp needle into it deeply. It absorbed eagerly the blood and energy of the Demonic Vine King’s body, and its luster turned deeper gradually. It changed from a red vine into a dark scarlet vine, and it got the Demonic Vines’ distinctive bright black luster.

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine was like the Demonic Vine King, and many tentacles grew out of its body. One of them had red tentacles, and the other had black ones. In the beginning, the crowd was able to distinguish who every tentacle belonged to, but after the Thousand-handed Blood Vine mutated, even a person with the best sight couldn’t distinguish them any longer.

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine, that had a great innate gift, and the powerful Demonic Vine King, fused completely.

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine absorbed completely the Demonic Vine King’s blood, and the intense energy released by the shattered Godhead. This was why its luster turned darker and its body turned thicker, while more vines tentacles grew out of its body and their range increased drastically at a high-speed.

At first, the Thousand-handed Blood Vines’ size was just a tenth of the Demonic Vine King’s size, but after it absorbed the intense energy, its body grew quickly. Its size went from one-tenth of the Demonic Vine King to one fifth, one third, then one half, while its tentacles’ range also grew larger.

“Tsk, tsk. If it continues growing like this, then a single Bloodsucking Vine may become a whole forest.” Yang Ling observed nervously and excitedly the Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s mutation.

It was obvious that the bigger the vine and the higher the number of tentacles, the higher its offensive and defensive power. The Demonic Vine King had, at most, a High-Level Deity’s power, but it had great innate magical abilities, numerous tentacles, as well as a large Demonic Vine Army. This was why even Richardson, who had an apex High-Level Deity’s power, didn’t dare to fight it head-on, and the giant vine’s power could be easily imagined.

It was a pity that he couldn’t tame in time the heavily injured Demonic Vine King, but it would be still pretty good to get a God-Level Thousand-handed Blood Vine. If the Thousand-handed Blood Vine could fuse its innate gift with the Demonic Vine’s gift, and add to it a Bloodsucking Vine’s distinctive tough body, as well as devouring gift, then its fighting prowess would be probably more terrifying than the Demonic Vine King’s.

“Could it devour it without the Beast Soul Altar?” When the Flying Dragon King, Seylius, witnessed this sight, he envied it greatly. After he witnessed the Evil Tyrant making a quick advancement with the help of the Beast Soul Altar, he also wanted to give this a try, but whenever he thought about the consequences of the fusion’s failure, he would become hesitant and Couldn’t make up his mind.

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s direct devouring innate gift was an ability that almost all Magical Beasts coveted, even in their dreams.

“After the Thousand-handed Blood Vine devours the energy of the Demonic Vine King’s Godhead, will it advance into the Low-Level Deity Stage, Mid-Level Deity Stage or the High-Level Deity Stage?” The Corpse Wizard King furrowed his brows and raised a question that expressed everyone’s doubts. None knew what kind of power the Thousand-handed Blood Vine would get after making the advancement, and none knew what appearance it would take after evolving.

It might become a strange, giant vine, and it might also turn into a freak with a human head like the Demonic Vine King, yet it might also directly take a humanoid form. The fusion might even fail and it would turn into a crazy monster, or its body would explode and it would die.

Sizzle!

After the Thousand-handed Blood Vine fused completely with the Demonic Vine King, it started contracting slowly in front of the crowd’s nervous gazes, and its innumerable tentacles started coiling together. They covered its torso tightly and it turned slowly into a giant cocoon as big as a two-story building. The crowd felt like a giant egg had appeared in front of them!

“This is... What is the matter?”

“That is right! Why did it turn out like this?”

The crowd discussed this spiritedly and looked in confusion at the giant cocoon in front of them. They didn’t know what happened, and even the experienced Richardson that traveled outside innumerably had no idea about this. He had seen all kinds of evolutions, but he had still never seen such a strange matter.

The giant, scarlet cocoon surprised the crowd, but what occurred next surprised them even more.

It could be seen that the giant cocoon, which the Thousand-handed Blood Vine turned into, was shivering, and scarlet roots stretched out of it. Those roots penetrated the hard ground deeply. Soon after, many tentacles emerged and flew around in the air. They let out a sizzling noise as they covered the whole battlefield like a cobweb.

It curled up around the death Demonic Vines and Bloodsucking Vines and devoured them cleanly as if they were fertilizer. It also broke the ice and devoured the frozen Demonic Vines one by one, and its tentacles even stretched into the Red River and devoured all energy in the vicinity. Soon after, the scarlet giant cocoon expanded again and it turned bigger, while a large amount of energy was condensed amongst the black clouds in the sky, forming a strange Energy Whirlwind.

Gurgle!

After the giant cocoon fused with a large number of Demonic Vines and absorbed a large amount of energy, a soft, strange cry came out of it. Soon after, it started shivering intensely, and many fine cracks appeared on it like a broken egg. A large number of tough tentacles came out of it, and as a “rumble” noise echoed out, a deafening thunderclap echoed from the sky, and the Energy Whirlwind that condensed energy for a long time started spinning quickly.

God-Level?

Could it be that the Thousand-handed Blood Vine would advance into the God-Level on the spot after absorbing a large amount of energy?

After Yang Ling observed the black clouds that covered the sky and the shocking Energy Whirlwind, he quickly thought about the Lightning Divine Tribulation that he went through. This was why he quickly moved all Magical Beasts other than the Corpse Wizard King, Hydra, and his companions into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension before he retreated carefully by a hundred feet, along with the crowd.

“It’s amazing! It started crossing the Divine Tribulation to make an advancement so quickly. If I had known that the Demonic Vine King’s Godhead was so good, I would have rushed over to take several bites of it.” As the Giant Ape King observed the Thousand-handed Blood Vine that would shortly break its cocoon and come out, it envied it so much that it drooled. Even though it devoured several drops of the precious Black Crystal Essence, it still couldn’t fuse with the Godhead in its body until now, and it didn’t expect that the Thousand-handed Blood Vine would instantly merge with the energy of the Demonic Vine King’s Godhead, quickly facing a Divine Tribulation.

“Hehe, if we had known that the Demonic Vine King’s Godhead was so good, it wouldn’t have been you who would have gotten it.” The Corpse Wizard King also envied the Thousand-handed Blood Vine that got many benefits.

More cracks appeared on the giant cocoon in front of the crowd’s nervous gazes, and those cracks turned bigger and more numerous, while the Energy Whirlwind in the air became more terrifying. Soon after, a loud rumble echoed out, and a giant Bloodsucking Vine came out of the cocoon.

It had a large build, and its scarlet torso was thicker than the Demonic Vine King’s torso, while its roots were developed well, and its blood sacks were bigger than an ordinary Bloodsucking Vine by a hundredfold. It released tremendous Energy Ripples with every breath like a Godhead, and its whole body was filled with tough tentacles that flew around as it breathed. Those tentacles engulfed nearly the whole battlefield and they easily penetrated several boulders.

Demonic Bloodsucking Vine?

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine was as big as a multi-floor building, and it seemed like it assimilated smoothly the Demonic Vine King’s innate gift. When Yang Ling saw this, he was overjoyed. The Magical Beast Army’s power would be increased by another level upon getting this super fighter, and as long as he cast the Spatial Fetters and summoned the Thousand-handed Blood Vine, that had innumerable tentacles, none would manage to close on in him.

Rumble!

A deafening thunderclap echoed from the sky before the crowd could get over their shock, and it was followed by the descent of Purple Celestial Fire that covered the sky. The fire engulfed the Thousand-handed Blood Vine that had just come out of its cocoon and it let a sizzling noise. Those flames were more terrifying than the large-scale Heaven Burning Fire Spell cast by the Fire Elf King and his clansmen, and it emitted an intense heatwave that instantly evaporated the Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s tentacles. Even several boulders near the Red River were quickly turned red and it seemed like it was dissolving them.

“Burning Fire Divine Tribulation, hurry up and retreat quickly.” The expression of the experienced Richardson turned grave, and he pulled the beauty, Sala’s, soft small hand and retreated quickly. He was followed closely by the crowd and they all moved back by a thousand feet before stopping to observe the situation. They were in the face of a terrifying Divine Tribulation, and even Yang Ling didn’t dare to intervene rashly, let alone ordinary people.

Sizzle!

The burning Purple Celestial Fire was too terrifying, but the crowd could still see that the newborn Thousand-handed Blood Vine stood firmly among the flames, and its tough tentacles danced around in the sky. A sizzling noise echoed out ceaselessly and it seemed like it struggled intensely. It also seemed like it resisted the flames that fell off the sky with its whole power.

As thunderclaps echoed out, the Purple Celestial Fire descending from the sky turned fiercer, while the ground in a perimeter of several hundred feet turned bright red and its temperature turned scalding. A terrifying heatwave also emanated from there and it forced the crowd to move back repeatedly. It seemed like the Thousand-handed Blood Vines’ tentacles were damaged heavily by the flames, and it also seemed like it exhausted a large amount of energy. This was why the Thousand-handed Blood Vine was forced to retract its numerous tentacles, and it started taking fewer actions.

“It’s awful!”

After Yang Ling detected that the Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s Soul Ripples turned weaker, he was astounded, and he quickly summoned over the Sea Demon Eliza and her companions. He planned to ask them to cast a large-scale Water Magic and Ice-Sealing Magic. He hoped to help the Thousand-handed Blood Vine cross the terrifying Burning Fire Divine Tribulation, but when he was to intervene, a deafening thunderclap echoed out, and the last ball of Purple Celestial Fire descended from the sky. Soon after, everything disappeared quickly, and the Thousand-handed Blood Vine managed to cross forcefully the Divine Tribulation with its own power.

Swoosh!

After the terrifying Burning Fire Divine Tribulation ended, a silver light beam fell from the sky and it emitted intense energy. It quickly healed the Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s damaged body, as well as its charred tentacles. They started recovering at a high-speed noticeable to the naked eye, and the crowd was surprised to discover that the Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s thick body that was within the white light started spinning and contracting quickly. It quickly formed a fair, white hand, and a tall, thin leg.

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine that crossed the tribulation safely drew help from the silver light beam that fell off the sky to quickly change its form in front of the crowd. In a short while, a curvaceous, pretty woman with long hair that was clad in scarlet battle armor appeared in front of the crowd. The crowd was shocked to discover that it didn’t just have normal hands and that there were still illusory white hands behind its back. Those hands were weaving mysterious hand signs.

Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva?

When Yang Ling, the Corpse Wizard King, and others saw the appearance the Thousand-handed Blood Vine took after changing its form, they were all shocked.
