Chapter 304: Metamorphosis

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Metamorphosis

Lin Qi felt his body burning violently. It was flushed red and radiating white steam.

The moment he successfully visualized the Platinum Evil Tiger, his body also began to change.

The Platinum Evil Tiger in his blood and consciousness resonated, trying to awaken some kind of power deep within his body.

Lin Qi knew that he needed to trigger the Genetic Awakening of the Genetic Sequence corresponding to the Platinum Evil Tiger.

Once awakened, he would be able to break his body’s shackles and drastically increase his body’s efficiency in absorbing Source Energy.

There were two main difficulties in cultivating a five-star rated Intermediate Source Energy Technique.

The first difficulty was visualizing a Ninth-Level Calamity Beast.

This required a great deal of time and Spiritual Power to visualize and outline.

The second difficulty was the process of triggering the body’s Genetic Awakening and breaking the shackles.

This part depended purely on an individual’s physical Talent; the higher the Talent, the less time it would take.

This was exactly what Lin Qi was feeling now. The depths of his bloodline were abnormally active, his entire being was in a state of high excitement, and his body was operating at high speed, absorbing the essence from the Platinum Evil Tiger’s blood.

This essence was digested by his organs and permeated every part of his body—his organs, muscles, Great Tendons, skin, bones...

After absorbing it, every part began to transform.

Every part was transforming in sync, with the most obvious change happening to his bones, which were being continuously refined by Source Energy.

He didn’t know how long this would last.

’With my Talent, it probably won’t take too long.’

Lin Qi thought to himself, absolutely confident in his Talent.

Others might need a very long time, but he felt he wouldn’t need that long—not even a full day.

So he shut his eyes tightly and maintained his state of visualization, allowing the Platinum Evil Tiger to move about in his Consciousness Space.

It was over three times the size of a Vajra Tiger.

Every run and roar it made caused spatial tremors in Lin Qi’s consciousness, constantly increasing the burden and demanding even greater Spiritual Power.

Lin Qi remained in this state, oblivious to the passage of time.

He only knew that his body was growing stronger and stronger.

While Lin Qi was visualizing, time in the outside world was also passing.

The projected Blue Robe watched Lin Qi with worry. She had received her instructions.

As long as her master, Lin Qi, didn’t open his eyes, everything was fine.

So, she could only wait quietly.

Outside the Pyramid, the sky gradually darkened. As night fell, the Pyramid lit up.

Everything was brightly illuminated, but Lin Qi remained unaware of time passing.

At some unknown moment, his body began to move with unprecedented violence, heating up madly.

CRACK!

He felt something snap deep inside his body.

It was as if shackles had shattered, sending an uncontrollable tremor through his entire being.

Then, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, everything became clear, and every corner of his body felt light and easy.

The shackles were broken!

This was the feeling. Lin Qi felt it now—he had successfully broken the shackles!

ROAR—

In the next instant, the Platinum Evil Tiger in his Consciousness Space seemed to sense the shattering of the shackles and let out a heavenward roar. The surrounding specks of Source Energy light seemed to answer a summons.

In a flash, they all converged into Lin Qi’s body.

The density of the Source Energy Particles and the sheer vastness of the Source Energy far exceeded his imagination.

It was as if the water of an entire lake was pouring into his body.

His organs had already been digesting the essence of the blood.

Now, a massive amount of Source Energy was also entering him. Waves of cool energy surged into his body and were devoured frantically by his cells.

’Is this what a body is like after breaking its Genetic Shackles?’

Lin Qi was simply astounded!

With the body’s invisible shackles broken, his cells were like a pack of starving beasts, frantically devouring the Source Energy Particles.

Every part of his body began to transform once more.

He guided the Source Energy within him to begin refining his own bones.

He was beginning Bone Casting!

As the Source Energy Particles entered his body, his bones vibrated, undergoing continuous refinement and polishing.

Furthermore, Lin Qi was surprised to discover that the Source Energy Particles themselves were also beginning to change.

The Source Energy from the air entered his body, was filtered, and began to mutate.

Previously, when Source Energy Particles were absorbed and converted by his body, then taken in by his cells, it was like stamping a white sheet of paper with his own mark.

But now, with the successful visualization of the Platinum Evil Tiger, that paper was dyed gold, gaining its own Attribute.

These attributed Source Energy Particles entered his bones and began to refine them.

It made all the bones in Lin Qi’s body itch, and he understood this was the process of Bone Casting.

If a Cultivator’s own Talent was high enough, they could forge Slaughter Tiger Bones and possess a physical constitution far superior to others.

Cultivators with insufficient Talent would only have slightly stronger physiques than others, failing to achieve a qualitative transformation.

’Under the refinement of these Source Energy Particles, I feel like I’m undergoing a complete metamorphosis!’

Lin Qi quietly experienced this change. If he hadn’t been practicing a five-star rated Intermediate Source Energy Technique, the Source Energy Particles wouldn’t have changed so drastically.

He fixed his gaze on the golden panel, where a large amount of information had already popped up.

[Through your continuous visualization of the Ninth-Level Calamity Beast, the Platinum Evil Tiger, your Spiritual Power has been tempered. Spiritual Power +1, Spiritual Power +1, Spiritual Power +1...]

[You have consumed the blood of the Ninth-Level Calamity Beast, the Platinum Evil Tiger, and absorbed its essence. Qi and Blood Value +1]

[In the environment of Pyramid No. 6, you have absorbed a large amount of Source Energy. Qi and Blood Value +1]

[Qi and Blood Value +1, Qi and Blood Value +1, Qi and Blood Value +1...]

For the past few days, he had been seeing a massive amount of information pop up on the panel every day. His Spiritual Power and Qi and Blood Value had been skyrocketing.

He didn’t even know how strong he was now.

...

Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, more than three hours had gone by.

WHOOSH—

Dazzling white light shone on Lin Qi’s body, and his skin seemed to radiate a brilliant glow.

Fierce gusts of wind swirled around his body.

BOOM!!

With a blast of Qi, the gale spread outwards, causing the flowers and grass to sway as if they couldn’t bear the force.

After the fierce wind subsided, the Pyramid fell silent once more.

Lin Qi also slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant golden light flashing within them.

The aura around him had become even more domineering, like that of a Platinum Evil Tiger.

He felt that his body had reached its limit, completely "stuffed."

He fixed his gaze on the panel.

[You have consumed an Enhancement Potion, a Spiritual Potion. Your Spiritual Power has greatly increased. Spiritual Power +15]

[You have visualized the Platinum Evil Tiger, and your Spiritual Power has been tempered. Spiritual Power +50]

[You have consumed the blood of the Ninth-Level Calamity Beast, the Platinum Evil Tiger, and absorbed its essence. Qi and Blood Value +30]

[You have successfully triggered the Awakening of the Genetic Sequence deep within your bloodline, broken the shackles, and completed the cultivation of the .]

[By absorbing a large amount of Source Energy, you have undergone a complete metamorphosis. Your Qi and Blood Value has greatly increased. Qi and Blood Value +20]

[Spiritual Power: 145 → 210]

[Qi and Blood Value: 139 → 189]

...

Lin Qi was astounded when he saw the constantly updating data on the panel!

In a full six days, his body had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

Continuously visualizing the Platinum Evil Tiger, combined with the potions he had taken, had caused his Spiritual Power to increase dramatically.

In six days, his Spiritual Power had actually increased by 65.

Before, an increase like this would have taken at least two or three months.

Not only that, but the increase in his Qi and Blood Value was also ridiculous.

It had increased by a full 50 points. In just six days, he had made halfway progress through the Third Realm. The speed was incredible.

Now his Qi and Blood Value was 189, very close to 200.
