Chapter 714 - 707: A Sense of Threat

Chapter 714: Chapter 707: A Sense of Threat

"Hm? You’re finally willing to use your all-out moves?"

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s words, a delighted smile broke out across Debaka’s ferocious face.

They had fought several times recently, and Debaka had always suspected that Zhou Yuanjue was holding back his strongest techniques and abilities. It had been nagging at him ever since.

Now, it seemed he finally had a chance to witness Zhou Yuanjue’s greatest strength, and every cell in his body thrummed with excitement.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Debaka slammed his fists together against his chest, BANG BANG, and eagerly used his host permissions to invite Zhou Yuanjue into the battle.

When the notification message appeared, Zhou Yuanjue readily accepted the invitation to fight.

VMMMM!!

Instantly, several pillars of light descended from the sky, enveloping Lingling, Black Pill, and Didiloba. Their figures vanished from the battlefield, reappearing in the spectator area, which provided a god’s-eye view of the fight.

Down on the battlefield, Zhou Yuanjue and Debaka stood opposite each other.

"Does that guy really have more hidden strength and techniques? How long do you think Debaka will last this time?"

Lingling asked from the spectator stands, watching the two combatants with great interest.

"Logically, a difference of ten-something percent in Transformation Level shouldn’t create that wide of a gap. Besides, I heard Zhou Yuanjue’s racial potential is on the lower side, right? If their Transformation Levels were the same, he’d probably have a hard time beating Debaka. Their last few fights all dragged on for a long time before they ended."

"This time, he seems to have improved over the past two months, but I doubt it’s anything too drastic. After all, Debaka hasn’t been idle, either. In just two short months, his Transformation Level actually increased by five percent. That rate of progress is insane. You have to admit, that guy Debaka’s potential is far beyond any of ours."

Didiloba speculated.

"And you? Black Pill? What do you think? By the way, can you take off that cloak? We’ve known each other for so long, and I’ve never even seen your real face. Or is the cloak your actual body?"

Lingling, who stood just over 1.4 meters tall and had a doll-like face, turned to ask Black Pill.

"That guy... he’s strong. And dangerous."

An ethereal thought emanated from beneath Black Pill’s cloak.

"Oh? What did your Super Time Sense pick up?"

Didiloba asked, looking at Black Pill with curiosity.

This mysterious fellow’s transformation ability was the most unique among the group.

On his home world, he held a status similar to that of a prophet, possessing a special ability passed down through generations. This ability fused with the Sacred Lotus Structure to create the power he now possessed.

Super Time Sense.

This ability expanded his senses to a terrifying degree, even granting him a limited form of precognition in small-scale battles.

As a result, he could perceive things that others couldn’t.

"A sense of threat."

Black Pill stated slowly.

"The sense of threat I get from Debaka is about this much."

As he spoke, Black Pill condensed his power, forming a fist-sized black orb of energy in the air.

"And before now, the sense of threat I got from Zhou Yuanjue was about this much."

As Black Pill infused the orb with more energy, it grew to about the size of two fists combined.

"And now?"

Lingling asked curiously.

"Now... it’s about this much."

A large amount of black energy surged forth from Black Pill. The orb before him expanded rapidly, instantly swelling to the size of a normal man’s head.

It looked to be more than double the volume of the previous orb.

"No way! Are you sure you’re not mistaken? His power has grown that much in just two months?!"

Lingling stared at the orb, her expression a little dazed.

"That... does seem a bit illogical. Did his Transformation Level nearly double?"

Didiloba asked in confusion.

"There’s a difference between a sense of threat and actual strength."

"His strength has definitely increased, but the reason for such a massive jump in such a short time is probably that he’s mastered some new, powerful techniques."

"Based on the threat level, if Zhou Yuanjue really goes all out... I estimate Debaka might not even last a single move."

Black Pill said.

"You’re kidding."

"I don’t believe it."

Lingling and Didiloba shook their heads, turning their skeptical eyes back toward the battlefield.

「On the battlefield.」

"Heh heh, I haven’t been idle these past few months, you know."

A savage grin split Debaka’s face as he abruptly unleashed his energy.

VMMMM!!

A black-purple lotus form enveloped his body. Countless thick Sacred Lotus Roots, like massive pipes, pierced into the void. His gluttony ability activated, frantically siphoning immense True Realm Energy from the surrounding space.

RRRRIP!!

His body rapidly swelled, powerful muscles tearing through his skin to reveal black-purple muscle fibers underneath. He had entered his Demon form.

A terrifying, oppressive aura erupted from him, but that wasn’t all. The black-purple lotus around him suddenly burst into roaring black flames, as if it had been set ablaze.

Black Lotus·Extreme Radiance!

Right from the start, Debaka had unleashed his strongest form, holding nothing back. This was his way of acknowledging and respecting Zhou Yuanjue’s power.

’His aura is stronger. Has his Transformation Level increased?’

From the pressure Debaka now radiated, Zhou Yuanjue knew that this guy hadn’t been idle either.

"Thirty-five percent. It won’t be as easy to defeat me now as it was before. Show me your greatest strength."

Debaka sneered.

"In that case, you’d better be careful."

Zhou Yuanjue nodded. After completing the simulation of the Prokaryotic Structure, although he hadn’t yet combined it with his existing structure, he had already conceptualized the techniques he could use once they were fused.

Now, he was going to put those techniques into practice.

The greatest strength of the Prokaryotic Structure lay in its offensive power: the gathering, compression, and eruption of energy, much like a nuclear explosion.

The strongest explosive technique used by the likes of the Master of Desolation and the Desolate lineage was to use the Power of the Primordial Core to mobilize all the energy in one’s body, instantly ignoring all physical limits to unleash a complete detonation.

In short, it was self-destruction.

But at Zhou Yuanjue’s current level, he would never resort to such a crude method of attack. It was safe to say that when he used the Prokaryotic Structure, with his current realm and power, he would be far stronger than the Master of Desolation ever was.

VMMMM!!

A pure white, jade-like Sacred Lotus enveloped his body. This was one of the flowers of his Shadow Lotus; he kept the other one hidden and dormant.

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!!

Countless overlapping roars, like the sound of revving engines, thundered from within his body. Under the massive impact of energy, his body rapidly swelled. His terrifying new physique and musculature were now easily a match for Debaka’s Demon form.
