“Ding! Consumed 100 billion Evolution Points. Tai Cang Dragon strengthened to Seventh-Rank Tai Cang Dragon. All attributes received a minor increase.”
The stream transformed into a surging river.
Life energy, like a breached flood, washed over every inch of Uka’s dying cells.
The wound on its chest violently contracted again, shrinking to only the size of a bowl.
Newborn muscle fibers, like tough vines, wrapped around the repairing bones, presenting a dark golden metallic texture.
Beneath the large patches of peeling, charred scales, new scales, glimmering with a dark golden luster, emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
An uncontrollable low roar, originating from the instinct of life, brewed and rumbled deep within its chest.
Its limbs began to twitch and kick unconsciously, and its massive Dragon tail swayed slightly, stirring the molten fragments beneath it.
“Ding! Consumed 200 billion Evolution Points. Tai Cang Dragon strengthened to Eighth-Rank Tai Cang Dragon. All attributes received a minor increase.”
...
“Ding! Consumed 800 billion Evolution Points. Tai Cang Dragon strengthened to Tenth-Rank Tai Cang Dragon. All attributes received a significant increase.”
The moment the last, torrent-like surge of immense power poured in, the space within the invisible barrier Zhou Qi had set up let out a terrifying groan, as if the Universe’s fetal membrane was being torn apart, unable to bear the strain.
Rumble! Rumble!
That was not a sound; it was the spatial structure itself violently twisting, collapsing, and reorganizing.
Uka’s shattered body was as if thrown into the singularity at the center of the Big Bang.
Charred flesh, shattered scales, melted bones, vanished Dragon crystal…
All the old wounds and remnants, under the rush of an unimaginable energy torrent, instantly melted, vaporized, and returned to the Void Realm, like first snow encountering the fierce flames of a star’s core.
In their place was light and heat of the utmost purity, the wildest reshaping and ascension of life’s Origin.
Its body swelled madly in the energy surge.
One hundred fifty meters… two hundred meters… two hundred fifty meters… Finally, a colossal body, three hundred meters tall, stood majestically within the barrier, like a Titan pillar supporting the heavens and earth.
Just by remaining still, the surging power compressed the space within the barrier, causing it to vibrate with a high-frequency “buzz,” as if it could shatter at any moment.
Covering its entire body was no longer metallic scales, but a substance so profound it seemed capable of devouring all light—Star Core Heavy Gold!
Each scale was as thick and heavy as a small armor plate, with crimson patterns flowing along its edges, solidified like real magma.
These were not decorations, but the fiercely compressed and sealed stellar core flames within the scales, surging like active volcanoes.
On the surface of the scales, hot runes, twisted and flickering like molten gold, were naturally etched. Every faint energy pulsation caused scorching ripples in the surrounding Void Realm, distorting the light.
Spine mutation!
Along its spine, as thick as an ancient mountain range, twelve thick, crimson energy conduits, like volcanic craters, abruptly pierced through its new body, rising like spires of Hell.
“Pfft!”
A scorching torrent of crimson-gold, viscous like liquid stars, erupted violently from the twelve conduits!
This was not a simple release of energy; they were like destructive snakes imprisoned for billions of years, and the moment they broke free, they raged, coiled, and converged madly on Uka’s back.
The crimson-gold torrents intertwined, collided, and fused, instantly forming a burning infernal sea covering its entire back, over a hundred meters in diameter.
“Abyss of Red Lotus”
Deep red karmic flames licked the inner wall of the spatial barrier, emitting millions of degrees of high temperature, enough to twist the Void Realm and instantly vaporize matter.
The remaining seawater within the barrier was instantly completely evaporated, turning into scorching, viscous, golden-red plasma, swirling, boiling, and roaring around the newborn Red Lotus behemoth.
The entire interior of the barrier transformed into a miniature stellar core.
Its ferocious head suddenly lifted.
On its skull, covered in Star Core Heavy Gold, two curved giant horns stood like pillars of lava supporting the sky.
Its molten-gold vertical pupils suddenly opened! These were no longer the eyes of a beast, but windows of destruction burning with two miniature stars.
Deep within its pupils was a rage capable of turning stars to ashes, a towering hatred for its otherworldly enemies, and an absolute loyalty forged for the Dominator before it.
Each breath from its mouth and nose exhaled golden-red high-temperature particle streams, slightly scorching and blurring the space in front of it.

......
“Roar!”
A roar, not from a physical throat but from the newborn Origin of life, erupted like the first thunderclap of creation.
This initial cry of the Red Lotus was no longer a sound; it was a highly condensed wave of destructive impact.
It instantly cleared all the swirling golden-red plasma within the barrier.
The Red Lotus karmic fire shot into the sky, illuminating the entire interior of the barrier as dazzlingly as a supernova explosion.
Uka completely broke free from the molten rock barrier. Its colossal body floated above the scorched earth, as if carrying a newborn star on its back, radiating divine glory of destruction and Rebirth within the ten-thousand-meter abyss.
Its molten-gold pupils locked onto the pale orb of light. Newborn hatred and ecstasy burned fiercely within the destructive flames.
Zhou Qi’s pupils imperceptibly constricted.
He clearly felt the Mental Golden Core, as brilliant as a star, deep within his Sea of Consciousness, suddenly shrink!
An unprecedented, thick blood chain of Power Of Faith, with the texture of scalding magma, pierced through his mental inner landscape like a heaven-opening Divine Thought, violently injecting into the Golden Core.
This Power Of Faith was pure and vast, carrying the immense pressure of a planet-level lifeform and a sacrificial fervor. It was not much weaker than the gift received when strengthening the Golden Emperor.
Although the Golden Core’s volume did not visibly expand, it suddenly shone with brilliant light. The Mental Power at its core was repeatedly tempered, compressed, and purified, becoming incredibly condensed and tough, like refined steel.
The invisible barrier that restricted the higher Realm loosened a bit more under the impact of this power.
