1157 Evolution 2

Bajiao no longer looked like an Abyssal Bear Goblin. He had already grown to 1.8 meters in height, and two short goat horns could be seen on his head. He also had a demonic tail, and his face had become a lot more demonic.

This happened after drinking the bottle with diluted Mana Water. He had evolved into a Demon! Even if it looked like a strange hybrid between an Abyssal Bear Goblin and a Demon...

Seeing this guy, Lin Yun completely believed in the hypothesis that all Abyssal lifeforms had Demonic Bloodlines.

Those violent, messy, moody Demons were just more hardcore than Dragons. From Dragons to lizards, from elemental lifeforms to slimes, there were no lifeforms that Demons hadn't mated with, except maybe Abyssal Magic Bugs...

As lifeforms from the Abyss, they might all have Demonic Bloodlines. Those lifeforms collectively known as Abyssal Spellcasters might be the ones that completely awakened their bloodlines.

In Noscent, there was a rumor that the Warlock class was born from the appearances of Abyssal Demons, that all magic beasts were the descendants of Demons, and that to become a Warlock, one had to possess a Demonic Bloodline.

Now, Lin Yun completely believed it and thought, 'Those stupid Demons won't even let off an Abyssal Goblin... There is nothing they won't touch.'

During this period of time, every time Lin Yun conquered a tribe, the tribe would deliver some of their "beauties" every few days, including the Evil Flame Elementals… The Crawlers even delivered a few dozen female Crawlers at once.

Only when Lin Yun got angry and got rid of a large number of idiots did they thoroughly stop delivering women.

Then, Lin Yun heard about Bajiao lecturing them and knew why these Abyssal idiots stopped delivering beauties.

It wasn't because they were afraid of being killed, but rather because they believed Bajiao's words: 'As a pureblooded Demon, our Great Master isn't willing to look at these ugly abyssal lifeforms. Only pureblooded female Demons can mate with our Great Master…'

And now, that group of idiots was madly charging towards the Demon Fort. Lin Yun guessed that it wasn't for these idiots to eat all the rebels. The most important reason was to catch a pure-blooded female Demon as a tribute to their Great Master!

No one was willing to let the other races be first. And who knows... They might be able to obtain that formidable demonic potion if they were the first to capture a female pureblood Demon. That potion made an Abyssal Bear Goblin that didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder evolve into a Demi-Demon!

Bajiao fiercely slapped the head of his ugly and terrifying mount.

"Idiot, hurry up and charge! We must be the first to charge into that demon fort, there must be a female pureblooded Demon inside! We might get a reward as long as we capture her and offer her to the Great Master. Evolving into a true Demon might be possible then…"

Bajiao brandished his club as he led five thousand Abyssal Bear Goblins to crazily charge into the demon fort.

A large number of meteors fell into the army's ranks. Every second, a dozen Abyssal Bear Goblins were squished into a pile of flesh, but even more would go berserk, with none of them being scared off.

Bajiao's evolution into a Demi-Demon had stimulated these guys. Otherwise, they never would have thought of capturing a female Demon.

Three months before, which Abyssal Bear Goblin would have dared to say those words? They would definitely be beaten to death by their brethren.

Next to them was the army of Crawlers. They were all twisting their bodies to dodge the meteors and flames falling from the sky before they charged into the fort's entrance.

The Evil Flame Elementals turned their bodies into crimson red fireballs and rolled towards the fort at a high speed. They naturally disregarded their own innate casting ability.

Only the small Imp army followed in the rear, rubbing their hands to condense dark green fireballs that they threw towards the fort.

After losing almost half of their troops, the fort's entrance burst open and a large number of Abyssal lifeforms poured into the fort like a flood.

Suddenly, terrifying abyssal power frantically converged as a Demon flapped his wings and flew up. His two-meter-tall body was covered in dense black smoke, and his body frantically expanded.

He instantly grew five times bigger, and each flap of his wings created gales.

"Stupid guy, don't think that you can wantonly plunder my territory because you are a Flame Fiend. F*ck, you asked for it…"

The Level 32 Demon floated up and even released his Demon Body. Boundless black smoke covered the sky and turned into clouds.

In the distance, Lin Yun remained sitting on his throne. He gently snapped his fingers, and a series of abyssal runes exploded and disappeared. Suddenly, black flames appeared within the abyssal power condensed by that Demon.

The black flames rapidly converged into burning Black Dragon heads, which pounced towards that Demon.

Looking at the Black Dragon heads suddenly falling from the sky, the Demon unexpectedly wanted to flee, but it was too late.

The Dragon heads rapidly surrounded the Demon and pressured him against the ground, shaking the earth with a loud rumble.

The black flames transformed into a storm that rapidly spread into the surroundings. A Dragon's roar could even faintly be heard coming from that storm.

The demon fort was ignited, and all the abyssal lifeforms fighting within were shrouded in the black flames. Everything within six hundred meters of the center had been enveloped in the flames.

The abyssal army frantically fighting at the entrance immediately changed direction and charged out of the demon fort, running for their lives.

Lin Yun scratched his head as he looked at the soaring black flames.

'Damn, Black Dragon Storm is that powerful? This must be a joke! It's at best equivalent to a 6th Tier Spell… The aftermath of a 6th Tier Abyssal Spell can destroy half of a big demon fort after instantly killing a Level 32 Demon?

'Even a Demon with Silver Demonic Bloodline wouldn't be able to get such a powerful effect out of Black Dragon Storm. Damn, could it be that Flame Fiends had an affinity towards spellcasting?

'No, it must be because of the Abyssal Magic Bug. Each time the Abyssal Magic Bug evolves, it squeezes the most out of the Demonic Bloodline, and that would definitely strengthen spellcasting.'

The so-called war ended that easily. The other side's army didn't have time to show their might at all before half of them were burnt to death and their leader was instantly killed.

Then, it was logical that they would join Lin Yun's army, and a large group of laborers proceeded with rebuilding the demon fort.

It couldn't really be called a fort, though… It was actually a simple city wall made of stones. The most gorgeous place was the living quarters of the fort's master. Unfortunately, it was just a house made with some Magic Iron. There wasn't even an array in its surroundings.

The market in the fort was also in a state of chaos. Everything was decided based on who had the bigger fists.

In addition to being a bit pressured in the fort, those with little property and little strength would be torn to pieces by greedy guys at most half an hour after leaving.

Chaos and disorder... Whoever was strong could do anything. It was the state of the Abyss, and Lin Yun didn't plan on changing anything. It was good like that since plundering resources would be easier.

After gaining a fort, this region spanning two hundred kilometers truly belonged to Lin Yun. All the resources produced there belonged to him, including the lives and souls of all the lifeforms. They were all Lin Yun's private property.

After occupying this fort, Lin Yun discovered a vein of Abyssal Black Silver a few dozen meters under the fort. It even produced precious gems, some Deep Crimson Cores, a specialty of the Abyss.

Abyssal Black Silver wasn't too precious compared to other things here. Its effects were similar to mithril. But when carved and embedded on a staff, it would add great bonus effects on some burst spells.

It was very rare in Noscent, and just like all Abyssal materials, it was classified as a rare treasure.

This Abyssal Black Silver vein's Deep Crimson Core was a precious magic gem that could only be produced in the Abyss.

Whether it was to increase the burst power of an array or the limits of a Magic Tool, the Deep Crimson Core was the strongest magic gem. There weren't any stronger magic gems in Noscent.

Even the lowest of the lowest quality Deep Crimson Cores would be worth a Level 40 Heaven Rank Mana Crystal. It was priceless, so the buyer would then suffer from attempts to plunder it.

This thing could instantly be used on the weapon system of Lin Yun's puppet. Even if it didn't increase its level, it would at least increase its combat effectiveness by one level!

Now that he had a vein of Abyssal Black Silver and the accompanying Deep Crimson Cores, he would be able to make the puppet's fighting power surpass the Archmage realm and even reach the Heaven Rank just by changing a few parts.

The Dwarves that had wandered the Abyss had transformed into Abyssal Black Dwarves. Those were now sent to mine the Abyssal Black Silver vein by Lin Yun, excavating it day and night. Furthermore, three of four Deep Crimson Cores could be dug out every day, and they were of pretty good quality.

The war to expand the territory was still ongoing, and all the abyssal lifeforms that could be squeezed into the army had been captured by Lin Yun and were used to conquer more territories.

The war continued, and Lin Yun's level also rapidly increased. After a few months, Lin Yun's territory had already expanded to cover 400 kilometers, and he was now at war with an Evil Bone Demon.

Lin Yun's level had already reached 35. At this time, even with the Abyssal Magic Bug's characteristics, levelling had still slowed down by quite a bit.

He drank a large amount of Mana Water, but his level no longer increased as easily.

As his levelling speed slowed down, Lin Yun thought of using the gathered Deep Crimson Cores to remodel the alchemy puppet.

A Level 35 Flame Fiend with a 400-kilometer-wide territory, a territory rich in mineral resources with precious water resources.

It wouldn't take long before Lesser Demon Overlords came knocking on his door. And these Lesser Demon Overlords would all be subordinates to some Demon Overlord.

At that time, if he killed the Lesser Demon Overlord and refused to serve the Demon Overlord, he would have to fight.

After all, this Flame Fiend body wasn't Lin Yun's original body. It didn't have three Core Meditation Law Sets, nor the strongest Magic Array. The power he could display at this level was far lower than what he could with his original body, even though no Demon of the same level was Lin Yun's match.

Moreover, he would be able to level up again if he evolved. That transformation might take even longer. Who knew if an accident would happen during that time?

Using the puppet for defense was the best method. After all, the puppet would always be a puppet. It didn't have the aura of a lifeform that didn't belong to the Abyss.

He summoned the puppet, opened its body up, and replaced the magic gems in its weapon system and mechanical system with Deep Crimson Cores.

That way, the explosive power of its mana reactor and weapons would increase. Its fighting strength would at least grow by one level.

Apart from not having Extraordinary Power, its endurance was definitely comparable to a Heaven Mage, and its casting ability might even surpass that.

After altering the patched puppet, Lin Yun locked himself inside the fort and sank into a deep slumber with the puppet standing guard at his side.

The dense Abyssal power condensed into a big cocoon, and the aura of the Flame Fiend slowly dissipated, replaced by an aura specific to a new Demon.

While Lin Yun sank into slumber, the war over territories continued.

The war with the neighboring Evil Bone Demon was reaching its climax, and a large number of abyssal lifeforms met at the center of the two territories, fighting day and night, piling up corpses and blood at the boundary.

The frequent war gave endless corpses as rations to the Abyssal Bear Goblins and Crawlers who had never been able to eat to their fill before.

Numerous Abyssal Blood Crows covered the sky, and every time a battle was over, these countless crows would devour the corpses of the deceased.

After ten days of continuous battles, the scales of the war started to tilt in their opponents' favor, because the Evil Bone Demon ruler personally joined the fray.

The huge Demon appeared on the battlefield, and his sinister bony outgrowths spurted out a large amount of ashen black flames.

The flames covering the sky turned into a rain of fire that descended upon the battlefield and shrouded the abyssal armies in Bone-corroding Black Flames, regardless of their affiliation. The corpses littering the ground were the best fuel.

In less than three minutes, everything within three kilometers had turned into a sea of ashen black flames, and everyone there was shouting in pain before being burnt to ashes.

Over ten thousand were burnt to ashes as the Evil Bone Demon entered the sea of flames and laughed heartily.

"Stupid abyssal idiots, you don't know who you are facing! I'm the Great Steer! If your Overlord swears loyalty to me, I might spare your lowly lives."

Steer's territory wasn't far from Lin Yun's, and they would inevitably clash as they both expanded their territories.

After all, for a Lesser Demon Overlord to grow stronger, they had to plunder more natural resources and expand their territory. There were no Demon Overlords that controlled less than five thousand kilometers of land, and some powerful Demon Overlords even had territories that spanned over ten thousand kilometers.

Greater Demon Overlords controlled an entire layer, while some even controlled several layers.

Steer's leveling speed was pretty fast. His territory just happened to have an Underground Fire vein. Moreover, the continuous wars left a lot of corpses behind, which were the best fuel for his Bone-corroding Black Flames. Using those flames to destroy lives before absorbing them back into his body greatly increased his levelling speed.

The more powerful the Demon, the greater the benefits after devouring it. As a former Heaven Rank powerhouse, even though his body had been traded for a Demon's, his fighting awareness was far stronger than the average Demon.

After stealthily killing many powerful lifeforms, Steer advanced to Level 35 and his developing territory naturally couldn't avoid clashing with Lin Yun's.

Steer finished devouring the Bone-corroding Black Flames that had covered the battlefield and his aura grew stronger once again. He was now already at the peak of Level 35.

Looking at the crazily running abyssal army before him, Steer casually stepped on an Evil Flame Elemental's head and howled in laughter.

'A Level 35 Flame Fiend… None of them should have reincarnated as a Flame Fiend. I already reached Level 35, so the corpse of a Level 35 Flame Fiend should be the best option to level up.

'That kind of guy shouldn't be in such a remote area. He is definitely not the descendant of a powerful Demon. Maybe he is the offspring of a passing Flame Demon? Getting rid of him shouldn't bring trouble.

'It's a pity that Mafa Merlin reincarnated as an Abyssal Magic Bug... I won't have the opportunity to shatter his head.

'Abyssal Magic Bug, haha, that's a huge joke. That kind of lifeform that wouldn't live past three days relies on their powerful breeding ability to survive…'

Rousing himself from his thoughts, he suddenly shouted, "Advance, you fools, what are you looking at? Attack with all your might, charge! If the enemy's fort isn't shattered by daybreak, you'll all turn to ashes!"

A Goat-horned Monster saw Steer laughing and thought it was a good time to fawn over him. But as soon as he walked up to Steer, he heard Steer's roar and his head was slapped into paste.

The abyssal army in the rear was unfazed. This was a Demon's attitude: moody, slaughtering daily, and laughing one instant while attacking the next. It was normal.
