Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen and the others immediately tensed up again, silently preparing for battle.

They had killed so many of the Dongli Clan of Changhen Dongli that they had slain many brothers of the Carapaced Changhen Dongli, and the enmity was now immense.

Yet Carapaced Changhen Dongli only offered a faint smile, "Don't be nervous. You killing the other Changhen Dongli is actually a good thing for me, you could say that you've done me a favor. I have no intention of seeking revenge just because you killed them."

"What do you mean?" Wei Shoucheng, who had climbed down from the ropes, asked with a frown.

Carapaced Changhen Dongli explained, "Our Dongli clan can birth many descendants at once, but there can be only one true heir. Each Changhen Dongli must use their own strength to obtain the true inheritance, which means they need to defeat and kill the other Changhen Dongli, until only one remains—the true Changhen Dongli."

"In other words, you killing the other Changhen Dongli is essentially doing me a favor by saving me the time and effort of killing them myself."

Lin Shen and the rest listened, dumbfounded. With their own racial concepts, they simply could not understand what Carapaced Changhen Dongli was saying.

"To express my gratitude, I'll kill you as my way of repaying you," another statement from Carapaced Changhen Dongli left them stunned all over again.

They simply could not grasp the notion of the Changhen Dongli, where killing one's foes was a way of expressing thanks.

Lin Shen and his companions thought that what Changhen Dongli had previously said was all sarcasm, that in the end, he still wanted to avenge those Changhen Dongli they had killed.

"If it's revenge you want, then why waste time with all this nonsense?" Wei Shoucheng gripped the Phoenix Plume Knife, as a terrifying purple aura rose from both the blade and himself.

"You are mistaken. As I've said, your killing them is something for which I am thankful," Carapaced Changhen Dongli, incredibly patient, slowly explained: "Killing you is the greatest thanks I can offer. As I've told you before, only one Changhen Dongli is the true heir, and I am now that true heir, having acquired the ability to pass on the inheritance. But, our Dongli clan has a rather troublesome method of passing on our lineage; it requires other species as a host."

"I have decided to carry out my inheritance on this planet, and all the species on it shall become hosts for my offspring. Every creature will have an inheritance seed implanted within them, which will root, germinate inside your bodies, and gradually absorb the energy within, until the host is completely consumed."

"As a host, you'll find living becomes extremely painful. You can still eat and think, but you'll be aware of the growing inheritance seed within you, feel the torment as it eats away at your body, and endure the agony of its roots burrowing into your flesh and bones. Such pain is nearly unbearable." Read latest stories on empire

"By that time, even if you wish to die, you'll no longer have the ability to take your own lives, and can only suffer through an extended agony until you are consumed alive. So, by killing you, preventing you from becoming hosts and sparing you that inhumane suffering, I am paying back your favor."

Lin Shen's face turned extremely grim; never had he imagined that somewhere in the universe there could be such a malevolent race, one that reproduced in such a vicious manner.

The group exchanged looks and all simultaneously unleashed their strength, launching an attack on the Carapaced Changhen Dongli.

Wei Shoucheng and Wei Shouxin's Blade Qi, one to the left and one to the right, transformed into two Purple Qi Phoenixes and slashed at Changhen Dongli.

The Death Powder in Lin Shen's hand, too, was like a spear thrusting at Changhen Dongli, with its spear tip sending out a purple beam of light that, advancing at an incredible speed, reached Carapaced Changhen Dongli even before the Phoenix Blade Qi of Wei Shoucheng and Wei Shouxin.

Carapaced Changhen Dongli raised one hand, and facing the beam of True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light shot by the Death Powder, fired a black beam of light.

The collision of black and red light beams in space resulted in mutual annihilation, with neither gaining an advantage.

His other hand alternating palms and backhands, slapped upon the Phoenix Blade Qi. One after another, he disbanded the Blade Qi like dissipating smoke.

It was as if what Wei Shoucheng and his team had slashed out was not astonishing Purple Profound Qi but merely a puff of mist.

Everyone was greatly shocked, this Changhen Dongli in the black carapace was even stronger than the one they had fought before, and not by just a slight margin.

Lin Shen immediately threw out the Death Powder, which, trailing red light, rushed towards Changhen Dongli. Wei Shoucheng and Wei Shouxin also charged forward, attacking Changhen Dongli together with the Death Powder.

Death Powder, along with two Nirvana Level powerhouses, were surprisingly unable to get the upper hand against Changhen Dongli.

Changhen Dongli stood there, handling the Death Powder with one hand and Wei Shoucheng and his team with the other, his feet unmoved, blocking all their attacks.

Lin Shen had already summoned the Inheritance Fan and was repeatedly fanning towards Changhen Dongli with both Sway Style and Folding Style activated, as the Mysterious Light Pattern descended upon Changhen Dongli.

Wei Wufu also donned the White Robe Life Base, an invisible aura unfolding around him, his robe stirring without any wind.

They did not rush forward because their speed could not keep up with the intensity of a Nirvana Level battle; rushing in might have been more of a hindrance than a help.

Three Weakening Skills landed on Changhen Dongli, which immediately reduced his speed and strength significantly.

Lin Shen then took out the Mutated Jade Exquisite, planning to have it use the Base Talent "Suppressing Mountains and Rivers" to continue weakening Changhen Dongli.

But before he could command the Mutated Jade Exquisite to activate Suppressing Mountains and Rivers, he saw black luminescence rising from Changhen Dongli's black carapace.

The Fan Dance skill, which had nearly never met a predator, had encountered its nemesis.

The Mysterious Light Pattern branded on the black carapace was quickly dissolving in that black glow, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Lin Shen's face drained of color in shock; it was the first time his Fan Dance skill had failed.

Changhen Dongli moved rapidly, and while Wei Shoucheng and Wei Shouxin were already quite fast, they seemed sluggish in comparison to Changhen Dongli.

Bang bang!

With a palm to each, Changhen Dongli struck Wei Shoucheng and Wei Shouxin on their chests, simultaneously sending them flying.

Wei Shoucheng and Wei Shouxin crashed into the mountain wall, spewing blood from their mouths. On their chests, the carapace showed a palm-shaped deficit as if a part of it had vanished out of thin air.

"This ability… Black Cap Mushroom King…" Lin Shen was even more startled internally. He had seen this ability before; it was precisely the Black Cap Mushroom King that had used this move.

At that time, Lin Shen had been amazed by this ability, and now seeing it again, it felt almost insurmountable.

Only the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light from the Death Powder could contend against Changhen Dongli's ability, but even that was merely contending.

One red and one black, the two glows clashed and dissolved in the sky, unable to overcome each other for the moment.
