Chapter 268: The Giant Eye that Pierces the Sky
There's no seventh wave? Or is the seventh wave the light pillar from the red moon?
It just seems to be a bit too much commotion.
"Bro, this commotion isn't small, I bet the whole Exotic Region saw it," Qin Xuan patted Chen Xing on the arm.
Chen Xing hadn't expected the evolution to be more and more imposing each time.
He had clearly only wanted to evolve stealthily...
The Titan's Heart, shrouded in the red light, beat violently, its frequency gradually increasing as if it was trying to break free from its binds and gain freedom.
However, as the heartbeat intensified, it started to emit groaning noises of unbearable strain, and cracks started to spread across its surface like a spider's web.
Finally, with a deafening explosion, the cracks on the surface of the Titan's Heart burst open, scattering fragments in all directions.
Within the shattered heart, a giant apelike creature lay curled up in a ball.
However, this move seemed to have enraged the light pillar from the red moon.
The originally fading red moon suddenly turned a deeper shade of crimson, as if it were an infuriated beast, emanating an even more terrifying aura.
The red moon's light pillar fiercely ground into the apelike creature, like a crimson giant finger descending from the heavens, pressing hard on the creature.
It was given no chance to escape. With one pitiful scream, the apelike creature was ground to dust, turning into countless golden fragments that drifted in the air like gold dust.
All of this happened too fast for anyone to react. When everyone came to their senses, all that was left were the drifting golden fragments and the Titan's Heart that was shattered beyond repair.
This strike had clearly exhausted all the power of the red light pillar; as it dissipated, peace gradually returned to the world.
However, the Domain Stele suddenly came to life.
The stele emitted a faint golden light, restraining the scattering red light pillar completely.
The power of the red light pillar and the golden fragments floated in the void, intertwining.
Almost at the same moment, above the moon.
The mysterious palace trembled violently. It split open along a slender crack, and a stream of light flew from the bottom of the palace towards the mortal realm.
A white behemoth lay inside the palace, silently watching the thing fly away.
...
Subsequently, under the influence of an invisible force, the ground's rotten flesh, bone ash, shriveled organs, and other refuse began to float.
These refuse materials, originally scattered on the ground, started to rotate slowly as if controlled by some mysterious power, as though they were partaking in a solemn and mysterious ritual.
Against the backdrop of this strange spectacle, a vague phantom emerged in the valley.
That was the soul of Taotie.
It seemed to be at the center of the ritual, quietly accepting the tribute of the refuse.
The golden light interwove with the red, slowly merging into Taotie's body. As these lights poured in, Taotie's phantom gradually began to solidify.
At the same time, the refuse floating around also began to change. They transformed into whirlpools, circling Taotie.
At the same time, a brilliant stream of light suddenly raced down from the Eye of the Firmament above, instantly entering the inside of Taotie.
In the depths of his being, Chen Xing seemed to hear a resounding roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
Simultaneously, the environment began to change dramatically. An overwhelming magic power surged in like a flood, converging around Taotie. The quantity of this magic power was so terrifying that a colossal magic vortex formed overhead.
Under the scouring of the vast magic power, flesh, bones, and innards gradually appeared as if intricately carved, coming into existence out of thin air, as if the most skilled painter in the world were painting in the void.
A blue and white behemoth over two thousand meters in length gradually came into everyone's view, majestic and enormous like a moving mountain.
The valley beneath it seemed somewhat cramped.
Its eyes were closed as if in quiet slumber, with two blue streaks resembling tear marks streaming down from the sides of its eyes.
It resembled a crocodile in shape, yet its tail bore fins and a thick golden line ran down its belly, from head to tail.
At the mouth of the valley, the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile watched the Taotie in the sky with a heavy gaze, feeling an elusive threat emanating from Taotie.
And as a Beast Tamer who had signed a pact to share the physical strength of the walker with Taotie, Chen Xing only felt his own power skyrocketing in an incredible manner.
Chen Xing was amazed to find that the mountaintop, which had been solid as a rock, now seemed as fragile as foam under his feet. By merely exerting a little force, the entire summit trembled violently as if it were going to collapse.
```
He looked toward the sky in shock at Taotie, the power inside him still rising crazily with no sign of stopping.
The extent of the physical strength Taotie had achieved after this evolution was staggering.
The disparity between red quality and golden quality seemed even bigger than he had imagined.
The gold lines on Taotie's abdomen shifted, and then Chen Xing saw Taotie's belly open!
Yes, it was as if an eye had opened.
The middle of Taotie's abdomen suddenly split open, as if a golden portal was slowly opening.
However, beyond this fissure, there was not the inside of a belly but an infinite expanse of gold, deep and mysterious, as if leading to the entrance of another dimension.
Meanwhile, in the sky above, a crack suddenly appeared, as if the firmament had been slashed by a sharp blade.
Within this rift, a huge golden eye slowly emerged, its length nearly ten thousand meters, like a bright star descending upon the world, quietly gazing down at the land, with something terrifying seemingly brewing in its depths.
Those looked upon by the golden giant eye felt completely stripped bare.
Celestial Scar Behemoth!
That was the name that surfaced in Chen Xing's mind for Taotie's evolved species.
No wonder it was given such a name.
Currently, Taotie was at an energy level of one hundred, and as its energy level continued to rise, would the Eye of the Firmament become even bigger?
Chen Xing could feel that this eye above was very high up, but not yet at the height of the sun, moon, and stars.
But he could feel that it was at least several tens of thousands of meters in the sky.
Several hundred miles around, a team of Transcendent Beast Tamers was approaching from this direction.
They were the Beast Tamers from the nearest city in the Fentian Domain.
After detecting the movement of the red light column, they suspected that treasures might have emerged and rushed over eagerly.
However, when they looked up and saw the gigantic golden eye stretching across the firmament, shining like a star, all their greed and curiosity vanished in an instant, leaving only deep fear.
The golden giant eye seemed to notice the existence of the team and turned slightly, glancing gently in their direction.
Just this glance alone made these Transcendent Beast Tamers feel an indescribable sense of oppression, as if they had been locked on by some mysterious force.
"Run!!!" the team leader cried out in terror, and then the entire team fled back the way they came, faster than they had arrived.
Any talk of treasures being born was bullshit! This was clearly a sign of a ferocious calamity's descent! That blood-red column of light was definitely the breaking of a giant fiend's seal.
When the power feedback finally stopped, Chen Xing had "slid" from the peak all the way down to the base of the mountain.
Fortunately, the hill next to the valley wasn't too high, and as his physical condition had improved, his bodily defense had also increased accordingly.
Aside from his clothes being a bit dishevelled, his body was completely unharmed.
Chen Xing opened up Taotie's current panel.
