After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Eternal Body, Eye of the Firmament.

These are the new Passive Skill and Talent that Taotie awakened after its evolution.

Not only that, but the previous two passive skills, Water Mimicry: Repose and Water Spirit Scales, had both disappeared.

These two passives were based on the previous species and generated as species passives; naturally, they vanished after evolving into a new species.

Instead, the Vortex of Demise had surprisingly remained, which was an unexpected delight – perhaps it's related to the Eye of the Firmament also being a higher being of the crocodile-like monsters.

As for Divinity, based on Chen Xing's observations of the divinity of different life forms during this period,

he had roughly understood the relationship between Divinity values and enhancement characteristics.

A single point of Divinity could coalesce into a level 1 Divinity Amplification.

Two points of Divinity would result in a 1.1 level Divinity Amplification.

The effect of Divinity increase was not linear growth, but exponential.

It took ten points of Divinity to coalesce into a level 2 Divinity Amplification.

Extrapolating from this, it was estimated that one would need a hundred points of Divinity to coalesce into a level 3 Divinity Amplification.

But where had these 60 points of Divinity come from?

According to his understanding, isn't Divinity obtained only after devouring creatures that possess Divinity?

Recalling the recent evolution process, Chen Xing's mind conjured up four key suspects.

One, the undead thrown in by the Rat of Death, which is suspected to be an entity that has stepped onto the path of legend; the undead it carried might not be ordinary and could be a part of its own body.

Two, the devoured Titan's Heart; mature Titans are beings of Ascension Level, so it seems logical that the Titan's Heart, born from the essence of the fallen Titan, contained a portion of Divinity.

Three, that red beam of light descending from the Scarlet Moon, which wanted to retreat after crushing the life that was gestating within the Titan's Heart; it seemed to have self-awareness and was seemingly intercepted by the Domain Stele in the end.

Four, the Domain Stele that vanished after evolution.

Any of the four suspects were possible, and it's even possible that multiple targets contributed to the Divinity.

However, compared to Divinity, Chen Xing placed more value on the newly emerged authority.

According to regularity, the later an item appears on the new interface, the more precious it is.

The name alone provokes imagination.

Authority, but whose?

Chen Xing couldn't help but ponder.

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out what this authority entailed; it was incomplete and not whole.

"Let's leave for now. There's been too much commotion here; other people will likely come." Qiu Shangqing said.

The eye in the sky was very conspicuous, and one could probably see it from a great distance.

It was best to leave as quickly as possible.

"Okay."

Chen Xing agreed as well. Now that Taotie had completed its evolution, its combat strength had skyrocketed, but if it faced an unknown number of enemies, victory wasn't guaranteed.

On the road, Chen Xing checked the new Talents and Passive Skills acquired by Taotie.

By viewing the panel, he roughly understood their effects.

First was the passive skill, Eternal Body, which is an effect similar to a constant rule. All skill and physical damage against Taotie would be greatly reduced.

The reduction ranged from 10% to 50%.

This figure depended on the size difference between the two sides; the larger Taotie was in size compared to its opponent, the more the damage would be reduced.

Second was the Eye of the Firmament, which Chen Xing found most interesting.

He had a premonition it was a core ability similar to the Dark Realm Judgment.

Sure enough, it was a multifunctional ability.

It was divided into three layers of effects.

The most basic was the state of the Eye of the Firmament seen just before.

Under this state, Taotie would have a third-person perspective akin to that of a god, and under the illumination of the Eye of the Firmament, Taotie's physical strength would double.

At the same time, the godlike perspective of the Eye of the Firmament could see through stealth, invisibility, disguises, and similar effects.

The second layer of the state was that under the illumination of the Eye of the Firmament, all beings would be scrutinized.

Once scrutinized, the Eye of the Firmament gained the power of punishment over the target.

The damage of this punishment would increase over time, and the Eye of the Firmament could strike multiple targets at once, as long as they were within the striking range of its scrutiny.

The third layer would endow the Eye of the Firmament with even more powerful forms of striking, but currently, due to insufficient development and the youthful stage of the Sky Scar Behemoth, the talent couldn't reach deeper levels of transformation.

This compensated for Taotie's lack of long-distance striking and area-of-effect abilities.

On the back of the Phantom Fire Bat, Qin Xuan inquired, "Have you gathered all the materials needed for your Beast Taming Transcendence?"

Chen Xing shook his head, "I've collected most of them."

Taotie was also on the path of the Four Transcendences, and just like the initial Four Transcendences, it now had to prepare the same materials.

However, these materials were not easy to collect, especially a few key core materials for which Chen Xing had offered bounties for a long time without getting any leads.

"Which ones are you still missing?" Qin Xuan asked.

Chen Xing's expression shifted slightly, guessing Qin Xuan's intent.

He then mentioned the four materials he needed.

Qin Xuan said, "Two of these are controlled Secret Treasures, considered strategic materials, and you can't normally buy them through regular channels, but I happen to have some connections."

Chen Xing suddenly realized why he had found no leads after looking in the syndicate for so long.

The materials needed for the Four Transcendences were actually considered strategic materials.

At that moment, Qiu Shangqing flipped his palm and a lump of platinum metal appeared, "Here, I have the Cloud Gold you need, so you don't have to gather it anymore."

"Old Qiu..." Qin Xuan looked resentfully at Qiu Shangqing; he had wanted to do a favor for Chen Xing.

Ever since seeing Taotie evolve, Chen Xing's importance in his eyes had skyrocketed.
