Heroes' Prison

Chapter 519 - 509: The 5th Evolution

Now, Huang Yi was already of Holy Domain Rank, so it was possible to try that drop of mysterious python blood again.

He took out the bottle containing the mysterious python’s blood, which was still in its original form, drop by drop, with very strong cohesiveness. It neither dissolved nor solidified.

Huang Yi opened the bottle cap, carefully extracted one drop, and attempted to absorb it.

"[System Prompt]: You have obtained the blood of a mysterious species. Do you choose to absorb and evolve?"

Huang Yi immediately chose yes!

Suddenly, a sucking force emanated from his palm, trying to absorb that drop of mysterious python blood into his body. But a familiar scene occurred: no matter how strong the suction from his palm was, the drop of blood remained the same, without even a hint of dissolving.

"[System Prompt]: The target blood is too potent to absorb."

As expected, the next moment the familiar system prompt appeared. This drop of snake blood was still too powerful, and even though Huang Yi had ascended to the Holy Domain, he still couldn’t use it for evolution. This only made Huang Yi more certain of his speculation that the mysterious python must be an existence beyond his comprehension, unknown in its origins.

Huang Yi, feeling helpless, had no choice but to put the drop of python blood back into the bottle and wait until the level 120 evolution to try again.

Apart from the mysterious python blood, Huang Yi currently had four other extremely potent types of blood, all of Holy Domain Level. They were the blood of Heavenly Domain Half-Beast Barbarian of the Heavenly Realm; the blood of the Demonic Creatures’ Fallen Messenger; the blood of the Sea Dragon Emperor; and the blood of Ancient Giants!

Of these four blood types, Huang Yi valued the Ancient Giants’ blood the most! The movements of the Demon Clan had become more frequent recently, and since the Ancient Giants were the bane of the Demon Clan, if he could evolve into an Ancient Giant, he would have a strategy to deal with a large-scale invasion of the Demon Clan in the future.

Huang Yi took out a drop of the Ancient Giant’s golden blood and tried to absorb it.

But, once again, the familiar scene occurred; the potency of this blood was too great, and he was still unable to absorb it. The Ancient Giant was no ordinary Holy Domain warrior; its sheer size made it far more formidable than other warriors of the same rank.

Setting aside the Ancient Giant’s blood, there were still three Holy Domain Level blood types left. Huang Yi pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that these three types of blood had some connection to the forms he had evolved into before!

First was the blood of the Barbarian, who was a Holy Domain warrior of the Half-Beastmen, and Huang Yi had previously evolved into a Half-Beastman.

The second was the Sea Dragon Emperor’s blood; the ancestors of the White Dragon Clan were a branch of the Sea Dragon Clan that had migrated along the rivers to the lakes on the continent, and Huang Yi’s evolution at level 40 was into the White Dragon Clan.

Last was the blood of the Fallen Messenger, a Demonic Creature, and Huang Yi’s evolution at level 80 was into the Eyeless Demon form, which is also a type of Demonic Creature.

With a sudden stroke of inspiration, Huang Yi thought of a question: what if it was the same race, but with a more potent type of blood used for a second evolution? What would happen?

Thinking this, he immediately took out the blood of the Heavenly Domain Half-Beast Barbarian and gave absorption a try!

"[System Prompt]: The target blood is Half-Beast blood, which can be absorbed. Since you have already evolved into a Half-Beast before, once absorbed, deep evolution will occur, enhancing the Half-Beastman form’s bloodline and becoming a Half-Beastman beyond the level of common races."

Receiving this system prompt, Huang Yi was slightly startled. He didn’t expect that repeating evolution could bring about such an event. Half-Beastmen were one of the hundred common races, and on average, there were also a hundred million Half-Beast players worldwide. But now, once Huang Yi evolved into a Half-Beastman again, he would surpass all existing Half-Beast players and become a Half-Beast surpassing the common race level, which was an unheard-of method of evolution.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Yi chose to evolve. He also wanted to see what this so-called deep evolution was all about.

Instantly, the drop of the Barbarian’s blood in his palm was slowly absorbed, penetrating the skin and entering the depths of his body.

In a flash, he felt that something inside of him seemed to be drawn out and began to agitate, ready to start evolving towards a higher level.

This time around, the evolution lacked the previous pain; it was rather comfortable. His whole body felt warm and tingly, and soon he was drenched in sweat, as if he had just taken a sauna.

After ten minutes, the tingling sensation finally dissipated, and Huang Yi received a system prompt—

[System Prompt]: Congratulations on completing the deep evolution.

Current Evolution Stage: Sixth Rank

Current Evolution Form: Mutated Half-Beastman, replacing the original Half-Beastman form

Current Form Talents:

[Immunity Evolution]: Disease resistance +100, Poison resistance +100, Complete immunity from any disease and poison, and own disease and poison attacks increased by 20%. Under Beast King Form, the effect of this talent is halved.

[Mutated Body]: Under Mutated Half-Beastman Form, Constitution +20%, Defense +20%. Under Beast King Form, the effect of this talent is halved.

[Kin Slayer]: Insight into the abilities of the Half-Beast Race, damage taken from attacks by Half-Beast Race is halved; When attacking the Half-Beast Race, damage inflicted is doubled. Under Beast King Form, the effect of this talent is halved.

[Child of the Forest]: In the forest, All Attributes +10%. Under Beast King Form, the effect of this talent is halved.

[Absolute Physique]: In Mutated Half-Beastman Form, no matter how severe the damage, one needs to be attacked at least four times to be killed. Under Beast King Form, the effect of this talent is halved.

Racial Skills:

[Vajra Body]: Can only be used in Mutated Half-Beastman Form, temporarily converts attack capabilities into survival capabilities, Attack power, Critical hit rate, Critical hit effect reduced by 90%; Health points, Defense points, Dodge value increased by 10 times. Lasts 20 minutes, cooldown: 10 days.

A deep evolution is indeed different! Previously, after evolving, Huang Yi would only gain some abilities of that Race, but it wasn’t comprehensive, and the system would only generally provide some hidden improvements.

But this time, the deep evolution has improved the Race. It’s essentially still Half-Beastman, but with a stronger bloodline, and new Racial Talents and skills have emerged.

Take the first talent, [Immunity Evolution], for example. Previously the Half-Beast Race had a 95% immunity to disease and poison, which is already very high. Normally, resistance can only be added up to 75 points, like Huang Yi’s Fire Resistance, which after reaching 75 points, could no longer be increased, and the maximum damage immune from fire attacks could not exceed 75%, with the remaining 25% still needing to be endured; therefore, 75 points is also referred to as the full value for resistance.

But in some special circumstances, it’s possible to break free from this limitation, such as the racial talents. The Half-Beast Race’s most famous capability is their 95% immunity to diseases and poisons! However, this ability still hasn’t reached the level of complete immunity; there are still some diseases and poisons that could be fatal to them. The most typical was the Plague that the Dark King Uk’ar brought with him when he invaded this continent thirty years ago; even Half-Beastmen could not withstand it and would still die.

Now, however, Huang Yi’s Mutated Half-Beastman form has the ability for complete immunity, meaning no disease or toxin, no matter how deadly, could threaten him anymore.

However, this is only achievable in the Mutated Half-Beastman form; under the Beast King Form, the effectiveness of this talent is halved.

The third talent, [Kin Slayer], clearly targets the Half-Beast Race. After the deep evolution, Huang Yi has become more powerful than the current Half-Beastmen, stepping into the future of the long evolutionary history of the Half-Beast Race, becoming the nemesis of his own kind. He can receive half the damage from attacks by Half-Beastmen; Yet when he attacks members of the Half-Beast Race, the damage he inflicts is doubled. The extent of this give-and-take is very clear.

However, in the face of absolute power, this talent is useless. For example, the Heavenly Domain Half-Beastmen barbarian called Man Tian. Being of such a high level, even if their attack’s damage was halved, it would still be enough to instakill Huang Yi; he simply couldn’t withstand it.

An additional talent that Huang Yi values is the last one, [Absolute Physique], which is similar to his Death Penalty Exemption, but even more powerful. No matter how severe the attack, he would need to be hit four times to be killed. It reminded him of the Godslayer’s Mark, which also required a predetermined number of hits to be defeated, regardless of the attack’s strength. The only difference is that Under Beast King Form, the effectiveness of this talent is halved—from four hits to two.

In terms of racial skills, the skill [Vajra Body] far surpasses the previous Half-Beast racial skill [Tracking Scent]. This skill can temporarily turn Huang Yi into a T-class, with weakened attack ability, but first-class resistance to blows.

The only downside is that this racial skill can only be used in Mutated Half-Beastman Form; it cannot be used in Beast King Form. During combat, Huang Yi can only transform once; once he changes into the Mutated Half-Beastman form, he cannot revert back and must continue to use this form to fight the enemy until the battle is over.

Overall, this evolution is somewhat better than evolving into other species, as after all, deep evolution is on a different level.

With this, the fifth evolution is completed. In just one night, Huang Yi’s strength has increased several times over what it was yesterday! Breaking through to the Holy Domain, bestowing name attributes, leveling up by 13 levels, major equipment updates, skill upgrades, deep evolution...

The long-standing bottleneck at level 90+ was finally explosively released at this moment, and he can now stride boldly forward again.

But the events of tonight are still not over; after breaking through to level 100, there is another matter that can be taken care of, and that is the War Soul Advancement!

————————————————————————————————————————————————

So many things happen at level 100, some settings need to be rethought, which is rather troublesome. I’ve been thinking all day about the deep evolution of the Half-Beastmen and the War Soul Advancement. Let me think it over another night, and I will deliver four updates tomorrow.

Of course, I write quite slowly, and it takes me a while to consider things, so it may be very late before I get them posted. I will try to finish writing earlier. (To be continued.
