Chapter 319: Chapter 271: The Fourth Evolution

More powerful, more agile, stronger!

It wasn’t just his legs; he felt that they had been massively strengthened in every way.

The evolution was all-encompassing. Some of his abilities that were already strong had now become even stronger.

Following his legs came his arms, chest, and abdomen.

When the enhancement reached his chest and abdomen, Su Ze looked down at his own empty torso and couldn’t help but feel it was incredibly strange.

His four limbs and head were suspended in mid-air, connected to a chest that had disintegrated into a cellular state.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would have been astonished.

However, what came next was even more bizarre: the enhancement of his brain.

Su Ze’s brain directly "exploded," breaking down into countless cells. Yet, Su Ze found that his consciousness remained perfectly clear, as if he could think even without a brain.

The brain’s enhancement took an exceptionally long time. In his headless state, Su Ze sat upright on the bed, waiting quietly, occasionally reaching up to touch the smooth stump of his neck.

After a long while, the enhancement of his brain was complete, and it finally returned to its place.

Su Ze let out a long sigh of relief, knowing that the second step of his fourth evolution was complete.

He now possessed the body of a Saint-tier Overlord and evolution power on par with a Saint-tier Overlord.

Before, only his physique had reached the Overlord level, but in terms of his fundamental structure, there was still a gap between him and a true Overlord.

But now that he had become a true Saint-tier Overlord, his physical body was enhanced once more. His physique was now comparable to that of the stronger Overlords.

Next was the third and final step of this evolution: the evolution of his Spiritual Power.

Su Ze’s Spiritual Power had already reached the Saint tier thanks to the massive boost from the Divine Dice. For him, this Spiritual Power evolution was simply another upgrade.

Previously, his Spiritual Power was about the same as an ordinary, non-spiritual-type Overlord. But the boost from this evolution made his Spiritual Power far surpass that of a typical Overlord!

While it might not match that of a Spiritual-type Overlord, even without activating "Unyielding Will," the impact of a spiritual attack from a Spiritual-type Overlord would now be very limited.

If he activated "Unyielding Will," he could become completely immune to spiritual attacks from Spiritual-type Overlords. Even a spiritual attack from a Spiritual Venerable wouldn’t be able to kill him.

With that, the fourth evolution was completely finished!

Su Ze had successfully stepped into the Saint tier!

He was finally an Overlord!

A tyrannical aura swept out in all directions. Having just completed his breakthrough, Su Ze couldn’t yet properly restrain his own power.

Fortunately, everything in his room on the airship was made from High-tier Spiritual Plants and was exceptionally sturdy, so nothing was damaged.

’I must be the youngest Saint-tier Overlord on Blue Star since the beginning of the Era of Evolution...’ Su Ze stood up, feeling the changes within himself as he gradually familiarized himself with and controlled his power.

’So this is the Saint tier?’

’So strong!’

Feeling the explosive, all-around surge in his attributes, Su Ze finally understood why the Saint tier was so invincible to Extraordinary Stage evolvers.

Only a cheater like him could fight above his level and take on the Saint tier while still in the Butterfly Stage.

"The me of today could probably crush the me of yesterday with ease, right?" Su Ze muttered to himself. After such a massive surge in strength, it was inevitable that his ego would swell a bit too.

"Before, I could defeat weak Overlords. Now, fighting a strong Overlord is definitely no problem. I wonder how many Sun Xiayuns I could take down with one punch."

As his evolution level increased, all of Su Ze’s skills also received a fundamental enhancement.

With his body and mind strengthened in every aspect and his skills enhanced, Su Ze’s power had increased exponentially.

However, the excitement didn’t last long. Su Ze’s expression quickly fell.

Because, just as he had expected, his "Divine Grace of Evolution" skill had become ineffective!

At the Saint-tier Overlord stage, he, like everyone else, could only absorb one tube of a fifth-tier extract, not two!

Su Ze took a deep breath. Although he had long suspected this day would come, now that it was here, he still felt the pressure.

He had hoped the Evolution Divine Grace Skill would become ineffective later, perhaps only when he became a Venerable. That way, he could delay his trip to Mu Country and his confrontation with the Mu King, giving him more time to grow stronger and increase his chances of success.

But since "Divine Grace of Evolution" had failed at the Overlord stage, he had no choice but to seek out the Mu King while still at the Overlord stage.

Otherwise, by the time he became a Venerable, even if he found another Bloodline Crystal and restored "Divine Grace of Evolution," he would have missed out on a skill slot and an absorption opportunity from the Overlord stage.

The power of "Divine Grace of Evolution" lay in absorbing one more tube of extract than others at every stage. This advantage accumulated over time, growing larger and larger, gradually widening the gap between him and other evolvers of the same rank.

If that chain was broken, he would lose far more than just a single skill from the Overlord stage.

To fully leverage the advantage of this skill and to go further in the future, Su Ze had to restore the Divine Grace of Evolution during his time as an Overlord.

At this point, Su Ze was completely decided. Returning to Mu Country was now on his agenda.

Just then, Su Ze suddenly felt something sticky in his palm. He opened his hand and saw a layer of foul-smelling black sweat that had appeared at some point. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It wasn’t just his palm; his entire body was covered in a layer of the sticky black sweat.

’This is...’

Su Ze caught a whiff of a familiar stench from the sweat.

He instantly understood. This was another portion of the stench from his body being expelled.

Liou Wenxin had once said that as his evolution level increased, his body would gradually expel the "stench genes" within him.

It seemed that after becoming a Saint-tier lifeform, he had indeed expelled some of the stench. However, Su Ze felt that it definitely hadn’t all been cleansed.
