The Evolution Compendium

BOOM—

A dull explosion, mixed with a roar and countless wolf howls, echoed from the doorway.

At the entrance stood a bizarre giant, its four arms swollen and split into entwining veins like countless vines, resembling a flesh-and-blood tree full of branches and leaves, sprouting hundreds of arms.

The giant's legs, however, were rooted in the ground, drawing strength from the earth to sustain this explosive form.

Its opponent, a Demon Wolf, looked terrified as the giant's chaotic, branched arms swept past, smashing the wolf into a bloody mist.

"This is all Albert's men can do?"

Long Bo sneered and was the first to enter, preventing ambush by unleashing his full power and swiftly dispatching the guarding Demon Wolf.

As a young prodigy of the Bell Tower Association, he cultivated the giant system, able to wield the Mighty Power of the giants to its fullest, terrifying extent.

Behind him, a group of powerful figures entered the secret passage one after another. Their bodies were golden, like the flesh and blood inside a living creature—quite miraculous.

"Such rich vitality."

Chu Yi's gaze swept across. On the Golden Tree Body were engraved circuit-like Life Marks. His Deceit Beast was eager, wanting to devour it all.

Beside him, Mu Yun licked her pink lips, tugging Chu Yi's arm and urging, "The tasty ones are just ahead! Chu Yi, let's hurry!"

Ignoring the soft touch on his arm, Chu Yi looked forward, where countless powerful figures had already set off.

The Blood Race unfolded their bat wings, transforming into blood-hued rainbows.

Hong Yu smiled coquettishly, and as countless rose petals wafted past on a fragrant breeze, she vanished from sight.

Long Bo swore, his branches twisting, as he clumsily followed behind.

"So impatient."

German, carrying his Brush Scythe, turned his head to look at Chu Yi, curiously asking, "Aren't you going?"

Chu Yi gave him a strange look. "Me, a weak and helpless Silver Beast Tamer? Go up there just to get myself killed?"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you!"

Mu Yun patted her ample chest, confidently saying, "I'll take the lead. Let's go quickly."

Saying this, she licked her lips, the very picture of a foodie.

Chu Yi was speechless. Dummy, I'll give you a couple of punches!

"Haha, you can't be weak if you made it here."

German squinted. "Interested in joining the Healing Church? Some special Pet Beasts might intrigue a Beast Tamer like you."

He had paid attention to Chu Yi. Beast Taming was just a side job for Chu Yi, integrated into his own combat system. His overall strength was at the Dawn Star stage.

"Thank you. If there's a chance, I will definitely visit," Chu Yi smiled.

The two chatted happily, but their pace slowed simultaneously.

Ahead, a violent commotion erupted, shaking the entire hall.

"Andre, you have some nerve!"

William was furious, drawing out countless scarlet blood lines with both hands, each transforming into chains as he battled a Tomb Guardian carrying a giant tombstone.

It was a Nightmare Tomb Guardian, an Undead and Curse dual-attribute Pet Beast of the King level.

This was a special Pet Beast, formed by combining a Night Demon with a Candlekeeper—a fusion-type Pet Beast the Undead Association specialized in.

"I do as I please. Who are you to interfere?"

Andre snorted coldly, standing on the shoulder of a Skeleton Monarch, commanding five King-level Pet Beasts to hold off the Blood Race.

In comparison, at the same level, the Beast Taming system could handle multiple foes. It was dazzling and brilliant, stronger than the bloodline system of the Dark World.

Furthermore, Andre's Pet Beasts, which possessed Undead, Curse, and Ghost attributes, worked in synergy. With werewolves ambushing, they held back Avril and the others.

"Is running all you can do? Pretty boy, stop for me!"

Long Bo transformed into a flesh-and-blood tree, his branches dancing, countless arms wielding mountain-breaking power as he tangled with the Wind God Wolf.

Hong Yu took out a fan, and a sweet scent spread, confusing many werewolves. She flitted about like a butterfly but was targeted by a purple-haired girl serving Albert.

The girl blinked, her gaze deepening, and shot a purple beam.

Hong Yu, caught off guard, had an arm severed with a sickening THWACK.

"Interesting. From the Void Demon Wolf clan, and also very skilled in void-type mysticism."

Hong Yu pursed her lips. At the stump of her severed arm, flesh writhed and countless sticky tendrils emerged, sprouting maws and fangs.

Her beautiful skin also writhed slightly.

It was as if, beneath the Mutton Fat Jade-like skin, a terrifying beast lay waiting to devour.

A thrilling battle erupted between the two sides, shaking the Golden Tree Heart continuously, yet it remained unbroken, maintained by the Life Marks.

Both sides tacitly avoided disturbing the central Golden Throne.

That Holy Relic of the sequence was sealed inside. Albert took out a Magic Potion, pouring it over the seal to erode the restriction.

「White Tower.」

Innos led a group of Wizards, using the power of the White Tower to connect cards, peeping at the scene within the Golden Tree Heart.

Immediately, an image was projected, driving the on-site atmosphere to its peak. Betting tables were set up, with people speculating who could become the King and win this game!

And in the most prestigious seats of the White Tower, countless virtual projections gathered—representatives from the Bell Tower Association, Rose School, Healing Church, Undead Association, Witch Council, and others, along with Prince Morgan and Nus Wolf King.

There was even a Succubus Princess.

"To think the artifact of the sequence at stake this time is the Furnace of Life. Truly unexpected."

Innos chuckled, his own heart burning with excitement. The more popular the game became, the more profit the White Tower stood to gain.

Only money is never to be betrayed.

Moreover, this time, the King of Black Robes—a time-type taboo—had emerged. He had slain the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree under everyone's gaze, pushing this Divine War game to a new peak.
