CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 105: THE TRUE "NIRVANA

The intense pain continuously assaulted Nirvana’s brain, its insect legs deeply embedded in the ground, while its pair of ao clamps opened and closed at an astounding frequency.

One could imagine how terrifying the pain it was enduring right now.

Even so, Nirvana still didn’t make any sound.

A moment later, a series of "crackling" noises came from Nirvana’s insect legs.

Chu Chen focused his gaze and found that its insect legs were actually beginning to break. Once the insect legs completely broke, the energy inside its body repaired them once more.

After several repetitions, Nirvana’s insect legs became thicker and sturdier. At this point, its insect legs no longer broke, as if they had already met the standard for evolution.

However, the insect armor on its body began to shatter.

Thus, Nirvana was reborn time and again through these cycles of shattering.

At this moment, its pain-sensing nerves seemed numbed, as no matter how much the pain pounded, it was unwavering.

As time passed, Nirvana’s insect armor no longer shattered, instead a layer of earth-green energy enveloped it.

This energy was extremely gentle, continuously nourishing Nirvana’s body, or more accurately, transforming it.

Now, instead of pain, Nirvana felt enjoyment, with the warm energy continuously flooding into its entire being.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Having persisted to this point, Nirvana’s path of evolution was more than halfway complete, now just requiring absorption of the residual energy within its body.

As time passed slowly, the aura within Nirvana grew increasingly stronger, showing signs of breaking through the War General Level barrier.

It was believed that after successful evolution, Nirvana could smoothly break through to the War General Level.

An hour later, the energy on Nirvana’s surface was completely exhausted.

At this moment, Nirvana suddenly opened its eyes and let out a joyful roar.

The aura within it surged wildly like a great flood breaking through a dam.

In just a breath, it had stepped into the War General Level.

The chasm that had once obstructed its path now felt like a flat road it effortlessly traversed.

This gave Nirvana an unreal feeling, was it truly Fang Tao that had prevented it from growing stronger and not its talent?

Upon entering the War General Level, the rise in Nirvana’s aura didn’t slow down, but instead intensified.

Advancing from the early, middle, and late stages of the First Rank, it reached the late stage of the Second Rank and finally stopped.

Witnessing this, Chu Chen showed signs of astonishment.

Though the evolution potion’s materials were star treasures rich in star power, this star power was mostly utilized for body transformation, with the remaining star power insufficient to elevate Nirvana’s realm to such heights.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Chen seemed to realize something; Nirvana’s continuous breakthroughs were likely related to its accumulated strength.

Nirvana had been stalled from breaking through to the War General Level due to its quality, but it never gave up, persistently cultivating, with its body’s accumulated star power reaching its limits. The enhancement in quality this time converted its accrued star power into a realm elevation.

At this moment, Chu Chen felt a surge of intense soul power arise within him.

Chu Chen immediately showed joy; the feedback had come quickly indeed.

He didn’t dare delay, swiftly entering a state of meditation.

Once he completely refined the soul power within him, his realm had reached the mid-stage of Soul Warrior Level Second Rank.

This unexpected surprise left Chu Chen utterly excited.

His overflowing emotions took a while to calm.

Taking a few deep breaths, Chu Chen finally suppressed his inner excitement.

Only then did he have the time to examine Nirvana’s changes.

Nirvana’s size had increased by a circle, its height growing from the original one meter to one and a half meters, its body length from two meters skyrocketing to three meters.

The color of its exterior also changed, the originally black insect armor and blue insect legs transformed into a yellowish-brown, though green stripes covered it.

Apart from the color change, the thickness and hardness of the insect armor had at least doubled, and the armor’s surface was extremely smooth, resembling tough metal at a glance.

Its primary attack weapon, the jaw scissors, also became more massive, with serrated edges, undoubtedly boosting its destructive power.

The once fragile insect legs had become sturdier, and protected by the thick insect armor, its legs were no longer a weak point.

Even just from its exterior appearance, Chu Chen was quite satisfied, then he summoned the Slaughter Atlas to review Nirvana’s information.

Star Beast Name: Wood Ant

Life Level: Growth Stage

Star Beast Quality: Elite Level, Upper Grade

Star Beast Talent: Disguise, F-level

Star Beast Level: War General Level Second Rank

Power Talent: D-level

Defense Talent: D-level

Agility Talent: E-level

Physical Talent: E-level

Soul Power Talent: E-level

Star Power Talent: D-level

Star Beast Attribute: Wood Element, Earth Element

Star Beast Skills: Jaw Scissors (Ordinary Level, Skilled Realm), Wooden Cone (Elite Level, Entry Realm), Earth Rock Armor (Elite Level, Entry Realm), Limb Regeneration (Elite Level, Entry Realm)

Seeing Nirvana’s information, Chu Chen couldn’t help but show a look of pleasant surprise.

The quality had increased from Ordinary Level Upper Grade to Elite Level Upper Grade, spanning across an entire major grade.

Its life level also regressed from the Mature Stage to the Growth Stage, meaning Nirvana’s size could grow even larger.

With the increase in size, its attack, defense, and endurance would receive a notable enhancement.

The growth potential in six dimensions had also significantly increased.

Of course, the biggest change lay in its skills.

The jaw scissors was a skill it previously mastered, unfortunately due to Fang Tao’s improper training, this skill remained at the Skilled Realm.

The only pity was that the Thunder Jaw Clamp vanished due to evolution, but the appearance of Wooden Cone made up for the lack of attack means.

Besides the Wooden Cone, Nirvana also comprehended two more skills, Earth Rock Armor being a defensive skill, combined with the inherent defense of its insect armor, Nirvana’s defensive power had increased by at least fifty percent.

As for Limb Regeneration, it was a unique skill for insect-type guardian beasts, allowing injuries or broken limbs to recover in a very short time.

Of course, such an impressive effect does consume a considerable amount, besides consuming star power, it also depletes a part of the guardian beast’s life force.

However, this depleted life force can be replenished over time or through food.

Limb Regeneration paired with More Resilient, this is nothing short of miraculous.

The More Resilient talent strengthens the guardian beast in proportion to the severity of its injuries, but to preserve the guardian beast’s life and combat power, beast masters typically do not let the guardian beast sustain too much harm, making this a somewhat impractical skill.

Hardly any guardian beast can perfectly utilize such a talent.

However, when paired with Limb Regeneration, this problem is perfectly solved.

Injuries or broken legs are no longer a concern for Nirvana, as it can recover completely using Limb Regeneration, even enhancing its strength, becoming a literally invincible shield that grows stronger with each battle.

Reaching such a level, a prerequisite is required, that the guardian beast possesses combat will, fortunately, Nirvana matches this criteria, which is why Chu Chen originally chose to take it in.

After setting the plan, Chu Chen had no hesitation, he directly stripped the Blood Tiger Beast’s talent, bestowing it onto Nirvana.

Thus, an immortal shield had initially taken shape, and Nirvana had truly completed its "Nirvana."
