The Evolution Compendium
Chapter 160 - 156: Clock Eye II, Power of the Ancient God, Time Blade!
CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 156: CLOCK EYE II, POWER OF THE ANCIENT GOD, TIME BLADE!
Leaving with a heap of gifts. What a generous king.
Chu Yi licked his lips and devoured the shadow of the Divine Kingdom over an entire frontier town, only then resuming his true form.
The originally crimson Ecosystem Domain had undergone a tremendous change. Looking around, it was a void, like an untamed wilderness.
Grandfather isn’t here.
He carefully searched the area. Qin Zheng couldn’t have appeared here, which was convenient for him to upgrade the Clock Eye.
With a core material from the King of Deep Red, he could unlock the next stage of the Clock Eye.
Chu Yi comforted his two Pet Beasts, immersed himself in his mind, and browsed the evolution compendium.
Soon, many evolution plans were laid out, scattered like stars in the sky.
[Eyes of World Destruction]: Retrieve a forbidden object from ancient times, sacrifice both pupils, offer soil, use the Soul as nourishment, host the flower of World Destruction, and obtain the [Destruction] sequence. Price: 500 Stones of Calamity.
[Heavy Pupils]: One eye with dual pupils, all effects doubled. Embark on the Emperor Route, draw dragon fortune, tread the invincible path among the myriad races, and dominate the world. Price: 460, Emperor Dragon Qi x1.
[Three Lives Pupils]: See through the past, present, and future; able to manifest past self, present self, and future self. Price: 200, Fragment of This Life x1, Fragment of the Past Life x1, Fragment of the Next Life x1.
[Clock Eye II]: Unlock part of the Mighty Power of the Doomsday Clock. Price: 300, Ancient Light x1.
...
Chu Yi stared for a while. There were many evolution plans more advanced than the Clock Eye, each more enticing than the last.
No way. I am a dedicated man; how can I be tempted by other plans? If I choose one and there are no follow-up routes, I’d regret it to death! Hmm, it’s definitely not because the materials for these plans are hard to collect.
To be safe, Chu Yi chose [Clock Eye II].
As for the Ancient Light, it originated from the ancient past. The Withered Time spilled by the scarlet Old Gods also satisfied this condition.
The King of Deep Red represents the old world, the old era, ignorance and savagery, the primitive and impulsive.
He licked his lips and successfully exchanged for the second stage of the Clock Eye.
Instantly, a cool sensation filled his left eye, as if embraced by the Dusk Mother Goddess, cradling his will, body, and Soul together in her warm embrace.
Immediately after, the Doomsday Clock smashed forth of its own accord.
The entire world was flooded with the twilight of dusk, raining down. An innumerable amount of golden light poured into his Clock Eye, causing it to become chaotic, twisted, and frenzied. Indescribable divine shadows gradually appeared, and countless rustling sounds spread like tides.
Or rather, all these shadows showed reverence towards the Doomsday Clock, which emanated an aura of dusk.
Accompanied by a dragon’s roar that penetrated the past, present, and future, the River of Time surged with monstrous waves.
A scarlet, six-eyed Dragon of the End flapped its wings. Its body was like a writhing mass of golden hues, and beneath its six eyes, another six eyes grew.
A scarlet, twelve-eyed Dragon of the End!
Could it be that unlocking part of the Clock’s Mighty Power allows me to summon this Divine Dragon for battle?
Chu Yi was extremely eager. This dragon beast, perched atop the Doomsday Clock, was too domineering. Taking it out for a spin would certainly shock the entire Federation.
Dragon-type Pet Beasts are an invincible presence, and pure-blooded dragons crush opponents of the same realm, let alone the bizarre and uncanny Dragon of the End.
As the dragon’s gaze swept over, it stirred the sound of surging time, causing the Little Fox to jump in fright and shrink into Chu Yi’s embrace.
Bika: (ΩДΩ)
It stared blankly, as if stiffened, while Lulina couldn’t withstand the pressure and fainted directly.
Just a glance from it was overwhelmingly difficult to withstand!
If not for the Sun and Moon Mark contract, these two Pet Beasts would have been swept by the dragon’s gaze, time reversing for them until they regressed into cells...
"Are you shaken?" Chu Yi noticed Bika’s state and was about to comfort it.
However, Bika had a look of extreme envy; the dragon form was seemingly even cooler than its own six-tailed Frenzy dragon form!
Quickly, this twelve-eyed Dragon of the End, with dusk as its wings and ancient time as its body, lazily lay back on the Doomsday Clock.
Twilight shattered, and the anomaly dissipated.
Chu Yi: "..."
That’s all? With all that commotion, I thought you had become a summonable Pet Beast.
Chu Yi, while stroking Bika’s fur, checked the Deceit Beast’s evolution interface.
[Deceit Beast]: Clock Eye II
[Grade]: High-level War General
[Level]: 44
[Attribute]: Time
[Weakness]: None
[Skill]: Retrospect
[Special Skill]: Golden Feast
[Status]: Arrogant
[Evolution Points]: 6,820
My Prophetic Technique, my Invincible Golden Body, all gone? Oh, this...
Chu Yi widened his eyes. This evolution had changed all his skills. What kind of power had he gained in exchange?
He took a deep breath, carefully observed, and felt the skills of his Clock Eye.
[Retrospect]: Designate an object to revert it to a specific state from its past. The extent of regression and the duration of the reverted state are proportional to one’s own cultivation realm.
Chu Yi stared at this skill, propping his chin with his hand, and looked towards Bika.
"Squeak?" Bika’s golden-brown vertical pupils blinked slightly. It made a charming sound, its fox tail swaying, looking simple and cute.
"Bika, let me show you a magic trick." Chu Yi pointed a finger at Lulina, who was playing dead. "Transform for me!"
SWISH!
The black hair covering his left eye floated upwards. A Clock Eye radiating golden light enveloped Lulina in an instant.
In the next moment, Lulina’s vines retracted and its petals shrank. It underwent a regression, turning back into the 1st-level succulent plant it had been when Chu Yi first unboxed it from the blind box.
Bika: (ΩДΩ)
Lulina: (x﹏x)
The young fox widened its eyes. Its good companion had suddenly returned to how it was when they first met! Is it so hungry it fainted? My new friend is starved like this! I must treat my companion to a good meal when we get back, Bika resolved.
Hmm, it’s not permanent; it will only last for a while, Chu Yi observed, nodding. The [Retrospect] skill could be developed further, not just for Pet Beasts but for other things as well.
Then, he looked at the special skill.
[Golden Feast]: Ring the ancient Doomsday Clock, hold a feast, and randomly summon the Forbidden Power of one of the twelve Ancient Gods.
So, Time Stop was replaced with a Summoning Technique. This special skill looks incredibly imposing, with such a powerful aura!
Chu Yi tentatively activated this special skill.
DONG!
The Doomsday Clock smashed forth. Compared to its initial appearance, it was now incredibly exquisite, adorned with fine decorations.
The scarlet, twelve-eyed Dragon of the End flapped its wings, and the ancient River of Time poured from the void, cascading onto the clock.
Instantly, the clock hand moved to the first tick, landing on an ancient deity. This deity, resembling a mass of viscous black mist, opened three scarlet vertical pupils and then transformed into a wisp of black smoke that merged into Chu Yi’s body.
The next moment, Chu Yi’s mind gained a description of this Power of the Ancient God.
Time Blade! It uses the Forbidden Power of Time to condense a flying dagger that traverses to the ancient past to erase a target’s existence. Once thrown, it guarantees death!
At this moment, Chu Yi’s mind had only one thought.
I am invincible now.
