Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 487 The Ups and Downs of the Body

After Xingluo rushed over, the Shadow Demon instantly felt a huge increase in pressure. Although Xingluo only had the magic power of a high-level magician, other than that, his magic power was close to that of a great magician. This made the Shadow Demon more and more frightened. Where did this monster come from? Not only did he break into the Shadow Realm alone, but he also fought back and forth with him.

Xingluo opened his eyes, and his gaze met that of the Shadow Lord. The two powerful mental powers collided in the air, causing a silent explosion. Xingluo knew that this was a battle between the spirit and darkness, and he had to concentrate all his strength. He launched his most powerful mental attack, and his mental power was like countless sharp blades, piercing into the depths of the Shadow Lord's consciousness. This was a high-level skill in using mental power. The Shadow Lord also launched a counterattack, and its dark energy tried to devour Xingluo's mind.

The battle lasted for several hours, and the strength of both sides was constantly being consumed. Camilla looked over and found that the two were as if they were still, which was particularly conspicuous on this battlefield. Xingluo was no longer able to be distracted at this moment. He still underestimated the abyss. It could pollute his mental power, so he had to divide a part of his mental power to resist this erosion, especially when he used his mental power with all his strength. This pollution was even more serious. Otherwise, with his mental power as an intermediate great magician, he would not have fought with the shadow demon for so long. On the other hand, the shadow demon was a little unscrupulous. He could use his mental power with all his strength. Anyway, he was a demon. After being polluted, he would at most become more crazy. He didn't care at all, so he fought with Xingluo for so long. In fact, if Xingluo didn't care about the pollution of his mental power, the winner would have been decided at this moment, but he had to return to the main material plane after all. Even with the help of the killing star, he could only resist the pollution when he didn't use his mental power with all his strength.

With his understanding of light magic and his persistence in returning to the main material plane, Xingluo successfully broke through the defense of the Shadow Lord and completely defeated his mind. The Shadow Lord let out a shrill wail, and the shadow energy around his body began to collapse, turning into countless shadow fragments, which dissipated with the wind, leaving only a demon corpse. Camilla's tentacles stood up when she saw it. He was too eager for this demon's body. If he could eat this demon, he felt that he would also evolve from an abyss creature to an abyss demon, and then he would be able to regard himself as a demon. Not only will his strength be improved, but his status will also rise. After all, this is the abyss, and demons are the masters here. No matter how strong the abyss creatures are, they will be looked down upon by other demons. He has killed four demons, including before. Although he did not kill the three demons today independently, he has already devoured two corpses.

Camilla looked at Xingluo with longing eyes. Xingluo seemed to sense something and nodded at him. With a wave of his hand, something was missing from the demon's body, but the speed was so fast that even Camilla, who was so close to him, did not notice it. Xingluo got the material he wanted most. As for the demon's body, he generously gave it to Camilla.

After getting Xingluo's consent, Camilla excitedly began to devour. A black mist instantly enveloped the demon's body. Xingluo saw Camilla's tentacles slowly wriggling through the black mist. His body now seemed like a huge, amorphous mass covered with mucus. Xingluo could smell a disgusting stench from a distance.

Camilla's skin had turned into a bottomless black, almost blending into the surrounding abyss. Only when his body rose and fell could his outline be barely discerned. The tentacles stretched out from his body like slender and flexible limbs, like the vines of some plant.

As Camilla devours, the ends of these tentacles extend with sharp suction cups that firmly grasp any unfortunate prey. Camilla's tentacles have no discernible head or eyes, but it seems to be able to sense its surroundings and find food even in the deepest, darkest corners of the Abyss. Camilla's tentacles tremble more and more frantically as she looks at the corpse of the shadow demon.

Shadow creatures are creatures made of pure dark energy. They usually wander in the abyss, looking for weak creatures as prey. Only when they evolve into shadow demons will their bodies appear, and they will also leave traces after death. However, this demon obviously encountered an enemy stronger than him, and died because of the unknown factor of Starfall.

Camilla controlled the tentacles to slowly curl up, wrapping around the shadow demon's body like a snake. The suction cups tightly grasped the demon's flesh and began to slowly pull him towards them. The demon's body twisted and deformed under the pull of the tentacles, and his shadow energy began to be absorbed by the tentacle monster. As Camilla absorbed it, the shadow demon's body gradually became blurred and finally disappeared completely.

Camilla's body seemed to have become larger due to the absorption of shadow energy, and a faint, ghostly light flickered on his skin. Another demon's body disappeared from the abyss, and Camilla's power was enhanced. Then he turned into a spherical existence with a layer of black lines on the surface. A heartbeat sound similar to drum beats came from it, which made people feel a little upset.

Xingluo realized that Camilla was evolving. As for the final result, there was no record in the books. Would an abyss creature still be an abyss creature after evolving? What kind of existence would Camilla become after evolving? Xingluo looked in Camilla's direction thoughtfully.

Xingluo began to recall the records in the book. Abyssal creatures may begin to develop a feature called "dark texture" during their evolution. These textures are complex patterns composed of black lines, and eventually these lines will cover the skin or shell of the creature. These natural lines are a symbol of strength and a channel for the flow of biological energy.

As the power and wisdom of the abyss creatures grow, they begin to change their form, eventually forming a spherical body. This sphere is a manifestation of an energy field, a form they take in order to better control and concentrate their power. After it eventually breaks apart, the new form will replace the original one. This process is irreversible, and it is unknown what the evolved creatures are. Everything is moving in an unknown direction.

Xingluo's current identity is a dark scholar, so the way he started to study and record was very much like this identity. As for the abyss creatures fleeing around him, he had no time to pay attention to them. In the future, a new shadow demon will be born here, but by then he will have recovered his strength and will not have to be as embarrassed as this time. Anyway, the coordinates have been recorded, and this place has become one of the places for him to obtain dark materials.
