Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 227 Celebi's First Evolution

The moment the gold of life touched his chest, the entire lake suddenly boiled and surged! Vast life energy, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed into his meridians.

Gula groaned, his forehead instantly covered in fine beads of sweat, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the Gold of Life bulged.

He could clearly feel that every inch of his flesh was greedily absorbing energy, his bones were emitting a faint hum, and his meridians were expanding, causing a tearing pain.

During this process, Celebi's original essence, which had not yet fully merged, began to continue merging with Cooler, and under the influence of the power of evolution, it evolved towards a more perfect and powerful form.

"Calm your mind!" Gu Yue's voice pierced through the energy storm and reached his mind. Silver spatial power coiled around him like threads, helping to stabilize the rampaging energy. "Guide it like a flood!"

Gula gritted his teeth, his consciousness sinking into the sea of ​​his mind. The once calm silver ocean was now churning with towering waves, and at the eye of the storm, his martial soul, Celebi, was undergoing an astonishing transformation.

Its originally translucent green body gradually solidified, and as its crystal-clear wings unfurled, it scattered starlight-like phosphorescent powder, while the tentacles on its head extended out mysterious golden patterns.

What's most stunning are those eyes—in those once pure green pupils, there are now galaxies of stars slowly rotating, shining like stars.

The future, in his eyes!
"boom--!"

His spiritual sea suddenly trembled violently, and a dazzling green light pierced the sky! The life-gold on his chest was vaporizing, and emerald green mist seeped into his limbs and bones through his pores. Every bone emitted a clear sound like jade colliding, and the soul power flowing in his meridians was tinged with emerald luster.

"Prepare to withstand the impact!" Di Tian's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and black dragon scales instantly covered his entire body.

He raised his hand and drew five dark light curtains, confining the surging life energy within a radius of one hundred meters. Xiong Jun directly revealed his true form as a dark gold dinosaur, his thick carapace blocking the scattered energy turbulence.

Brigitte revealed her true form as an emerald swan, her thirty-meter-long wings showering down healing light: "My lord, his life force has been steadily increasing, and it is approaching the life force I had two hundred thousand years ago!"

But Gula is only in human form! And she's only at the fourth level of cultivation. Her eyes trembled, and her emotions fluctuated violently.

Gu Yue's eyes flickered, but she showed no surprise like Bi Ji. She stood quietly by the lake, gathering the turbulent energy flow and stabilizing the spatial barrier.

Gura lost himself in the moment, feeling as if some innate constraint had been broken. Celebi's figure grew taller once more, and illusory runes containing the laws of time and space appeared on his long limbs.

When it unfolds its butterfly wings, the surrounding space ripples like water, and a few falling leaves are eerily frozen in mid-air the moment they come into contact with the ripples.

The emerald green Lake of Life suddenly boiled, and tens of thousands of golden light particles gushed out from the bottom of the lake, condensing into a huge energy vortex three feet above the surface.

Around the rock where Gula sat cross-legged, glistening moss grew on the hard bluestone surface, and these emerald green life forms spread outward at a speed of one centimeter per second.

A sense of authority over the forest surged within him like a tidal wave. Gula suddenly "heard" the breath of the entire forest—the rings of the ancient trees recorded thousands of years, the veins of the vines flowed with the rhythm of life, and even the smallest moss under his feet was conveying intimate emotions to him.

The ancient trees by the lake suddenly bowed down, their drooping branches intertwining above Gula's head to form an emerald crown.

Centered on him, tender green shoots sprouted from the land within a hundred feet radius, and in the blink of an eye, they grew into lush shrubs. Several blue silver grasses even defied the seasons and bloomed with pale blue flowers.

"This is a new feature... Forest Guardian?"

Groudon had already learned about Celebi's evolved abilities from the Pokédex. By taking advantage of the special state of creating a new "Spirit Body" during evolution, Groudon was able to comprehend the new abilities of his Spirit.

As he slightly moved his mind, the grass beneath his feet suddenly shimmered with an emerald halo, and countless points of light rose up like fireflies. "Guardian of the Forest, upon entering the field, releases the Grassy Terrain move, grants immunity to 20% of type-advantage damage, and when using a status move, it is accompanied by the Leech Seed move."

The parasitic seed condensed in his palm, then turned to dust with a single thought. The Flower of Time pendant hanging around his neck shone with unprecedented brilliance, the patterns on its petals becoming even more intricate and mysterious, before slowly merging into Gura's forehead and disappearing.

"The exclusive equipment, Flower of Time, has also been upgraded. When releasing a transformation-type move, it restores 10% of health, and its superpower moves are enhanced by 30%."

What surprised him most was Celebi's dramatic increase in base stats. With a score of 780, it had reached the pinnacle of legendary status, and its stat distribution perfectly compensated for Groudon's weaknesses.

When he tried to mobilize his soul power, he discovered that the energy circulation within his body was endless, and it resonated with the surrounding forest in a certain way—just like Groudon when it stood on the ground, his soul power recovered at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, his control over plants has increased significantly, and his Soul Skill "Boundless Forest Domain" has undergone a major transformation, which can be seen as a larger version of the Grassland Field move, greatly increasing the efficiency of restoring vitality and soul power.

"Success!" Celebi broke through the shackles of a mythical beast and became a true legendary beast.

Gula opened his eyes, a glint of emerald light flashing within them. He raised his hand and waved it, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly, and time itself seemed to slow down for a moment!
He gently stroked the spacetime attribute vines wrapped around his wrist, feeling the new power surging within him.

Groudon's Earth Orb slowly rotates within its heart, achieving a perfect balance with the life energy within its blood and muscles, and echoing the Flower of Time within its Spirit Sea.

A silver light flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, and the spatial barrier dissipated with her thought.

She took a few steps closer, a rare look of surprise on her face: "Control of spacetime attributes...you've already touched upon the laws of spacetime?"

"Your martial spirit has evolved to this level?"

Gu Yue became increasingly curious about the secrets that Gula was hiding.

Gula stood up and stretched his powerful body.

He reached out and caught a butterfly of light that had been drawn by life energy. Tiny flower buds immediately sprouted from the fingertip where the butterfly landed.

"Having grasped only a smattering of the basics is nothing compared to your mastery of seven elements, but Celebi now truly possesses the potential to reach the peak of a first-level god in terms of the laws of nature!"

In the games from Groudon's previous life, both Groudon and Celebi could evolve twice!

Whoever it is, just one last evolution will allow it to become a divine beast comparable to the God King of the Douluo World.

"Congratulations."

Gu Yue gave him a deep look. With her intelligence, she naturally thought of the scene where Gula's two martial souls combined.

She suddenly smiled: "It seems our cooperation can take another step forward."

The moment the two smiled at each other, the entire Lake of Life shimmered with a dreamlike, seven-colored halo, as if witnessing the signing of an important agreement.
