I am the final demon god

「一炉丹药成本30积分，成丹3到7颗，取个中间值5颗，70颗需要炼製14炉。」

"Including the auxiliary medicines and the failure rate, a normal person would need to consume 20 Grade 1 Fire Orchids to break through from Level 4 to Level 5 Martial Artist."

"Based on the surface damage and loss of essential medicinal properties, I estimate that a normal Fire Orchid can plunder 6 points of medicinal power, increasing the tempering progress by 30%."

"Therefore, it takes me about 3.5 plants to break through from level 4 to level 5, which saves nearly six times the resources, not even counting the time saved."

At his desk, Chen Zheng slowly stopped writing a series of cost calculations, somewhat surprised by the effect of the Wanling Plunder ability.

The same elixir can produce several times or even ten times the effect in his hands.

And... Chen Zheng looked at the earth vein stone on the table. The medicinal power of the fire orchid had accelerated his tendon refining progress. He wondered what kind of improvement the active elements of the extraordinary ore would bring to him.

As Chen Zheng pondered this, he reached out and grasped the fist-sized, grayish-brown crystal.

hum!

With his talent activated, that trembling sensation in his brain returned, and as the cool feeling spread, the world in Chen Zheng's eyes became clear again.

The energy structure of the leyline stone is different from that of the fire orchid. The essence of the elixir is like blood vessels spreading throughout the branches, while the active elements in the leyline stone are sedimented and solidified patterns, almost motionless.

plunder!

The active elements, shrouded in an invisible force, are extracted drop by drop from the ore, a process several times slower than that of elixirs.

The active elements emitting a yellow glow seeped into Chen Zheng's skin and muscles through his hand, and finally disappeared silently deep within his body.

"Absorbs active earth-attribute mineral elements, Constitution +2, Defense +1"

Looking at the prompt that appeared before him, Chen Zheng pondered: Is the essence of spiritual herbs used to accelerate cultivation, while the spiritual essence of minerals is used to enhance physical strength?

However, despite the improvement in his physical strength, Chen Zheng did not feel any significant changes in himself.

It's probably because the amount of elemental energy plundered was too small. If one were to plunder hundreds or thousands of ley stones in one go, the change in physical strength should be quite noticeable.

Having determined the effects of the elixir and the mineral, Chen Zheng then re-examined the earth vein stone in his hand.

It didn't look much different, but he could clearly feel that it was lighter and the metallic luster had dimmed, losing its extraordinary properties.

This ore is fine for refining metals, but it's not suitable for crafting extraordinary weapons or rune bases.

The fire orchid on the table was in a similar state; it had withered considerably after its essence was plundered. The medicinal properties were still there, but the potency was probably only about 10%.

"It seems the idea of ​​reusing materials won't work," Chen Zheng said with some regret.

His original plan was to sell the spiritual herbs and ores at a low price to others if the changes after plundering the spiritual essence were not significant, or to try to learn how to refine medicine and recycle resources himself.

Of course, one shouldn't be too greedy; the current results are already quite strong.

The most pressing issue now is how to make money, no, how to accumulate points; he needs more points.

Just as Chen Zheng was pondering how to quickly accumulate enough points after school started tomorrow, a voice from the chuunibyou-ish Chen Zheng echoed in his mind: "What are you calculating?"

"Settle the accounts."

"What bill?"

"Consider it me stealing the effects of the drug through my talent."

"Oh, how's the result?"

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Very strong. The same resources in our hands are several times, even ten times, more effective than others, and we save a lot of time."

"So, the 18 points you have are equivalent to more than 100 points someone else has?"

"almost."

"Ha... As expected of us. Oh right, I almost forgot the important matter. I've come to tell you that I'm preparing to evolve."

"So fast." Chen Zheng was a little surprised.

Chen Zheng, a chuunibyou, said smugly, "I was lucky enough to find a group of monsters. After killing them all, I collected the remaining 2 points of life essence."

"Walk"

On the cave ceiling, which is over ten meters high, several red crystals emitted a dark red light, making the cave appear somewhat dim and oppressive.

A three-and-a-half-meter-long abyssal earth dragon lay on a rock, surrounded by the shriveled corpses of several monsters, each over two meters long.

[Evolution conditions have been met. Initiate evolution?]

"I am about to undergo a super evolution." The somewhat ferocious-looking Abyss Earth Dragon took a deep breath and focused its mind on the "Yes" after the Life Essence data.

However, the expected burst of genetic power did not occur; instead, three evolutionary options emerged.

[Black-armored Earth Dragon, clad in heavy armor, dark earth attribute]

【The Cracked Claw Earth Dragon, with its sharp claws and bloodthirsty ferocity】

[Dark Corrosion Earth Dragon, Dark Corruption, Abyss Hunter]

"There's even a gacha pool where I can choose one of three!" The chuunibyou Chen Zheng suddenly became interested. "Judging from the names, the three evolution paths should correspond to tanks, DPS, and mages."

Chen Zheng suggested, "Let's choose the Black Armored Earth Dragon as the first one."

"With claws, fangs, and tail spikes, we have no shortage of offensive means, and we can also plunder new innate abilities after evolving, so defense is very important."

"...You're right. This Abyss Evolution game doesn't allow resurrection, so we should choose a defense system with a higher margin for error." Chen Zheng, who was a bit of a chuunibyou, agreed with this plan.

boom!

With the evolutionary direction determined, the entire cave "darkened," and black lines appeared on the surface of the abyssal earth dragon lying on the rocks.

The life essence accumulated within the abyssal earth dragon erupted like a flood.

Under this energy, all the cells in the Abyss Dragon's body were collapsing and reorganizing, and an ancient power was being awakened deep within its genes.

Roar! A deep, resonant roar, like a dragon's cry that had been simmering for millions of years, exploded in Chen Zheng's consciousness.

Click, click!

The abyssal earth dragon, which had fallen into a deep slumber, began to change. Its body swelled, scales grew layer upon layer, and its spine lengthened and thickened segment by segment...

Time passed in a daze. Chen Zheng didn't know how much time had gone by when he woke up and a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Evolution Complete]

Real name: Unawakened [Chen Zheng]

Race: Black-Armored Earth Dragon [An abyssal monster that has evolved once, possessing the power of a Black Iron-level abyssal dragon bloodline]

Rank: Common Monster, High Rank

Rank: First Rank

[Basic Data]

Body length: 3.2 meters

Strength: Increased by 100% year-on-year

Scale strength: 200% higher year-on-year

Speed: 100% increase year-on-year

Devouring efficiency: 11% → 15% + Tail Spike 20% [Average of 10% for the same level]

Abyssal Power: 30/60

Innate Talent: Infinite Evolution

Active Talents: Talent Plunder [Unique Talent, Current Plunder Attempts: 2], Bloodthirsty Tail Sting [Mutation-type Talent, possesses piercing and bleeding characteristics]

Passive Talent: Black Armor [Passive Talent, Scale Strength +100%, Additional Damage Reduction Against Non-Light Attribute Attacks]

Life Essence: 0 [The next evolution will be unlocked when 100 points are accumulated]

The evolved Black Armored Earth Dragon is still only 3.2 meters long and its rank remains unchanged, but its overall attributes, such as strength, have doubled, and its defense, combined with its passive talent, has quadrupled.

Bloodlust Tail Sting has also been improved, and the Plunder talent has gained two Plunder attempts.

Overall, its strength completely overwhelms its pre-evolutionary form.

Besides these changes, the appearance of the Black Armored Earth Dragon has also changed significantly. Its black scales have become thicker and heavier, exuding a sense of metallic solidity.

A dark yellow stripe runs from its spine to the tip of its tail. It has thick limbs, sharp claws, and high shoulder blades, exuding a sense of power.

My neck has gotten a bit longer than before, and I look more flexible.

In addition, the prominent brow bone, the black keratin growing on the edge of the head, and the sharp fangs showing in the slightly open mouth give people a strong sense of ferocity and power.

Squeak!

The black-armored earth dragon stretched its neck, its scales rubbing together with a cracking sound. "I feel so strong right now, even though my rank hasn't increased."

As it spoke, the Black Armored Earth Dragon swung its tail, the tip of which sliced ​​through the air with a deeper whistling sound than before, and struck a piece of gravel with a blur.

Bang! The basin-sized piece of gravel was instantly shattered by this blow, sending fragments flying everywhere.

puff! !

The Black Armored Earth Dragon flicked out its claws and casually sliced ​​the ground, cutting through the hard rock like tofu, leaving a smooth surface.

These are just side effects; the biggest improvement in this evolution is in defense.

The black-armored earth dragon raised its head and looked at the dark cave entrance in the distance. "I want to find a demon to test my defense against."

"Sure." Chen Zheng also wanted to see how strong the evolved Black Armored Earth Dragon was.

If the first evolution has already brought such a significant change, what about the next one?

Furthermore, the potential of the Abyss Primal Monsters is indeed exaggerated. Only half a day has passed since the Abyss Earth Dragon hatched, and its strength has increased by almost dozens of times.
