In the Age of Gods and Demons, I evolved into the final boss.

Chapter 74 3rd Evolution

After killing the demonic pythons, the dog-headed demon Vala habitually led a group of monsters to search for the pythons' lair.

It was an entrance located in the middle of a hillside, more than three meters high. The soil on the hillside was very smooth because of the pythons coming and going, and it was filled with a faint green poisonous gas.

However, as creatures of the abyss, these monsters have a certain resistance to poison, so a little bit of poison mist is not a big problem.

After walking along the passage for more than ten minutes, a huge cave appeared, with a pool of water in the middle and green vines growing all around.

The thickest vine was half a meter in diameter and was covered with a large number of fist-sized fruits that resembled green jade.

The dog-headed demon Vala's eyes lit up; these fruits were very similar to the extraordinary resources the king had described.

"Hey! You stay behind me, and the rest of you don't move."

Vara growled, signaling a monster carrying a leather bag to follow it, while the other dog-headed monsters remained still to avoid damaging the fruit.

Vala carefully picked all the fruit.

In the dark and desolate forest, an army of more than two thousand demons advanced, with hundreds of dog-headed demons carrying the corpses of more than a dozen demonic pythons like ants carrying food.

In the darkness, some monsters were drawn by the blood emanating from the corpse of the demonic python.

But upon seeing the vast army of demons, including several demons exuding an astonishing killing intent, most of the demons stopped in their tracks, not daring to approach.

It took the army about two hours to cross the forest and return to the underground crevice.

Boom! !

The corpses of more than a dozen demonic pythons crashed to the ground, causing the ground to tremble. The two-horned demonic python, which was more than thirty meters long, was particularly enormous.

The dog-headed shaman approached the black flame dragon and flattered, "Your Majesty, we were fortunate to have your power this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to defeat that calamity-level monster."

"With your power, Your Majesty, I fought a long and bloody battle and finally killed this calamity-level monster when I was about to be exhausted."

"The battle was extremely dangerous. Serus and the others were severely injured and powerless, and Old Pu was covered in blood..."

Bang! Before the dog-headed shaman could finish speaking, he was sent flying by a fingernail of the black flame dragon.

Hey old man, if you're going to brag, at least make it believable. Serus and the others look terrifyingly murderous, like they're seriously injured.

Not to mention, it can vaguely sense the battlefield situation through the power of its arrival.

At this moment, Vara stepped forward carrying a leather bag and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I have discovered a large number of extraordinary plants deep within the cave of those demonic pythons."

Extraordinary plants.

The Black Flame Dragon's eyes lit up immediately, and it let out a deep dragon roar: "Open it and take a look."

Vala unbuckled his belt and carefully took out a fruit the size of a fist. The flames on the Black Flame Dragon's right claw went out, and the huge claw tip gently pinched the fruit.

The jade-like peel emitted energy fluctuations far exceeding those of a first-grade spiritual medicine, but its greenish color suggested it was highly poisonous.

No problem, we can take it back for testing to determine its grade and medicinal properties, and then see if we can simply plunder its medicinal power. If not, we can try to sell it.

Moreover, judging from the number of over thirty in the bag, that's not bad. The Black Flame Dragon's lips curled up into a ferocious smile.

"Give them all to me."

"Yes."

The Black Flame Dragon collected all the green fruits before turning its attention to the corpses of the demonic pythons. Its long, sharp, bloodthirsty tail thorns pierced through the flesh and began to devour them.

The tail spikes shimmered with a dark red light, as the rich energy of flesh and blood was transformed and absorbed.

Under the excited and tense gazes of all the monsters, the Black Flame Dragon continued to grow larger, and the demonic power emanating from its body became increasingly astonishing.

Thirty-eight, thirty-nine meters...

As the largest two-horned python's carcass shrank, until only a layer of skin remained clinging to its bones!

Boom! The black flame dragon, which was forty meters long, suddenly burst into flames, emanating a rich life energy fluctuation, and a prompt appeared before its eyes.

"Your current Life Essence has reached 1000 points. Do you wish to initiate evolution?"

"It's time to draw one out of three again." The Black Flame Dragon did not choose to evolve immediately, but instead looked at the demonic minions surrounding it.

"Roar! Mora, I am about to enter a period of slumber and transformation. During this time, you will be in charge of the affairs of the territory."

"Stone Mountain, Vala, Serus, Sokos, during my slumber, no monster is permitted to approach the throne. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot."

The roar of the Black Flame Dragon echoed throughout the underground space. Only after giving the order did it turn around and return to its hundred-meter-high throne, lying horizontally.

"evolution!"

With the Black Flame Dragon confirmed, a new prompt appeared before them: "Evolution direction confirmed."

[The Steel Dragon, with its supreme strength and indestructible body]

A tyrannical dragon, a bloodthirsty shadow, born of slaughter.

The Eternal Dark Dragon devours the heavens and the earth, annihilating all things.

Compared to the previous two evolutions, the name chosen for the third evolution looks much more imposing.

The first one clearly focuses on defense, the second on killing, and the third on darkness and devouring; each direction aligns with it.

"I want them all." The Black Flame Dragon took a deep breath and focused its gaze on the first evolution direction.

It chose defense during its first evolution, and with the addition of its plundering talents, it has almost swept away its opponents ever since.

However, the Blackflame Dragon discovered that its defenses were still not strong enough, such as the bloodthirsty demon bats it encountered when it first set foot on the ground.

These bloodthirsty demon bats are individually weak; any dog-headed monster could kill them alone. However, their fangs, evolved to their ultimate form, can actually leave a mark on their scales.

Although the defense wasn't broken, what if we encounter a similar monster next time, and its level reaches Demon or Calamity?

"Choose the Steel Dragon."

With the Black Flame Demon Dragon confirmed, the life essence accumulated within its body suddenly erupted, transforming into a vast and boundless evolutionary energy that washed over its entire body.

The Black Flame Dragon instantly felt excruciating pain all over its body, its cells collapsing and its genes recombining.

Roar!

A violent and domineering dragon roar resounded deep within the Black Flame Demon Dragon's consciousness, and in the distance, a faint phantom of a giant dragon with wings that blotted out the sky and thick scales that shone with a metallic luster flashed by.

As it entered a state of evolutionary dormancy, the Black Flame Dragon emitted a rich life force, and the fluctuations of its bloodline advancement gradually resonated with the stone egg behind it.

Whoosh! The red light shimmering between the scales on the surface of the stone egg became more and more obvious, and a powerful heartbeat could be faintly heard from inside.

At the same time, the moment the direction of evolution was determined, Chen Zheng withdrew from all consciousness.

Operating Room

Chen Zheng stopped carving and turned to look out the window. It was past five in the afternoon, and the golden sunlight shone obliquely, making everything full of life.

Compared to the oppressive carnage of the abyss, the colorful "human world" is much better.

"get out of class dismissed, get out of class dismissed."

"Today I inscribed eight runes and got a feel for it."

Me too.

"Chen Zheng's rune notes are really good."

"Let's go, Chen Zheng, let's go eat."

"Here it comes." Chen Zheng clicked to submit today's academic results, his rune progress increased by 21, and then he turned off the device to catch up.

At this moment, Chen Zheng's personal terminal vibrated slightly, and his personal account points increased by 60, which came from the second stage of academic rewards after mastering two hundred basic runes.

Chen Zheng glanced at it but didn't pay any attention.

He had accumulated so many points, resources, and money during this period that he no longer considered a mere 60 points a big deal.

After having dinner with Jiang Mo in the cafeteria, Chen Zheng went to the open laboratory building in Area C of the Materials Science Department and spent 5 points to rent an hour of use in an intermediate laboratory.

Furthermore, only drug analysis equipment is allowed in the usage permissions.

The intermediate laboratory is much larger than the previously rented basic laboratory, covering several hundred square meters.

Following the operating instructions, Chen Zheng arrived at the rented drug analysis instrument and simultaneously turned off the monitoring equipment in that direction via his personal terminal.

To protect individual privacy, the school has granted this access.

This includes deleting the records of Chen Zheng's subsequent use of the device. No one will know what he analyzed, as long as the device is not damaged at all when he leaves.

After putting on protective gloves and a disposable face mask, Chen Zheng took out a green fruit from his soul space.

Following the operating procedures, place the fruit into the equipment, close the lid, and begin analysis...

Beep beep! Fifteen minutes later, the device beeped to indicate that the analysis was complete, and the specific data appeared on the screen.

Rank: Second Rank

Attribute: Poison

"This elixir contains a deadly poison. Damaging its surface will release a lethal liquid that will kill any ordinary person within a few meters who touches it."

"This elixir can assist other medicines in neutralizing toxicity and be used to refine a second-grade physique-enhancing potion with the effects of body tempering and meridian expansion."

It's actually a second-grade spiritual herb! Chen Zheng's eyes lit up.
