Chapter 213: Chapter 37: Metamorphosed Power_3

It seems it’s about halfway done.

The opponent was engulfed in burning golden flames, with a terrifyingly high temperature. Having been burned continuously for so long, even though Udi’s dragon scale magic resistance and physical resistance were extremely strong, it was beginning to be hard to withstand.

If the life force of this Abyssal Fire Python were a bit more tenacious, Udi might have to consider using long-range attrition tactics to wear it down, rather than brawling with it like a headstrong dragon. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He casually cast a few Returning to Truth Tier Two Water Healing Techniques on himself for minor healing, alleviating the burning sensation, and only then did Udi have time for another task — dealing with those dozen or so High-Level Fire Pythons.

The process of handling those High-Level Fire Pythons was quite easy. With the coordination of spells like Instant Teleportation Skill, Any Gate, and Invisibility Technique, Udi swiftly dealt with the High-Level Fire Pythons.

The Spatial Bag couldn’t hold the corpses of these Fire Pythons. Udi directly crafted a massive red rod, several meters thick and over a hundred meters long, using Fire Element Ore, then skewered the High-Level Fire Pythons along with that top-level Fire Python onto it.

The cleared Spatial Bag was also used to gather up the pile of high-quality Fire Element Crystals hoarded by the top-level Fire Python as loot.

Afterward, Udi found a cave free of magma deep beneath the volcano and dove in to continue his research and study of the Otherworld Teleportation Technique.

After a dozen days, seeing the skill level of the Otherworld Teleportation Technique increase slightly once again, Udi smiled with satisfaction and then took the Fire Python corpses skewered on the Fire Element Ore rod.

The Banquet cooldown time had just ended.

It started.

Endless hunger enveloped Udi, driving him to devour all the matter and energy before him.

Time slowly passed, and before long, a day had gone by. During this process, the aura of the Black Dragon grew more terrifying, deeper, as if undergoing a violent transformation.

At some point, the Black Dragon awoke from its slumber.

A terrifying aura flashed across the body of this pitch-black giant beast.

Udi felt something within and opened his panel.

[Udi: Biological Level Level 15 Initial Stage; Mage Level Level 12 Initial Stage] (body length 51.4m)

[Life Force: 158.2]

[Current Banquet Level: 231 layers] (cooldown time: thirty days)

[Spell-like Abilities: Transformation Technique, Dark Magic...]

[Spell Rune: Sixth Ring·Water Dragon Skill (Mastery 7%), Sixth Ring·Otherworld Teleportation Skill (Beginner 53%), Sixth Ring·Instant Transmission Skill (Beginner 5%), Sixth Ring·Eye of the Storm (Beginner 3%)...]

"The biological level broke through from Fourteenth-level High Rank to Level 15, and the mage level also broke through from Level 11 High Rank to Level 12."

A trace of delight flashed in Udi’s eyes.

Although he knew that devouring an Abyssal Fire Python of Level 18 plus a dozen High-Level Fire Pythons would greatly enhance the Banquet’s effects, he hadn’t expected it to directly break through the threshold from Level 14 to Level 15.

The profession talks about advancing from High-level Professionals to Master-level Professionals, focusing more on leaps in energy levels.

The biological level talks about advancing from High-Level Creatures to Top-Level Creatures, focusing more on leaps in physical capabilities.

Now that the biological level had broken through to top-level, Udi could clearly sense a qualitative enhancement in his dragon body — recovery abilities, various resistances, power, reflexes, and spell-like, talent abilities like Demon Eye, Dragon Breath, Long Wei, all saw significant improvements.

Advancing from high to top-level brought enhancements comparable to the stacking of dozens of Banquet layers, perhaps even stronger.

Top-level (Master-level) is a major threshold below the Legendary Tier, and even lower-level demons or humans with lifespans of just a few decades can, upon achieving Master-level, easily live for two to three hundred years, distinctly setting them apart from ordinary mortal life. At the same time, their ability to reproduce offspring becomes more challenging.

"If it’s the current me, I could probably kill that Level 18-19 Abyssal Fire Python easily without using any magic, just relying on my body."

Feeling the overwhelming, almost terrifying power within him, Udi felt almost invincible.

Of course, Udi knew well that this was merely an illusion caused by excessive power increase.

"I wonder if my current full strength could match that of a Pseudo-Legendary?" Udi couldn’t help but have this thought flash through his mind.

Before the breakthrough, Udi had no confidence in clashing with a Legendary, as there was a huge double transformation between high and master, and the transformation at the Legendary Tier was far more radical than crossing from high to master.

Comparing himself to the descriptions of a newly promoted ordinary Legendary power in the Dragon’s Legacy, Udi felt he might also achieve such feats.

The weakest Legendary, even a Warrior Legendary, could still, under a full power burst of terrifying energy, destroy a thousand-meter mountain peak in a short time.

And the current Udi felt he could barely accomplish the same.

But that refers to an ordinary Material Plane thousand-meter mountain peak. For instance, Tal Plane as a medium plane, like the thousand-meter volcano that Udi was currently at, originating from the Abyss Plane... Udi wasn’t confident he could destroy it in a short time.

This is plane number 9896 in the Abyss, which is well-regarded in the Star Realm. Although it can’t be said to be among the top 10,000 Abyss Planes, as an ancient plane existing for billions of years, this layer of the Abyss Plane carries at least a large-scale Material Plane energy level, or perhaps even more than a super-large-scale Material Plane energy level.

Udi calmed his mind slightly after the breakthrough, then let his black membranes flutter and flew directly from two thousand meters beneath the volcano.

Currently, he was in his Dragon-man form.

Keeping a low profile in mind, Udi landed on the ground and continued moving forward.

He had two main objectives in the Abyss: to enhance his own strength and to acquire the coordinates of a normal Material Plane.

Preferably a small Material Plane.

Because a small Material Plane’s highest energy level ceiling is just ordinary Legendary.

And like the Tal Material Plane, its highest energy level ceiling is high-tier Legendary.

The purpose of Udi seeking a Material Plane is clear.

He needed a base camp, as well as a safer retreat path.

This layer of the Abyss Plane, number 9896, has a renowned name in the Star Realm — Lava Wasteland.

As its name suggests, this layer of the Abyss Plane is primarily Earth and Fire Element, with commonly seen environments like volcanoes, magma rivers, magma seas, and wastelands.

Udi traveled for three days, covering thousands of kilometers.

At a moment when the Blood Moon was high, he finally encountered an intelligent creature of the Abyss.

"Finally found the organization."

Looking at the humanoid demons fighting ahead, Udi couldn’t help but sigh.
