Chapter 807: Chapter 800: Transformation

The Deadly Crimson Structure was the first high-level transformation structure Zhou Yuanjue had integrated after arriving in the True Realm.

However, when he initially integrated this structure, his strength and access to the database were limited. Furthermore, to prepare for the upcoming qualification battle, he needed a life structure capable of bursting forth with immense combat power, bypassing the limits of racial potential. Thus, he chose the Deadly Crimson Structure, which was based on self-inflicted bodily harm.

Yet, as his strength developed, he was now on the path of using structural abilities to forge a new human body. From this perspective, the Deadly Crimson ability, which focused on explosive bursts, seemed ill-suited for his physique.

Perhaps he could consider replacing this structure, allowing his strength framework beneath the First layer Transformation Boundary to become more perfect.

At this moment, within his body, aside from his lungs and respiratory system, another system remained in a largely redundant state.

That was the digestive system.

At his level, absorbing Energy through the breathing of his pores, mouth, and nose had long reached the realm of a "Qi Immortal." Consuming food had become an inferior method of Energy absorption. Only when he needed to ingest certain Curiosities did the digestive system serve some purpose, though its utility was minimal and could easily be replaced.

This system still held tremendous room for transformation.

Especially after his battle with Nirut, he had become highly interested in that Energy storage and explosive capability, which was even more formidable than his Energy Crystal ability. For the digestive system, this seemed to be a good direction for transformation.

After all, while his current respiratory system had an extremely powerful Energy absorption efficiency, it was difficult to store this Energy relying solely on his body and Twelve True Meridians. This resulted in him having to exhale the converted Energy, making the utilization rate quite low.

His body still lacked an organ capable of storing massive amounts of Energy, much like the Black Abyss Secret Hole.

And the digestive system appeared to be the optimal Energy storage organ.

Back when he was an ordinary human, aside from breaking down food, the digestive system’s most crucial function was storage. Holding enough food could provide an organism with life-sustaining endurance for extended periods.

Acting on his thoughts, Zhou Yuanjue immediately began utilizing the True Talisman database to search for relevant structural Data, aiming to transform his digestive system at the fastest possible speed.

Three days later.

Among the countless dense structural Data, he finally found a structure that seemed quite fitting.

This structure was named the Celestial Essence Lotus Hole.

The general characteristics of this ability were somewhat similar to Nirut’s Black Abyss Secret Hole.

It involved modifying the Sacred Lotus itself, opening nine lotus holes at its center. These holes served only one purpose: to compress and store Energy.

The massive compressed Energy would form solidified structures within the holes, looking exactly like Lotus Seeds.

These Lotus Seeds functioned similarly to Zhou Yuanjue’s Energy Crystals. On one hand, they acted as Energy supplements to replenish the body. On the other hand, these Lotus Seeds were the ultimate weapons. By shooting a Lotus Seed out from its hole, the massive Energy inside—freed from the hole’s containment—would instantly detonate, resulting in terrifying destructive power.

What Zhou Yuanjue valued was this structure’s Energy compression and storage capability. He didn’t plan to condense nine lotus holes; rather, he intended to fine-tune the structure, merging the nine holes into one, completely turning his digestive system into a site with formidable Energy compression and storage abilities.

A month and a half later.

Inside the safe house.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

Zhou Yuanjue’s pores flared wide, his mouth and nose parted as he exerted all his strength to absorb the surrounding Energy.

His body was like a bottomless pit. Prior to this, much like ordinary human breathing, his inhalation would reach a tolerance limit once it hit a certain point. This was dictated by human physiological structure, as the lungs could only hold so much air.

By the same logic, before completing the transformation of his digestive system, Zhou Yuanjue’s breathing also had an upper limit, unlike the terrifying display occurring now.

Countless streams of Energy absorbed through his pores and respiratory tract were continuously transported to his abdomen, entering his digestive system.

Massive amounts of Energy were compressed to the extreme by his digestive system, forming solid Energy Blocks in his abdomen that gradually filled his entire digestive tract.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanjue was like a ravenous glutton, constantly devouring.

BURP~

About an hour later, Zhou Yuanjue stopped his Energy absorption. Opening his mouth, he involuntarily let out a satisfied burp.

Right now, he felt much like an ordinary person who had eaten their fill. With his abdomen stuffed with food, a sense of satisfaction naturally arose in his mind.

"The Energy storage capacity is roughly equivalent to the highest number of Energy Crystals I have in reserve. In other words, my Energy value has at least doubled compared to before, and this is an amount that can be used on the Dream Realm battlefield."

Zhou Yuanjue summarized his current feelings. He could rapidly convert the compressed Energy Blocks in his abdomen, supplying them to every part of his body in the blink of an eye.

He made a rough estimate. Even if his current Energy reserves couldn’t completely rival Nirut’s, he had reached at least two-thirds of the latter’s capacity.

This was a terrifying amount.

"However, this Energy must be released through the body and True Veins. Releasing too much at once will damage my body. In terms of the actual boost to Attack Power and explosiveness, it probably isn’t as robust as Deadly Crimson."

Zhou Yuanjue shook his head slightly. This was an unavoidable drawback. After all, Deadly Crimson was a structure born for explosiveness. By losing this structure, his peak explosive power would inevitably decrease. Yet, the improvements in endurance and survivability more than compensated for the loss in burst damage. Moreover, its compatibility with his body gave this ability far greater room for development than Deadly Crimson.

"Now, it’s time to start the next step," Zhou Yuanjue muttered to himself.

With the structural replacement complete, the next step was to fully break through the First layer Transformation Boundary and achieve a leap in his fundamental abilities.

"I wonder what the result will be after my abilities evolve."

Zhou Yuanjue slowly closed his eyes, twisting everything into a single strand and igniting it with a deep, profound resonance.

Candlelight burned, and the flames gradually covered his entire body.

Bodily impurities, impurities within the fundamental structures of his life, Spirit impurities, and all other flaws were calcined and smelted in the firelight.

Only truly dazzling true Gold could survive within the flames.

His body, life structure, and fundamental abilities were undergoing a slow metamorphosis.
