Chapter 256: Chapter 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

BUZZ!

The Mosquito Avatar hovering beside him trembled violently!

At this point, its size was a far cry from the tiny thing it had been ten days ago.

After a series of upgrades.

Its body had swelled to nearly half a meter in size!

The purple patterns on its carapace were denser, its compound eyes were like cold rubies, and its six blade-like legs glinted with a metallic sheen. The Demon Qi swirling around its body was solid and violent, exuding a heart-pounding, oppressive aura!

After countless uses and proficiency increases, the power of its [Thunderstrike] skill was on a completely different level!

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

The Mosquito Avatar’s wings vibrated at a high frequency as wild Thunder Element energy gathered madly, instantly condensing in front of it into several bolts of terrifying, purplish-blue Thunder that were several times thicker than before!

The lightning was blinding.

The air ionized with a scorched smell, and the destructive energy fluctuations made the eagle on the ground feel a fatal threat, a look of terror appearing in its eyes for the first time!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several thick, purplish-blue bolts of Thunder, like spears of divine punishment, tore through the air with deafening cracks and slammed viciously into the severely wounded eagle!

[Thunderstrike Proficiency +1!]

[Thunderstrike Proficiency +1!]

[...]

After just seven or eight furious lightning strikes,

this Fourth Grade mountain eagle with its tenacious Life Force finally fell silent.

Its massive body, charred black and carbonized by the lightning, was devoid of life.

[Ding! Killed Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the Black-Feathered Mountain Eagle. Experience Points +10!]

[Ding! Killed Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the Black-Feathered Mountain Eagle. Experience Points +10!]

[Ding! Killed Fourth Grade Demon Beast, the Black-Feathered Mountain Eagle. Experience Points +10!]

[...]

After a series of notifications for Experience Points,

Lin Yi finally heard the long-awaited system notification that sounded as beautiful as heavenly music:

[Ding! The Mosquito Avatar’s Experience is full. Level has increased to LV41!]

BUZZ!!!

An unprecedentedly terrifying Demon Qi, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, surged out from the Mosquito Avatar’s half-meter-tall body!

Violent, ferocious, and carrying the vast aura of a primitive, ancient wilderness, it instantly enveloped the entire mountain forest!

The surrounding air seemed to freeze solid.

The heavy pressure made even Lin Yi’s breath catch in his throat!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

A dense series of pops, like roasting beans, erupted madly from within the Mosquito Avatar as its bones crackled!

Wrapped in Demon Qi, its body swelled rapidly, as if being inflated!

Its black and purple carapace grew thicker and more angular, glinting with a mixed luster of metal and lightning;

Its six blade-like legs became thicker and sharper, the tips glinting with a sinister cold light, as if they could easily pierce through refined iron;

Most astonishingly, the pair of cicada-thin wings on its back suddenly unfurled, reaching an incredible wingspan of over two meters!

Fine blue arcs of electricity flowed along the edges of its wings. Every slight flutter produced a low rumble of thunder and the sharp sound of air being sliced apart!

The surging Demon Qi was like a tangible hurricane, spreading out from the avatar in relentless waves, filled with a sense of savage, violent power.

A primitive, ferocious might originating from deep within its bloodline spread out, instantly silencing all insects, birds, and beasts within a hundred-meter radius, leaving them trembling in fear!

LV41!

A Fourth Grade Great Demon!

The Mosquito Avatar had, at this very moment, finally completed a qualitative leap, entering the ranks of Fourth Grade Demon Beasts!

It hovered in the air like an ancient beast of thunder, radiating a terrifying, heart-pounding aura!

...

"This... this change is just too ridiculous!"

Looking at the three-meter-tall Mosquito Avatar in front of him, Lin Yi was completely stunned.

Just before, at Level 40, the Mosquito Avatar had only been a little over half a meter tall.

Now, after just one level up to LV41, its body had instantly ballooned to three meters in size?!

’This transformation is just too shocking!’

’When human Martial Artists cultivate, the Fourth Realm is called the Golden Body Mirror. It’s a watershed moment in cultivation, signifying a qualitative transformation of the body from mortal flesh to something Extraordinary.’

A tempestuous wave crashed through Lin Yi’s mind as an irrepressible thought surfaced.

’Could it be that Demon Beasts also undergo this kind of radical, bone-deep evolution after reaching the Fourth Grade?!’

After the brief shock, a wave of ecstasy washed over him.

No matter how you looked at it, the Mosquito Avatar’s massive power spike was an absolutely fantastic thing!

It meant it now possessed greater offensive power and survivability. Deep in the perilous Taihang Mountains, the scales of survival had just tipped a little further in his favor.

However, that ecstasy only lasted for a moment before being washed away by the practical problems posed by the behemoth before him.

Lin Yi looked up at the three-meter-plus, hill-sized Mosquito Avatar, a bitter smile touching his lips. He wanted to cry but had no tears.

’It’s over... the whole plan is ruined!’

In his carefully laid plans, the Mosquito Avatar’s greatest value was its use as a cultivation accelerator!

He prized its stealth and ambush capabilities above all else!

But now?

’A body over three meters tall!’

’That’s way too big of a target!’

’Forget ambushes, it’ll probably be spotted from hundreds of meters away!’

’With its huge body, it would be difficult to move without attracting attention.’

’At its current size, a human Martial Artist would look like a toy in front of it!’

’How is it supposed to perform Blood Sucking now?!’

’Its proboscis is as thick as a wrist, like a vicious spear!’

’If that thing pierces a human body...’

’...it won’t be Blood Sucking, it’ll be skewering them clean through!’

’It can’t perform Blood Sucking at all anymore!’

’How am I supposed to play this now? Does this mean I can only use it for head-on confrontations from now on?’

Lin Yi’s face was a mask of misery.

He felt like his core strategy had been completely upended by this sudden change in size.

The Mosquito Avatar’s advantages were its secrecy and efficiency. Head-on clashes were not what Lin Yi wanted, and it went against his original intentions for raising it.
