The Evil Eye Tyrant stepped onto the Beast Soul Altar without hesitation. After looking to Yang Ling for confirmation, Augustus chanted the mantra to activate the altar. In an instant, everyone became tense, especially people like the Dark Dragon King and the Giant Ape King. This was the first Magical Beast king to walk onto the altar voluntarily. If the Evil Eye Tyrant succeeded, that meant that there would be another shortcut to advancing to another level for the Magical Beasts in the future.

The Beast Soul Altar could rapidly increase a Magical Beast’s Battle Power but was also extremely dangerous. As the first to volunteer to go onto the altar, the Evil Eye Tyrant undoubtedly needed a great deal of courage. He had paved the way for the other Magical Beasts, and no matter if he succeeded or failed, the Evil Eye Tyrant had won everyone’s respect.

Whoosh…

A great fog spread in the Beast Soul Altar and spun rapidly. Screams of agony could be heard occasionally. No one knew what was happening on the inside, and no one knew the exact process of the combination of Magical Beasts, and only knew that the Magical Beasts devoured one another. Yang Ling was no exception. No matter how powerful his divine Knowledge was, he was also unable to detect the movements within the Beast Soul Altar.

Ten drops of Crystal Marrow, 2000 Evil Eyes… Could the Evil Eye Tyrant succeed, and what type of Magical Beast would it become?

Everyone was nervous and excited at the same time, hoping that the Evil Eye Tyrant could successfully level up. But, they were also worried that he would become a disgusting monster. It was no matter to have an extra arm or two extra legs, but if he were to turn out neither male nor female like the Demoness, that would be terrible!

Power was important, no matter the Dark Dragon King or the Corpse Wizard King, all of them pursued greater power, hoping to advance to the Divine level quickly. But no one was willing to become a scary monster for the sake of power.

Howl…

After half an hour, the Beast Soul Altar rapidly stopped spinning, and the great fog dissipated. Under the people’s nervous attention, the Evil Eye Tyrant quickly floated out like a gust of wind, with a whooshing sound.

Compared to how he was originally, his size had more than doubled. His tentacles had doubled from eight to sixteen. Each tentacle was five meters long and was thicker than a person’s thigh. Its head was like a container, bigger than a washbasin. Its one blood-red eye took up more than one-third of its face, emitting a halo of faint red glow. The whole creature looked like a giant suspended high from the sky, with a murderous aura, its whole body containing an explosive power.

Bloody, brutal, violent!

The Evil Eye Tyrant, which had sunk into the low depths for a period of time, had once again regained the murderous aura he had in the first place and the brutality and violence for himself.

The combination on the Beast Soul Altar had achieved a perfect success!

“My Lord, I did it. I’ve finally successfully advanced in level!” After lifting his head up and letting out a roar, the Evil Eye Tyrant leaped in front of Yang Ling, quick like lightning, greatly moved and agitated. In order to advance in level, in order to gain great power, he was long prepared to give up his life. He did not expect that not only did he succeed, he had also leveled up by an unknown number of times, getting an extremely great boost in speed and power.

A level nine Magical Beast, or a Level Surpassing Magical Beast with Domain Power?

Looking at the excited Evil Eye Tyrant, and feeling the overflowing energy ripples within his body, Yang Ling was also ecstatic. At that moment in time, he was also not sure the Evil Eye Tyrant, a great general in his time, had leveled up to what extent exactly. After thinking in silence for a while, he commanded the Evil Eye Tyrant to attack a giant stone a long distance away on the spot.

Rumble…

The Evil Eye Tyrant attacked on command. Only a ray of red light was seen whizzing by in the air, and a giant stone a few tons heavy was exploded into smithereens. Clean and quick, fast like lightning with a shooting range of over a thousand paces!

A Level Surpassing Magical Beast, definitely a Level Surpassing Magical Beast of Domain power!

The astonishing scene caused everyone to exclaim in admiration. In the past, the power of the Evil Eye’s Light Bomb might not be too bad, but its speed of attack was too slow and was unable to give the enemy a deadly blow all at once. The speed of movement was too slow and was unable to keep up with the Magical Beast army’s rhythm of quick attack and retreat, causing the Evil Eyes to be used less and less in the future. But the Evil Eye Tyrant was different. No matter the attack speed or sped of movement, they were all not the same as before, allowing everyone to see the true power of Evil Eyes.

An Evil Eye with the power of a Level Surpassing Magical Beast could definitely bolster the Great Magical Beast Army’s long-range attack power. If there were a group of them, then it would definitely be more than powerful!

“Augustus, put in a group of Six-eyed Metal Back Lions and see what kind of Magical Beast it would combine to become!” Yang Ling ordered loudly.

Similar to the Evil Eyes, the Metal Back Lion was also good at using rays to attack. As they had six eyes, the coordinated attack was even more powerful, and the area it covered was even wider. If the Evil Eyes and Metal Back Lions could be combined together, and both Magical Beasts’ natural talents were combined, maybe it would become a more powerful mutant Magical Beast!

Of course, Yang Ling could not just let the Evil Eye Tyrant risk himself for the experiment, just like that. He could use a small portion of the Metal Back Lions and low-level Evil Eyes to test it out.

“Okay!” Augustus answered the command loudly, putting twenty Metal Back Lions onto the altar at one go. Seeing that the altar could instantly upgrade the Evil Eye Tyrant’s Battle Power, Augustus was more agitated than anyone!

Whoosh…

The Beast Soul Altar spun again. Under everyone’s tense watchfulness, a strong Metal Back Lion climbed out after half an hour. Its body was bigger by a whole round. But what was more important was that it at first only had six eyes, but now, they had increased to twelve, doubling in number. It could shoot twelve rays instantly. No matter distance or power, all had increased by quite a fair bit!

“Put 200 Evil Eyes and this mutant Metal Back Lion onto the altar to see what Magical Beast can be combined?” After mutating, the Metal Back Lion’s attack power greatly increased. But Yang Ling hoped to see the mutant Magical Beast that would come from merging the Evil Eyes and Metal Back Lion.

Augustus’s hands and legs were numb. With everyone’s help, 200 Evil Eyes and the mutant Metal Back Lion were rapidly put onto the altar. Immediately, Augustus chanted the mantra to activate the altar. But disappointingly, after half an hour, there was only a monster of a mass of flesh and blood. Not to mention a powerful mutant Magical Beast, it was not even worth an Evil Eye of the lowest level.

The first experiment in combining was a total failure!

“What happened, how come it turned into a pile of mush?” The Corpse Wizard King shook his head in puzzlement, completely unable to understand what was going on.

“That’s right. It’s so weird!” Hydra frowned hard, and continued after pausing, “It’s either the mutant Metal Back Lion will devour the Evil Eyes, or the Evil Eyes will devour the Metal Back Lion. How did it turn into a pile of useless mush?”

…

The people were puzzled and unable to explain it. Even Augustus, the Beast Soul Altar Priest, was unable to understand what was going on at that moment. With Yang Ling’s support, he started to activate it again. Unfortunately, one time, two times… He failed five times in succession. Each time, he either got a pile of mush, or a non-descript monster that had no Battle Power whatsoever. There were even times where there was nothing.

“Could it be that it had not drunk enough Water of the Spring of Life?” Augustus gritted his teeth, putting 500 Evil Eyes and five Metal Back Lions onto the altar at one go, feeding the most powerful Evil Eye twenty drops of the Water of the Spring of Life, then chanting the mantra to activate the altar.

Whoosh…

The altar spun rapidly, and within half an hour, under the tense attention from everyone, an Evil Eye floated out. Compared to the Evil Eye Tyrant, it was much smaller in size and its speed was slower by many times. But, around its one eye, six eyes characteristic to the Metal Back Lion appeared, surrounding the one eye like stars worshipping the moon, with the eye in the center. The one eye was powerful and could shoot a hole through the trunk of a towering tree. The six smaller eyes, on the other hand, had the advantage of fast shooting and could release successive ray attacks without stopping. Additionally, its body was full of scales characteristic of the Metal Back Lion, greatly increasing his defense power.

After finally having succeeded, Augustus was ecstatic, and busied himself again, to test his theory. Once, twice… When he first started, he still kept failing again and again. But later on, as his rate of success became higher and higher, he slowly started to discover a pattern. A few hours later, he had used up an entire bottle of the Water of the Spring of Life, but there were over a dozen more powerful mutant Evil Eyes by his side.

“Lord Augustus, let me in. Put a bunch of Metal Back Lions with the power of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts in!” Looking at the hard scales on the mutant Evil Eyes, and looking at the small eyes around their eye in the center, the Evil Eye Tyrant, in search of more power, stepped forward again.

“This…” Augustus was a bit hesitant and looked at Yang Ling, who was at the side. Without the latter’s command, he did not dare to use the Magical Beasts Kings of the Magical Beast army to experiment on.

“Swallow 20 drops of Crystal Marrow!” Looking at the Evil Eye Tyrant’s passionate gaze, Yang Ling shook his head and took out the Crystal Marrow again.

The Evil Eye Tyrant was determined, and there was no point in forcibly stopping him. After all, the Evil Eye Tyrant already had the power of a Level Surpassing Magical Beast. Yang Ling also wanted to know what type of ferocious beast would emerge after putting him, and a bunch of Metal Back Lions with similar power of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, into the altar.

After putting ten Metal Back Lions with the power of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts onto the altar, Augustus let the Evil Eye Tyrant swallow twenty drops of the Water of the Spring of Life, and put in 5000 wild Evil Eyes inside, just in case. According to the legend that had been passed down among the Beast Soul Altar Priests, within the altar, the Magical Beasts would devour beasts that were not their own kind, before trying to devour each other. He hoped that the 5000 low-level Evil Eyes would be able to help the Evil Eye Tyrant to pass the challenges of the initial stage.

Whoosh…

The Beast Soul Altar started to spin again, black fog appearing. With every round it spun, screams of agony could be heard. The voices were hoarse from shouting, as If coming straight from somewhere deep within one’s mind. It caused those who heard it to shiver, but not from the cold, unable to imagine what horrifying things were happening on the altar! Even the Giant Ape King, who was not afraid of anything, and had killed countless people, shivered involuntarily upon hearing it.

After half an hour, under tense attention from the people, the Beast Soul Altar finally stopped spinning. Even so, the Evil Eye Tyrant could not be seen even after some time!

Was the merging a failure?

Everyone felt their limbs grow cold. They did not expect that the Evil Eye Tyrant, having just gotten great power, would die on the altar in the blink of an eye. But just as Yang Ling was shaking his head bitterly, and was getting ready to turn around and leave, a thunderous roar was heard from within the altar. The Evil Eye Tyrant, full of bloodstains on its body, had finally dashed out before the last cloud of black fog dissipated!

Compared to before, his body had expanded to twice the size. Its whole body was densely covered with black scales, black light shimmering. On its enormous head, was a brutal looking giant eye that was bloodthirsty and red all the way through. A large circle of small eyes had grown around it, densely packed, looking like a giant beehive. With a zapping sound, light rays filled the sky, exploding a huge pile of rocks more than a thousand paces away into dust. His attack power had increased an unknown number of times!

A Close-in Weapon System?

Looking at the astonishing scene, Yang Ling was overjoyed. He did not expect that not only did the Evil Eye Tyrant Live, but his mortar thrower had also been upgraded to a powerful Close-in Weapon System. One of him could take the place of a whole army of Metal Back Lions neatly arranged in formation!
