Chapter 1187 Evolutionary Bottleneck, Waiting for the Rabbit to Run into the Tree Stump

In that instant, the captain of the World Alliance patrol squad felt his heart plummet from the clouds to the bottom.

Previously, after the other party killed the patrol squad of the Hunter faction, they also helped him break free of his restraints. He naturally assumed that the other party was also a member of the World Alliance faction, just like him.

Although I have never met him or heard of him.

But the World Alliance is a vast organization with countless members, and he was just a small patrol captain, so it's understandable that he didn't know them.

But at that moment, the other party dropped its disguise—the endless, dark fog that almost filled his entire field of vision was revealed to him without any concealment.

It's like a rolling dark cloud pressing down on your heart, moving you and making you tremble!

I thought a savior had arrived.

But now it looks like a monster has arrived!
The number of worlds he devoured was far greater and more terrifying than the entire patrol squad!
This kind of guy could never be a "comrade" of the World Alliance faction—because none of the worlds in the World Alliance faction would devour their own kind; this is an absolute prohibition that even the ancient beings cannot transgress or violate.

Or rather, they can certainly violate it.

But the very foundation of the entire World Alliance is to fight against all the hunters.

If they knowingly commit this offense, the foundation of the World Alliance will be severely damaged, and the World Alliance will collapse without the Hunters even needing to intervene.

But this guy in front of me, who is clearly a hunter, is ruthlessly killing his own kind. This situation is enough to conclude that he does not belong to the Hunter's Alliance either.

Could it be... that kind of crazy loner?
The captain thought to himself.

But in any case, he is probably doomed today—since the other party is a hunter, even if he does not belong to the hunter's camp, there is no reason for them to let him go.

"Huh?" Just as he was sinking into despair, Yu Chen looked at him blankly: "Aren't you leaving yet? Oh right, take your companion's corpse with you too—I won't devour the normal world."

"Huh?" The captain had the same reaction, completely bewildered: "You're willing... to let me go?"

"How come you can't see the situation?" Yu Chen rolled his eyes: "--Can't you see that I was saving you just now? Or do you think I'm the kind of madman who kills and devours everything? Don't worry, although we're not on the same side, we have some connections, so I won't hurt you. You can go."

The captain still didn't quite understand.

How could the World Alliance possibly have any connection with a hunter?

Even if he doesn't belong to the Hunters' League.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. The boundless power of the world swept up the corpses of his companions like a storm and fled far away.

Finally, just as his figure was about to completely disappear from Yu Chen's sight, a word of thanks was heard.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Yu Chen smiled noncommittally, ignoring the departing captain, and instead looked at the endless ruins of the world around him.

He ordered the captain to take away the corpses of the World Alliance patrolmen, leaving only the corpses of the Hunters' patrolmen, which were shredded into countless pieces by the blade light formed by the Dao of Origin Space and scattered in the surrounding void.

After the captain left, Yu Chen did not hesitate at all. His body instantly emitted endless silver light, completely sealing off the surrounding world. He then enveloped the wreckage and flew away into the distance.

Once he was far from the battlefield, he took the remains and hid in the deepest part of the primordial space, where he began to devour and absorb them.

Thus, the process is almost identical to the previous round of devouring and absorption.

However, this time the number of times these corpses have evolved is significantly higher than the last time, so it will take more time than before.

More than 150 years later, Yu Chen finally absorbed all the primordial power from the remnants of the world, and this time, it evolved 37 times.

—It's getting slower and slower.

But this is normal, because for the world, forty or fifty evolutions are two bottlenecks that can create a world of difference.

To put it simply, in a world with fewer than forty evolutions, one is merely a grunt in the Gold Rush battlefield. Even if one evolves to thirty-eight or thirty-nine times, one is at most a squad leader in the battlefield.

However, once the number of evolutions exceeds forty, then it is enough to be called a "general".

The difference between a world that has evolved more than forty times and one that has evolved less than forty times is like heaven and earth—a world with more than forty evolutions can completely crush a world with less than forty evolutions.

Even before such a confrontation, the boundary sea tactic was useless—let alone in large groups, even in worlds with hundreds or thousands of generals and less than forty evolutions, facing generals with more than forty evolutions, it would be an absolute one-sided crushing victory, without any surprises.

This is enough to show that forty evolutions is a huge hurdle, and the mysteries involved cannot be simply summarized by one evolution.

However, Yu Chen wasn't entirely clear on the specific differences and mysteries. He planned to wait until he was truly close to reaching that level before inquiring about the Holy City World.

Getting back to the main point, the closer we get to the bottleneck of forty evolutions, the longer and more extensive the evolutionary time and resources required for evolution become.

So after devouring the remains of those hunters, Yu Chen only evolved once. But what made him somewhat gratified was that he could feel that he had reached the edge of evolving to the thirty-seventh time and would soon face the thirty-eighth evolution.

He had also devoured the primordial power of those world remnants.

So next, we should continue... the hunt.

In the past 150 years, the Hunters' patrol squads have been wiped out once again, and the World Alliance has learned from the situation of the captain who escaped back that the Hunters' patrol squads have improved their overall quality.

Therefore, both sides increased their bets almost simultaneously.

More than a hundred years ago, the patrol teams sent by both sides had evolved more than thirty times, including the members themselves, while the captains and leaders had evolved more than thirty-seven times!
Numerous frictions and wars erupted between the two sides, resulting in a truly chaotic and intense conflict.

Even so, the hunters still found no trace of the previous two squads' annihilation.

Logically, members of the World Alliance wouldn't devour their own kind, so they usually wouldn't dispose of the carcasses after killing hunters, at most taking their equipment and spirit weapons. However, in the two squads that were wiped out the first two times, there wasn't a single piece of remains or trace left behind; it was as if they had vanished into thin air.

This discovery made the high-ranking officers in charge of patrols in the hunter faction somewhat suspicious.

Could it be that besides them and the World Alliance, other forces have also intervened in this desperate battlefield?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the first thing that came to mind was that outrageous "third type".

So, secretly, almost every time a patrol team set off, he would place Limit Breakers who had evolved thirty-nine times on the edge of the battlefield to observe the movements of the patrol team members.

Let's see what they actually encountered.

Such extreme individuals are considered elites even in the military, so even if the patrol squad loses a battle against enemies from the World Alliance, he will not intervene.

His order and its significance were to draw out the mastermind behind the annihilation of the two patrol squads.

Let's see what kind of trouble the World Alliance is up to, or if that terrifying "third type" has appeared on this desperate battlefield.

Thus, for over a hundred years, this extreme individual remained hidden on the edge of the battlefield, observing everything.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and nothing has happened.

It's as if the mastermind behind the scenes, whose existence is unknown, suddenly vanished mysteriously.

This Limit Breaker has even applied to his superiors that if the mastermind doesn't appear in another fifty years, he will be transferred back to the army—such a task is leisurely, but he is currently in the prime of his life and needs to devour and accumulate military merits to strive for that almost unattainable fortieth evolution. He doesn't have time to play house with the patrolmen here.

His application was approved by his superiors.

In other words, these are the last fifty years.

On this day, another squad from the Hunter's Alliance began their patrol. As usual, they wandered along the edge of the vast, endless battlefield, searching for the debris and trash sprayed across the battlefield.

What they didn't notice was that, right at the edge of the battlefield, the shortest distance from them, hidden in the endless turbulent flow of spacetime, there was a figure completely black, as if clad in heavy armor, its entire body completely covered except for the shadows of a pair of bright red eyes.

They were staring intently at them.

The patrol team wandered around, but they were also on high alert—the news of their two previous companions' deaths had caused a stir throughout the patrol team, forcing them to be extremely vigilant and always move in groups, never alone.

But what they didn't expect was that this gave Yu Chen a perfect opportunity to capture them all at once.

He transformed into a spatial fragment, which drifted silently into the hunter team's ranks.

Then, almost instantly, endless silvery-white spatial power erupted from his body, instantly sealing and disguising this area of ​​the void.

From the outside, nothing seemed amiss; it was simply that the patrolmen had suddenly stopped.

But internally, a terrifying and earth-shattering change has already taken place!
All the patrolmen felt a deadly threat at the same time!

Although they couldn't see the changes in space, their intuition, honed over thousands of years on the battlefield, was already incredibly sharp!

Almost instantly, all the patrolmen were on high alert!

At that moment, countless enormous and bizarre worlds erupted with a terrifying aura, condensing into boundless, terrifying dark clouds in the void!
"Who?"

The leader, looking back, resembled a giant centipede, but each of its tentacles had a ferocious head on it. The head at the very front even had a human-like upper body growing out of it, and its entire body was covered with countless blood-red eyes. In that instant, all those eyes burst forth with a bright red light, almost completely covering everything around them!

Meanwhile, the other team members also displayed their unique abilities, unleashing a series of terrifying attacks on them as their awakened powers erupted!
But in that very instant, amidst the utter chaos, everything suddenly seemed to be paused, completely still and frozen.

Then, before the patrolmen could even see the enemy's true form, they felt endless pain emanating from their bodies!
Looking down, they saw that their world had been instantly shattered into countless fragments, with not a single intact part left!

At that moment, immense fear and despair instantly filled their minds. Then, the terrifying blade of light formed from the power of the primordial space rampaged through their bodies, shattering their will and essence!

In an instant, another patrol squad was completely wiped out, leaving only endless corpses floating in mid-air.

But this time, Yu Chen did not immediately take it away and hide it in the Origin Space.

Because he could sense that as he approached the bottleneck of forty evolutions, the amount of world origin power he needed to absorb was increasing exponentially.

He could foresee that although he was about to undergo his thirty-eighth evolution, the power of the world's origin contained in these remains was not enough to propel him to the thirty-eighth evolution!
So he simply hid in the space, waiting for the next patrol team from the hunter faction to arrive.

—And all of the above, which seemed to take a long time, actually only took a few moments. In just a dozen breaths, Yu Chen completed the entire process of infiltration, disguise, and hunting.

Then they waited quietly in place for the next hunter patrol to arrive.

From the outside, the patrol team remained completely still for more than ten breaths.

This is clearly completely abnormal.

Not only the movements, but even the normal rhythm of that enormous world body seemed to have completely stopped.

At that moment, the Limit Breaker hidden in the shadows instantly noticed something amiss!
In the next instant, a dark light suddenly approached Yu Chen from the edge of the desperate battlefield!
Like a sharp sword released from a bow, it arrived at this place where the "anomaly" was discovered in just a moment!

Upon closer inspection, he realized... it was all a mirage.

This patrol team was incredibly well-disguised, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be nothing more than an illusion...

With a mere sweep of its own power, the illusion vanished completely.

What came into view was a scene of carnage, like a living hell! (End of Chapter)
