Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

"50000 points is the highest score you can get for killing a Tier 5 ferocious beast, so 45000 points... is unimaginable!"

"Therefore, the one that the magician just killed was undoubtedly a fifth-tier, tenth-level beast, and its bloodline was extremely powerful."

Someone exclaimed in shock.

Even powerful figures like King Arthur and Dawn couldn't help but narrow their eyes slightly.

At least--

They believed that if they encountered a monster with a score of 45000, they might not have the strength to kill it.

They had even killed fifth-tier demonic beasts. But their highest score was only 31000 points, a far cry from the 45000 points they could achieve.

"This guy's growth rate is too fast!"

In a certain place, the master shook his head, a slight bitterness in his eyes.

There was a time when he considered himself the protagonist of the world, possessing opportunities and talents no less than anyone else's. In addition, he had been ranked first on both leaderboards before the fourth rank, which also instilled a sense of pride in him.

But this battle of a hundred nations put him under immense pressure.

Leaving aside the powerful figures who did not participate in the war and remained hidden in the world, there were quite a few on the battlefield who made him uncertain of victory.

the other side.

"This guy is getting more and more terrifying, I need to step up my game."

Chaoyang gently pushed up his glasses, a strong light flashing in his eyes.

High spirits.

"Our boss truly inspires despair in all the powerful!"

Divine Punishment gave a wry smile, then his eyes narrowed: "However—"

"I don't want to only see your back; companions should walk side by side."

An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from his body.

As a fellow Devourer, he naturally possesses limitless potential. In the future, he will surely reach the highest point and stand shoulder to shoulder with the leader.

Outside, in a certain mountain forest.

Lu Qi easily crushed the head of a fourth-tier mutated beast with his golden pincers and extracted a crystal core from it.

He said excitedly, "A ferocious beast with a power level of 45000 must have extremely strong talent. If we could absorb its abilities..."

"hey-hey!"

Lin Yu had told him long ago that he would bring back various powerful ferocious beasts for him to take over. Although the long time since they died would result in a low success rate, even one successful attempt would be a huge improvement.

Simultaneously.

Lu Qi was filled with anticipation for the divine-level breathing technique and the divine-level qi refining technique.

His talent has no bottleneck; as long as he continues to absorb the abilities of various powerful beasts, his talent will continue to improve and advance.

During this period of war among a hundred nations, apart from some idle and lazy evolved beings...

The vast majority of people are actually hunting crystal cores and comprehending their talents...

-

Time flies like water, and day and night alternate extremely quickly.

On the seventh day, as a giant tiger with black and white fur collapsed, the tenth fifth-order crystal core was obtained.

Lin Yu had finally reached the moment he had been waiting for.

"It's time for a breakthrough."

A powerful glint flashed in his eyes.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Soon, Lin Yu found a secluded spot and sat down cross-legged.

In his hand, ten fifth-order crystal cores, each exuding a terrifying aura, appeared. Each core was the size of a fist, with different colors and containing different amounts of energy.

For example, the nucleus of a termite is crystal clear and emits white light.

The dragon's crystal core was pale blue. It emanated icy power and flashes of lightning.

"A fifth-order crystal core is so large that it cannot be swallowed directly."

Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless.

Previously, even fourth-order crystal cores were only the size of an egg and could be swallowed directly, which allowed the lotus to absorb them more quickly.

Now, a fifth-tier weapon the size of a fist can no longer be swallowed.

However, he had experience in this area from his previous life, so he simply picked up a crystal core in each hand. He activated his innate power, and white flames ignited on his hands.

For an instant.

Under the burning of the white flames, the energy in the crystal core rapidly surged into the body.

"As expected of a fifth-order crystal core, the energy it contains is extremely terrifying and domineering."

Lin Yu felt two streams of pure energy surging like a mighty river, rushing into his meridians.

Within his meridians, flesh, and bones, streams of white flame energy surged forth, flowing continuously throughout his body, merging and fusing with the energy surging into the crystal core, before rushing into that mysterious place in his dantian.

There, an inexplicable aura enveloped the area, like a white mist, shielding everything.

Terrifying energy surged wildly into the white mist.

Although he couldn't see it, Lin Yu knew that the Gate of Evolution was inside the white mist.

"Ahhhhh—"

Sudden.

Lin Yu's lips twitched suddenly, his expression slightly distorted, and he roared in pain.

Sweat began to seep from his forehead.

The energy absorbed from the fifth-order crystal core was extremely violent, volatile, and domineering.

It flows through the meridians, causing them to burst. It merges into the flesh and blood, tearing the flesh and blood apart.

This violent energy, like a rushing torrent, all surged into the Gate of Evolution. Throughout this process, Lin Yu endured immense pain every moment.

After a while.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound emanated from within his body.

The internal organs, bones, meridians, flesh, and skin were all vibrating, as if yearning for something—

next moment.

White mist billowed, and a terrifying power surged out from it, flowing throughout the body.

Most importantly, this energy is incredibly pure.

Where it flows, meridians are repaired, flesh and blood are reborn, and bones emit a faint glow.

"Sure enough, after the energy inside the crystal core is baptized by the Gate of Evolution, it will be freed from impure energies that are not suitable for it, and transformed into the purest power to nourish the physical body, achieving a leap in the level of life."

As the energy of the crystal cores in their hands was absorbed, they all turned into dust.

Two...

Four...

Ten!

As the energy of the last fifth-order crystal core was absorbed, Lin Yu felt the white mist at the Gate of Evolution tremble violently, as if it were impacting something.

"Is it trying to break through the gate of evolution?"

Lin Yu thought of what Chen Jing'er had said.

Only when energy reaches a level sufficient to break through the gates of evolution can one step into another level.

but--

The vibrations continued for a long time.

The energy within his body had calmed down, flowing like a gentle stream throughout his entire being.

The billowing white mist gradually calmed down.

"What happened?"

"The breakthrough failed?"

Lin Yu was somewhat stunned.

He had already absorbed all the fifth-tier crystal cores, but he didn't feel the ultimate leap he had when he broke through to the fourth tier.

His expression changed slightly as he carefully examined his body.

"The meridians are thicker and more resilient, the bones are stronger, and the blood and flesh contain more energy."

"But this is still only Tier 4, Level 10!"

Lin Yu's expression turned ugly.
