Chapter 226: The Evolution of the Beast

The crimson Vermilion Bird wings fluttered gently, stirring a subtle wave of flames and a faint whooshing sound in the surrounding space. Sensing the immense power contained within these wings, Lin Langtian smiled in satisfaction before carefully retracting them. The Vermilion Bird wings shimmered and shrank, transforming into faint streams of light that returned seamlessly to his body.

As Lin Langtian checked to ensure there were no lingering effects, he let out a satisfied sigh. "Aunt Ling really outdid herself," he thought. She had managed to enhance this flight technique through even a simple skill like "Demon Ape Transformation." He could feel the wings' finesse—a perfect tool for escape. Now, should he encounter any overwhelming opponents, he might not win, but he'd have a real chance to flee.

With the wings fully integrated, Lin Langtian then turned his attention inward to the small inner world of his mystical mirror. Hovering in the air within was a massive cocoon emitting black-gold radiance, surrounded by intense, frosty energy that created a vision of frozen mountains. This cocoon housed none other than Jinwu, his loyal companion.

Over the past two months, while Lin Langtian focused on intense training, Jinwu, under Aunt Ling's guidance, had embarked on its own journey of evolution with the aid of the Ice Spirit Cold Elixir and the Nine Nether Frostfinch's blood essence. Lin Langtian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and worry as he summoned the black-gold cocoon into the void space. The cocoon pulsed with an aura of formidable and noble energy, layered with a primal ferocity that suggested a mighty beast was forming within.

"Jinwu, you've got this," Lin Langtian murmured, his fists clenched as he watched anxiously.

Just then, the cocoon, which had been dormant for so long, trembled violently, sending a fierce energy wave through the void, stirring up powerful currents. Lin Langtian's heart leapt as he noticed a black-gold hue gradually spreading across the cocoon's surface.

Sensing this, Lin Langtian quickly summoned a multitude of Nirvana Pills, releasing a torrent of Nirvana energy into the air. The space around them seemed to heat up instantly as the cocoon began to absorb the potent energy, drawing the Nirvana energy in waves toward itself.

The dense Nirvana energy flowed into the cocoon in powerful streams, vanishing within its depths without a sound. As the energy absorption continued, the cocoon's black-gold color deepened, becoming richer and more intense. When a faint crack finally echoed in the space, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed with anticipation—the cocoon was ready to hatch.

A fine network of cracks appeared across its surface, emitting threads of cold, black-gold light and an overwhelming aura of menace. Eventually, with one final tremor, the entire cocoon shattered like a volcanic eruption.

In that instant, a dazzling black-gold light burst forth, illuminating the void. Lin Langtian squinted, watching intently as a colossal shadow began to form within the glow. The light faded, revealing a massive pair of black-gold wings that unfurled, sending shockwaves through the air. Lin Langtian's eyes widened as he took in the beast's majestic form, with wings spanning nearly a hundred feet, each feather glowing with a subtle black-gold sheen.

With a piercing shriek, the beast raised its head, its sharp gaze exuding a power that shook the very space around it. Lin Langtian could feel the vibrations through his entire being as the beast's cry reverberated, filling the air with a forceful energy. When the black-gold light finally dimmed, the full form of the evolved beast stood before him in awe-inspiring detail.

"A Nine Calamity Black Gold Raven…" Lin Langtian whispered, his eyes filled with joy and pride. This formidable, noble creature was Jinwu, reborn as an unmatched predator among beasts.
