Chapter 199 — The Bugs Finally Evolve

The Beast-Taming Craftsman Page 4 of 6

It had a phoenix-feather-like blue body and wings, its form incomparably cold, alluring, and aloof, born amid crystalline wind and snow. In an instant it became the focus of the whole world, and even the Butterfly God acknowledged the Ice Phoenix Moth's potential.

The limelight of the other evolution forms was completely suppressed by it.

At this moment, in theory, there were no other insect cocoons left.

But in fact, it was not true that not a single cocoon remained.

On the silver earth, Buggy glanced at the Ice Phoenix Moth, then continued absorbing the last bit of emergence energy. Because it was fully awake, its absorption efficiency was much faster than the other cocoons, and it had been constantly seeking places rich in energy; the energy it had absorbed by now was likely many times that of other pet beasts.

Since the Butterfly God was unreliable, Buggy could only work hard on its own.

Only after the Ice Phoenix Moth completed its evolution did Buggy finally feel its body reach saturation. This time, it had thoroughly excavated its evolutionary potential.

"Evolve," Shi Jin said silently in his heart at the sight.

His attention, along with that of Eleven and Senbao, was among the few not drawn to the Ice Phoenix Moth.

They had been watching Buggy all along, waiting for it to complete its final accumulation!

"Ji!" Buggy sent out a telepathic cry, slowly closing its eyes, and at this moment fully unleashed all its power!

At this very moment, everyone was still immersed in the Ice Phoenix Moth's beauty and power.

But the next instant, a sudden change occurred.

BOOM!!!!

In an instant, a vast momentum erupted from the last green cotton insect cocoon on the ground.

Forcing everyone and all the butterflies to shift their attention to it.

An incomparable aura shot straight into the clouds, accompanied by a vast intimidation that stunned everyone.

How was there still a green cotton insect that had not evolved, and what was with this might...

"It's that cocoon with eyes, the one that was running around earlier." At this moment, everyone was stunned, staring blankly at this cocoon whose behavior had just been extremely unscientific.

And now, its behavior was even more unscientific.

Right before everyone's eyes, the cocoon, accompanied by a blue light, slowly rose into the air, flying higher.

It flew up.

"Holy shit."

Many people were startled, then looked at the earth and the sky. So the Ice Phoenix Moth was not the last to evolve?

That cocoon with open eyes that could run had not evolved yet?

Was it about to evolve now too?

"What on earth is this..." Hua Che took a deep breath and looked at the Butterfly God.

Yet at this moment, the Butterfly God's mood was not calm either.

It felt that this little fellow, flying into the sky, was doing so precisely to absorb a bit more of its power...

Absurd.

Moreover, among the more than a hundred thousand cocoons present, every evolution form was within its expectations, but this one, frankly speaking, what it would evolve into, it could not quite understand.

"What's going on." The Ice Phoenix Moth's beastmaster frowned.

"Senior Xia, that cocoon is a bit strange..." a student of Modu University said to the Modu University talented girl, Xia Yan.

Xia Yan remained silent, sensing the information the Ice Phoenix Moth relayed back to her.

By now, though Buggy was still in the midst of its evolution, the Ice Phoenix Moth, its own evolution already complete, had actually been cowed by the tremendous aura Buggy unleashed, and felt a stirring of the urge to submit.

The sensations the Ice Phoenix Moth described left her utterly unable to comprehend.

In truth, for all that ten thousand butterflies danced in chaos before their eyes, not one of them exceeded the Transcendent tier, and at that moment Buggy, as a Commander-tier with a perfect-grade Intimidation, would have utterly crushed every pet beast present even without evolving.

BOOM!

Under the gaze of countless eyes, this strange insect cocoon, as everyone saw it, began to evolve.

Its entire body blazed with the light of evolution, soaring into the clouds alongside its aura; in that instant every person's eyes flew wide, their faces stamped with disbelief, because...

"The s-s-sky, the sky, the sky's splitting open!!"

Staring at the silver vault of heaven that had fractured, split apart by a spatial rift, by shattered and crumbling space, everyone's jaws hung open. What, what on earth was happening, why, why had the evolution of this insect cocoon burst apart the silvery canopy the Butterfly God had created???

The Divine Feather Butterfly: !!!

It was not only the crowd that was shocked; the Butterfly God, too, suddenly sensed something amiss.

Impossible. With a Commander-tier cocoon like this, even if its rank climbed to Monarch-tier, it could absolutely never trigger a change this vast.

Just what evolution material had it absorbed?

In that moment, upon the evolving cocoon, the Divine Feather Butterfly suddenly sensed a trace of dragon majesty.

Purer, stronger, more concentrated than the phoenix majesty upon the Ice Phoenix Moth just now!

This cocoon had absorbed the power of a dragon lineage as its evolution material?

And it seemed to be the lingering power of a dragon race whose bloodline rank was exceedingly high, a race standing above its own!

CRACK!! CRACK!! CRACK!!!

Within the light of evolution, Buggy's Intimidation erupted in full.

The tens of thousands of evolution butterflies present could not help but dance together for Buggy's evolution.

The terror a perfect-grade Intimidation exerted upon its own kind, and an Intimidation that crossed a full major rank at that, meant that even though Buggy harbored no such intent, these evolution butterflies could not help but gaze in heartfelt admiration at the cocoon's transformation in the sky, dancing to offer their congratulations.

Even that Ice Phoenix Moth lowered its posture slightly at this moment, ceding the stage to this mysterious cocoon.

"Ten thousand butterflies dance together; a sovereign is born."

Among the crowd, many a well-traveled master, and even Hua Che, drew a deep breath at this sight, their faces showing astonishment.

That cocoon was about to evolve into a sovereign race?

Apart from the Legend Hua Xiajin, everyone declared it impossible, for it violated the laws of evolution laid down by Senior Lin Feng!

How could a Green Fluffworm cross two great evolutionary stages and reach a sovereign race!

It made no scientific sense!

Yet the scene before them, of ten thousand butterflies dancing in celebration, left them utterly bewildered.

"Impossible." Xia Yan, at the head of a group of beastmasters who had all evolved butterfly beasts with Monarch potential, stared in disbelief at the sight before them, at their own submissive pet beasts, and found the whole scene utterly absurd.

They were all super-geniuses; how could they possibly accept such a thing?

Had it been the Butterfly God they danced for, that would be one thing, but this cocoon, what on earth was going on!

The light of evolution continued to ferment, and the anomalies continued to escalate; at this very moment, not only was the sky split open, but the space around the cocoon was packed dense with spatial rifts. It was hard to imagine this was the power a Green Fluffworm could awaken after evolving.

It was then that a flood of information began feeding back from Buggy to Shi Jin.
