Chapter 175 Twisted Void

Rumble!

The aftermath of more than a dozen Calamity Grades fighting caused the sea to churn with towering waves. Great whirlpools appeared in this area, dark blue and black vortex eyes covering the surface, densely packed and spinning without end.

Gales siphoned seawater, forming towering waterspouts that connected the sea and the dark clouds.

Miserable winds and bitter rain transformed into a white mist in the wind, drifting back and forth.

Above the sea, it was an apocalyptic scene, as if nature had transformed into a husky, frolicking to its heart's content.

The moment Han Xiao submerged into the sea, these noises suddenly became faint and blurred, as if separated by a layer of gauze. The seawater medium weakened the propagation of some sounds in the air, while the sound of turbulent currents roaring in the sea instantly amplified, as if he were in the center of hundreds of giant drums, surrounded by surround sound, with rumbles coming from all directions.

The radar showed that Sylvia was also diving into the sea. Han Xiao's eyes narrowed.

"I have to hold her back. I can't let her get close when I advance."

Thinking this, Han Xiao ordered the mechanical legion following him to turn around and entangle her, while he rapidly descended.

The underwater world before him was deep and vast, the distance shifting from deep blue to pitch black. Visibility was low, and there was no light source here. It was endless, even darker than the universe.

"Fortunately, I don't have a fear of the deep sea," Han Xiao thought to himself.

The sea was the cradle of life, and the sea of Aquamarine Star contained many ancient creatures, but at this time, all the marine life in this area had fled, leaving the sea deathly silent, devoid of life.

Sylvia was held back by the mechanical legion. Han Xiao moved quickly underwater and found a trench that had just opened up a few hours ago.

"It'll be here."

With a thought, Han Xiao immediately opened the interface, selected the "Completed" advancement mission, and activated it.

A shudder in his bone marrow and soul rapidly swept through his body. He was all too familiar with this feeling of advancement.

At this moment, a series of prompts popped up wildly on the interface:

[【Trial of the Strong】：Current progress 50/50]

[Level 180 Advancement Mission Complete! Endurance bonus increased! 1 Endurance = 120 Health = 130 Stamina]

[You have taken another step on the path of evolution. Your life level has been sublimated. Race detected: 【Chaotic Observer (Human Form)】... Eight matching evolutionary directions are being randomly drawn... Drawing complete!]

[Please select one of the following eight options as your evolutionary race—Warning! The evolutionary process is irreversible, please choose carefully! 【Appendix-Evolutionary Direction Feature Description】]

[【X-type Cosmic Human】-67% Compatibility]

[【Void Walker (Human Form)】-78% Compatibility]

[【Shadow of the Abyss (Human Form)】-72% Compatibility]

[【Void Disciple (Human Form)】-71% Compatibility]

[【Void Distorter (Human Form)】-69% Compatibility]

[【Void Whisperer (Spirit Form)】-84% Compatibility]

[【Void Slime】-55% Compatibility]

[【Octopod】-31% Compatibility]

First of all, non-Void races were immediately eliminated. The Octopod, with its octopus tentacles, was completely out of the question. As for the Void Slime, it was too bizarre and was also eliminated.

The Void Whisperer was a spiritual form, suitable for mages and psychic, while Han Xiao had a powerful physical body and would naturally not give up his solid form.

The only reliable options were the four evolutionary choices that retained a human form.

Han Xiao quickly browsed through them and immediately made his choice.

The Void Overlord's core had strengthened his Void genes. Because Han Xiao had jumped from the human race's evolutionary system to the Void evolutionary system, he was a novice and naturally couldn't compare to individuals who were Void creatures from the start. The Void Overlord's core and other Void gene items enhanced his degree of evolution in the Void system, allowing his evolutionary speed to catch up.

Thanks to the Void Overlord's core, this time the racial sublimation produced an option that crossed realms. This was a higher-level species in the Void evolutionary system. According to its data, compared to other normal options, this species was a major level higher on the evolutionary chain and could make up for his lagging parts!

Whether it was the immediate stat boost or the potential for future upward evolution, this species was the best choice!

Han Xiao quickly made a decision.

[Selection complete, race evolution in progress... Evolution complete!]

[Race changed to: 【Void Distorter (Human Form)】, molecular structure perfected, organ structure strengthened, metabolism altered, adaptability enhanced, gene optimization... Your potential aptitude has been increased!]

[You have obtained attribute completion: Strength +44, Dexterity +83, Endurance +65, Intelligence +120, Mystery +92, Charisma +34, Energy +1460, Energy Level bonus attribute changed!]

Han Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, a deep light flashing in the depths of his pupils.

The cells and genes throughout his body changed, and his body and spirit erupted in dual intense pain. His vision constantly switched between the real world and the Void dimension, and his brain trembled.

His thirsty body greedily absorbed the energy of the Void dimension, his entire body radiating a mysterious gray light and a deep blue light.

His previous two evolutions were the Void Lurker and the Chaotic Observer. If the Void creatures were evaluated by the legion system, these two were ordinary soldiers of different types, while the Void Distorter was an existence at the level of a centurion!

He had directly crossed a class, from a cannon fodder soldier to a mid-level officer!

This racial sublimation greatly deepened his connection with the Void dimension. His body seemed to have become a container, and Void energy directly poured into his body. Every cell was absorbing Void energy.

And the Energy originating from his cells also changed under the erosion of the Void energy:

[You have gained Void energy blessing!]

[Your Energy recovery speed +30%]

[Your Energy +1000]

[You have obtained a new Energy attribute: 【Void】—Your Energy possesses Void characteristics]

A new Energy attribute!

Han Xiao was overjoyed. He endured the pain and hurriedly looked at the interface. The interface displayed dual Energy attributes: the Mechanic's Magnetic Force, and the newly acquired Void attribute.

Seeing this, the excitement in Han Xiao's heart almost burst out. He was in pain and happiness at the same time.

The change in the Energy attribute was not as obvious as attribute values, but it was very important and could even change a person's fighting style.

Although the interface description was ambiguous, Han Xiao had already felt the change in the energy in his body during the racial sublimation process, which was gradually becoming more fluid. Moreover, he remembered the information from his previous life and was very clear about the effects of the 【Void】 attribute:

Energy Erosion!

Energy propagation mediated by the Void dimension!

The practical effects of these two characteristics were very strong and could be matched with any class!

The evolution continued, and the Void energy in his body gradually became saturated, stirring the seawater and forming a giant vortex underwater.

Han Xiao's advancement attracted Sylvia's attention.

"I can't let him act as he pleases!"

Sylvia didn't know what Han Xiao was doing, but that didn't stop her from wanting to stop him, shaking the seawater madly, crushing mechanical soldiers and clearing a path.

She charged straight toward the center of the underwater vortex, raising her hand and unleashing a majestic wave.

Rumble!!

The underwater vortex was instantly shattered into turbulent currents. At the critical moment, Han Xiao avoided the direct hit and was only pushed away by the aftermath.

Sylvia was a formidable enemy. Han Xiao didn't slowly experience the changes in his body. He glanced at the various new talents displayed on the interface, and then directly threw the experience into the interface, clicking wildly to level up!

Experience greatly reduced!

Fifteen levels in a row!

Leveling prompts popped up one after another.

[【True Mechanic】increased to Lv25 (max), Energy +450, Strength +2, Dexterity +4, Endurance +4, Intelligence +10, you have gained 7 free attribute points, 1 potential point]

His class had reached the top level, and Han Xiao's leveling momentum stopped.

He still allocated all the points to Intelligence.

His total level was one hundred and ninety-five!

Before Han Xiao had time to look at the changes in the attribute panel, the rapid increase in strength caused a sense of swelling in his body. The full and powerful energy was about to burst out of every cell, and he urgently needed to release it.

Without saying a word, Han Xiao recalled the Mountain Ape mechanical suit that had been scrapped twice and rushed toward Sylvia.

At this time, Sylvia could finally see Han Xiao's current appearance clearly, and her expression suddenly changed.

Han Xiao's skin had turned silver-gray, with a crystalline texture, reflecting energy light. He had symmetrical dark blue strange patterns on his body, and his whole body was burning with silver flames fueled by Void energy. His hair floated in the sea and had also turned silver-gray, like dancing flames.

His eyes had become obsidian-like, and his pupils had turned into grain-sized white dots of light.

This appearance was somewhat similar to the Void Lurker from before, but the energy fluctuations it emitted were even more astonishing.

New racial talent—【Void Metamorphosis】!

"What is this..."

Sylvia was stunned.

In that instant, Han Xiao spread his hands, half of his palms reaching into the Void dimension, and bent his fingers into claws, as if grabbing a canvas and pulling it hard.

"Taste this!"

The next moment, the world before Sylvia suddenly became chaotic.

She felt that all the muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels in her body were squeezed into a ball and then kneaded open by invisible hands. She had the illusion that she had turned into a rag and was being rubbed and twisted, squeezing out the juice from her body.

It was only a short moment, but in her perception, it felt like countless years had passed. This indescribable and strange feeling had exceeded the understanding of most people. Regarding the experience of this moment, Sylvia felt like she had a dream. After waking up, she forgot the content of the dream, but her heart retained an unparalleled sense of insignificance, as if she had dreamed of something extremely terrifying.

Just as she was at a loss, continuous intense pain suddenly erupted in every corner of her body!

Sylvia suddenly came back to her senses, her expression changing drastically. An alarm bell rang in her heart. She was about to withdraw quickly, but she didn't expect that the surrounding seawater had already begun to rotate rapidly, producing a terrifying suction force that made it difficult for her to escape.

"Crap!" Sylvia's mind was shaken.

The changes here also spread to the sea surface. All the small whirlpools in this chaotic sea area were torn apart by the turbulent currents and merged into a super whirlpool that seemed to swallow the sky and devour the earth!

Rumble!

The ten Calamity Grades in the sky all stopped and stared in shock at the terrifying whirlpool that was almost boundless beneath their feet.

In their eyes, the ocean had become no longer an ocean, like a deep starry sky. This whirlpool was simply a black hole in the starry sky.

Profound, mysterious, terrifying!

Like the mouth of an abyss!

The person who created this kind of movement could only be Han Xiao and Sylvia, who had entered the sea one after another.

"What did they do in the sea?" Wilton widened his eyes in horror.

At the same time, in the sea.

Sylvia seemed to have been thrown into a washing machine, floating and undulating in the whirlpool, enduring terrifying tearing damage.

In the calmest center of the vortex, Han Xiao held the Void dimension tightly with both hands. A huge resistance came from his hands, and he could only maintain the status quo with all his strength. The Energy in his body was consumed madly, and it was released continuously along his hands.

"This time's evolved species is too damn fierce!"

Han Xiao was also taken aback by the effect of this attack.

This move came from the new talent ability of the Void Distorter—

【Distort Void】!!
