Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!-Chapter 334: Beyond the Peak Demon Entity (2).

Unfortunately, after experiencing pain for a dozen minutes, the expected panel, showing choices of evolution or information about elevating his species/bloodline, didn't occur; instead, after slightly solidifying his core and giving him insight regarding obscure rules, the pain he was experiencing suddenly subsided... vanishing like air.

"This... one essence of blood isn't enough to elevate my bloodline?"

Sighing disappointedly, Leo then gazed at the bottle containing 14 drops of blood essence beside him, hesitating slightly before directly taking out two drops of blood essence within.

Staring at the vicious, purple substance hovering within the atmosphere, which was lightly affecting the space and spreading ripples of rules around them, Leo then opened his mouth, gulping them in an instant before bracing himself for the inevitable pain.

Groan—

Sure enough, after the blood essence entered his body, his blood essence suddenly churned, quickly surrounding the two blood essences as they hurriedly divided them into countless parts, tainting every one of his blood as they began showing signs of elevation.

In addition to that, an unknown transcended force began affecting his soul, seemingly shredding his soul into countless parts as the impurities it contained began to lessen drastically... Making his soul more solidified, which gave it a natural yet dreadful pressure.

Seeing the choices in front of him, Leo, although in great pain, couldn't help but show delight on his face. Grinning like a fool as he began reading them, weighing their pros and cons carefully.

Although it's quite disappointing that there's no Legendary or Ungradable grade within the evolution choices, Leo didn't feel much; instead, he was quite satisfied upon seeing that the advantage he would gain upon choosing any of them was much higher when he first elevated his species from a mere wisp.

"No, in fact, their grade seems only a step away from the legendary and unique grade... It's just that the distance between the two seems impossible to breach."

Ughhh!

Suddenly, as he was pondering, the feeling of pain, worse than he was experiencing earlier, assaulted his soul, seemingly forcing him to quickly choose between the evolution route in front of him, as he couldn't help but release a groan of agony.

Hurriedly taking a deep breath, Leo, after seconds of deliberation, hurriedly clicked one of the evolution choices — picking the evolution route he deemed would increase his overall capabilities by a notch.

Ding!

[ Upon choosing an evolution route, you wouldn't be able to retract your choice...

(Accept/Decline?) ]

"Accept!"

Boom!

In an instant, upon touching the accept button, Leo's soul began to tremble; his senses grew blurry as a faint sensation of numbing spread within his consciousness — leaving him in a daze as he stared at the unknown, slowly perceiving a higher form of rules.

In addition to that, his solidified core began showing signs of being tainted by an unknown force, making the rules it contained become restless and agitated as time passed by.

Moreover, his physical body, a product of his cultivation technique, seems to flicker unstably, transitioning between corporeal and incorporeal form, as if his existence would be extinguished at any moment.

At the same time, while Leo was undergoing transformation...

Within the place filled with dense miasma, covering the earth, sky, and atmosphere, greatly hindering one's vision... Dozens of devils, beasts, and mutated humans could be seen silently staring at the ethereal door in the distance — watching it flicker intermittently before completely vanishing within their line of sight.

Seeing that the door finally vanished toward the void, a silhouette wearing a black robe that could isolate divine senses from potential prying suddenly faced the Nascent Soul beast nearby.

"It's already time to lay down the formation. Don't make a mistake... If we let anyone escape, then the plan would immediately crumble."

Hearing this, the Nascent Soul beast didn't immediately reply; instead, his vertical eyes only stared at the robed man in front of him, as if he was assessing the other party.

"Before that, I want to know why you are doing this—helping us instead of fighting alongside humans."
