When Xiao Long clicked the button—

  In an instant, Xiao Long's body emitted a strange golden glow, enveloping him entirely in golden light. His cells rapidly divided, and scales grew wildly.

  His tiny form finally began to ge at this moment.

  First was the length; in just a mi grew to a meter long at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, a finger-sized bck horn sprouted from the top of his head, emitting a deep luster in the darkness, as if abs all surrounding light.

  "This is..." Xiao Long was astonished. A snake's body with a horn on its head—wasn't this a Floon?

  Aexts recorded that a dragon's juvenile form was a Chi, with cws but no horns, transf into a Floon after five hundred years, and into a true dragon after another five hundred years.

  But he hadn't grown cws, only a horn, still remaining at the snake level, somewhat simir to a one-horned golden python.

  He could feel that the horn stored a rge amount of venom, finally evolving from a non-venomous Bck Spine So a highly venomous python.

  At this moment, another ge occurred within Xiao Long's body. He suddenly discovered that the demon core inside him litting!

  His True Qi involuntarily surged over, enveloping the demon core and pulling it apart. The demon core slowly split into two.

  A single demo with two demon cores—Xiao Long had never seen such a situation and didn't know what straransformation his body was undergoing, whether it was good or bad.

  "Ahhh!!!"

  A heart-wreng tearing pain emanated from within, as the demon core, the most essential part of a demo, was forcibly torn apart. This pain was han soul-burning, causing Xiao Long to roll on the ground in agony.

  "I am the Burning Heaven Dragon Emperor, what is this pain? E!" In his past life, Xiao Long had endured pain a huimes worse than this. After a brief adaptation, he finally calmed down.

  At this moment, in the sky outside, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi gathered from all dires, f a huge cloud of Spiritual Qi. Usually, when a genius broke through to the Qi densing Realm, a cloud of Spiritual Qi would appear in the sky, with the number indig the strength of the person. When Huang Mao broke through, fifteen clouds appeared, a rarity in the world.

  When Xiao Long broke through, no such phenomenon occurred, but now, during his evolution, a massive cloud of Spiritual Qi appeared in the sky. Although it was only one cloud, its volume was rger than a hundred clouds bined, almost f a mountain range of Spiritual Qi.

  Fortunately, this pce was remote, and no one saw it, otherwise, it would have caused a huge uproar.

  The splitting of the demon core was extremely slow, taking an hour to plete.

  After an hour, the two demon cores quietly stood inside Xiao Long. One of them emitted a rge amount of golden airflow, the golden True Qi brought by practig the Azure Dragon Tome, while the other remained in its most primitive b.

  At this time, the demon core taining golden True Qi released a small amount of True Qi, which flowed into the newly formed demon core until it was full, roughly equal to oh of the inal demon core in terms of quantity.

  "Two demon cores, one normal, the other a split core taining only oh of the True Qi, what is going on?" Xiao Long couldn't uand.

  [System Prompt: gratutions to pyer Xiao Long for pleting the first evolution!]

  "Ding! Pyer Xiao Long has acquired the innate skill 'Enhance'"

  "Ding! Pyer Xiao Long has acquired the innate skill 'Devour'"

  "Ding! Pyer Xiao Long has obtaihe bloodline iahree Lives Art'"

  "Ding! Xiao Long has successfully evolved, unlog the Inner World!"

  "Ding! Xiao Long has successfully evolved, unlog the Myriad Worlds Mall system!"

  A series of system prompts echoed in his mind, and Xiao Long found that his status page had undergone a dramatic ge.

  Name: Xiao Long

  Race: Mutated Bck Spine Snake (High-level Demo)

  Level: 15, level requires 700,000 experience

  Soul: Great Perfe of the Emperor realm (Frozen)

  Cultivatiohod: Azure Dragon Tome (Sixth Layer)

  Skills: Beast Taming, Enhance, Devour

  Iahree Lives Art

  Gold s: 8219

  A flood of information poured into Xiao Long's mind, detailing everything about 'Enhance,' 'Devour,' 'Three Lives Art,' as well as the Inner World and Myriad Worlds Mall.

  Inner World: A space within the demon core, taining a rge amount of venom, with a length and width of a hundred meters, expanding as strength increases. When food is absorbed, it be automatically digested to gain experience.

  'Enhance': enrge or shrink the body at will, from a minimum of 0.1 meters to a maximum of 100 meters. Speed and strength remain unged, with True Qi ption increasing proportionally with size, no cooldown.

  'Devour': absorb any objeto the Inner World. The Inner World is retively fragile, use with caution, no cooldown.

  'Three Lives Art': The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. The first stage create a e with oh of the main body's bat power. The sed stage has two-tenths bat power. The third stage...

  ...

  After reading all the information, Xiao Long couldn't help but gasp. These skills were simply earth-shattering!

  Not to mention anything else, just the 'Enhance' skill alone could make his bat power soar.

  The same power, whether used to stab or punch, has pletely different effects. If Xiao Long transformed into a 0.1-meter-long needle and shot forward, even an Innate Expert could be pierced if caught off guard.

  If he wao cause massive destru, growing to a hundred meters, a single roll could topple a row of houses.

  In Xiao Long's view, the 'Enhance' innate skill was even more abnormal than Heaven-level martial arts. It might not have the destructive power of Heaven-level martial arts, but 'Enhance' had no cooldown and little ption, which Heaven-level martial arts couldn't pare to.

  The 'Devour' skill was more suitable for dealing with weaker oppos, abs them into the Inner World and poisoning them to death, leaving no escape.

  The only drawback was that it couldn't absorb ehat were to.

  The Inner World existed within Xiao Long's demon core. If the Inner World were breached, the demon core would explode, which would be fatal to Xiao Long.

  However, the most robust part of a demo was its demon core. Xiao Long was now a fifth-tier Demon General, and his demon core, haviempered by the Azure Dragon Tome, was more resilient than that of a seventh-tier Demon General. Even against a human at the eighth level of the Qi densing Realm, Xiao Long was fident he could withstand it.

  That said, unless absolutely necessary, Xiao Long wouldn't easily absorb enemies into the Inner World, as it was his lifeline.

  Xiao Long looked at a ro front of him, opened his mouth, and swallowed it, using the innate skill 'Devour.'

  The rock appeared in the Inner World and dissolved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a puddle of water ihan half a breath.

  Xiao Long thehe 'Enhance' skill, and his body quickly shrank to only 0.1 meters ih, resembling ahworm.

  Log his gaze on the rock wall ahead, Xiao Long flicked his tail, and his body shot out like an arrow, pierg through the rock wall as if it were paper, emerging from the other side.

  "Haha! Iing!" Xiao Long ughed heartily.

  Xiao Long thought of the other demon core inside him. Acc to the 'Three Lives Art,' it was a e demon core from the first stage of the 'Three Lives Art,' possessing oh of the main body's bat power.

  "Legend has it that the creator of the Shenzhou ti had tless es. The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. This is simir to the 'Three Lives Art.' Could it be that the 'Three Lives Art' is the legacy of the creator?" Xiao Long pondered.

  Xiao Long stared at the empty space beside him, and with a thought, the other newly formed demon core inside him was forced out, floating beside him.

  "Three Lives Art, dense!"

  With a word, the Spiritual Qi of heaven ah seemed to be drawn by something, all attag to the demon core. Xiao Long ihe intation, spitting out a mouthful of life essence blood, which was also absorbed by the demon core.

  After abs the essence blood, a rge amount of flesh and bones spontaneously grew on the demon core, rapidly f first the torso, then the head, limbs... gradually taking on a humanoid outline.

  A few breaths ter, a brand new figure appeared there, with short bck hair, a medium build, and a handsome and elegant appearance, exactly like Xiao Long's previous life as the Burning Heaven Dragon Emperor.

  "One sciousness, two bodies, the 'Three Lives Art' is indeed exquisite." The two "Xiao Longs" spoke in unison.
