As Essence Blood was continually sacrificed, the degree of Ye Yongsheng's transformation deepened further.

In an instant, he transformed from a half-man half-beast form into a completely Exotic Beast.

His pupils were crimson, filled with bloodshot venation.

Wings grew on his back, the surface covered in flesh spikes.

Atop his head were two massive horns, continually circulating with Blood Qi Power.

His whole body's muscles bulged prominently, filled with explosive power.

His massive and robust body stood before the city leaders attacking him like an insurmountable ten-thousand-meter mountain, immensely oppressive.

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion was heard.

The completely transformed Ye Yongsheng's body suddenly erupted with immense pressure, shattering the surrounding air like broken glass.

Those city leaders who were attacking him were blown away by this force.

Each one bled from all orifices, severely injured.

A few weaker ones were even shaken to the point of soul disturbance, losing consciousness on the spot.

"Hum!"

Having dealt with the nearby nuisances, Ye Yongsheng dashed towards Lin Zichen in a flash.

His speed was so fast that it rubbed against the air, producing a piercing sound of breaking through the air, tearing numerous shocking spatial cracks.

Having transformed into an Exotic Beast, his strength had increased significantly, ascending directly to the Legendary Ninth Order.

Only a step away from the supreme Mythical Level Creature.

Such a rise in Biological Level in a short period of time required an unimaginable price.

The biggest cost was that the body transformed into an Exotic Beast could not revert to the human form.

However, this was not a problem for Ye Yongsheng.

He had been stationed here in Origin Land for many years, entering countless ancient and mysterious ruins and had obtained a large number of rare treasures.

Among these treasures was a pitch-black mysterious bead that could allow his own consciousness to invade another creature's consciousness and supplant it.

In layman's terms, it was "Soul Possession."

Now, having been stuck at the Legendary Level for countless years and finding his Evolution Path blocked, he planned to possess Lin Zichen's miraculous body to break into the Mythical Level Creature status.

In doing so, not only could he reopen his previously closed Evolution Path, but he could also rid himself of the Alien Races' control.

His rise to Vice Governor and evolution to a high-order Legendary powerhouse could not have been achieved without the support of the Alien Races.

To gain the support of the Alien Races, he had to sell himself to them.

His body was now filled with the Alien Races' safeguards.

If he dared to be disloyal, the Alien Races could effortlessly take his life at any moment.

"Quick, stop him!"

"Stop this despicable traitor!"

"Don't let him get close to Lin Zichen!"

Seeing Ye Yongsheng transformed into an Exotic Beast flying swiftly towards Lin Zichen, a white-haired, bearded city leader immediately shouted to alert his colleagues.

As he shouted, he had already burst forth with all his Qi-Blood, frantically sacrificing his Essence Blood to catch up to Ye Yongsheng at the fastest speed and prevent the traitorous Deputy City Lord from getting close to Lin Zichen.

Although his Biological Level was inferior to Ye Yongsheng's, fortified by the powerful flying Exotic Beast Gene in his body, he flew in front of Ye Yongsheng in the blink of an eye, blocking his path.

"You overestimate yourself."

Seeing the old man who came to stop him, Ye Yongsheng's eyes were full of disdain.

The white-haired elder, hearing these words, felt no fluctuation in his heart.

He was well aware that with his own strength, it was impossible to stop Ye Yongsheng from approaching Lin Zichen.

However, normal methods wouldn't work.

If he resorted to unconventional methods, there was still a chance for success.

"Lord Ye, unlike you, I don't betray my people for personal gain; instead, I would sell myself for the benefit of my people."

The white-haired elder said these words calmly, his body's Qi-Blood and spirit completely depleted in the process, turning into a surging energy expanding within him.

Feeling the energy expanding within the white-haired elder, Ye Yongsheng's face abruptly changed, swearing:

"You fucking madman!"

As the curse fell,

the body of the white-haired elder in front of Ye Yongsheng began to inflate like a balloon, fissures glowing red bursting across his body.

Then, only a "bang" was heard.

The body of the white-haired elder exploded.

An explosive force many times more terrifying than a nuclear blast rapidly spread from the exploded body of the white-haired elder, destroying everything it touched.

Ye Yongsheng, being closest, was hit by this explosive force first.

His mountainous body was blown away like a kite with its string cut.

The other city leaders, slightly further away, were also unable to withstand the impact, flying backwards violently.

The city below was not spared either, many creatures were affected, shaking until blood ran from all orifices, severely injured.

Some lower Biological Level creatures were even shaken to death, their souls shattered, leaving lifeless bodies permanently on this devastated battlefield.

Far away, Lin Zichen, sensing the powerful energy impact, instantly teleported in front of Shen Qinghan and shielded her with his body.

About ten seconds later,

the shockwave generated by the white-haired elder's self-destruction finally subsided.

Lin Zichen lifted his head and surveyed his surroundings.

The view that met his eyes was either utterly destroyed or covered with corpses.
