Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

A crack appeared on the grayish-white silk cocoon, and it trembled slightly.

Slightly puzzled, Wei Cangming looked over.

The crack on the grayish-white silk cocoon gradually widened, as if some form of life was struggling to break free from within.

Finally.

BUZZ!

A warm, gentle breeze blew past, and the grayish-white silk cocoon shattered completely.

Then, the chrysalis quivered lightly before transforming into a colorful, fluttering butterfly.

....

BUZZ!

At the same time, inside the apartment.

As the last trace of the medicine’s power was completely absorbed, Lu Chao looked at the panel before him.

[Life Energy: 99!]

Several minutes ago, he had already reached the absolute limit of the Elite Level.

However, the subsequent medicinal power failed to push his Life Energy any higher.

Clearly, just as he had understood before, breaking through at this stage couldn’t be accomplished with resources alone.

One needed Spiritual Power that was strong enough to perfectly control one’s own strength.

In addition, one had to comprehend some mystery of life and touch upon a vital transformation to truly break the limit and surpass the hundred-point mark.

Perhaps some could achieve a sudden epiphany, breaking through in one go and crossing this great chasm.

But most people remained stuck here for a very long time.

At this thought, Lu Chao’s eyes brightened.

Far from disappointed, his gaze shifted downward, full of anticipation, to another line of information.

[Potential Progress: 99%....100%!]

[Potential Complete!]

[Talent Specialty Activation Successful!]

As the lines of information appeared before his eyes, the weight in Lu Chao’s heart was finally lifted.

Immediately after, a familiar pulling sensation came over him, threatening to draw his spiritual consciousness into some special place.

Without resisting, he soon felt his vision change. He once again saw the pitch-black, murky space, and the colossal phantom of a giant.

Its skeletal structure seemed to be composed of countless stars, twinkling with faint light.

Its spine was straight, its hands hung low, and it stood silently in the center of this space.

Everything was so familiar. Lu Chao naturally looked around its body.

The rock-gold flame beating in its heart, the pale silver light where its legs were, the crimson hue running through its arms, the bright blue glow at the center of its mind... From the fire seeds of different dimensions, four towering pillars of light, each a different color, were born, standing around the giant.

Aside from [Resilient Body], which had been upgraded and thus ascended in status, the other three Basic Talent emblems were brightly engraved at the base of their pillars, shining brilliantly.

Lu Chao only glanced at them before quickly looking up toward the higher regions.

Hazy mist drifted and spread, and new emblems could be faintly seen appearing and disappearing on the obscured surfaces of the pillars.

’Intermediate Talent Specialties...’

His eyes burning with passion, Lu Chao looked at each of the four pillars of light.

That intuitive feedback came again, exactly the same as when he had first unlocked the intermediate stage.

Although the awakened talent would still be random, he could choose a dimension.

Subconsciously, Lu Chao looked at the Survival dimension.

His gaze lingered on the [Resilient Body] emblem for a moment, and he quickly made up his mind.

’Survival is the foundation of everything, but [Resilient Body] is already enough.’

’Unless my heart, brain, or other vital spots are hit, I’m immune to fatal conditions. Plus, it has powerful healing effects and a recovery rate several times that of a normal person.’

’For me now, this is more than enough.’

’As for the Foraging and Spirit Transformation dimensions, judging from the first two Basic Talents, they clearly correspond to life growth and the Spiritual Heart, respectively.’

’They’re both very important, but...’

His gaze shifted to the crimson pillar of light that radiated a sense of violent tyranny.

The [Violence] dimension.

He knew very well what he lacked most at this moment, and he knew how many enemies in his surroundings bore him ill will.

The prerequisite for continuing to grow and become stronger was to survive first.

And the best offense is the best defense!

’I choose you!’

The thought took root, and Lu Chao made his decision.

As if understanding his choice, the crimson pillar of light jolted violently.

BUZZ!!

A blinding crimson light burst forth from it, briefly dispelling some of the mist.

In that instant, Lu Chao stared intently, his eyes fixed on the intermediate-level area of the pillar.

He saw over a dozen gray emblems.

Although it was only for a brief moment, the sight still startled him.

And soon, under the effect of the awakening power...

A gray emblem slowly brightened as threads of crimson light filled it, gradually turning it into an exceptionally bright crimson insignia.

In contrast, the other emblems around it faded away one by one, once again shrouded by the gray mist.

Seeing this, Lu Chao raised an eyebrow, various speculations rising in his mind.

But before he could think too much about it...

[Talent Specialty: Titan’s Power!]

[Quality: Intermediate—Violence Dimension!]

[Effect 1—Triple Extreme: After entering Titan Form, your three core physical attributes—strength, physique, and explosive power—will be tripled!]

[Effect 2—Mighty Bulwark: After entering Titan Form, you will gain 65% damage immunity to conventional physical attacks and low-velocity heavy firepower weapons (e.g., armor-piercing bullets, standard grenades, explosive shells, small missiles)!]

[Effect 3—Herculean Arms: When launching a physical attack, you will be blessed with the Herculean Arms trait, further enhancing the explosive power of your wrists, allowing you to easily tear through steel alloys!]

[Note 1: You must use extreme anger to activate Titan Form! No debilitating after-effects!]

[Note 2: Titan Form consumes physical energy to maintain. The consumption rate will gradually decrease as your power increases!]

The lines of information filled his vision. Lu Chao held his breath, momentarily stunned.

After he finished reading everything, his eyes shone brightly, gradually filling with fiery passion and amazement.

’Titan’s Power?’

’A full-scale enhancement based on the three cores of strength, explosiveness, and physical defense, with a threefold increase... this point alone surpasses [Adrenaline Rush] several times over.’

’Even more astonishing is the damage reduction effect against conventional physical attacks and low-velocity heavy firepower.’

’A full 65% damage immunity.’

’With the all-around physical enhancement and the buff from the Rock Martial Skill, this isn’t a simple one-plus-one equation anymore; it’s a powerful defense that has been doubled yet again.’

Lu Chao suspected that after activating Titan Form, he would probably be able to ignore even rocket-propelled grenades and small missiles.

Furthermore, there was the explosive trait called [Herculean Arms], which gave him another powerful boost on top of his existing explosive strength!

Without a doubt, the effects of this intermediate talent were worthy of the name "Violence Dimension" and were even stronger than he had initially imagined.

BUZZ!

The next instant, before Lu Chao could ponder it further...

several more lines of information suddenly appeared before him.

[Potential Foreshadowing: You have completed two-fourths of the intermediate stage of Talent Awakening!]

[Once the intermediate stages of the four major dimensions are complete, you will unlock the Advanced Potential Stage and Potential Fission!]

’This is... Potential Foreshadowing?’

A glint in his eyes, Lu Chao was slightly surprised.

’I’ve already completed half of the intermediate stage awakenings?’

He quickly recalled the upgrade of [Resilient Body] and felt a sense of relief.

However, he could understand the Advanced Potential Stage. He already had some experience with it; he needed to awaken one intermediate talent in each of the four dimensions to unlock it.

’But, Potential Fission?’

Looking at the last two words of the message, Lu Chao was a little puzzled.

But soon, a kind of intuitive feedback came to him, causing his eyes to narrow as he quickly grasped the key point.

The so-called Potential Fission was a trait that would remain with him after he completed the intermediate stage.

With it, even after the Advanced Potential Stage was unlocked, he could continue to awaken intermediate Talent Specialties. Moreover, he could make them form power branches for the four major dimensions, using this as the key to pushing for the awakening of High-level Talents later on.

At this thought, Lu Chao looked up again at the four pillars of light corresponding to the four major dimensions.

Although the higher areas were shrouded in mist, he faintly recalled the intermediate talent emblems he had briefly seen earlier.

Lu Chao couldn’t help but feel that these four pillars of light were like four world-pillars of different colors, or perhaps, metaphorically, four enormous, thick trees.

It was just that right now, they only had roots and trunks, looking rather plain. In the future, he would need to awaken more intermediate talents to make them grow into towering trees that would gradually bear fruit and give birth to higher-level dimensional talents.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Chao faintly understood.

Then, before he could delve deeper...

A sharp, unusually violent pain shot through his body.

By the time his vision was pulled back to the Cultivation Chamber in his apartment...

The pain was intense, as if something was frantically tearing apart his muscles, bones, and flesh.

Lu Chao’s face was flushed red, veins bulged on his skin, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

And yet, he gritted his teeth and endured it all.

He had never been so clear-headed and utterly calm.

Because he could feel it.

The legendary Superpower Ascension had seemingly begun!
