Chapter 177: Chapter 158: Terrifying Giant Beast, Egg Pancake

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm had just broken through, and there was so much to test.

"Egg Pancake, come here."

"Chirp~"

Egg Pancake had initially run several dozen meters away due to the Blood Qi fluctuations from the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s evolution.

Now, hearing its master’s call, it eagerly scampered back over.

Han Ning patted Egg Pancake’s sturdy body and used his Spiritual Power to address the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm inside him, "Try imitating Egg Pancake’s form."

"Sss~"

After evolving, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s intelligence had also improved significantly.

If its intelligence was at an infant’s level when it was at the Awakening Level, it now had the intellect of a three-year-old.

Considering the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s unique nature, Han Ning doubted there were any others of its kind on the continent. In any case, their numbers were extremely scarce, so it didn’t need a special name to distinguish it from its kin. Besides, the term "All-Encompassing" suited Han Ning’s taste, so he hadn’t given it a new name.

Upon hearing Han Ning’s command, purple-red tendrils burst out from his body. Hovering above the grass, they quickly sketched out the 50-centimeter-long figure of a Rock Fire Lizard.

Ten seconds later, a "small Egg Pancake" appeared in the woods. It was about 80% similar to the real one, but its skin was a faint purple-red.

"Chirp chirp?" Egg Pancake tilted its head, curiously eyeing the All-encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, which now looked identical to itself.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp?" the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm replied, mimicking Egg Pancake by tilting its head as well.

"Ling~" Yin Yi floated in front of the two Egg Pancakes, looking back and forth between them with a look of interest.

This was also the first time the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm had interacted with Yin Yi and Egg Pancake.

"All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, can you breathe fire?" Han Ning asked, curious.

"Chirp chirp..." The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm lowered its head in thought for a second, then opened its mouth.

The air in front of the purple Egg Pancake’s mouth wavered slightly.

Then... a tiny red flame spat out into the air.

’...Well... that’s a little weak.’ Han Ning thought, looking at the flame that was barely bigger than a candle flicker. It was at least ten notches weaker than Egg Pancake’s.

"Chirp chirp..." The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm struck a flexing pose, just like Egg Pancake would.

It was indicating that this was its limit!

"Chirp?!" A shocked expression appeared on Egg Pancake’s face when it saw the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s pose.

Egg Pancake knew it had a companion like this, but it had never seen it before. It was very surprised that this companion had suddenly appeared and was even striking its own favorite flexing pose!

’Hmm... It’s probably related to Skill Level. It should get stronger the more it imitates.’

Han Ning turned his attention to the five puppets created by the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm.

Unlike before the evolution, their bodies had grown significantly, becoming about a third larger. The color of their skin had changed from blood-red to a dark, purplish-red.

Their average strength had also increased from the Awakening Level to just barely the Extraordinary Level.

It was like gaining five Extraordinary Level helpers.

Furthermore, by communicating with the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, Han Ning learned that the puppets also possessed the Dark Seal ability. Anyone touched by a puppet’s Soul Technique would find their perception of Spiritual Energy affected.

The number of puppets it could control with a lower level than itself increased from five to eight, and the number of puppets with a slightly higher level grew to three.

With this, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s support abilities had grown even stronger.

’I wonder... if an Awakening Level Egg Pancake is assisted by an Extraordinary Level All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm entering its body for support and enhancement, could that make Egg Pancake an Extraordinary Level being?’

Han Ning looked at the large and small "Egg Pancakes" and said,

"All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, enter Egg Pancake’s body. Protect it just like you protect me, and try using Blood Qi Burst."

"Chirp~"

The small Egg Pancake on the right let out a chirp. But it was the muscles on Han Ning’s arm that rippled, and a plump, purplish-red silkworm shot out from his fingertip, burrowing into Egg Pancake’s body with a WHOOSH.

Egg Pancake didn’t even have time to react before a new Soul Beast was inside its body.

Even after it entered Egg Pancake’s body, Han Ning could still sense the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s presence through his Spiritual Power.

Then, segments of purplish-red armor formed over Egg Pancake’s sturdy muscles, protecting its vital areas.

A faint Blood Qi rose from its body, forming a tangible, red wave of energy that swirled around it. It faintly coalesced into the phantom of a Giant Beast that bore a 50% resemblance to Egg Pancake.

"CHIRROAR!"

In an instant, Egg Pancake’s muscles bulged. Its body swelled from over three meters to more than five, and two specks of what looked like burning red flame appeared in its bright eyes.

Its mood seemed to have been ignited by the abundant Blood Qi, making it extremely agitated. It reared up on its hind legs and smashed its thick forelimbs together.

At that moment, it was as if it had truly become a primordial giant beast, exuding a terrifying aura. Every inch of muscle on its body pulsed with explosive power.

"Flaming Claws!" Han Ning shouted, pointing at a large tree in the distance.

"Chirp!"

Egg Pancake lifted a foreleg, now wreathed in a bloody mist, and stomped down hard. The dirt ground instantly caved in several inches as spiderweb-like cracks spread out from the impact.

WHOOSH! Egg Pancake’s figure became a blur, leaving an afterimage as it instantly dashed to the tree Han Ning had indicated. It then raised a foreclaw and swiped.

Five sharp, jointed appendages extended from its chillingly sharp claws. The flames, mixed with the bloody mist, turned a deep crimson and flared up over a meter high.
