I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

All skills must be upgraded to Tier 4 or higher, building a ladder to the next stage of life.

Su Ze hadn’t just met the requirements; he had far exceeded them. Not only had he upgraded all his skills to Tier 4, but he also possessed multiple Tier 5 skills, and even a Divine Skill Prototype!

While others built one ladder, he had built two. Moreover, during his Saint Overlord stage, he had absorbed two Bloodline Crystals!

It was like others building a wooden ladder while he constructed one out of diamond.

He surpassed everyone else in both quantity and quality. This fifth evolution was a sure thing. Just like all his previous evolutions, there was no possibility of failure.

Taking a few deep breaths, Su Ze quickly composed himself. Time was tight, leaving no room to slowly relax and adjust.

But it didn’t matter. His foundation was so solid he could probably complete the evolution with his eyes closed.

For others, evolution grew more difficult with each successive stage of life. For Su Ze, however, the opposite was true. His accumulated advantages and unshakable foundation grew with each stage, virtually eliminating any risk.

This was the power of the Divine Grace of Evolution. It was a skill that grew stronger in the later stages. At every evolution, he absorbed one more portion of extract than anyone else, causing his advantage to snowball.

Furthermore, the quality of the extracts Su Ze absorbed was always exceptionally high, as he often assimilated materials far beyond his level. By the time he reached the Saint Overlord stage, he was absorbing things as potent as Bloodline Crystals.

’Evolve!’

Without a moment’s hesitation, a single thought from Su Ze initiated his fifth evolution.

As always, the first step was to upgrade the power of evolution itself.

Only once the power of evolution was upgraded could it then be used to transform his body and mind, completing the evolution in its entirety.

The power of evolution surged through Su Ze’s body as a vibrant, emerald-green light shone from within him.

Gradually, this green evolutionary energy passed through his flesh and skin, emerging from his body.

The green power of evolution swirled around Su Ze, enveloping him and forming a transparent green Energy Shield.

Su Ze slowly floated up about half a meter off the ground. Suspended within the green Energy Shield, he felt a scorching heat envelop his body, as if he were about to melt.

Suddenly, he began to break down, his body disassembling into cells invisible to the naked eye...

Throughout this process, his consciousness remained lucid, allowing him to perceive the profound changes occurring within him.

As he broke down, his body constantly released a chaotic mix of energies, including the life energy from his Regeneration Core, his stored electrical energy, residual traces of faint golden energy, and the Silver-gray Energy...

All these energies were absorbed by the Energy Shield formed by the external power of evolution.

After absorbing these energies, the green Energy Shield’s color began to shift, gradually turning cyan.

A few minutes later, the Energy Shield had become completely opaque and cyan, obscuring any view of the changes within.

Su Ze, however, could feel the transformation. His body, now broken down into individual cells, was merging with the cyan Energy Shield.

The cyan shield then began to shrink, condensing into a cyan-colored giant egg about half a meter tall.

The cyan power of evolution on this ”eggshell” continuously reforged every one of Su Ze’s cells, rewriting his very genes.

The cyan egg continued to shrink, growing more and more solid, and Su Ze felt as if his body were being compressed.

When the cyan egg had shrunk to the size of a regular chicken egg, it finally seemed to reach its limit and shrank no further.

It appeared to contain a terrifying power, ready to burst forth at any moment. This energy was brimming with such vitality that it caused the surrounding flowers and trees to grow with wild abandon.

Such a conspicuous phenomenon soon attracted some nearby mutated beasts. Su Ze had specifically chosen a hidden location for his evolution, but it seemed his efforts had been in vain.

However, sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations, these mutated beasts didn’t dare approach. After circling the area once, they fled in a panic.

Fortunately, the spot he had chosen was still a considerable distance from the Evolution Divine Teachings’ stronghold. A disturbance of this magnitude alone wouldn’t be enough to alert their Archbishop.

About a quarter of an hour later, the cyan energy egg that contained all of Su Ze’s cells began to slowly expand again as his cells continuously reassembled themselves inside.

The first part to take shape was his heart, which pulsed like a massive, burning iron furnace, gushing with vitality and heat.

Next, with the heart as the core, blood vessels, bones, and pieces of muscle and flesh gradually took form.

By the time the cyan energy egg had grown to the size of a person, Su Ze’s body had been completely reformed within it.

By now, the energy of the cyan egg had grown thin, turning transparent once more. Wisps of evolutionary power had been integrated into Su Ze’s body during its reconstruction.

Peering through the egg at Su Ze’s body, one could see that every inch of him was like a flawless jade carving, exuding a beauty in perfect harmony with nature.

His skin seemed almost translucent, faintly revealing the blood flowing within, the beating of his heart. His bones were as clear as crystal jade, like a masterpiece of nature’s own making.

Su Ze slowly opened his eyes. For a fleeting moment, one could see the swirling of stars within their depths before the vision vanished.

HUUUH...

He took a deep breath, and the cyan Energy Shield outside his body flowed into his mouth like a stream of air.

At the same time, his mind seemed to dip for a moment before becoming exceptionally clear. His Spiritual Power had also completed its metamorphosis, receiving another enhancement.

With that, Su Ze’s fifth evolution was complete!

He had officially become a Venerable Powerhouse!

A terrifying aura erupted from him like a storm, sweeping out in all directions with Su Ze at its center.
