Chapter 60: The Ultimate Sacrifice to Inaugurate the Tyrant's Mighty Reign! Breaking the Limits of Race!
Greymon Subspecies Mutation—GeoGreymon!
Suddenly, the entire card burst into dazzling light, transforming into countless brand-new digital genes that merged into Chu Xu's body.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
In just a short moment, Chu Xu's dragon body underwent drastic changes once again, with waves of scorching heat continuously washing over his entire muscular system.
Cervical muscles, pectoral muscle groups, shoulder muscle groups, arm muscle groups, dorsal muscle groups, abdominal muscle groups, leg muscle groups, tail muscle groups...
From head to tail, Chu Xu's muscles contracted and expanded like springs almost simultaneously, twitching violently.
Soon, one could see the muscle groups across various parts of Chu Xu's body becoming tighter and more intertwined, stacked layer upon layer. Every single muscle appeared as if sculpted from marble, featuring smooth yet full contours and an extreme sense of explosive power.
In addition, sharp, giant horns abruptly jutted out from beneath the surface muscles on Chu Xu's faceplate, shoulders, and arms, flashing with a chilling, razor-sharp edge!
GeoGreymon!
Though his overall size had not changed much, Chu Xu's strength and constitution stats had both been massively enhanced, and the numerous sharp horns grown on his body were as developed as lethal weapons, possessing even more terrifying destructive power!
GeoGreymon also mastered an even more powerful signature move. The first was an upgraded version of Mega Flame—Mega Burst, which gathered the Super Flame in his mouth before releasing it all at once to unleash a large-scale explosion.
The second was an upgraded version of Horn Impulse—Horn Strike, which grew sharp giant horns across various parts of his body to be used as lethal weapons while charging to deal a fatal strike to enemies.
Unfortunately, the completely blind One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus was utterly unable to see Chu Xu's awe-inspiring and overwhelming mutation process.
However, it had already sensed the threat of death. The previously exceptionally violent and vicious aura on its body vanished completely, replaced by incomparable terror as it hurriedly turned around and fled in panic.
The One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus had never encountered a Tyrannosaurus as terrifying as Chu Xu. Despite its modest size, it was immensely powerful and flawless.
Even the Tyrannosaurus Queen who ruled over the main river basin of the Missouri River—the one who made all the Tyrannosaurus Rexes in the region bow their heads in submission—had never given it such a sense of oppression!
Chu Xu stood motionless in place, though deep within his throat, raging fires began to brew.
While the One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus could not see, its sense of smell and hearing remained exceptionally acute. Sensing that Chu Xu was not pursuing it, it mistakenly believed it had narrowly escaped with its life.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Yet suddenly, the One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus felt a wave of intense, high-temperature heat sweeping in from behind. Merely touching the surface of its body, the heat wave caused its skin to crack and ulcerate, inflicting severe burns.
"BOOM——!!"
Immediately following that was a ball of heaven-scorching, earth-shattering Super Flame, sweeping outward with a prairie-fire momentum capable of reducing all things to ashes!
The Super Flame roared across the entire dragon body of the One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus, its accompanying terrifying high temperature almost instantly melting its flesh.
"BANG! AHHH—!!"
The next second, completely swallowed by the Super Flame, the One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus erupted in a thunderous explosion. A sound akin to an earthquake or a collapsing mountain echoed for dozens of miles around, and a blinding glare shot up into the sky, forming a billowing, churning mini mushroom cloud.
The shockwave generated by the explosion snapped all the surrounding trees and vegetation in half, sending a vast spray of splintered wood and flying gravel scattering wildly. The entire area continuously stirred up rumbling clouds of gray dust as if enduring the baptism of an earthquake.
Mega Burst!
Standing at the epicenter of the storm, Chu Xu remained unmoving, letting the tearing gale wash over his face.
The power of Mega Burst exceeded even his imagination, now being no less formidable than a conventional missile.
When he eventually evolved into the Ultimate form MetalGreymon, the power of his signature move would rival that of a nuclear missile.
Then just how strong would the final Mega form, WarGreymon, be?
Perhaps even a fragment of an asteroid from outer space heading their way could be directly intercepted and destroyed by him?!
Under the might of Mega Burst, the One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus was thoroughly dead beyond doubt, reduced to literal ashes and dust in the truest sense of the word.
Of its massive dragon body, nothing remained except a pile of powdery sand sent flying by the shockwave, drifting away into mid-air and becoming impossible to distinguish.
[Ding! You have hunted a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Evolution Points +200.]
Soon, the system prompt sounded in Chu Xu's ear.
200 evolution points were not bad at all, making it well worth the time he spent playing with this One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus.
After briefly tidying up the lingering flames and debris scattered across the ground, Chu Xu deactivated his subspecies mutant state, reverting back to Greymon.
The adult Tyrannosaurus Rex that once appeared unimaginably colossal and invincible was now something he could defeat and hunt down single-handedly.
This also meant that Chu Xu had truly ascended into the ranks of the apex predators of the Late Cretaceous, and this One-Eyed Tyrannosaurus served as the ultimate tribute to consecrate his banner as the Tyrant of Dinosaurs!
...
Three months quickly passed since Chu Xu officially began his independent life.
The dry season was coming to an end, and the resources in the southern part of the Laramidia subcontinent had been exhausted by numerous herbivorous dinosaurs, prompting them to begin their northward migration one after another.
A tree relocated to die, a man relocated to live; this logic applied to animals just as well, as migration was driven by the pursuit of a better life.
However, Chu Xu was in no rush to leave. Still adhering to the principle of steady development, he spent most of his time hunting on land.
Chu Xu's formidable reputation had already struck terror into the hearts of countless herbivorous dinosaurs. Herds of Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Thescelosaurus, and others fell victim to him one after another.
Carnivorous dinosaurs were no exception; many packs of Acheroraptor, Troodon, and Dakotaraptor that intruded into Chu Xu's territory were slaughtered down to the very last one without exception.
Presently, within Chu Xu's territorial range, almost no living creatures could be seen. Dinosaurs distributed within a radius of a hundred miles had likely all heard of his ferocious reputation and fled as far away as possible.
"Sigh, am I really that terrifying? ...Well, indeed, quite terrifying. At the mention of my name, dinosaur infants in the Cretaceous stop crying at night."
Feeling somewhat helpless, Chu Xu looked at his own reflection in the river surface and sighed.

...
Over the span of two months, Chu Xu's four-dimensional stats had more than doubled, and his size had welcomed an unprecedented surge.
Normally, upon entering adolescence, a Tyrannosaurus Rex's physical growth rate would greatly increase, allowing its weight to grow by 4 to 5 catties a day, accumulating a ton or even more over a year.
As for Chu Xu, his physical growth rate was even more abnormal. Reinforced by a large amount of evolution points strengthening his four-dimensional stats, he could gain sixty or seventy catties in a single day, causing his weight to skyrocket by a ton or more within a month!
Thus, his weight had now surged from 4 tons to 7 tons, his body length exceeded 10 meters, and his height reached 5 meters.
In terms of physical size alone, he was comparable to an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex aged 18 or older.
Moreover, this size was far from reaching Greymon's upper limit. As long as evolution points were sufficient, Chu Xu's body size would continue to soar at this wildly accelerating momentum.
To Chu Xu's knowledge, the largest individual Tyrannosaurus Rex discovered by paleontologists in later generations had a body length of 12.8 meters and a weight of 11.5 tons, which roughly represented the limit of its species.
And Chu Xu estimated that before long, he would surpass the species limit of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
