Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 351: Breaking Through to Become An Emperor Colossal Beast, Controlling the Thunderbolt Storm (I)

By the time the Thunder Fiery Emperor Beast returned to the Dragon Palace a few hours later, the level 8 colossal dragon had been fully consumed, providing some evolutionary points and energy.

Gurgle, gurgle! Great King, you have returned, Great King...

Boom!

With a single claw, the Thunder Beast blasted the seawater, creating a powerful vacuum shock that sent the Blue Giant Crab flying in order to interrupt its next attempt at flattery. This creature repeated the same phrase all day long, which had become tiresome to the ears.

In the ice crystal palace, the Silver Colossal Dragon watched the Thunder Beast emerge from the sea and roared with excitement. Roar! Batian, you have finally returned.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, the crystals are hard to find.

Roar, roar! I didn't get many this time either.

The Single-horned Kun and Deep Sea Dragon Turtle looked somewhat embarrassed, as they only had about twenty Life Crystals between them. Most of them were level 3 and 4, with only a few level 5 ones.

Their previous territories had already been purged twice, and the area within a thousand kilometers around the World of Water and Fire had also been plowed once a few days ago. Under such circumstances, gathering this many crystals in three days was already a great effort.

Ghidorah, exuding a bloody aura, stirred its nine dragon heads and growled chaotically. Roar! Roar! Roar! I am smart, went farther, bring back two.

Every one of the black serpent’s nine heads showed a look of pride. Two peak level 7 colossal beast carcasses lay at the feet of its ice throne, though their bodies were damaged from the battle.

On the ice platform, the Silver Colossal Dragon raised its head slightly and roared with pride.

Roar! Big Horn and Baxia are fools. Instead of catching them one by one, I drove a large number of ordinary transcendent creatures together and then slowly picked them out.

In front of the Silver Dragon was a small pile of Life Crystals, most of which were level 3, some level 2, totaling over seventy pieces.

The Thunder Beast growled with satisfaction. Roar! Everyone has worked hard; these crystals are hard to find this time, it's not your fault.

Roar! With these crystals, I should be able to push one of my abilities to the limit and might even break through my bloodline restriction.

Immediately, the Silver Dragon’s eyes lit up, and it growled excitedly. Roar! So the reason your bloodline has been improving so quickly is related to these crystals.

It had always been curious about the rapid evolution of the Thunder Beast's bloodline, and now it understood. No wonder the Thunder Beast had previously asked them to collect a large number of these crystals.

The Thunder Beast glanced at the Silver Dragon with a peculiar look, naturally understanding what it was thinking, and growled. Roar! Yes, my recent bloodline evolution is related to these crystals. Or rather, it is related to my innate ability.

Roar! I have an ability to burn the life energy contained in these crystals and convert it into "insight,” which helps me quickly comprehend the mysteries of my power. For example, the runes I taught you before were ones that I had comprehended.

Roar! Entering this state consumes a lot of life energy, so I need a large number of Life Crystals to replenish it. Otherwise, my life force would be greatly harmed.

These colossal beasts were naive, but not foolish.

Every time it acquired a large number of Life Crystals, its strength and bloodline would surge dramatically. Even a pig would understand that its transformation was related to these crystals after a few occurrences.

The topic was going to come up eventually, and this answer would avoid the need for future explanations.

Squeak! What an amazing ability, I wish I had it too. The Kun showed envy in its eyes, its tail creating huge waves as it slapped the water’s surface.

Roar! Big Horn, stop dreaming. That’s Thunder Fiery's innate ability. Do you even understand what an innate ability is? The Dragon Turtle looked at the Kun with disdain, as if it were an idiot.

Roar! So it’s your innate ability, Batian. The Silver Dragon was somewhat disappointed. It had been contemplating how to trick or tempt the Thunder Beast into giving up its secret, but who would have thought it was an innate ability?

With enough crystals, the Thunder Beast’s next step was to wait until it was dark on Chen Chu's side.

The busy day quickly passed.

Regardless of the outside disturbances, at past eight in the evening, after Yan Ruoyi had gone to rest, Chen Chu returned to his room.

He closed the door, drew the curtains, and took off his outer clothes. Then, he took a deep breath and activated the golden-red spatial rune on his arm with the true dragon power circulating within him.

Hum!

Accompanied by a flash of golden-red light, intense spatial fluctuations spread out, quickly being pinpointed from a distant location.

At the volcano's mouth, where the Thunder Beast had been waiting, the silver light on the feathered horns beside its head shone brightly, as burning flames formed a majestic and sacred crown of fire.

In the middle, a silver vortex appeared, connecting the two locations.

Roar!

The Thunder Beast let out a low growl, and the Life Crystals beneath it were lifted by an invisible force, swiftly passing through the passage like a string of glistening pearls to disappear out of sight.

After they had all vanished, the Thunder Beast slowly closed the passage. Compared to the weakness it had felt when the passage was first opened, the now late-stage level 8 colossal beast was only slightly out of breath, as it waited with anticipation.

Inside the room, Chen Chu rested briefly before picking up a level 8 crystal, which was the size of a human head and emitted a vast amount of life energy. His voice echoed in his mind. Convert to attribute points.

Silently, the life energy in the crystal dissipated rapidly, transforming into another form of energy that vanished within Chen Chu in the blink of an eye.

"You have converted one high-purity Life Crystal, gaining 4,021 attribute points."

So many, Chen Chu thought, excitement flickering in his eyes as he watched the surge in attribute points on the page. He then picked up a level 5 crystal.

This time, there were only three high-level crystals, while most of the rest were level 3 and 4, with a few level 2 and eight level 5 crystals.

After all of the Life Crystals had been converted, adding onto the thousand points he had left from before, the attribute points on the page reached 12,103.

Life Crystals had once been very precious to Chen Chu. Ever since he established the passage between his main body and his avatar, however, they were being harvested in piles. Each conversion brought in tens of thousands of attribute points, making it feel somewhat unreal to him.

Phew!

Chen Chu exhaled, looking down the attribute page at the Thunder Beast’s Golden Flames and Thunderbolt abilities, contemplating which one to enhance first.

This time, his goal was to reach emperor-level potential and defeat the middle-stage level 9 king-level colossal beast. Therefore, he should prioritize the ability that would most significantly enhance his combat power.

Compared to the Golden Flames, the power of electricity in water was actually greater. However, the Thunderbolt ability leaned more toward the domain type, so its damage didn’t seem very impressive.

Regardless of whether it was Thunderbolt or Golden Flames, both would eventually be enhanced to the top level. Thus, after a brief consideration, Chen Chu's gaze fell on the Thunderbolt ability.

"Consume 10,000 attribute points to enhance Thunderbolt."

A flood of overwhelming enhancement energy flowed through the soul passage into the Thunder Beast. Instantly, the three rows of dorsal fins on the Thunder Beast's back lit up, blue light extending from its head to the tip of its tail, with crackling lightning erupting all around.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thick, blue thunderbolts roared, shaking the ground and causing lava to explode, as they formed a Thunderbolt Domain covering a radius of three hundred meters around the Thunder Beast.

Roar!

A deep, majestic roar echoed through the entire micro-world, as an ancient, desolate, holy, and fierce aura shot into the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire micro-world's space barrier trembled under the terrifying aura of the emperor-level lifeform, with waves of energy forming typhoon-like gales that swept across the land.

Even the ground shook, and the volcano behind the Thunder Beast erupted violently, sending a pillar of scorching lava hundreds of meters into the air. It turned into countless droplets of fire, accompanied by rolling black smoke, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The commotion immediately alarmed the Silver Dragon, Serpent, and Dragon Turtle.

In the distance, the Kun had been playing with the little orcas, occasionally batting them away with a fin. That came to a complete stop, however, as it also widened its eyes in disbelief at the distant scene.

Even the Blue Crab guarding the gate swam over, its eyes peeking above the water's surface to look toward the ice crystal palace.
