Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 218: Mythical Sovereign, Destruction of the Heavenly Foundation (II)

The Thunder Beast let out a wave of hot breath, boiling the water in front of it.

Roar! Baxia, we don't need to bother with those small silver fish anymore. We’ll wait for Big Horn to bring his family over, and then we’ll guard this place from now on.

Roar! Yeah, we're making this our nest, anyone dares to come and snatch, we'll kill them!

The Dragon Turtle nodded with excitement. It had witnessed the changes in the Thunder Beast's body after consuming that tiny crystal just now. The effects astonished the creature, and it had immediately understood that those dense crystals on the opposite side meant they could now grow at a faster rate.

For mutated creatures, size equaled strength. The larger the body, the stronger the flesh, the more power contained within, and the higher the level of evolution.

Just then, as the water flowed, another crystal was swept up by the current into the rift. As soon as it entered, it was silently split into seven pieces by the invisible spatial rifts that permeated the passage. By the time it flowed to this side, the crystal had been reduced to just one-twentieth of its original size, with the rest swallowed by the rifts.

Roar! Baxia, this one's a bit small, do you want it?

Roar! Yes, yes.

The Dragon Turtle nodded eagerly, then opened its mouth wide, emitting a powerful suction force to swallow both the small crystal and the water in that area.

With the surge of pure and majestic growth energy, the Dragon Turtle's size also visibly increased.

Seeing this, the Thunder Beast's eyes flickered, and it growled softly. Roar! Let's head out and inform Big Horn.

The Dragon Turtle nodded.

However, there was some trouble when they tried to leave. The Dragon Turtle's body was too wide, and it had gotten stuck in the depths of the cave. It had to slowly back out a bit before the Thunder Beast had enough room to turn around. It was a wonder that the crocodile’s massive body had been able to squeeze in here at all.

Bang!

The surface of the water in the pool exploded, and first crawled out the colossal beast with a sharp spiked turtle shell on its back, followed by the colossal beast covered in fierce black and red scales all over its body.

The Thunder Beast looked toward the distant crocodile carcass and growled softly to the Dragon Turtle. Roar! Baxia, go inform Big Horn of the situation over here. I'm feeling a bit hungry and need to eat.

Roar! Alright, Thunder Fiery.

The Dragon Turtle nodded and then scurried back along the path toward the beach. It was feeling a bit hungry too, and was ready to catch some mutated creatures in the sea to eat.

Naturally, the crocodile belonged to the leader, Thunder Fiery.

The Thunder Beast returned to the giant crocodile carcass, then opened its mouth wide and took a bite.

Crunch!

Under the Thunder Beast's terrifying bite force, the crocodile’s tough and heavy scales were torn apart, followed by its resilient flesh, which was ruthlessly bitten off in tons. Instantly, the rich taste of blood filled the Thunder Beast's mouth.

As a level 8 colossal beast, this mutated creature’s flesh contained extremely rich energy. Although its muscles were as tough as soft alloy, they were crushed and swallowed by the Thunder Beast in just a few bites.

As the flesh and blood entered its stomach, the rich biological energy spread out, revitalizing the empty cells along its path like a desert being nourished by rain. Suddenly, the Thunder Beast felt much more comfortable all over and couldn't help but tear off another large piece of flesh.

While the Thunder Beast was enjoying its meal, the Dragon Turtle was chasing after mutated creatures in the sea to fill its belly.

For a moment, they had both forgotten the Single-horned Kun.

Behind the small island, the Kun raised its head slightly, ready for battle at any moment as its sharp eyes fixed on the steep, twenty-meter-tall cliff.

It's been quite a while since they left, and still no sign of them. For Thunder Fiery to be in a standoff, it seems like this enemy is quite formidable. Ugh, I don't have claws, and I can't get ashore, otherwise, I'd join in kicking butts.

After an hour of nervous waiting, the sea behind the Kun churned, and the monstrous giant Dragon Turtle swam over.

Seeing the Dragon Turtle suddenly approaching from behind, the Kun was slightly taken aback. Squeak squeak squeak! Baxia, weren't you guys fighting up there?

Roar! We finished long ago. The Dragon Turtle burped, spitting out some blood and flesh residue.

Squeak squeak squeak! Finished long ago!? The Kun was surprised.

Roar! Yeah, the Dragon Turtle boasted.

Roar! That guy was tough, but we were stronger. I charged in, took the hits, Thunder Fiery intervened, and with our combined effort, snap snap, we took that guy down.

The Dragon Turtle was quite the orator, embellishing the battle with exaggerations and boasting about its bravery and prowess.

After it finished, the Kun suddenly chirped.

Squeak squeak squeak! So, Thunder Fiery told you to inform me it's done, but you went off to eat first?

Roar! Sorry, I was hungry and forgot. The Dragon Turtle blinked its huge eyes, trying to play it off.

Squeak squeak squeak! Next time Thunder Fiery beats you up, I won't help you.

The Kun swished its tail, splashing water onto the Dragon Turtle's face, then turned its massive body and swam toward the inland sea.

It was going to bring the rest of its family, especially its wife, to share the good stuff that could make mutated creatures grow rapidly.

"Report, Thunder Fiery has killed the crocodile, then entered the pool with the turtle for about ten minutes. They have now resurfaced and are currently feeding. Should we mobilize a response?”

The major pondered for a moment, then replied, "First report the combat data, especially the peak energy levels, any special abilities, and details about the battle."

"Yes, sir." With that, the staff operated the equipment, projecting images of colossal beasts onto the large screen along with data analysis curves.

"The maximum peak of the crocodile’s energy was at the beginning stage of level 8. It had an ability to create a gravity domain with a range of two hundred meters, alongside a laser-type ability. Data classifies it as an ordinary level 8 colossal beast.

"The turtle’s energy peaked at level 7. It demonstrated exceptional resilience to the crocodile’s attacks, indicating defensive abilities. Based on its size and appearance, it’s estimated to be in the middle stage of level 7, and possesses a dragon bloodline.

"Thunder Fiery’s energy peaked at the middle stage of level 8. During the combat, we briefly lost track of it. At that time, the weather was clear, indicating it had moved too quickly for the cameras to detect. It also displayed power and defense even greater than the crocodile’s.

“Thunder Fiery appears to be in the middle stage of level 7, but possesses five major abilities: lightning and fire attributes, along with speed, strength, and defense abilities. When it was last observed twenty days ago, it should have just evolved to level 7, with a maximum energy level at the peak of the same level.

“In conclusion, this appears to be a king beast, and its rapid growth rate makes it an extreme danger. I recommend requesting destruction by orbital weapons.”

"A king beast with five major abilities!" As the major watched the blinking images on the screen, his face turned grave.

A mutated creature possessing traces of a king-level bloodline was evaluated as having king-level potential. Such mutated beasts had an additional powerful ability compared to creatures of the same level, making them almost invincible among peers.

Full king-level mutated creatures were even more terrifying in terms of potential. As long as they didn't die, they could grow into mythical-level colossal beasts comparable to king-level cultivators, moving on to become kings among colossal beasts.

King-level creatures not only possessed terrifying combat power, but also a charm that could make other mutated colossal beasts submit to them. The appearance of one often caused a great stir.

With this in mind, the major took a deep breath. "Recommendation approved. Send the information up immediately while the beast is still on the island."

"Yes, sir."

The staff quickly compiled detailed data on both the battle and the involved mutated creatures, then sent them to the base commander.

Next was to see whether the deployment of orbital weapons would be authorized.
