Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 386: Sky-Scorching Golden Flames, Celestial Sun (I)

"Bro, it worked! I really got my ability!"

Inside the room, Chen Hu excitedly swung his massive fists, each as large as a pot. The overwhelming force behind each punch compressed the air, causing it to explode with a deep, resonating boom.

After Chen Hu’s excitement had mostly subsided, Chen Chu smiled and said, "Though your awakened ability is physical in nature, it has potential that rivals that of a true Innate Awakener. Let’s call it the Tyrant Body.

"But Ah Hu, keep your ability a secret for now. Don’t mention it to anyone until a couple of years have passed.

"Since I forced the awakening, your ability’s potential only matches that of a lower-tier Awakener; it hasn’t yet reached the level of a true Innate Awakener. It still needs time to grow. So, keep a low profile from now on, and don’t draw attention. Understand?"

As Chen Chu continued to break through realms, his displayed abilities grew stronger, drawing not only the attention of the Federation’s upper echelons, but also the watchful eyes of alien races and the demon cults.

Although he had previously taken measures to protect Yan Ruoyi and obscure his identity, those efforts were superficial at best. For cultivators, identifying someone was simple—through their weapons and martial arts, both of which were impossible to conceal during life-or-death combat.

Therefore, Chen Chu had only altered a few facial details to blur the demon cult’s vision slightly.

Chen Hu grinned and said, "Bro, I understand why you need to hide your wealth. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

Nearby, Zhang Xiaolan couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

Her eldest son possessed a monstrous cultivation talent, renowned throughout the nation, and now, with his help, her second son had awakened his ability ahead of time. It even seemed to be some powerful innate ability.

She suddenly felt that she had no more regrets in life.

"Alright, Ah Hu, keep practicing downstairs and be careful not to tear down the house."

With that, Chen Chu turned to Zhang Xiaolan and said, "Mom, I’m going upstairs to cultivate. You should rest early."

"Okay, go ahead, Ah Chu."

After handling Chen Hu’s situation, Chen Chu returned to his room upstairs and sat cross-legged to wait.

About two hours later, the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor had finally devoured the entire colossal Stardust Beast, intentionally leaving behind only its massive skeleton.

In the world construction route that Yan Ruoyi had helped him deduce, four illusory attribute worlds needed to integrate a large amount of the essence of heaven and earth to evolve and solidify.

Ultimately, they would reach the point where illusion became reality, and the worlds merged into one, strong enough to support the opening of new realms. What could be more suitable for refining these illusory worlds with than the bones and scales of a level 9 colossal beast?

However, infusing the essence of heaven and earth into the illusory worlds would only be possible after reaching the Eighth Heavenly Realm, so that task was still far off.

After consuming the Stardust Beast’s body and absorbing its vast biological energy, the Thunder Emperor’s body grew from 143 meters to 150.

Each time it broke through a new level, the Thunder Emperor’s body experienced a period of rapid growth due to the heightened activity of its cells and the revival of its genes. As a result, this colossal beast’s flesh allowed it to grow seven meters in one go, making its figure even more imposing.

However, once it reached the later stages of level 9, this growth would slow down. Every additional meter would require more biological energy, with most of that energy being stored as evolution points.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery is still such a freak; it grows as soon as it eats.

Roar, roar! Yeah, Baxia is so envious; I wish I could grow just by eating.

In the distance, the Single-Horned Kun, Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, Silver Colossal Dragon, and Nine-Headed Serpent watched the Thunder Emperor’s massive form with envy in their eyes.

Although they had long grown accustomed to the Thunder Emperor’s rapid growth after eating, they couldn’t help but feel envious and yearn for the same ability, even though it was simply too abnormal to be common.

The Silver Dragon was especially jealous; when it had first met the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast, the latter had been smaller than it, but now, the Thunder Emperor was half a size bigger.

Overall, the 150-meter Thunder Emperor was already the largest colossal beast in the Dragon Palace. While the Serpent was over 180 meters long, its thin body lacked the Thunder Emperor’s overwhelming presence.

After filling itself up, it was time to get down to business. The Thunder Emperor turned around. Roar! I’m going to 'cultivate' for a bit. Once I break through, we’ll go cause some trouble.

Roar! Saixitia, Ghidorah, I’ll need you to handle the palace repairs. Any issues with that?

Roar, roar, roar! No problem! I'm super awesome now, incredibly powerful.

Despite its previous grievances about the palace being destroyed, the Serpent was still full of enthusiasm when the Thunder Emperor asked it for help.

...Roar! Alright, fine. Seeing how Ghidorah had eagerly agreed, the Silver Dragon could only reluctantly nod.

The Thunder Emperor turned to the Kun. Roar! Big Horn, how many slashing runes have you condensed?

Squeak, squeak, squeak! I’ve already condensed fifty-seven.

The Kun proudly spread its fin-like wings, their edges gleaming with black-gold light as they radiated an aura of sharpness and durability. During the last battle, it had tasted the effectiveness of combining slashing runes with its domain; since then, it had been diligently cultivating whenever it had time.

Roar! Not bad.

The Thunder Emperor nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the Dragon Turtle. Roar! Baxia, what about you?

In response, the Dragon Turtle’s fierce dragon face showed a hint of embarrassment as it let out a low roar. Roar, roar! My learning ability isn’t great; I’ve only condensed twenty-nine conversion runes.

Boom!

As soon as the Dragon Turtle finished speaking, its massive mountain-like body, eighty-nine meters long and over fifty meters tall, swept across the sea, causing a white wave of energy to explode with the sound of thunder as it crashed into the water a thousand meters away.

The distant sea surface erupted as if struck by a nuclear explosion, sending towering sprays of seawater and mist hundreds of meters into the sky, followed by a tsunami over ten meters high.

It took over ten minutes for the waves to calm down. Then, the sea surged, and with a thunderous crash, the Dragon Turtle’s colossal form burst back into view.

Seawater cascaded like a waterfall off its thick, black-brown shell, which bore a massive, slowly healing claw mark over two meters deep, with cracks radiating outward.

The sight made all of the other colossal beasts instinctively shrink back. The Thunder Emperor was too savage at level 9; no beast could withstand even a casual swipe from it.

On the icy ground by the shore, the black-and-red colossal beast stood on its hind legs, its golden vertical pupils cold and filled with immense pressure as it emitted a deep, rumbling growl of anger.

Roar! Have you grown complacent lately? Have you forgotten the brutality among mutated creatures? For us beasts, there’s no telling whether the next opponent we encounter will be strong or weak. Every battle is a fight to the death.

Roar! Your innate defensive ability is strong, and with your shockwave power, no beast can get close. But you still have a glaring weakness—your speed is slow, and you lack powerful long-range attack methods.

Roar! If you ever encounter a flying enemy, or one with powerful long-range attacks and agility, you’ll be worn down until you’re dead. Do you want to end up like that skeleton over there, with your flesh devoured?

The Dragon Turtle roared loudly in response. Roar, roar! I don't want that.

Roar! If you don’t want that, then work hard and cultivate. Don’t underestimate those energy conversion runes; a single one may be weak, but when you condense hundreds or thousands of them, their combined power will be terrifying. Understand?

It was at this point that the Dragon Turtle realized the Thunder Emperor was actually looking out for it. With gratitude in its eyes, it roared loudly. Roar! I understand! I’ll work hard and cultivate.

That’s more like it.

The Thunder Emperor nodded slowly. Roar! From today, you’re in seclusion. Don’t come out until you’ve condensed a hundred conversion runes.

Suddenly, the Dragon Turtle’s eyes widened in panic. Roar! Thunder Fiery, aren’t we about to go cause some trouble?

The Thunder Emperor growled lowly. Roar! You’re not coming this time.

With that, it grabbed the Life Crystals behind it in one claw and vanished from sight in an instant, leaving only the sound of sonic booms and a white wave of energy that roared for thousands of meters.

Watching the Thunder Emperor’s figure disappear into the volcano’s crater, the Kun felt relieved. Fortunately, it had heeded its wife’s advice and worked hard to cultivate; otherwise, it might have been beaten by Thunder Fiery just now.

With that thought, the Kun looked at the female orca beside it and communicated in their unique language. Squeak, squeak, squeak! Honey, thank goodness for you.

The female orca gave it a gentle look and nodded slightly. Squeak, squeak, squeak! Keep working hard and try to condense two hundred slashing runes soon.

The Kun’s eyes immediately widened.

In the distance, the Serpent was already hard at work. Its nine heads let out chaotic roars. Roar, roar, roar! Ao Ba, after we finish repairing the palace, I will also cultivate and work hard.

The Silver Dragon gracefully spread its wings, lifted its chin, and looked at the Dragon Turtle, whose expression was conflicted. Roar! I’ve been telling you to cultivate seriously. Now you see how important it is, don’t you?

Roar! When I come out, I’ll take on ten at once.

Knowing there was no way to change the Thunder Emperor’s decision, the Dragon Turtle let out a roar before diving into the sea below with a splash, preparing to go into seclusion and cultivate diligently.
