Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 474: Guarding the World Passage, Explosive Size Increase (II)
Chapter 474: Guarding the World Passage, Explosive Size Increase (II)
Boom!
As the Dragon Emperor descended with the Bladed Colossal Beast in its clutches, the sea exploded beneath it, sending water soaring hundreds of meters into the air. The waves turned into a torrential downpour that covered a thousand-meter radius.
Surrounded by the power of its domain, the Dragon Emperor did not sink into the sea. Instead, it stood firmly on the surface of the water.
The Single-Horned Kun approached, its body marred with blood that the seawater could not wash away.
Thunder Fiery, I took down four of them! Four! I also heavily injured two more.
This battle marked the Single-Horned Kun's first significant display of strength. While it had never been weak against opponents of its level, killing them had always been a challenge.
It used to lack decisive killing methods.
Now, the Single-Horned Kun had managed to slay four late-stage level 8 beasts in a short period and heavily injured two others, all of which had a powerful bloodline.
Soon, the surface of the sea rose. The water then exploded as Deep Sea Dragon Turtle came up. Seeing the smug Single-Horned Kun nearby, the Dragon Turtle couldn't help but feel displeased.
You’re so shameless, Big Horn! Without me blocking the attacks for you and Horn Hime helping you, you would have been bitten to death long ago!
In the face of several colossal beasts attacking simultaneously, the Single-Horned Kun could still have killed them all. However, under normal circumstances, it would have ended up gravely injured. After all, it was not the Dragon Emperor.
The Single-Horned Kun shrugged it off and proudly waved its fins.
Although I had your help, I was the one who killed them all! Also, when the quasi-mythical colossal beast appeared, I saw you directly hidden in the deep sea, Baxia!
A look of disdain flashed in the Single-Horned Kun’s eyes.
The Dragon Turtle stretched its neck and let out a defiant roar. You also rushed into the whirlpool to hide back then!
While the two colossal beasts were arguing, a female orca with black and white scales slowly emerged from behind the Single-Horned Kun.
Horn Hime first cast a gentle glance at the Single-Horned Kun, then respectfully bowed her head to the Dragon Emperor. Your Majesty, we have slain all the enemies.
The Thunder Emperor roared in reply. You all did well this time. Big Horn, Baxia, you made the right choice hiding from a powerful enemy. There's no need to feel embarrassed.
When the Bladed Colossal Beast appeared, it wasn’t just the Single-Horned Kun and the two level 8 colossal beasts that fled; even the Nine-Headed Serpent and the Silver Colossal Dragon also retreated to avoid its sharp blades.
This wasn’t a matter of courage; the power disparity between the two sides was simply too great. Charging in at that moment would have meant death.
Even the Silver Colossal Dragon, who was at the beginning stage of level 9, wouldn’t dare claim that it could withstand a strike from the Bladed Colossal Beast.
If it had charged toward it, it would have had to use the scale of law to defend itself. Given the power of the bladed beast, it might have needed two scales to survive.
Just then, the unscathed Nine-Headed Serpent approached, two of its black dragon heads biting down on the corpse of a level 9 colossal beast.
Looking at the Thunder Emperor, its seven dragon heads twisted and let out excited, chaotic roars. Ghidorah, awesome! Took down an opponent of the same level unscathed!
The Thunder Emperor nodded in satisfaction. Good job! Teaching you the durability runes was the right choice after all.

Compared to the past, when it would lose three or four heads while killing beasts of the same level, the Nine-Headed Serpent performed even better this time, managing to kill a level 9 beast without injuries.
Three young orcas then leaped out of the water, with the youngest dragging the body of a middle-stage level 8 beast that was over seventy meters long but had lost its rear half.
Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! We were also super awesome!
Yes, we also took down a level 8 beast!
I was the best; I bit off half its head!
From the jagged wound on its back, it was evident that Horn Hime was responsible for it. The numerous large gashes all over it made it clear that the little ones had taken advantage of their parents’ achievements.
Good work, the Thunder Emperor acknowledged with a nod. At the very least, they dared to charge at the level 8 beasts, though only seriously injured ones.
Under normal circumstances, only the third one, who was close to peak level 7 with abilities comparable to Horn Hime, could have managed to withstand any attack for a while.
Thrilled by the Thunder Emperor's praise, the three little orcas rolled joyfully in the water.
The Thunder Emperor waited a few more minutes before the distant sea surface erupted, revealing a Blue Giant Crab clutching the corpse of a middle-stage level 8 beast in its pincers.
The Blue Giant Crab was in a miserable state.
It had lost three legs in this battle, and its sharp, thick shell had caved in at many places. Its eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating how brutal the previous battle had been.
The crab approached the Thunder Emperor, raising the corpse of a colossal beast slightly larger than itself and excitedly blowing bubbles.
Gurgle! Your Majesty, I also took one down!
The Dragon Emperor nodded and growled. Not bad, General Crab! You performed amazingly well this time. Keep up the good work.
The crab filled up with excitement. I will definitely not embarrass you, Your Majesty. Next time, I will take down ten and cut off their tails!
With the battle over, it was time to divide the spoils.
The Thunder Emperor flicked its tail slightly, pulling the upper half of the Bladed Colossal Beast corpse hanging behind it to the front. With its fierce claws, it tore open the chest, causing blood rich with incredible energy to flow out.
Soon, it carefully extracted a basin-sized Life Crystal. It was emitting pure golden light.
Compared to the massive dragon claws of the Thunder Emperor, the half-meter-diameter crystal looked like a small stone. However, it exuded an astonishing wave of life energy.
Even the red colossal beast felt an instinctive urge to devour it.
This level 9 peak Life Crystal contained life energy exceeding that of level 8, and it had great quality.
The energy within it was capable of synergizing with ancient auras, which helped colossal beasts evolve into mythical beasts.
Unfortunately, the attribute points transformed by Chen Chu only considered the quantity of life energy and ignored its quality.
The Thunder Emperor roared. The blood and flesh of the three level 9 colossal beasts, those mutilated level 8 colossal beasts, and half the corpse of the peak level 9 colossal beast belong to me. The remaining half will be evenly distributed according to contribution to the battle. Any objections?
The Silver Colossal Dragon roared. None! You contributed the most this time. Hence, you should naturally receive the majority of the spoils, followed by Zhulong.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! No objections.
The division of spoils proposed by the Dragon Emperor was unanimously accepted. They felt they had hit the jackpot, considering it was the blood and flesh of quasi-mythical and king-level beings.
Due to the tempering of the laws, the blood and flesh of these colossal beasts contained stronger life factors, enabling the Single-Horned Kun and Dragon Turtle—both level 8 colossal beasts—to achieve extraordinary growth.
Even Zhulong, a late-stage level 9 beast, would benefit to some extent.
The Silver Colossal Dragon and the Nine-Headed Serpent, both of whom had achieved king-level bloodlines, would also receive a notable enhancement roughly equivalent to consuming a god-level resource.
Before the intense gazes of the colossal beasts, the Thunder Emperor divided the remaining flesh of the Bladed Colossal Beast into ten portions.
Zhulong received the largest share, followed by the Nine-Headed Serpent, the Silver Colossal Dragon, and then the Single-Horned Kun and Dragon Turtle. Horn Hime and the Blue Giant Crab received slightly less than the last two.
Lastly, the three little orcas each received a small piece, which weighed several tons.
At a depth of ten thousand meters, in the center of a waterless vortex with a diameter of several hundred meters, the Thunder Emperor focused its gaze on the red whirlpool, pondering slightly.
Communications were severed when it killed the Bladed Colossal Beast. The mythical colossal beast should still be unaware of what had happened here.
Nevertheless, the Thunder Emperor did not plan to head there just yet.
With its current combat power, it could only clash head-on with ordinary mythical colossal beasts. Defeating or even killing the Black Abyss King would still pose some difficulty.
However, once it had consumed the flesh of these level 9 colossal beasts, its size and strength would significantly increase.
In addition to that, it also had the level 9 Life Crystal. Along with the resources and Life Crystals mobilized by King Xie Chen, all its resources should be enough to enhance a top-level ability to its peak, possibly even more.
Further enhancing a top-level ability would likely equate to mastery of the laws or powers comparable to them.
Only at that point could it truly be considered to have entered the mythical-level combat power, capable of rivaling those of mythical colossal beasts without relying on its Gigantification’s explosive but temporary growth.
It had another concern, however. If the Thunder Emperor didn’t enhance its abilities in time, the Black Abyss King could make the first move and descend to kill it.
With that in mind, it turned to the Silver Colossal Dragon lying on the ground, happily devouring the flesh of the peak colossal beast.
Saixitia, we will guard this place for a while. If that mythical colossal beast appears, I will unleash explosive power to drive it back, but if I can’t hold it off, you will use the scale of law.
The Silver Colossal Dragon proudly raised its head.
Got it, Ao Tian! I will make it feel the wrath of a colossal dragon. That bastard’s subordinate actually dared to make the great Saixitia submit to it—it's simply seeking death. If my mother was here, I would have called her to kill it already.
Watching the still somewhat agitated Silver Colossal Dragon, the Thunder Emperor paused. The Sword Dragon hadn’t mentioned anything about making the Silver Colossal Dragon submit, had it?
Never mind; it's too confusing to understand its thought process.
The Thunder Emperor shook its head. It then grabbed the carcass of the Blue Octopus Colossal Beast and devoured it. Each bite tore away thousands of tons of flesh.
Next to it was a pile of several level 9 and seven mutilated level 8 colossal beast corpses. A trickle of blood pooled on the ground from it, emitting strong energy fluctuations.
As it devoured the flesh of the level 9 colossal beasts, the abundant biological energy caused the Thunder Emperor's size to grow at a visible rate.
208 meters, 210 meters, 215 meters...
