Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 295: War God Body and the Colossal Beast Runes (II)

Standing on the steps dozens of meters high, the Thunder Beast rose upright, appearing even more formidable. With three pairs of red feathered horns on each side of its head, crowned with golden flames, it looked extremely majestic and domineering.

Compared to the Silver Dragon, the Thunder Beast, surrounded by the others, looked much more like the king of colossal beasts.

Roar! Saixitia and I have been studying in seclusion for a few days, and we've gained some insights into the essence of our power as transcendent creatures. For example, take a look at this.

With a low growl, the Thunder Beast extended its right claw, and instantly, an endless amount of blue electricity gathered together from within its body. Soon, a thirty-meter-long spear formed entirely of thunderbolts appeared in its claws.

Roar! Normally, us transcendent creatures rely on instinct to control our abilities in battle. Although our strength is not weak, it is too crude.

Roar! After my contemplation and research, I discovered that our abilities actually contain certain fundamental principles of the universe, and these principles leave identifiable traces. I call them “runes.” These are complex and varied, each possessing unique and miraculous power.

Roar! For example, I have inscribed a force field constraint rune on the scales of my right claw. This helps me compress and condense power more effectively.

The Thunder Beast waved its right claw, and the thunderbolt spear transformed into a blue beam that shot into the sky, piercing through everything and appearing on the sea surface a thousand meters above.

Boom!

With the power of the compressed thunderbolt, a massive blue ball of light appeared on the sea surface, annihilating and evaporating the water within a hundred-meter radius.

Then the ball exploded, with countless thunderbolts crackling and spreading over several hundred meters of the surface, creating a tsunami dozens of meters high that crashed onto the desolate island.

The power from this unique attack, different from their normal abilities, left the Dragon Turtle, the Kun, and even the Serpent wide-eyed in astonishment.

The Serpent was especially shocked. This immediately led it to think of the golden fiery power contained in the Thunder Beast's claw during their battle. So, that was because of Ao Ba's rune. No wonder it had felt stronger than the surrounding flames and frost at the time, and was also more convenient than its breath attacks.

Roar roar! Thunder Fiery, you're amazing, truly worthy of your reputation.

The Dragon Turtle roared and nodded its head with excitement, its eyes filled with boundless admiration.

Squeak squeak squeak! Thunder Fiery, I want to learn, I want to learn.

The Kun spun, twisting its body wildly, to the point of churning the surrounding water into a murky mess. It became very excited when it saw the blue light; within that light, it saw hope, the hope that it too could unleash powerful energy attacks.

Squeak squeak squeak!

The three mutated orcas didn't understand any of this, but seeing their father so excited, they immediately swam around excitedly, causing the water currents to become even more turbulent.

At that moment, the Serpent nodded its nine heads and hesitantly growled. Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba, can I learn too?

As soon as they heard the Serpent speak, the Dragon Turtle and the Kun subconsciously shrank their necks in fear (figuratively, in the Kun’s case). They felt a bit wary of this colossal beast that had once beaten them up.

The Thunder Beast growled lowly. Roar! Of course you can. We are all members of the Dragon Palace. Although there is a difference in strength and status, we are all family.

Turning to the Kun and Dragon Turtle, the Thunder Beast continued. Roar! And you two, Ghidorah has already joined the Dragon Palace. From now on, we are brothers, so there's no need to be afraid.

During this period, the Thunder Beast had been busy comprehending spatial runes, so it hadn't had time to pay attention to external matters.

Thus, even though the Serpent had joined the Dragon Palace a few days ago, it had still felt somewhat distant from the Kun, Dragon Turtle, and the other mutated orcas... or perhaps these fellows were all somewhat wary of it.

Now that the Thunder Beast had spoken up, however, the Dragon Turtle, who had always looked up to it, was the first to open its mouth. Roar! Ghidorah, we are all brothers.

The Kun, trusting the Thunder Beast without hesitation, looked at the Serpent with a much warmer gaze, its massive fins waving.

Squeak squeak squeak! Brothers, we're all brothers. When the time comes, let's go get some good stuff together.

Roar! Big Horn, are you still saying that? It's been so long, and you still haven't found anything good.

Squeak squeak squeak! I want to as well, but the sea is so vast. It takes a lot of time to find good things, and the only one I’ve found so far is guarded by a very fierce creature.

The truth was, the Kun had discovered several more resources recently, but they were low-level resources for level 6 beasts, which were no longer useful to them. Now the focus was on gathering resources useful for level 8 colossal beasts.

Such resources, however, were naturally scarce. After all, even if natural treasures appeared, they would be quickly consumed by surrounding mutated creatures. Only special ones would have remains or be left behind.

The Thunder Beast continued to roar. Roar! Currently, I have developed three types of runes. Although they only have average power when condensed individually, they become very powerful when stacked together.

Roar! However, this kind of finding consumes a lot of life energy. I need to replenish, so next, you will go out and help me search for energy to bring back. Then, based on the unique aspects of your abilities, I will help each of you specifically study and figure out new runes to make you stronger.

The Serpent nodded its heads excitedly, then roared in confusion. Roar! Roar! Roar! No problem, Ao Ba, but where do we find this energy?

Roar! That's simple. As long as it's a transcendent creature, when they reach the peak of their level, regardless of type or size, crystals containing life energy will condense inside their bodies. So, you need to search for these mutated creatures at the peak of the same level, kill them, and bring back the crystals containing condensed life energy.

With this issue resolved, these creatures faced a new question.

Squeak squeak squeak! Thunder Fiery, what is a level?

Roar! Level is the division among us transcendent creatures...

Next, the Thunder Beast had to explain to these creatures the classification of levels among transcendent beings.

Unlike humans with cultural inheritance, these creatures had primitive thinking and evaluated strength based on size and aura alone. Although they could sense corresponding levels, they lacked a clear idea of the concept.

Among the transcendent creatures of the Dragon Palace, only the Silver Dragon had some cultural knowledge, while the others who had grown up in the wild were essentially uncultured.

To educate them, the Thunder Beast had to roughly simulate the aura strength corresponding to each level, and carved marks on the ice wall to provide a visual understanding.

Roar! This mark, and the aura strength, roughly corresponds to level 1... The Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast stood on the ice platform, its claws drawing out large numbers on the wall.

Roar! This is level 4, where creatures with this strength can already release energy externally... This is level 8.

Roar! Also, when encountering creatures with subtle auras, pay attention to their abilities. Sometimes, it's not just about higher levels, but about knowing how to win. When you fight, don't rush in blindly. Learn to cooperate and observe. For example, creatures with claws tend to attack with them first...

Roar! We need to learn to use our advantages. For instance, Ghidorah is powerful up close in melee combat with its three black heads, while the other heads have abilities like breath attacks, forming a tactical combat formation...

As the Thunder Beast spoke, it thoroughly educated these creatures. Not only did it explain the distinctions in levels, but also how to cooperate in battle, and how to deal with creatures with claws or multiple limbs like octopuses. It also covered how to combine their own abilities to unleash stronger combat prowess.

On the icy crystal steps, the black and red colossal beast roared continuously, while the Dragon Turtle and Kun below nodded their heads in response. Even the Serpent listened with great excitement. It had never imagined that battles could be approached in this way. Its previous strategy of rushing in recklessly now just seemed crude.

Compared to these redneck colossal beasts, the Silver Dragon behind them was slightly more composed. Yet, even its draconic eyes gleamed with newfound understanding. It had never expected the Thunder Beast to possess such knowledge.

How clever of Thunder Fiery. Even though the Dragon was supposed to be the “genius” inheritor of mythical colossal beast heritage.

After roaring for over an hour, the Thunder Beast finally took a breath, exhaling hot golden flames as it growled. Roar! Alright, charge out and bring back Life Crystals.

Roar! Charge! I want to become stronger...

Squeak! Kill! Bring back Life Crystals for Thunder Fiery!

Roar! And for Baxia!

With rolling roars, the excited mutated colossal beasts rushed out of the Dragon Palace in all directions.

After each colossal beast departed, the Thunder Beast returned to the Icestorm Palace to begin teaching the Silver Dragon the basics of the force field constraint rune, as promised previously.

Meanwhile, the surrounding ocean began to boil with activity.

Boom!

At a depth of a hundred meters below the sea surface, a nineteen-meter-long whale shark was swept away by the Kun’s wing-like fins, its scales shattered and blood flowing out.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Seems like you're a late stage level 4, not peak. Useless!

With that, the Kun’s massive body turned and plunged deeper into the sea, leaving behind the bewildered whale shark that had been thinking it was about to die.

Roar, roar! It's not even peak level 5. Useless.

Hundreds of meters beneath the sea, the Dragon Turtle spat out several tons of flesh and blood from its mouth with a look of disdain. Its massive body turned with a rumble and crawled along the seabed.

Having just learned the distinctions of levels, they needed more time to practice before they could accurately discern what constituted peak level at their tier.

A twenty-nine-meter-long, swordfish-shaped mutated creature lay quietly on the seabed, blood gushing like a fountain out of the huge wound under its neck. In its wide-open eyes, filled with fear and confusion in its dying moments, it couldn't understand why it had become useless.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Four adult orcas circled around dozens of mutated fish, ranging from ten to fifteen meters long, constantly attacking and dividing them. After scattering the fish, the orcas swiftly killed the ones they felt were at peak level.

Unlike the Kun and Dragon Turtle, who wreaked havoc in the surrounding oceans, the Serpent headed further into the deep sea, preparing to hunt colossal beasts that were level 7 or higher. As the Thunder Beast had mentioned earlier, the larger the size and higher the level of transcendent beings, the more life energy they contained inside.

It was time to repay Ao Ba for bestowing it with a name.
