Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast - Chapter 294: War God Body and the Colossal Beast Runes (I)

Chapter 294: War God Body and the Colossal Beast Runes (I)

On the morning of the Dongdu concert, Chen Chu used the last Blue Crystal in his room. With a crisp sound, it turned into powder and dispersed from his hand.

Whoosh!

Gusts of wind swirled around Chen Chu, and his black hair fluttered. A terrifying aura that could barely be contained emanated from within him as the dragon elephant roared.

With the energy from the twelve Blue Crystals absorbed and refined, Chen Chu’s cultivation finally broke through to the middle stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm. The flame of his true power became even more domineering, and the power of his combat skills increased.

However, he wasn’t overly concerned about this breakthrough, since he had been on the verge of it for some time. His real gain during this period had been the development of his secret scripture.

Inspired by Yan Ruoyi’s words on the plane, Chen Chu had devoted his attention to restructuring the secret scripture when not cultivating. Combined with him also prioritizing the comprehension of the innate spatial rune, it had gradually led to the preliminary outline of the War God Body.

“War God Body” was the name Chen Chu had given his secret scripture, drawing inspiration from the mythological figures that possessed characteristics of three heads and six arms or the ability to grow to an immense size[1].

In the seventh stage of the scripture he had been developing these past few days, he had abandoned the initial idea of centering it around the Divine Might Dragon Elephant rune. Instead, he planned to focus on Thunder Fiery’s abilities, using the Divine Might Dragon Elephant as a secondary aspect.

The War God Body he intended to condense would still possess the power of the Divine Might Dragon Elephant, enhancing his Battle Body’s power while also serving as a disguise.

After all, his previous main cultivation methods had been the Dragon Elephant Art and the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body, and the secret scripture he had comprehended was the Divine Might Dragon Elephant.

In fact, due to the Tyrant Body art and the true martial runes, creating a core around the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture would have been simpler. However, Chen Chu felt it wasn’t strong enough.

The Divine Might Dragon Elephant was a mythical-level colossal beast. However, the person who had created the secret scripture back then had only comprehended a part of the “divine might” of this Dragon Elephant, which left the scripture incomplete.

In this situation, it naturally couldn’t be compared to the six abilities the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast had mastered. Although Thunder Fiery was currently only at level 8, it already possessed seven abilities equivalent to divine ones. Among these, two were top-level, one was high-level, and two were middle-level.

Furthermore, as the Thunder Beast’s level increased, the power of its abilities would also gradually grow. When it reached the peak of level 9 and broke through to the mythical level, each ability would condense the corresponding power of their laws.

This was even without changing the level of the abilities. The higher the ability’s level, the more effectively the rune could condense greater power. Moreover, the power of the law during the breakthrough to the king level would also be stronger.

In order for the Thunder Beast to become invincible after reaching the mythical level, Chen Chu was preparing to enhance its abilities, including its soul ability. The attribute points needed for this would naturally come from mutated colossal beasts; the ocean was vast, with a seemingly endless number of them.

However, Life Crystals were only found in the bodies of mutated creatures that had reached the peak of their current level. The Thunder Beast hadn’t deliberately sought them out due to how time-consuming and labor-intensive that was.

Just like human cultivators, mutated creatures were not able to discern their opponent’s exact level without them showing their explosive power during battle.

This had been the case when the Silver Colossal Dragon had first encountered the Nine-headed Serpent; while the Serpent had emitted a strong level 8 aura in its sleep, the Silver Dragon couldn’t know exactly how strong it was without it going into its explosive state.

Moreover, even if collected, it would be very difficult to deliver the crystals to the main body. These combined issues were why the Thunder Beast hadn’t had much success getting crystals recently. When it found the occasional one, it would immediately consume it to convert it into evolution points.

But now, the issue of resource inaccessibility between the main body and the colossal beast had been resolved. Feeling the invisible “passage” between the main body and the colossal beast, Chen Chu smiled.

Due to the soul connection, there had always been a passage between Chen Chu and the colossal beast, but this passage formed by soul power could previously only transfer evolutionary energy. Every time the colossal beast’s body grew stronger, a portion of that energy would flow into Chen Chu’s body to enhance it.

With Chen Chu’s deepening understanding of spatial concepts recently, he could finally clearly sense the existence of the passage within him.

As long as he could figure out how to use that passage as a base point to construct a spatial teleportation passage within his body, he would be able to achieve resource circulation between the main body and the colossal beast, freely and effortlessly transferring resources back and forth.

This issue took precedence over even the main body’s construction of the true martial art secret scripture and the avatar’s full-body rune inscription.

Under the deep sea, cracks suddenly appeared on the walls of the ice palace. Then, with a loud explosion, the wall shattered, revealing a massive black and red claw, as a similarly massive black and red colossal beast emerged. Standing on the palace steps, it suddenly raised its head and let out a roar.

Roar!

The deep roar echoed across the seabed, resonating over ten kilometers through the water and causing countless marine creatures to tremble under the extreme ferocity of the draconic power.

In the distant Dragon King Palace, the Nine-headed Serpent opened its eyes.

On the edge of a desolate island, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle sunbathing in the shallows suddenly got up.

Additionally, on the other side of the island, the Single-horned Kun, which had returned after being away for several days, and the three mutated orcas, which had grown to twenty to forty meters long, also began to move.

Soon, water churned as the hundred-meter-long Serpent appeared. Its massive body coiled on the seabed as it looked at the Thunder Beast in confusion, with its nine heads roaring in chaos.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba, why did you call me?

The Thunder Beast growled. Roar! There is something I need to discuss. Let’s wait until Big Horn and the others arrive.

Soon, the Dragon Turtle, measuring sixty meters in length and standing over forty meters tall, emerged. Each of its heavy steps caused the seabed to quake and the ground to shatter.

Because of its heavy shell, the Dragon Turtle weighed over ten thousand tons—an impressive number, even if its body wasn’t as dense as the Thunder Beast’s.

Next, the Single-horned Kun, who was equally massive, also arrived with the mutated orcas. They all looked at the Thunder Beast, and then behind it.

The Silver Colossal Dragon lay weakly on the ground inside the ice palace. Seeing this left the Kun and the other colossal beasts slightly stunned.

What’s going on? What have you been doing in the palace these past few days? What happened to Dragon King Saixitia?

Apart from the Serpent, the eyes of the Kun, Dragon Turtle, and female orca were filled with curiosity. Without any idea of what was happening, the Silver Dragon was also puzzled about what the Thunder Beast was planning. Why did it suddenly summon the entire Dragon Palace?
