Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 834: Heavenly Roar, Are You an Idiot? (I)
Chapter 834: Heavenly Roar, Are You an Idiot? (I)
At the end of a death passage that stretched hundreds of kilometers, paved with the flesh and remains of nearly a million mutated and colossal beasts, stood a monstrous giant, its body sheathed in dense black and red scales.
A hundred kilometers away, atop the vast earth, another ancient colossal beast loomed. This titan stood over two thousand meters tall and extended more than five thousand meters in length.
Its upper body, vaguely humanoid, rose upright, covered in thick violet armor. Its head was savage, and it bore two pairs of scythe-like claws curved like mantis blades. Its lower half was bulbous and massive, supported by eight thick, backward-jointed legs like those of a spider. Its tail resembled that of a wasp, ending in a black stinger hundreds of meters long.
The beast's entire back bristled with purple spikes, jutting out like skeletal wings and resembling antennae. Each one radiated tangible waves of violet energy pulsing outward in all directions, along with an overwhelming aura of danger. These were no ordinary pulses—they were manifestations of a will so powerful that even the Destructive Dragon Emperor felt a jolt of dread.
This destructive violet-armored Ancient Beast King, emanating the aura of an ancient sovereign, wasn’t alone. Two other colossal beasts, both radiating peak titan-level auras, flanked it as guards. One was a serpentine colossal beast, over four thousand meters long. Its body was clad in yellow scales, and from its back stretched a pair of massive feathered wings.
The other was a nine-headed serpent, equally vast, covered in azure scales. Unlike Ghidorah, this nine-headed serpent hadn’t evolved toward a draconic form. Each of its vicious heads retained the appearance of a python, and only a single pair of massive claws adorned its abdomen.
As its nine heads lifted, the beast’s thick hindquarters dragged across the ground. A ridge of fins extended from the base of each head down its back to the tail, adding to its fearsome and savage appearance.
Yet whether it was these two titan-level colossal beasts or the beast king shrouded in soul-wrenching power of will, all of them seemed oddly... lacking. Their presence, though immense, felt strangely hollow to the Dragon Emperor, as if their strength didn’t quite match the auras they emitted—whether peak titan or middle-stage ancient titan.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The serpent beast and the nine-headed azure serpent let out thunderous howls, their roars so violent they shattered the void. Their peak titan auras shook heaven and earth. In that same moment, the Beast King unleashed an even more dreadful will.
Boom!
Immediately, chaos erupted behind the Dragon Emperor as countless colossal beasts went berserk. Tens of thousands of level 9 colossal beasts surged forward, among them more than twenty that radiated mythical-level auras, each roaring madly and charging headlong.
The two titans at the front also charged in fury. The winged serpent flared its wings, whipping up a yellow sandstorm that surged toward the Dragon Emperor.
The azure serpent’s mouths lit up with dazzling light. Then all nine jaws opened wide, and azure beams burst forth in a deafening roar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The breaths, each a hundred meters thick, streaked across the sky. The space around them crumbled, shattered by the sheer force, forming beams wreathed in dark light. The nine beams converged mid-air into one. A single, blinding pillar of azure light, hundreds of meters wide, burst forth and lit up the heavens and earth.
In that instant, the world lost all color. Only that massive beam of condensed azure energy remained, surging forward at impossible speed—though it seemed slow, it actually arrived in front of the Dragon Emperor before any other attack.
The breath attacks of colossal beasts represented the ultimate compression of their internal energy. Though they lacked the amplification of laws, their force was even more extreme and domineering.
From the moment the Dragon Emperor emerged from the sea of colossal beasts, to the Beast King’s roar and the titans' assault, everything had happened in the span of a breath.
Both the Dragon Emperor and the Beast King had known from the very beginning—they were enemies. No words, no pretense. Only the desire to annihilate the other.
Boom!
At the very instant battle erupted, an endless flood of crimson light exploded from the Dragon Emperor. That crimson, emanating an ominous aura of destruction, bathed the entire world. An aura of terror swept across heaven and earth. Within that blazing red light, a monstrous figure emerged, nearly eight thousand meters long.
Boom!
As the Dragon Emperor entered its Dark-Red Form, the land within a hundred kilometers collapsed, and space itself shattered. All things were crushed beneath the weight of the red force of annihilation.
So overwhelming was this power that even the depths of the void trembled with faint, eerie sounds, like chants from countless alien beings offering reverence, or perhaps the resonance of the very laws of heaven and earth, echoing in solemn melody as though welcoming the arrival of destruction itself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the omnipresent red light, all colossal beasts within a hundred kilometers of the Dragon Emperor’s Dark-Red Form exploded into a rain of blood. Even the mythical colossal beasts that had charged ahead, fastest among the pack, disintegrated beneath that ultimate light of destruction—completely and utterly annihilated.
Boom!
The beam of light from the azure serpent spanned over seventy kilometers, crashing into the fifty-kilometer-radius region of dark-red destruction. Blinding light and a violent shockwave erupted on impact.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the dazzling explosion of clashing azure and crimson energies, the beam’s forward momentum steadily slowed, and ultimately, it dissipated ten kilometers short of reaching the dark-red colossal beast. In front of the Dragon Emperor’s Dark-Red Form, even the azure serpent’s full-powered fusion strike failed to come close.
Although the suppression of principles prevented the external projection of law domains, that didn’t mean the colossal beasts couldn’t use their innate abilities. The only reason the Dragon Emperor had delayed entering its Dark-Red Form earlier was to avoid scaring off the Beast King by displaying too much power at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surrounding void began to tremble and rupture. The invisible principles suppressing the Dragon Emperor shattered under the fused power of nine high-level laws, condensed into dark-red destruction.
Roar!
A savage roar that seemed to have come from the ancient times echoed, shaking heaven and earth. In an instant, red light blazed, and a massive crimson claw, large enough to blot out the sky, came crashing down above the winged serpent.
The space across several dozen kilometers fractured beneath the red glow, and the laws of heaven and earth collapsed. There was no resisting it, no stopping it.
Boom!
The colossal serpent, four thousand meters long, didn’t even have time to scream before its body exploded into a storm of blood and flesh, its remains corroded and vaporized by the red light of destruction. The strike didn’t end there, its momentum continuing down toward the ground.
Boom!
In an instant, the earth within a thousand-kilometer radius trembled violently. Over two hundred kilometers of terrain collapsed and split open. From below, countless crimson beams of light erupted like volcanic eruptions, blasting rock and soil high into the air.
Rocks the size of buildings, dozens to even hundreds of meters across, were launched like artillery, blanketing a thousand-kilometer radius and crushing countless transcendent colossal beasts on impact.
Even the azure serpent, several dozen kilometers away, was swept up by the aftermath. Its heads let out enraged howls as it was flung through the air. The moment the Dragon Emperor’s claw descended, the Beast King launched into the sky, leaving behind flickering afterimages.
Boom!
The ground over four hundred kilometers away exploded as the Beast King landed. A mountain range over a hundred kilometers long crumbled instantly, and several towering peaks thousands of meters tall were hurled into the sky.
An earth-shaking roar of fury rang out across the heavens. The azure serpent, flung over a hundred thousand meters into the air amid the shockwave and debris, let out a thunderous bellow. Azure lightning burst forth from its massive body.
Now that the Dragon Emperor had shattered the suppressive principles enveloping this realm, the guardian colossal beasts were free to use their power of laws and abilities.
In that instant, high-level azure thunderbolts spread across a hundred kilometers, forming a lightning domain saturated with laws of Sharpness, Crushing, Paralysis, and Destruction. At the heart of this law-bound domain, the serpent’s heads opened wide again, glowing with brilliant azure light.
This time, instead of breath attacks, they unleashed nine jagged bolts of pure azure lightning. Each bolt radiated an ominous aura, surging out irregularly across more than a hundred kilometers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nine bolts of peak-titan-level azure lightning struck the dark-red colossal beast. Dazzling shockwaves exploded on impact, forming azure halos. Everything they touched disintegrated into nothingness.
Yet, despite the sheer force behind this near-ancient-titan-level assault, it failed to even scratch the dark-red colossal beast. The heavy crimson scales covering its body ignored the attack completely.
Boom!
In the next moment, a tail blade wrapped in crimson lightning slashed through the void, tearing it open and creating a black-and-red screen that split the sky in two. Caught in that arc was the azure serpent’s massive four-thousand-meter-long body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The serpent’s body was cleaved in half, bisected from the center. Its flesh, bones, and scales exploded in a rain of blood and debris.
Though these two colossal beasts had appeared to be at the peak of the titan level, in truth, they were hollow shells. Their internal energy and concentration of law particles were far too low.
These so-called “biological weapons” lacked the life force, law origins, and regenerative power of a true titan-level colossal beast. They couldn’t restore themselves or revive their flesh and blood in an instant, which was why the Dragon Emperor had destroyed them so effortlessly.
While the Dragon Emperor slaughtered the two peak titans in a flash of unstoppable speed, the Beast King’s eyes lit with a scorching glow in the distance.
Boom!
Its soul will rippled through time and space, sending streaks of violet light cascading outward in all directions around the Dragon Emperor in a range of several hundred kilometers. At every point where the light beams intersected, violet light flickered ominously and twisted the fabric of space.
In the blink of an eye, over a million colossal beasts appeared, ranging from twenty meters to over a hundred meters in size. Their upper bodies resembled giant ants, while their lower halves were like spiders.
These colossal beasts had round, bulging abdomens like semi-transparent rubies, filled with swirling red liquid that radiated dazzling light, then suddenly exploded.
As a million explosive-type colossal beasts detonated, they released a light beyond description, like a supernova erupting. The combined force of the blast shattered the sky and tore the earth apart, engulfing thousands of kilometers in destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth collapsed under a red shockwave expanding at hundreds of times the speed of sound. The remaining vegetation disintegrated into ash. The surface melted instantly into searing lava and was hurled into the sky. One by one, transcendent colossal beasts were torn apart.
Roar!
Over seven hundred kilometers away, the Silver Colossal Dragon, Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, and Single-Horned Kunpeng let out startled roars. They unleashed all of the energy in their bodies, forming energy shields hundreds of meters thick, only to be instantly consumed.
Even the force of the overlapping explosion pierced through the veil of destructive crimson light surrounding the dark-red colossal beast at the center, violently crashing against the scales on its body. Yet even this failed to shake the Dragon Emperor's defense, magnified to the extreme.
With both physical and ability resistance enhanced to their limits, attacks of the same level couldn't even scratch the Dragon Emperor. It could have stood still and let those “ordinary” ancient titans attack; it wouldn't have mattered.
However, at the exact moment when the million colossal beasts exploded and pierced the ring of red destruction around the Dragon Emperor, an unimaginably powerful soul will descended.
Boom!
Struck by this soul-based assault, the Dragon Emperor's consciousness trembled as it was dragged into a pitch-black void—the soul void, where a massive phantom of a colossal beast over ten thousand meters long slowly emerged.
However, unlike the Beast King's physical form, its soul form appeared as a massive octopus-shaped purple beast, surrounded by nine glowing violet rings. They pulsed with tremendous soul fluctuations, reminiscent of Chen Chu’s soul-based abilities. Even just their faint glow made the Dragon Emperor's soul feel slightly uneasy.
However, despite the Beast King’s soul will nearly condensing into tangible form, the Dragon Emperor's soul was no less powerful. Although only three thousand meters in size, it had condensed to near-solid form, blazing with white flames. Those were a gift from the Azure-White Colossal Dragon—a law-level divine object. It had enhanced the Dragon Emperor's soul and granted it a passive skill, the Soul Flame.
Yet the Beast King didn’t consider this fire a threat. Though its physical form was no match for the black-and-red giant before it, the Beast King was confident in its invincibility when it came to the soul.
