Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 839: Go Have a Child with Ao Tian Yourself (I)

Seeing the Purple Sphere’s confused look, the black-and-red colossal beast let out a low, rumbling growl. The Dragon Palace is different from the usual colossal beast empires. It has multiple kings. The strongest among them is at the ancient titan level, while the weakest two are currently only at the quasi-mythical level.

What? Even quasi-mythical beings can become kings? Purple Sphere's eyes widened in disbelief, even more shocked than when it heard that the Silver Colossal Dragon was the Great Dragon King.

The Destructive Dragon Emperor growled, Don’t be surprised. In the Dragon Palace, kings aren’t chosen based on strength, but on their contributions. For example, even though Big Horn is only in the middle stage of the mythical level, it was one of the eight founding members of the Dragon Palace. It possesses a rare treasure-hunting ability, and it has found countless natural treasures, greatly accelerating our growth. Its contributions have been enormous.

You’ve just joined the Dragon Palace, but if you make enough contributions in the future, you also have a chance to be granted the title of a king and gain the right to join the discussions in the Dragon King Palace. If I come to fully trust you, I might even lift your soul seal.

As the Dragon Emperor finished speaking, the Silver Dragon beside him let out a thunderous roar and nodded. That’s right. As long as you do your job well, the great Saixitia and Ao Tian will not treat you unfairly.

Purple Sphere was instantly stirred with excitement. Rest assured, King Thunder Fiery! I will work hard to build an army of mythical colossal beasts and help the Dragon Palace conquer the world!

Seeing that even quasi-mythical colossal beasts could be granted the title of a king, the Purple Sphere trusted the Dragon Emperor’s words. As long as it kept working hard, it wouldn't be long before it could become a king too, and finally break free from the control placed upon it.

The Dragon Emperor nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at the Purple Sphere. Right, I almost forgot to ask. What’s your name?

My name is Toryad, my lord. the Purple Sphere answered with great respect, quickly slipping into the role of a loyal subordinate.

The Dragon Emperor nodded. Toryad, how many high-level abilities do you possess? What are your skills? And how do you usually control so many colossal beasts?

The Dragon Emperor was quite curious about the Beast King of Destruction’s specific talents and skills. In all its time on the path of evolution, this was the first time it had encountered a colossal beast with such powerful abilities; not only commanding over ten million others in battle, but also having strength that surpassed its own level.

The Purple Sphere waved the half-grown tentacles around it and respectfully replied, I possess three high-level laws: Soul Touch, Life Absorption, and Biological Parasite. I was born with a powerful soul, and with the amplification of the laws of the soul, my soul-based attacks are even stronger. Even if ambushed by a beginning-stage ancient colossal beast, I can still suppress or kill it.

My control over other colossal beasts comes from shattering their soul will. Then, using my soul-based abilities, I take over and turn them into puppets, extensions of my own will. However, because their soul wills are destroyed, these puppets’ life stages can no longer evolve, even if I use the laws of life to force their bodies to evolve to a higher tier. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Life Absorption belongs to one of the supreme laws of life. It allows me to absorb and transfer the life force of other colossal beasts, and even direct their evolution along specific paths. For example, heavy-armored war elephants as frontline units, winged serpents for aerial ranged attacks, and explosive beasts that self-destruct at close range to take enemies with them. In addition, with my life-based talent, I can generate a life force field. The more colossal beast puppets I control, the stronger the principles of life get.

Biological Parasite is a parasitic ability. It allows me to take over the body of a powerful colossal beast and use it as an external shell. Due to the structure of my own lifeform, I’m quite weak in close combat without a host. My attacks are mainly soul-based and rely on these soul tentacles to strike.

Just as I expected, the Dragon Emperor thought, giving a satisfied nod at the explanation. During the earlier battle, it had already sensed that the Purple Sphere likely had some flaws in its abilities. For instance, once the colossal beast puppets had their life force absorbed, they became "hollow", left with only a single ability, robotic movements, and no autonomy.

Of course, under normal circumstances, these flaws wouldn’t really count as flaws. Other than ancient titan colossal beasts, titan and mythical colossal beasts would be directly suppressed by life principles and become overwhelmed by the millions of colossal beasts.

Besides, the Purple Sphere had terrifying abilities. In terms of life stage, it was already approaching the emperor level, and with three top-tier innate abilities, its overall power could rival a middle-stage ancient beast. Unfortunately, it encountered the Dragon Emperor, who was two minor levels lower, but had combat power that overwhelmed it in many ways.

The Dragon Emperor let out a low growl. Toryad, from now on, stop wasting energy on controlling transcendent colossal beasts. Once you reach the higher levels, transcendent beasts are completely useless.

Yes, King Thunder Fiery. Purple Sphere blinked respectfully. In the past, it believed that quantity equaled power; the more colossal beasts it controlled, the stronger the suppression from the life principles would be.

However, after encountering the Dragon Emperor today, it finally realized that level 9 or ordinary mythical colossal beasts were useless when facing a powerful ancient colossal beast. Rather than wasting life force to maintain those beast puppets, it would be far more effective to focus on controlling mythical and titan-level colossal beasts, and develop them into specialized elite units.

With the discussion finished, the Dragon Emperor returned to eating. The colossal beast parasitized by the Purple Sphere had already been half-eaten. The remaining half, which was over three thousand meters long and more than four hundred meters tall, was like a mountain of flesh piled on the ground.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The corpse’s scales shattered and its flesh was torn apart by the Dragon Emperor’s monstrous bite force, releasing violent waves of energy. As the Dragon Emperor continued feeding, the Silver Dragon and Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon spread their wings and took off, landing several dozen kilometers away on a massive rock jutting thousands of meters into the sky.

The previous battle had drained both beasts considerably. Their dragon scales were cracked, but slowly healing over time. Sitting atop the rock, the Silver Dragon flicked its tail back and forth and gazed into the distance at the black-and-red colossal beast, which was visibly expanding in size. A hint of envy flickered in its eyes as it muttered, If only the great Saixitia could grow just by eating, like Ao Tian.

Beside it, the Golden-Blue Dragon opened its fierce jaws slightly and exhaled a low, rumbling snort through its nostrils. Stop dreaming, Saixitia. Thunder Fiery’s evolutionary talent is tied to supreme power. It has one of those rare, peak-level powers. Among billions of colossal beasts, it's incredibly rare for even one to possess it. But...

The Golden-Blue Dragon paused, and the Silver Dragon glanced down curiously. But what, Thorsafi?

The corners of the Golden-Blue Dragon’s mouth curled slightly into a smile. But even if you don’t stand a chance of acquiring that kind of talent, your child might.

Child? What child? The Silver Dragon was momentarily stunned, not quite following.

The Golden-Blue Dragon blinked its golden-blue eyes and let out a soft rumble. Obviously, the child you and Thunder Fiery will have. It’s possible they could inherit that evolutionary talent.

The Silver Dragon immediately shot upright, roaring in shock. Damn you, Thorsafi! What are you talking about? The great Saixitia is barely four years old! That’s not even twelve Blue Planet years. How could I possibly have a child already? Ridiculous! If you want a child, you go have one with Ao Tian! The great Saixitia’s goal is to conquer the Chaotic Region and rule the world!

Icy white mist spewed from the Silver Dragon’s mouth. Just hearing Thorsafi mention having a child had flustered it so badly that it nearly lost control of its internal power.

In contrast, the Golden-Blue Dragon, still sprawled lazily on the ground, gave Saixitia a slow glance and let out a quiet growl. I didn’t say you had to have one right now, Saixitia. Why are you so worked up? As for me, I’m only two day-cycles older than you. Even if I wanted to, I’d have to wait until adulthood.

The Silver Dragon was instantly even more stunned, staring at the Golden-Blue Dragon in shock. Damn you, Thorsafi, you actually want to have a child with Ao Tian?!

...Is that strange? The Golden-Blue Dragon also gave the Silver Dragon a strange look and let out a low growl. Even though we’re mythical colossal dragons, we’re still living creatures, and the instinct to reproduce is part of that. When we encounter a powerful draconic colossal beast that we admire, it’s completely normal to feel the urge to produce offspring. Don’t tell me... you’re planning to choose some other colossal dragon as your mate?

Though there were only two day-cycles—two Blue Planet months—of age difference between the dragons, the Golden-Blue Dragon was mentally far more mature than the Silver Dragon.

Its words gave the Silver Dragon a strange feeling of having its entire thought process crushed. It couldn’t help roaring in frustration. Damn you! The great Saixitia does not need a mate, as for Ao Tian...

The Silver Dragon paused, then shot a fierce glare at the Golden-Blue Dragon sprawled on the ground. Spreading its wings, it soared into the sky. It didn’t want to stay anywhere near that irritating creature. Flying off, it thought to itself, That damn Thorsafi, how dare it talk about having a child with Ao Tian! Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

It took the Dragon Emperor nearly two full days to finish devouring the flesh of the ancient colossal beast. Fueled by the abundant biological energy, its body swelled to a staggering 3,300 meters in length, and that was even with the ancient beast’s flesh being relatively low in life force.

The black-and-red colossal beast now stood a full kilometer tall at the shoulder. Its tail stretched out more than 1,700 meters, sweeping through the air and radiating an oppressive presence. Its aura, which was close to a late-stage titan-level colossal beast and comparable with an ancient titan, distorted the space around it. Black rifts, each stretching hundreds or even thousands of meters, split open in the air, as if reality itself were cracking.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor slowly turned its massive body. Each step it took sent shockwaves tearing through the ground for kilometers in every direction. The earth shattered and exploded, blasting up a tidal wave of dust and energy. Every small movement it made caused the ground to quake and mountains to tremble. It was like the awakening of an ancient creature from long ago.

The Purple Sphere hovered silently in midair with its freshly regrown tentacles as the Dragon Emperor let out a growl. Next, we’ll continue deeper into the Chaotic Region to gather resources. As for you, Toryad, you won’t be coming with us. You’ll head in from a different direction and begin sweeping the region, to build your army of mythical beasts. Ten day-cycles from now, regardless of how many mythical beasts you’ve managed to control, return to the Dragon Palace to regroup. The soul seal will guide you to the location.

The Purple Sphere had already reached the peak of the titan level; even the highest grade resources wouldn’t have much effect on it. Going with them would only be a waste of time, or worse, it would dilute the resources and slow down the Dragon Emperor’s growth.

After all, now that the Purple Sphere had become a subordinate, if they traveled together and came across law-based resources or even rarer natural treasures, some would have to be shared. Otherwise, it could breed resentment and disloyalty.

Given that, it was far more practical for them to split up and follow separate paths. The Chaotic Region was vast. Although the Dragon Emperor and the others have already ventured over a million kilometers deep, they’ve only explored a straight narrow path no more than tens of thousands of kilometers wide.

That wasn’t even one ten-thousandth of the entire Chaotic Region. After all, this was a forbidden zone formed from the collapse of a great world, one vastly larger than the solar system itself. Even though most of it had already been devoured by the mythical world, the remaining area was still incomprehensibly large.

The Purple Sphere’s eyes glimmered, its powerful soul will vibrating through the void. It replied with a respectful, sincere tone. Yes, King Thunder Fiery. I will give it my all.

After speaking, the Purple Sphere, a massive kilometer-wide orb covered in countless slender tentacles stretching one to two kilometers long, soared into the sky at an incredible speed. It quickly vanished into the depths of the Chaotic Region.

At that moment, the Single-Horned Kunpeng flew over, looking curiously in the direction where the Purple Sphere had disappeared. Thunder Fiery, is it really okay to let it leave like that?

Although the Kunpeng wasn’t particularly smart, it still understood that the Purple Sphere wasn’t some ordinary creature. After all, it was the Beast King of Destruction, a dominant force that once ruled a part of the Chaotic Region.

It might have seemed well-behaved these past two days, but that was only because the Dragon Emperor was there to suppress it. If it had only encountered the Kunpeng and the Silver Dragon alone, they’d have long since been killed, their life force absorbed and their bodies turned into puppets.

Knowing what the Kunpeng was worried about, the Dragon Emperor looked over coldly and let out a slow, low growl. It doesn’t matter. As long as it completes the task.

Whether that beast went off to absorb the life force of other colossal beasts in a frenzy, tried to break through to the ancient level, or even attempted to break free of the soul seal, it was all irrelevant to the Dragon Emperor. That seal contained a wisp of the Dragon Emperor’s unique aura, so unless the Purple Sphere’s life stage also reached the heavenly tier, it would never be able to break free from its control.

Boom!

Brilliant gold, blue, and purple flames erupted from the Dragon Emperor’s mouth, engulfing the remains of the ancient colossal beast in a blaze hot enough to boil the skies and seas as it began to temper the bones with its intense fire.

As the remains of an ancient titan colossal beast, the bones had been tempered by the power of principles and were incredibly durable. Without first being refined and forged, even if thrown into Chen Chu’s planar world, it wouldn’t be able to absorb them immediately.

Still, with these remains, plus the bones of the previous three titan-level beasts and the resources from Luo Fei, the accumulated energy would be enough to quickly push the planar world to the next level. At that point, perhaps the supreme Law of Power would reach perfection first, breaking through to the heavenly king tier.
