Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Just as the four colossal beasts approached within two thousand kilometers of the continent, a violent and bloodthirsty aura suddenly erupted from its center.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky shattered, the land split, and mountain ranges crumbled. Amid the rising dust and smoke, a monstrous black beast over ten thousand meters long surged into the sky. It resembled a centipede, with hundreds of sharp legs lining both sides of its body.

This black centipede-like beast was fully clad in a layered, armor-like black carapace, each segment stacked upon the next. It looked like a creature forged from metal and radiated an aura on par with a beginning-stage ancient titan.

Unlike normal ancient beasts, this centipede didn't emanate a strong principle aura. What it exuded instead were pure, overwhelming fluctuations of brute physical power.

Roar!

Staring at the four colossal beasts led by the Dragon Emperor, the centipede beast sensed the fresh, living flesh and blood pulsing from their bodies. With a savage roar, it surged forward, black shockwaves tumbling in its wake.

Seeking death.With that thought, the Dragon Emperor roared back. Black and red lightning erupted across its body as its blade-like wings snapped wide. Like a massive black-and-red meteor, it plunged from the sky.

As it descended to a thousand kilometers above the continent, the Dragon Emperor felt itself pass through an invisible barrier. Air and faint energy appeared within the realm. With the air's friction, its descent—already over two hundred times the speed of sound—ignited scarlet flames along its surface, leaving a trail of blazing brilliance.

Boom!

In the next instant, the two colossal beasts collided. The void within a thousand kilometers imploded, and a black shockwave swept across the land for thousands more. From the heavens, black-and-red light plummeted like a divine pillar, slamming into the continental mass.

Boom!

In an earth-shaking explosion, the land shattered. The continent, thousands of kilometers in diameter, broke apart instantly. Rocks and soil were vaporized into molten material and hurled in all directions by the overwhelming force.

Roar!

At the heart of the blast, a frenzied howl erupted. Violent power fluctuations rippled out in successive waves, crashing through the void. In the heart of the crumbling continent, black and red lightning danced while thunderclaps echoed through space. Endless golden flames surged outward, engulfing hundreds of kilometers.

At the center of that inferno infused with high-level destructive laws, the ancient centipede howled. Its ten-thousand-meter-long form circled the Dragon Emperor like a demonic dragon severing space.

This beast had fused its body with principle power, and its physical form was unimaginably strong. Destruction lightning could only leave shallow pits on its armor. Even the golden flames, hot enough to reduce a titan to ash in moments, only made its body glow red.

It was a creature that had pushed the enhancement of a beast's body to its absolute limit. However, in the earlier head-on collision, the smaller Dragon Emperor had displayed a far more terrifying strength, overpowering it completely. The ancient centipede now felt a sliver of fear.

Roar!

It launched itself like a bolt of black lightning and dove from behind the Dragon Emperor, intending to use its massive form to entangle and crush its foe.

At that moment, the Dragon Emperor suddenly turned. Muscles in its lightning-wrapped black-red arms bulged, claws spread wide. The pressure distorted and collapsed the surrounding space within dozens of kilometers.

Boom!

It seized the upper half of the centipede's body. The void beneath them shattered as the two colossal beasts clashed again, generating another shockwave of catastrophic power.

Roar!

The Dragon Emperor's claws dug into the centipede's neck and upper torso. It let out a brutal roar, jaws wide open, massive fangs gleaming with icy sharpness.

Boom!

Under its monstrous bite force, the centipede's hundreds-meter-thick carapace, black and layered over ten meters deep, shattered like a nuclear blast, unleashing a burst of deadly energy and blinding light.

A shriek of agony tore from the centipede's mouth. That segment of its body now bore a cavity two hundred meters deep and over three hundred meters wide, nearly bitten clean through. Metallic light shimmered from the wound, but not a single drop of blood spilled.

What terrified the centipede even more was what happened the instant it was bitten: That portion of its body, along with the soul and principle power fused into it, had vanished. It was completely gone, as if erased by some terrifying force.

This was the Dragon Emperor's tenth divine transformation ability—the Dark Realm Power—a law's ultimate technique it had gained after fully absorbing the energy of Chaotic Crystals and advancing its evolution.

Anything bitten and devoured by the Dragon Emperor, be it titans or ancient titans, would be utterly lost. Even with their immense life force, recovery was impossible, because in the centipede's soul imprint, that part of its body simply no longer existed.

This dreadful technique made the Dragon Emperor a truly terrifying devourer of all creation, and now, facing a mere beginning-stage ancient titan, it couldn't even be bothered to enter its dark-red form. It intended to eat it directly.

Roar!

Sensing the danger, the ancient centipede instinctively let out a panicked roar. Its ten-thousand-meter-long body coiled like a giant python, wrapping tightly around the Dragon Emperor in an attempt to crush it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ancient centipede's hundreds of blade-like legs, each several hundred meters long, slashed wildly against the Dragon Emperor's black and red scales, unleashing deafening blasts and dazzling sparks.

Yet despite possessing a sharpness that made them strong enough to tear through space and slice apart any law, the centipede's limbs left behind nothing but shallow white marks. They couldn't damage the Dragon Emperor's scales in the slightest.

Tempered by its tenth divine transformation ability, forged by high-level laws, and strengthened through devouring over a dozen metallic mineral veins filled with heavy material, the Dragon Emperor's body had become so powerful it could now ignore the attacks of even ancient titans.

Roar!

Explosive strength surged through the Dragon Emperor, shattering the void beneath its feet. Ignoring the beast's thrashing, it bit down again at the wound on the centipede's neck.

Boom!

With a crunch, the Dragon Emperor bit clean through the centipede's neck, snapping it in two. The ancient titan's overwhelming aura immediately weakened. The severing of its principles and damage to its soul left the beast powerless.

S-So strong!The Golden-Blue Dragon opened its mouth wide, utterly shocked as it watched the Dragon Emperor rip apart the ancient titan and devour it chunk by chunk.

Back when the Dragon Emperor had slain the Six-Tailed Platinum Tiger, it had already demonstrated a power that overwhelmed everything. Even then, however, against the immense lifeforce of an ancient titan, the Dragon Emperor had needed time to erode the beast's soul and will after entering its Dark-Red Form.

Now, with its ever-growing size and strength, even beginning-stage ancient titans stood no chance. Its power and growth rate left the Golden-Blue Dragon speechless, despite having been stunned more times than it could count.

In contrast, the Silver Dragon was simply thrilled.Ao Tian is invincible! Too incredible!

In the storm-filled void, the towering black-and-red beast stood over two thousand meters tall, tearing apart and devouring the struggling centipede in its claws. Nearby, the kilometer-long Silver Dragon roared excitedly, spiraling around with joy.

Crunch! Crunch!

As the ancient titan's metallicized flesh entered its belly, the Dragon Emperor's body visibly expanded, its aura growing ever more fearsome with the influx of energy. At the same time, threads of evolutionary energy traveled through its soul passage, manifesting within Chen Chu in the distant realm, who was undergoing his breakthrough to the heavenly king level.

Immediately, his True Demon God Form surged with an even more powerful aura. The black hole distorting space around him expanded dramatically, covering a radius of 120 kilometers.

Under the invisible gravitational magnetic field emanating from him, the surrounding mountains—now composed of gray stone—collapsed with a thunderous rumble, sending dust clouds rolling across the landscape.

"What a terrifying human powerhouse!" Over two thousand kilometers away, Kordes felt the increasingly horrifying aura that was already comparable to the divine king level, and his face turned pale. He simply couldn't believe what he was sensing.

Boom!

In the dark expanse of space, time rippled as a four-thousand-meter-long black-and-red colossal beast stood tall, radiating savage, murderous energy that distorted reality.

Thanks to its devouring ability, the Dragon Emperor had consumed the entire ten-thousand-meter-long, hundreds-of-meters-thick ancient titan in just half a day. Its body had grown from over 3,800 meters to a full 4,000 meters, and its cultivation had reached the peak of the titan level, now only one step away from entering the ancient titan level.

The black-and-red beast lifted its head, staring deep into the dark void. Golden vertical pupils glinted coldly, and the hundred-meter-long black mane on its head stirred without wind. It radiated majesty and ferocity. Its jaws parted slightly as it rumbled a low command.Let's go. Keep moving.

Though this world was more desolate and dangerous, the beings that could survive here were at least at the mythical level, and many seemed to be at the ancient titan level. They'd already encountered one only a hundred thousand kilometers in.

However, the colossal beasts in this realm, influenced by the environment, were inherently more violent. Their power was extreme, making them unfit as subordinates. It was better to eat them.

If it could devour another two or three beginning-stage ancient titans, or even one late-stage ancient titan, that would be enough for it to break through to the ancient titan level.
