Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

The true ancient spirit colossal beast had already fused with its own principle, gaining recognition from the mythical world. Under the evolution of this principle, it became the very foundation upon which a realm operated.

In an unknown spacetime, the water in the River of Time flowed violently. Suddenly, upstream of the river, a massive colossal beast emerged. Its head alone spanned tens of thousands of meters, and resembled that of an eastern divine dragon, covered in gold-and-silver scales. A pair of thick dragon horns split and extended backward, while its dense silver mane, tens of thousands of meters long, flowed without wind.

Within its slowly opening, massive silver eyes, countless scenes flashed by in an instant: thriving civilizations, blue skies, and the silent emptiness of space.

Those eyes seemed to reflect both the beginning and the end of a world, divine and unfathomable. Each breath it took stirred the entire River of Time, creating an utterly terrifying sight.

The true spirit colossal beast lifted its head slightly, gazing downstream. Its eyes crossed vast space and time to fall upon the Dragon Emperor, then, from its nostrils came a deep, resonant sound that shook the very fabric of this spacetime.Ancient... no, that colossal beast is only at the peak of the titan level.

The Destructive Dragon Emperor, with a body spanning 4,100 meters, had already far surpassed the standard 3,000 meters for a colossal beast at the peak of the titan level. This standard was a foundational principle of the mythical world, and also the genetic limit for colossal beast-type lifeforms. Only dragon-serpent hybrids or beings that had broken through their genetic constraints could surpass it.

Though its head bore some resemblance, the black-and-red colossal beast had a physique that was completely mismatched with eastern divine dragons, and it differed significantly from western colossal dragons as well. Moreover, the bloodline aura coiled around it was overwhelmingly terrifying, giving the temporal true spirit a sense that it was facing a lifeform of the same level.

This colossal beast has a high-ranked emperor bloodline!At this thought, a flicker of astonishment flashed through the true spirit's eyes.

For colossal beast-type lifeforms, bloodline determined potential. Only those whose bloodlines had reached the king level would have a chance to break through and become a mythical-level colossal beast. To break through to the titan level, a beast needed to also possess at least one top-level ability capable of creating a high-level law.

To ascend to the ancient level, the beast's king-level bloodline needed to be of a high tier, and they needed to master at least two top-level supreme laws; only then could one begin to cultivate the power of principles.

For true-spirit-level beasts beyond the ancient level, their bloodline had to reach the emperor level. Otherwise, their weak principle power simply couldn't break through the vast chasm of the mythical world.

Of course, for colossal beast-type lifeforms, bloodline wasn't everything. As their strength and experience grew, their bloodline could also undergo multiple evolutions and enhancements. Just like human cultivators, they could comprehend various laws to construct their own path and advance their life stage.

This was exactly why the true spirit beast was so surprised to sense a high-ranked emperor bloodline from a mere titan-level colossal beast. Although a high-ranked bloodline rank didn't necessarily equate to strength, all truly powerful colossal beasts possess high-ranked bloodlines.

In other words, the young titan-level beast in front of it could steadily grow to match its own power, as long as it didn't fall prematurely.

In the moment it took the true spirit beast to process this thought, half an hour had already passed. Below the Dragon Emperor, a silver time fish leapt high out of the river.

Boom!

A dragon claw wrapped in black and red lightning caught the fish. Instantly, the entire segment of the River of Time shook violently, releasing explosive force enough to drown a typical ancient colossal beast.

Yet, even this amount of spacetime suppression power was shattered instantly by the Dragon Emperor, whose massive body flashed forward over a hundred kilometers, entering the domain shrouded in the power of time.

Roar!

Sensing its fate, the 16-meter-long silver fish let out a deep, resonant roar. Silver light surged from its body as it began to grow.

Bang!

Just as dragon horns began to form atop the silver fish's head and its body expanded to over two hundred meters, now resembling a true dragon, the Dragon Emperor had already lunged forward and bitten off its upper half in one gulp.

Ao Tian, Ao Tian! It's Saixitia's turn now!Several hundred kilometers away, the Silver Colossal Dragon let out an excited roar, opening a spatial passage to grab the remaining half of the silver fish thrown over by the Dragon Emperor.

They had no choice but to eat the remains. Their strength was too weak to digest the entire silver fish; devouring the entire body would cause them to explode. Without the Dragon Emperor consuming half of it first, they wouldn't have even been able to suppress the silver fish that had broken out of the temporal restraints.

Roar!

As the Silver Dragon swallowed the fish, its bloodline surged violently. Its Ice Crystal Destruction ability and its Law of Space both went berserk.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless frost erupted from the Silver Dragon, freezing over a hundred kilometers of land. Then, under the raging winds, everything was crushed. The twisted, chaotic space merged into a zone of destruction.

Far off in the distance, after devouring the silver fish and going into a bloodline berzerk state, the Single-Horned Kunpeng had already vanished. A black hole had formed where it was, enveloping a hundred-kilometer radius. Compared to them, the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon's evolution was far more dazzling and radiant in appearance.

However, the Dragon Emperor had no time to pay attention to any of that. It was already preparing to seize a few more silver fish while it still could. As time passed, an increasing sense of unease grew in its heart, like some terrifying creature had set its sights on it.

It hadn't forgotten how the Silver Dragon's luck was a mix of good and bad. Every time it picked up something good, it would soon get beaten up by some powerful colossal beast.

Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Emperor should have taken the gains and left swiftly, but it couldn't this time. These silver fish born from time were far too precious to give up. However, sensing the potential danger, the Dragon Emperor decided it would catch just one more for the Little Purple Dragon before departing.

As the Dragon Emperor expanded its senses to the fullest, staying alert for any possible ambush while keeping its focus on the river's surface, the distant true spirit beast stayed deep in thought.Just now, this little one seemed to show traces of five high-level laws. Black and red lightning filled with the aura of destruction, the murky force field on its surface that erased the power of time, instantaneous space-time traversal, and devouring.

While the true spirit beast was still pondering, another hour passed in the blink of an eye. Another silver fish leaped into the air from the segment of the River of Time where the Dragon Emperor was.

This time, the fish that broke the surface was the largest yet, reaching nineteen meters in length. Like a streak of silver light, it shot up to a height of a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

From the Dragon Emperor's perspective, the silver fish had merely jumped a thousand meters. But in the eyes of the silver fish itself, it had just broken through more than ten layers of twisted spacetime in a single surge. However, once it reached this point, even with its great strength, the fish was becoming exhausted. The invisible pull behind it grew stronger and stronger.

No. I must escape. I must transcend. I must rise above all creation.Explosive determination and willpower erupted from the silver fish's eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Its body twisted madly as a powerful force burst forth from within, fighting against the river's pull. Yet just as the silver fish struggled to free itself from the river's grasp, a vast shadow fell over it. A massive colossal beast appeared. Its enormous body intersected countless timelines, and its golden vertical pupils, like twin suns, gazed down coldly at it.

Before the silver fish could react, a gigantic claw wrapped in black and red lightning descended from above, crushing several layers of spacetime as it enveloped the fish.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor seized the silver fish with one claw. Its right claw swelled with muscle, and its full strength exploded outward, shattering the bindings of spacetime. In an instant, it turned into a shadow and vanished beyond the bounds of time.

I'm free!Feeling the oppressive seal on its body shatter, the silver fish gripped in the black and red dragon claw revealed a look of wild joy in its eyes. It had never imagined that, in the end, it would be this terrifying colossal beast that helped it escape.

However, it still wasn't out of danger. It sensed overwhelming hostility from the colossal beast.I must flee immediately,the silver fish thought.

At that thought, the silver fish instantly ignited the origin within its body that had previously been suppressed by the power of spacetime. In a flash, an explosive force erupted, and its body began to expand.

That once-familiar sensation returned immediately. It was the overwhelming power that had shattered an entire world and filled the silver fish with pride. As this unstoppable force erupted, it even forced the colossal beast's claw to open slightly.

Just as the silver fish believed it could reveal its true form and break free from the crushing grip of the massive claw, the colossal beast opened its world-devouring jaw.

No! I am the overlord of the Great Desolate World! I am the supreme beast about to transcend the universe and time itself! I can't die here! No, wait, there is no escape. There is no true transcendence at all. We are all livestock, bred to be food. We're just prey for that horrific creature that dwells outside the infinite worlds. The moment we transcend the world, we are eaten.

Countless thoughts flashed through the silver fish's mind, and finally, it ended in despair as the colossal beast's mouth closed around it.
