Chapter 308: Supreme Ferocious Beast, Colossal Beast Emperor, Gazing at the Essence (I)
Its neck became thicker and more powerful, and its head slightly deformed to appear even more ferocious. The brow ridge jutted out, and the short, black horns on its head lengthened and sharpened, resembling a mane.
As its body transformed, the thick black and red scales across its body stretched and deformed, becoming more angular and protruding like blades. Simultaneously, barbs grew backward from its claws and leg joints, while a row of heavy bone spikes emerged from its shoulders, with flames faintly flickering within.
The dorsal fin, which had previously evolved from a row of sharp spines to a mix of thick and thin coral, now became sharp once again, now even thicker than the Sword Armored Beast’s dorsal spikes from its third evolution.
Additionally, new black and red spikes sprouted along the sides of the dorsal fin, forming three rows that extended all the way to its tail and merged with the segmented scales there.
It looked as though an extra blade composed of three rows of sharp spikes had formed along its tail. The sword-like spikes at the tail's tip also became sharper and thicker, akin to a sword and radiating a sharp aura, yet as heavy and suitable for chopping as a blade.
These were merely the external changes. Inside the Thunder Fiery Beast, the top-level Defense and top-level Strength remained unshaken, while the Thunderbolt and Golden Flames roared wildly.
Endless golden energy churned within its flesh, transforming into pure golden fire and emitting a temperature high enough to scorch the heavens and boil the seas.
At the same time, the electric cells in its dorsal fin also divided and mutated frantically. Each cell’s core seemingly transformed into pure lightning, as if they were no longer cells but thunderbolts themselves.
The energy was so powerful that the three rows of dorsal fins glowed like high-wattage light bulbs, emitting deep blue light, with arcs of deep blue electricity crackling and popping.
Moreover, the previously low-level abilities of Regeneration and Toxin underwent dramatic changes, transforming from substances circulating in its flesh into energy-based abilities.
The Toxin merged with the Golden Flames, its green energy igniting like oil on fire and becoming even more explosively hot. Regeneration and Agility also merged, allowing the Thunder Beast’s explosive agility to achieve multiple bursts before needing a pause, compared to the previous two.
On land, it could instantly cover thirty times its body length, and underwater, twenty times, with explosive agility. However, this exerted great strain and damage on its body, causing joint and muscle dissolution after each burst that necessitated a pause for recovery. But now...
Boom!
Golden flames erupted from the Thunder FBeast like a volcano, covering a three-hundred-meter radius in blazing light, with deep blue thunderbolts roaring within.
Boom!
An extremely ferocious aura exploded, causing the seabed to tremble from the unbearable weight and shattering the ground within a hundred-meter radius. Under the intense heat of the flames, the seabed turned into erupting lava.
The surrounding cold, dead sea water evaporated under the thousands of degrees Celsius heat from the golden flames and thunderbolts, forming waves of destructive water that swept across a kilometer radius. Even on the sea surface, waves over ten meters high surged in all directions.
Such an intense aura instantly startled all of the creatures cultivating in the nearby ice palace, including the Silver Colossal Dragon and the Nine-headed Serpent, causing them to rush out instinctively.
Seeing the ferocious beast amid the golden flames and thunderbolts, even the Silver Dragon, a descendant of mythical colossal beasts, felt an oppressive force emanating from the Thunder Beast.
The other creatures felt this pressure even more intensely, especially the Serpent, which was deeply shaken. Not long ago, the Thunder Beast had been teaching them runes, so how had it suddenly grown so much stronger and become so fearsome?
The Serpent twisted its nine heads and growled in shock. Roar! Roar! Roar! So powerful, aura. Ao Ba, what happened to you?
Compared to the Silver Dragon and Serpent, the Single-horned Kun was excited. Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, you've become stronger again, so powerful, so powerful!
Roar, roar! Thunder Fiery, you've become even more monstrous. Truly, you never cease to amaze. The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle also roared in excitement.
After spending so much time together, these two colossal beasts had grown accustomed to the Thunder Beast's monstrous nature. In fact, they would be more surprised if the Thunder Beast ever ceased to be formidable.
The four mutated orcas, on the other hand, instinctively huddled behind the Kun, trembling under the Thunder Beast’s overwhelming and ferocious aura.
Even the level 7 female orca couldn't face the rampant, ferocious aura that the Thunder Beast was now exuding.
At the center of the domain, the ferocious black and red beast let out a deep roar. Roar! Baxia, if you can't use adjectives correctly, then don't use them. I'm not monstrous, I've just become stronger.
The Thunder Beast’s eyes swept over the colossal beasts, and it growled. Roar! This time, while comprehending my own power and deducing the runes, I triggered a second growth.
Squeak, squeak, squeak! I want to grow too, Thunder Fiery, you look so formidable.
The Kun's eyes shone with envy.
The Thunder Beast growled. Roar! If you want a second growth, it's simple. Comprehend your abilities to the limit and understand the essence of your own power.
Roar, roar, roar! Ao Ba, how to comprehend, what is comprehend? The Serpent's nine heads showed confusion, as did the Kun and the Dragon Turtle.
Roar! Comprehending means self-reflection. For example, Saixitia, have you ever wondered how your Ice ability is generated? Why does it form ice? What's the principle behind it, and why isn't it just water?
The Thunder Beast’s words left the Silver Dragon momentarily stunned, as it had never considered such questions. From birth until now, it had either been eating, sleeping, or flying around its mother's territory without a care in the world.
It had naturally mastered its abilities and powers due to the spiritual mark from its bloodline, instinctively knowing how to use and unleash them and growing stronger with each level.
Roar! At present, Big Horn, Baxia, you both will soon have an opportunity to comprehend the essence of your power.
Roar! When transcendent creatures break through to level 8, there will be a process of manifesting runes within their innate abilities, fundamentally revealing the essence of their own power to you.
Immediately, the Kun's eyes lit up, as it squeaked with excitement. Squeak, squeak, squeak! So I'm about to become monstrous too, how exciting!
The Dragon Turtle also roared excitedly. Roar, roar! So that's how it is, as long as we break through, we can be as mighty as you, Thunder Fiery.
Squeak, squeak, squeak! But Thunder Fiery, we feel like it will take us a long time to break through.
The Kun's eyes showed distress. Although they had touched the threshold of level 8, they felt they still needed a long time to completely step into it.
