Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 216: Level 8 Colossal Beast, the Might of Domains (II)

Soon, the two colossal beasts reached the mountainside.

The Thunder Beast suddenly stopped, its cold eyes staring ahead.

Several hundred meters away lay a massive colossal beast, over sixty meters long, beside a water pond with a diameter of dozens of meters. The stream flowed out from this pond, forming a five-meter-wide creek winding into the sea.

Most of the colossal beast's massive body lay horizontally in the forest, and its thick black-brown scales resembled armor, layer upon layer covering its entire body.

It overall resembled a crocodile, but larger and more ferocious. Its back was covered with sharp black bone spurs, giving it a domineering and fierce appearance.

Just as the Thunder Beast spotted it, the colossal beast, surpassing level 7, also spotted them, and its massive body instantly rose up with a thunderous roar.

Roar!

An aura of ferocity belonging to a level 8 colossal beast erupted from the crocodile in an instant, causing the surrounding earth to shatter and billows of dust to rise. Trees in the distance wildly swayed from the roar’s shockwaves.

Surrounded by swirling black energy, the ancient giant crocodile coldly glared at the Thunder Beast, emanating a pressure that seemed like it could collapse the air and crush the earth in a display of dominance. It ignored the Dragon Turtle following behind; only the ferocious Thunder Beast gave it a strong sense of danger.

Seeing this, the Thunder Beast refused to back down, and an extremely ferocious aura erupted from it, as if it was a primordial dragon.

Boom!

The substantive power swept away the surrounding air, forming a semicircular transparent shockwave that swept across a hundred meters. Wherever it passed, strong winds howled, and sand and stones flew.

At the same time, golden-red flames erupted from the Thunder Beast’s body, transforming it into a flaming colossal beast in the blink of an eye.

The roaring flames soared ten meters high, emitting a scorching heat of over two thousand degrees Celsius. The stream under the Thunder Beast instantly boiled, steam erupting from it like a pressure cooker as it evaporated at a visible rate.

The hard cobblestones under its claws cracked and shattered, gradually turning into hot black-red liquid. In just a few breaths, the Thunder Beast's claws were submerged in rolling lava, and trees and weeds twenty meters away rapidly ignited and withered at a visible speed.

At the same time, blue lightning continually flickered between the Thunder Beast’s dorsal fins, occasionally striking the nearby ground with a thunderous explosion.

Compared to underwater, the Thunder Beast's power on land was even more terrifying. In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a blazing source of radiation, incinerating everything around it. Ordinary people had no capacity to approach it.

Such power made the Dragon Turtle feel envious, and then it excitedly roared. Roar! Thunder Fiery, let me go first.

As it spoke, a heavy yellow light burst from its body, connecting its energy with the earth, and a majestic and immovable aura spread out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Protected by a shield over a meter thick, the Dragon Turtle was like a moving mountain as it charged toward the crocodile, taking the lead in attacking. Its towering aura was completely unlike its previous fear of death.

Roar!

Seeing the Dragon Turtle actually daring to launch an attack on it, the crocodile instantly flew into a rage. A terrifying vitality erupted from its massive body, and it charged forward with a burst of speed explosive enough to make winds howl around it.

It was so fast that it almost reached a supersonic speed of over three hundred meters per second, completely devoid of the clumsiness its massive size would suggest, and appeared instantly in front of the Dragon Turtle.

Boom!

As the giant claw covered in black energy descended, an indescribable heaviness exploded, and the Dragon Turtle's body suddenly sank.

Boom!

With the Dragon Turtle at the center, the ground within a hundred-meter radius exploded. Just as the soil and stones were starting to fly, however, they were suddenly pushed down again by a heavy invisible force.

Boom!

The black light on the crocodile's body intensified, and with it at the center, the ground within a two-hundred-meter radius sank three meters under an invisible gravity domain.

With the terrifying strike, the Dragon Turtle's body was directly slammed into the ground, with only a small part of its shell and the wildly vibrating yellow light that covered it exposed.

As the yellow light circulated, the Dragon Turtle's body continued to sink slowly.

This guy was just boasting about having some guts, and then it goes straight back to hiding away after one strike.

Roar!

Watching the Dragon Turtle sink in front of it, the crocodile emitted a violent roar. A dazzling black light gathered in its mouth, and a black and red beam burst out.

Hum!

The laser-like beam struck the Dragon Turtle's back, and the yellow light immediately began to violently shudder, black and yellow shockwaves erupting from the point of contact.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

These shockwaves contained a fierce and powerful impact force, emitting a dazzling light as it lifted and melted the soil that the Dragon Turtle had sunk into.

Compared to the Thunder Beast’s scorching breath, the crocodile’s was more like a condensed energy beam, with greater penetrating power.

This crocodile also had a strong sense of combat tactics. After noticing that the Thunder Beast hadn’t joined the fray, it prepared to unleash its full power to eliminate the Dragon Turtle first.

Under the beam breath’s continuous bombardment, the yellow energy shield on the Dragon Turtle's back only lasted for a few dozen seconds before being penetrated, the beam now landing on the Dragon Turtle’s black-brown shell with a loud thud.

Roar!

A cry rang out from beneath the earth.

Gravity domain and high penetration energy beams? As it watched the scene from afar, the Thunder Beast's gaze flickered slightly, then flames erupted all over its body.

Boom!

The Thunder Beast disappeared in an instant, accompanied by explosions on the ground within dozens of meters from where it had been standing.

Boom! Roar!

Just as the crocodile was about to finish off the Dragon Turtle, its scales shattered, and it let out a wait as it went flying. Vast swaths of forest collapsed from the impact, until if finally hit a hillside a hundred meters away, rocks flying and dust filling the air.

At that same moment, all four sets of the Thunder Beast's claws erupted with power, and it turned into a blazing streak of fire as it shot after the crocodile.

Roar!

Within the shattered and trembling earth, the crocodile felt a sudden surge of light pierce its eyes as it struggled to get up.

In an instant, the Thunder Beast appeared before it. The muscles of its right claw swelled, and the tip of its claw gleamed with golden, hot light as it descended at terrifying speed.

The crocodile let out a furious roar.

Boom!

A heavy force erupted from the crocodile, and the ground within a radius of two hundred meters sank under a hundredfold gravity.

Even the Thunder Beast sank with the ground, and its claw fell even faster under the pull of gravity.

Roar!

The giant crocodile let out a piercing scream.

With its sharp and terrifying claws, combined with its explosive force and the gravitational pull, the Thunder Beast’s strike had almost completely shattered the entire upper half of the scales on the crocodile’s head. Flesh exploded, revealing a skull underneath that was dozens of times harder than alloy. Even one of its eyes had been obliterated by the strike.

The Thunder Beast had taken advantage of the gravity domain increase the power of its attack. However, this giant crocodile was truly worthy of being a level 8 mutated creature. It was only severely injured by the Thunder Beast’s full-force strike, unlike other mutated creatures in the past whose heads had been completely blasted apart.

Under the pressure of a hundredfold gravity, the Thunder Beast’s legs sank into the ground by two meters, its belly almost touching the ground. Even the flames on its body were being pressed down to within a meter of the surface by the gravity, emitting an even more intense and dazzling light.

Although this gravity was formidable, however, it only made the Thunder Beast uncomfortable.

Roar!

Seeing the Thunder Beast motionless for a moment, the blood-drenched crocodile let out a ferocious growl, its huge mouth opening wide to bite down.

Boom!

Thunderbolts, as thick as arms, exploded from the Thunder Beast, intertwining to form a thunderbolt domain that spread to cover a hundred-meter radius around it.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The crocodile roared in anger as it was bombarded by the thunderbolts. However, they could only cause it some numbness, unable to inflict real damage.

Boom!

The moment the crocodile froze, the Thunder Beast's claw blasted its gaping mouth.

At the same time, the Thunder Beast was also sent flying by a slap from the crocodile, sparks flying as the sharp and massive claws scratched against its black-red scales.

Whether it was the Thunder Beast or the crocodile, their claws could easily tear through ordinary protective energy. In the end, both sides had to rely on their formidable physical bodies.

Roar!

Now that the Thunder Beast had had time to adapt somewhat to the gravity domain, it surged forward with a fierce roar, stirring up blazing hot winds as it initiated a fierce battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Around the two colossal beasts, the gravity fluctuated, flames burned, and thunderbolts exploded, causing the earth to shatter and hills to collapse wherever they passed. Each strike from both sides would unleash enough force to shake the air, while their deep and fierce roars echoed through the heavens and earth.

Under the gravity domain, the Thunder Beast’s speed and agility were greatly reduced. However, the crocodile could control the strength of the gravity domain’s influence on itself, remaining unaffected by it. Despite this, it was barely holding its own against the Thunder Beast.

Compared to the Thunder Beast, which possessed a human consciousness, the crocodile's fighting style was much more primitive, consisting mainly of biting, clawing, and tail swipes. It couldn’t use its powerful laser beam in close combat, and the wary Thunder Beast was making sure that it couldn’t get enough distance between them for it.

As a result, while the battle seemed evenly matched, the Thunder Beast was actually suppressing the physically larger crocodile. After the ancient evolution, the Thunder Beast had such great control over its body that it quickly adapted to some aspects of the gravity domain.

The Thunder Beast swung its claws, causing the earth to collapse and lava to surge with every strike. When it landed a hit on the crocodile, its scales shattered, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

However, as a level 8 colossal beast, the crocodile's recovery ability was terrifying. Many wounds deep enough to see bone would heal as flesh grew around them.

Suddenly, the Thunder Beast managed to grab its opponent’s neck with its blood-soaked claws, and the similarly blood-covered crocodile let out an angry roar was it was slammed into the ground dozens of meters below with a deafening crash.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The violent roar shook the ground, which had compressed into solid earth from the gravitational force. With the Thunder Beast's flaming claws and right leg pressing firmly on its neck and back, however, the crocodile couldn't immediately break free.

Just then, a tail ablaze with fierce flames and surrounded by lightning burst out.

Under the explosive eruption of muscles with a hundredfold strength and the influence of the gravity domain, the tail sword moved with dazzling light at almost supersonic speed, emitting a sharp thunderous roar.

Boom!

Brimming with overwhelming power, the tail sword penetrated protective energy, armor, and flesh, before finally landing on the crocodile's heavily reinforced skull. Upon impact, there was a terrifying explosion of energy, and the sword pierced through in one strike.
