I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 100 - 97: Ominous Sign

In the clearing surrounded by black trees, the corpses of over a dozen colossal ferocious beasts piled up like a mountain, with blood yet to be fully drained, gushing out like mountain springs, forming a stream.

The Dark Armored Giant Ape sat on a large stone it had moved, voraciously devouring the corpse of the Blast Bear Beast.

Every time it tore off flesh, blood would spurt out, dyeing the Giant Ape’s cheeks, where flames burned, red, flowing down its robust chest.

Simultaneously, under the searing flames, some of the blood vaporized into a red blood mist enveloping the Dark Armored Giant Ape, making the scene somewhat gruesome and horrifying.

Creatures that stepped into Tier Four had incredibly strong bodies and abundant energy within. Even after half a day of death, the corpse would remain active, with fresh blood.

However, as it continued eating, the Dark Armored Giant Ape noticed a problem.

The biological energy converted from the flesh and blood, apart from aiding in physical evolution and growth, was partially absorbed by the Demon Soul Network, transforming into Demonic Power.

In this way, the energy required for its growth became more, similar to the changes after it initially broke through Tier Four.

The flesh and blood of ferocious beasts were tougher than that of demon beasts. The combined mass of more than a dozen Tier Four and two Tier Five beasts took the Dark Armored Giant Ape ’half a day’ to finish even now.

As for the White Fox Beast, eating a ’meal’ like a lady, it took half a day to finish a leg of a Tier Four ferocious beast, which could be ignored.

Boom!

The Dark Armored Giant Ape, now standing over 29.5 meters tall, rose, its massive form emanating pressure that compressed the air, producing a deep rumbling sound.

The Dark Armored Giant Ape, standing nearly the height of a ten-story building, increasingly exuded the majesty of a giant beast.

It was already ’quite late,’ and it was about time to head back, but when the Dark Armored Giant Ape looked towards the White Fox Beast, it noticed its eyes glowing while looking at those skeletons.

Compared to flesh and blood, the bones of ferocious beasts were more rigid, and even the Dark Armored Giant Ape found it challenging to crush the spine of a Tier Five ferocious beast.

This was different from using all its might to smash the skull and shatter the spine; instead, it chewed with its teeth, the time it took to gnaw through a piece of bone enough for it to consume an entire leg.

Thus, with limited time available each day, it generally didn’t eat these, consuming only some cartilage.

However, these held great attraction for the White Fox Beast, as at its Tier Three Peak, it struggled to defeat beasts of the same tier, let alone feed on Tier Four and Tier Five ferocious beasts.

Howl!! The White Fox Beast extended its right paw, pointing to the pile of ferocious beast skeletons, making a sitting gesture.

"Roar! You mean you want to stay here and refine those bones?" The Dark Armored Giant Ape inquired, though the sound it made was a deep growl.

However, following several days of interaction, the two giant beasts had developed a certain level of understanding.

Howl!! The White Fox Beast nodded, its two white tails excitedly swaying, believing that refining these bones might allow it to step into Tier Four.

And transitioning from Tier Three to Tier Four was a completely different level. By then, it could also assist the Dark Armored Giant Ape a bit.

"...Is that so."

The Dark Armored Giant Ape surveyed the surroundings, pondering slightly, then nodded and let out a low growl: "Then be careful on your own. Run if anything seems wrong, wait for me to come in tomorrow."

Howl!! The White Fox Beast nodded, indicating its understanding.

Before leaving, the Dark Armored Giant Ape glanced at the undead’s corpse ripped into two halves in the distance, showing regret in its eyes.

The broken black Demon Spear shattered along with the undead being torn apart, and the nine chains turned to ashes, as if their existence was dependent on the undead.

...

It was almost seven by the time Jiang Hou returned. Upon opening the door, he found Qin Siyu bustling in the kitchen, humming while preparing breakfast.

Having resolved her long-standing emotional turmoil, knowing her mother hadn’t ’abandoned’ her, the young girl’s mood had been good these past two days.

Influenced by her spirits, a smile appeared on Jiang Hou’s face as he headed to the bathroom.

Given his current Tier Four cultivation in both the Divine Weapon and physical body, even without washing his face or brushing his teeth for days, his body wouldn’t accumulate grime and remained clean naturally.

However, the habit formed over many years made Jiang Hou uncomfortable without brushing his teeth each morning.

"Jiang Hou, where’s Feitong? I didn’t see the little white kitty." Qin Siyu looked around after breakfast, preparing to leave but not spotting the white kitten.

"It went out to find something to eat."

Find something to eat? Qin Siyu blinked, nodding in regret as she couldn’t take the kitty to school to scam some food.

With the recent crisis resolved and the Giant Demon Association handled, Yidu was quite safe, making Jiang Hou less worried about Qin Siyu going out alone.

Just then, Jiang Hou’s phone vibrated slightly as Zong Zheng Nan Mo mentioned him in the group chat.

"Jiang Hou, are you going to school today?"

"Not today, I have other things." Gently reminded by Jiang Ruochan’s words yesterday, Jiang Hou planned to study how to refine his ’Martial Dao.’

After all, he had nothing else to do during the daytime.

His body had broken through to Tier Four, condensing a legendary ’something’ akin to the Ren and Du Meridians, capable of absorbing ambient energy to mildly fortify his body.

Perhaps he could attempt creating a own cultivation technique to speed up his practice, or even directly embark on a path to immortality!

"I see, I was going to ask you to bring a sick leave note." Zong Zheng Nan Mo replied.

Jiang Hou was somewhat surprised: "What, do you have something too? Besides, the teachers know you’re a member of the Celestial Punishment, so whether you take leave or not isn’t really important."

"Haha, I almost forgot I’m already an official member, being so used to being a student."

"As for the reason for the leave, this morning I did a fortune-telling, and it advised against traveling, predicting great misfortune," replied Zong Zheng Nan Mo with a lingering fear.

Jiang Hou also recalled his fortune-telling activities, "Come to think of it, haven’t your recent fortunes been pretty good? Haven’t heard of you running into any bad luck."

"Yes, lately the fortunes have all been favorable for travel, with several minor good omens, and no downward predictions. That’s why today’s fortune was frightening enough to keep me from stepping out."

"It’s like the good luck is fading, and bad luck is starting to descend."

"You really should be careful then."

Ever since awakening, Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s accuracy with daily fortunes reached fifty percent, but unfortunately, the bad ones tended to come true more than the good ones.

The two chatted briefly before Jiang Hou resumed his breakfast.

But before he finished, he received another call, this time from Divine Palace Feiyue.

Jiang Hou was a little surprised, "Senior Sister Shengong, what’s the matter?"

On the other end, Divine Palace Feiyue’s voice came through, "Rou and I are preparing to leave Yidu, and before we go, there are some things I felt I should tell you."

Leave! Jiang Hou was taken aback; weren’t the people from the Giant Demon Association already wiped out? Why leave?

However, puzzled as he was, Jiang Hou agreed to meet, arranging for 9:30 at a high-end café by the river.

After tidying up simply, Jiang Hou, dressed in gray pants and a white long-sleeve tee, headed out, hailing a cab by the roadside. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As soon as he got in, the middle-aged driver friendly remarked, "Young man, you look quite polished; heading out at this hour mustn’t be for work, eh? Off to a date with your girlfriend?"

The saying goes that the outward appearance reflects the inner self, and as Jiang Hou’s strength enhanced, his body continually strengthened, leading to significant changes.

With well-defined, handsome facial features, fair skin, and a steady gaze in his bright eyes, alongside strands of reddish hair, he appeared stylish and attractive.

An intangible sense of pressure seemingly emanated from him, making him look more like an exceptionally promising youth rather than a high school senior.

Jiang Hou casually replied, "Not at all, just meeting a friend for coffee."

The driver laughed heartily, "With my years of experience, that friend must be a really pretty girl, right?"

Jiang Hou smiled faintly, "Well, she is a woman, but not particularly pretty."

Though Divine Palace Feiyue had decent features, her somewhat dark complexion made her more of an acquired taste.

Having guessed wrong twice, the cab driver felt a bit awkward, so he changed the subject and started chatting with Jiang Hou about other things, like the disturbance in the old city the night before last.

His residential area wasn’t far from the old city, and he witnessed a few people turning into monsters, a scene that had given him nightmares for days.

That said, as Jiang Hou glanced out the window, he noticed that society seemed largely unchanged from a few days ago; people went about their business as usual.

Just that some new topics cropped up over meals, like warning against touching unknown objects to avoid contamination.

Otherwise, these ordinary folks had no clue that Yidu had so many extraordinary powerhouses, inexplicably finding comfort in that and feeling more confident in their casual bragging.

Casual chatting brought Jiang Hou to his destination, a private room on the second floor with a view of the river.

Led by the waiter, Jiang Hou entered the room where Divine Palace Feiyue, already present, withdrew her gaze, turned back, and smiled, "Here you are, please sit; their Heartfelt Coffee tastes pretty good."

As she spoke, the waiter had already closed the door and left. Jiang Hou picked up the steaming coffee with a rose design on the surface, took a sip, and realized it indeed tasted good.

But today, he didn’t come just for coffee.

Jiang Hou curiously asked, "Senior, didn’t we already handle the Giant Demon Association? Why do you still need to leave? Are you wary of the association president with the splitting talent?"

On the public side, being a Tier Five Powerhouse, Divine Palace Feiyue’s departure would greatly diminish the Yidu City Branch’s strength, which wouldn’t bode well for the upcoming Demon God invasion.

On a personal note, Divine Palace Feirou and Qin Siyu were good friends; if she left, the girl would surely feel a bit regretful.

Divine Palace Feiyue gave a faint, bitter smile and softly shook her head, "It’s not about the Giant Demon Association; what concerns me is the Demon Dragon Divine Hall behind them."

"The involvement of the Giant Demon Association, along with their possession of Seal Stones capable of detecting the ancient relics within us, indicates that Rou and I have been exposed."

"It’s just that the Demon Dragon Divine Hall’s experts are occupied by front-line wars and can’t come over, so they only sent subordinate forces to investigate and search. Once found, they’d dispatch powerhouses over."

"Hence, I must leave with Rou before the Demon Dragon Divine Hall’s formidable beings arrive, as we still have some loose ends to tie up. So it’ll be the day after tomorrow afternoon’s flight."

"I see."

Upon hearing about the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, Jiang Hou’s expression also grew grave. The stronger he became, the more deeply apprehensive he felt about such transcendent powers as the Demon Dragon Divine Hall.

Facing such a colossal entity, unless the top-tier powerhouses of Celestial Punishment personally intervene and make agreements with their top-tier counterparts, it’s indeed safer for Divine Palace Feiyue and the rest to leave and hide.

Though this is Celestial Punishment’s turf, Yidu, being close to the border, is just a regular branch.

Should the Demon Dragon Divine Hall’s experts infiltrate and swiftly take away the Divine Palace sisters, Celestial Punishment Headquarters’ fury afterward would be futile.

"This time I asked you here to talk about Yu merging with the Divine Origin."

"Divine Origin, what’s that?" Jiang Hou was puzzled.

"Seems she didn’t tell you, or perhaps Yu herself doesn’t know its use. Those two have such bold spirits." Divine Palace Feiyue smiled wryly.
