I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 154 - 149: Heaven-Departing Golden Flame

In the ruined grand hall, the Dark Armored Giant Ape in its beast form sat before the body of the Demon Fox, red and black flames jumping off its body, radiating intense heat.

The Dark Armored Giant Ape opened its large mouth wide, its sharp teeth biting into the dry and hard body of the Dark Fox Demon, producing booming explosions.

And it was indeed an explosion, as its fangs penetrated the skin and flesh of the Demon God, it was like squeezing through layers of ’space’, requiring a great effort.

As a Late-tier Six life form on the path from Extraordinary to Saint, its body already contained a trace of spatial characteristics.

Rip!

A large piece of dry and hard fascia material was torn off, slowly chewed, and swallowed. Soon a rich and astonishing energy spread within the Dark Armored Giant Ape.

On the shattered stone pillar over a hundred meters tall, a black-haired girl in a black coat stood firm.

Noticing the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s aura significantly strengthened, she marveled, "Jiang Hou, is your talent for growing stronger just by eating the talent of a Heaven and Earth Giant Beast?"

"...Yes." The Dark Armored Giant Ape paused slightly, then nodded with a low growl.

"According to some ancient texts I’ve found, each of those Heaven and Earth Giant Beasts is endlessly gigantic, when they sleep it’s as if a mountain range lies across the land."

"It seems that the ability of those Heaven and Earth Beasts to grow so gigantic can’t be separated from this talent of growing stronger by eating."

Listening to Jiang Ruochan’s soft murmuring, the Dark Armored Giant Ape, feeling she misunderstood something, didn’t respond and buried its head in devouring the remaining body of the Dark Demon Fox.

After all, in this world, it is the only one of its kind, and it can say whatever it likes.

This Demon God now only has some fascia left on the torso, the limbs were almost skin and bones with no meat left, so there wasn’t much to eat.

As for the bones... the Dark Armored Giant Ape tried biting a vertebra, and the hard bones nearly chipped one of its teeth.

But apart from the backbone, smaller ones like ribs could be slowly chewed to pieces.

Over the following half day, under the curious gaze of Jiang Ruochan, the Dark Armored Giant Ape consumed almost the entire Dark Fox Demon, leaving only a piece of giant backbone over a hundred meters long and the limb and skull bones.

The energy it converted was more than the Dark Armored Giant Ape expected, causing it to grow from sixty to sixty-five point three meters, its aura skyrocketing to the Late-tier Six.

Huff!!

The Dark Armored Giant Ape exhaled a hot breath, feeling the terrifying power within it growing several times over, the ’simple’ breakthrough to Late-tier Six left it a bit dazed.

Additionally, with the Stone Bead in hand which could absorb Celestial Fire, it seemed that it had benefited the most from this Demon God invasion?

At this moment, Jiang Ruochan from a distance spoke again: "Have you finished eating? If so, let’s go back, there are still matters to handle outside."

The Dark Armored Giant Ape extended a finger, writing on the ground: "I have something to take care of too. President, why don’t you head back first?"

Watching the Dark Armored Giant Ape heft the Demon Fox’s backbone and prepare to leave, Jiang Ruochan’s gaze shifted slightly: "When you say ’something’, you mean going to collect Celestial Fire!"

The Dark Armored Giant Ape nodded, writing on the ground: "...Unbelievable, President, nothing escapes you."

As someone also bearing an inherited mark, Jiang Ruochan not only had strength that surpassed Jiang Hou, but her knowledge in every area far exceeded his.

Earlier Jiang Hou had explicitly sought the Celestial Fire Stone Bead, and now as he left with business to attend, she deduced he intended to collect Celestial Fire.

However, Jiang Ruochan was only a little surprised before she no longer took notice.

Absorbing Celestial Fire and activating the Stone Bead was just a potent ’magical artifact’. In the absence of awakening the legacy of the Celestial Fire Era, it only showed significant improvement for those below seventh tier. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

......

The entrance of a flaming hot magma cavern, hundreds of meters wide and tall, appeared once more with the Dark Armored Giant Ape carrying the Dark Demon Fox’s backbone.

At this point, two hours had passed since it and Jiang Ruochan parted ways at the entrance, locating itself through the direction of tunnel number 2, crossing over six hundred kilometers.

Ruins and the reality world were like counterparts, nearby tunnel entrances weren’t far apart.

However, the ruin was vastly more expansive. In Yidu, the small tunnel number 2 and this large tunnel were only ten kilometers apart, but over here, the distance expanded several dozen times.

In contemplation, the Dark Armored Giant Ape walked in with heavy footsteps.

Boom! Deep within the cave, hot rocks shattered as the Dark Armored Giant Ape collided with them, the fragments splattering into the magma river and bursting into large sparks.

Compared to the past, the hundred-meter-wide tunnel now seemed a bit narrow to the Dark Armored Giant Ape, smashing stalagmites with each step.

Especially upon reaching the branch leading to the Magma Lake, the Giant Ape even needed to stoop to pass through.

Half an hour later, the fiery Magma Lake came into the view of the Dark Armored Giant Ape, and occasionally a Fire Fish with a third-tier aura would leap from the lake surface, splashing fiery sparks as it landed.

These Fire Fish likely swam from elsewhere, though, now these small Kami didn’t interest the Dark Armored Giant Ape.

Boom! The Magma Lake shook as the massive Dark Armored Giant Ape walked into it, each step set off waves of blazing lake fire, a sight to behold.

Fortunately, with its increased strength, the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s control over magma improved slightly as well.

Otherwise, with its current size and weight, it would have long sunk to the bottom of the lake.

A massive dark red flame lotus hundreds of meters in diameter burned fiercely, with a golden liquid flame jumping at its center, emanating terrifying heat that distorted the space around it.

The surrounding flame lotus was merely a projection of Celestial Fire Power, but when the Dark Armored Giant Ape tentatively reached out to touch it,

Boom! A raging hot force exploded, the intense heat instantly singing the black fur on the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s hand to a yellowish color.

"It’s not just high temperature, but also contains an explosive repulsive force." The Dark Armored Giant Ape growled lowly, excitement gleaming in its eyes as it gazed at the golden liquid flame.

Actually, the energy contained in this mass of Celestial Fire didn’t seem all that potent, but its flame attributes were extremely overpowering and domineering; even at this point, the Dark Armored Giant Ape dared not easily touch it.

No wonder in that distant era, the strong of that time needed a ’supreme treasure’ to collect Celestial Fire.

Nevertheless... the Dark Armored Giant Ape opened its left hand, revealing a tiny gray Stone Bead as small as a grain of sand, directly inserting it into the flame lotus’ energy projection.

Buzz!

The Stone Bead, crafted from unknown materials, vibrated slightly upon contact with the Celestial Fire’s power, the ancient rune in a flame shape engraved on its surface lighting up.

Instantly, an invisible suction emerged from the Stone Bead, commencing the devouring of the surrounding flame’s power.

Whoosh! Whoosh!! This suction grew increasingly stronger, like a black hole, emitting a mighty gravitational pull that began reshaping the flame lotus, disturbing the golden liquid flame within its center.

As torrents of scorching fire power poured in, the originally gray Stone Bead emitted a faint glow, with golden flames dancing on its surface, slowly detaching itself from the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s grasp.

This supreme treasure seemed innately opposed to Celestial Fire, madly devouring the dark red flame power around it, forming a vortex, gradually moving toward the liquid golden fire.

No resistance, no earth-shattering explosion.

Over ten minutes passed, and the golden liquid fire was absorbed by the black hole-like Stone Bead. In its place, a golden and white pearl enflamed with golden flames hovered, emitting a magnificent halo.

With the Stone Bead binding it, the originally destructively hot golden flame suddenly became gentle.

When the Dark Armored Giant Ape grasped the golden white Divine Pearl, only a sense of warmth flowed in.

"This is truly one thing overcoming the other, how magical." The Dark Armored Giant Ape let out a low growl, without hesitation, swallowed the golden white pearl whole.

Boom!

At the instant the Celestial Fire Stone Bead was swallowed, the flames enveloping the Dark Armored Giant Ape surged tenfold, erupting from a state of burning into an explosive spout, its color shifting to gold, emanating phenomenal heat.

Heaven-Departing Golden Flame, Azure Nether Profound Heaven! The Dark Armored Giant Ape’s low growl rumbled forth.

Heaven-Departing Golden Flame referred to the mass of Celestial Fire, while Azure Nether Profound Heaven referred to the reactivated Stone Bead, or perhaps it wasn’t even a pearl, but a ’world’.

A divine artifact containing the power of a complete world.

No wonder it could collect and control Celestial Fire, only a supreme treasure embedding the power of a micro-world could bear the might of Celestial Fire.

Also no wonder ancient relics from the Celestial Fire Era were in such high demand, snapped up from the heavenly punishment redemption page the instant they appeared.

Such divine artifacts containing the power of a world, even without the Celestial Fire’s reactivation, were of immense value.

But at that moment, the Dark Armored Giant Ape merely swallowed it into its body, with the Celestial Fire and Divine Pearl yet unrefined.

Now the Celestial Fire Supreme Treasure was like a miniature sun, orbiting in the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s stomach, releasing gentle Celestial Fire energy, bit by bit merging into the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s body.

It’s just that the fusion pace was somewhat slow...
