Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 418: Seizing Ability, Spiraling into Madness (II)
Chapter 418: Seizing Ability, Spiraling into Madness (II)
In the World of Water and Fire, where dark red light flashed, the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor exited its epiphany state after half a day as the energy granted by the attribute points burned out.
In its golden vertical pupils, a complex, complete ability rune slowly rotated—the rune of the Six-Armed Demonic Ape's Gigantification ability.
This ability rune, reconstituted from incomplete sequence chains, was different from basic runes, being far more intricate and representing a specific skill.
Moreover, it wasn't inscribed on its scales, but within its muscles and bones, requiring the sequence chains of the rune to fully condense and cover the entire body to enter the gigantification state.
Before cultivating, the Thunder Emperor had to adjust the core structure of the rune to match its form. With the Demonic Ape being the original core form, some of the sequence chains involving six arms and a tail were different.
Chen Chu was experienced in adjusting the structure and form of ability runes, having created his own secret scripture and adjusted runic phantoms before. If successful, the Thunder Emperor would likely gain a new ability—the Gigantification ability.
Its eyes gleamed with excitement. If this succeeded, it meant a new path to acquiring abilities—seizing them from colossal beasts without the need for evolution.
This was, in essence, the embryonic form of true martial arts, where high-level human arts also involved condensing the ability runes of colossal beasts, eventually reconstituting the body and birthing abilities in the Eighth Heavenly Realm.
However, due to the completeness of the human cultivation system, the path differed greatly from the evolution of colossal beasts.
With this in mind, Chen Chu decisively commanded in his mind, Consume 1,000 attribute points and activate the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor's epiphany state.
Instantly, the attribute page showed 3,420 points, and the energy converted from the attribute points passed through the soul passage, enveloping the Thunder Emperor once again.
This time, Chen Chu immersed almost all of his consciousness into that space, preparing to complete the rune structure adjustment in one go.
Faced with the chance for the Thunder Emperor to directly gain the Gigantification ability, he didn't hold back on attribute points. Or rather, he didn't need to—reserving 1,000 points would be sufficient.
Because the time window for the path to divinity was short, burning 1,000 attribute points for about eight hours of epiphany was enough for him to charge forward without hesitation.
In the epiphany state, a phantom of vitality perfectly aligned with the Thunder Emperor's body data appeared in its mind, followed by the Gigantification ability rune.
The Gigantification rune rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive rune over a hundred meters long. It broke down into numerous sequence chains, covering the Thunder Emperor's phantom.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as the sequence chains touched the Thunder Emperor, hundreds of them suddenly collapsed due to conflicting with the powers of other abilities, causing both the sequence chains and the colossal beast phantom to shatter.
Again.
Quickly, under the concentration of the Thunder Emperor's vitality, the phantom reappeared.
In such a short time, Chen Chu had already completed the reorganization, optimization, and adjustment of those hundreds of sequence chains. He continued to overlay them...
Boom!
The vitality phantom collapsed once more.
Each time the vitality phantom shattered, the Thunder Emperor would unleash terrifying power fluctuations in front of the ice crystal palace, causing the air to explode and the ice to shatter.
These powerful fluctuations alarmed the Nine-Headed Serpent, Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, and Single-Horned Kun, all of whom were cultivating in their distant palaces. One by one, they poked their heads out.
Squeak! Thunder Fiery is cultivating so hard.
Roar! So monstrous! Even though it's already so strong, it still works so hard. Thunder Fiery really is a freak.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Work hard, cultivate, don't fall behind, all nine of us, let's go.
Amid chaotic roars, one of Ghidorah’s black dragon heads fiercely slammed into the sleeping black-horned head.
Bang!
The powerful collision caused an explosion in the air, and the sleeping dragon head was suddenly confused, letting out a low growl. Roar! Wait, isn't it my turn to sleep?
When one head spoke, Ghidorah's language was relatively coherent. The eight other heads let out chaotic growls. Roar! Roar! Roar! Get up, cultivate, Ghidorah, rise up.
Stimulated by the Thunder Emperor, the other colossal beasts began to work even harder. The crazy cultivation atmosphere spread, sweeping all the colossal beasts into a frenzy of training.
Meanwhile, under the night sky, three mutated orcas, each nearly fifty meters long, were confronting a group of mutated beasts on the sea's surface.
Two of the mutated orcas had bodies covered in flames and scales adorned with fiery patterns, while the third orca, pitch black, lurked underwater.
Not far away, more than a dozen mutated orcas, each between ten to twenty meters long and ranging in level from 4 to 6, slapped the seawater with their black and white-scaled bodies.
These orcas formed a normal pod, while a smaller group like the Kun family was rarer.

Squeak! Brothers and sisters, I am General Hu Yi of the Dragon Palace's Cavalry. The Dragon Palace is recruiting soldiers, would you like to join?
The thirty-meter-long, late-stage level 6 male orca on the opposite side hesitated before letting out a deep sound. Squeak! What is the Dragon Palace?
Squeak! The Dragon Palace is the ruler of these seas, an empire formed by five colossal beasts of levels 8 and 9, with immense power.
Hu San spoke up. Squeak! Our father is one of the five dragon kings, titled the King of Black and White. He's super strong. One day, I will defeat him and become a great general.
Hu Er also spoke up. Squeak! Brothers and sisters, once you join the Dragon Palace, you'll live a life of luxury with us, eating a big meal every three days.
As a fellow species, these orcas naturally felt a sense of kinship with Hu Yi and its group. Upon hearing about the Dragon Palace's great strength, especially that one of their kind was a dragon king, the male orca hesitated only briefly before agreeing to join.
Of course, what tipped the scales was that they'd heard of a terrifying group of monsters in this sea, killing any beast they saw. It was truly frightening. Since the Dragon Palace's forces included a king from their own species, it seemed formidable enough to follow.
Excited to recruit their first group of subordinates, Hu Yi exclaimed. Squeak! Let's go, let's continue recruiting beasts.
Soon, a dozen mutated orcas burst through the water, swimming toward another orca pod's territory.
That night, everyone was busy. At the edge of the ruins, Li Daoyi, bathed in lightning, was recovering his energy with two energy crystals.
In another direction, before a mech standing over forty meters tall, Gabriella lifted her battle suit's left arm, revealing dozens of subspace bracelets underneath.
She jumped onto the mech's shoulder, filling it with one-meter-long, thirty-centimeter-diameter high-explosive rune missiles. Next, she loaded in twenty-centimeter caliber armor-piercing explosive rounds and replaced the energy crystals in the micro power reactors on the back and joints.
After loading all of the ammunition, the blonde girl, standing on the mech's shoulder, wore a faint smile.
Indeed, when the ammunition of a mech cultivator was depleted, their combat power would drop a level, relying only on the mech for close combat as a large warrior. However, what if the subspace equipment she prepared was enough, and the ammunition was sufficient?
As night turned to day, the sunless sky over the ruins gradually brightened.
Once again, the figures who had rested and recovered rushed back into the ruins. Today, however, most of their targets had shifted.
With their places on the path to divinity already secured, these geniuses began to consciously search the ruins, hoping to uncover some inheritances.
Among them was Ji Wuji, dressed in a white robe, who transformed into a white divine dragon at dawn and soared into the ruins.
“Today, I will kill everything in sight and become number one in the world.”
Last night, Ji Wuji became thrilled when he learned about the leaderboard.
Meanwhile, Xia Youhui, who had rested in the Oasis, along with Lin Xue and her sister Lin Yu, also got ready and began their second day of exploration. The Lin sisters flew toward a mountain peak dozens of kilometers away with a clear target in mind.
Before dark yesterday, using a remote-controlled drone with a one-kilometer range for aerial observation, they had spotted traces of ruined buildings on the mountain's slope from afar.
These buildings were covered in vines and moss, almost impossible to detect without close inspection, and had only been found through automated image comparison by their smart search equipment.
While everyone else was starting their new day’s efforts, Chen Chu, who had made a significant impact the previous night, did not deploy. Instead, he focused all of his attention on the Thunder Emperor.
He wanted to see if the Thunder Emperor could acquire new abilities through this method.
Even if successful in obtaining the Gigantification ability, it would still be inferior to the Six-Armed Demonic Ape due to the incomplete nature of the rune. As long as Chen chu could form an ability, however, it would be sufficient.
