Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

By the way, Your Majesties, do you want to decide your dragon king title yourselves, or would you like me to come up with one for you?

In the skies above, five massive colossal beasts were in flight. Among them, the Destructive Dragon Emperor's form was the largest by far, followed by the Azure-White Colossal Dragon and the Crystalline Red Colossal Dragon.

The Silver Colossal Dragon and the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, trailing behind the three, looked like junior tagalongs. In addition, because both of their mothers were present, even the usually unruly Silver Dragon behaved rather obediently, refraining from bombarding the skies with wild power.

Earlier, after learning more about the situation in the Dragon Palace, and with its daughter and friends joining the cause, the Red Dragon had hesitated only briefly before accepting the Dragon Emperor's invitation. Now, the five colossal beasts were making their way back toward the Chaotic Region.

Facing the Dragon Emperor's question, the radiant Red Dragon considered briefly, then let out a low growl.My dragon king title shall be Lord of Mountains.

The Red Dragon wielded laws such as Petrification and the Earth. Through the fusion of these abilities, it commanded the power of mountains and earth, including gravity. Though it was only at the late stage of the titan level, within the territory it had refined using the power of heaven and earth, its strength nearly reached the peak of that realm.

It was very powerful. Of course, that strength was only relative to other colossal beasts. To the current Dragon Emperor, it was still something that could be crushed with one bite.

Just then, the Azure-White Dragon in the distance, its wings spread wide and surrounded by white frost mist, said with a deep growl,My title shall be the Dragon King of Frozen Destruction.

The moment it finished speaking, the Silver Dragon behind it roared proudly.Mother, your title is too simple. It's nowhere near as domineering as the great Saixitia's! And Aunty Kaotina, your title isn't as cool-sounding as Thorsafi's Crystal Dragon King.

The Golden-Blue Dragon rolled its eyes.Saixitia, stop giving me random names. My real title is Celestial Annihilator Dragon King.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While the colossal dragons continued to chat, they plunged into the murky, dim Chaotic Region. The gravity there, a hundred times greater than that of the outer world, instantly enveloped all five colossal beasts. However, they completely ignored the gravitational pressure. Before long, they entered the Chaotic Sea and descended above the inner sea world.

Looking down from above, the massive Ancient Clams spread open across the inner sea world. The Dragon Emperor's massive form came to a halt.This is the temporary base camp of the empire, where the Dragon Palace is located. Alius and the others have all set out to campaign through the Chaotic Region. Adrienna, are you planning to remain in the Dragon Palace or head in a specific direction?

The Azure-White Dragon and the Red Dragon exchanged glances. It gave a low growl.Since we have joined the empire, as dragon kings, we have the responsibility to contribute to its growth.

As it spoke, the Azure-White Dragon turned its gaze toward the Silver Dragon. The Silver Dragon shrank back slightly.The great Saixitia and Ao Tian will form one team. We won't be going with you and Aunty Kaotina.

I-I'll go with Thunder Fiery's group too.The Golden-Blue Dragon edged closer to the Dragon Emperor under the Red Dragon's glance.

The Azure-White and Red Dragons exchanged another look and gave a small shake of their heads.Fine then. You younger dragons probably have more to talk about with each other.

The two massive dragons let out majestic roars, declaring their presence to the alien races below, then turned and flew toward the deeper parts of the Chaotic Region.

They didn't bring level 9 colossal beasts as bait. According to the Azure-White Dragon, the Red Dragon possessed a keen sense of perception and had an ability for detecting powerful nearby creatures.

Once the two dragons disappeared beyond the horizon, the Silver Dragon finally let out a long breath.Damn it. With Mother around, the great Saixitia never feels like I have the dignity of the great dragon king.

The Golden-Blue Dragon gave it a strange look. Saixitia, when have you ever had dignity?

At once, the Silver Dragon snarled fiercely.Thorsafi, what do you mean by that? Are you looking for another duel with the great Saixitia?

The Golden-Blue Dragon raised its head arrogantly and scoffed with a roar.I'm not scared, let's do it.

The two colossal dragons flew on either side of the Dragon Emperor. The tension between them rose sharply, and they seemed ready to fight at any moment. The Dragon Emperor could only shake its head.Enough. That's enough fooling around. We still have serious business to handle.

With that, the Dragon Emperor stretched out its massive claws and, with a light but firm grip, caught each of the two dragons between the neck and shoulder. Its body sank slightly.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor, holding the two dragons down, descended from the sky and pierced through the world barrier, entering the inner sea world. There, a colossal beast army numbering in the thousands was respectfully waiting.

On the sea below, a black orca over 210 meters long, now in the middle stage of level 9, approached excitedly. Its massive wingspan cast a shadow, and its body had grown even more formidable and feral.Uncle, Uncle, you're back!

Behind the orca, the female orca, now a level 8 colossal beast, let out a respectful call.Greetings to the great king.

The Dragon Emperor gave a small nod as it looked at the comparatively tiny black orca below. It let out a low growl.Hu San, how is the crystal collection?

Back when the Dragon Emperor first ventured deep into the Chaotic Region, it had ordered the orcas to continue gathering Life Crystals. However, when it returned earlier, the black orca primarily in charge of that task hadn't been present, so it had only sent someone to issue a summons.

The black orca nodded and squeaked,I led the others to gather many crystals. They're all with Little Hime. Little Hime, bring the storage pouch.

Yes, Leader!Compared to the other transcendent colossal beasts that trembled under the Dragon Emperor's draconic pressure, the two orcas acted much more casually and naturally. The pressure from an emperor-level or even heavenly-tier bloodline was something they had long grown used to.

As before, a "backpack" containing spatial energy hung from the little orca's dorsal fin. This time, however, the backpack had turned white, clearly indicating an upgrade in equipment along with her growth in power.

The Dragon Emperor activated its will, lifting the bag with a thread of force. It casually asked,By the way, Hu San, where are Hu Yi and Hu Er?

Those two idiots? I've no idea where they ran off to.

Fine.

The Dragon Emperor gave a slight nod and sent its consciousness into the white spatial pouch. Immediately, a mountain of high-level Life Crystals appeared before it.

Its lips curled upward, revealing a menacing grin.Not bad, Hu San. Go to the Red-Patterned Divine Tree later and claim three fruits.Also, your father brought back something nice for you this time. Don't forget to go find him and ask for it.

Thank you, Uncle!The black orca became visibly excited.

The Red Divine Tree that served as the pillar of this micro-world condensed top-level divine fruits that could enhance even mythical colossal beasts. It was especially valuable for a level 9 colossal beast like the black orca. In the past, however, very few divine fruits had been produced, not even enough for the Silver Dragon and the others to share.

Yet after receiving its reward, the black orca didn't immediately leave. Instead, it playfully slapped its tail.Uncle, Uncle, my soldiers worked really hard too. Without their help, there's no way I could've gathered so many crystals in such a short time.

The Dragon Emperor let out a slow growl.The empire has never been stingy when it comes to rewarding merit. I would never forget their contributions. Go find Baxia—No, Baxia is still breaking through. Go to the vault yourself and collect the rewards. Each one is to receive a share of ordinary top-level resources. For those with exceptional performance, give them one ordinary divine item each. You decide who deserves it based on their contributions.

Currently, the Dragon Palace vault held resources stacked like mountains, collected by the female orca and other level 9 beasts after the Dragon Emperor departed. These top-level resources and ordinary divine items no longer had much effect on those who remained behind, such as the Longjia King or Zhulong. The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle and the Nine-Headed Serpent Ghidorah had long developed resistance and could barely digest more, leaving the excess stockpiled in the vault.

Hurry and thank Uncle!

Thank you, great king!

Many thanks for the great king's blessing.

Thousands of level 8 colossal beasts roared with excitement, looking up in awe at the figure blotting out the sky. At the same time, they held deep admiration for the black orca. Their boss was incredible. It had the courage to negotiate with the terrifyingly powerful ruler of the Dragon Palace and even secured rewards for them all.

As the black orca led the beast army in a mighty procession toward the enormous Ancient Clams in the distance, the Silver Dragon, which had been quiet the whole time, looked on with some surprise.The great Saixitia realizes that Hu San seems to be getting smarter. It even knows how to win the hearts of other beasts now.

Huh? Saixitia, you actually noticed that?The Golden-Blue Dragon sounded surprised.

Damn you, Thorsafi. What do you mean by that?

Nothing. Just that you also seem a little smarter than before.

Damn it, are you saying the great Saixitia used to be a fool?

That's one way to interpret it.

Immediately, the two colossal dragons began to quarrel again. The Dragon Emperor only shook its head, too lazy to intervene. Its gaze turned to the floating white pouch in front of it.

Hum!

The three pairs of feathery horns on either side of the Dragon Emperor's head lit up. Silver spatial runes emerged on them, and golden flames surged forth, burning through the space around them.

***

Meanwhile, on the still-returning Orbital Battleship 1, Chen Chu, seated cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. His figure vanished without a sound. When he reappeared, he was already over a thousand kilometers away from the fleet.

Standing atop a towering mountain over ten thousand meters tall, spatial runes in golden-red light lit up on Chen Chu's right arm. They formed a coordinate marker, locking onto the Dragon Emperor's location.

Boom!

As spatial distortions rippled, a silver vortex a hundred meters in diameter opened up in front of the Dragon Emperor. After its ancient breakthrough, the Dragon Emperor's control over space had become far stronger; it no longer needed to anchor portals on its head to create spatial passages.

Crack!

A streak of blue thunderbolts flashed down. The white backpack disintegrated into ash, revealing a dense collection of Life Crystals, all level 4 and above. As the crystals surged forward in a stream through the spatial passage, the reverse scale beneath the Dragon Emperor's neck gave off a subtle glow. Three Chaotic Crystal Cores, each over ten meters in diameter, appeared.

These weren't Life Crystals. They contained chaotic matter capable of enhancing the bloodlines and strengthening the physique of all living beings. This also included humans. Therefore, it should have a beneficial effect on Chen Chu's main body as well, though the strength of the effect could only be known after use.
