Chapter 333: Emperor-Level Lifeform, Bloodline Evolution, One Person Destroys a Civilization? (II)
Whoosh!
The purple liquid entered the Thunder Beast's body, instantly transforming into intangible life energy that spread throughout and slightly heated up the pseudo-Dragon Emperor's bloodline within it.
Then... nothing else.
No, there was a subtle change—the Thunder Beast’s head showed some slight adjustments, resembling an eastern dragon more closely.
Overall, however, its strength had only been slightly enhanced, as its life level was already close to emperor-level.
The Thunder Beast growled. Roar! These substances are condensed from the dragon egg's life aura and can stimulate your bloodlines to evolve. They are beneficial even for Saixitia.
Squeak, squeak! Bloodline evolution, I want to evolve!
When it heard that, the Kun became very excited, its large fins splashing the water into waves.
The other colossal beasts felt similarly, including the Silver Dragon, whose eyes turned red, as enhancing its bloodline was very difficult.
Roar! These liquids contain true dragon power, but they’re useless to me. You all can have them, but the flesh of that beast is mine.
Ghidorah's eight heads let out chaotic growls. Roar! Roar! Roar! I, no objection, meat, Ao Ba, eat.
Roar! I don't like meat; Thunder Fiery, you can have it.
The other mutated beasts had no objections, either. After all, the Thunder Beast had been the main force in slaying the Tiger Serpent, so it taking the lion's share was reasonable.
In the end, this harvest was satisfying for everyone. The purple liquid was useless to the Thunder Beast, but the life essence and vast energy in the Tiger Serpent's flesh would accelerate its growth.
The other beasts, lacking evolutionary abilities, wouldn't gain as much from consuming it.
Under the Thunder Beast's distribution, the purple substances were divided into four portions. The Silver Dragon and the Serpent received slightly more, while the Dragon Turtle and the Kun received less, based on their contributions in the battle to ensure fairness.
After the four beasts consumed the small amounts of purple substances, their bloodline auras exploded, and they immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Stimulated by the emperor-level life force, their bloodlines became very active, and they would likely gain some growth upon waking; unfortunately, there was too little of the life substance to perform a full bloodline level enhancement
As it thought about this, the Thunder Beast gazed at the egg.
An emperor-level lifeform's egg... If it could hatch, the resulting life would be unimaginably powerful. Would it immediately become king-level? Hm, probably not that strong.
The Thunder Beast shook its head, dismissing the exaggerated thought.
Having a high life stage only meant a high starting point; it didn't mean being born strong. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a concept of growth, and mythical colossal beasts would just be producing more mythical colossal beasts.
The Thunder Beast stepped into the lake, causing the surrounding lava to explode and form waves of fire that surged in all directions.
However, when these hot waves approached the egg, they were blocked by an invisible force field, creating a three-meter-wide fire-free zone.
When the Thunder Beast extended its claw toward the invisible barrier, however, it felt only slight resistance before grasping the small egg.
The life force was weak. With a thought, the Thunder Beast mobilized energy from deep within its flesh, condensing it into pure life energy that enveloped the egg.
This was the first emperor-level lifeform it had encountered. If it could save the egg, it would have significant research value.
Hum!
As the Thunder Beast’s life energy enveloped the egg, it only took a few seconds for the egg to respond.
Hum!
The egg vibrated slightly, emitting a strong suction force and greedily absorbing the surrounding life energy as if it were drinking milk. Soon, its life aura strengthened a bit.
However, the Thunder Beast then dispersed the condensed life energy, its massive body swaying slightly as it exhaled a hot breath.
Roar! You're too demanding, the Thunder Beast couldn't help but growl.
Hum!
The egg vibrated, sending out a faint signal that it wanted more. Clearly, it already contained a life form, but for some unknown reason, its life force was continually draining, preventing it from fully hatching.
Roar! That's enough. Wait until I recover.
The Thunder Beast didn't pay further attention to it. In just a short time, the egg had absorbed almost a tenth of its life energy, equivalent to one portion of its essence.
This made the already not fully recovered Thunder Beast even weaker. Naturally, it wouldn't foolishly continue providing life energy. The egg would have to wait until it recovered.
Boom!
The Thunder Beast placed the egg back in the lake and stomped back onto land with a thunderous noise. Scalding lava flowed through the gaps in its scales, splashing sparks as it fell to the ground.
Returning to the ancient Tiger Serpent's corpse, the Thunder Beast grabbed the massive body and took a huge bite, breaking through the two-meter-thick scales with a crunch.
Immediately, the rich aroma of blood and flesh filled its mouth. The Thunder Beast chewed twice before gulping it down.
Boom!
Vast biological energy exploded from its stomach, quickly absorbed by its cells and converted into nutrients for its growth. As the Thunder Beast devoured the flesh in huge bites, its massive, fearsome body began to visibly grow.
The flesh of a level 9 colossal beast was indeed extraordinary, but what was even more astonishing was the Thunder Beast's energy conversion efficiency and the speed of its physical growth and evolution, which defied biological growth principles.
Boom!
When the Thunder Beast's body length exceeded eighty meters, an even more powerful aura exploded from it, the oppressive force shattering the surrounding ground and causing the sea waves to churn.
It had reached the middle stage of level 8. However, it had only consumed a tenth of the Tiger Serpent’s flesh. The Thunder Beast continued to devour it, each bite producing a metallic tearing sound.
At level 9, even a dead colossal beast’s body was incredibly tough, impervious to blades and guns and filled with monstrous power. Eating such a mutated beast was comparable to eating alloy; the only difference was that alloy would just dissolve into a puddle of waste with no nutritional value in the Thunder Beast’s stomach.
For ordinary people or low-level cultivators, consuming even a little of this flesh would not only be indigestible, but would also cause their bodies to explode from the destructive energy contained within.
As the Thunder Beast continued to eat, its body kept growing. Eighty-one meters, eighty-two meters... Meanwhile, its evolution points kept skyrocketing.
At the hotel, late at night, Chen Chu stood quietly on the balcony, looking at the now-silent city with a calm expression. The invisible aura emanating from him grew stronger and more oppressive.
After reaching level 8, each growth spurt the Thunder Beast underwent provided Chen Chu with even more evolutionary energy. It continuously flowed through the soul passage, relentlessly enhancing every cell in his body and causing them to divide, compress, and evolve madly.
On the attribute page, his Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit attributes were constantly fluctuating, increasing by over a hundred points in just one hour. At one point, the invisible aura of power around Chen Chu dispersed, causing the air to explode and forming gusts of wind blowing in all directions.
As his physical body kept enhancing, the Hidden Divinity rune couldn’t fully conceal his aura. Only after his body finished strengthening would his aura return to normal.
All of this happened in silence. No one could have imagined that at Chen Chu’s current level of cultivation and strength, he could still improve at such a terrifying speed.
This was his advantage: time was on his side. It didn’t matter if it was the demon cultists or even the gods of the cult or the Purgatory Demon Clan. The longer time dragged on, the stronger Chen Chu would become.
His increasingly powerful body, combined with the supernatural powers he gained from cultivating true martial arts, resulted in a terrifying synergy.
Chen Chu was like a humanoid colossal beast, one that could cultivate. This was equivalent to simultaneously advancing along the paths of physical evolution and mastery of laws.
This was why, despite the rapid progress and already formidable power of the Thunder Beast avatar, Chen Chu still worked so hard to cultivate. He wanted to see how far he could go with these two great advantages.
Would he be able to shatter a king with one punch after breaking through to the king-level, and surpass even the Heavenly Kings? Or, after breaking through beyond the Heavenly King level, would he be able to single-handedly annihilate the Purgatory Clan and destroy an entire civilization?
