I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 109 - 105: Apotheosis and Breath

On the land shrouded in black fog, four humans confronted the grim Giant Ape, and a heavy atmosphere immediately spread.

Of course, this heaviness was relative to Jiang Wanshan and the others.

The gap between Early-tier Four and Tier Five was too vast. Even though they were two to three hundred meters apart, with their abilities they couldn’t outrun this beast; a single leap from it would cover the distance.

However, waiting for death was not in their nature. Jiang Wanshan said solemnly, "Later, you should split up. Hongyu, you take Zong Zheng, I’ll stay behind to hold off this beast."

"Staying behind means death," Li Mo said grimly.

Jiang Wanshan’s gaze was resolute, "I am the captain, I have a responsibility to get you back. In my bag, there’s a Red Crystal Bomb; before dying, I should be able to hold off the beast for a bit."

Fu Hongyu opened his mouth slowly, "I think there’s still hope. Just now, that relic building wasn’t big; there seemed to be a collapsed passage in the depths."

"As long as we can run back...."

Li Mo shook his head in despair, "Impossible. That beast clearly excels in speed and agility; we can’t outrun it."

At this moment, Zong Zheng Nan Mo swallowed uneasily and said, trying to stay calm, "Don’t panic, my divination never fails when it comes to bad things; there must be a way."

"Also, did you notice? This beast didn’t rush over to us immediately after spotting us, nor did its eyes show intense murderous intent."

"..." The other three were stunned for a moment, then reacted.

That beast seemed to be merely watching them, without the madness driven by hatred towards life usually shown by beasts upon spotting humans, wishing to devour them.

"I feel... it seems to be looking at the crystal ore we have!" Li Mo hesitated.

Because there was so much crystal ore, the backpack was fully packed, but the buttons weren’t closed, revealing a portion.

"Now that you mention it, I feel the same. It seems to not care about us at all, but is interested in the Energy Ore we are carrying, could it be..."

Suddenly, excitement showed on their faces. Jiang Wanshan took a deep breath and said in a low tone, "Don’t move, let me try first."

With these words, Jiang Wanshan slowly took off the backpack, held it in front with both hands, and the four of them noticed the Giant Ape’s gaze following the backpack.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo exclaimed excitedly, "That’s right, its target is the crystal ore! We just need to put down the backpack and cautiously retreat, then we should be able to leave."

"Follow Zong Zheng’s advice."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s suggestion was still a bit risky, but without other options, they could only try.

With that, Fu Hongyu and the others slowly took off their backpacks, under the gaze of the Giant Ape, the trio gently placed the backpacks on the ground.

Using the three-meter-high backpack as a line blocking the sight, the four bent over and carefully retreated: "Don’t panic, slowly retreat to avoid angering the beast."

Boom boom!! In the distance, the tremors of a massive object moving were heard, making their hearts leap.

Fortunately, the grim Giant Ape wasn’t enraged, walking with heavy steps, giving them time to retreat.

Simultaneously, the four felt some relief; that black Giant Ape indeed didn’t care about them.

Gradually, their retreat speed increased. By the time the ’slow-moving’ Giant Ape arrived in front of the backpacks, they were already over two hundred meters away.

They slipped behind a giant rock on the side, disappearing from sight nearly entirely under the cover of the black mist.

Roar!

In their tense gaze from the ground, the fierce beast grabbed the three backpacks excitedly, emitting an inexplicable excited roar, its body slightly sinking.

Boom!

The ground beneath the beast cracked, and its massive form shot up into the sky with a thundering sound, turning into a shadow that vanished into the black fog in the blink of an eye, with only the booming of its landing gradually fading away into the distance.

"Did... did it just leave like that?" Fu Hongyu was dumbfounded.

The pretty red-haired woman in her twenties said irritably, "What, you wanted it to chase us?"

Fu Hongyu chuckled bitterly, "Of course not, it’s just that this beast behaved differently from those we’ve encountered before; its actions were unexpected."

"Did any of you notice, it seems like the Giant Ape forgot something," Jiang Wanshan said solemnly.

With these words, the four looked towards the black mist in the distance where a faintly visible Tier Five ferocious beast corpse lay on the ground, faces initially showing hesitation, then elation.

If they could bring back the corpse of the Tier Five ferocious beast, it’s worth at least a thousand points, although the Energy Crystal Ore from earlier was very valuable, the beast corpse was certainly more profitable.

But how would they transport such a large beast back?

Despite the giant ferocious beast appearing easy for the Dark Armored Giant Ape to handle, transporting it would be quite challenging for ordinary Transcendents.

However, they didn’t rush into action, waiting awhile to ensure the Giant Ape indeed left before cautiously approaching the beast corpse.

Jiang Wanshan and Li Mo, Early-tier Four, lifted the beast’s claws, while Fu Hongyu created solid ice on the ground, allowing the four to slowly move the thirty-plus-meter-long beast towards the entrance.

The four figures quickly disappeared into the dark fog.

It wasn’t until the four left that the silhouette of the Dark Armored Giant Ape appeared behind the slope, letting out a low growl, "These guys are too dumb. I made it so obvious, yet they took so long to respond."

"And pretending to be clueless is so hard."

The Dark Armored Giant Ape shook its head, then turned its huge body and went back in the direction it came from. It soon saw the White Fox Beast under the cliff where it had discovered two ferocious beasts.

Lying in front of the White Fox Beast was the corpse of that Tier Four Ferocious Beast.

Howl!? The White Fox Beast howled, looking at the Dark Armored Giant Ape with some confusion, as if asking where it had been for so long.

And what about that ferocious beast? Logically, a Tier Five Ferocious Beast in the early stages couldn’t escape the clutches of a Giant Ape.

"Roar! Something happened, I sold the corpse of that ferocious beast," the Dark Armored Giant Ape growled, regardless of whether the White Fox Beast could understand him. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Although the Dark Armored Giant Ape was interested in the Energy Crystal Ore, it certainly couldn’t steal from acquaintances, so it deliberately left the corpse of that Tier Five Ferocious Beast.

Eating that ferocious beast would only allow it to grow a bit in size, but the Energy Crystal Ore could enhance its deification progress.

However, the White Fox Beast obviously didn’t understand the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s ’growl,’ thinking it had lost track of the ferocious beast, the Fox Beast extended its paw and nudged the body in front of it.

"You ’eat’ this ferocious beast. After you eat it, it’s about time to go back."

"Meanwhile, I’ll also eat these things and see if there’s any change."

The Dark Armored Giant Ape slightly tilted its head upward with a low growl, tilting the three ’big’ backpacks it held with both hands, pouring more than sixty Low-Level Energy Crystal Ores into its mouth.

Crunch crunch!!

The nearly full mouth chewed the crystal ores like candy beans, mixed them with saliva, and swallowed. Soon, a thick white energy erupted from within its body.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

As the rich Elemental Energy was absorbed by its body, a massive transformation occurred inside the Dark Armored Giant Ape. Its muscles and bones gradually took on a tint of golden color.

At the same time, golden lines spread across the surface of the scales on its back, slowly forming an incomplete pattern, and a few strands of gold appeared in the thick black fur on its head.

The itch in the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s throat intensified, giving a stronger feeling that something was growing there.

This Elemental Energy caused the blood and energy throughout its body to surge, its vitality growing more robust, leading to a frenzied increase in the ’quantity’ of Golden Dominance Power and red demonic energy, more and more of it.

After an unknown amount of time, when the internal changes ended, the Dark Armored Giant Ape slowly opened its eyes, revealing a hint of regret.

The energy contained in these crystal ores was insufficient, only allowing its deification progress to increase from 4 to 57. It still lacked a small portion before reaching a hundred percent awakening of the Divine Era talent.

However, this time was not without gain. Under the ’stimulating’ evolution unique to the energy of the Divine Era, its vitality had thickened by almost thirty percent.

This seemed to be a subtle improvement on the surface, but the invisible enhancement was amazing.

For example, the dual talent eruption time became more lasting, and both the Golden Dominance Power and red demonic energy have increased by twenty percent under the blood and energy surge, invisibly extending its endurance capability.

Additionally, it seemed like something had grown, and the Dark Armored Giant Ape touched its throat, instinctively opened its mouth wide, and roared!

A thick, ferocious roar erupted, shaking the air and startling the White Fox Beast, which was focused on refining the ferocious beast’s corpse, causing it to let out a few short low growls.

Just like an angry little girl, somewhat adorable.

Roar roar roar!!

Feeling the itch in its throat, the Dark Armored Giant Ape ignored it, constantly roaring. The sound gradually became hollow, and a certain power within its body seemed to want to awaken and converge, but it also felt like it wasn’t enough.

At this moment, the fiery energy hidden in the flesh and blood of the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s entire body became restless, fiercely converging toward its throat, causing the temperature in its mouth to rise higher and higher.

Finally, with a roar, it ignited, transforming into a scorching flame that spewed out.

However, the flame, after spraying several meters, quickly lost energy, dispersing into wisps of black smoke.

Just this? The Dark Armored Giant Ape was somewhat dumbfounded by this scene, not expecting the power of this transformation to be so weak?

Of course, this was likely because the deification wasn’t complete, and the internal energy system of the Divine Era hadn’t been established. The true source of energy in its throat should be the power of the Divine Era.

Unexpectedly, the talent ability upon completing deification turned out to be breath. A sinister smile appeared on the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s face, somewhat anticipating.

Back then, the breath ability of ferocious beasts like the Three-headed Flood Dragon Python and the Magma Fire Flood Dragon wasn’t something the Dark Armored Giant Ape would pretend not to envy, but those were biological talents.

Unexpectedly, one day it could also possess such an ability. By then, it would have long-range attack capabilities, and wouldn’t be completely powerless when facing ferocious beasts like the Blood-colored Great Peng dominant over the skies.

The question remained whether its breath could destroy a mountain peak!

In the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s anticipation, the White Fox Beast soon ’consumed’ the Tier Four Ferocious Beast, the demonic energy emanating from its body growing more immense, looking increasingly elegant and beautiful.
