Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 561: Return of the Divine Child

The mythical world’s setting sun radiated scorching brightness. Under its illumination, all living creatures instinctively felt a sense of irritation.

Amid the over ten meters tall wild grass, two level 7 colossal beasts roared and fought for mating rights. Both were over forty meters long and more than twenty meters tall at the shoulders.

Nearby, a dozen female colossal beasts that resembled mammoths covered in gray scales grazed leisurely on the green grass.

A few kilometers away surged a river that was a hundred meters wide. On the hillside across the river was a six-hundred-meter-tall vortex. As the blue vortex spun, so did the heavens and earth.

After delivering the message to return home to the Silver Colossal Dragon, the black colossal beast left the area. Otherwise, its terrifying late-stage mythical aura would have prevented all large mutated beasts from approaching a radius of several dozen kilometers.

Boom!

The blue vortex trembled violently as a ferocious black and red colossal beast emerged from it. An overwhelmingly fierce and of power spread, making the hillside beneath the creature’s feet trembled and cracked. It also compressed and shattered the surrounding air, forming white concentric shockwaves that swept outward.

The rolling shockwaves made the tree branches sway and the bushes and grass dance, creating a stunning scene.

On the head of the Heavenly Dragon, a two-meter-long purple dragon looked at the unfamiliar world and the dense aura of energy, appearing somewhat excited. It stretched its little claws and pointed at the level 7 colossal beasts across the river.

Eeya, Eeya!

The Heavenly Dragon growled lowly.

Forget it. Those colossal beasts haven't even reached the peak of their level; its a waste of time.

The little dragon seemed to have a rather violent temperament. Upon arrival, it immediately urged the Heavenly Dragon to kill the grazing colossal beasts across the river. How brutal!

The vortex behind them suddenly trembled, and the Silver Colossal Dragon burst forth. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, circled the area, and let out an excited and resounding roar. The great Saixitia has returned!

White light gathered in its mouth.

Boom!

A white icy flame, over ten meters thick, descended from the sky and struck the surging river. An explosive frost then burst forth, instantly freezing the surface.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like a plane carpet bombing the area, the Silver Colossal Dragon’s relentless, icy attack shattered the ice crystals on the river. It also froze everything in its vicinity, including the mammoth-like colossal beasts across the river.

They creatures out terrified roars as they froze. The Silver Colossal Dragon's breath then blasted them apart.

Eeya, Eeya!

The scene made the Little Purple Dragon cry excitedly. It transformed into a streak of purple light and appeared in the air beside the Silver Colossal Dragon.

Eeya, Eeya! Yaya!

The Little Purple Dragon pointed its tiny claws toward a lush forest in the distance.

The Silver Colossal Dragon tilted its head in confusion and growled deeply.

Ao Tian, what is Xiao Yi saying?

The Heavenly Dragon responded with a slow growl.

It wants you to freeze and destroy that forest as well.

The Silver Colossal Dragon looked at the vast, boundless forest ahead, filled with towering trees that were hundreds of meters tall. It then blinked.

Xiao Yi, the great Saixitia's liver is slightly in pain, so no more breath attacks for today.

As Saixitia roared with excitement, the Single-Horned Kun and Zhulong emerged through the passage, their eyes filled with curiosity as they observed the mythical world.

Somewhat excited, the Single-Horned Kun inquired, Is this the vast world we’ve heard about? There's so much energy here! It feels like it will never run out.

Beside it, Zhulong also expressed its excitement. Can’t... run... out.

The Heavenly Dragon raised its head and roared, Lead the way, Saixitia! After meeting your mother, we’ll claim some new territory.

The Heavenly Dragon agreed to accompany the Silver Colossal Dragon to meet its mother because it wanted to get more information about the surrounding areas and find a suitable place for development.

After all, claiming this particular region was out of the question since a mythical-titan colossal beast resided here. It hadn’t just broken through to its current level either; it was powerful. Right now, even the Heavenly Dragon was no match for it.

Besides, the beast in question was also Saixitia's mother. Challenging her for her territory wouldn’t be appropriate. Hence, exploring the surrounding areas seemed like the option.

The mythical world was vast and limitless anyway. There were hundreds of thousands of kilometers of land to claim.

Remembering something, the Heavenly Dragon roared, Saixitia, where are the high-level crystals you collected earlier?

Earlier, while it was slumbering, the three colossal beasts led expeditions across several sea regions. Although they didn’t specifically hunt level 7 or level 8 peak colossal beasts, they still managed to harvest some high-level Life Crystals.

A few days ago, when the group returned and found the Heavenly Dragon still asleep beneath the magma, they entrusted the crystals to Saixitia for safekeeping. After all, it was the only one with storage space.

Looking down from the sky, the Silver Colossal Dragon blinked.

The crystals are safe with the great Saixitia, Ao Tian. I’ll give them to you when you need them. Anyway, it's time to go home! The great Saixitia is off to brag to Thorsafi now that I am also a middle-stage level 9 colossal beast!

This bastard.

The three colossal beasts soared into the sky, closely following the Silver Colossal Dragon toward the horizon.

Unlike the Silver Colossal Dragon, which had the natural gift of flight, the Single-Horned Kun relied on its domain to fly, making it slightly slower. Its speed in the air was only twice the speed of sound.

The Silver Colossal Dragon flew amid swirling clouds and howling winds at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. It now measured over two hundred and forty meters in length and had a wingspan of nearly five hundred meters.

We need to cross the territory of Balong Colossal Beast King on our way back. At Big Horn’s speed, it will take about half a day in Blue Planet time to get past it.

After entering my mother’s territory, we’ll traverse an endless mountain range and then pass through the Kuru Clan’s capital. Altogether, it’ll take us about two days to reach the frozen mountain range.

The Heavenly Dragon nodded thoughtfully.

Using Single-Horned Kun’s supersonic flight speed as part of its calculations, the Heavenly Dragon estimated that the Balong Colossal Beast King’s territory had a diameter of over ten thousand kilometers. The domain of Saixitia’s mother had to be even larger.

Considering it required two days of flying—which was equivalent to over fifty thousand kilometers—then her territory’s diameter exceeded a hundred thousand kilometers.

Hiss!

After doing the math, even the Heavenly Dragon couldn’t help but feel astonished.

A territory with a diameter exceeding a hundred thousand kilometers—how many square kilometers would that be?

To put it into perspective, the Blue Planet, which nurtured humanity, had a diameter of just over twelve thousand kilometers and an equatorial circumference of more than forty thousand kilometers.

The Heavenly Dragon marveled as they quickly covered over three thousand kilometers.

Amid their flight, the landscape shifted between towering mountains and lush forests that had wide rivers rushing through. Massive creatures roamed the land, their desolate roars echoing through the wilderness.

Whenever this happened, the Silver Colossal Dragon would let out a resounding roar and dive down like a fighter jet to an altitude of just a kilometer above ground, releasing an oppressive middle-stage level 9 aura.

The colossal beasts and other creatures below naturally panicked and fled.

During these moments, the Little Purple Dragon would stand on the Silver Colossal Dragon’s head and let out excited squeals. They almost looked like two joyful children playing together.

Though, to be fair, they probably were just children.

After flying for a while, a mountain range saturated with transcendent energy came into view. On a mountain over ten thousand meters tall stood a black colossal beast that was over a thousand meters long.

With each breath of the black colossal beast, the surrounding mountains trembled slightly. An invisible yet fearsome aura of power also emanated from it.

The Silver Colossal Dragon folded its wings and dove toward it.

Balong Colossal Beast King, the great Saixitia has returned!

Having already sensed their aura, the black colossal beast raised its head, nodded in acknowledgement, and let out a deep roar.

As the four colossal beasts flew overhead, the black colossal beast gazed upon the five-hundred-meter-long black and red colossal beast. Its eyes shone in amazement.

The young creature—from a world on the brink of collapse—was truly frightening. Even though it had just broken through to the mythical level, it had already fused two high-level laws. No wonder it had such powerful combat strength.

As the black colossal beast marveled at the strength of the Heavenly Dragon, the Single-Horned Kun exclaimed, Thunder Fiery, I sense something good—something really good!

Where is it? the Heavenly Dragon asked.

The giant kun, covered in black, menacing armor, gestured to the left with its massive, wing-like fins. Over there. It’s close.

The Silver Colossal Dragon's eyes lit up as it moved closer. Big Horn, lead the way! The great Saixitia loves finding treasures!

The Heavenly Dragon was astonished. This location was only a few hundred kilometers from the mountain where the black colossal beast resided. How could there possibly be unclaimed god-level resources here?

Follow me!

The excited Single-Horned Kun led the four colossal beasts to a location over two hundred kilometers away.

Below, three hills—each a kilometer tall—were arranged in a triangular formation around a deep pool that was a kilometer in diameter. The crystal-clear water reflected the sunlight off it.

Three golden lotus flowers were in full bloom at the center of the pool. Two were over three meters in diameter, while the third exceeded two meters. They radiated a rich fragrance and an elusive, profound aura.

The invisible energy fluctuation that they emanated was particularly noticeable. Even colossal beasts tens of thousands of meters away instinctively wanted to devour them.

The Heavenly Dragon's eyes gleamed with interest. The two larger golden lotus flowers were high-grade god-level resources. Consuming them would bring immense benefits even to a creature of its stature.

In the Human Federation, resources were categorized into several levels: ordinary resources, which were suitable for cultivators in the First to Third Heavenly Realm; high-level resources, for cultivators in the Fourth to Sixth Heavenly Realm; and top-level resources, for advanced cultivators.

This resource classification included natural treasures, minerals used for strengthening weapons and armor, and other materials for special-use cases.

Above top-level resources were god-level resources, which are imbued with the laws of heaven and earth. These resources were known as god level because they contained immense amounts of energy.

Examples of god-level resources included the Black Gale Crystal once obtained by Chen Chu and the Profound Yellow Crystal gifted by Yan Ruoyi.

God-level resources were further categorized into ordinary, high-grade, and top-grade based on the completeness of the laws they embodied and the intensity of their energy. Above god-level resources were law-level resources, which even celestial kings found irresistible.

The Heavenly Dragon growled, These resources are likely under the care of the Balong Colossal Beast King, which is why no other mutated beasts dare to approach. We should only look and not touch.

The main reason they took this detour was to test the range of the Single-Horned Kun's ability to sense valuable items. However, while the Heavenly Dragon was preparing to leave, the Silver Colossal Dragon dismissed the concern.

It’s fine. The Balong Colossal Beast King works for my mother. That means these treasures are essentially my mother’s, and by extension, they belong to the great Saixitia!

That logic was hard to argue with.

The great Saixitia and Ao Tian will take the largest ones, and the rest will be perfect for you three—one each! Go for it!

As the others cheered, the Silver Colossal Dragon dove down and swooped over the deep pool. With a single bite, it devoured one of the largest golden lotuses along with several dozen tons of water.

Boom!

The ground trembled. Mud and sand scattered as the Silver Colossal Dragon landed by the pool with a satisfied expression.

Dig in, everyone!

Since the Silver Colossal Dragon was unconcerned, the Heavenly Dragon felt no reason to hesitate. Hovering above the pool, it opened its mouth slightly and unleashed a powerful suction, quickly swallowing the other large golden lotus.

Boom!

As it swallowed the god-level resource, which was comparable to the Dark Molten Divine Fruit, a surge of scorching energy exploded within. The immense power coursed through it, refining every inch of its body.

Its law-tempered, extraordinarily resilient physique expanded with audible cracks. Within moments, the Heavenly Dragon grew over ten meters in length. Its massive frame swelled to a fearsome 520 meters, making it appear even more imposing and ferocious.

Eeya! Eeya!

The Little Purple Dragon flew gleefully over the pool. Its adorable dragon head then suddenly expanded by ten meters in width, making it look menacing.

Bang!

The other colossal beasts watched in surprise as the Little Purple Dragon swallowed the golden lotus in one bite. Its head rapidly shrank back to its original form.

Eeya!

Radiating a strong energy aura, the Little Purple Dragon happily returned on top of the Heavenly Dragon's head and curled up comfortably.

Ao Tian, Xiao Yi just grew larger! the Silver Colossal Dragon, which had been focused on absorbing the golden lotus' energy, exclaimed excitedly upon realizing what had just happened.

The Heavenly Dragon nodded and growled in acknowledgment. I saw. It’s likely one of its innate abilities.

Meanwhile, the Single-Horned Kun and Zhulong each swallowed one of the remaining golden lotuses. A dense energy aura surrounded them as their spirits surged with vitality.

They hadn’t expected to stumble upon such amazing resources to feast on so soon after entering the mythical world.

After the colossal beasts flew away, the black colossal beast at the top of the distant mountain peak closed its eyes with a pained expression.

It had been guarding those golden lotuses for over twenty day-cycles, intending to consume once they fully matured.

Forget it. I'll consider it a gift for the Silver Dragon Prince’s return.

The group of colossal beasts continued their journey, flying over two moderately dangerous regions before leaving the territory of the Balong Colossal Beast King. Soon, they reached the domain of the Silver Colossal Dragon's home.

A loud roar infused with the level 9 dragon’s draconic might scattered a flock of mutated flying beasts, each with wingspans exceeding fifty meters. They fled in terror.

In the clouds, the Single-Horned Kun squeaked in confusion, Saixitia, didn’t you say this vast world is dangerous? Why haven’t we seen a single powerful colossal beast?

The Silver Colossal Dragon circled in the air as it replied, Colossal beasts above level 9 are not allowed to stay in my mother’s territory. Once they reach that level, they are driven out.

How domineering... I suppose it must be for the safety of its child, the Heavenly Dragon thought as it glanced at the Silver Colossal Dragon.

The Silver Colossal Dragon had once mentioned how much it loved flying freely within its territory or visiting the neighboring domain to play with a dragon named Thorsafi. It was clear that this area was incredibly safe.

For over a day, their journey remained uneventful. Unlike human-inhabited regions, Saixitia's domain was stable and peaceful. It only had a few dangerous zones.

Eventually, a rugged city came into view, stretching for over ten kilometers and exuding an alien aura.

The Silver Colossal Dragon let out an excited roar. The great Saixitia has returned!

Upon noticing the Silver Colossal Dragon circling above their city, the countless aliens below bowed respectfully. It's Divine Child Saixitia!

Standing at around three meters tall, the aliens had human-like upper bodies and long snake-like lower bodies. Their crude clothing and city design suggested that their civilization was at its medieval age.

After basking in their reverence, the satisfied Silver Colossal Dragon flapped its wings and resumed its journey, leading the Heavenly Dragon and the others onward.

After another half a day of flying, a mountain range, with mountains frozen from the top-half onward, came into view.

In front of the mountain range, atop a mountain tens of thousands of meters tall, laid a massive azure-white colossal beast. Its resting form alone resembled a small mountain, with its height nearly reaching a thousand meters.

A terrifying pressure instantly swept over the colossal beasts.

The azure-white beast exuded an aura of principles at the peak of the mythical titan level. Its overwhelming presence made the Heavenly Dragon’s expression instantly turn serious.
