Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 698: Commander of the Eastern Hemisphere, Urgent Recall to the Blue Planet (II)

After distributing the harvest, the Destructive Dragon Emperor opened its massive jaws and swallowed the hundred-meter-wide golden crystal in one gulp.

The instant the crystal entered its stomach, it detonated like a hydrogen bomb, unleashing an infinite surge of life energy and law particles.

Crack! Crack!

With the overwhelming influx of energy, the Dragon Emperor’s cells multiplied wildly. Bones expanded, muscles swelled, and even its scales were stretched apart.

1,450 meters... 1,470 meters... 1,500 meters...

Boom!

A surge of aura that had surpassed the mythical level erupted from the Dragon Emperor, shaking the heavens and earth. The invisible pressure it released turned into a tangible shockwave, blasting away the Silver Colossal Dragon and the other three colossal beasts.

After getting flung into the air and sent tumbling for kilometers, the Silver Dragon roared in protest. Ao Tian, you’ve blown the great Saixitia away again!

However, the Dragon Emperor paid no heed to it. Its entire focus was now on the immense transformation happening within it, which began when it expanded to 1,500 meters.

Its durability-enhanced genetic sequence began to collapse, allowing the titan-level crystal core’s energy to restructure its form.

At the same time, its eight fully matured high-level laws underwent metamorphosis. Streaks of black lightning, golden radiance, golden-white flames and thunderbolts, and purple halos exploded forth.

Boom!

The eight laws interwove into a world that spanned a hundred kilometers in diameter around the Dragon Emperor, radiating dazzling colors.

Everything within the zone—from rocks to even the laws of heaven and earth—was destroyed and reconstructed anew.

Standing at the core of the embryonic law-bound world, the Dragon Emperor's aura intensified. Its flesh, bones, strength, life stage, and form all began to evolve.

The speed at which it was growing and transforming was so overwhelming that even the Silver Dragon and Single-Horned Kunpeng, who had witnessed it multiple times, still found themselves shocked and envious.

The Dragon Emperor's advancement was simply too rapid—countless times faster than any other mythical colossal beast. While others took hundreds or thousands of years to break through to the titan level, it had done so in just over a month.

The five-colored law-bound world in the distance collapsed and contracted to reveal the Dragon Emperor, now surrounded by flowing currents of black-gold energy and exuding an oppressive might. A deep urge to sleep suddenly surged from within it.

Move out! With a thunderous bellow, its massive claws descended, seizing the Silver Dragon and Kunpeng. It shattered the surrounding space as it blasted forward at over a hundred times the speed of sound.

Be it spatial rifts or forbidden zones, it destroyed everything in its path, leaving behind nothing but a dark passage filled with chaotic energy currents.

Behind it, Qiongqi, wreathed in crimson flames, flapped its wings and accelerated explosively to keep up.

The Dragon Emperor’s transformation after breaking through to the titan level had exceeded its expectations. Since it would likely have to hibernate for a long period as a consequence, it sought the safety of the rift world before it could rest.

Such was the drawback of advancing too quickly—the Dragon Emperor was always either breaking through, growing, or on the verge of sleep.

Staring at the frozen image on the massive screen, many personnel in the satellite monitoring center remained in a state of shock.

The major general in charge gravely remarked, "It took only thirteen minutes for Thunder Fiery to obliterate a mythical being whose energy at its peak matched that of a titan-level lifeform."

Titan-level colossal beasts possessed a greater size advantage and a life force so immense that they were extremely difficult to kill.

Yet, the colossal beast codenamed Thunder Fiery had slain a foe equivalent to a peak heavenly king in just over ten minutes. The feat left everyone shaken.

After all, humanity only had eleven heavenly kings, and among them, only four had reached the peak.

However, what terrified them the most was the fact that Thunder Fiery could already crush peak-titan-level opponents despite having only broken through to the mythical level a month ago. Its absurd growth rate was beyond comprehension. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Thankfully, the colossal beast had signed an alliance agreement with the Federation and had a friendship with one of their top-level prodigies, so they didn’t have to worry about it becoming an enemy.

Just then, the monitoring center's alarms blared again.

From the energy detection zone, a staff member shouted, "Report! High-intensity energy fluctuations detected on the southern coast of East Xia! Intensity is at level 10!"

"Contact the nearest primary military base! Deploy Ninth Heavenly Realm experts or higher!" the major general ordered. "Prepare for the possible emergence of a level 9 beast!"

The Federation classified spatial rifts based on their energy fluctuations, dividing them into levels that corresponded to the thirteen levels of power.

However, the rifts were categorized as unstable spatial passages. Hence, they had a maximum energy capacity limit, only allowing creatures one tier lower than their full energy strength to pass through.

Additionally, since they were created by the collision of world forces, they contained violent spatial storms capable of annihilating everything. The colossal beast whose head Chen Hu encountered had been torn apart and killed by a spatial storm after being sucked into a rift.

At that moment, spatial rifts were appearing all over the Blue Planet. Some spewed pure transcendent energy, while others discharged rocks, soil, or beast corpses.

Some injured mutated beasts had also appeared in mountains and cities. The weakest among them were level 7, standing dozens to hundreds of meters tall. In North Lin, a mythical creature over a thousand meters long had even appeared in the skies above a city.

Alarms blared worldwide, and the military was mobilized. News reporters rushed to the scenes, some believing that the mythical awakening from fifty years ago was happening all over again.
