Chapter 441 - 224: Peerless Ferocious Beast, Giant Beast Monarch, Looking Directly at the Essence
Crackle Crackle!!
The Thunderflame Behemoth’s body continued to stretch, its cells dividing and compressing frantically, as its muscles became more sculpted and bulging, filled with explosive strength.
Its neck became thick and powerful, and its skull slightly deformed to appear fiercer, with prominent brow bones and the black short horns on its head growing longer and sharper, resembling a mane.
As its body changed, the heavy black and red scale armor also kept expanding and deforming, becoming more angular and rising up in blade-like sharp grooves.
At the same time, from both claws and the joints of its legs, backwards-facing barbs grew, and on its shoulders, a row of heavy bone spurs emerged, with faint flames flickering within.
The dorsal fin, which had evolved from a row of sharp spikes to robust coral, became sharp again during this growth, yet thicker compared to the third evolution of the Sword Armor Beast.
And on both sides of the dorsal fin, new black and red sharp spikes grew, forming three rows extending to the tail, which aligned with the angle of the scale armor at the tail.
It looked as if the tail had gained an extra blade forged from the union of three rows of sharp spikes.
The tail tip’s spikes also became sharper and thicker, like a sword’s edge, emanating a sharp aura, yet heavy like a knife, suitable for slashing.
These were just external changes.
Inside the Thunderflame Behemoth, the top-tier defense and strength stood firm, while Thunder and Golden Flame roared wildly.
Endless Golden Flame energy tumbled through its flesh and blood, turning into pure gold-like flames, radiating a terrifying heat capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.
At the same time, the electrical cells in its dorsal fin also divided and deformed madly, each cell core seemingly adopting the shape of lightning as if they weren’t cells but thunder itself.
Even due to the overly powerful energy, the three rows of dorsal fin lit up like high-watt bulbs, emitting a deep blue radiance, and blue arcs crackled fiercely.
Apart from this, the formerly low-tier talents for regeneration and toxin had undergone earth-shattering changes, transforming the substances circulating through its flesh and blood into energy-based talents.
Moreover, the toxin, which had evolved into energy, merged opportunistically with the Golden Flame; when the green toxic energy infused with a hint of Golden Flame, it became hotter and more explosive, like oil fueling a fire. Regeneration and Agility could also fuse, allowing the burst of speed that would normally require a pause after two bursts to reach multiple bursts.
With Agility Talent that on land instantly increased its body length thirtyfold, and underwater, twentyfold, the speed burst was terrifying, but the strain and damage to the body were also substantial. Each burst caused the joints and muscles to dissolve, and even it had to pause and recover, but now…
Boom!
Golden flames erupted like a volcano from the Thunderflame Behemoth’s body, the glaring firelight covering a three hundred meter radius, with deep blue thunder roaring within.
In an instant, a ferociously terrifying aura burst forth.
Boom!
Beneath this terrifying force, the seabed trembled, the earth within a hundred-meter radius shattered, unable to withstand, forming scorching magma erupting under the fierce high-temperature flames.
The surrounding dead silent and cold sea water was obliterated, vaporized by the impact of the Golden Flame and Thunder at temperatures over ten thousand degrees Celsius, resulting in waves of destructive impact that swept a kilometer radius.
Even the sea surface was stirred up into tsunamis over ten meters high, forming rings of sea waves rushing in all directions, with an intimidating momentum.
Such terrifying force instantly alerted everyone in the nearby Ice Crystal Palace, including the Silver Giant Dragon, the Nine-headed Flood Dragon, who were cultivating, prompting them to rush out instinctively.
Looking at the ferocious beast standing amidst the Golden Flame Thunder, even the Silver Giant Dragon, a descendant of a Mythical Giant Beast, felt an oppression stemming from a more profound level of life.
As for the other ‘beasts’, there was even less need to mention, especially the Nine-headed Flood Dragon, which felt even more shocked.
Not long before, the Thunderflame Behemoth was teaching them runes; how had it suddenly grown again, becoming so formidable that even they felt somewhat frightened?
The Nine-headed Flood Dragon’s nine heads twisted as it roared in shock, “Roar roar roar! So strong, the aura, Abbott, what has happened to you?”
Compared to the Silver Giant Dragon and the Nine-headed Flood Dragon, the Single-horned Tiger Kingfish was excited: Roar roar roar! Thunderflame, you’ve become even more powerful, so strong, so strong!
Roar roar! Thunderflame, even more monstrous, true to yourself, growing increasingly monstrous. The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle also roared excitedly.
After spending so much time together, the two giant beasts had long grown accustomed to the Thunderflame Behemoth’s monstrosity; if one day it wasn’t fierce enough, they would be surprised instead.
As for the four Mutated Tiger Whales, at that moment under the oppressive violent terror of the Thunderflame Behemoth, they instinctively shrank behind the Single-horned Tiger Kingfish, trembling with fear.
This included the Female Tiger Whale that had grown to Level 7, unable to directly face the Thunderflame Behemoth releasing its ferocious aura without restraint.
In the center of the Thunder Fire Domain, the ferocious black-red colossal beast let out a deep roar, “Domination, if you can’t use an adjective properly, don’t use it. I’m not monstrous; I’ve become stronger.”
The Thunderflame Behemoth’s golden vertical pupils swept over all the giant beasts as it growled, “This time, I triggered a second growth while contemplating the essence of my own powers and deducing runes.”
Roar roar roar! I want to grow too, Thunderflame, you look so fierce.
The Single-horned Tiger Kingfish’s eyes shone with envy.
Thunderflame Behemoth growled, “Wanting a second growth is simple; comprehend your talent to its limit, penetrate the essence of your own strength, and it can be achieved.”
“Roar roar roar! Abbott, how, comprehend, what is, comprehension?” The Nine-headed Flood Dragon and the Tiger Fish Dragon Turtle both showed confusion in their nine pairs of eyes.
“Comprehension is self-reflection.”
“Take Scythia, for example. Have you ever wondered how your Ice talent is produced? Why does it form ice? What’s the principle behind it, why isn’t it water?”
