Chapter 506 - 245 The King Lurking in the Dark (Seeking Monthly Tickets) 2
On Mist Island, Thunderflame Emperor Beast raises its head and looks at the sky that is veiled by clouds and mist. It wonders if it has been discovered by the satellite again.
It s unclear if its sharp perception is due to the influence of the Heart’s Eye or the growth after reaching Level 8.
Within less than a minute of the satellite’s ‘gaze’ falling on it, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast inexplicably sensed that there were ’beings’ watching it from above.
However, it doesn’t matter if it’s been noticed. After being swiftly enhanced to the top-tier, even a Level 9 peak strong man would not be able to stop it if it wished to leave.
As for the king-level beasts, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast is more cautious in evaluating them as it has never encountered them and does not know how powerful they are.
Pushing this concern to the back of its mind, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast continued to tear and feast on the demon ape’s flesh and blood.
In fact, this Level 9 demon ape was quite powerful. Its raw destructive power was even stronger than that of the Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon.
With a similar Oscillation Domain to the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, Advanced Strength, Advanced Defense, and many other advanced talents such as fury and gigantification, it was extremely formidable when combined.
However, it was unfortunate to have met the Thunderflame Emperor Beast, which was stronger than it in all aspects.
It was not as powerful, couldn’t withstand its defense, and was completely overrun by the terrifyingly fast movement and attack speed of the Thunderflame Emperor Beast.
Its domain that shakes and destroys everything was weakened under the Golden Blaze Thunder Domain, and it could not shake the terrifying dense flesh of the Thunderflame Emperor Beast.
It eventually died in despair.
At this moment, as the flesh of the Level 9 creature was consumed, the immense biological energy exploded within the Thunderflame Emperor Beast’s body. Every cell that it passed was furiously absorbing, dividing, and compressing.
Compared to a Level 7 or even Level 8 Beast, the energy and Life Factors contained in the flesh and blood of a Level 9 Beast were completely on a different level.
Under the influx of dense energy, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast’s body that was close to too meters long grew visibly. Its full-body scales armor was being expanded with a cracking sound.
Boom!
When the Thunderflame Emperor Beast’s body size exceeded 100 meters, all the flesh and energy in its body underwent minor transformations, and a more terrifying aura erupted in an instant.
Huff! Huff!
Under the heavy and terrifying pressure, countless cracks sprouted out with the Thunderflame Emperor Beast at center, spreading hundreds of meters away, with a raging wind howling all around.
Level 8 Late Stage.
After sensing the subtle changes after the breakthrough, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast continued to lower its head and eat. Splattering the flesh and blood with its ferocious big mouth was a terrifying sight.
About half a day later, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast finally finished eating the six-armed demon ape, with its body suddenly growing to a length of 105 meters.
After breaking the 100-meter mark, as its body becomes increasingly massive and its flesh density increases, the energy required for each meter of growth is now much larger.
Additionally, part of the absorbed life essence was stored as Evolution Energy, hence it needed more food.
However, this time the Thunderflame Emperor Beast did not eat everything. It left the skeleton of the six-armed demon ape behind.
Looking at the giant Beast’s skeleton in front of it, almost 20 meters high when laid flat on the ground, forged with what seemed to be a Black Gold alloy, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast took a deep breath and then pooled the energy in its body.
Boom!
Infinite golden flames roared out of the Thunderflame Emperor Beast’s mouth, covering all over the six-armed demon ape’s skeleton.
However, this time the golden flames emitted was not a condensed breath but was just pure fire that had been compressed twice.
Under tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, the ground was visibly melting, and the air as well as tiny particles were evaporating, forming a lava lake covering a range of hundreds of meters.
Under the continuous tempering of the golden flames, the demon ape’s skeleton began to emit a black gold light, with some rune trails vaguely appearing on the surface.
The Mutated Creatures that choose the physical evolutionary path would have their talent abilities coalescing and crystallizing into runes when they break through to Level 8, which would then be integrated into their body including the flesh and bones.
Therefore, after their death, these creatures’ scale armor, bones, horns, and other remains would have more or less rune trails left, especially the core spine.
And through tempering the Beast’s skeleton, humans consolidate the power of these rune trails to form Incomplete Runes that contain the Beast’s talents for observation, comprehension, and learning.
This is the origin of the core power of most ‘Beast’-type secret books.
At this time, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast is doing something similar. It has taken an interest in the gigantification talent of the six-armed demon ape and wants to see if it can be used.
For the Thunderflame Emperor Beast, which relies on physical advantages, if it could acquire the ability of gigantification through rune marking, its power would become even more terrifying as its body size exponentially increases.
This tempering took half a day and one night.
There stands a black-red colossal beast over 100 meters long in the middle of the fire sea. The flames coming out of its massive, ferocious mouth seem dimmer.
Suspended above the fire sea is a golden spine about twenty meters long and over three meters wide, with the segment appearance of bamboo and countless rune trails all over it.
Phew Phew!! The Thunderflame Emperor Beast sat down heavily in exhaustion, causing the fire sea to explode and spew out scorching magma far and wide.
After half a day and a whole night of pouring out water… pouring out fire, even it was starting to feel the strain.
This was due to the talent enhancement and reaching the late stage of Level 8.
Otherwise, with its initial endurance of only three minutes when it had just broken through to Level 7, it would have been already drained and lying down.
After resting for a while, the Thunderflame Emperor Beast grabbed the twenty-meter-long Rune Spine and strolled out of the Magma Fire Sea, disappearing into the sea amidst crash of seawater.
