Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 742: Nine High-Level Laws, Dark Red Destruction (II)

High above in the sky, the Destructive Dragon Emperor looked down coldly.

Its breath attack, which had lasted over ten minutes, had nearly flattened the ancient stone lion’s back, melting over a thousand meters of its rocky layers—roughly a fifth of its structure.

Yet now, countless stones had surged up from the lion’s back and quickly reformed into a rugged mountain ridge, radiating an aura of solid durability and ancient weight.

The Dragon Emperor wasn’t surprised. After all, the opponent was a peak ancient titan, and even though it had failed its breakthrough and become petrified, it wasn’t so easily destroyed.

From this brief exchange, the Dragon Emperor had also gained a clearer sense of its own strength.

As a titan-level beast that wielded eight high-level laws and possessed a special Gigantification ability, the Dragon Emperor had become invincible the moment it stepped into the titan level—comparable to even peak titans.

In its gigantified form, its foundational strength, defense, and innate abilities had increased twentyfold, allowing it to break through limitations and enter the ancient titan level, capable of clashing head-on with principle power.

Unfortunately, its Gigantification ability had already reached its limit. At the titan level, its amplification had diminished; this time, its size had only doubled.

Moreover, the eight high-level laws hadn’t fully fused. They had only undergone extreme enhancement, creating the lightning form. Otherwise, its strength would be even more overwhelming—at minimum, reaching the middle stage of the ancient titan level.

This was also why the Dragon Emperor hadn’t refused the dark-red will. If it could evolve its Gigantification into a high-level law, it would effectively master three supreme laws.

At that point, even if it became an ancient titan and ancient true spirit in the future, it could still dominate its peers and even battle across realms.

Of course, another factor was Chen Chu—he had already touched upon the supreme planes and possessed methods to bypass soul-origin contracts. Otherwise, the Dragon Emperor would have acted with far more caution.

The two terrifying beings stood locked in a silent standoff—until suddenly, the crimson sun plunged down, transforming into a streak of light as it descended from the heavens.

Boom!

Battle erupted once more. Within the Dragon Emperor’s lightning-wreathed claws, it held a compressed gold-and-crimson sun. With one strike, the stone lion’s kilometer-thick left paw exploded, leaving a massive gaping hole in the middle.

Boom!

At the same time, a mountain range ten kilometers long crashed down from the sky, shattering space and leaving a black passageway dozens of kilometers long in the void as it blasted through the Dragon Emperor’s afterimage.

The fractured seabed exploded again. With one sweep of its tail, the stone lion carved out a bottomless rift over a hundred kilometers long, while the force of impact flung back the onrushing seawater once more.

Roar!

From the deep sea, two massive colossal beasts let out savage howls. The sonic waves shattered space, forming rings of black shockwaves that swept across the world as they plunged into a frenzied clash.

The invisible spread of principle power had thrown the entire sea into chaos. Streaks of black-and-red lightning rained down, shattering everything in their path and devastating the world over a span of more than a thousand kilometers.

While the two colossal beasts clashed in brutal combat, the Silver Colossal Dragon and Qiongqi, having sensed the intense energy fluctuations, soared back from their patrols.

Amid typhoons of twenty-plus magnitude, the Silver Dragon flapped its wings and circled excitedly, letting out an exuberant roar. Ao Tian, kill it! The great Saixitia wants to stand on its head and humiliate it thoroughly!

The Golden-Blue Dragon, previously blasted away by the explosion, also flew back in. It, too, roared in excitement. Thunder Fiery, blow that ancient creature to pieces!

As they watched the two colossal beasts locked in furious close-quarters battle, both dragons let out wave after wave of enthusiastic howls.

On the tsunami-covered sea surface, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, Nine-Headed Serpent, female orca, and the returning Blue Giant Crab were all tossed about repeatedly, slamming into the ocean and triggering massive water blasts.

These creatures, which had yet to break through to the mythical level, were fundamentally helpless to resist the explosive aura of principle-level power.

It wasn’t just them. The surrounding seas were littered with the corpses of mutated beasts killed by the shockwaves. Within thousands of kilometers, countless oceanic beasts were fleeing in terror.

Such was the scale of a battle between ancient titan-level beings—the aftermath alone could devastate the heavens and the earth.

Qiongqi, over 1,200 meters long, flew through the air trembling with excitement. In the depths of a rift world hidden within the void and connected only by a waterfall, hundreds of mermaids lay collapsed upon the water’s surface.

These beautiful mermaids, their faces flushed and eyes rolled back, had fainted from the pressure of the ancient titans’ overwhelming aura.

All of the colossal beasts were utterly affected... All but one tiny creature.

Nestled comfortably in the thick mane atop the dark red colossal beast’s mountain-sized, ferocious head, the Little Purple Dragon—now ten meters long—was curled up fast asleep.

Wrapped in crackling law-bound lightning, it drooled as it mumbled in its sleep, letting out soft, vague sounds. Kill them all... the great Yiyi wants rivers of blood...

Even the Dragon Emperor’s mouth twitched slightly at that.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Spanning four thousand meters in length, the Dragon Emperor rampaged like a crimson bolt of lightning, circling around the stone lion in a relentless assault. Its claws, entwined with multicolored lightning drawn from various laws, shattered space with each strike, making mountains explode and leaving behind kilometer-wide craters.

It deliberately concentrated its attacks on a single area, nearly blasting apart half of the stone lion’s side and back and carving a crater several kilometers wide that reached deep into its abdomen.

Compared to the pale gray rock of its surface, the ancient lion’s inner body was even more durable—like a core of dark brown metallic ore, radiating an unshakable force.

Even when the Dragon Emperor’s claws struck that core, they only managed to gouge out fissures a few hundred meters long and several dozen meters deep. Each tear was accompanied by a devastating energy detonation.

At a glance, it seemed as though the Dragon Emperor held the upper hand, pressing the stone lion back. In truth, however, the damage was superficial—it hadn’t hurt the creature’s foundation. The destroyed rocky body restored itself at an astonishing rate.

The white mist surrounding the Dragon Emperor grew denser, and the suppression of principle power became stronger, compressing the black and red destruction region surrounding it more and more.

The stone lion’s attack methods were limited. It could only devour its target, and its comparatively slow strikes couldn’t even touch the Dragon Emperor. Even its principle power was blocked by the black and red destruction region enveloping the Dragon Emperor, neutralized by the chaotic dark force swirling around it.

However, the Dragon Emperor couldn’t inflict serious damage either. The lion’s rock body, formed by fused and diffused principle power, was impervious to the eight unfused high-level lightning laws. Any contact would cause the lightning to disperse on its own.

Only the unmatched might of a true colossal beast could forcibly shatter its solidified stone body through raw power.

The battle between the two colossal beasts was simple and brutal, but unless one’s strength reached the ancient titan level, a single explosive exchange between them would be enough to obliterate everything.

Even the white mist, which seemed like an intangible substance, could instantly suppress any titan-level beast that was caught within it, followed immediately by being swallowed whole by the stone lion.

As the battle wore on, their clash spread wider and wider. Eventually, the Dragon Emperor shifted its focus toward the stone lion’s massive hind legs.

Roar!

The lion’s massive body suddenly dropped heavily to the ground, its ten-kilometer-long spine twisting sideways as a thunderous roar shook the heavens.

Boom!

The instant the Dragon Emperor destroyed one of the lion’s hind legs, its colossal form was blasted like a crimson beam through the void, sent flying over a thousand kilometers.

The ocean over dozens of kilometers exploded. Countless tons of water were instantly vaporized by the shockwave, triggering a tsunami ten thousand meters high that surged in all directions.

Roar!

A red beam of light soared into the sky, standing tall with majesty and savagery over a hundred thousand meters high.

Lightning forged from countless laws entwined the Dragon Emperor’s body. Simply standing there, it radiated an invisible aura that crushed the void and weighed down the heavens and earth. Its icy gaze turned toward the distance.

There, a thousand-kilometer radius of sea had been swallowed by mist. One after another, towering gray stone pillars, each over ten thousand meters tall, thrust skyward.

Under the invisible spread of principle power, even space itself began to petrify, becoming like a tangible, separate world.

At the center of this mist-shrouded realm, the stone lion’s body had swelled to over fifty kilometers, and the principle power emanating from its body had become increasingly stronger.

As the ancient creature forcibly awakened its will and continuously unleashed explosive principle power, the last remaining trace of its principle origin had begun to dissipate—it was entering its "old age."

However, that still wasn’t enough. Even in this stage of life, an ancient creature could exist for hundreds of thousands of years, with a lifespan so long it defied imagination, thus remaining a persistent threat.

Roar!

The dark red colossal beast, three thousand meters tall, roared and once again charged into the mist-covered zone.

Boom! Boom! Boom! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The petrified space and its many layers of stone pillars were shattered. Awaiting the Dragon Emperor was a massive, world-devouring maw, large enough to blot out the sky.

Boom!

Under a space-warping, world-devouring strike, the void was directly pierced, forming a black hole. Laws, space, matter, energy, everything was devoured.

However, with the Law of Speed, the Dragon Emperor was simply too fast. It ignored all spatial and material resistance, and in an instant, turned into a streak of red lightning that appeared behind the stone lion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this point, both sides were burning through their energy reserves. It was only a matter of time before one of them ran out.

Either the stone lion’s origin would collapse first, or the Dragon Emperor would become exhausted and unable to maintain its dark red form, at which point the lion would petrify the space around with it with principle power and swallow it whole.

As time passed, the mist-covered zone continued to expand, gradually enveloping thousands of kilometers. The invisible principle aura pushed the Silver Dragon and the others steadily backward.

This battle went on for two full days.
