Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

The ground shattered as scorching shockwaves swept across the land. Like a towering sky-high barrier stretching thousands of kilometers, they engulfed the Dragon Palace beast legion in an instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Ice Crystal Destruction Domain surrounding the Silver Colossal Dragon trembled violently, shrinking rapidly under the apocalyptic blast. Only ancient titans like the Black Qilin managed to remain standing amid the residual shockwaves of battle between the two true spirits.

The rest of the titan- and mythical-level beasts, including the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon and the dragon kings, were like insects caught in a hurricane. They were hurled tens of thousands of kilometers away, even though they had stayed far from the center of the clash.

The most unfortunate were the Five-Colored True Spirit's subordinates. They had barely flown a few tens of thousands of kilometers before they were swept away by the explosion caused when the two true spirits slammed into the earth.

Under normal circumstances, any creature below the mythical level would have been reduced to ash by the shockwaves of such a clash. Even titan-level beasts would have been gravely wounded, if not outright slain. Only ancient titans could barely withstand it.

Yet just as many beasts were about to be annihilated, their bodies suddenly shimmered with five-colored light, resonating with the radiance permeating the heavens and earth. In a flash, they vanished, only to reappear some ten thousand kilometers away, safely relocated not far from the Dragon Palace legion by the True Spirit.

Amid the waves of searing shockwaves, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle let out an excited roar as it spotted several scattered mythical beasts in the distance.Those bastards better not run. Lord Baxia's about to crush you.

Boom!

The Dragon Turtle, at the beginning stage of the mythical level, charged forward with a domain of golden shockwaves swirling around it, hurling itself madly at four mythical beasts in the distance.

Compared to the cowardly and timid creature it had once been in the ocean, this beast had undergone a tremendous transformation after following the Destructive Dragon Emperor through countless battles. The other beasts likewise charged at their respective foes. Even the ancient titans joined the fray, and in a flash, a brutal battle erupted. Savage roars shook the heavens.

Yet from the moment the clash began, the Five-Colored Empire found itself at a disadvantage. Excluding the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Palace boasted seven ancient titans, two more than the Five-Colored Empire.

Among them were the Ancient Magma Dragon, the Black Qilin, and the Midgard Serpent, all of which had refined either an entire world or complete fragments of one. Their combat strength far surpassed their levels. Though the Midgard Serpent had only just reached the middle stage of the ancient titan level, it already possessed the strength of the late stage.

The Time Dragon, wielder of time principle, also held cross-realm power. It had once faced off against Demon God Deorus while being at peak of the titan level and merely came out slightly disadvantaged. The Ancient Ray-Beast, a middle-stage ancient titan wielding chaotic destruction currents, was likewise comparable to the late stage.

As for the low-profile Azure-White Colossal Dragon, it had once been powerful enough to drive off the Time Dragon while being at the titan level. Now, having stepped into the ancient titan level, it was unimaginably formidable.

Each of these beasts could battle across minor realms. Otherwise, they would have never caught the Dragon Emperor's eye. By contrast, the Blade King was the weakest among them, but it wasn't targeting any ancient titans. It led a force of over thirty mythical beasts directly at the titan-level beasts.

The Silver Dragon had the best luck. Closest to it was an army of over a hundred thousand minotaur aliens, all level 8. Its eyes gleamed as it let out a gleeful, vicious roar.You bastards really dared to block Ao Tian's path? Today, the great Saixitia will bathe you in blood!

Hum!

A beam of icy breath, hundreds of meters thick, blasted forth. The space it crossed froze and shattered as it streaked over two thousand kilometers, crashing directly into the minotaur horde.

Boom!

In an instant, countless icy blasts erupted, transforming into white mist that spread for hundreds of kilometers. Everything was frozen and pulverized.

While the colossal beast legions and alien armies of the two great empires waged savage war, the two true spirits which would ultimately determine the battle's outcome let out bloodthirsty roars.

The Dragon Emperor stood tall amid the explosive core that had obliterated over one hundred thousand kilometers of land, its forty-thousand-meter-long frame wreathed in golden-red lightning.

The monstrous red beast raised its claws skyward, muscles swelling as it unleashed a force so great it seemed to crush the heavens themselves. It met the True Spirit head-on, halting the massive descending head in place.

The Dragon Emperor stood level with the shattered land. Beneath its feet lay a massive rift tens of thousands of kilometers wide, a pit filled with destructive, raging currents. That earlier impact had only destroyed the surrounding land and space with residual force. It hadn't moved the Dragon Emperor even slightly, let alone driven it into the depths.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the two true spirits became locked in a standoff of raw strength, the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers exploded with five-colored light and golden-red lightning, erupting in deafening detonations. With every collision, the scattered five-colored shards and golden-red lightning annihilated each other, collapsing into nothingness and shaking the very fabric of space-time.

Roar!

The Dragon Emperor roared skyward. Its muscles swelled once again, and from between the fibers erupted streaks of black lightning, infused with terrifying power.

Its principle-level hidden ability, the Endbringer Tyrant Body, unleashed in full, and the Dragon Emperor's strength surged severalfold. With claws raised to the sky and one foot crushing the void beneath, it spun around violently.

Boom!

The entire world was overturned. The ten-thousand-kilometer-long True Spirit roared as it was hurled backward with a thunderous crash. The impact tore through space-time, sending a shockwave wrapped in red radiance surging across hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

A furious and brutal roar thundered across heaven and earth. The land within millions of kilometers erupted with dazzling five-colored light, surging into the sky. Behind the True Spirit, countless radiant arches of five-colored brilliance interwove.

Boom!

Its principles manifested five-colored light, forming a sequence of chains woven into a net. The massive True Spirit, which had been soaring through the air, jolted violently, then slowly descended to the ground. The moment its four pillar-like limbs touched down, the earth within tens of thousands of kilometers quaked, and countless shards of stone were flung skyward.

Crack! Crack!

Bathed in the flickering five-colored radiance, the fractured rifts across half of the True Spirit's ore-vein-like head began to heal at a pace visible to the naked eye. True-spirit-level beasts not only possessed incomparably powerful true forms, but their life force was unimaginably tenacious.

From hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the Dragon Emperor roared, and endless golden-white flames erupted outward from its colossal frame. They formed a world-ending sun ten thousand kilometers in diameter, its surface ablaze with black fire.

This was another principle-level hidden ability: the Endbringer Sun.

At the very moment this blazing sun manifested, the Dragon Emperor vanished through a divine movement technique, reappearing high above the True Spirit. It crashed down from the sky like judgment.

The descent came so fast that the True Spirit couldn't even react. The five-colored radiance surrounding it scattered under the black-and-red waves of energy pouring from the Endbringer Sun.

Boom!

Endless torrents of gold and black fire erupted, drowning everything within hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The sky burned, the seas boiled, and all things were annihilated by the power of flame infused with the Chaotic End principle. The five-colored ores covering the surface of the True Spirit's body were reduced to molten lava, melting layer by layer.

However, the Dragon Emperor's true target with this strike wasn't merely the body; it was the connection between the true spirit and the earth.

The beast, bathed in the flames of the sun's core, let out a savage roar. Its forelimbs, thick as heavenly pillars, raised high and then slammed down.

Boom!

The moment its two hoof-like claws struck the ground, layers of transparent ripples burst forth, sweeping across the world with a suppressive force of unimaginable magnitude. The sun that had engulfed a hundred thousand kilometers was suddenly extinguished, revealing the Dragon Emperor standing in the darkness and void beyond.

Roar!

The True Spirit reared its head and roared to the heavens. Its massive maw, bristling with five-colored mountain-like fangs, opened wide as a swirling vortex of multicolored light formed within. A devouring force surged forth, aiming to swallow not only the Dragon Emperor, but also the space for thousands of kilometers around it.

Within this region, time and space solidified. Five-colored brilliance bled through the void at the boundaries, shaping a monstrous mouth large enough to obscure the sky, and vast enough to devour entire worlds.

The True Spirit possessed a devouring-type innate ability, and intended to swallow the Dragon Emperor in a single gulp. However, the Dragon Emperor opened its jaws wide as well. In an instant, a far more immense, pitch-black void opened behind it.

Boom!

Two space-devouring abilities collided. The resulting impact tore apart tens of thousands of kilometers, reducing it all to chaos. Then, a beam of seven-colored light thousands of kilometers long swept across the land like a tail, slicing through time and space. It instantly engulfed the Dragon Emperor.

Time itself came to a halt. A red beam of light shot out at the speed of light, streaking over a million kilometers away in a heartbeat. Only then did the earth-shaking roar of impact erupt. The red light shattered the land across tens of thousands of kilometers, sending a massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

At the explosion's center, scorching lava erupted like a fan, spraying for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. However, the land immediately began to tremble. From within the shattering light and collapsing void, the massive, savage red beast slowly emerged. Its body now burned with even fiercer black flames. Its scales gleamed brightly, not a single scratch on them.

Such overwhelming defense made the True Spirit narrow its eyes in grim focus. This beast was far more formidable than it had anticipated, and far harder to deal with.

Roar!

The True Spirit bellowed again, once more flaring with dazzling light. The ground across tens of millions of kilometers trembled faintly. Countless five-colored trees, mountains, and rivers shone with radiant glow, casting waves of brilliance that lit up the entire night sky. Bathed in the boundless five-colored radiance, the True Spirit's mountain-thick flesh that had melted under the Endbringer Sun began to rapidly regenerate and regrow.

As the ruler of this world, the True Spirit wielded endless power. Unless it was completely obliterated in a single strike or its soul essence was destroyed, any injury could be instantly healed through the reverse flow of power drawn from heaven and earth.

More than that, its ten-thousand-kilometer-long body expanded even further under the influx of light. Its aura became even more vast, infused with boundless might. Simply by standing there, the surrounding world silently crumbled. Massive black rifts spread in every direction from it in an awe-inspiring display.

Such was the power of a true spirit that had become a principle-level being. It no longer had any weakness. Even the Dragon Emperor had begun to find this foe troublesome. Especially now, as the true spirit stood in the heart of the Five-Colored Empire, it resembled a god reigning within its divine region.

In every aspect, it received amplification. Its strength was elevated by a full tier. No matter how troublesome it was, however, it had to be taken down.

The Dragon Emperor threw its head back and roared toward the heavens. Blazing red light radiated from its body, dyeing the sky crimson. Beneath that sky, dark red thunderclouds churned into a storm.

This time, it didn't scatter. Instead, it condensed into a funnel a hundred thousand kilometers wide, channeling endless blood-red lightning and electromagnetic force down into the Dragon Emperor.

At the same time, bolts of black lightning erupted from deep within its muscles, releasing explosive power at its absolute limit. Two principle-level hidden abilities, the Tyrant Body and Electromagnetic Tyrant, activated in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the full release of its muscular strength and the devouring of infinite electromagnetic energy from heaven and earth, both abilities erupted together, and the Dragon Emperor surged to fifty thousand meters. Its muscles swelled, its scales bulging outward. Its entire body became wreathed in arcs of blood-red, golden-red, and black lightning.

The power was so immense, so heavy, that the surrounding space-time collapsed into a black hole ten thousand kilometers wide. Invisible gravitational force twisted everything nearby, devouring even the light.

Even the True Spirit felt a moment of dread. Without a sound, the space above its head dissolved. From within a pitch-black void, a claw engulfed in black flames and wrapped in triple-colored lightning came crashing down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a strike of supreme tyranny, the space around the True Spirit began to reconverge. Yet the barrier of five-colored principle, ten thousand kilometers thick, shattered in an instant.

Time and space froze. Only darkness remained, endlessly multiplying. It was a phenomenon in which all things were destroyed and returned to nothing. Even sound disappeared. All that remained was the sight of theTrueSpirit's thousand-kilometer-wide head crumbling piece by piece.

When half of the colossal head had been obliterated, a pained and furious roar tore through space-time, and time began to flow once more. The True Spirit sank violently. Its entire front half had been slammed into the ground by that tyrannical claw, and in the next instant, a blinding burst of light exploded outward.

Boom!

Space shattered, the ground exploded, and endless waves of molten lava erupted outward, forming ring-shaped shockwaves one after another. At the heart of the earth-shattering light, a bladelike tail—razor-sharp and deadly—slashed across space-time. The instant the True Spirit roared in fury, the blade struck at its neck.

Bang!

The five-colored ridge, spanning over eight hundred kilometers in diameter, shattered under the tail blade's unrivaled sharpness. A massive gash hundreds of kilometers long and over two hundred kilometers deep was carved into its neck. Within the rift, one could faintly glimpse bones like five-colored refined steel and layers of flesh torn apart like crystalline ice, forming what resembled a canyon.

Just as the tail blade was about to sever the True Spirit's neck, the Dragon Emperor vanished.

Boom!

A five-colored pillar of light, hundreds of kilometers wide and capable of tearing space-time apart, engulfed the place where the Dragon Emperor had just been. It carved out a pitch-black passageway that stretched from sky to earth, then vanished deep into the ground, obliterating everything in its path.

It came from none other than the True Spirit. A massive eye on the side of its abdomen, shaped like a vast lake, had fired the beam. It flickered with endless five-colored brilliance, as if it were connected to an entire world governed by a five-colored principle.

It was mysterious and immeasurably powerful, yet in the next instant, it exploded. Beneath the collapsing fragments, a figure emerged.
