I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 134 - 129: The Return of the ’Dragon’s’ Aura
Amidst the entangled vines resembling a crisscrossed mountain range, a forty-meter tall ferocious beast cautiously followed behind the White Fox Beast, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.
They had just entered when the White Fox Beast suddenly halted, its fur bristling as it let out a wary growl.
"What’s wrong, Feitong?" the Dark Armored Giant Ape rumbled, its deep growl vibrating the air.
Growl!! The White Fox Beast shook its head gravely, extending its paw to point ahead.
"Is it dangerous ahead, and we shouldn’t go?"
The White Fox Beast quickly nodded.
"In that case, let’s change direction," the Dark Armored Giant Ape growled.
Feitong, staying with it every day, understood its power. If it said not to proceed, it must have sensed the presence of a beast stronger than the Dark Armored Giant Ape.
Not long after the two beasts departed, the clouds above the vines abruptly dispersed, revealing a Blood-colored Great Peng with a wingspan of two hundred meters circling high in the sky, searching with fierce eyes.
Not far ahead, it vaguely sensed that faint ’dragon’ aura again.
However, black mist filled the heavens and earth, and the mountains were covered with innumerable vines. After circling for a while, the Blood-winged Great Peng found nothing.
After moving away from that dangerous direction, the White Fox Beast led them for over two hours before they finally made a discovery.
In a ’forest’ where massive vines hung down, stood a crumbling ruin that looked like a Stone Tower made of piled black boulders.
Blue vines, resembling climbing plants, grew from the gaps in the boulders, densely covering the area like a small mountain, with watermelon-sized black fruits hanging from them.
In this ruinous small mountain, over twenty massive ferocious beasts resembling Mountain Demons were lurking. The two leading ones were over thirty meters tall, with an aura of Late-tier Five.
The eyes of the Dark Armored Giant Ape lit up upon finally discovering food.
Roar!
The beast, enflamed with black and red fire on its body, roared and shot out with a thunderous boom, causing explosive shockwaves to sweep through like a tsunami.
Roar roar!! The group of Mountain Demon Ferocious Beasts immediately became agitated. The two Tier Five Ferocious Beasts roared, their eyes filled with ferocity and no fear, directly facing the Giant Ape.
At the same time, the other Mountain Demon Ferocious Beasts followed closely, charging at the Dark Armored Giant Ape from all directions along the vines.
The distance of several hundred meters was crossed in an instant as three beasts, each thirty or forty meters tall, collided.
Boom!!
Ignoring attacks, the Dark Armored Giant Ape sent one Mountain Demon flying with a back charge as soon as they met, its chest collapsing under the impact as its scale armor shattered.
As it sent that Mountain Demon flying, the Dark Armored Giant Ape stomped the ground with its right foot, its body spinning, and its arm, as thick as a mountain pillar, swung with a piercing roar.
Roar!! The slightly slower attacking Mountain Demon Ferocious Beast roared, instinctively using its longer arms than the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s to shield its body.
Boom!
A substantial white shockwave exploded, and under the irresistible force, the Mountain Demon Ferocious Beast’s arms broke. Its chest emitted a clear breaking sound, and it spewed blood as it was sent flying for hundreds of meters. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Roar! The Dark Armored Giant Ape roared, gravely injuring two Tier Five Ferocious Beasts, and reached out its enormous hand to grab two Tier Three Ferocious Beasts leaping in mid-air.
The ten-meter tall figures were like three-year-old children before it. The Dark Armored Giant Ape needed only to exert its power to crush them.
But in the end, it only used slight force to crush the bones of the two ferocious beasts before tossing them aside. The ground beneath its feet cracked as it rushed directly at the two injured Tier Five Ferocious Beasts.
Boom boom boom!! Several pounced Tier Three Ferocious Beasts were sent flying by the Giant Ape.
Roar! The colossal ferocious beast barely climbed to its feet before being grabbed by the head and pressed against the mountainside by the Dark Armored Giant Ape. Boom! The rocks shattered, and the ferocious beast wailed.
Splat!! The Mountain Demon Ferocious Beast’s arms were directly torn apart by the Giant Ape. Dark red blood sprayed from it like a mountain torrent, and then its legs were also crushed.
At that moment, with a howling wind behind the Dark Armored Giant Ape, a Mountain Demon with a collapsed chest and four claws on the ground charged at it, dark red blood mist swirling around its body, exuding a vicious aura.
Roar!! The ferocious beast roared, and within the blood mist, it leapt forward, raising a gale as its claws spread wide to plunge at the Giant Ape.
Those extended claws were several times larger, and the ten-meter-long sharp claws were wrapped in red light, emitting an astonishingly sharp aura like ten massive curved blades.
The Giant Ape roared, its enormous body leaping high, as the two massive beasts clashed in mid-air.
Boom boom boom!!
Five blood-red sharp claws struck the Dark Armored Giant Ape. The sharpness severed its black fur, tough as steel wire, but couldn’t shake the thick scale armor beneath.
Passing by each other in an instant, the Giant Ape’s palm grabbed the face of the Mountain Demon Ferocious Beast, and the counteracting force almost tore off the beast’s head, causing its neck to crack audibly.
Boom!
The over thirty-meter-tall ferocious beast was like a dunking basketball as the Giant Ape slammed it to the ground. The earth shattered within tens of meters, a violent impact exploding into a cloud of dust.
Such a display of might gave pause to the surrounding ferocious Mountain Demons.
At that moment, as the dust dissipated, it revealed the corpse of a beast with a cracked head and a tiny figure standing on it, holding a Demon Blade with black arcs of electricity jumping over its body.
Boom! As Demonic Energy burst forth from Jiang Hou, he transformed into a black shadow, shooting out swiftly.
Woo woo woo!! The Mountain Demon Ferocious Beasts, standing over ten meters tall with shoulder heights over five meters on all fours, roared as they madly pounced at Jiang Hou.
In their limited minds, they did not ponder why the massive beast disappeared, nor why a tiny insect appeared. They only wanted to tear everything apart at this moment.
Splat!! A black blade aura over six meters long instantly slashed, directly disemboweling a Mountain Demon, spilling hot blood mixed with viscera all over the ground.
Jiang Hou’s power in human form, with Late-tier Four capabilities, was equally formidable, beyond what these Tier Three Ferocious Beasts could withstand.
Under the unstoppable black blade aura, one ferocious beast after another flipped over, slashed apart, leaving fragmented remains and scattered limbs with blood raining down, staining the vines and ground red.
The White Fox Beast calmly sat in the distance, watching quietly and preventing any ferocious beasts from escaping.
About ten minutes later, the dark and oppressive vine forest quieted down, leaving only bodies all over the ground, with pools of hot blood forming pits on the earth.
Jiang Hou stood amidst the corpses of the ferocious beasts, holding his blade, his long hair flowing behind him without wind, as dark demonic energy surged around him, the evil energy reaching the sky.
Two Tier Five Ferocious Beasts, more than twenty Tier Three beasts, but in the end, it only condensed 5 Hell Demon Patterns, bringing the total number to 65, just 7 short of unlocking the second layer of the Hell Map.
As the number of demon patterns approached completion, the soul power needed for each additional pattern increased several times, and the increase in demon essence limit was also greater.
However, the Divine Weapon Realm was still at late-tier Four, expecting to condense 70 demon patterns for Tier Four Peak.
In the dark, bloody vine forest, the Dark Armored Giant Ape sat on a vine as thick as ten meters, flames of black and red flickering on its body, devouring the 30-meter-long corpse of a ferocious beast with large bites.
The Giant Ape’s fangs were incredibly sharp, tearing off chunks of flesh with each bite, creating a gruesome and bloody scene.
Since merging with the attribute of steel, the Giant Ape’s bite became stronger, chewing and crushing the bones and scales of Tier Three and Four Ferocious Beasts, leaving only the spines for the White Fox Beast.
In just over an hour, the two Tier Five Ferocious Beasts were devoured completely, and after tossing the bones to the White Fox Beast watching beside, the Dark Armored Giant Ape picked up a Tier Three Mountain Demon and began eating it.
In the darkness of the forest, only the chilling sounds of swallowing could be heard.
When the White Fox Beast finished refining the essence of the two ferocious beast bones with its red demonic energy, causing the demonic energy to surge by 30%, the Dark Armored Giant Ape had almost finished eating all the flesh.
However, its size only increased from 40.1 to 40.8, even with the growth trait that multiplies its growth several times.
For the Dark Armored Giant Ape at Tier Five Peak, each centimeter of growth required over double the biological energy compared to late-tier Five, requiring higher-grade ferocious beast flesh to grow significantly.
"Let’s go, continue."
Awoooo!! The White Fox Beast nodded excitedly, its three long tails swaying, and soon the two giant beasts disappeared one after another into the depths of the vines.
Today was quite lucky.
Guided by the White Fox Beast’s sniffing, after crossing just over twenty kilometers, they had another discovery.
In the enormous vine forest, a clearing over a thousand meters in diameter revealed the long-missed ’sky.’
In the center of the clearing stood a black tree over two hundred meters high, with a trunk diameter of over twenty meters at the base, its branches lush yet leafless.
Around the roots of the black tree were scattered many huge bones of ferocious beasts, some skulls so large they seemed to be at Tier Five, piled like mountains.
Awoooo!! The White Fox Beast’s eyes showed both solemnity and excitement, as if saying there was a treasure.
"A treasure?"
The Dark Armored Giant Ape looked at the black tree and the countless bones scattered on the ground, and then the golden patterns on its two rows of black armor on its back lit up one by one.
Buzz! White light emanated from the open mouth of the Dark Armored Giant Ape, and a vast, scorching energy instantly gathered in its throat.
Boom!
A white beam of light a meter in diameter shot out violently, like a light cannon annihilating the air, emitting terrifying energy waves.
Meanwhile, the black tree, which had been standing still, began to thrash its branches wildly, its insides spewing black energy like mist, forming a wall several meters thick in front of it.
Boom!
The breath cannon pierced through the black mist, emitting a magnificent glow and hitting the trunk, causing the ground to shake, as the dazzling white light explosion illuminated the sky and earth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The ground around the tree rolled like a dragon, with enormous tree roots sweeping across like giant pythons, some roots a meter in diameter intertwining to form a wall in front of it.
Boom! Under the beam, the tree roots shattered, unstoppable.
At this moment, the Dark Armored Demon Ape lowered its head, its mouth continuously spewing the breath cannon downward, aiming at the root of the black tree.
Suddenly, the branches of the black tree shivered more violently, with endless black energy erupting from within the trunk, trying to resist and dissolve the power of the breath.
After almost a minute of continuous spraying, the Dark Armored Giant Ape’s breath finally began to die down, the white energy within it almost exhausted, its mouth breathing heavily.
And the distant black tree was already motionless.
Thirty meters from the ground, the trunk had been blasted through, forming a hole nearly ten meters in diameter, with a deep trench stretching down to the roots.
There, too, a large pit three meters across had been blasted out, the surrounding trunk blackened and charred.
"Don’t come over; I’ll check it out first." The Dark Armored Giant Ape growled, signaling the White Fox Beast to stay back.
Although this black tree couldn’t move, its strength was formidable, radiating an aura equivalent to early-tier Six, enough to instantly kill the White Fox Beast if it ambushed it.
Unfortunately, the tree couldn’t move, making it a sitting target for the Dark Armored Giant Ape.
With heavy steps, the Dark Armored Giant Ape slowly approached the black tree, but when it was over fifty meters away... Bang! Bang! Bang!! Two black spikes shot out from the ground beneath the Giant Ape.
The speed almost reached the speed of sound, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom.
Boom! Boom!! The black spikes, over half a meter in diameter, were caught by the Giant Ape, the powerful penetrating force and the rapid friction against the Giant Ape’s palm producing a piercing roar.
Once the force was exhausted, the two spikes slowly fell on the ape’s chest.
Roar! The Dark Armored Demon Ape roared, its arm muscles swelling, and with a burst of power, it yanked fiercely, causing the ground to shatter layer by layer, reaching the base of the tree.
Boom! The charred roots connected to the tree exploded, tearing open a big hole, revealing a green crystal.
Meanwhile, as these two tree roots broke, the black tree completely lost its energy waves.
Awoooo!! The White Fox Beast flashed beside the Giant Ape, its eyes filled with excitement looking at the green crystal.
While the Dark Armored Giant Ape was killing the black ferocious tree, the Blood-winged Great Peng at Tier Six Peak whipped up a skyful of red demonic energy, occasionally swooping down from the dark clouds.
However, with the vines covering the mountains and the black mist isolating its aura and vision, it couldn’t find the Dark Armored Giant Ape in the endless vine forest.
