I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 182 - 176: You Really Showed Off This Time

At the edge of the industrial town shrouded in thick black smoke, three Tier Four Transcendents dressed in military uniforms stood silently on a hillside waiting.

Soon, the ground began to tremble from the front as if some gigantic creature was approaching, followed by black mist boiling like seawater and dispersing to the sides, forming a passageway.

There stood a colossal beast as tall as a thirty-story building, with black flames burning on its body, emanating a terrifying aura.

Behind that giant beast dragged an even larger ferocious beast skeleton, with red ribs spreading tens of meters wide like a small mountain.

The leading Tier Five Transcendent solemnly saluted, "Major Jiang, we were ordered to wait here to receive the ferocious beast skeleton."

A corpse of a beast of this level needs to be processed before appearing in the real world; otherwise, the pollution it emits would instantly radiate over a range of several kilometers, causing mutations in humans and animals.

Boom! The Purgatory Demon Ape carelessly tossed the ferocious beast's tailbone, making a heavy thudding noise as it hit the ground.

Then the flames on the Purgatory Demon Ape's body receded, its form rapidly shrinking, and in a blink of an eye, it returned to its human slaughter form carrying the Demon Blade and nodded slightly to the three individuals.

"I'll leave it to you."

After saying this, Jiang Hou's figure blurred and disappeared into the black mist at the end of the road.

Whew!

Once Jiang Hou had left, the three military Transcendents all breathed a sigh of relief, and one late-tier Four even clutched their violently beating chest.

"It's terrifying. Is this the aura of a Tier Seven powerhouse?"

The leading middle-aged man shook his head, "No, Major Jiang is not an ordinary Tier Seven. At least, Minister Lei and General Ye don't have such a terrifying oppressive feeling."

......

When Jiang Hou arrived in Demon Sea City by military vehicle, this vast city had already awakened.

Returning to the Demon Sea Celestial Punishment Headquarters, Jiang Hou went straight to the cafeteria. Although his human form has already reached Tier Six and belongs to the physical side, not eating or drinking for one or two months wouldn't be a problem.

But having three meals a day was a human habit, one he maintained whenever possible.

And it wasn't just Jiang Hou. When he arrived at the cafeteria, he saw Vice Minister Lei Chengxuan, Zong Zheng Nan Mo, and Ao Ye sitting together.

At another table nearby, Jiang Ruochan with her black hair hanging over her shoulders, was eating fried dough sticks and soy milk at a leisurely pace, appearing like an ordinary high school student.

It was hard to imagine that last night, this girl had entered her strongest form, wielding a sword in one hand, and slashed down an Evil God capable of destroying a city in just a few strikes.

"Jiang Hou, you're back," Zong Zheng Nan Mo was the first to notice Jiang Hou, waving to greet him.

But as Jiang Hou approached, sensing the aura of his newly ascended Tier Six that he hadn't fully contained, Lei Chengxuan and Ao Ye both displayed surprise on their faces.

"Major Jiang, your...aura?"

They remembered that before departing yesterday, Jiang Hou's human form was just at Tier Five Peak, right? And this Tier Six aura didn't seem like it was from the Divine Weapon side.

It lacked that world-tearing sharp edge.

"I absorbed the essence of the Tier Seven Ferocious Beast's blood and flesh, and my beast form's power increased a bit, subsequently enhancing my physical body to Tier Six."

Saying this, Jiang Hou sat down opposite Jiang Ruochan and waved to a nearby server, "Ten steamed buns, soy milk, and a plate of spicy multilayer pancake."

This was the Transcendent cafeteria, served by designated personnel, so individuals like Jiang Hou didn't need to queue up for food like in a normal cafeteria.

Jiang Hou looked at the black-haired girl opposite him, "President, my Yama Prison Demon Blade has now reached Tier Five Peak, but I lack a Dark Divine Weapon Fragment for a breakthrough."

"You know a lot of people, could you help find out who might have one?"

"So soon..." Jiang Ruochan was slightly taken aback.

At that time, Jiang Hou was over twenty kilometers away from the Evil God battleground, so Jiang Ruochan and the others didn't 'witness' Jiang Hou slaying the deathly creature.

After saying this, Jiang Ruochan pondered, "I'll ask around in the group later; these things typically don't appear on exchange platforms."

"Thanks, President," Jiang Hou smiled.

Even without the corresponding Yanyu Demon Blade Fragment, without gaining the corresponding legacy through fusion, it didn't matter. Jiang Hou valued the body refinement from the Divine Weapon breakthrough more.

After finishing this topic, Jiang Ruochan discussed the main matter, "Jiang Hou, that Evil God corpse was tested with special equipment, and roughly 115 units of Power of the World can be extracted."

"At a rate of ten thousand points per unit, it's worth 1.15 million points."

"In addition, the ancient fierce beast's flesh, scale armor, and bones are valued at around sixty thousand; total harvest of this venture is 1.21 million points."

This operation wasn't an official mission; it was their 'private' hunt deep within the ruins.

Therefore, there were no base points for slaying a Tier Seven Ferocious Beast, no additional fifty thousand rewards for an Tier Eight Evil God, just the value of the corpses themselves.

"By the way, you handed over the ferocious beast skeleton to the military personnel, right?" Jiang Ruochan inquired.

Jiang Hou nodded, and upon seeing this, the black-haired girl continued, "According to our prior distribution, you, Lei Chengxuan, and Ye Hong each get 242,000 points."

"But that ferocious beast skeleton is worth around 15,000 points, so deducting 45,000, you have 197,000 points left, is that alright?"

"No problem," Jiang Hou nodded.

Making over 200,000 points in one night, this sort of 'earning' speed was frightening; past Jiang Hou wouldn't even have dared to dream of it.

"The points will be credited to your accounts by noon, including Zong Zheng's twenty thousand or so."

After explaining this, Jiang Ruochan added, "Oh, Jiang Hou, because of your existing loan, these points will be directly deducted, and the remaining will be reimbursed later."

… Jiang Hou suddenly fell silent, nearly forgetting he still owed the government 250,000!

Zong Zheng Nan Mo, on the side, suddenly gaped, somewhat astonished, "Almost 200,000 points not even enough after deduction? Jiang Hou, how much did you borrow in points?"

Casually, Jiang Hou replied, "Not much, just 250,000, for reinforcing the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar."

Lei Chengxuan gave Jiang Hou a thumbs up, "Brother Jiang is very willing to part with his points; I wouldn't have the heart to spend over 200,000 on an extraordinary weapon."

"Such a large amount of points is enough to redeem a complete Ancient Divine Artifact."

"Though these Ancient Divine Artifacts have no divinity left due to the passage of time, they are still immensely powerful, enough to last us until Tier Eight."

On this point, Jiang Hou was also somewhat helpless, "No choice—if there were an Ancient Divine Artifact suitable for my beast form, I wouldn't bother crafting one."

"Now, this Demon Suppression Pillar has already absorbed over 300,000 points, barely enough for my Tier Seven use."

"Upon reaching Tier Eight later, when my beast form becomes even larger and stronger, it'll cost a massive amount to recast the Demon Suppression Pillar."

As he said this, even Jiang Hou felt some headache.

The Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar was very useful; one strike could blow apart an equal-rank, but it was also a bottomless pit for extraordinary materials.

After breaking through to Tier Eight later, his beast form will be roughly 150 to 200 meters tall.

By then, the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar would need to be 300 to 400 meters long, with a diameter over 20 meters, just for it to be handy.

Such a massive weapon should also possess the strength to bear Tier Eight Legendary powers, demanding an astronomical amount of extraordinary materials.

Thinking this far, Jiang Hou sighed, "If only I had a Heart of the Divine Artifact."

If the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar could merge with a Heart of the Divine Artifact containing divinity, Jiang Hou could delve into the depth of ruins and directly refine extraordinary ore veins.

Hearts of the Divine Artifact had evolution capabilities, enhancing themselves through absorbed mineral essences.

Completely skipping the complex steps of mining, transporting, refining, and synthesizing.

"The Heart of the Divine Artifact."

Jiang Ruochan was somewhat surprised by Jiang Hou's 'ambition': "This thing's worth millions; even if it's on an exchange platform, you couldn't redeem it right?"

Jiang Hou shook his head, "The issue is there isn't any available."

"If Celestial Punishment internally could exchange for a Heart of the Divine Artifact, I could work a bit harder, delve into the depths and kill a few more Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts to gather a million points, it's possible." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Damn!"

Beside him, Zong Zheng Nan Mo showed a middle finger, facing a scenario where a million points, which for him is like a fantasy, seemed readily made up in Jiang Hou's words.

This show-off made Zong Zheng admit he was beaten by Jiang Hou's display.

After all, at this level of ferocious beast, even Lei Chengxuan wouldn't dare guarantee a kill; encountering a Tier Seven Peak would dangerously endanger life instead.

"Amazing, as expected from Major Jiang,"

Ao Ye, dressed in black leather, gave a thumbs-up as well.
