I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 73: Refinement

By the edge of the Magma Lake, the ten-meter-long White Fox Beast tore into the flesh of the Fire Fish ferocious beast, ripping off a small piece of bloody meat.

The Black Armored Giant Ape moved slowly along the shore, its sharp eyes scanning the lake’s surface, searching for a suitable target.

The ferocious beasts dwelling in the magma had very weak aggression; even if the Black Armored Giant Ape provoked them from the shore, they did not react, or perhaps they simply couldn’t ’hear’.

While waiting quietly, the lake surface suddenly exploded a hundred meters away, and amidst the soaring sparks, a nearly twenty-meter-long Fire Fish leapt high, its body ablaze in a magnificent and formidable display.

Roar!

A savage roar erupted as the ground beneath the Black Armored Giant Ape cracked, its massive body shot forth like a giant black cannonball, crashing into the lake alongside the Fire Fish with a booming sound, stirring up a great wave of fire.

Immediately, the lake surface exploded once more, and with eyes blood-red and filled with rage, the Giant Ape, with its body emanating a black glow, swung its right arm and paddled swiftly with its legs.

Underneath the Giant Ape’s left arm was the crushed head of a Tier Four Fire Fish, its skull already shattered.

The White Fox Beast lifted its head, startled, watching the Black Armored Giant Ape charge ashore from the Sea of Fire, with scorching magma flowing over its scale armor, its aura raging.

"Roar! Stop staring, hurry and eat, this Tier Three is too weak."

Dragging the carcass of the ferocious beast along, the Giant Ape sat down heavily beside the White Fox Beast, causing the ground to tremble mightily, kicking up a burst of wind.

Awoo awoo!! The Fox Beast came closer, nuzzling the Giant Ape with its head before turning back to nibble on its meal.

The Giant Ape, meanwhile, wrapped its arms around the Fire Fish, biting into the red-scaled corpse with its sharp, hard teeth, crunching through the scales and tearing off a large piece of bloody flesh.

Scorching blood sprayed out, dyeing the hair on its cheeks and chest red, making it look very ferocious.

In contrast, the White Fox Beast was much more refined, like a lady eating delicately, using its paws to wipe away red-stained fur around its mouth while eating.

About an hour later, the Black Armored Giant Ape had finished eating the nearly twenty-meter-long Lava Fire Fish, leaving a pile of red bones behind, while the White Fox Beast had barely made a small dent in its Tier Three Fire Fish.

"Eating so slowly, when will you break through to Tier Four?" the Black Armored Giant Ape grumbled a bit disappointedly, its enlarged body standing once again, ready to find a new target.

After glancing around, the Black Armored Giant Ape furrowed its brow.

Perhaps because of its earlier fish-blasting antics, the Fire Fish sensed the danger and stayed away from the lakeside, the nearest one leaping up over two hundred meters away.

This distance was beyond its jumping range, and without a precise lethal strike, capturing these ferocious beasts in the lake would be impossible.

As the Black Armored Giant Ape was feeling at a loss, the Fox Beast, with blood-stained lips, lifted its head, seemingly noticing the Giant Ape wasn’t ’full’, pushing the fish meat in front of it with a paw.

Seemingly saying there’s more here if needed.

"Roar! You keep this one to yourself, a Tier Three beast isn’t even a snack for me," the Giant Ape growled, unsure if the White Fox understood.

Not enough, huh.

The White Fox Beast tilted its head in thought, then crouched by the lakeside with its four paws, its tail wagging, sparking red ripples that disturbed the void once again.

Watching this scene, the Black Armored Giant Ape paused before hurriedly growling for it to stop.

Arooo!? The Fox Beast turned back, eyes showing confusion.

"Roar! Can you use that ability again?" The Black Armored Giant Ape was somewhat surprised, though its growling wasn’t as easily understood as ’human speech’.

The Black Armored Giant Ape decisively pointed into the distance, where the lake erupted, and a Tier Four Fire Fish leapt thirty meters high, a chain of fiery arcs forming behind it in the magma.

Roar! The Black Armored Giant Ape then mimicked a fist punching the ground ’gesture’.

Awoo!! The White Fox with its Feitong eyes lit up, quickly nodding, understanding the Giant Ape’s intention.

The White Fox Beast continued to gather power, and at that moment, the lake’s surface exploded once more, with a Fire Fish over eighteen meters long leaping out of it, the Fox Beast instantly vanished into thin air, appearing behind the Fire Fish.

With its four claws spread, the Fox Beast reached out, touching the Fire Fish’s back and flashing back to the shore.

Upon returning, the White Fox Beast quickly let go of the Fire Fish and jumped away, where the massive, fierce beast’s maw opened wide, red firelight shining from within.

Boom! A fist enveloped in Golden Dominance Power blasted through the air, carrying terrifying force as it punched, exploding the beast’s mouth and shattering half its head.

Bang bang bang!!

Blood spurted from the Fire Fish’s head like a fountain, staining the area red in the blink of an eye, while its massive body thrashed wildly, its tail slamming the ground with deafening booms, debris bursting in explosions.

Don’t be fooled by the fish’s ’weakness’ on land; its tail’s explosive power is actually quite astonishing.

Bam! The Black Armored Giant Ape landed another punch on the back of the ferocious beast, the powerful force shattering its scale armor, breaking its spine, instantly robbing the beast of its ability to struggle.

Such a brutally dominant scene made the somewhat weakened White Fox Beast from afar very excited.

"Roar! Nice job, Feitong." The Giant Ape turned to look at the fox beast, its mouth cracking open into a sinister smile.

Awoo!! The White Fox was pleased to see the Black Armored Giant Ape praising it, its face showing a human-like smile, its slanted eyes narrowing slightly, appearing somewhat charming.

At this moment, the Black Armored Giant Ape’s body rapidly shrank, returning to a humanoid slaughter form, and the Demon Blade in its hand directly pierced through the fish’s eye, smashing its brain.

Whoosh whoosh!!

Dense Soul Power and grievances condensed into strands of black Demonic Energy, which transformed into black patterns on Jiang Hou’s left arm, forming a more complex Hell Demon Pattern.

At the same time, the Demon Essence in Jiang Hou’s body surged, its upper limit increasing by 40 points, which surprised Jiang Hou.

After breaking through Tier Four, did killing a Tier Four Ferocious Beast only condense one Demon Pattern?

According to the Lower Hell Map’s requirement for seventy-two Demon Patterns, doesn’t that mean he has to slay seventy-two Tier Four monsters of the same level to reach Tier Four Peak!

And he would also need to fuse a Yama Prison Demon Blade or a dark attribute Divine Weapon Fragment to break through to Tier Five.

With this calculation, after reaching high-tier, the difficulty of enhancing strength skyrockets, and this is even with Jiang Hou being different from other Transcendents, as he doesn’t need the matching resources from those ruins to enhance Demonic Energy.

The path of transcendence is too difficult! Jiang Hou sighed, transforming back into beast form to devour once more.

With the help of the White Fox Beast, the hunting efficiency of the Black Armored Giant Ape greatly increased, taking about an hour and a half to hunt down a Tier Four Fire Fish.

During the White Fox Beast’s rest to recover its strength, the Black Armored Giant Ape took the opportunity to eat the Fire Fish to digest.

A whole night passed, excluding the initial travel time and the one caught by the Black Armored Giant Ape, four more Tier Four Fire Fish were slain afterward.

The energy transformed from flesh and blood increased the Black Armored Giant Ape’s body size by over twenty centimeters, while also refining 6 units of Molten Flame Element, accumulating to 37 units in total, just 13 units short of the required amount.

The Hell Demon Pattern also condensed four more, and the maximum Demon Essence in humanoid form increased by 160 points, raising the overall strength significantly, a good harvest indeed.

As for the White Fox Beast, after a whole night, it had only consumed over half of the Tier Three Fire Fish.

"Feitong, time to go back." The Black Armored Giant Ape growled lowly.

Awwoo!

The White Fox Beast responded to the Giant Ape’s urging with a low growl, its pink mouth opening, spewing a stream of red demon aura that enveloped the remaining Fire Fish corpse like smoke.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

Under the red demon aura, the flesh of the Fire Fish shriveled, strands of flesh essence transformed into red power merging into the demon aura, leaving behind a pale, rotting, foul-smelling fish corpse.

Soon, the enriched demon aura was reabsorbed by the White Fox Beast, its aura surging, increasing by about... one percent.

Obviously, the conversion efficiency of refining demon aura is very low.

Awwoo!!

The White Fox Beast growled, looking at the Tier Four Fire Fish bones left by the Black Armored Giant Ape, its mouth spewing red demon aura again, enveloping the bones.

Within those alloy-like bones, strands of red power transformed from essence were slowly being extracted.

Compared to refining Tier Three fish corpses, the speed of refining these Tier Four bones was slower. It took about half an hour for the White Fox Beast to swallow the demon aura, now enriched several times over.

Bang! The White Fox Beast emitted a radiant red light, its aura surging more than twofold, nearly reaching Mid-tier Three, its body expanding to a size of eleven meters.

Even the broken tail behind it grew crazily to over four meters long, its dense fur covering the previous scars completely.

"Roar! Why didn’t you use this move sooner?"

The Black Armored Giant Ape was speechless; this fellow could quickly refine the essence of ferocious beast flesh and bones, yet it didn’t use it sooner, wasting time by eating slowly.

Awwoo!! The White Fox Feitong licked its pink tongue as if to say it tastes better eating it this way.

Of course, another reason is that the refining effect of demon aura is much poorer, wasting much of the ferocious beast essence.

The essence of one Tier Three and five Tier Four Ferocious Beast bones only brought it close to Mid-tier Three, a far cry from the Black Armored Giant Ape’s 100% conversion into bio-energy, aiding its growth with its devouring talent.

However, the White Fox Beast’s ability was perfect for cleaning the battlefield, digesting the ferocious beast bones that the Black Armored Giant Ape couldn’t, which would be somewhat wasteful to discard.
