Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 466: Silver Dragon's Father, Time Pause (II)

The Silver Colossal Dragon, standing by the shore, nodded slightly and let out a regal growl. Roar! King of Day and Night, welcome to the Dragon Palace. From now on, we are family.

The Nine-Headed Serpent’s heads swayed and roared excitedly. Roar! Roar! Roar! Welcome, kill them all, take it all, eat it all!

After the two colossal beasts had finished speaking, they noticed the Red Colossal Beast staring blankly at them, which left them both somewhat puzzled.

Wait, was there something wrong with what we just said?

After a two-minute awkward silence, the Red Beast finally reacted, slowly growling. Roar... Sai... xi... tia... Ghi... do... rah... Hello.

The Silver Dragon and Ghidorah's nine heads were filled with question marks. What is going on? Is this beast an idiot?

Perplexed, the two beasts turned their gaze toward the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor roared in a low voice. Roar! Zhulong’s ability involves time. Aside from when it's in battle, its reaction is usually a bit slow. Sometimes, it even disconnects.

Roar! Roar! Roar! So that's how it is. Ghidorah's nine heads bobbed in realization.

Roar! A time ability? Unlike the Serpent, who seemed to suddenly understand, the Silver Dragon's eyes widened in disbelief as it looked at the Red Beast.

This seemingly slow-witted creature actually possesses a time-related ability?

Seeing the Silver Dragon's shocked expression, the Dragon Emperor found it odd. Roar! Saixitia, it’s just a time ability, why are you so shocked?

Was the Red Beast's ability powerful? Yes, but in the Dragon Emperor's eyes, it wasn't that big of a deal.

Back then, even when standing still in its gigantic form, Zhulong couldn't do much damage to it. If it weren’t for Zhulong’s ability to turn into pure elemental energy, the Dragon Emperor could have severely injured it within a few moves in that form.

The Silver Dragon was excited. Roar! A time ability is extremely powerful. Colossal beasts with such abilities are typically invincible at the same level, just like my father.

The Serpent was instantly surprised. Roar! Roar! Roar! Saixitia, you actually have a father?

Immediately, the Silver Dragon and the Dragon Emperor fell speechless.

The Dragon Emperor grunted in exasperation. Roar! Ghidorah, isn't that obvious? Of course, Saixitia has a father. What, do you think it popped out of a rock?

After saying this, however, it also grew curious and looked at the Silver Dragon. Roar! Saixitia, is your father a mythical colossal beast that controls time?

The Silver Dragon's tail instantly perked up, and it raised its head proudly. Roar! That's right, my father mastered the ability of Time Pause. He's incredibly powerful.

Roar! But later, he had a fight with my mother and got beaten up by her, so I’ve never actually seen what he looks like.

Roar! Your mother... must be really strong. The Dragon Emperor was surprised. It seemed Saixitia’s mother was incredibly powerful; even a draconic colossal beast with the invincibility of Time Pause couldn't match its strength.

At that moment, the Dragon Emperor glanced around. Roar! Since Zhulong has joined the Dragon Palace as a dragon king, it needs a palace to symbolize its status. Ghidorah, could you build one over there?

Roar! Roar! Roar! No problem, leave it to me! Without hesitation, Ghidorah enthusiastically accepted the task and swam off toward the ice surface in the distance.

The Silver Dragon felt somewhat speechless as it watched the scene. Earlier, it had damaged the palace and the ice, and before it could even speak up, Ghidorah had slipped away.

While Ghidorah got busy building a palace for the once-again disconnected Zhulong, the Dragon Emperor also became occupied. Grabbing three sets of skeletons from level 9 colossal beasts, it carried them over to the nearby lava lake.

Boom!

The three massive skeletons, over a hundred meters long with relatively intact spine bones, crashed into the lava, sending molten fire splashing in all directions.

The Dragon Emperor took a deep breath, summoning a fierce wind, and then spewed out scorching golden flames from its mouth, enveloping one of the colossal beast skeletons and melting it down.

The so-called essence of heaven and earth was a semi-energy-based substance that contained special energy and could be incorporated into the ethereal world as the foundation.

The bones of these creatures, all transcendent peak level 9 colossal beasts, were incredibly durable, imbued with elemental energies just like their flesh.

Under the Dragon Emperor's intense forging, the spine quickly melted, broke down, and transformed into a semi-material, semi-energy jade-like substance. It resembled a special type of ore, with no trace left of the colossal beast’s bone structure.

Roar! Ao Tian, what are you melting these bones for? The Silver Dragon asked curiously from the side.

It had eaten plenty of these kinds of bones when it was younger. Crunchy to chew, but eating too many would cause indigestion. Plus, the energy they contained wasn’t substantial. It had stopped eating them after reaching level 7.

Roar! I'm just refining these to see if I can come up with something new. The Dragon Emperor casually made up an excuse.

Really? The Silver Dragon was skeptical, feeling like the Dragon Emperor was trying to deceive it again. This guy is always so secretive—surely, he has discovered something valuable.

With this thought in mind, the Silver Dragon’s eyes gleamed as they landed on the other two colossal beast skeletons. It subconsciously ground its teeth, wondering if it should sneak a bite or two.

As the Dragon Emperor continued breathing fire, a few hours quickly passed. Within the blazing golden flames, a ten-meter-long, half-meter-thick piece of blue jade-like stone began to emerge.

This "jade" was neither fully stone nor energy. It emitted ripples of blue light, with faint runes swirling inside, radiating a powerful energy fluctuation.

This time, the refinement was even more thorough than when the Dragon Emperor had previously smelted the bones of the Six-Armed Demonic Ape. The colossal beast's skeleton, once over a hundred meters long, had mostly turned to ash, leaving only this small piece behind.

It seems like the spatial passage runes need to be engraved again, to further enhance and expand the passage. The Dragon Emperor gazed thoughtfully at the massive piece of jade essence.

It then continued its work, and after some time, had nearly finished tempering the other two colossal beast skeletons.

Boom!

In the distance, the sea surface exploded as sharp dorsal fins and a massive black body broke through the water—it was the returning Single-Horned Kun.

Squeak! Thunder Fiery, I heard you’re back! Are we going to fight again?

The Kun, now 110 meters long, thrashed about in the sea. Its massive fins crashed down like wings and sent water splashing everywhere, making it appear incredibly excited.

After devouring the resources from dozens of resource points over the past month within its territory, this colossal beast, one of the first to follow the Dragon Emperor, was now nearing the peak of level 8.

Of course, its rapid growth was due to its powerful natural ability, combined with the fact that it was close to breaking through the late stage of level 8.

Boom!

The sea surface exploded again, and out emerged the massive Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, its heavy and ferocious shell like a small mountain. Its fierce dragon head poked out, letting out an excited roar.

Roar! Thunder Fiery, I’m super strong now! This time, I’m going to take on ten—no, twenty enemies!

...With that small body of yours, taking on twenty sounds a bit optimistic. The Dragon Emperor eyed the Dragon Turtle, which had also grown to over 110 meters long.

Roar! Not bad, at least you two didn’t slack off this time.

As it spoke, the Dragon Emperor emerged from the lava lake, its heavy footsteps crushing the ground and leaving behind lava-filled footprints as it made its way to the shoreline.

Suddenly, the sea began to bubble, and a seventy-meter-long female orca, Horn Hime, was the first to burst out of the water, followed by more than twenty mutated orcas under her command.

Squeak! Honey, you're back! The Kun's eyes immediately lit up, and it happily swam over.

The black-and-white, elegant female orca gave the Kun a glance but ignored him. Instead, she turned her head toward the Dragon Emperor in the distance and let out a respectful low sound.

Squeak! Congratulations, Your Majesty, on breaking through to the middle stage of level 9.

With the return of Horn Hime, Hu Yi and Hu Er soon followed, bringing with them a group of mutated orcas ranging from level 4 to level 6.

As dozens of massive mutated orcas gathered, the surface of the micro-world’s ocean began to boil—a truly spectacular scene.

However, as the orcas looked toward the shore and saw the Silver Dragon, the Serpent, the Red Beast, and the black-and-red colossal beast, all of them revealed looks of shock in their eyes.

Their leaders hadn't lied—the Dragon Palace was indeed powerful. Each of its dragon kings was a colossal beast of level 9, especially that black-and-red colossal beast.

Even the invisible pressure it exuded caused the orcas to instinctively feel fear and reverence.
