Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

The Thunderflame Emperor Dragon shook its head, “Roar! All right, I’m going into hibernation.”

But there is one more thing to do before hibernation.

With heavy steps, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon crossed the palace to the Lava Lake behind it, its massive body stirring up rolling waves of scorching magma to come before the purple Dragon Egg.

Because it was stuck at the peak of the eighth level, it had accumulated a lot of ‘energy’ in its body, enough to share a portion of Essence Blood with the Dragon Egg without affecting its upcoming breakthrough.

Buzz! The moment the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon gently held the Dragon Egg in its hand, the egg vibrated with a humming sound, conveying a faint sense of joy and happiness.

“Roar! Eat,” it growled.

The low growl coincided with the gathering of pure Life Energy from within the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, greedily absorbed by the purple Dragon Egg. Under the influence of the pure Emperor Dragon Life Force, the life aura of the purple Dragon Egg kept increasing, the effect far surpassing previous attempts. As the life aura thrived, wisps of purple emanated from the Dragon Egg, forming pure purple Source of Life which made the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon pause slightly.

For it had just realized that these surges of Source of Life might not be an issue with the purple Dragon Egg, but could actually be its ‘Gifted Power.’

Compared to the combat-enhancing talents of the Thunderflame Emperor Beast, the abilities possessed by the Monarch-Level Life nurtured by this egg seemed more like Creation.

Bestowing Creation upon other lives.

But this talent was beyond its control; each instinctual circulation would consume its life force, which should be the real reason for the egg’s continuous weakness.

After thinking it over, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon put down the egg, which was emitting an emotion of joyful attachment, “Roar! I am going into hibernation now; you stay here and behave.”

As it spoke, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s claw exerted a suction force, gathering the Source of Life that had congregated around the purple Dragon Egg into its claw.

Back at the mouth of the volcano, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, fighting off drowsiness, waited another two hours, then the silver runes on its feather horns shone.

At the same time, in the hotel room where Jack Clark had been waiting, a golden red light emerged on his arm.

Buzz!

As a Spatial Channel opened, a small black bottle appeared at the mouth of the volcano. Under the force of the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s will, the purple substance was sealed inside it.

Once the bottle containing the Emperor-Level Dragon Life Origin Substance disappeared, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon closed the pathway, its aura remaining strong and majestic, without the slightest impact.

At this point, it was more than capable of sustaining such a vast Spatial Channel.

It wasn’t until all matters were settled that the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon roared and plunged into the volcano’s mouth, instantly causing the magma to explode and the flames to burn wildly.

In the searing magma, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon continued to dive deeper, five hundred meters, one thousand meters, three thousand meters…

As the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon went deeper, the surrounding magma grew hotter, especially the invisible, immense pressure from the Earth, which was dozens of times greater than that of sea water.

When it reached nearly ten thousand meters deep into the volcano, the magma around the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon had turned into a dazzling golden color, tumultuously boiling and emitting fiery high temperatures.

In fact, the temperature of the magma here was only around two thousand degrees Celsius, not much higher than what erupted on the surface.

But because of venturing deep underground, what’s even more terrifying here is the horrifying pressure that can transform substances into diamonds, squeezing the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon from all directions.

“Roar! Comfortable.”

Showing a human-like expression of comfort on its face, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon slowly closed its eyes, its massive body sprawled over an outcropping of black-gold rock and fell into hibernation.

A Giant Beast’s breakthrough to Level 9 is different from breaking through to Level 8. Level 8 is the process of the manifestation and consolidation of innate talent.

Whereas Level 9 involves the fusion of flesh, spirit, will, domain, and talent into one, everything integrating into a small world.

In such a case, the Giant Beast’s physical body would undergo a transformative growth, making both its body and innate powers even stronger.

For example, the Mysterious Martial Giant Tortoise, when it unleashes its talent at full strength, can affect an area of several kilometers, freezing everything, its strength as vast and endless as the ocean.

And all of this is in preparation for the breakthrough to Mythical-level, readying the talent for the promotion of rules.

Huff huff!! As it slumbered, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon exuded a strong suction force, with the scorching energy contained in the surrounding magma crazily flowing towards it.

Its terrifying physical body, comparable to dozens of its peers at the Eighth Level, was like a black hole, devouring all the energy around it.

While the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon was in hibernation, Jack Clark also felt some effects, as half of his consciousness became somewhat groggy, on the brink of sleepiness.

Jack Clark, holding a blackbottle, shook his head to suppress the intense sleepiness and then focused his gaze on the Source of Life within his grasp.

He wondered if he could absorb the Life Energy of an Emperor-Level Dragon species.

With that thought in mind, Jack Clark slowly opened the bottle, and immediately a terrifying and oppressive aura of life filled the air.

Jack Clark hurriedly unleashed his Spiritual Will to seal the surroundings, enveloping the life aura within.

“Such a strong scent of life energy, but it’s a pity I can’t convert it into Attribute points.” Looking at the bottle full of purple substance and the unresponsive attribute page, Jack Clark felt regretful.

Then after a brief contemplation, he poured a few drops into his mouth.

Boom! Those few drops of life substance exploded within Jack Clark’s body, turning into a wild rush of Life Energy.

The Emperor Dragon Essence Blood within Jack Clark was also activated, transforming into black-red Scaled Armor that covered his entire body, emitting a heavy and fierce aura.

Only when the boiling Qi Blood within him settled down did Jack Clark slowly exhale a breath, a look of regret in his eyes, because such a thing could not be consumed recklessly by ‘humans’.

As an Origin Substance that can promote the bloodline evolution of Extraordinary Creatures above Level 7, the Life Energy contained within the Origin Substance was secondary; the core was the power to incite the evolution of the bloodline.

Humans and Giant Beasts are two different ‘forms of life,’ and consuming such substance is not only ineffective for humans but also a ‘poison.’ Ordinary cultivators would explode and perish immediately upon ingestion.

Jack Clark was unharmed after drinking it because his physique had long undergone a quality transformation, possessing half ‘dragon’ and a faint ‘elephant’ attribute, and the level of his dragon blood had also reached Monarch.

Moreover, precisely because the level of his dragon blood was so high, the Source of Life he had just ingested only made him full of energy and his physical body infused with an even stronger vitality.

And then nothing more.

However, Jack Clark had been mentally prepared for this point, and he did not intend the Source of Life for his own use.
