Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

Heavy footsteps crushed the Earth, a ferocious behemoth, two hundred and fifty meters in length, shrouded in red lightning, advanced slowly, exuding an extremely ferocious and terrifying aura.

A heavy and terrifying pressure emanated from its body, pushing the sea water aside to form a vacuum area hundreds of meters in range.

Observing the feeble Red Beast, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s golden vertical pupils glinted coldly, as firelight burst forth from its mouth and nostrils alongside a deep roar.

“I am the Thunderflame Dragon King of the Dragon Palace, Tim Abbott, Brock Abbott.”

“From the battle just now, the strength you’ve shown has gained my acknowledgment. Now you have two choices, join the Dragon Palace, or be killed by me.”

This Red Beast was very strong, at the Late Stage 9, and under the influence of two Top Tier Talents, its combat power had reached the quasi-mythical level, no less than the previously encountered Sword Dragon Giant Beast.

Of course, that was when the Sword Dragon Giant Beast had not used its Law Power.

But even so, it was already supremely powerful, nearly a leap across realms, particularly with the peculiar Black and White Neck Ring Ability, stronger than Haward Jones’s Day and Night Alternation.

When its eyes opened, daylight emerged, and it transformed into a white beast of blazing fire, elemental in nature, immune to most physical damage. When its eyes closed, night fell, and its body size increased tenfold, its flesh and blood immensely staunch.

Beyond that, there was also the slow Time Power involved during the transition of day to night.

Both of these formidable talents somewhat tempted the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon.

At this point, its Evolution value had accumulated over twenty-eight thousand, nearing its Fifth Evolution, but it had not yet decided what to absorb for its fifth talent.

Given the Red Beast’s special and powerful talents, it planned to keep it for the time being, in case no suitable targets were found…

As these thoughts churned in the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s mind, waiting for death to descend upon it, the Red Beast’s gaze flickered in disbelief, struggling to comprehend.

Not… going… to… die?

It… seems… to… invite… me… to… join… something… called… the… Dragon Palace.

What… is… the… Dragon Palace?

And… what… is… the… Beast… Empire?

Why… beat… me… up?

For a moment, the Red Beast was dumbfounded on the spot.

Observing the Red Beast that did not react for a long while, the gaze of the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon grew increasingly chilly. Does this creature want to die? Or were my words not clear enough?

Or perhaps it has a problem with its brain, preferring death over submission and joining the Dragon Palace?

With this thought, a terrifying intent to kill spread from the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, about to obliterate the Giant Beast’s head with one blow. It was then that the Giant Beast let out a slow, low growl.

“Roar! I… am… willing… to… join.”

Of course, the Red Beast did not want to die if it could live, and submitting to this terrifying Black-red Colossal Beast didn’t feel like losing face; this creature was too perverse.

Just at Level 9 Early Stage, and yet in a situation with such huge gaps in every aspect, it could still overpower it. It was even more monstrous than the beast itself.

…Watching the Red Beast finally catch up after a while, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon found its gaze becoming odd; why did it always feel like this creature was a bit slow-witted?

Nevertheless, since it chose to join, keep it alive for now.

In contemplation, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s red lightning slowly faded, and its colossal form shrank, in the blink of an eye, back to one hundred and sixty meters.

Having subdued a Level 9 Giant Beast, and one that matched the strength of a quasi-mythical level beast in the late stage of Level 9, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon growled its customary address.

“Roar! Welcome to the Dragon Palace family, from now on we are family, good brothers, we fight together, we eat meat together.”

“By the way, do you have a name?”

Facing a series of inquiries from the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, the Red Beast stared blankly at it, it took a while to come back to its senses, and then it slowly growled, “Roar! I, don’t, have, a, name.”

Why was this fellow’s reaction so delayed, could it be an idiot? Were there also idiots among Mutated Creatures? The Thunderflame Emperor Dragon was somewhat baffled.

No, if it were stupid, how could this fellow grow to be a Late Stage 9?

Regaining its senses, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon let out a deep roar, “In that case, this king will give you one.”

The Thunderflame Emperor Dragon was quite confident in naming, after all, the Single-horned Tiger Kingfish, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, and the like had their domineering names bestowed by it.

Looking at the Red Beast’s massive body that resembled the Eastern Divine Dragon, along with its special talent that made it seem like dawn when its eyes opened and night when they closed, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon growled lowly.

“From today on, you shall be called ‘Candle Dragon,’ in charge of the alternation of day and night.”

After saying that, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon nodded in satisfaction, very pleased with the name it had chosen.

“Alright, I went a bit hard earlier, you should recover from your injuries first, and meanwhile, this king needs to rest a while.”

After transforming into the gigantified state for more than ten minutes, even with the terrifying vitality of the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, the toll was significant, and it felt somewhat weak, in need of rest like after an exerting feat.

This guy’s Talent Ability was too bizarre, even for the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, it took over a dozen blasts to exhaust the Origin of his Talent Ability.

As the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon turned around and lay down on a raised hundred-meter boulder to rest, the Red Beast in the distance suddenly let out an excited roar.

“Roar! I, Candle Dragon, now, have, a, name.”

Watching the Red Beast take several minutes to react, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s eyes reflected deep thought.

Indeed, there was something off about this fellow, was it due to his Talent Ability?

About half an hour later, as the Red Beast had regained some of its strength, it closed and opened its eyes, and instantly, day and night alternated within a ten-kilometer radius underwater, as the power related to time descended once more.

Under the effect of that special power, the blood flowing from the Red Beast’s body reversed course, and the terrifying wounds on its body began to regenerate at an increasing speed.

This was the terrifying vitality of a Level 9 Giant Beast.

For a Level 9 Giant Beast, as long as the injury was not fatal, even severed limbs could regenerate in a short time, much like the Nine-headed Dragon Kidora.

However, while the external injuries on the Red Beast healed, the damage sustained in the battle remained; it would take at least ten days to half a month to fully recover its energies.

As the Red Beast regained its ability to move, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon stood up in the distance.

“Roar! Candle Dragon, do you know of any other Level 9 Giant Beasts in the nearby sea area?”

Facing the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon’s inquiry, the Red Beast paused for about a minute before it came back to its senses and let out a muffled low growl, “Roar! Know, one, quite, far, away.”

This guy, does it stay within that special Time Power even when not in combat form?

Noticing the abnormality of the Red Beast, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon thoughtfully growled, “Lead the way, let’s go eat it.”

“…Okay.”

Guided by the Red Beast, the two Giant Beasts disappeared in a blink into the dark sea beneath, leaving behind mountain ranges turned to ruins and countless Marine Life corpses killed by the aftershocks.
