I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 108 - 104: Encounter in the Ruins

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Inside Jiang Hou’s body, as he broke through to mid-tier Four, the originally balanced and peaceful energy flowing along the Ren and Du Meridians roared, surging vigorously towards his right arm.

The energy passing through subtly echoed with roaring hums, gradually breaking through some kind of amassed strength.

Gradually, a delicate ’pathway’ connecting Jiang Hou’s right arm emerged from nothing, eventually forming a vortex-like circuit in his right hand’s palm.

Once this engraved pathway within the body was fully formed, a powerful sensation instantly arose from his right arm.

Boom!

Jiang Hou instinctively thrust out his palm, instantly causing the air ahead to vibrate. Under the impact of two overlapping invisible forces, he directly blasted out a several-meter-long vacuum tunnel.

"This..." Jiang Hou was somewhat astonished.

Of course, he wasn’t astonished by the power to explode the air, but rather by the newly formed circuit pathway in his right hand.

Amazingly, it enabled the eruption of power to rotate, forming a double overlay, achieving the effect of 1+1=3.

This enhancement might not seem very strong, but remember this is the normal state of attack.

Jiang Hou pondered slightly, then his left hand, holding the Demon Blade, switched to the right hand. As the Demon Essence within him circulated, the black blade aura on the Demon Blade swelled to three meters.

Boom!

The sharp, violent blade aura flew out, like a black semi-circle, instantly slashing the ground, tearing out a fissure over five meters long. The dissipating blade aura flung the rubble away, shrouding everything in dust.

However, after slashing out this blade, Jiang Hou’s eyes revealed disappointment.

It seemed the blade aura, by using the Demon Blade as a medium to slash, did not produce the rotational double overlay effect. Thus, in human form, the enhancement wasn’t significant.

After all, in human form, the main combat force is in the Demon Blade; the physical body merely acts as a power boost, making each slash more formidable.

Now, it depends on whether there’s any change in the beast form.

Earlier, the physical body’s breakthrough to Four reflected a feedback of energy, refining the body when integrating the Divine Weapon. The feedback changes significantly enhanced the agility in beast form.

The Divine Weapon’s sharpness imperceptibly emitted from the body, allowing the beast to tear through some of the air resistance when moving rapidly.

Roar! The air exploded, and amidst the howling winds, the massive Dark Armored Giant Ape reappeared. As it appeared, a touch of surprise flickered in its eyes.

A visible pathway ran along its pillar-like right arm, with a vortex circuit in its palm’s center. Instantly, the Dark Armored Giant Ape clenched its palm, igniting golden flames.

Boom!

Ahead of the black-green scale-armored fist, two layers of golden halos simultaneously erupted, instantly causing the air within a dozen meters range to rapidly expand, invisibly to the naked eye.

Boom!

The earth seemed to be bombarded by a rocket fired from a missile launch vehicle, exploding under the compressed air pressure, forming a vast crater, hurling stones and dirt skywards.

Beside, the White Fox Beast, absorbing demon energy and refining the ferocious beast’s bones, opened its mouth wide, stunned.

It felt like the ’boss’ had all sorts of powerful skills emerging one after another, violent power, enhanced defense, Destructive Dragon Claw, Demon Soul coverage, and those terrifying fists...

Compared to the myriad abilities of the Dark Armored Giant Ape, it, having broken through to tier Four, only had three special abilities. This comparison left the fox feeling a bit sad.

"It seems this is my true unique feature." The Dark Armored Giant Ape roared lowly, somewhat surprised by this transformation.

The feedback from beast form elevates the base attributes in human form, and human form’s Ninth Era evolution, in turn, reflects back on beast form, creating a dual supplement.

Under such circumstances, even without demonizing or deifying, with the dual supplement advantage, the Dark Armored Giant Ape will gradually rise, becoming invincible at the same tier, and finally fighting across tiers. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Today’s changes made Jiang Hou even more invested in researching martial arts. Compared to the Divine Weapon side’s enhancements, the evolution and transformation in human form have a greater impact on his overall strength.

Now, the White Fox Beast had also refined those bones, its body emitting demon energy which surged by another thirty percent; witnessing this, the Dark Armored Giant Ape growled: "It’s still early, let’s explore some more."

Howl! The White Fox Beast nodded excitedly, eagerly trailing behind the Dark Armored Giant Ape.

The two giant beasts headed in the opposite direction of the volcano; the surrounding trees gradually sparse, seemingly about to emerge from this forest, but no ferocious beasts were spotted.

Just as the Dark Armored Giant Ape pondered whether to search in another direction, two ferocious beast figures emerged on the distant hillside.

The two beasts resembled tyrannosaurs, but their entire bodies were covered in green cutis, one large and one small, the large one measuring over thirty meters long, while the small one was only about twenty meters.

Roar!

The two beasts had been lying under the mountain wall, but upon spotting the awe-inspiring giant ape emerging from the black mist, they instantly let out fierce roars, rose suddenly, and sprinted in opposite directions.

Moreover, the two beasts were astonishingly fast, their long legs propelling them like kangaroos, leaping a hundred or two hundred meters in a flash, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Split up and chase..." roared the Dark Armored Giant Ape, determined not to let the prey escape.

In an instant, its massive body smashed through the air, zooming after the Early-tier Five Ferocious Beast, while the White Fox Beast pursued the Mid-tier Four Tyrannosaurus.

...

Black mist spread through the desolate mountains, where a massive building stood, built against the mountain.

This ruin had already half collapsed, with cracked walls, and the exquisite carvings on its surface had long since weathered and faded, looking extremely dilapidated.

Based on the style of the murals, it could be determined that this ruin belonged to a building from the Divine Era.

And the most common thing inside such ruins was an Energy Gathering Array that had been operating for millions of years; due to the long period without anyone ’extracting’ energy, the abundant energy had slowly formed crystal mines below.

These crystal mines, when slightly refined and purified, became Energy Crystals that Transcendents from the Divine Era could absorb.

The deeper parts of the ruin had collapsed, making the once relatively intact area full of pits, with many large holes dug out and black soil piled around.

"Haha, I found another piece of crystal mine here."

With an excited voice, Jiang Wanshan poked his head out of the ground. Though covered in dust, his face was full of excitement as he tossed up a water basin-sized crystal.

The crystal was a cloudy white, emitting a strong energy fluctuation from within.

"I dug some up here too."

From a spot several dozen meters away where a stone slab had been pried open, the dirty face of Zong Zheng Nan Mo emerged, holding a large piece of cloudy white crystal.

At that moment, a beautiful red-haired woman raised her head from another large pit: "Stop talking, dig quickly. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave, to avoid any unexpected incidents."

"Yes, keep digging," Jiang Wanshan nodded excitedly.

In their hands, they all held an alloy pickaxe, a necessary tool for Transcendents entering ruins.

During the day, due to ominous auguries, Zong Zheng Nan Mo dared not venture out.

Even after agreeing to team up with Jiang Wanshan and the others, he waited until past midnight, as it would be the next day, and his first divination after entering the passage was favorable today.

A small misfortune, intertwined with fortune and misfortune, so the group of four advanced in the direction indicated by Zong Zheng Nan Mo, expecting some danger.

The journey had its thrills and spills, and they finally discovered the ruin in this valley.

After dealing with several Tier Three Monsters lingering around the ruin, it was harvest time.

By now, including Fu Hongyu, the four had been digging for several hours and had excavated more than sixty crystal mines.

These crystal mines would be purified by the auxiliary department, and after deducting a ’fee,’ each of them would get about eight crystals.

In addition to the two Ancient Armors still in decent condition they had retrieved from the monsters, which, once purified of pollution and reforged, would earn them more points, making the harvest quite satisfying.

Therefore, the group was full of enthusiasm and quickly finished digging all the places underground that could be excavated.

"The three of us will carry the crystal mines, Zong Zheng, since you’re a bit weaker, just take those damaged armors."

"Okay!"

The four did not hesitate, pulling out large, elastic backpacks, loading up the crystal mines, and soon carrying backpacks several times their own size as they left the ruin.

Though all four were somewhat dusty, resembling miners who had just climbed out from underground, their faces were filled with excitement.

But the nearest passage entrance was still more than an hour’s journey away, they couldn’t let their guard down, as ruins were treacherous.

But sometimes what you fear comes true; just as the four stepped out of the valley, they froze, staring ahead in shock.

There, black mists churned, and a thirty-meter-high black Giant Ape Beast stood, towering as high as a ten-story building, subtly emitting a terrifying aura of Tier Five.

The aura was so fearsome that it dispersed the surrounding black mist, forming a mist-free zone with a radius of dozens of meters.

Beneath this Giant Ape Beast lay the corpse of another ferocious beast emanating the same Tier Five aura, its nearly severed neck spurting dark red blood like a mountain flood, staining the earth for dozens of meters around in red.

Even though they were two or three hundred meters away, the four could smell the intense scent of blood.

Instantly, all of them felt their legs weaken, especially the woman named Li Mo, whose face showed despair.

"It’s a Tier Five ferocious beast, we’re done for!"
