I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 120 - 116: Staying Together Tonight

Roaring towards the sky, the Dark Armored Demon Ape vented the destructive impulse filling its heart, then slowly stopped and turned towards Divine Palace Feiyue.

The ground trembled wherever it passed, stones leaping up.

When it got within a hundred meters of Divine Palace Feiyue, the battle array beneath the Giant Ape’s feet dispersed, transforming into a beam of golden light imprinted on its forehead, and the blood-colored Demon Ape’s virtual shadow also turned into blood light, disappearing into its body.

Simultaneously, the massive body rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye returned to the slaughter form, holding the Demon Blade, wrapped in bandages.

Surrounded by substantial white light, condensed into Light Wings, wearing magnificent armor, Divine Palace Feiyue softly exclaimed, "I didn’t expect the junior to awaken the inheritance of two great epochs."

"Just luck." Jiang Hou sighed.

Indeed, luck played a huge part in him completing the life ritual transformation; the time, place, and conditions were all indispensable.

If not for the Undead striking him down, he wouldn’t have activated the Transformation Blood Array on the giant beast’s bones; likewise, if he appeared below the bones, he’d simply have remained dead.

Then Jiang Hou added, "And my move ’Consumes’ greatly; I can’t easily deploy it in normal times."

"I understand, forces exceeding one’s limits always come with a price." Divine Palace Feiyue nodded.

While speaking, the light on Divine Palace Feiyue began to dim, and some black fragments emerged around, remolded, and reconvened into black chains.

Instantly, Divine Palace Feiyue’s aura, comparable to Tier Five Peak, began to plummet.

Late-tier Five, Mid-tier, Initial-tier, and finally only a faint energy fluctuation remained on her body, her face turning pale, and her form softened suddenly.

"Watch out!"

Jiang Hou’s silhouette flashed, quickly catching the fallen Divine Palace Feiyue, suddenly confronted by a pair of giant eyes, even Jiang Hou instinctively held his breath.

He was a normal man, with all the natural feelings, only ’immune’ to Qin Siyu because they grew up together since childhood, too familiar.

And now, although the power within Divine Palace Feiyue had been re-sealed, her appearance hadn’t changed, the nearby face still absolutely beautiful, pure and holy.

Unexplainably stirring Jiang Hou’s impulse to desecrate.

However, Jiang Hou noticed, Divine Palace Feiyue’s face had some subtle white cracks, like a piece of porcelain developing fissures.

"Thank you, I’m fine." Divine Palace Feiyue weakly shook her head, laboriously standing upright again.

"Every time I re-seal the Angel’s Feather, it seals all the powers within me, appearing a power trough period, but it’ll return to normal by tomorrow."

Speaking thus, Divine Palace Feiyue turned her gaze far off, "Junior, let’s go check on Rou first."

"The strength of another Guardian Angel’s Feather covering her body, usually accumulating bit by bit, can instantly deplete the accumulation to seal itself when endangered."

"Once self-sealed, only the call of the same source’s power can penetrate the Tear Crystal to awaken her, otherwise no one can harm her."

"Of course, nothing is absolute."

"If the force surpassing the Angel’s Tear exceeds the acceptance limit, this trick will instead become self-binding, allowing oneself to be at the mercy of others."

"Moreover, unlike me, Rou’s soul is fused with the Angel’s Feather, unable to slowly enhance herself using the Power of Antiquities, her power isn’t much stronger than an average person."

Divine Palace Feirou was positioned on the other side of the Stone Tower space, while Divine Palace Feiyue was weakened to barely standing.

Finally, Jiang Hou had to embrace her shoulders and legs, carrying her across hills, soon arriving at Divine Palace Feirou, who was sealed.

Regarding the Yama Prison Demon Blade, Jiang Hou slanted it across his back, with two white bandages binding it up and down.

"Junior, set me down."

"Okay."

Jiang Hou let Divine Palace Feiyue down, seeing her long black hair almost dragging the ground, approaching the crystal, placing her hand gently on it, invisibly emanating a homogenous ripple.

Instantly, the interior of the crystal which not even Tier Five Peak Giant Demons could shake, produced a cracking sound, its surface showing fissures.

Crash! The white crystal shattered, emitting soft light retracted, finally reconvening into a pair of purple headphones hanging around Divine Palace Feirou’s neck.

Then the girl, asleep for several days, slowly opened her eyes, revealing bewilderment.

"Sister! And Jiang Tongxue."

Divine Palace Feiyue smiled, speaking softly, "It’s alright now, Rou, get up first."

Divine Palace Feiyue briefly explained what happened after she was captured; upon hearing Jiang Hou killed the Giant Shock to save her, Divine Palace Feirou immediately looked at Jiang Hou.

"Thank you, Jiang Tongxue."

Jiang Hou politely replied, "You’re welcome, Shengong Tongxue, you and Siyu are best friends, I promised her I’d help sister rescue you."

After polite exchanges, it was time to leave.

With the Giant Shock dead, this Stone Tower ’refined’ by him also became ownerless, and the originally closed entrance reopened.

Yet when the three arrived at the vortex below the cliff wall, witnessing the entrance above again covered by broken ice, they paused.

Divine Palace Feiyue was too weak to exert force, Divine Palace Feirou akin to ordinary people, couldn’t possibly leap to the more than ten-meter-high entrance, thus.

"Seems like we’ll trouble you again, junior." Divine Palace Feiyue preemptively spoke, avoiding Jiang Hou feeling embarrassed later.

After speaking, Divine Palace Feiyue hesitated, "Junior, regarding your matters..."

Jiang Hou smiled slightly, "No worries, no need for secrecy on this matter, and the club president always knew about the dual epoch inheritance, she gave me the Demon Blade fragments."

"That’s good."

Although the matter was settled, the corpse of the Giant Shock was in ruins. It was clear to anyone that it wasn’t killed by Divine Palace Feiyue’s power, so she was preparing to ask if they should get their stories straight.

"My apologies." Jiang Hou said as he wrapped his arms around the waists of the two women, ready to dash out.

Just as Jiang Hou held the two of them, he felt their bodies tremble, especially Divine Palace Feirou, who was naturally shy. A blush appeared on her face.

Boom!

The ice crystals on the river exploded. Holding the two women, Jiang Hou soared into the sky, gliding elegantly to the shore where Feng Qing had already arrived.

Gazing at Divine Palace Feiyue, who possessed a sacred and incomparably beautiful demeanor, Feng Qing wasn’t surprised.

It seemed like she had seen this side of Divine Palace Feiyue before. Instead, she was more concerned about the weak aura emanating from her. Jiang Hou also casually let go of the two women at this moment.

"Is the Giant Shock dealt with?" Feng Qing looked at Divine Palace Feiyue.

"Yes, it’s already slain inside, but it was ultimately the junior who killed it." Divine Palace Feiyue nodded and informed Feng Qing who took down the Giant Shock.

"Lieutenant Jiang!" Feng Qing was a bit surprised, not expecting that the mid-tier Four Jiang Hou could get involved in the battle and even slay the Giant Shock.

However, as she hadn’t witnessed the battle, she mistakenly thought the main force was still Divine Palace Feiyue. Nodding slightly, Feng Qing refocused her attention on Divine Palace Feiyue.

"How many layers of the seal did you release this time?"

"Three layers."

"You actually released three layers, burst out with Tier Five Peak strength, and together with Lieutenant Jiang, you managed to kill it. Indeed, that Giant Demon was hiding its power."

"But releasing the seal this time will cause more severe erosion. Do you need my help to suppress it?"

"Thank you, Sister Feng, but this time I don’t plan to suppress it."

Feng Qing paused, then pondered, "Are you planning to try the path she mentioned?"

Divine Palace Feiyue nodded, "Yes, if I continue to delay, one day I will still be unable to suppress the erosion, so it’s better to take Miss Akalin’s advice and gamble once."

Gamble on what? A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Hou’s face, not knowing what riddle the two were speaking in.

But his steady nature led him not to inquire further; it was someone else’s secret.

"... As long as you’ve thought it through." Feng Qing nodded, saying nothing more.

During their conversation, Divine Palace Feiyue’s skin began to darken visibly, and the holy aura around her grew fainter.

Eventually, even her facial features slightly dulled, her eyes reverting to black pupils, turning back to her previously delicate and ordinary appearance. Clearly, the seal within her was taking effect.

Feng Qing looked towards the Stone Tower beneath the ice layer, "Now that the Giant Shock is dead, how do you plan to deal with this Stone Tower imbued with Space Power?"

This was considered an extraordinary criminal case, so slaying the Giant Shock had task points as a reward, and the spoils belonged to the two of them.

"This time, it was only because of the junior’s help that we managed to slay the Giant Shock. Besides, Rourou and I are planning to leave tomorrow, and points are no longer of use to us."

"Thus, all rewards and items should go to the junior; he needs them more."

"... This—" Just as Jiang Hou wanted to say something, Divine Palace Feiyue smiled and shook her head at him.

Alright then, it was clear this was Divine Palace Feiyue’s way of rewarding him for his help. Seeing this, Jiang Hou nodded without refusing and directly asked, "Sister Feng, how much would this be worth in terms of points if converted?"

Feng Qing thought for a moment, "This Stone Tower appeared on Su Feng’s underground black market over a year ago and was auctioned off for one hundred million."

"One hundred million!" Jiang Hou was a bit shocked.

He was both surprised by the figure of one hundred million and had a strange feeling it seemed a bit cheap, considering this was an antique item with an internal space spanning several kilometers in diameter.

Moreover, one hundred million in black equated to only twenty thousand points.

"Don’t be too surprised. Normally, the internal space of an ancient tower isn’t large, only a few dozen meters, and it’s cumbersome to carry, so the price isn’t very high."

"The expansive range you saw inside is a result of the Stone Tower’s spatial energy spreading and merging with the local space, losing its uniqueness."

"Leaving this Stone Tower here isn’t of much use, and separating it anew would be costly, making it damaged, its value dropping two levels immediately. As for its exact worth, it has to be separated first..."

Subsequent to this exchange, the group discussed a few more details, after which Jiang Hou and the Divine Palace Feiyue sisters left together, leaving the cleanup to the professionals.

The task points for this mission would be calculated the next day.

......

"Jiang Hou, you’re back."

A little past nine in the evening, Jiang Hou had just opened the door when Qin Siyu excitedly ran over, then saw the Divine Palace Feiyue sisters standing behind him.

"Rourou, senior." The girl exclaimed in surprise.

"Yu." Divine Palace Feirou also broke into a smile.

As Qin Siyu happily held Divine Palace Feirou’s hand, Jiang Hou explained, "This time, to save Shengong Tongxue, the senior expended a lot and is in a very weak state."

"To prevent any accidents, like bad people secretly targeting them, I’ve invited them to stay with us for the night."

"Jiang Hou, you’re so thoughtful."

Qin Siyu had no further thoughts.
