I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 38: Demon Soul

5:30 PM

Jiang Hou had just returned home and noticed that Siyu was in a bad mood.

His gaze immediately turned cold, though he didn’t show it. He asked gently, "What’s wrong, Siyu? Is someone bullying you at school?"

"...No, it’s just that someone said something unpleasant under yesterday’s video, which made Rourou cry," Qin Siyu explained, shaking her head.

Jiang Hou breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t someone bullying Qin Siyu, so that was good. He replied indifferently, "Such things are common. If you don’t encounter them today, you will eventually in the future."

"The internet, while making communication convenient for everyone, has also become a vent for many people’s negative emotions."

"These trolls don’t care about your merits or the intent behind your videos. They simply spew negativity for the sake of it, their minds filled with darkness."

"In such cases, you can either report and block them or just ignore them, or simply delete your video account and stop uploading videos."

Qin Siyu was a bit depressed. "Rourou indeed doesn’t want to film anymore."

"And what about you?"

"I respect Rourou’s opinion. Filming or not filming doesn’t really matter to me," Qin Siyu paused, "but I can sense that Rourou somewhat enjoys being in front of the camera."

"I see."

Jiang Hou casually suggested, "Then you can continue filming and uploading videos, but set the content to be visible only to friends, to avoid the trolls."

"Right, why didn’t I think of that?" Qin Siyu’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face.

With Qin Siyu in a better mood, Jiang Hou also felt happier, smiling, "It’s because you were too focused on the negative comments to realize."

"All right, you make dinner, and I’ll go collect the clothes."

"Okay," the girl nodded.

......

In the depths of the fissure filled with black mist, long hair swirling, appeared a figure with their upper body wrapped in bandages, holding the Demon Blade.

However, compared to the oppressive presence of the Black Armored Giant Ape, Jiang Hou, in his human form with Tier Two Peak strength, was still lacking by a significant margin.

Roar!

A violent roar echoed as Jiang Hou’s body rapidly expanded. The bandages and tattered armor that represented the power of the Divine Weapon transformed into black and white light and faded away.

As the 16-meter tall Black-armored Giant Beast appeared, a palpable sense of power emanated from it, pushing the surrounding black mist away to create a vacuum area over ten meters wide.

The Black Armored Giant Ape paused slightly, its massive form continuing along the mountain wall, exploring forward.

This black mist could obscure vision, absorb sound vibrations, and even energy fluctuations, therefore beasts or monsters could only be discovered upon close proximity.

Similarly, others couldn’t see the Black Armored Giant Ape in advance; everything was unknown.

Even though the Black Armored Giant Ape had reached Tier Four, every time it entered this environment, it felt a chill run down its spine—every step taken with extreme caution.

Bang! Rock on the mountainside shattered, as a black crystal the size of a washbasin was extracted by the giant ape and popped into its mouth like a candy.

Crunch crunch!! The sound of crunching brittle bones echoed, as the crystal shattered under the giant ape’s powerful jaw, finally mixed with saliva and swallowed down.

Feeling its internal strength increase significantly, the Black Armored Giant Ape’s expression turned peculiar, suddenly feeling like an underground miner.

Underground, mining!!

The giant ape shook its head, dispelling the strange thought and continued moving forward.

As it progressed, the Black Armored Giant Ape would find black crystals at the base of the mountain walls, and a little deeper, some black ore would be uncovered.

The low-energy-conversion ore didn’t interest the giant ape, which only consumed the crystals.

Besides the crystals, as it advanced, the Black Armored Giant Ape noticed more and more traces of ruined buildings, until a grandiose ruin appeared before it.

The ruin resembled an altar, constructed from massive cyan stones, with a diameter exceeding several kilometers. Around it stood eight pillars, each several meters thick and hundreds of meters tall, piercing into the black mist.

The pillars and altar were engraved with bold patterns, still clear after countless ages.

Moreover, an invisible force surrounded the altar, repelling the black mist. Layers of swirling mist walls a hundred meters from the altar presented a spectacular scene.

Bang! A heavy step landed on the cyan stone slabs with a dull sound, as the cautious Black Armored Giant Ape stepped onto the altar, surveying its surroundings.

At the moment the Black-armored Giant Beast stepped onto the altar, dark red light flickered on a distant pillar, followed by a thirty-meter-wide shadow suddenly shooting out.

Screech! An ear-piercing shriek exploded near the giant ape’s ears, causing its consciousness to immediately plunge.

Not good, it’s a spiritual attack.

Roar!

The giant ape let out a violent roar, its eyes instantly turning red, its brain filled with boundless rage, scattering the spirit attack of the shadow with its violent fury.

At the same time, its muscles swelled, the now more muscular giant ape clenched its fists, punching at the huge shadow before it.

Boom! Under the tyrannical power, the air exploded, creating a white shockwave sweeping over a ten-meter range, but it didn’t harm the shadow in the slightest.

The shadow, resembling a bat with thirty-meter wingspan yet entirely covered in dark red scales, passed through the giant ape’s fist, vanished into a distant pillar.

Hmm? A look of surprise appeared in the anger-filled eyes of the Black Armored Giant Ape, unsure of what had happened.

Yet it soon realized when the shadow had passed through its body, it seemed to have taken something from it.

Vital energy? Or blood energy? The Black Armored Giant Ape was astonished, as it was the first time it had encountered this kind of intangible ’enemy’.

Screech!

The shrill shriek that shook its spiritual consciousness erupted again, with the dark red bat flying out from the pillar, turning into a red glow charging toward the giant ape.

This time, the Black Armored Giant Ape neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the bat shadow to pass through its body.

Then, it sharply sensed a slight decrease in the abundant vitality within, roughly a fraction of its total vitality—this was also why it hadn’t bothered to evade.

Subsequently, the dark red bat wove between the pillars, each pass through the Black Armored Giant Ape taking away part of its vitality.

"How do you fight this kind of enemy?"

Watching the bat shadow fly through its body again and again, the fury in the Black Armored Giant Ape’s eyes slowly sharpened.

The giant ape lowered its stance, one leg forward and the other back in a semi-horse stance, fists clenched, with the faint golden power in its blood gathering.

Roar!

As the dark red bat shadow approached from the front once more, the Black Armored Giant Ape roared, its golden light-covered fists launching like cannons, fully unloading its strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom!! Air exploded, creating gusts of white airflow sweeping a range of dozens of meters.

This time, the golden-covered fists pounded the bat shadow, seeming tangible, with the destructive energy within causing the shadow massive tremors, incessantly dissipating.

In the blink of an eye, the Black Armored Giant Ape threw out over ten punches with all its might, depleting its World Dominating Power entirely.

The intangible dark red bat shadow also shattered, turning into strands of dark red light floating in the air, emitting an aura that stirred the giant ape’s blood. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Can these dark red lights be eaten!?

Roar!

The Black Armored Giant Ape hesitated slightly, emitted a low roar, its large mouth opened wide, unleashing a powerful suction pulling all the floating light strands into its mouth.

Boom!

The dense soul energy exploded within the Black Armored Giant Ape, spreading throughout its body, boiling the blood along its path, burning, beginning a transformation.

At the same time, deep red patterns emerged clearly over the black armor on its chest, eventually forming a bizarre design.

Resembling a demonic face, hideous and terrifying.
