I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 72: Celestial Fire
In the scorching cave, Jiang Hou looked at the white fox beast that had transformed into a giant, and directly asked, "Feitong, how did the mark on your head come about?"
Roar!?
Even though it looked like a fox, Feitong let out a low roar resembling a lion, completely devoid of the cuteness it had in its kitty form.
"Can’t understand? Let me put it another way, were you born with the ability to enlarge and move between worlds?" Jiang Hou asked again.
The white giant fox thought for a moment, then turned its backside to Jiang Hou, its severed tail twitching, before turning back to paw at the ground.
...? This left Jiang Hou somewhat perplexed.
"Forget it, although you seem somewhat intelligent, it seems you can’t understand complex language." Jiang Hou shook his head, and the black and white light on his body shone once more.
Boom!
Jiang Hou’s figure expanded rapidly, and the immense repulsion formed instantly exploded the air, creating a deep rumble, and the wild air currents blew the fur of the white fox beast into a frenzy.
In the blink of an eye, a Black Armored Giant Ape over twenty-four meters tall appeared, its massive body casting a large shadow over the giant fox, radiating a strong sense of oppression.
Roar!!
Looking at the colossal giant ape and the powerful might emitted from its body belonging to Tier Five creatures, the white fox’s long red eyes showed excitement and thrill.
Without counting the tail, its body over ten meters long circled around the Black Armored Giant Ape like a little dog.
"Let’s go, follow me." That’s what the Black Armored Giant Ape intended to communicate, but it came out as a deep, rough growl.
In its beast form, it could only produce low growls or roars, unable to speak like humans, at least for now.
Inside, magma rivers flowed, black smoke billowed, and the air temperature exceeded two hundred degrees Celsius. A few kilometers in, the Black Armored Giant Ape turned back.
It saw the white fox beast cheerfully following behind, its fur fluttering without wind, an invisible force on its surface isolating the high temperature.
The ability of a demon? The Black Armored Giant Ape, who had originally worried about it enduring the high heat, pondered.
With the white fox beast, the Black Armored Giant Ape journeyed deeper along the main tunnel of the volcanic cave for over ten kilometers, but found no trace of red ants or fire fish beasts.
Looking at the magma tributary branching off ahead and the tunnel that was much narrower compared to the main passage, the Black Armored Giant Ape pondered slightly and changed direction.
In recent days, it had ’eaten’ almost all the fire fish in that river and needed to search a new direction.
Following the tributary, the Black Armored Giant Ape found the cave widening, quickly reaching a massive mountain interior, where a magma lake with a diameter of over ten kilometers appeared ahead.
In the magma lake, flames roiled, and occasionally, fire fish over ten meters long, and even over a dozen meters long, exuding a Tier Four aura, leapt out of the ’water,’ splashing fire in all directions.
Aside from those fire fish, at the center of the boiling lake, a pillar of fire shot to the sky, resembling a giant flaming lotus.
In the center of the dark red flaming lotus, several hundred meters in diameter, a cluster of golden, refining-liquid-like flames burned quietly, emitting terrifying high heat.
The huge dark red flaming lotus outside was merely the phenomenon of the golden liquid flame’s power radiating out.
Celestial Fire!
Upon seeing the golden flames, the Black Armored Giant Ape immediately recognized what it was.
After Tier Four, Jiang Hou unlocked more permissions, including descriptions of resources from various eras, among which was the Celestial Fire from the Celestial Fire Era.
The fire’s heat was intense; around it, a small world formed of flames appeared, its power wild and destructive.
Resources from the Celestial Fire Era were in high demand in the Extraordinary Realm; anything that appeared on the underground black market would quickly be bought. The same applied to the Heavenly Retribution exchange stock.
The reason lay in the unique nature of the Celestial Fire Era’s inheritance.
The power of the Celestial Fire was too wild; even the mighty of that era couldn’t directly refine it and integrate it into their bodies; they needed to craft an ancient object known as a treasure to contain it.
By harnessing the Celestial Fire through a treasure, continuous cultivation led to the state of man and fire becoming one.
Thus, if a Transcendent possessed an ancient object from the Celestial Fire Era and merged it with Celestial Fire, the originally broken and non-mystical object would instantly become a powerful treasure.
Though it couldn’t integrate with their power system, it could still greatly enhance their strength.
But the Black Armored Giant Ape was different from those Transcendents; it could absorb the energy from resources of other eras, and when it evolved and awakened the Molten Flame Talent next time, along with the Celestial Fire Power, it would be capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea.
This is the ’charm’ of the ruins; the remaining celestial and divine resources from various ancient eras are countless.
As long as one is strong and fearless of death, they might find an Ancient Divine Weapon falling into a crevice, or encounter a fallen Divine Demon inheritance.
Yet the Black Armored Giant Ape quickly calmed down, for the power emitted by that Celestial Fire was too strong, utterly untouchable for its current Tier Five state.
It felt as if even Tier Six wasn’t enough.
Roar! The Black Armored Giant Ape roared lowly, turning its gaze to the lava fire fish occasionally leaping in the lake.
It eyed the beasts whose aura reached Tier Four, bodies exceeding fifteen meters, covered in red scale armor, and flame-tipped beard fluttering like Dragon Fish.
Tier Four Lava Fire Fish, eating one could at least refine two units of Molten Flame Element, and the Black Armored Giant Ape almost drooled at the thought.
Boom! A boulder weighing tens of tons smashed into the lake a hundred meters away, splashing fire everywhere, creating a depression, and then slowly sinking down.
Very deep! The Black Armored Giant Ape remained silent.
Its fire resistance was now high enough to enter the magma temporarily without harm, but that didn’t mean it could stay for long, let alone swim in it.
Roar!!
Just as the Black Armored Giant Ape pondered how to catch ’fish,’ the white fur of the white fox beast exuded, letting out a short, low growl, extending its right paw and pointing at the lake.
"Roar! What’s up?" The Black Armored Giant Ape lowered its head.
Unfortunately, a giant beast and a Demon Fox couldn’t speak, and communication had to rely on guesses.
After gesturing a bit and still failing to communicate, the white fox beast crouched down with four paws, and the two tails, one long and one short, swung back, sending out a layer of red ripples.
Ripples emitted a faint void aura, slightly distorting the space they passed through.
Swipe! The white fox beast vanished, appeared above the magma lake hundreds of meters away, extended its claws, and snatched a fire fish just leaping out of the lake, like lightning.
The moment it caught the fire fish, the fox beast vanished along with it, reappearing at the spot it was before.
Bang!
At the moment of landing, the nearly ten-meter-long fire fish folded its body, slapped its tail, whipped up a fierce wind, and struck the white fox beast, sending it flying with its powerful force.
Boom! Just as the fire fish sent the white fox beast flying and was about to do a kip-up to swim back to the lake, a huge fist fell from the sky and smashed its head.
The mighty force further shook the earth around, shattering the black volcanic rock into giant cracks spreading like a web in all directions.
Bubble bubble!!
Blood gushed from the fire fish’s corpse, instantly dyeing the surroundings red, and came into contact with the scalding ground, sizzling blood mist rising, emitting a roasted fish aroma.
Roar roar roar!! The white fox beast, having fallen into the distance, rolled twice, letting out a miserable cry.
"Uh... no, you’re the same Tier Three, yet you couldn’t even catch a single slap from a fish’s tail." Looking at the white fox beast’s pitiful state, the Black Armored Giant Ape was momentarily at a loss for words.
However, this guy’s ability was quite strong, capable of briefly traversing the void.
"Roar! How about it, can you catch another one?" The Black Armored Giant Ape growled lowly, pointing to the Tier Four fire fish jumping on the distant lake surface.
Roar! The white fox beast quickly shook its head, lying on the ground, indicating it needed to rest.
Able to use the ability only once for a short time? Regret flashed in the Black Armored Giant Ape’s eyes.
