Chapter 163: Devouring and Crushing, Increasing the Upper Limit (I)

As the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast looked down in surprise, the Dragon Turtle's expression turned serious, growling softly.

Roar!! There's something strong down there.

They were currently at the foot of the mountain, in a pitch-black area, several kilometers away from the valley below.

The Thunder Beast roared softly.

Roar! I saw the guy you're talking about, but that's not important. What's important is the good stuff you mentioned earlier?

At the end of the coral valley below, a colossal beast measuring fifty-seven meters in length quietly there, emitting a terrifying aura.

This beast resembled a blue whale, but its front body was more rounded and massive, with teeth scattered in its slightly open mouth that swallowed vast amounts of seawater like a black hole. Thick and sharp gray spikes also covered its entire body. It silently laid there at a height of over twenty meters, resembling a small mountain.

Such a large mutated creature naturally possessed formidable strength. Even from several kilometers away, one could still sense the invisible energy fluctuations emanating from its body, causing even the Thunder Beast to take it seriously.

Obviously, this colossal whale, expected to be at least at the late stage of level 7, was very powerful. In addition, by constantly emitting its aura, it was warning other mutated creatures in the vicinity not to provoke it.

The Dragon Turtle growled softly.

Roar! Those fish, good things, eaten, powerful.

So that's it.

The Thunder Beast's gaze fell on the silver fish swimming among the corals, feeding on the microorganisms.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

So those things are the resources.

The huge gray whale suddenly opened its mouth slightly, and a massive suction force instantly spread out, swallowing several slightly larger silver fish swimming in front of it. With the sheer difference in size, it was almost as if it was just drinking water that happened to have fish in it.

Immediately, the rest of the silver fish swimming around scattered, darting into the distant corals.

The Thunder Beast growled softly.

Roar! What is this guy's ability?

Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Although considering itself powerful in battle, when facing a colossal beast in the late stage of level 7, which was over twice its length and several times its bulk, the Thunder Beast became extremely cautious.

Roar! Don't know, I just passed by and saw it, then left.

The Dragon Turtle’s response left the Thunder Beast momentarily at a loss for words.

Pass by my foot! Clearly, you found something good but got scared off by that whale. You didn't even dare to engage or probe, despite being a draconic colossal beast yourself.

As mutated beings bearing the characteristics of awakened dragons, they both possessed formidable strength. Even in the beginning stage of level 7, they weren't incapable of confronting those in the late stage of the same level.

Roar! Then charge down there with your defensive abilities and see what it's capable of.

The Thunder Beast roared softly.

The Dragon Turtle recoiled its neck.

Roar!! I-I'm afraid!

Roar! Afraid of what? Just charge ahead! Your defense is strong, and I'll lend a hand too. If we win those little fish, I'll share some with you.

Roar! Really?

The Dragon Turtle's head popped out, eyes showing surprise. It hadn't expected the Thunder Beast to be willing to share.

Roar! I, Thunder Fiery, always keep my word in this sea. I've cooperated with many (just one) mutated beings. How else could I have grown so quickly?

Whether it was the incentive of those silver fish or believing in the Thunder Beast's words, the Dragon Turtle took a deep breath, instantly releasing a heavy and majestic aura.

Boom!

Accompanied by a burst of yellow energy erupting and covering its entire body, the Dragon Turtle's aura instantly connected with the ground beneath, and it started to move down with heavy steps that made the seabed tremble, as if it carried a massive mountain on its back.

In the depths of the valley below, the massive gray whale suddenly raised its head, and a substantial aura erupting from its body, stirring up circles of white water waves. Simultaneously, the whale opened its mouth, emitting a resounding roar.

Roar!

Substantial sound waves churned the sea, surging out a hundred meters away with terrifying momentum.

Bang!

A swing of the whale’s tail made the seabed shake, and its body stirred up violent currents as it approached the Dragon Turtle at the foot of the mountain.

As a mutated beast of dragon lineage, the Dragon Turtle still had a bit of boldness in it.

The oncoming whale had its huge mouth open wide, almost capable of swallowing it whole, yet the Dragon Turtle showed no weakness, emitting a roar before retracting its head.

Boom!

The cavernous mouth, almost as large as the whale's head, fiercely bit into the Dragon Turtle's body, nearly swallowing half of it in one go. A powerful explosion unleashed in that instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The seabed within a hundred meters shook violently. The ground beneath the Dragon Turtle cracked open with huge rifts, and countless stones were flung upward, flying through the water.

The thick yellow light on the Dragon Turtle's body trembled furiously, yet it was not pierced by the whale's bite. Connected with the earth, its aura seemed rooted and unshakeable.

Just then, the whale exerted more force, its sharp fangs gradually penetrating the yellow energy.

Some of the longest ones even landed on the Dragon Turtle's thick carapace, emitting a grating sound.

However, it couldn't go further. The Dragon Turtle’s defense was too great.

As it watched from the darkness with a restrained aura, the Thunder Beast thought the whale would loosen its grip and unleash a stronger attack using its innate abilities, when gray light suddenly emanated from the whale’s body.

Squelch! Squelch!

In the blink of an eye, the spikes on the whale's body swelled, growing over ten meters long, and then shot out like spearheads, resembling a porcupine with its quills erect.

This explosion was omnidirectional, and the Dragon Turtle, still in the grip of the huge mouth, was bombarded by these metal spikes. Under the terrifying force, its body kept trembling.

With a final bang, the Dragon Turtle was blasted into the ground by dozens of new metal spikes growing from the whale's head and chin, leaving only a bit of its shell exposed.

Roar!

After blasting the attacking mutated creature underground, the gray whale let out a ferocious roar, creating huge waves through the water with sound alone. Its mouth suddenly emitted a terrifying devouring suction force, swallowing everything, with a power equal to that of the Single-horned Orca's devouring vortex.

The ground within a hundred meters around the Dragon Turtle shattered further, countless stones rumbling as they rushed into the whale's mouth along with the water. Within its abyssal maw, the teeth suddenly grew larger, transforming into a sharp grinder that pulverized everything sucked into it.

Yet as it continued its devouring, the Dragon Turtle remained unmoving, its yellow aura flowing around its body. Its limbs were tucked beneath its shell, even slowly merging with the earth.

Well, this fellow just got scared at first sight and got beaten up.

In the darkness, the Thunder Beast’s robust limb muscles slowly bulged, faint blue electric arcs dancing across them.

Boom!

With an explosive burst of scorching aura, flames erupted from the Thunder Beast's body. The seabed within dozens of meters around it collapsed with a resounding explosion as it launched itself forward.

Swift as lightning, the Thunder Beast’s figure was a dazzling blaze as it soared hundreds of meters, crashing into the colossal beast resembling a sea urchin.

Boom!

The scorching red shockwave surged hundreds of meters away, making the water roil violently.

Under this terrifying blow, the gray whale emitted a furious roar as its massive body was directly blasted away by the Thunder Beast. Over a dozen metal spikes on its side were shattered, and half of its body collapsed, its thick gray scales cracking to reveal the flesh beneath... but no blood came out.
