Chapter 329: The Ninth Heavenly Realm, Roar of The Beast King, Killing a Level 9 Colossal Beast (II)

As a bloodline ability, activating primal powers required consuming bloodline strength, unlike the soul power used to stimulate innate runes.

Primal runes were different from innate ones; it would only be able to reveal the raw form of the hurricane’s power. It would be difficult to comprehend much, just a bit more specific than observing a natural hurricane.

This was why An Fuqing's talent for comprehension was so enviable. Typically, a cultivator had to break through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, condense the True Martial Phantom through communion with the world, and only then begin to understand and touch upon the traces of natural forces.

After breaking through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm, however, she could directly comprehend spatial sword will simply from observing spatial rifts, making her an extraordinary prodigy.

The Thunder Beast growled.

Roar! It’s nothing. I’m just taking a look. I’m not trying to comprehend your essence; I’m merely interested in wind attribute powers.

The Thunder Beast was aware of Saixitia’s concerns. It only wanted to see if this beast form had any significant comprehension talent.

Compared to the invisible roar of the hurricane and the shattered earth, the silver dragon’s Hurricane ability and the Dragon Turtle’s Earth ability were somewhat easier to comprehend.

Chen Chu sought to supplement the True Martial Phantom's attributes from them, to condense the powers of earth, fire, wind, and thunder, and open up four external world constructs from them.

In the early stages, these four basic spaces only stored their corresponding attribute powers, adding some attribute damage during combat. However, by the time he reached the Ninth Heavenly Realm, the situation would be different once the four attributes merged into a domain.

When he became a king, he could create miniature worlds within that domain in one step. At that time, mastering these four worlds would enhance his combat power to an extremely terrifying degree.

This was the concept of the War God Body in Chen Chu’s mind. His ambition was vast, and he was already preparing for his ascension to the throne.

The Thunder Beast growled.

Roar! Don’t worry, Saixitia. Once Big Horn wakes up, I’ll get some resources to replenish you.

Activating bloodline powers and stimulating primal abilities was draining, but as long as there were resources to restore that lost power, it wasn’t a major issue. Moreover, the Thunder Beast also needed to replenish its own vitality.

Roar! Really?

Saixitia’s eyes brightened. If there were good resources to cover the consumption, showing its primal abilities to the Thunder Beast wasn’t impossible, though it would need to eat more.

Roar! Alright, you can take a look.

As the Silver Dragon activated its bloodline power, a dragon’s roar resounded, and behind it, a projection of a green dragon formed from a hurricane appeared.

An hour later... The Thunder Beast’s eyes, which had been staring in concentration, showed regret.

After all this time of watching the hurricane, it had gained no comprehension. Indeed, neither its main body nor its beast form had any talent for comprehending abilities.

Sigh!

The Thunder Beast sighed and growled.

Roar! Saixitia, that’s enough.

Roar! I am exhausted.

The Silver Dragon panted, weakly retracting the primal ability projection with a mental effort.

Roar!

The Dragon Turtle, which had been asleep for several days, roared. Instantly, a yellow aura expanded from its center, forming a domain with a radius of two hundred meters. Within the space, the seawater was almost frozen under the yellow light, like an invisible mountain emitting a sense of solidity and weight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as the Earth Domain formed, a circle of terrifying shockwaves erupted, shattering everything within the domain, including the water, which boiled and violently exploded.

With the Earth and Shockwave Domains combining together, the Dragon Turtle’s destructive power became exceedingly formidable.

Standing in the midst of these destructive domains, the Dragon Turtle, now sixty-four meters long and over forty meters tall, resembled a moving mountain, exuding a devastating aura.

The dragon bloodline’s pressure on it grew even more powerful. Evidently, with the condensation of its abilities into runes, this breakthrough to level 8 had not only significantly boosted its strength, but also made its bloodline purer.

Though mutated beasts were classified into five levels based on their abilities, their potential wasn’t fixed.

The Thunder Beast could enhance its abilities to reach the emperor level. Similarly, other mutated creatures could experience a bloodline resurgence, suddenly awakening royal bloodlines to become lord-level beings.

Bloodlines were quite enigmatic. They could evolve through genetic mutations, external forces like natural treasures, or through hard work and growth.

Perhaps stimulated by the Dragon Turtle’s aura, the Single-horned Kun, several hundred meters away, suddenly opened its eyes and emitted a high-pitched cry like a steam whistle.

Wuuuu!

Boom!

Black and white light exploded from the Kun, covering a two-hundred-meter radius. Instantly, the area was split into half white and half black.

Bathed in the ancient and desolate aura between black and white, the Kun was like a primordial creature emerging from the ancient wilderness. Its enormous fins flapped slightly, causing the white light and black shadow to shift around it, and its form flickered in and out of view.

When the domain turned white, the aura surged tenfold. When it turned black, the Kun vanished, creating a very mysterious scene that surprised even the Thunder Beast.

Compared to the Dragon Turtle’s combination of its Earth and Shockwave abilities, the Kun’s black and white powers appeared even more mysterious. Under such domineering forces, the Kun’s Devouring Vortex ability couldn’t even form a domain.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Thunder Fiery, I seem to have become very powerful!

The over sixty-meter-long Kun was excited, its fins stirring up towering waves with each strike.

Roar! I’m powerful too. This time, I’ll see who dares to get close to me.

The Dragon Turtle was also thrilled with its domain. It felt like entering a new world after breaking through to level 8, suddenly becoming incredibly powerful.

The Nine-headed Serpent, coiled like a small mountain, was also stirred. Its fierce dragon heads swayed, letting out a chaotic roar.

Roar! Roar! Roar! You all have become so strong.

Although the Serpent had become very strong immediately after reaching level 8, the Kun and Dragon Turtle’s auras now seemed a notch stronger.

The Thunder Beast growled in satisfaction.

Roar! Not bad. It seems you’ve all gained a lot this time.

Compared to the Thunder Beast, which had slept for more than ten days, the Kun and Dragon Turtle had a much shorter sleep time, related to the difference in their ability levels and quantities.

Roar, it’s good that you’re awake. Next, I want to briefly discuss a few things.

The Thunder Beast stood up.

Roar! Our Dragon Palace currently has a vast territory and nine members, with several resource points under our control.

Roar! Next, we need to discuss resource allocation, territory expansion, and capturing more colossal beasts of level 7 or above, as well as recruiting promising middle-level transcendent creatures into our ranks.

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Roar! Oh, I almost forgot. Saixitia, as the ruler of Dragon Palace, do you have anything to say about these plans?

The Thunder Beast suddenly remembered that the Silver Dragon was supposed to be the "Great Dragon King" and looked toward it.

The Silver Dragon was somewhat puzzled, as it had never considered such matters and lacked experience in this area. However, as the great king of the Dragon Palace, it couldn’t show any weakness. The Silver Dragon maintained a serious expression and growled.

Roar! Batian, I think what you said is very good. Please continue.

Roar! Alright.

The Thunder Beast didn’t call it out, but instead turned to the Nine-headed serpent and the four approaching orcas.

Roar! Now, the Dragon Palace has five beings at the Dragon King level, which means level 8 transcendent creatures. We can even handle ordinary level 9 colossal beasts.

Roar! Next, I plan to allocate most of the Growth Crystals and Life Crystal shards to Horn Hime, Hu Yi, Hu Er, and Hu San...

Horn Hime was the name the Thunder Beast had given to the Female Orca, and Hu Yi, Hu Er, and Hu San were her and the Kun’s three sons.

With a roar, the Thunder Beast began assigning new tasks.

The five level 8 colossal beasts would work together to expand the territory, while the Female Orca would lead the three little orcas to patrol the territory, collecting from and guarding the resource points.

During these patrols, they would also be tasked with hunting level 7 and weaker mutated creatures to gather Life Crystals.

Additionally, if they encountered highly intelligent transcendent creatures that could communicate, they should try to subdue them to form a team of intelligent forces.

This was the Thunder Beast’s plan for the Dragon Palace’s upcoming tasks, straightforward and focused mainly on collecting Life Crystals. The less impactful resources would be allocated to the four orcas.

Roar! That’s all I have to say. Does anyone have any additional opinions?

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! No, Thunder Fiery, what you said is excellent.

The first to voice support was the Kun.

Roar! Thunder Fiery, you’re the smartest. What you said goes.

The Dragon Turtle, as well as the Silver Dragon and the Nine-headed Serpent, all agreed.

Even though it had spoken about forming a colossal beast empire, the Silver Dragon had only envisioned an empire like a dragon claiming a mountain as its own. It knew nothing about territory management.

Seeing that no one had objections, the Thunder Beast nodded in satisfaction.

Roar! To celebrate everyone’s breakthroughs, let’s go kill a level 9 colossal beast for some excitement.

Immediately, the Silver Dragon and the others were all taken aback.

What kind of celebration is this?

Roar! Alright, what I meant was that Big Horn discovered a high-quality resource point guarded by a level 9 colossal beast. Now, we can go take it down.

Once it heard that they were going to seize resources, the Dragon Turtle was the first to issue an excited cry.

Roar! Kill, destroy, devour, charge!
