Chapter 420: Civilization's Successor, Three Hundred Times the Strength (II)

Roar!

The Thunder Emperor let out a savage roar as an even more powerful force exploded from within, causing its body to rapidly grow to over 180 meters.

Whoosh!

The enormous size brought an incredible increase in power, shaking the micro-world even more violently, with the sea roaring and lava churning.

In the distance, the Kun, Serpent, and Dragon Turtle widened their eyes in shock.

Roar! How did Thunder Fiery suddenly grow so much bigger?

Roar! Still not enough.

Along with the earth-shaking roar, the synchronized voices of the Thunder Emperor and Chen Chu echoed in their minds.

Continue consuming attribute points to enhance the Gigantification ability.

In an instant, the attribute points dropped from 2,220 to 1,320, and an even more intense enhancement energy surged within the Thunder Emperor.

Under the influence of this powerful enhancement energy, the runes that originally covered its entire body began to change, growing additional branches as if they were evolving.

Boom!

As the Gigantification ability was enhanced to the middle level, an even more violent power exploded forth. Red lightning flickered across the Thunder Emperor’s body as it grew even larger.

To the utter shock of the three colossal beasts, the massive black-and-red beast, now over 230 meters long, unleashed an incredibly powerful force.

Boom! Boom!

Under the crushing aura, the ground within hundreds of meters of the Thunder Emperor collapsed, and the surrounding space twisted and fractured, creating black rifts.

The air within a kilometer was compressed and exploded under the pressure, forming rings of solid white airwaves that roared like hurricanes and raised waves dozens of meters high in the sea.

Roar!

Standing on its hind legs, the black-and-red beast, now over 130 meters tall, towered in the darkness. Red lightning crackling around it, and an oppressive aura surrounded it, like a world-destroying ancient beast summoned from a distant past.

Merely standing there, the invisible destructive waves it emitted annihilated everything within a kilometer, and the ice crystal palace within several kilometers began to collapse.

The Silver Colossal Dragon, still in its slumber, was buried under the cascading ice before it could even react, and the Serpent and Dragon Turtle suffered the same fate.

With ice crashing down on their heads, the colossal beasts widened their eyes in shock as they gazed at the terrifying beast standing in the distance.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba, getting more and more impressive.

Feeling the world-ending might of the Thunder Emperor, the Serpent's nine heads swayed in excitement as it rolled around madly in the icy ruins.

As expected of its idol, the Thunder Emperor's power was increasing at a terrifying rate. As for the destroyed ice crystal palace, it was a minor issue—it could be rebuilt with some effort.

Squeak! Thunder Fiery’s aura is so strong, it’s gotten even stronger.

The Kun and Dragon Turtle almost seemed to exude physical envy from their eyes.

They had worked themselves to exhaustion for so long to condense runes and increase their strength. By now, however, only the Silver Dragon and the Kun possessed greater combat power.

Thunder Fiery’s power, on the other hand, surged every few days, surpassing even the super gold lala that the Silver Dragon claimed could cause growth just by eating it.

As the Thunder Emperor wantonly unleashed its power, Chen Chu's gaze fell on the attribute page.

Ability: Gigantification [Middle-level, special ability. Consumes cellular biological energy to enter gigantification mode, increasing body size by 0.5 times, and tripling basic strength and defense while slightly reducing agility.

Note: When this ability is enhanced to its limit, it will possess ultimate destructive power.]

"Basic strength and defense both tripled." A smile appeared on Chen Chu’s face.

Threefold sounded weak at first, but it was important to realize that the strongest aspect of colossal beasts was their physical body; all abilities were based on the formidable body of a colossal beast.

With the Thunder Emperor's current strength, what did it mean to triple its basic strength and defense in Gigantification mode? It meant turning top-level ability power from a hundredfold to three hundredfold.

A three-hundredfold explosion of power—if that Sword Dragon Colossal Beast were to appear again, the Thunder Emperor would be able to suppress and even severely injure it with absolute strength.

There would be no need to unleash the Golden Flames and Thunderbolt fusion power, which rivaled the laws of nature.

If the opponent fought to the death without retreating, the Thunder Emperor could even kill that quasi-mythical colossal beast without sustaining any injuries. Its defense was simply too strong; it could just tear the opponent apart with brute force.

As Chen Chu grew excited, a new line of transparent text appeared before his eyes.

[Notice: The current number of abilities in the colossal beast has reached the biological gene’s limit. New abilities can not be fused without evolving to break genetic shackles.]

...The limit of biological genes. What a pity.

A look of regret flashed in Chen Chu’s eyes.

The successful condensation of the Gigantification ability had made Chen Chu think about hunting those colossal beasts with special abilities, to extract and fuse them.

If he could acquire a few more of these abilities, their mutual amplification would make the Thunder Emperor virtually unstoppable.

Now, however, it seemed he had been overly optimistic.

In the World of Water and Fire, the red lightning on the Thunder Emperor gradually faded, and the glowing red runes on its body dimmed as its enormous form began to shrink.

After a few minutes in this form, the energy contained within its cells had been depleted by about one percent, meaning that the Thunder Emperor could maintain this form and continue fighting for several hours.

Not bad. Not only was its power strong, but it wasn’t just a colossal beast that could last only three minutes.

As the three colossal beasts around it remained in shock, the Thunder Emperor let out a low growl.

Roar! With the help of those Life Crystals, I’ve comprehended the Gigantification ability from the spine of that Six-Armed Demonic Ape.

Roar! I just tested the power of that rune—it’s quite impressive and has greatly enhanced my strength.

Squeak! Thunder Fiery, I want to learn it too! I want to grow huge, super huge.

The Kun grew excited.

The Dragon Turtle also roared with excitement as it shook off the ice crystals from its body.

Roar! I want to become stronger too. Thunder Fiery, I want to learn it as well.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Ghido... rah, too—learn and grow stronger!

The Serpent’s nine heads tangled together, roaring chaotically.

The three colossal beasts were all deeply envious of this new ability, which allowed the Thunder Emperor to double its overall size.

Roar! This ability is different from basic runes; you can’t learn it just yet. Your fine control is too poor to condense a complete rune in one go. But don’t lose heart. Practice condensing basic runes more, and work on your fine control.

Roar! When any of you manage to condense five hundred basic runes, I’ll teach that one the Gigantification ability. Now, keep training hard while I go find something to eat. So hungry.

Boom!

The seawater exploded as the Thunder Emperor’s massive form vanished from the surface, quickly diving out of the World of Water and Fire and preparing to devour several level 8 colossal beasts.

This time, it was determined to grow to the middle stage of level 9 in one go.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Keep pushing, nine heads, go for it.

Squeak! I want to get stronger, keep pushing forward.

Roar! Cultivate, cultivate! Once I condense five hundred runes and master the Gigantification ability, I, Baxia, will take on thirty opponents!

Motivated by the promise of power from the Thunder Emperor, the three colossal beasts were filled with renewed determination and passion for cultivation, preparing to push themselves even harder.

What they didn’t realize was that, even if they managed to learn the Gigantification rune, it would still be an ordinary ability, far from matching the strength of the Thunder Emperor, which had already enhanced it to the middle level.

Not to mention that once Chen Chu had enough crystals, he planned to further enhance the Gigantification ability to the top level.

"

Phew!

Time flies so fast." Chen Chu sighed as he noticed the sky had grown dark without him realizing it. Sitting cross-legged on the hillside, he was too lazy to move.

This time, the Thunder Emperor's acquisition of the Gigantification ability had cost a total of 4,100 attribute points.

After comprehending the Gigantification rune three times in a row, adjusting its structure, and condensing the sequence chains, he had spent 200 points to enhance it to a low-level ability and then 900 more to bring it to the middle level.

Compared to the Golden Flames and Thunderbolt abilities, the enhancement demands for the special Gigantification ability were about three times higher.

However, the rune was very powerful, and Chen Chu planned to enhance this ability to the top level later and see if he could integrate it into his War God Body.

When that time came, with his breakthrough to the king level, he would have both the true form of the laws externally and the immense power of Gigantification internally, making him far stronger than other kings of the same level.

In the distance, under the darkening sky, a green figure suddenly appeared, speeding toward the hillside where Chen Chu sat. Noticing him, the figure quickly changed direction.

Whoosh!

A young girl clad in green armor appeared before Chen Chu in just a few breaths amid howling winds.

"Hello, An Fuqing."
