Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

When the Silver Colossal Dragon blurted out that the Time Dragon went to peep at the aunt next door and got chased off by the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, an awkward silence instantly fell among the surrounding colossal beasts.

Even the Destructive Dragon Emperor was dumbfounded, not to mention the Single-Horned Kunpeng beside it, which had been somewhat respectful toward the Time Dragon under the oppressive aura of the peak titans—it now looked utterly stunned.Even mythical colossal dragons are this messed up?

At that thought, the Single-Horned Kunpeng instinctively glanced at the Silver Dragon and the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, then at the fierce and imposing black-and-red beast. Its gaze flickered with realization; it seemed to have noticed a blind spot.

What peeping? I was merely passing through Kaotina's territory on my way to search for resources in the Chaotic Region!The Time Dragon let out a low growl in defense against the Silver Dragon's accusation. Yet, from its tone, the Dragon Emperor could clearly sense a guilty undertone.

More importantly, ever since the Time Dragon had returned, the Golden-Blue Dragon had folded its wings and stood elegantly to the side, quietly observing. It showed neither the enthusiasm of someone seeing the "uncle next door" for the first time, nor any curiosity about the legendary dragon that had once been driven off.

Peeking its head from behind the Dragon Emperor, the Silver Dragon roared.The great Saixitia is no fool—obviously, whatever Mother says is more trustworthy!

After all, having been raised by the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, Saixitia's loyalties were firmly aligned.

This little interlude made it clear to the Dragon Emperor that now wasn't the right time to invite the Time Dragon to join the Dragon Palace Empire, so it cut in with a low growl.Your Majesty Kurapavida, as per my agreement with my contractor, I have now summoned you back from the past. We're about to delve deeper into the Chaotic Region to gather resources and increase our strength. What are your plans?

With this interruption, the awkward atmosphere eased slightly. The Time Dragon looked away from Saixitia with slight regret and solemnly responded,My principle-infused body is in the final phase of its transformation. I'll be heading deeper into the temporal rift next, so I won't be traveling with you. But speaking of resources, I've collected quite a few while wandering the rift over the years.

The reverse scale on its neck gleamed, releasing a surge of dense energy and principles that rippled through the air. Seven divine lights flickered before the white dragon. Among them, five items radiated law-level fluctuations.

There was an azure twelfth-grade lotus[1] over five meters wide, a several-meter-sized golden crystal, a long purple vine dozens of meters in length, a burning white flame with the phantom of a white mutated beast within it, and a black crystalline fruit about several meters in diameter.

The remaining two items—a towering nine-leaf orchid and a sphere of pure azure liquid—weren't law-level, but they still reached the extreme of top-grade divine treasures, emanating faint traces of law.

Even the Dragon Emperor couldn't help but brighten its eyes at the sight, visibly impressed by the Time Dragon's wealth. To reveal so many law-based resources in one go was remarkable. After all, it had just fought a powerful ancient python over merely two law-level Stone Hearts.

A silver glow carried six of the divine items toward the gathered colossal beasts. The Dragon Emperor received the long purple vine. The azure lotus and golden crystal floated toward the Silver Dragon, while the white flame and black fruit were sent to the Golden-Blue Dragon.

The Kunpeng received the nine-leaf orchid, and the sphere of pure azure liquid drifted over to quietly hover above the Purple Dragon, who had collapsed in fatigue after spitting out the mouthful or origin.

This distribution further confirmed the Dragon Emperor's suspicions. A single law-based treasure gifted to it was understandable—gratitude for helping the Time Dragon return from the past. Giving two to the Silver Dragon, its daughter, was even more expected.

However, treating the Golden-Blue Dragon on equal terms as the Silver Dragon? That was unusual. After all, from the surface of things, the Golden-Blue Dragon was just the daughter of a neighbor. Even one such gift would make any titan green with envy.

The Time Dragon gave a low growl.These are just some resources I picked up while drifting through time. They're no longer of use to me, so I offer them today as gifts. Don't be shy.

Your Majesty, you're too generous,the Dragon Emperor responded, baring a jagged smile before opening its maw wide and swallowing its gift in one gulp.

Boom!

The moment the vine, a divine item imbued with a pure origin of law, entered its body, it exploded with a surge of violent purple light. Its flesh and blood quaked, its bones stretching and cracking. All across its body, sharp cracking sounds echoed as the purple brilliance seeped in.

How is this possible?!The Time Dragon could only watch as the black-and-red colossal beast—just slightly smaller than it—began to swell visibly after swallowing the purple vine. It wasn't just a matter of its body growing; its law-based aura also surged and fused, and the pressure it exuded as a titan became increasingly terrifying.

Seeing its father's shocked expression, the Silver Dragon let out a disdainful growl.Don't act surprised. Ao Tian has always been fast at digesting and converting energy. This is normal.

Normal, my tail... This beast's digestion and conversion speed is nearly a thousand times that of mine, a peak-titan-level colossal dragon.Although the Time Dragon grumbled inwardly, since its daughter had said so, no matter how surprised it felt, it couldn't show it.

Calm down. Calm down. I'm a colossal dragon about to reach the ancient titan level. This beast may be quick at digestion, but it's only at the middle stage of the titan level. Who knows how long it'll take to break into the ancient titan level...With that self-reassurance, the Time Dragon soon regained its composure.

The Silver Dragon glanced at the Dragon Emperor, whose aura was growing increasingly fierce, then lifted its head and let out a scornful roar.Don't think giving me two fancy items means the great Saixitia will forgive you.

Just as the Silver Dragon finished speaking, the Golden-Blue Dragon gracefully stepped forward two paces.Saixitia, if you don't want them, give them to me.

As it spoke, the Golden-Blue Dragon extended its right claw toward the azure lotus in front of the Silver Dragon. At the same time, a soul fluctuation echoed by its ear, lowered and secretive.Idiot, ignore whatever that guy said. Just take the benefits first.

Damn you, Thorsafi, don't you dare steal what belongs to the great Saixitia!The Silver Dragon let out an anxious roar and quickly swept its tail to curl the lotus and golden crystal behind itself for protection, then turned and glared ferociously at the Golden-Blue Dragon.

However, as mythical-level beasts, their level of soul communication was almost the same as speaking right in front of the Time Dragon, making it feel a bit awkward. Still, that didn't matter.

After the Silver Dragon pulled away the two law-based treasures, the Golden-Blue Dragon simply and unhurriedly stored away the black divine fruit and white flame. Unlike the Dragon Emperor, they couldn't just devour law-level treasures and instantly digest them.

Thank you! Thank you, great Kurapavida!The Kunpeng wasn't one for drama. With a cheerfully wagging tail, it eagerly opened its mouth and swallowed the nine-leaf orchid in one gulp. This is the benefit of sticking with a boss—you never lack good stuff to eat.

Eeya!

The half-asleep Purple Dragon also opened its mouth slightly and swallowed the floating sphere of pure azure liquid in front of it. Immediately, powerful energy fluctuations surged across its body.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Emperor exhaled a blast of searing shockwaves from its nostrils and slowly opened its eyes. Within its golden pupils, faint arcs of black lightning danced. It let out a low growl, its voice humming through the air and shaking the heavens.Many thanks to Your Majesty for this gift. My strength has once again improved.

Now that most of the purple vine's energy had been digested, its body had grown from 2,700 meters to more than 2,780 meters, and its aura had increased further. The three pairs of golden-red feathery horns on either side of its head had also changed. Apart from the silver spatial rune traces carved into them, they were now also wrapped with patterns of Destruction, Vajra, and Chaotic Dark Force, shining brilliantly.

As its gaze fell on those three pairs of horns, the Time Dragon couldn't help showing a look of shock.May I ask out of curiosity, Thunder Fiery Dragon King, how many high-level laws have you mastered?

There was no need to hide that, so the Dragon Emperor casually gave a low growl.Not that many—just nine.

Gasp!

The Time Dragon couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.What a monster. No wonder its combat power is so outrageous. Even back at the early stage of the titan level, it could fight two demon gods head-on. Wait a minute... early stage of the titan level.

Looking at the black-and-red colossal beast now nearly 2,800 meters long, and the Silver Dragon which had already reached the middle stage of the mythical level, the Time Dragon paused again.

I never imagined that a brief return to the past would result in so much time having passed here in the present,the Time Dragon murmured softly.Thunder Fiery Dragon King, please look after Saixitia and Thorsafi for me. Once my principle-infused body completes its transformation, I'll reward you generously.

As it finished speaking, silver light surged over the Time Dragon's body. Its figure twisted slightly, as if stepping into another stream of time, and disappeared.

The moment the Time Dragon vanished, the Silver Dragon let out a sigh of relief.That guy's finally gone. In front of it, the great Saixitia felt completely stripped of dignity...

Uh...The Dragon Emperor genuinely didn't know how to respond. When this creature first saw the father it had never met before, instead of feeling excited or close, it was actually concerned that it didn't look fierce enough compared to the larger white colossal dragon.

The Silver Dragon excitedly leaned close to the Dragon Emperor, roaring happily.Ao Tian, that guy gave us two great things. The great Saixitia can't finish them—how about giving you one?

The Golden-Blue Dragon also took two graceful steps forward, letting out a soft growl.We're only at the middle stage of the mythical level. We can only digest one for now. You take the other, Thunder Fiery.

Before the Dragon Emperor could refuse, the Golden-Blue Dragon tilted its head and added,Your digestion is faster. Once you absorb it, you can immediately convert it into combat power and gather even more resources.

Watching these two dragons give away half of their treasures to the Dragon Emperor, the Kunpeng behind them looked on with envy in its eyes.

Looking at the floating azure twelfth-grade lotus and the black crystalline divine fruit, the Dragon Emperor paused briefly, then let out a low growl.Then I'll gladly accept.

It didn't refuse the two's kindness. Just as the Golden-Blue Dragon said, it could convert the treasures into combat power immediately. Once it advanced to the ancient titan level, the effects of law-level divine items would sharply decline, and by then, most of them would be left to the Silver Dragon and the others anyway.

Boom! Boom!

As the Dragon Emperor swallowed both law-level divine items in one gulp, violent waves of law origin and energy exploded within its body, and its aura surged again. By this count, it had obtained three law-level resources from the Time Dragon today—an absolute windfall.
