Chapter 244: Self-Destruction Under the Sea (I)

Looking at the girl’s silhouette, with her long hair dancing in the wind, Chen Chu also sat down against the mountain wall to begin his own cultivation.

As Chen Chu activated his stage 6 Dragon Elephant Art, waves of transcendent energy were absorbed through his pores and then quickly refined by the true dragon power. Currently, the amount of energy he could absorb and refine every second was hundreds of times greater than when he had been in the Third Heavenly Realm.

This was the terrifying aspect of condensing the Tyrant Body Divine Might, and cultivating the Dragon Elephant Art to perfection. Each absorption felt as if a true colossal beast was devouring the transcendent energy of the heavens and earth.

Compared to mutated creatures, who had advanced physical strength and could awaken their abilities at level 2 or 3, human cultivators were at a disadvantage in the beginning stages.

A First Heavenly Realm cultivator was no match for a level 1 mutated beast, and similarly, a Second Heavenly Realm cultivator would not be able to defeat a level 2 beast. Only in the Third Heavenly Realm, with the protection of true power, the use of weapons, and mastery of combat skills, would cultivators be able to engage in one-on-one combat.

Then, when cultivators reached the Fourth Heavenly Realm and the power of true martial arts began to manifest, the gap between cultivators and mutated creatures would begin to narrow.

As they proceeded higher in the Realms and reached the Sixth, cultivators could even use transcendent weapons, armor, secret arts, high level techniques, and strengthened willpower to surpass mutated creatures.

By the time cultivators reached the Seventh Heavenly Realm and condensed the True Martial Phantom, those who could harness transcendent energy with every move would be even stronger, surpassing mutated creatures that relied solely on physical ability.

Of course, this comparison wasn’t absolute. Just like geniuses, mutated creatures of the same level were also divided into ordinary, elite, king-level, and draconic classes. It was just that humans that had mastered the legacy of art and cultivation had a greater potential and faster growth rates than those mutated creatures.

However, as Chen Chu quietly cultivated, he suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart, and part of his attention shifted over to the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast.

Roar! The cave has been opened.

Thousands of meters underneath the sea, a cave located on the mountainside emitted a faint blue glow, and the Thunder Beast let out a ferocious growl at the sight.

The last time it had been here, it had made sure to block the entrance to this cave before leaving.

Beside it, the forty-six-meter-long Single-horned Kun swayed its tail, emitting disappointed squeaks.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, I don’t smell anything good inside anymore.

The two beasts had once killed two giant double-headed sea pythons here. It could still remember the pythons’ innate abilities to poison and slow down opponents like it was yesterday.

This was the only time the Thunder Beast had encountered an ability related to time since entering the deep sea. If it hadn’t been for not meeting the evolutionary requirements at the time, it would have considered absorbing that slowing effect.

The big and ferocious Deep Sea Dragon Turtle curiously peered into the cave, then let out a low growl. Roar! The cave is too small, I can\'t go in.

Roar! I\'ll go in and take a look.

The Thunder Beast was not about to give up. With a forceful swish of its tail, it squeezed into the dimly lit cave.

At this point, the Thunder Beast had grown to a length of forty-eight meters, appearing increasingly ferocious and intimidating. The cave it could casually enter the last time now seemed somewhat cramped.

Compared to its robust state when it had hunted the ancient giant crocodile over ten days ago, the Thunder Beast was now much longer but significantly thinner, appearing somewhat malnourished. Under the effect of the growth crystals, its body grew rapidly, but its demand for energy had also increased significantly.

After depleting the area around the island of food, the supply for that energy had fallen short, which was why it had brought the Kun and the Dragon Turtle out to hunt.

Soon, the Thunder Beast emerged from the cave, its gaze ice-cold. Roar! Not only have the goods been eaten, but that stone pillar has also been destroyed.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Damn it, there won\'t be any good stuff here anymore.

The Kun also became angry in an instant. The Thunder Beast had described the situation inside before, so it knew that the valuables that could enhance innate abilities had been condensed from that stone pillar.

Roar! We can\'t let it get away. Split up and search within a three-hundred-kilometer radius. I want to eat that guy.

If that mutated creature had only dug open the hole and eaten the blue pearl condensed inside, the Thunder Beast would have just felt a bit sad before burying the cave properly to come back later.

But to destroy the pillar completely? This thing was simply asking for death. If it didn\'t eat that mutated creature, the Thunder Beast wouldn\'t be able to settle its thoughts.

Roar, roar! Damn it, let’s eat the bastard.

Seeing the Thunder Beast angry, the Dragon Turtle also let out a furious roar, its aura surging as it prepared to search the surrounding area.

However, just as the three mutated creatures were about to take action, the Thunder Beast suddenly shifted its gaze, turning to look at a dark area on the left.

Through electric waves, it sensed a mutated creature over twenty meters long, resembling a serpent with a pair of horns on its head, swimming in their direction.

This mutated creature also had claws growing out its abdomen, and emitted a powerful aura. As it passed by, ordinary marine creatures fled in panic, and the black serpent would let out excited growls, enjoying the sight of other creatures’ fear at its power.

However, as this mutated creature swam along, its massive body suddenly stiffened, and a look of panic appeared in its eyes as it looked ahead.

Three colossal beasts, each larger than itself, looked back at it silently, their sheer presence causing the serpent-like creature to instinctively tremble.

Since forming a team with the Dragon Turtle and the Kun, the Thunder Beast had imparted the Hidden Divinity secret art to them through spiritual thoughts.

Although they had been cultivating for only a short while and were still beginners, the violent auras and formidable energy fluctuations emanating from them had been significantly reduced. This was also why this level 5 mutated creature hadn’t sensed the danger in advance.

Roar! Destroy it.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Charge!

Roar, roar! Kill it!

In an instant, chaos erupted underwater. The three level 7 colossal beasts exploded with furious might, their massive bodies crashing down and overwhelming the black-horned serpent with a resounding boom.

One minute later, the Thunder Beast let out a satisfied growl as it fed on the mutated creature.

Roar! That felt good. How dare this guy steal our stuff.

As it roared, traces of flesh and blood mixed with water seeped through the Thunder Beast\'s teeth.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! It ate good stuff, so we\'ll eat it.

The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle also shook its head and roared along. Roar, roar! We get to eat good every day when we follow Thunder Fiery.

As soon as the Dragon Turtle finished roaring, the Kun gave it the side-eye, despising its lack of backbone for resorting to flattery.

Even the Thunder Beast looked puzzled. How had it not noticed before that this chatterbox had a talent for sucking up?

Perhaps, because it was intimidated, the Dragon Turtle was a bit less talkative this time, which made what it did say more noticeable.

Roar! Big Horn, lead the way, let\'s go to that trench and find some good stuff.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Charge!

Roar, roar! Wait for me, guys!

The Thunder Beast had discovered a lot of resources with the Kun. In addition to the blue pearls here that could enhance abilities, there was also the green life crystal shards in the deep-sea trench and the Magma Tree within the lava lake. The fruits on the tree, however, matured very slowly, so the Thunder Beast planned to check it out later.

After the three colossal beasts swam for three hours, they arrived at the underwater canyon where the Kun had been critically injured before. The massive skeletons of the Armored Spider Crabs still laid quietly on the seabed. Even the part of the canyon that the Sword Beast had destroyed remained unchanged.

Good, no one had touched the valuables this time.

Roar! Let\'s get to work.
