Chapter 314: War God Body 2.0, Imperial Essence, Merging with Myself (I)

It couldn’t approach either way. Given its current level and size, it would be detected by radar as soon as it came within a few kilometers of the warship, unless it remained hidden a thousand meters deep in the ocean.

The presence of transcendent energy in the deep sea greatly affected sonar and energy detection due to the immense pressure and dense energy. Currently, the ship’s sensors could only detect giant creatures within a range of a thousand meters deep. Beyond that, everything was pitch black, rendering detection impossible.

Thus, unless one actively exposed itself, it was difficult for humans to detect transcendent colossal beasts beneath the deep sea. This was also one of the reasons humans had abandoned most of the sea.

Simultaneously, it explained why the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast had established the Dragon Palace over a thousand meters underwater—it knew that humans wouldn’t be able to discover it unless a human powerhouse personally descended.

In the deep sea, hot air erupted from the black-red colossal beast’s shoulder spikes, propelling it forward like a torpedo missile as it occasionally adjusted direction with a slight twitch of its tail.

After gaining the ability to emit golden flames, the Thunder Fiery Emperor Beast found it very convenient to move underwater, no longer needing to swing its tail to generate explosive force. This wasn’t just useful for swimming, but also greatly enhanced its kinetic energy, making its combat capabilities even more formidable.

However, at the moment, the Thunder Beast was diminishing its originally aggressive and enhanced aura.

Yes, it was strong now, but humans, who had developed over decades, were even stronger. Not only did they possess advanced cultivators, but their powerful weapons also made the beast wary, such as that satellite strike that had just descended from the sky.

Chen Chu had reviewed descriptions of the satellites\' power in the information database, noting that its single-target destructive power surpassed previous nuclear weapons.

However, experiencing it firsthand was entirely different. The shockwave had been so overwhelming that even the apprehensive Thunder Beast knew that it wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Nevertheless, despite being unable to counter it, such long-range attacks couldn’t reach it. With a speed akin to instantaneous short-distance movement, not even a level 9 colossal beast could catch it.

Although it was also technically human, and the Thunder Beast didn’t regard humanity as an enemy, humans were unaware of this. So, it still needed to remain low-key to avoid drawing human attention.

It would amass resources, bide its time, and continue developing underwater. It needed to break through to level 9 before making any moves.

Over two hours later, using directional and main body positioning, the Thunder Beast arrived at the coral reefs where it had once slain the Deep Sea Apes. However, the once magnificent reefs had long since become a wasteland, with only a few purple corals stubbornly emitting faint light.

Arriving at the small hill that had been dug up and filled in by the Dragon Turtle, the Thunder Beast tossed the dragon horns aside. It then extended its claws, each swipe displacing hundreds of tons of rubble and soil. Soon, it had dug out a passage.

At the very bottom of the slanted, hundred-meter-long cave were countless corals that emitted a purple glow, turning the entire cave into a purple world.

Some purple energy substances drifted through the cave with the seawater.

Roar! These purple energy substances are growing a bit too slowly, the Thunder Beast remarked, a hint of disappointment in its voice as it observed the thin purple energy drifting in the cave.

In reality, the growth rate of these corals wasn’t slow; it had been just over half a month since the Silver Colossal Dragon’s arrival at the Dragon Palace. However, compared to the initial abundance of purple energy that had once filled the entire cave, the current amount seemed quite sparse.

It seemed the yield here wasn’t as promising.

Roar! Well, better than nothing. I’ll make do with what I have for now.

With a low growl, the Thunder Beast extended its right claw, and a stream of water gathered the drifting energy substances around it, concentrating them in its right claw. The hot golden flames then ignited.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under the intense heat of the flames and the powerful pressure of the water, the sand-like purple energy substances were continuously compressed and tempered. Gradually, a purple crystal about the size of a fist appeared in the Thunder Beast\'s claw.

After evolving to level 8, its control over power had become even more formidable, allowing it to collect and compress energy from the surrounding environment into solid crystals. Of course, this process was time-consuming and labor-intensive, often not worth the effort.

The purple energy substances here were akin to pure energy and very gentle, easily absorbed and digested by mutated creatures to promote rapid growth. Such pure energy would also be effective for Chen Chu, accelerating his true power development even more efficiently than Blue Crystals.

Meanwhile, as the Thunder Beast condensed the purple crystal, Chen Chu slowly closed the secret scripture in his hands as he sat in the Porcelain Stadium’s backstage dressing room, and a complex runic phantom in his eyes gradually dissipated.

After several hours of analysis, with the assistance of the Double Pupil of the Void, Chen Chu had made significant progress. The foundational framework of the restructured secret scripture had already taken shape.

That afternoon, in a corner of Qingshan City, several figures exuding a powerful aura scattered around the ruins of broken buildings.

Beside these individuals were several massive foxes, each over ten meters in body length and twenty meters including their tails. They stood gracefully, their eyes reflecting a human-like intelligence.

One of these foxes, covered in black scales and measuring thirteen meters in length, stood behind Qingqiu Minghui. Its face was adorned with three pairs of eerily glowing white eyes; no anomaly could hide from their gaze.

On the ground lay three severely injured figures, along with several shattered corpses, indicating that a brutal battle had just taken place here.

A middle-aged man exuding a Sixth Heavenly Realm aura approached Qingqiu Minghui respectfully and asked, “Young Master, how should we handle these people?”

Qingqiu Minghui replied indifferently, “Take them back for interrogation. Tell Old Yan to use no restraint. We need to shake their spirits and extract all useful information. These rats hiding in the shadows dare to appear in my nation. They shouldn’t expect to leave alive.”

With that, Qingqiu Minghui turned and left with the six-eyed black fox.

He hadn’t been joking when he assured Yan Ruoyi that Qingshan City was absolutely safe right now. Over the decades, the Qingqiu family and Baihu nation had studied and cultivated mutated beasts, particularly fox-type beasts, on par with North Lin.

With the influence of the mythical colossal beast, they had cultivated many foxes with unique abilities. Some had near-supernatural senses, others mutated eyes, and some even had mind-perception abilities similar to Chen Chu, capable of discerning loyalty and treachery.

Combined with high-tech support, many problematic individuals had been captured in the city over the past few days. Among them were wandering criminals, cultivators, spies from the Demon God Cult, ordinary cultists from the Blood Cult, and even a spirit-corrupted "eye."
