Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 464: Breakthrough During Seclusion, The Emperors Return (II)

Chapter 464: Breakthrough During Seclusion, The Emperor's Return (II)

On the sea surface, over two thousand kilometers away from the World of Water and Fire, a black orca, over fifty meters long, leapt a hundred meters into the air before crashing back down.

Boom!

As the massive body of the late-stage level 7 colossal beast hit the water, the sea exploded, sending up a spray hundreds of meters high.

Excitedly circling the area but finding nothing of note, Hu San let out a series of squeaky calls. Squeak! Squeak! Master, Master, I’ve got some news!

Boom!

In the distance, from the depths of the ocean, the aura of a level 9 colossal beast erupted. Moments later, a colossal mosasaur, over two hundred meters long, emerged from the darkness.

Its enormous body exuded a sense of overwhelming pressure as it slowly approached the black orca. The mosasaur let out a low growl. Roar! You found out something so quickly?

The mosasaur glanced around the black orca, its eyes filled with suspicion and wariness. Roar! Where are your subordinates?

Without changing expression, Hu San respectfully replied. Squeak! I had them wait far away. Those guys are too timid, they can’t even speak in front of you, Master.

Is that so?

The mosasaur growled. Roar! What news have you found out about the Dragon Palace?

The orca excitedly waved its fins. Squeak! I’ve discovered that the Blue Giant Crab of the Dragon Palace has already broken through to level 8. It’s become really fierce and strong!

...Level 8. The mosasaur was speechless.

It had thought this was some important intel, but after all that, it turned out to be about a lowly underling of the Dragon Palace reaching level 8. It could swallow a beginning-stage level 8 creature in one bite.

However, the mosasaur still encouraged it. Roar! I see. You’ve done well this time. Keep it up, and in time, I will introduce you to the Black Abyss King.

Roar! Remember, the Black Abyss King is a mythical-level colossal beast, and among mythical colossal beasts, he is one of the strongest. If he takes notice of you, it would be the greatest honor.

The black orca immediately expressed gratitude, slapping its fins in excitement. Squeak! Thank you, thank you, Master, for your support!

Roar! Is there anything else? The mosasaur looked at the black orca, still floating in the water and not leaving, with some confusion.

The orca blinked its big eyes and innocently looked at the mosasaur. Squeak! Master, didn’t you say that if I brought useful news, you’d give me something good to eat?

...For this worthless news, you want a divine fruit? The mosasaur almost roared in frustration but managed to suppress its anger in the end.

After a moment of thought, the mosasaur controlled the water flow and brought out a black-and-red fruit, about one meter in diameter, from between its armored scales. It was the same type of fruit the orca had eaten before.

The black orca’s eyes lit up instantly, excitement clear on its face.

The mosasaur growled. Roar! The information you brought today wasn’t very significant, but since you’ve worked so hard, I’ve decided to reward you with this Dark Molten Divine Fruit.

Squeak! Thank you, Master! I will work even harder to serve you.

Roar! Remember, your main task is to gather intel on the dragon kings of the Dragon Palace, especially the areas where they reside. Find out if they are usually sleeping or doing something else.

Squeak! Understood! I’ll find out everything, including what they eat and what sleeping positions they prefer.

With that, the black orca eagerly opened its monstrous mouth and swallowed the Dark Molten Divine Fruit from the mythical world in one gulp.

Boom!

The searing, immense energy exploded in its stomach once again. Stimulated by the energy from the mythical world resource, the black orca erupted with an even more ferocious aura.

The black energy flowed and spread over a radius of several hundred meters, making it appear as if it were a colossal beast lurking in the abyss, exuding a dangerous and menacing presence.

However, while the divine fruit's energy remained vast, its effect on the black orca was much weaker than before, causing it to grow only from fifty-five meters to fifty-eight meters.

The now slightly disappointed black orca squeaked. Squeak! Why am I still not at the peak of level 7?

The mosasaur growled. Roar! This is normal. The energy from each transcendent divine item is most effective the first time it is used; subsequent uses will have diminished effects.

Roar! After four or five times, these divine items will no longer be effective for transcendent beings and can only be used to replenish energy. You’ll need to use a different god-level resource for rapid growth again.

This piece of trash is a divine item from the mythical world? This is only my second use, and the effect is already so weak.

Despite grumbling inside, the black orca showed joy and gratitude in its eyes. Squeak! I understand now. Thank you, Master. I will go and gather more information about the dragon kings of the Dragon Palace.

Squeak! I’ll come back to report as soon as I have any findings.

The mosasaur quickly growled. Roar! No rush. After you have gathered all the information about the dragon kings, come back and report to me.

It was somewhat wary of the orca finding a little bit of information and immediately seeking it out, as it didn’t have many Dark Molten Divine Fruits to reward with.

The mosasaur had only been given three by the Sword Dragon Taar for this outing and had been hoping to save one to taste, even though it had eaten them before.

The black orca’s eyes shifted, and then it respectfully nodded. Squeak! Understood, Master. I’ll be back soon. Please wait for me.

Haha... got another fruit. The black orca swam away happily.

But Mom said that it’s not easy to fool them for fruits, and eating this one means it will be too dangerous to come back for more.

Soon, the black orca met up with a group of over ten mutated orcas waiting a few kilometers away.

This batch of orcas was different from the last, but because they all looked similar, it wasn’t obvious, except for a female orca with a mutated fish stomach pouch hanging from her dorsal fin.

Back with its clan, the black orca, called out loudly, full of energy. Squeak! Follow me, our target this time is the Dragon Palace’s base camp!

Squeak! The leader is mighty.

Squeak! Leader, you’ve worked hard.

Squeak! Charge with the leader, eat once every three days...

With the excited calls of the mutated orcas, the group surged toward the World of Water and Fire, their aura fierce and unafraid.

Once all of the orcas had departed, the mosasaur slowly surfaced from the depths, nodding in satisfaction. It was very pleased with the black orca’s enthusiasm.

Of course, it wasn’t so easily deceived. After all, this was the territory of the Dragon Palace, and it had used its domain to follow discreetly.

But it seemed that the orca hadn’t deceived it after all. The orca had indeed left its subordinates in the distance. Though the mosasaur did have a faint impression of the little orca with the stomach pouch hanging from its dorsal fin.
