A massive purple-golden giant beast skeleton, nearly two thousand meters in height, towered beside a black-red giant beast that was a staggering two thousand three hundred meters long.
Surrounding the Destruction Emperor Dragon, a white mist reassembled, resembling a vast mountain range that intermittently revealed itself, emanating an invisible sense of oppression from the giant beast.
Eating a titan early-stage giant beast only granted the Destruction Emperor Dragon a temporary increase of several meters in height.
This phenomenon was reminiscent of when it first evolved into a Sword Armored Beast, where it could only gain a slight advantage from devouring a similarly ranked fourth-level mutated beast.
The reason wasn't that energy had decreased, but rather that more energy was required for each slight increase.
At this moment, in the left claw of the Destruction Emperor Dragon, a fiery and powerful blood qi force was gathering and circulating, gradually revealing the traces of a dark star rune on a fine scale.
However, as soon as the 'planet-like' rune appeared, its internal structure shook violently and transformed back into pure blood qi force, dissipating.
"Indeed, the innate runes condensed from the technique cannot be directly gathered," a thoughtful expression emerged in the icy golden vertical pupils of the Destruction Emperor Dragon as it slowly lowered its left claw.
After devouring the purple giant beast, seeing that the two giant dragons were still fighting, the Destruction Emperor Dragon attempted to condense the dark star rune that Chen Chu had just obtained.
It failed consecutively more than thirty times.
Compared to the basic runes like the restraining force field, the dark star rune was extraordinarily complex, cultivated step by step through techniques, combining the cultivator's essence, spirit, and the power of heavy elements for sublimation.
This rune was akin to an innate talent, and the next step would lead to divine ability power.
Thus, for the Destruction Emperor Dragon, which couldn't cultivate body refinement techniques, condensing the dark star rune was almost impossible under normal circumstances unless it possessed metallic talents.
At that point, it could absorb heavy metal elements with its metallic talent and simulate the dark star talent rune with blood qi, achieving the tenth type of supreme talent.
As Chen Chu absorbed a large amount of heavy metal elements to alter part of his physical 'attributes' and condensed the dark star rune, the Destruction Emperor Dragon became somewhat interested in this ability.
In comparison to the time talent mastered by the Time Silver Butterfly, the ability to absorb heavy metal elements to change flesh qualities was more suitable for the Destruction Emperor Dragon.
This was because the Destruction Emperor Dragon's greatest advantage lay in its unmatched and robust giant beast body.
Talents like the time rule and destruction rule could encounter restrictions or seals, as seen with the Time Silver Butterfly that Chen Chu had killed earlier.
However, the powerful giant beast body would not be restricted, especially under the influence of chaotic dark power, with its entire scales engraved with the talent of 'invulnerability.'
If the Destruction Emperor Dragon's tenth talent were 'dark star,' along with its terrifying evolutionary growth speed, it might one day grow into a 'black hole.'
At that time, the Destruction Emperor Dragon, measuring several million meters in length, would stand tall against the firmament, and its invisible gravitational pull would tear the world apart, with terrifying defenses that ignored all attacks.
Of course, the imagination was beautiful, but there was still the question of whether the dark star runes condensed by Chen Chu had a limit and whether the Destruction Emperor Dragon could obtain dark star power through its metallic talent.
Just as the Destruction Emperor Dragon wavered between time and dark star capabilities, the two giant dragons finished fighting and returned with heavy, limping footsteps.
