Far behind the battlefield, the Emperor of the Darkhan Dynasty slammed his mallets onto the Thunder God Drum.
ROAR!
In response, a thunderous sound wave tore through the sky as Little Shrubby's roar echoed.
The drum's surface flared with violet light, releasing a blinding surge of Dao energy; pure Dao Traces and Dao Insights, refined and condensed over countless years of the Emperor's cultivation.
The divine sound rippled outward and merged with the pillar of lightning that Little Shrubby had created.
The lightning didn't explode, instead it compressed. The raw Dao power was forced into the storm, funneling its energy directly into Little Shrubby's body.
ROAR!
Electric arcs enveloped the beast as his body grew, swelling with pure Lightning Dao energy until he towered fifteen meters high. His fur became pure lightning, his claws sharp streaks of living thunder.
And above him appeared the spectral form of the Thunderbolt Cheetah bloodline, roaring with feral pride.
