Chapter 917: Ancient Dragon Emperor, The Faeries (III)
At the edge of the Chaotic Region, a golden-black colossal beast over six thousand meters long slowly stepped forward. With every step it took, the heavens and earth trembled.
The invisible aura it radiated stirred the transcendent energy across ten thousand kilometers, unleashing wave upon wave of white energy tides that surged outward in all directions. It was a truly overwhelming spectacle.
Lying prone on the ground, much of its scales still charred black, the Silver Colossal Dragon let out an excited roar as it looked up at the towering beast before it.Ao Tian, you've become so powerful now!
The Destructive Dragon Emperor nodded slightly, and its movement stirred massive shockwaves through the air. A deep, resonant voice followed.Not bad. This breakthrough felt good.
The Silver Dragon struggled to its feet, spreading its wings excitedly as its claws tapped the ground.Ao Tian, we can dominate the Chaotic Region now, right?
Sensing the Silver Dragon's usual carefree tone, the Dragon Emperor's lips curled into a sinister grin.Of course. I am now invincible.
It likely didn't rank among the top powerhouses of the mythical world just yet; however, within the Chaotic Region, even if true-spirit-level beasts were lurking, the Dragon Emperor was confident it would remain unbeaten. The only exception was that time-based true spirit that had vanished into the void.
The Silver Dragon became even more excited. Its wings stirred violently, shaking off fragments of blackened scales as its massive body soared into the sky and circled around the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor then turned its gaze to the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon and the Single-Horned Kunpeng a thousand kilometers away. It released a deep roar that shook space and time.Big Horn, Thorsafi, no need to be restrained. No matter how far my power goes, we are still friends and teammates.
Compared to the Silver Dragon's carefree nature, both the Kunpeng and the Golden-Blue Dragon felt a natural sense of awe in the presence of the newly ascended Dragon Emperor, whose true strength could possibly already rival that of a true spirit.
What intimidated them even more was the faint, omnipresent pressure from its bloodline. The disparity was so vast that even without drawing close, their bodies and souls instinctively reacted with fear, reverence, and submission. Even the Kunpeng, who had followed the Dragon Emperor from the start, couldn't escape that instinct.
While the two colossal beasts were stiff with unease, a soft, childish voice suddenly piped up from atop the Dragon Emperor's fearsome head.Eat... Yiyi wants to eat more... So tasty, so tasty...
Curled up near the massive dragon head was the Little Purple Dragon, about twenty meters long. Its eyes remained closed as it slumbered, emitting faint ripples of creation energy as it absorbed the life aura radiating from the Dragon Emperor's body. That life force was so dense it had nearly taken physical form. Golden-red wisps of energy flowed into the Purple Dragon's mouth.
This sight instantly made the Golden-Blue Dragon's eyes widen in shock. That was pure life aura from the Dragon Emperor, condensed into a tangible state. A single strand of that would rival a law-level bloodline treasure.
Only that little one can eat like that.A tinge of envy appeared in the Golden-Blue Dragon's eyes. The ability to condense intangible life force into substance was already a tremendous power, and the Dragon Emperor was letting the Purple Dragon feed freely, without interruption. This was equivalent to siphoning off the Dragon Emperor's very life force.
As the Golden-Blue Dragon and the Kunpeng finally calmed their nerves and slowly rose from the ground, the Dragon Emperor glanced at the Silver Dragon circling in front of it, then suddenly let out a low growl.Let's go. I've broken through to the ancient titan level. It's time to return. Once we're back, we'll gather all our strength, unite every mythical-level and above beast in the Chaotic Region, and then I will launch an expedition.
Expedition? Ao Tian, who are you planning to fight?the Silver Dragon asked in surprise.
As the three curious beasts looked on, the Dragon Emperor's gaze turned icy cold. It lowered its voice and growled,A powerful faction with twenty ancient-titan-level forces... I intend to wipe them all out.
At once, the Silver Dragon roared,Those bastards actually dared provoke Ao Tian? Courting death! Slaughter them all! The great Saixitia will bathe them in blood!
Now recovered, the Kunpeng beat its wings furiously.Those scum really deserve to die! How dare they provoke Thunder Fiery! We'll kill them all and plunder everything they have!
Compared to the two colossal beasts who blindly worshiped the Dragon Emperor, the Golden-Blue Dragon let out a quiet breath of relief.Twenty ancient titans... shouldn't be a problem.
With the Dragon Emperor's unmatched might within its class, and its ability to battle across realms, even facing twenty ancient lifeforms wasn't unthinkable. At present, besides the Dragon Emperor, Dragon Palace possessed several ancient-titan-level combatants: Jormungandr, the ray-beast Alius, and the Lord of the Earth, Kutadirei. There was also the Blade King, Toryad, whose strength rivaled ordinary ancient titans. That made five forces at that level.
In addition, Saixitia's mother, Adrienna, had likely also broken through to the ancient titan level. Given Saixitia's relationship, pulling it into the Dragon Palace shouldn't be difficult. Its mother, already in the late stage of the titan level, could likely be persuaded to join as well.
As the Golden-Blue Dragon calculated, a trace of shock gradually surfaced in its eyes. It hadn't expected the Dragon Palace's power to have grown so much without them even noticing.
Who would have thought that just a few day-cycles ago, the Dragon Palace had only a few scattered members. Its strongest, the Dragon Emperor, had only just broken into the mythical level.
While the Golden-Blue Dragon remained stunned, a golden-red wave of light erupted from the Dragon Emperor, warping space and enveloping the Silver Dragon, the Golden-Blue Dragon, and the Kunpeng.
Under the power of principle, the colossal beasts turned into beams of light and shot into the Chaotic Region, instantly crossing hundreds of thousands of kilometers and vanishing into the endless sea of flames.
With the Dragon Emperor's departure, the overwhelming pressure that had gripped the realm dissipated. Countless mutated beasts over a million kilometers wide collectively exhaled in relief. Most of the ones below the mythical level didn't even know what they were afraid of; they only knew that their bodies had suddenly gone weak, unable to stand, as they instinctively bowed their heads in reverence toward a certain direction.
Half a day after the Dragon Emperor's departure, the space at its breakthrough site remained shattered, still brimming with destructive aura and chaotic laws. A dark forbidden zone spanning tens of thousands of kilometers had taken form. From within the damaged spatial rift at the heart of the forbidden zone, wisps of black aura began to emerge.
This wasn't like abyssal demonic qi. There was no overt evil or darkness; instead, they reeked of chaos, contamination, distortion, and madness. Passing through the rift from deeper void, they slithered like fine tendrils, cautiously spreading outward as if sensing something. Even then, they spread quickly, filling thousands of kilometers. A powerful, invisible ancient consciousness swept over a range of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
No powerful life aura. No energy fluctuations. The terrifying creature had left.
Deep within the rift, a massive creature exhaled in silence. Even so, the enormous being didn't emerge. It remained in hiding, continuously channeling void energy imbued with principle into the material realm. As the endless black power surged forth, the forbidden zone was soon flooded with frenzied void energy. Only then did the rift begin to violently tremble.
Boom!
A black tendril over ten thousand meters long, lined with white bone spikes, tore through the passage and entered the material world. Moments later, another mountainous tentacle emerged from the void, entwined with black void principles. A burst of power surged as it yanked forcefully.
Rip!
Space shredded like cloth, and layers upon layers tore open, expanding the rift until it was a thousand kilometers long and reached deep into darkness. Behind it stood a monster over thirty thousand meters long, its body covered in black scales. Its upper torso resembled a tyrannosaur, but bore two pairs of mantis-like scything claws.
Its lower body stood on four bent legs, ending in a long tail. Its back sprouted eight massive tendrils, each over ten thousand meters long. The creature was covered in sharp bone spikes and emitted a silent roar. Four greedy eyes stared toward the material world.
Boom!
As this void monster crossed into the rift, the entire realm shook violently. Forces of repulsion transformed into lightning and storm.
To the material worlds, such twisted void creatures were tumors, like dark matter, repelled by the foundational principles of the world itself. The stronger the void monster, the stronger the rejection. Even with a spatial rift linking the deeper void, entering the material world was nearly impossible, especially in the mythical world, where the foundational principles were incomparably firm.
However, due to the chaos and collapse caused by the Dragon Emperor's breakthrough, the principles here had unraveled. The thunder and storm repulsion had been greatly weakened, allowing them to be ignored entirely.
Boom!
As the spatial rift shook violently, the void monster descended with force. Boundless black void energy burst in all directions, blotting out the sky and earth. It let out a savage, violent roar, its cold and cruel eyes gleaming with excitement.
It, the mighty Void King Dalaier, had managed to descend into the material world so effortlessly. All it had to do now was contaminate enough life, corrupt this land, or even this world, and the power it gained would soon elevate it to a Lord of the Void. Contaminating lifeforms and devouring the power of tainted worlds was the instinct of void-twisted beings, the very source of their power.
Just as the ancient creature roared in triumph, ready to bring death and ruin to this world, a deep, resonant voice suddenly echoed from the azure sky above.I almost thought you could actually resist the temptation of the material world.
Over a hundred thousand kilometers up, in the heavens still flooded with the pressure of Heavenly Dao, the massive golden-black figure of the Dragon Emperor slowly emerged. Upon its back lounged the excited Silver Dragon and Golden-Blue Dragon.
The Kunpeng, on the other hand, dangled helplessly from one of the Dragon Emperor's claws, looking more than a little disgruntled.Thunder Fiery really does treat girls better than guys.
