Chapter 1057: Nightmare Yu and the Dragon Pearl (I)

The Divine Transformation Dragon Emperor had already expected that the Little Purple Dragon’s Creation Origin would be insufficient. However, the solution was simple; it just needed to condense a single drop of vital blood essence.

Currently, the Dragon Emperor's essence was comparable to the primordial true form. A single drop of its vital blood essence carried more energy than an entire ancient titan and contained immense bloodline strength. Just a single drop was enough to raise the peak-stage-mythical-level Purple Dragon to the titan level, possibly even to the late stage.

By then, with the Purple Dragon's bloodline, the advanced Law of Creation could even become a principle. Then, if it used everything it had, that should be enough to separate Chen Chu from the colossal beast body.

However, this would slightly damage the Purple Dragon. The Dragon Emperor's bloodline was far too powerful; by using this method, the life imprint within it would force the Purple Dragon to align more and more with the Dragon Emperor’s path, affecting the Purple Dragon's growth. If this happened, then the Purple Dragon would truly become the Dragon Emperor's daughter. Furthermore, condensing vital blood essence would also harm its own foundation. These concerns were the reason the Dragon Emperor hadn’t immediately chosen to take that approach.

Just as the Dragon Emperor hesitated, unsure whether to condense the blood essence, the Primordial Forbidden Zone started trembling. Suddenly, the Purple Dragon felt a call from its bloodline.

The Dragon Emperor slowly turned its gaze toward the place where the primordial colossal beast had fallen. In that direction, auroras flared across the sky, their brilliance outshining all three suns above. The Dragon Emperor could faintly sense a mysterious power stirring to life over there.

Several decades ago, during the first mythical surge, the Purple Dragon’s egg had tumbled through a spatial rift and fallen to the bottom of the Blue Planet’s ocean. Meanwhile, the forbidden zone the human race was currently occupying had been formed by the fall of a primordial colossal beast. When it fell, its tail, which was hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, severed the Abyssal Battlefield.

Now, as the Purple Dragon burned its bloodline and origin, offering up its Dragon Pearl to convert it into Creation Origin, a bloodline call unexpectedly came from the direction of the primordial beast’s remains. Could it be that the fallen beast was one of the Purple Dragon’s parents?

A thoughtful gleam flashed in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes before it let out a deep roar that shook the sky.

Little Yi, let's stop for now and go take a look.

Eeya! Eeya!

The Purple Dragon nodded obediently. The flames of its burning origin and the glow of its bloodline gradually dimmed. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Dragon Pearl in a single gulp.

Buzz!

Purple light flashed across its body, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank from 1,900 meters to just 30. The Purple Dragon was an adorable creature with remarkable abilities. It could change its size at will, revealing itself in grand form or slipping into hiding. When large, it could summon clouds and breathe mist; when small, it could conceal its body and disappear from sight.

Perhaps the Blue Planet had begun connecting to the mythical world many years before the first mythical surge. However, at that time, the passages and rifts had been too small and unstable to cause any large-scale anomalies. As a result, neither the Blue Planet nor the solar system had been captured by the mythical world. It was only because some people had entered the mythical world, or some creatures from the mythical world had appeared on the Blue Planet, that various myths and legends had been passed down.

The Dragon Emperor looked below, its will shaking heaven and earth.

Resurrecting Chen Chu won't be easy. I have to go to where the primordial beast fell and seek out its origin. While I’m away, Adrienna will be in command.

The Dragon Palace was only here to provide support. They would leave after the great battle, and weren’t going to have much interaction with the Human Alliance. However, to prevent any problems while it was away, the Dragon Emperor assigned the Azure-White Colossal Dragon to keep watch. Among the dragon kings, it was the most dependable.

Heavenly King Zhenwu held a stone stele in one hand, his gaze fixed on the colossal figure shifting in the heavens above. His expression was solemn, and the same heaviness was mirrored on the faces of the other kings and heavenly kings. None of them had foreseen that Chen Chu’s injuries would be so severe that even the powerful colossal beast found it difficult to handle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the black-and-gold colossal beast made its move, invisible power surged from its body, shaking the forbidden zone and distorting the flow of time. Around it, dazzling streams of light coiled and twisted, as if creating a passage through time.

Beside the Dragon Emperor’s enormous head, the Silver Colossal Dragon flapped its wings. Surrounded by a radiance of nine colors, it let out a thunderous roar.

Ao Tian, do you really believe that place contains the primordial origin?

The Dragon Emperor blinked its massive eyes and let out a slow, rumbling growl toward the two curious dragons.

Under normal circumstances, no.

Before achieving Divine Fusion, Chen Chu had been curious about the site where the primordial beast had fallen. Up until now, he had planned to investigate it once he recovered his strength, to see whether it contained primordial origin. However, after reaching the semi-primordial level, with its combat power fully stepping into the primordial level, the Dragon Emperor abandoned that plan.

A primordial beast had already transcended the conventional concept of life, existing above "gods" as a higher-dimensional being with an immortal nature. If such a creature were to fall, its body and essence would normally disperse into heaven and earth, leaving nothing behind. Its enemies would also ensure that every trace was erased, because if even a single drop of blood essence or a fragment of flesh remained, it could one day regenerate and return to life.

Mech No.1 was an example of this, containing the remains of a semi-primordial ancient lifeform that had fallen for unknown reasons. Even after countless years, with only an incomplete heart, it still nearly revived with the help of humanity.

However, there was a chance this primordial beast hadn’t truly perished. It likely dissipated its life essence into the mythical world and scattered its true form to merge with heaven and earth as a final means of revival. This was also to prevent the being that defeated it to pursue and descend upon it. If so, even if the Dragon Emperor forcefully tore its way in, it would still be unable to find the hidden origin or anything else. Only if the primordial beast failed to revive over countless years and completely dispersed could one hope to find a trace or two of its origin within the forbidden zone it had merged into.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Emperor crossed the forbidden zone with the three “little ones” to the fallen land over a million kilometers away. It looked down from over three hundred thousand kilometers above. Below was a vast region, shrouded in white mist, and shaped like a colossal dragon that stretched over two million kilometers. Spacetime had collapsed within this area, and the rolling white mist was filled with violent, destructive power. Rays of light seeped through from the depths of the void, illuminating heaven and earth.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon’s eyes widened in awe.

Even in death, this primordial beast is... terrifying.

Argh! This damn thing is making Saixitia feel unwell.

The Silver Dragon let out a frustrated roar, instinctively drifting toward the Dragon Emperor’s head.

As they drew near, the Golden-Blue and the Silver Dragons both felt a dreadful force suppress their bloodlines. Their power locked in place, and even breathing became difficult. In contrast, the Purple Dragon’s eyes lit up. Surrounded by the scattered principle power, it felt its strength and bloodline surge with unprecedented vitality.

Boom!

Purple thunderbolts flashed across the Purple Dragon's body, and it instinctively returned to its true form of over 1,900 meters.

Eeya! Eeya! Big brother, charge! Little Yi can feel there’s something good inside!

Before the Dragon Emperor could respond, the Purple Dragon let out an excited roar and shot forward in a streak of light, vanishing into the white mist.
