Chapter 1058: Nightmare Yu and the Dragon Pearl (II)

Little Yi, slow down,

the Divine Transformation Dragon Emperor growled.

It stared at the white mist filled with destructive power, worried that the Little Purple Dragon would run into danger. It let out a deep growl, and vitality exploded from its body in a radiant wave.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook as nine-colored light burst outward. The Dragon Emperor stretched out both claws, the black one carrying the power of destruction and the golden one carrying the power of creation.

Under the black claw, space and time shattered, showing visions of the cosmos collapsing and the heavens breaking apart, all things falling back into chaos. The golden claw glowed with brilliant light, spreading across heaven and earth to reveal an endless starry sky, like the image of a vast world being born.

The light born from the clash of destruction and creation blazed brilliantly, illuminating billions of kilometers in every direction. In that moment, the Dragon Emperor's aura filled the entire region, and the invisible pressure from it pierced through the mythical world, descending upon the newly stabilized solar system.

On the Blue Planet, countless people were still reeling from the earlier phenomenon of the heavens being held up when they were struck again. More than two billion people gazed at the nine-colored radiance lighting up the world and the vague phantom of a colossal beast blotting out the sky. An instinctive fear rose within them, sending an inexplicable chill through their hearts.

Bai Mu’s legs trembled. "What... what is that?"

Xia Youhui gulped. "I don’t know. I just know it’s... unimaginably strong."

"No kidding..."

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor clapped its claws together, and the entire site where the primordial colossal beast had fallen trembled. In the void, the chanting of destruction and creation resounded. Between its claws, light burst forth and spread into a ring of radiance that swept across a million kilometers. Wherever it touched, the white mist vanished, leaving behind a vast black hole, within which the faint outline of a world appeared.

The Dragon Emperor let out a roar, and its massive body, carrying the three dragons, dove into the black hole with a thunderous boom, entering the passage it had forcefully torn into the world.

Boom!

The moment it descended, space shattered, and the starry sky filled with white mist and black flames shook violently. The moment they entered the world, formed from the remains of a primordial beast, the Dragon Emperor, Silver Dragon, and Golden-Blue Dragon all narrowed their eyes.

In the mist-covered starry sky, the broken corpses of colossal Eastern Divine Dragons floated in silence. Their bodies, ranging from several thousand to over hundreds of thousands meters in length, gleamed in shades of azure, blue, red, and other colors. Some had been cut clean in half, others were missing their heads entirely, and some had been torn apart into pieces. Even the weakest among these beasts had the strength of the titan level, with more than a few reaching the ancient titan level.

Even in their shattered state, some of the corpses stretched over a hundred thousand meters. Their broken scales and severed horns still radiated an invisible pressure equal to that of true spirit level beings. It was clear that the battle fought here ages ago had been unimaginably fierce.

Beyond, there were also broken remains of black monstrosities ranging from a thousand to several thousand meters in length. Their upper bodies resembled apes, massive and muscular, with long arms ending in razor-sharp claws half the size of their torsos. Their lower bodies were insect-like, with reverse-jointed legs built for explosive power. Their entire bodies were encased in black, chitin-like armor, giving them the appearance of relentless killing machines.

The remains of these creatures still radiated a dreadful aura, one that made the Silver and Golden-Blue Dragons feel uneasy, even afraid. It was the same feeling as facing a natural enemy.

Perched on top of the Dragon Emperor’s head, the Silver Dragon let out a roar.

Damn it! What kind of monsters can make the great Saixitia feel like this?

The Golden-Blue Dragon looked at the corpses around them and responded,

They must be the underlings of whatever killed the primordial beast. Terrifying.

The Dragon Emperor gave the corpses a cold glance, then shot forward like a thunderbolt. It flew toward a certain point deep in the starry sky, guided by its connection to the Purple Dragon.

Back when the Purple Dragon hatched, it had absorbed the Dragon Emperor’s life force to complete its emergence from the shell. Later on, it cultivated and grew by absorbing the Dragon Emperor’s life aura. Over time, a bond had formed between them, allowing them to vaguely sense each other’s presence.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The white mist churned and black flames faded away wherever the Dragon Emperor passed. The corpses of the colossal beasts crumbled into dust at the slightest touch, like ancient rotting wood that had been left to decay for millions of years.

The Dragon Emperor had flown no more than ten million kilometers when a savage roar shook the starry sky ahead. Black flames erupted across the void, spreading more than a hundred thousand kilometers.

𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

From within the flames emerged a monster a hundred thousand meters tall. Its body seemed to be condensed from the black flames themselves. Its blood-red eyes locked onto the Dragon Emperor, and a terrifying semi-true-spirit aura spread outward, sending chills down the tails of the two colossal dragons as they let out low growls.

Damn it! The great Saixitia hates this aura, and this race.

Bang!

The starry sky collapsed, forming a hole a million kilometers wide. With a slash of the black dragon claw, the monster disintegrated instantly. In front of the Dragon Emperor, such a projection, formed from a fragment of lingering will, was utterly powerless.

However, in the next instant, the Dragon Emperor suddenly raised its head. Its eyes turned cold as it looked toward the heavens, sensing an ominous gaze watching from beyond distant spacetime.

It growled,

Seems like I drew its attention just by erasing its lingering will. Such a powerful primordial creature... I truly want to tear it apart and devour it.

Another growl rumbled from its chest as it forced down its boiling battle will. Now was not the time to venture elsewhere.

Following the faint pull through its connection with the Purple Dragon, the Dragon Emperor pressed on with the others. They occasionally passed through past battlefields littered with more corpses, some still wreathed in black flames that burned across the region.

These black flames were the remnants of another primordial star’s power. They continued to corrode and consume this primordial beast’s inner world, melting everything in their path. Whenever the flames spread beyond ten thousand kilometers, the lingering will within them would take shape, condensing into half-real, half-illusory black monsters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Dragon Emperor destroyed the creatures, one after another. Its overwhelming power shook the starry sky, making the entire primordial world tremble. The stubborn will hidden within the black flames was no match for its power of chaos and was completely erased.

After warping space and crossing nearly tens of billions of kilometers, the Dragon Emperor finally approached the place where it had last sensed the Purple Dragon’s aura, and came to a stop. Ahead, the starry sky had collapsed, and endless black flames burned, covering a span of tens of millions of kilometers. Each time the blazing fire surged, it sent up waves like a towering sea.

Boom!

The moment the Dragon Emperor appeared, the sea of flames roared to life. The endless black flames drew together into a towering figure a thousand kilometers tall, its body sheathed in smooth black armor. In an instant, a true-spirit-level aura swept outward, shaking the very fabric of spacetime.

Staring at the black-and-gold colossal beast over a hundred thousand kilometers long, the monster’s vicious, bloodthirsty eyes flickered. Its cold gaze and will rippled through the starry sky.

I don’t sense the bloodline of the Divine Void Dragon in you. Who are you?

A hint of surprise flickered in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes. Divine Void Dragon... So that was Little Yi’s race. The name alone carried a certain domineering weight.

The black-armored monstrosity’s gaze turned colder and more violent when the Dragon Emperor met it with silence, and a surge of will erupted from its body.

Beast, leave this place at once. Otherwise, you will be deemed an enemy of the Nightmare Yu[1] Race. You'll be torn apart, slain, and end up like this Divine Void Dragon here

.

Before the Dragon Emperor could respond, the Silver Dragon perched on its head let out an enraged roar.

You vile creature! How dare you threaten Ao Tian? Do you want to die?

The true spirit-level monster narrowed its eyes and looked toward the top of the Dragon Emperor’s head. A hint of puzzlement flickered in its gaze.

What are those two creatures? They are so small they look like specks of dust.

Damn you! How dare you ignore the great Saixitia!

The Silver Dragon, sensing the confusion in the monster’s eyes, immediately began stamping its feet in indignation.

And don't forget about the great Thorsafi!

The Golden-Blue Dragon bellowed in turn.

How dare this monster ignore them. This was absolutely... Wait. The two dragons exchanged a glance. Considering they were only at the beginning stage of the titan level, it wasn't strange to be overlooked by a true-spirit-level creature.

Of course, the reason both colossal dragons dared to face the true spirit monster was because they had the Dragon Emperor. As long as it was here, even a true-spirit-level creature would be no match.
