Chapter 1090: Tearing the Heavens, the Primordial Colossal Beasts (II)

On a black battleship soaring swiftly through the skies, Shi Feitong stared in wonder at the brilliant star above. Within its glow, she could faintly discern the shadow of a colossal beast. "Big Brother Chen, a beast has broken through to the primordial level."

Chen Chu gazed at the ever-more-distant black-and-red star and nodded slowly. "Yes."

***

In the endless void, filled with murky currents, a colossal transparent barrier stretched across like a wall, dividing the void above and below. Then, the lower portion of the barrier began to blur. From it emerged a black-and-red beast nearly two hundred thousand meters long.

Boom!

The instant the Dragon Emperor of the End descended into the chaotic void, the drifting murky currents convulsed, sweeping outward in violent rings that spanned hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

However, at that moment, it also sensed a deep foreboding. Here, no complete space existed. What seemed like darkness was in truth a hive of irregular fragments. These were vast, uneven pieces of broken space, stitched together. Only one-tenth of the void was space at all; the rest was riddled with countless abyssal black holes, leading to places unknown.

The murky currents lingered around the fragments, releasing an aura that dissolved all matter and energy into nothingness. It was a scene much like the forbidden destruction zone where the Ancient Ray-Beast dwelled.

Ao Tian, is this the chaotic heavens?

Standing on the Dragon Emperor’s colossal shoulder, the Silver Dragon scanned its surroundings. The gray-tinted regions filled with destructive currents made it uneasy.

The Dragon Emperor growled,

Yes. This is the chaotic heavens. But this is still a safe zone, the border between the vast world and the Sea of Chaos.

It slowly lowered its gaze. The immense transparent barrier beneath stretched across its entire vision, shrouding the mythical world. From the Dragon Emperor’s height, with a sightline spanning quintillions of kilometers, the barrier still extended endlessly to the farthest reaches of the void, vast beyond imagination. This slumbering colossal beast was of a scale unfathomable, its body spanning light-years.

As the Dragon Emperor marveled at the immensity of the mythical world, atop its head, the Little Purple Dragon, bearer of the Primordial Dragon Pearl, opened its eyes. Its gaze was dazed.

Big Brother, where is this place? Xiao Yi feels so comfortable.

Before the Dragon Emperor could speak, the Silver Dragon perched on its shoulder had already let out a joyful roar.

Xiao Yi, you are awake! This is the chaotic heavens. Ao Tian’s strength became too great after breaking through to the true spirit level, so the vast world expelled it directly.

We’ve already reached the outer heavens? Big Brother is amazing.

The Purple Dragon’s eyes shone with admiration, yet compared to the nearly two-hundred-thousand-kilometer Dragon Emperor, its hundred-meter form was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Gazing at the murky currents surrounding them, the Purple Dragon grew excited.

Big Brother, I’m hungry. Let me eat something first.

Hum!

Light erupted from its body, and in a blaze of radiance, a five-thousand-meter-long Divine Purple Dragon appeared, exuding a titan’s aura.

Roar!

Its draconic cry shook the void. In a streak of purple light, it vanished and reappeared far away, opening its maw toward the murky currents.

Boom!

Within thousands of kilometers, the currents rioted, surging in torrents into its mouth. As it devoured the faint chaos energy, its aura rose at astonishing speed, and the purple glow from its body grew ever brighter, transforming the surroundings into a sea of purple.

Roar!

The purple sea rolled like waves, and within it a colossal phantom of a Divine Purple Dragon emerged. It was majestic and regal as it roared toward the heavens.

Clearly, the Purple Dragon wasn’t merely hungry. The broken Dragon Pearl within it also required chaotic energy. However, that phantom was only a lingering aura from the primordial beast that had fallen, stored within the Dragon Pearl. Stimulated by chaos energy, it had flared briefly.

The phantom collapsed and dispersed, yet its roar stirred mighty beings in the depths of chaos. Far away, several stars flickered faintly. Then dreadful roars echoed through the void, spreading as invisible ripples. The Purple Dragon stopped devouring, its eyes confused as it looked toward the source of the flickering stars.

It raised a claw and pointed.

Big Brother, it feels like someone is calling me.

Calling you?

The Dragon Emperor’s eyes grew grave. It too had glimpsed the faint starlight in the depths of darkness.

The Purple Dragon nodded, its voice tender and uncertain.

Yes, it feels the same as the call from the fallen land before. It's very familiar, very close.

The primordial colossal beasts!

Even the Dragon Emperor was surprised. It had thought that after two primordial beasts had already perished, there would be no others so near. Yet it seemed more remained, and perhaps not just one.

The Dragon Emperor lowly rumbled,

Xiao Yi, do you wish to go?

...I do, but I’m afraid that you may encounter danger.

The Purple Dragon hesitated, worry in its eyes. From the fragmentary inheritance of the Dragon Pearl, it knew that beyond the chaotic heavens was perilous, and the deeper one went, the greater the danger.

However, the Dragon Emperor dismissed its concern.

If you wish to go, then let's go. It is time we faced the primordial beasts.

Boom!

The void quaked as the colossal black-and-red beast surged forward, driving torrents of murky currents as it flew into the depths as if moving through deep seas.

In the chaotic heavens, the colossal beasts and the forces of the divine regions seldom crossed paths. Once they broke through to the primordial level, these beasts would fly of their own accord into the chaotic void, seeking some dreadful battlefield to fight unknown creatures.

In the ancient human race’s records, more than ten primordial beasts had already fallen over the years. Each time one died, it would streak as light across the heavens and descend into the mythical world. The Divine Void Dragon that fell upon the Abyssal Battlefield was one such example.

Such phenomena had long drawn the curiosity of peak races, including the ancient human race, but except for their strongest primordial beings, even higher ups of the divine regions like Shi Feitong did not know the truth.

The Dragon Emperor, on the other hand, understood. Those primordial beasts truly fought another race of powerful creatures, such as the Nightmare Yu Race, which had slain the Divine Void Dragon.

However, as the immense Dragon Emperor pressed ten million kilometers deeper, it slowly halted. Its golden vertical pupils chilled as they stared ahead. There, the murky currents surged more violently, filling millions of kilometers. The moment it appeared, a true-spirit-level aura exploded from within.

Boom!

The currents collapsed, forming a yawning black void tens of thousands of kilometers wide. From within stepped a true-spirit-level colossal beast over five hundred kilometers long, shaped like a two-headed sword dragon. Its body was slender, savage, and hideous, clad in gray, spike-studded scales like a hedgehog. Most striking was the destructive aura cloaking it, and its vicious, murderous gaze. Its life force was fundamentally different from the beasts of the mythical world. This was a ferocious beast born only beyond the chaotic heavens.

So, the chaotic void truly lived up to its name. It has just entered, and already it faced a true-spirit-level monster. A cruel gleam lit the Dragon Emperor’s eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Minutes later, the chaotic void had fallen silent again. The massive black-and-red beast continued onward, flesh and blood dripping from its maw as its claws gripped half of the beast’s shattered corpse. It looked unimaginably savage.
