Chapter 1097: Terrifying Roar, Heavenly God Bloodline (II)

Within the immense Dragon Emperor of the End, the chaotic energy instantly transformed into surging power, causing every cell to split and compress madly. Half an hour later, the Dragon Emperor’s body had expanded to more than 328,000 meters, and its aura grew even more terrifying.

Simply by standing in the void, its presence distorted space within a range of a hundred thousand kilometers, forming an independent world. Even time within this warped region slowed, leaving the Silver Colossal Dragon, caught inside, with a disorienting sense of temporal confusion.

Watching the black-and-red beast grow stronger yet again, the Silver Dragon eagerly leaned closer.

Ao Tian, how did it taste?

The Dragon Emperor shook its head.

I ate too quickly to savor anything, but the blue waters held abundant energy.

It was satisfied with the harvest. The black tree hadn’t been a living being, as no principle or law flowed through it, yet its strength had been considerable. Still, the true prize lay in the blue waters, rich with corrosive energy. Once converted into biological power, they amounted to a late-stage true spirit.

Saixitia, keep leading the way. I will devour this entire chaotic void.

The surge of strength stirred even the Dragon Emperor into excitement.

The chaotic void was far too rich in resources. This place was where colossal beasts were truly meant to dwell. At its current pace, the Dragon Emperor felt that by the time they reached the primordial colossal beasts, it could already have advanced to the late stage of the true spirit level, perhaps even the peak.

With its evolutionary ability, bolstered by a divine-transformation-level devouring ability, and with boundless resources in the void, where every substance infused with energy could be consumed and refined, its growth had become nothing short of monstrous.

Charge forward, Ao Tian! Let us slaughter and eat everything together!

The Silver Dragon roared in delight and darted deeper into the void, reckless and fearless.

It cared nothing for whether ahead lay storms of destruction that shredded all, or seas where mighty beasts lurked. With the Dragon Emperor guarding behind, there was no need for fear.

Yet perhaps its short-term luck had run out, or perhaps this stretch of void was simply barren. After more than ten days of wandering, they had found little.

They encountered only three ancient-titan-level beasts, a white ginseng-like plant rooted deep in the void and towering a kilometer high, and a metallic planet ten thousand kilometers wide.

Boom!

A freezing white breath pierced thousands of kilometers, freezing and shattering a three-thousand-meter black beast that had been hiding on a floating island.

The Silver Dragon spread its wings wide and roared proudly.

Wretched creature! To think you would ambush the great Saixitia, you're seeking death!

However, just as it was about to leave, a deep rumble echoed from behind.

Saixitia, we’ve flown long and gained little. This region is barren; there’s no need to waste more time. Eat the Life Lotus Seed here and begin your breakthrough. I will carry you forward.

Behind, turbid currents dispersed, revealing the mountain-sized form of the Dragon Emperor, now 330,000 meters long and exuding immense pressure.

The Silver Dragon shook its head.

Wait a little longer, Ao Tian. The great Saixitia has a feeling that the next time, I will surely find a treasure.

Half a month of meager gains had cooled the Dragon Emperor’s fervor. It resolved instead to seek out the primordial colossal beasts sooner. There, resources would be plentiful. Of course, so too would the danger. That was why it wanted to grow stronger before venturing there.

Gazing at the Silver Dragon’s stubborn insistence, the Dragon Emperor hesitated. Whether to go early or late to confront the primordial colossal beasts required balance.

Roar!

Suddenly, a terrifying roar thundered from the depths of the chaotic void, reverberating across infinite time and space, shaking countless mighty lives.

Even the Dragon Emperor, who had been about to move, whipped its head toward its right front.

There, across the sky of the mythical world and the depths of the void, the fabric of time and space twisted, and a golden sun emerged, blazing with brilliance and emanating a power that suppressed the heavens themselves.

That vast, supreme might set the Dragon Emperor’s blood aflame, driving it to throw back its head and roar in answer.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

At that instant, not only the Dragon Emperor, but countless colossal beasts deep within the chaotic void answered with cries. One after another, stars flared in the depths of space.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Emperor’s breath surged out as scorching shockwaves, burning away the void currents ahead and leaving behind a pitch-black vacuum. Its blazing eyes fixed on the depths of the chaotic void, where a battle had erupted.

The Dragon Emperor roared,

Saixitia, let’s go. Time to fight!

That heaven-shaking roar of the colossal beasts had stirred its bloodlust to the extreme. Whatever the cause, it didn’t matter. First, it would fight. It would find a primordial-level opponent and clash with it head-on. If it could win, it would devour them. If not, then it would deal with it later.

No beast could change the Dragon Emperor’s decision once made. The Silver Dragon, which had originally wanted it to grow stronger before heading into the primordial battlefield, could only nod helplessly.

Alright then, Ao Tian.

The Silver Dragon spread its wings, cutting a silver arc across the void, and landed on the Dragon Emperor’s back, settling between two thick dorsal fins.

Crack!

It swallowed the Life Lotus Seed, then slowly lay down. Waves of tangible blue frost and silver spatial energy poured out, quickly freezing the dorsal fins into crystalline ice, and formed a mountain of ice ten thousand meters tall.

Roar!

With a ferocious cry that shook the void, the Dragon Emperor, bearing this ice mountain, spread its wings. Space and time twisted around it, and in a flash, it shot forth in a beam of black radiance.

Adjusting its course, it raced at full speed, drawing ever closer to the cluster of faint purple stars in the distance. However, the chaotic void brimmed with danger, and even the Dragon Emperor sometimes had to circle wide.

Five days later, it halted. Ahead stretched an endless sea of white flames, covering hundreds of billions of kilometers. Even from tens of billions of kilometers away, the fire radiated peril.

What kind of fire is this!?

The flames released scorching energy that swept across the void. They formed red bands of light that spun outward, warping time and space.

The Dragon Emperor studied the galaxy of the sea of fire, and with a faint shift of its vast body, turned aside. Transforming into a streak of black rainbow light, it bypassed the inferno.

By then, it had already flown extremely far from the mythical world. With the help of several folded leaps through space, the distance surpassed a hundred trillion kilometers, and it was only a fifth of the way toward the primordial colossal beasts' location.

Such was the immensity of the chaotic void. Just to reach a herd of beasts required such distance and time.

Focused on speed, it had no leisure to hunt resources. Along the way, it only snapped up two ancient-titan-level beasts as snacks, and it soon passed the fire sea at rapid speed.

Ahead loomed a vast ocean of void currents, and within it, a colossal city. The moment the Dragon Emperor appeared, a powerful aura erupted from the city, which sprawled for tens of thousands of kilometers and was built of unknown gray stone.

Boom!

A pressure of a peak true spirit burst forth, laced with a primordial bloodline. Golden radiance spread from the city, transforming the heavens into a golden sea. In the midst of it appeared a phantom ten thousand kilometers tall.

It was shaped like a dragon-man, clad in resplendent golden armor. Its legs were thick and clawed, its arms long and sinewy, its head monstrous. Two pairs of sharp golden horns jutted from its skull, and a flowing mane of gold blazed like fire behind it. Its tail, thousands of kilometers long, swept through the void.

That vast phantom stared coldly at the Dragon Emperor. Its deep, thunderous voice shook the void. "This is my territory, beast. Leave at once, or I will suppress you."

As it spoke, figures surged skyward from the ancient city, each exuding mythical-level, titan-level, or ancient-titan-level might.

The Eternal Golden Divine Race.

The Dragon Emperor slowly halted.

The four-horned dragon-man tilted its head, its golden eyes stern. "From your reaction, you seem to know of my race."

The black-and-red beast nodded slightly, then rumbled,

I’ve heard of you. Your race seems to have a so-called Seventh Eternal Heavenly God, and it seems you too possess that heavenly god bloodline. I still lack a bit of energy.

"Courting death!"

Boom!

In an instant, furious roars and explosive thunder shook the void.

Moments later, silence returned. The only change was the absence of the city and the Eternal Golden Divine Race who had dwelled there. Even the peak true spirit with the primordial bloodline had fallen.

At that same moment, across distant time and space, in a magnificent palace overflowing with golden light, a terrible pressure flared. "No! Tigras, the ancient god, its life aura has vanished. It has fallen! Impossible! Tigras was a peak true spirit, and it had awakened the Fifth Eternal Heavenly God bloodline, able to draw upon heavenly god power!"
