Chapter 1128: The Terrifying Colossal Beast, the City Lord of Chaotic Imperial City (II)

In the distance, a battle at the primordial monarch level reignited. A million-kilometer-long Divine Void Dragon roared as it clashed blow after blow with the saber-wielding ape.

By contrast, the other primordial-overlord-level battlefield seemed far quieter. There, Zixun battled a Nightmare Yu. Primordial principles circled both as they fought steadily across two skies. Both knew clearly that in the current situation, neither could defeat the other.

The Yu’s true aim of shattering the Chaotic Continent had already failed, with Molokes gravely wounded and fleeing, and the End Dragon growing stronger. Their only purpose now was to delay and hold out until the End Dragon’s burst of power burned out. By then, they and the Proth Beast would combine forces. Even if badly wounded, they would strike as one to kill the End Dragon.

As had always been the case, in the eyes of the three primordial beasts, the Dragon Emperor’s battle power rivaling a primordial overlord while only at the late stage of the true spirit level was nothing more than a temporary burst of its life-bound talent. Such an outburst could never last; that was the most basic principle of chaos.

However, while the three beasts were in no hurry, neither were the Divine Dragons or the End Dragon. This region already lay within the domain of the mythical world. The longer the three beasts remained, the harder it would be for them to escape.

Beyond the three colossal battlefields, Zijun, having restored its body to over a hundred thousand kilometers, coiled in the void and let out a weak growl.

This is bad. Too drained. I must rest.

Turning its head, it looked across the battlefield stretching across the Chaotic Continent. In its current state, it couldn’t intervene in a primordial-overlord-level battle, but dealing with Yu at the ancient titan or true spirit level was no issue.

Yet just as it prepared to slaughter those Yu, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from the depths of the chaotic void. At once, the eyes of every beast, including the End Dragon, shifted in alarm.

The Fourth Primordial Heaven. Why is a true-emperor-level beast here?!

Even the two Yu and the Proth froze for a heartbeat before their eyes gleamed with cruelty. They roared savagely,

Zihuang, today you die!

At that instant, however, another aura surged forth, even more powerful than that of the true-emperor-level beast. Endless crimson radiance swept across the battlefield. Meanwhile, the aura of the true-emperor-level beast sped past the battlefield, fleeing at astonishing speed. It was clear that this so-called true emperor beast was running for its life.

Go!

Molokel, who had just roared a threat, bellowed once more. Golden lines burst into brilliance across its body, its entire form turning into pure gold. In an instant, its aura multiplied tenfold.

Boom!

Its twin blades crossed, and a saber light spanning tens of millions of kilometers cleaved through everything. Even Zihuang’s eyes flickered in alarm.

At the same time, the other Yu, as well as the Proth locked in combat with the End Dragon, also unleashed their ultimate moves, seeking to force their opponents back to make their escape. The Proth’s chest suddenly split open, revealing a black eye that occupied half of its torso. From that eye shone a purple-black glow.

A wave of danger immediately enveloped the End Dragon. However, it wasn’t as simple as to fight when one wished, and to flee when one wished.

Roar!

The End Dragon roared, its colossal body radiating dazzling black light, like a true black hole descending upon the void. A massive gravitational force erupted, pulling and rending with unstoppable might. That gravity devoured light and energy alike, crushing space as it compressed and twisted everything.

Against the purple-black beam shot from the Proth’s eye, the End Dragon lunged forward, claws spread wide as it seized the beast and sank fangs into its shoulder.

Boom!

A blazing purple-black halo burst from its chest. With that strike, it pierced through the Chaotic Domain and Indestructible Vajra, shattering its scales. At the same time, the End Dragon’s bite tore apart world layers, ripping through the Proth’s scales and rending away massive chunks of flesh from its shoulder.

The Proth let out a shriek of agony, its claws sweeping outward. Explosive power surged as it hurled the End Dragon back. The End Dragon staggered several steps, forced tens of thousands of kilometers away. The Proth’s eyes gleamed with ferocity, yet it repressed its killing intent and suddenly turned to flee.

However, a savage roar erupted behind it. The End Dragon’s tail blade swept through the chaos, carrying endless darkness and destruction, and struck the beast from behind.

Boom!

Chaos quaked. A severed piece of tail, thousands of kilometers long, drifted in the void. The Proth itself vanished into a hurricane of black wind.

Such speed...

Sensing the aura vanishing billions of kilometers away in the blink of an eye, the End Dragon’s eyes grew solemn.

Meanwhile, as the three beasts fled in explosive bursts of power, a terrifying will swept across the void, covering the battlefield, yet carrying a trace of hesitation. In the end, the unknown colossal beast didn’t approach, and its aura soon faded away.

The million-kilometer-long Zihuang let out a low growl of regret.

Pity. If the great emperor hadn’t been chasing that true-emperor-level beast, these three would never have escaped.

Indeed, a pity.

The End Dragon rumbled. Then its aura plummeted, its massive body shrinking rapidly before the naked eye. Soon, the Dragon Emperor of the End had reverted to its standard form of 610,000 meters.

In its claws it gripped a black severed tail, several times longer than itself. Black lightning leapt across its talons, suppressing the struggling power contained within the tail. As a fragment of a primordial overlord’s true form, that tail contained overwhelming strength, along with a portion of its will. Carelessness would allow it to break free.

While suppressing the tail, the Dragon Emperor’s body continued to grow at a shocking rate. Its muscles bulged, scales expanded, and soon it approached 620,000 meters.

The primordial Yu it had devoured had yet to be fully digested. Though part of its origin had regrettably escaped, the Dragon Emperor knew that once it finished refining the Yu and consumed this severed tail, it would break through to the peak of the true spirit level.

Such a harvest filled the Dragon Emperor with satisfaction. In just over a month outside the chaotic heavens, it had grown from the beginning stage of the true spirit level to the peak. This was a rate of advancement scarcely inferior to its mythical level rise in the past.

Wait, there is still more food.

The Dragon Emperor turned its gaze toward the Chaotic Continent billions of kilometers away. Countless Yu still lingered there. Because of the threat of the primordial-emperor-level beast, the three fleeing beasts had no time to take their subordinate armies, leaving those Yu behind.

The Dragon Emperor roared and, clutching the severed tail, flew toward the Chaotic Continent.

Food. All of it is food.

***

As the primordial beast battles concluded, Chen Chu and Shi Feirou followed the Star River Passage and arrived at the Chaotic Imperial City.

Boom!

The moment Chen Chu stepped out of the passage, appearing on an endless stretch of yellow earth before a colossal black city that spanned heaven and earth, his body suddenly sank. Gravity, a hundred million times stronger than the Blue Planet’s, crashed down on him.

𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Glancing at the footprints pressed dozens of centimeters deep into the earth, Chen Chu’s expression flickered in surprise. "The gravity here is so strong."

Shi Feirou explained, "The world of the Ancient Battlefield is incomplete, its principles fractured and its origin leaking. The environment is harsh, and fully displays the terror of a semi-eternal world."

"It is indeed harsh," Chen Chu nodded, his gaze sweeping across the barren yellow land.

Though such gravity hardly affected his true form, here every object’s density, and every inch of the heavens and earth, was frighteningly solid. A mythical powerhouse who could normally destroy ten thousand kilometers with a single strike probably couldn’t even shatter a hundred kilometers of ground here. All attacks, laws, and principles unleashed were drastically suppressed, as though this place was a divine realm at a higher tier. Compared to this, the mythical world inside an eternal colossal beast, due to its completeness, was relatively normal in gravity, allowing countless beings to dwell within.

As the two spoke, several figures appeared atop the black war city’s gates. In a flash, five beings clad in black battle armor emerged before them. One of them, radiating an ancient aura, bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Jiantian Palace Master."

At the same time, the five turned their gazes toward Chen Chu, shock flashing in their eyes. At that moment, he faintly radiated a terrifying pressure, comparable to a semi-primordial being, leaving them trembling, breathless, weak in the knees.

"This is the new city lord of the Chaotic Imperial City."
