Chapter 355: King of the Colossal Beasts, Level 9 in Slumber (I)

Under that earth-shattering strike, the two-kilometer-diameter central island was destroyedmpletely, forming a massive ring-shaped crater that rapidly filled with turbulent seawater.

The Black Tortoise stood in the kilometer-wide, dozens-of-meters-deep pit, surrounded by black band-like streams of air and looking somewhat battered.

The mountainous shell on its back had partly shattered, revealing the black crystalline flesh underneath, which was regenerating at a visible rate. Three of the six-hundred-meter-long snake heads had vanished, leaving only half of their bloody remains dangling from its back.

That attack hadmbined two innate abilities with the world’s natural thunderbolt energy. Even the Black Tortoiseuldn't withstand it, suffering significant injuries.

However, as a level 9lossal beast, its vitality was monstrous. The injuries only made it more ferocious and brutal, as it stared intently at the iming Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor.

Roar!

Enraged, the Black Tortoise let out an angry roar, and the surrounding ocean violently surged, withlumns of water shooting skyward.

Under the influence of its icy energy, the water transformed into hundred-meter-long black ice dragons, which charged silently toward the Thunder Emperor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Covered in black energy, the Thunder Emperor didn’t dodge, but instead crashed through dozens of black ice dragons, appearing exceptionally fierce.

Boom!

Around the Black Tortoise, massive sharp black ice spikes rose from the sea like the closing jaws of a titanic beast.

Whoosh!

As the ice prisonvered a kilometer radius, a burst ofld erupted, freezing everything within, including space itself.

In this almost static world, the Thunder Emperor stood upright, surrounded by golden flames that clashed with the Absolute Cold Domain.

The Black Tortoise’s top-level innate ability was capable of freezing everything. Even the Thunder Emperor’s Golden Flames Domain wasmpressed to a tenth of its size.

Seeing the Thunder Emperor's domainntinuously suppressed, the Black Tortoise's eyes turnedld and cruel, with black energy gathering in the mouths of the three remaining snake heads on its back.

Suddenly, the golden flames on the Thunder Emperor retracted, followed by an explosion of endless blue-violet lightning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Thunderbolt Domainllided with the surrounding freezing force, shattering it in all directions.

Amid the destructive lightning, the Thunder Emperor's figure vanished instantly. Three blasts of absoluteld breath froze its afterimage, falling onto the sea a kilometer away to form three patches of black ice, each over a hundred meters in diameter. Everything in those areas was frozen and shattered.

With a sonic boom, the Thunder Emperor appeared above the Black Tortoise, holding a five-meter-diameter blue spiral energy sphere in its right claw, which then struck down.

Boom!

Under the hundredfold power of the strike, the black domain shattered, followed by an explosion of highlympressed thunderbolts, reducing a massive snake head to a bloody mist.

Roar! Roar!

The other two snake heads lunged angrily at the Thunder Emperor, biting through its afterimage and crashing into each other.

Bang!

The pure force of thellision caused the snake heads to scream in agony.

Roar!

The Black Tortoise, having lost another snake head, roared violently, its eyes turning blood-red with rage, while dazzling blue light flashed from its body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The surrounding sea roared as waterlumns shot hundreds of meters into the air, instantly forming a black land and sharp ice pillars.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Thunder Emperor's thunderbolt wings flashed behind it, shattering dozens of black ice pillars as it soared into the sky, then looked down from a thousand meters high.

Below, the Black Tortoise was surrounded by tens of thousands of black ice shards, varying in length from dozens to hundreds of meters and transforming the area into a world of ice pillars.

This Black Tortoise responded quickly. Upon seeing the Thunder Emperor’s terrifying speed, it unleashed its innate ability, freezing the land and sea.

Trying to limit my speed and force me into closembat, are you?

Gazingldly at the increasingly thick frost world below, the Thunder Emperor's eyes were filled with ferocity.

Roar!

With an earth-shaking roar, the Thunder Emperor's wings spread wide, emitting dazzling light as bolts of thunder roared from the clouds to engulf it.

Boom!

In a flash of lightning, the Thunder Emperor descended from the sky like a beam of light.

Boom!

Hundreds of meters of ice crystals shattered. The Black Tortoise roared as the ground cracked, with black and fiery domains clashing and erupting into waves of explosive energy.

Boom!

The earth trembled as pure destructive shockwaves burst forth. The Thunder Emperor was sent flying, smashing through thousands of ice crystals and leaving behind a hundred-meter-wide passage, then crashing hard onto the sea.

In the distance, the Black Tortoise was also in poorndition, with another snake head on its back blasted apart.

Boom!

The sea exploded as the thunderbolt-wrapped beast charged back into the frozen area.

Boom!

Thelossal Black Tortoise, weighing over a million tons, was knocked back, its massive body creating tidal waves as it crashed onto a reef island hundreds of meters away.

The islandllapsed instantly, with rocks and seawater exploding into the sky.

Standing in the center of the frozen area, the Thunder Emperor's eyesldly glared, exuding a fierce and domineering aura.

You thought those ice crystalsuld limit my speed? How naive.

Roar!

With an even angrier roar, the distant ocean surged violently, forming a hundred-meter-high tsunami with the Black Tortoise on top, its shell now shattered even further. Seeing that iceuldn't limit the Thunder Emperor, thelossal beast prepared to unleash a tsunami to drown everything.

Boom!

As the towering tsunami descended, the entire reef island group was submerged, followed by even more intense fighting.

The ocean froze and shattered, ice dragons roared, and bolts of thunderntinuously struck from the sky, causing the water to repeatedly explode, with arcs of lightning leaping around like a thunder pool.

Boom!

The tsunami surrounding the reef island group suddenlyllapsed, retreating in all directions along withuntless mountain-like ice chunks, revealing the shattered island group and the Black Tortoise’s massiverpse. The Thunder Emperor stood beside it, exuding a tyrannical aura.

Huff! Huff!

The Thunder Emperor exhaled hot air in pants as it rvered from the exertion of the battle.

This Black Tortoise had been incredibly powerful. With a single thought, ituld raise a tsunamivering dozens of kilometers, freeze an area a kilometer in radius to absolute zero, and possessed powerful domains and various innate abilities.

Such strength made it stand tall above the ocean, even against peak Ninth Heavenly Realm human powerhouses, whouldn't defeat it and would be exhausted in prolongedmbat.

In front of the Thunder Emperor, however, which possessed four top-level innate abilities, thislossal beast stilluldn't hold out for long and had its head blown off.

Meanwhile, other battlefields were still in action, the fights ongoing. Due to their enormous size, immense energy, and powerful lifeforce,lossal beastsuld engage in battles of the same level for an extended period, even if there was a slight disparity in strength.

It was extremely rare for battles to end quickly like how the Thunder Emperor usually did. Speed, power, defense, and extremely destructive thunderbolts; in such circumstances,lossal beasts weaker than it simplyuldn't withstand the onslaught of attacks.

The Thunder Emperor would also avoid fighting beasts ituldn't defeat, opting instead to flash away dozens of kilometers in an instant. This explosive speed was difficult even for mythical-levellossal beasts to match, except for speed-oriented beasts like the mythical Roc.
