Chapter 399: Black Abyss King and the Real Dragon King Saixitia

As a quasi-mythical colossal beast that had touched the laws, the Sword Armored Colossal Beast could instantly erupt with destructive power more than ten times greater than that of a late stage level 9 beast.

However, invoking the power of laws greatly depleted the colossal beast's ability source. This meant that its explosive power couldn't be maintained for long, and doing so would weaken it quickly. As a result, this power was typically not used; much like the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor's dual ability fusion, the quantity of power was limited.

However, due to the power of laws tempering its physical body and transforming its flesh’s nature over the long term, its body was stronger than that of a late stage level 9 beast.

Once its body was reforged by the power of laws and the ancient aura—the beasts’ version of origin power—it could step into the mythical-level.

When that happened, both its physical strength and its abilities would be blessed by the power of laws, making its every movement incredibly powerful.

This was also why the Thunder Emperor wasn’t afraid of quasi-mythical colossal beasts, because of its formidable physical body and three top-level physical abilities.

Thunder Fiery's transcendent strength from the fusion of Destructive True Lightning and Sky-Scorching Golden Flames, along with its physical strength using the fusion of Strength and Agility, made it just as strong as a colossal beast who had the power of laws.

Since everyone's base attributes were now equal, the following battle would depend on the strength of their abilities and combat experience.

Under the deep sea, two colossal beast forces were confronting each other over two thousand meters apart, their various domain lights illuminating the seabed.

Under the gaze of the massive Sword Dragon, the ordinary colossal beasts, like the Single-Horned Kun, appeared instinctively fearful and awed. It was as if they were young boys looking up to a grown man.

Compared to them, the Silver Colossal Dragon and the Nine-Headed Serpent, which both possessed king-level bloodlines, fared slightly better. To these beasts, they only felt as if the pressure of an invisible mountain was pressing down on them.

This was the power and bloodline suppression displayed from a quasi-mythical colossal beast. The sheer oppressive pressure it passively exuded was already hard for these level 8 colossal beasts to bear.

However, when the Sword Dragon turned its gaze toward the Thunder Emperor, its cold purple eyes gradually showed a hint of solemnity.

It actually felt a faint suppression in its own bloodline.

Just as the Thunder Emperor started to contemplate on unleashing a Thunder Fiery Nuclear Explosion to kick off the attack, the menacing Sword Dragon suddenly let out a deep growl.

Roar! I am the Mythical King Beast, the King of the Kurong Colossal Beast Empire. I am a subordinate of the Giant Dragon, King Kartos Esmond of the Black Abyss. I am the Sword Dragon Taar... Christopher... Bates.

As the Sword Dragon listed off this long string of names, even the Thunder Emperor paused. Ghidorah, the Kun, and other colossal beasts were utterly baffled.

What was it saying? What’s with all those jumbled-up names?

After the Sword Dragon solemnly finished reciting all of the names, it let out a savage roar.

Roar! You, this new emerging force who defeated the Blue Kun. Report your names, and speak with me!

Boom!

The roar of the peak level 9 colossal beast shook the ocean. The eruption of its tangible draconic power caused the surrounding water to explode, creating waves of violent tsunamis that swept across a radius of over a thousand meters.

Surrounded by endless white waves, the Sword Dragon’s might was overwhelming. Its cold, draconic eyes looked into the distance at the Thunder Emperor, waiting for a response.

However, the Thunder Emperor merely glanced at it indifferently, then turned to look at the nearby Silver Dragon.

The other party had introduced itself by both its own name and the name of its colossal beast empire. Such a formal diplomatic exchange naturally fell under the responsibility of the Dragon King of the Dragon Palace.

The Silver Dragon gracefully moved forward and raised its head proudly.

Roar! I am the King of the Colossal Beast Empire, the Dragon Palace. I am the great Saixitia Dainania... Getalos.

Roar! Transcendent colossal beast named Taar, tell the great Saixitia, what is your purpose in seeking us out?

After the roar, the Silver Dragon noticed the astonished gazes of the two colossal beasts opposite it, and a trace of pride flashed in its eyes.

Hmph!

Did you think you were the only cultured dragons around? Unfortunately for you, the great Saixitia is also a dragon with the culture and heritage of a powerful mythical king beast’s empire.

What the Silver Dragon didn’t realize was that the other party’s astonishment came from it being called the king of the Dragon Palace.

The Sword Dragon couldn’t help but let out a deep roar.

Roar! You’re so weak; how could you possibly be the King of the Dragon Palace? What about that creature surrounded by flames?

The Silver Dragon raised its head slightly and roared proudly.

Roar! It is also a king of the Dragon Palace, the Thunder Fiery King. However, the great Saixitia is the Dragon King.

...What’s going on? A single colossal beast empire with two kings?

Taar was utterly confused.

In the Infinite Worlds, there had always been only one king within any established beast empire—the strongest mythical king beast. At least, that was how it was for all the mythical beast factions surrounding their territory.

A single beast empire having two mythical-level kings was impossible. With its control of the power of laws, a mythical beast would never allow another beast of equal standing within its territory.

Even in rare cases where a mythical beast had offspring, they would be driven away once they reached the mythical level themselves.

While the Sword Dragon was still in doubt, Ghidorah let out an excited and chaotic roar.

Roar, roar, roar! And me, Ghidorah, the Nine-Headed Dragon King.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! I am the King of Black and White.

The Kun wasn’t willing to be outdone either, flapping its fins and letting out excited cries.

It felt like it had a strong aura today. After all, the opponents were quasi-mythical beasts from a mythical beast faction, and yet it, the Single-Horned Kun, also had the status to engage in formal dialogue.

However, the Sword Dragon suddenly became furious.

Roar! Are you mocking me? Let that flaming transcendent beast talk to the great Taar.

It wasn't so ridiculous that the early-stage level 9 transcendent creature with nine heads was a king, too. But this creature, which was only at the middle stage of level 8 with a bloodline even lower than the Blue Kun, was also a king?

This was outrageous. How could it also be considered a king in this so-called Dragon Palace? Were they not taking the Sword Dragon seriously?

It was only at this moment that the Thunder Emperor finally spoke, its voice low and resonant.

Roar! Speak, Emissary of the Kurong Empire. What do you want?

The Sword Dragon roared back.

Roar! The Blue Kun was a transcendent creature that my king had taken interest in. It was supposed to pass through the world passage and join the Kurong Empire when it reached level 9.

Roar! But now you, a creature with quasi-mythical potential of the same level, had killed it. This has earned you my king's recognition.

Roar! Now, King Thunder Fiery, you have two choices. Submit to the great Black Abyss King Kartos, or be completely annihilated by me.

When it spoke of complete annihilation, the Sword Dragon’s eyes were filled with a cold, brutal malice.

Although the black and red beast had a strong aura, the difference in their levels was immense. This beast had only just broken through to the beginning stage of level 9, while the Sword Dragon had already comprehended the power of laws and stood at the peak of colossal beasts as a quasi-mythical creature.

There was only a slight sense of threat from the black and red beast, and the other transcendent creatures weren't worth mentioning. Taar was confident it could annihilate them all in a blink of an eye.

Just as the Sword Dragon finished speaking, the Silver Dragon let out an enraged roar.

Roar! To think that you want the great Saixitia to submit—impossible!

Uh... I didn’t say I wanted you to submit?

The Sword Dragon was a bit confused.

Boom!

Suddenly, dazzling golden flames accompanied by thunderclaps erupted from the Thunder Emperor. Instantly, the flames transformed into a Thunder Fiery Domain covering an area of eight hundred meters.

This domain, formed by two top-level abilities, combined with the emperor-level life form’s explosive power to cause the ground to collapse and the water to surge violently.

The unrestrained display of this emperor-level strength shocked both the Sword Dragon and the Dark Python. Fear flashed in their eyes.

The Dark Python cried out in terror.

Roar! Lord Taar, its bloodline level... its bloodline level is even purer and more powerful than the king’s!

Although the bloodline of a transcendent colossal beast didn't directly correlate to its level, in general, creatures with lower bloodlines were inherently weaker, whereas beasts with higher bloodlines were much more powerful. To have a bloodline level higher than that of a mythical beast meant that its power was incredibly terrifying.

The moment its power exploded, the Thunder Emperor roared.

Roar!

Saixitia, Ghidorah, join forces and take down that Dark Python. Leave the Sword Dragon to me.
