Chapter 401: An Emergency on the Blue Planet

Just as the two colossal beasts shot out of the sea and continued their battle through the storm, the alarms at the ocean monitoring center started blaring.

"Report! Two energy fluctuations at peak level 9 have been detected within a typhoon 2.3 thousand kilometers east of North Lin. From their movements and energy clashes, it appears the two colossal beasts are engaged in battle."

"A quasi-mythical!"

Instantly, everyone in the center started scrambling. Though there were countless mutated creatures within the ocean, there weren't many level 9 colossal beasts, and quasi-mythical beasts were even rarer.

These creatures, which were just one step away from entering the mythical level, were almost as powerful and destructive as a natural disaster with their unpredictable movements.

Today, the person in charge was a middle-aged major general. Upon hearing the reports, he said in a deep voice, "Closely monitor the beasts’ movement."

It wasn't unusual for a quasi-mythical colossal beast to occasionally appear in the open sea. As long as there was no conflict with humans, the Federation typically didn't intervene.

Previously, when the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor had ventured into the sea, it kept moving toward the open waters, establishing its Dragon Palace over four thousand kilometers from the coast of East Xia.

Now, after traveling over two thousand kilometers to kill colossal beasts like the Blue Kun, it has reached the other side of the Blue Planet’s oceans, near the North Lin Empire and its territory.

Soon, the monitoring personnel shouted gravely.

"Report! The typhoon has deviated from its expected path. It’s accelerating toward the Modoro Coast at a speed of over six hundred kilometers per hour, and is expected to make landfall in two hours.

"The energy fluctuations inside the typhoon are also shifting, likely due to the beasts fighting within it.

"Report! The typhoon’s trajectory has changed again. It’s now moving toward the southeast coast of Tarudos. It's expected to make landfall in an hour and a half—no, wait, its course has deviated again..."

Under satellite surveillance, the rotating vortex clouds moved erratically in the atmosphere, sometimes veering east, sometimes north.

This region of the sea was just over a thousand kilometers from the nearest land. At the speed these two beasts were moving, they could crash into land at any moment. Then, the aftermath of their battle would result in devastating casualties.

"Immediately notify General Agatha at the North Lin East Coast Military Base and General Ye Xiao at the 16th Federation base.

"Have them head to the coast to release their power and intimidate or drive away the beasts. They must not be allowed within three hundred kilometers of the coastline.

"Notify the coastal lines and towns closest to the typhoon to evacuate immediately and prepare for the impact of potential tsunamis."

The explosive power from these colossal beasts were not inferior to a typical nuclear weapon. With them fighting in the ocean, it could easily create a tsunami that would spread far and wide.

At that moment, a newcomer to the ocean monitoring center asked in confusion, "General Eylore, why don’t we ask the stationed king-level cultivators to take action and kill the two beasts?"

The middle-aged major general looked at the new genius and said calmly, "Each king-level cultivator has important duties and cannot be easily disturbed. Moreover, most of the quasi-mythical mutated creatures that have grown in the deep sea are backed by the power of a mythical-level colossal beast.

"Our human kings have agreements with several mythical beasts that control the sea passages. The terms of these agreements state that as long as there are no attacks on humans, we are not to interfere.

"Although several mythical beasts are not really a threat to humanity, and we could eliminate them if we were willing to pay a certain price, there are still more creatures to deal with even if you kill one.

"And if we fail to kill it and allow that mythical creature to escape, that would be even more troublesome.

"In that case, we would need to divert king-level forces for defense, and perhaps even deploy several kings to guard the deep sea. This would result in losses that outweigh the gains. Our forces are not yet strong enough to sustain a two-front war."

As the general explained these guidelines to the new genius and some other personnel, an explosive aura at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm burst forth from the largest military base along the coast of the North Lin Empire.

Boom!

With a sonic boom, a figure shot into the sky, accompanied by a wave of white energy, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in the stratosphere, flying toward the coast at several times the speed of sound.

This was a silver-haired woman with fine silver scales on her face. Her dragon wings spread wide behind her, tearing through the endless clouds and creating a passage.

At the same time, in another military base several thousand kilometers away, another figure radiating an aura of the same level shot through the heavens and earth.

This middle-aged man, wearing blue crystal battle armor, was surrounded by blue sword shadows. He rode on a blue streak of light as he headed toward the coast a thousand kilometers away.

Meanwhile, emergency alarms began to sound along several notified coastlines. Many people who were vacationing, sunbathing, or playing on the beach were stunned.

"Attention, a tsunami caused by a powerful typhoon is forming and will hit in one hour. We are enacting evacuation procedures now.

“Gather your valuable belongings, and take your children and family members to safety. Elderly and children first, law enforcement personnel will maintain traffic order..."

"Mama!"

"Waah..."

In an instant, chaos erupted at many of the beach resorts. Towns near the coast began organizing evacuations, and fishing boats along the coast turned back toward their harbors.

This was the reality of ordinary people in the Transcendence Era. Just the shockwaves from a fight between two peak level 9 colossal beasts one to two thousand kilometers away were enough to make people tense with fear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the dark and stormy seas, chaos reigned. Thunder roared as two colossal beasts fought furiously in the sky.

In the air, the Thunder Emperor’s thunderbolt wings flashed behind it. With every flap, hundreds of thunderbolts descended from the sky, striking the sea and exploding in thunderous blasts as electricity swerved all around.

At the same time, golden light erupted from behind the Thunder Emperor’s feathery horns, leaving a long trail of golden-blue light like a supersonic fighter jet circling the sky.

However, this "fighter jet" was far too large, and at several times the speed of sound, the sonic booms it caused continuously shook the heavens.

In contrast, the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast remained unmoving like a mountain. Around it swirled incredibly sharp bands of golden light, composed of countless tiny metal fragments. Wherever they passed, they ripped open small black rifts in the fabric of space.

At the same time, laser-like beams of energy shot out of the Sword Dragon’s mouth, piercing through the sky and chasing the black and red colossal beast encircled in thunderbolts and fire.

These energy beams occasionally blasted open holes several hundred meters in diameter in the clouds, triggering massive explosions as they struck the sea.

Roar!

Suddenly, a roar erupted. The Thunder Emperor slammed into the Sword Dragon, causing the both of them to crash down into the ocean. Waves hundreds of meters high surged into the air.

Under the Thunder Emperor’s swift and powerful attack, a large area of thick scales on the Sword Dragon's chest shattered, exposing the pale golden flesh beneath.

Boom!

The thick golden dragon tail swept across, and the black light on the Thunder Emperor’s body trembled. This blow sent it flying, shooting out of the sea like a cannonball.

At that moment, a massive golden dragon claw appeared in the sky above, formed by the Sword Dragon’s ability. It carried a dominating power capable of crushing everything as it descended fiercely onto the Thunder Emperor’s sword-like tail.

Bang!

The golden claw suddenly collapsed, while the Thunder Emperor transformed into a golden-blue beam of light, appearing beneath the dark clouds thousands of meters in the sky. Its wings were spread wide as it looked down at the scene below.

The nearly three-hundred-meter-long Sword Dragon loomed over the sea, raising its head to look at the black and red colossal beast in the sky. Fueled with a fierce and murderous aura, it let out a violent roar that caused a sonic boom.

Huff! Huff!

The Thunder Emperor exhaled hot air from its nostrils, its cold and serious gaze fixed on the roaring beast below. The Sword Dragon truly lived up to being a quasi-mythical colossal dragon; its power was immense.

During the battle, it displayed the advanced power of dragon-type creatures and top-tier defense. It also had the ability to use a space attributed golden dragon claw, as well as a domain of fine metal fragments.

Its top-level defense was especially impressive. With a body that had been tempered by the laws of the universe, even the Thunder Emperor's close-range attacks could only shatter some scales and cause minor injuries. For a peak level 9 colossal beast, such injuries could be quickly healed by consuming some energy.

Although both colossal beasts possessed top-level defense, the Thunder Emperor’s defensive structure and strength were very different from its opponent, whose defense mainly used dragon scales as an advantage.

However, up until now, the Thunder Emperor hadn’t used its fusion ability, because such a killer move needed to be used cautiously. If the opponent managed to dodge without being injured, the Thunder Emperor would be at a disadvantage due to excessive energy consumption.

The Thunder Emperor wasn't the only one who thought this way. The Sword Dragon, having fought its way to the peak of level 9, also had the same mindset. This creature had a wealth of battle experience; after all, any beast without such would have died long ago on the path to growth.
