Chapter 467: Mythical Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor, Dark-Red Thunderbolt (I)

Squeak! Little Hime, hold on just a little longer. We're almost there.

Squeak! Alright, Leader, I will try my best.

Thousands of meters beneath the sea, the pressure was immense, and with the transcendent energy in the water, it was ten times stronger than before. Ordinary mutated creatures couldn't survive here.

Several mutated orcas struggled to swim behind a black orca. Among them was a beautiful female orca at level 4, closely following behind the black orca and using the aura it emanated to resist the water pressure.

Soon, under the black orca's lead, a group of mutated beasts arrived outside the World of Water and Fire. With nervous excitement, they followed closely behind and charged in one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sea surface erupted as over a dozen mutated orcas burst out of the water, only to be stunned by the sight before them.

The vast sea was entirely occupied by orca-like mutated beasts. Not far away, two colossal creatures loomed on the surface—one was a massive Kun over a hundred meters long, the other a Dragon Turtle, both radiating an overwhelming presence.

On the shore stood even more powerful beings: a Silver Colossal Dragon encircled by an azure storm, a Nine-Headed Serpent ablaze with blood-red flames, and a Red Colossal Beast the size of a mountain ridge.

Standing before these three was a black-and-red colossal beast, its very presence exuding a pressure that seemed to warp the space around it.

As the mutated orcas trembled in awe, one of them excitedly rushed forward and cried out.

Squeak! Uncle! Uncle! I have something to report. I’ve discovered an enemy!

The Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor turned its gaze toward the small black orca and rumbled in a deep, powerful voice.

Roar! What enemy?

Squeak! It's a big fool from the colossal beast empire that fought against you, Uncle. It’s a level 9 colossal beast!

The black orca, swelling with pride, continued.

Squeak! That idiot had no idea I’m the general of the Dragon Palace's cavalry and even asked me to gather intelligence for him. I tricked him into giving me two good treasures to eat.

The black orca flapped its fins in excitement, eagerly recounting how it had stayed calm when it encountered the colossal mosasaur and how it gained the creature's trust.

The Single-Horned Kun couldn't help but feel proud. Its son had been smart ever since it was a calf.

Although the way it always declared it wanted to defeat its father left the Kun speechless. The family was small—what was it going to do after winning? Didn’t it know its mother was the one in charge?

The Silver Dragon was equally surprised, looking at the black orca with admiration.

Roar! Who would've thought that the third son of Big Horn's family was so clever that he managed to swindle a treasure from a level 9 colossal beast?

It sighed internally.

I could never pull off something like that. In the past, I had always been tricked by Thorsafi, losing out on all the good food. No matter how many times I tried to fight back, I never won, leaving me constantly frustrated.

But it will be in trouble soon. Once I bring Ao Tian back, I will make sure it gives Thorsafi a good beating. It kept robbing my treasures since we were young after all!

Meanwhile, among the group of mutated orcas, Little Hime, the level 4 female orca, gazed at the black orca with stars in her eyes.

The leader is so brave. Even under the gaze of so many terrifying colossal beasts, it doesn't show the slightest bit of fear.

After the black orca finished speaking, the Dragon Emperor slowly nodded and let out a deep, resonant roar.

Roar! Hu San, you did well this time. I’ll reward you with something extra later.

The black orca's eyes gleamed with excitement as it flipped in the water.

Squeak! Thank you, Uncle!

It knew how generous its uncle was.

The resources in its territory are shared freely with Dad and Turtle Shell Uncle. We even get to eat the flesh of level 9 colossal beasts until we’re stuffed.

Now that Uncle has promised an extra reward, eating that will definitely help me grow faster. I will soon defeat Dad and become the dragon king! Haha!

While the black orca joyfully rolled around, the Dragon Emperor’s eyes remained cold and calm.

It had long expected this. After all, the enemy was led by a mythical colossal beast, commanding a true empire. They weren't native mutated beasts of the Blue Planet.

After the recent conflict, further probing and clashes were inevitable—just as it planned to eliminate the opposition.

It had only been ten days since the end of the last battle, and they had already sent scouts to gather intelligence. Once they figured out the details of the Dragon Palace, they would surely launch an attack.

Of course, their target would undoubtedly be the Dragon Emperor—this freak, only at the beginning stage of level 9 but already capable of defeating the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast.

𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

As the Silver Dragon was a descendant of a mythical beast, the enemy likely wouldn’t go all out against it. Otherwise, provoking the mythical colossal beast backing Saixitia would spell trouble for them too.

Little did they know, however, how fast it was growing.

As it thought of this, the corners of the Dragon Emperor's mouth curled upward, revealing a ferocious grin as it looked at the distant female orca.

Roar! Horn Hime, how’s the crystal collection going this time?

Squeak! My king, this time most of the crystals we collected are level 2 and 3, and the quantity is decent.

As it spoke, the female orca slightly opened its mouth and spat out a three-meter-wide fish bladder bag from its subspace, which was carried to the shore by the currents.

Hu Yi chimed in.

Squeak! Uncle, we’ve collected a lot too!

Hu Er followed.

Squeak! Me too, me too, this time I outdid myself!

Two orcas with fiery patterns on their bodies quickly swam over, picking up the mutated fish air bladder bags from their subordinates' dorsal fins and delivering them to the shore.

Squeak! Little Hime, come over here!

The black orca called out, and the pretty level 4 female orca carefully swam over, allowing Hu San to take the stomach pouch off its back.

Is this little one in love?

The Dragon Emperor's gaze swept over the small orca, then at Hu San, and a strange look flickered in its golden pupils.

The two were vastly different in size—Little Hime was only about twenty meters long and at the peak of level 4, while Hu San was close to sixty meters long.

The size difference wasn’t just three times, but more like several times over, akin to comparing a strong man to an eight-year-old child.

Fuck!

The Dragon Emperor couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Bold play.

After averting its gaze from the two orcas, the Dragon Emperor extended its right claw, carefully pinching one of the small pouches and pouring out its contents—crystals mixed with seawater—onto the shore.

The four bags contained nearly two thousand crystals in total, piling up and sparkling in a blend of white and blue.

The sight made the Silver Dragon feel a little eager, since it had always loved shiny things. Its palace was filled with all kinds of glittering gems and energy crystals.

Looking at the Life Crystals that could convert into more than 30,000 attribute points, the Dragon Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Roar! Not bad.

Collecting this much in just ten days showed that these orcas, under Horn Hime's leadership, had been working diligently. It also reaffirmed the brilliance of its decision to form an orca army.

By leading separate orca squads, their daily harvest was around 3,000 attribute points. This meant that in a month, they could gather 100,000 points.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking; after all, crops needed time to regrow after being harvested.

As for whether this would cause a shortage of high-level mutated sea beasts in the future, the Dragon Emperor didn’t care. Even if there wasn’t a shortage, it would eat enough to cause one anyway.

The Red Beast in the distance looked puzzled and let out a low growl.

Roar... Thunder... Fiery, these... seem... useless, no?

At their level, they had evolved to the peak of transcendence, and the energy crystals inside low-level creatures were nothing more than candy to them.

Even if they consumed a bunch, it would only slightly replenish their life energy without providing any real improvement.

The Silver Dragon boasted with a low growl.

Roar! Zhulong, Ao Tian is different from us. Its ability allows it to absorb crystal energy to enhance its comprehension and boost its abilities, making it stronger.

However, after the Silver Dragon finished speaking, the Red Beast didn’t react much. It simply stood there, staring blankly as if it had been buffering for a while.

The Dragon Emperor turned its gaze toward the Silver Dragon.

Roar! Saixitia, many colossal beasts have gathered today, and there are quite a few new faces. As the leader of the Dragon Palace, it’s up to you to introduce them to the palace.

Roar! As for me, I need to break through, and then I'll take care of those enemies.

Roar! No problem, Ao Tian, go ahead. Leave everything here to the great Saixitia.

The Silver Dragon cheerfully agreed.

Did it matter who was really the Dragon King of the Dragon Palace? It was all the same anyway.
