Chapter 468: Mythical Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor, Dark-Red Thunderbolt (II)

After the Dragon Emperor left with the crystals, the Silver Dragon stepped forward and raised its head proudly as it looked at the ordinary mutated orcas in the water.

Roar! I am the great and noble Saixitia, king of the Dragon Palace, and the future ruler of the ocean.

Roar! Today, you ordinary transcendent creatures should feel honored to have joined the Dragon Palace. Celebrate becoming subordinates of the great Saixitia.

However, at that moment, the Red Beast suddenly snapped out of its daze, eyes widening in shock.

Roar... How... is... this... possible?

... Instantly, the entire scene fell silent.

The interrupted Silver Dragon let out a low exasperated growl.

Roar! This is the newly joined King of Day and Night, Zhulong.

Roar! This one is the Nine-Headed Dragon King, Ghidorah. Over there, the one bearing a shell, is the King of Earth and Destruction, Baxia.

When the Silver Dragon introduced them, Ghidorah and the Dragon Turtle instinctively puffed out their chests, casting proud glances toward the ordinary mutated beasts.

Roar! Over there is the King of Black and White, the Single-Horned Kun. Beside it is the orca general of the Dragon Palace, Horn Hime.

No sooner had the Silver Dragon finished speaking than all the mutated orcas looked in astonishment toward the sea to gaze at the Kun, its horn piercing the heavens as it exuded the aura of a beast nearly at the late stage of level 8.

What?! This is the legendary, incredibly powerful King of Black and White, one of the top five Dragon Kings of the Dragon Palace and the most elite of the orca species?

The gap between their expectations and reality was simply too vast, leaving the mutated orcas momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, Hu San rolled over in the water, loudly squeaking.

Squeak! Following the Great Dragon King Saixitia, we'll feast and live lavishly, with meals every three days!

Squeak! Hail Dragon King Saixitia!

Squeak! Hail to the mighty Dragon King!

Led by the three orcas, the other mutated orcas quickly followed suit, showing respect to the dragon kings by slapping their tails in salute.

As the ice crystal palace grew lively, the Dragon Emperor made its way to the volcano, where molten lava churned and toxic fumes spewed, to avoid detection of the spatial passage.

Meanwhile, inside the cultivation room, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes as a Tianyuan Stone in his hand crumbled to dust.

After a day of cultivation, his aura had grown even more imposing, and the cold, star-like gleam in his eyes carried an air of oppressive authority.

Hum!

As golden-red light flared on Chen Chu’s right arm, silver runes also lit up on the three pairs of red feathery horns on the Dragon Emperor's head.

Golden flames blazed fiercely, forming a fiery crown atop the dragon's head, with a small silver vortex at its center, linking the two locations.

Under the control of the Dragon Emperor, the Life Crystals in its claws floated into the air and passed through the spatial passage, raining down like a shower inside the cultivation room.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two thousand crystals piled up like a small mountain in front of Chen Chu.

Phew!

Exhaling deeply, Chen Chu smiled as he looked at the Life Crystals before him.

As his strength increased, acquiring resources became easier, especially now that the spatial passage between his main body and avatar had been established, allowing them to share resources.

[You have refined high-purity Life Crystals, gaining 3,870 attribute points.]

[You have refined high-purity Life Crystals, gaining 951 attribute points...]

Among these crystals were one level 8 and one level 7, both acquired by the Dragon Emperor from the Arctic Sea, while the rest were mainly level 2, 3, and a few level 4.

After nearly two thousand Life Crystals were fully refined, half an hour had passed, and his attribute points skyrocketed to 38,804.

Almost 40,000 attribute points! Even Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Unfortunately, he was still short of 50,000, the amount needed to enhance a top-level ability directly.

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Chu's gaze landed on his Giantification ability.

The attribute points he'd gained this time were enough to upgrade that ability to top-level. The power boost from this enhancement would likely rival that of upgrading any other ability to top-level.

Moreover, in a few days, the authorities would send him many more Life Crystals. Chen Chu estimated that the resources would be worth tens of thousands of contribution points.

After all, it was King Xie Chen himself who had mobilized these resources; if the amount was too small, not only would Chen Chu be disappointed, but even the king would feel embarrassed.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Chu's mind echoed with a command.

Consume 6,000 attribute points to perform a second-tier enhancement of the Giantification ability to high-level.

As a special ability, Giantification required three times as many points to enhance compared to the others.

In an instant, 6,000 attribute points transformed into a vast stream of enhancement energy, surging through the soul passage and into the Dragon Emperor’s body.

Boom!

A world-shaking aura erupted, causing the entire space to tremble.

Red lightning flashed across the Dragon Emperor's body as the countless ability rune sequences evolved. As it advanced, its body began to swell.

Before long, a colossal beast, 410 meters long and crackling with red lightning, emerged.

Under the oppressive aura, the hundreds-of-meters-tall volcano collapsed, lava erupted, and even the surrounding air twisted, forming black rifts.

The invisible force of destruction expanded, crushing the atmosphere and creating waves of white air currents that roared across the land like a category-10 hurricane, sweeping the heavens and earth.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Feeling the invincible power surging within, the Dragon Emperor couldn’t help but tilt its head back and roar toward the sky, shaking the entire micro-world as though an ancient, unmatched beast had been summoned.

Such a display left all the colossal beasts in the distance stunned, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at the massive creature roaring atop the distant volcano.

Before they could react, however, another explosive surge of enhancement energy erupted within the Dragon Emperor as 30,000 attribute points vanished.

Boom!

Red lightning that shattered the void burst from the Dragon Emperor, covering half of the micro-world and causing the space to continually crumble under its might.

At the center of the dazzling black and red lightning, the Dragon Emperor’s body grew once more, swelling rapidly until a colossal beast over eight hundred meters long emerged, radiating a deep red glow.

In that instant, a terrifying aura erupted, surpassing that of any transcendent being and reigning supreme over all living things.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled. Within a thousand-meter radius of the dark red colossal beast, the ground collapsed, and the violent magma beneath the volcano was suppressed by its overwhelming power, churning madly.

The entire micro-world shook, as if unable to bear its presence.

Further away, the ground lost its gravity, shattering into countless fragments of rock that hovered, mixed with lakes of lava and slowly rotating as red lightning streaked between them.

So fearsome was its aura that even five kilometers away, the sea surged with hundred-meter-tall tsunamis, causing the mutated orcas to cry out in panic.

Everything fell silent.

Under this horrifying pressure, no colossal beast could remain standing. All were forced to the ground by the mythical-level emperor's might, unable to move.

Even the Silver Dragon collapsed to the ground, its limbs weak and its bloodline instinctively overwhelmed with reverence, fear, and submission.

Struggling to lift its head, the Silver Dragon stared with eyes wide in shock at the apocalyptic beast standing in the darkened region, surrounded by black and red lightning and exuding a world-destroying aura.

Roar! The aura of a mythical creature... How is this possible? Isn't Ao Tian only at the middle stage of level 9? How did it suddenly grow so massive!?

Even the Silver Dragon, normally unshakable, was utterly stunned by the sight before it. The Dragon Emperor's might was too terrifying, far surpassing the typical mythical-level colossal beast.

Nearby, the Serpent was writhing on the ground, rubbing its nine heads in excitement.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Gigantification! Ao Ba, the Gigantification ability... comprehension!

In the midst of the towering waves, the Kun trembled with excitement, letting out high-pitched calls.

Squeak! During Saixitia’s slumber, Thunder Fiery comprehended the Gigantification ability from the spine of the Six-Armed Demonic Ape. But back then, it could only grow slightly larger.

Roar! Roar! Thunder Fiery is so insane, so powerful, I love it!

The Dragon Turtle floated on the water, trembling with excitement, its eyes bloodshot.

Amid the raging seawater, the female orca was surrounded by dark currents, gazing in awe at the apocalyptic beast in the distance. The three little orcas instinctively gathered around her, leaping wildly in the water.

The other ordinary mutated orcas had all fainted from the pressure, their massive bodies rolling about in the waves like lifeless corpses.

Even the returning Blue Giant Crab, its eight legs weakened, floated on the sea's surface, its eyes white as it excitedly blew bubbles from its mouth.

As all of the colossal beasts were left in shock, the dark red colossal beast standing at the center of the destruction slightly lowered its head, and a transparent page appeared in the vision of both it and Chen Chu.

[Abilities]

Squeak! Master, Master!

On the surging sea surface, a nearly sixty-meter-long black orca leaped out of the water, splashing waves everywhere while excitedly shouting.

Soon, not far away, a two-hundred-meter-long mosasaur appeared, surfacing and watching the splashing black orca with some impatience.

Roar! Why are you back so soon?

The black orca’s eyes brightened at once, but this time it didn’t swim closer. Instead, it called out happily from a distance.

Squeak! Master, I’ve brought information from the Dragon Palace!

Roar! So fast?

The mosasaur paused, slightly taken aback.

The black orca nodded enthusiastically.

Squeak! Yes, I’ve brought all the information.

As it spoke, a vast area of darkness emerged behind it, covering nearly a kilometer. This was the dark domain created by Horn Hime and the Kun working together.

Soon, the darkness slowly receded, revealing the Kun, the Dragon Turtle, the Silver Dragon over 140 meters long, the nearly 200-meter Serpent, and the even larger Red Beast.

In front of these colossal beasts was the Dragon Emperor, whose body was entwined with dark red patterns. With cold golden pupils, it quietly watched the distant mosasaur.
