Chapter 469: Natural Disasters, King of the Colossal Beasts (I)

As the darkness faded, the silhouettes of several colossal beasts emerged, each exuding oppressive auras. The mosasaur's eyes nearly bulged out in shock.

Impossible! How can there be so many level 9 colossal beasts with king-level bloodlines?!

After the initial shock, a wave of terror set in.

Before the mosasaur could react, the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor's deep, resonant roar echoed.

Leave a survivor to interrogate!

Unlike when hunting outside, it felt no need to engage with this ordinary middle-stage level 9 colossal beast. After all, what was the point of bringing so many subordinates along?

Of course, this "ordinary" status was relative to the Thunder Emperor; the mosasaur had awakened a king-level bloodline and belonged to a stronger class of beasts.

No sooner had the Dragon Emperor spoken than the Silver Colossal Dragon's eyes lit up. Spreading its wings, it soared into the sky and roared.

Despicable transcendent being! I am the great Saixitia, leader of the Dragon Palace!

At that moment, the world plunged into darkness, enveloping everything in an absolute void. All the colossal beasts lost their senses, including their ability to feel the water around them.

From a high vantage point, one could see a ten-kilometer area on the sea surface shaped like an inverted semicircle of darkness.

In that darkness, a terrifying tail over two thousand meters long, with a diameter of two hundred meters at its thinnest point, stretched across the heavens and earth, resembling a small mountain descending from the sky.

Boom!

The air exploded beneath the tail surrounded by black air currents and compressed the space into a layer of transparent ripples, which then obliterated everything in their path.

Although the mosasaur’s biological perception had vanished, a strong sense of danger from its soul warned it of imminent peril through the innate ability of absolute darkness.

Raaaaghhh!

In a panic, the mosasaur's surrounding domain exploded.

Boom!

The descending tail struck the newly activated domain, destroying it in an instant. The ocean split in two, forming a several-kilometer-long chasm that reached down to a thousand meters below the sea. It also shattered the earth beneath, sending walls of water hundreds of meters high rushing outward.

The ruptured surface of the chasm began to close. The collision of hundreds of millions of tons of seawater caused towering waves to erupt, creating a thunderous and seemingly endless roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

As Light returned, the Single-Horned Kun and its kin, the Blue Giant Crab, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, and the Silver Colossal Dragon stared wide-eyed at what lay ahead.

A red colossal beast over four thousand meters long rapidly shrank, restoring itself to its original form of just over three hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

In that instant, as the darkness dissipated, they all caught a glimpse of the colossal beast they suspected to be the culprit.

Over three thousand meters! It was so large that it seemed as though a mountain hovered nearby, striking fear into their hearts.

Unable to contain its excitement, , the Silver Colossal Dragon exclaimed,

Ao Tian, isn't the Zhulong's ability time-based?!

The Dragon Emperor nodded slightly.

Time is merely one of Zhulong's abilities. It also possesses a top-level innate ability: Day and Night.

In its Night form, its size will increase tenfold, granting it quasi-mythical level strength. In its Day form, it transforms into an elemental colossal beast, rendering it immortal.

The term "immortal" merely meant it could only be killed after being blasted several times. Moreover, despite its increased size, it could only perform physical attacks.

To top it all off, both forms could only be maintained for three minutes before requiring a switch; it couldn't sustain the Night form or the Day form indefinitely.

Even so, the Dragon Turtle and the Single-Horned Kun were left speechless.

Big Horn, Zhulong's innate abilities far exceed yours; your darkness is merely an illusion, and your white domain only amplifies your physical strength tenfold.

The Single-Horned Kun's eyes filled with envy.

How unfair! I wish I could become that powerful too.

The Nine-Headed Serpent Ghidorah was also surprised.

No wonder Ao Ba invited it to join the Dragon Palace—it is quite fearsome. A late-stage level 9 colossal beast with two top-level innate abilities!

Doesn’t that mean its combat power has reached the quasi-mythical level?!

Still, compared to Zhulong, Thunder Fiery is even more monstrous. Zhulong must have suffered immensely when facing it.

The Nine-Headed Serpent had experienced firsthand how the Dragon Emperor invited colossal beasts to join the Dragon Palace. Back then, the Dragon Emperor severely beat it up.

In truth, before the arrival of the Dragon Emperor, Zhulong was the uncrowned king of the Arctic Sea.

However, it had no ambitions for domination, merely occupying the area with the densest concentration of transcendent energy to rest and grow stronger until the emergence of the Dragon Emperor.

Amid the raging sea, the Dragon Emperor let out a low roar.

Baxia, bring that guy up here.

On it!

The Dragon Turtle hurriedly dashed out, its massive form instantly disappearing as it dove down to the chaotic and murky depths of the ocean.

The underwater landscape had transformed, revealing a deep trench several kilometers long. At the bottom of the trench lay the severely injured mosasaur.

The beast's thick blue scales were completely shattered, and its flesh and blood were exploding outward, exposing its blue vertebrae and vaguely writhing innards. It had been utterly devastated.

A single strike alone had grievously wounded it, highlighting the stark difference between quasi-mythical combat power and the standard middle-stage level 9 prowess.

What a tragedy! I’m fortunate to be with Thunder Fiery.

Upon reaching the mosasaur, the Dragon Turtle gripped its mangled shoulders. As domain power entwined around them, it began dragging the colossal beast, which was twice its size, toward the surface.

Water burst into a loud splash as the Dragon Turtle resurfaced with the mosasaur in its clutches.

Seeing the woeful state of the mosasaur, the other colossal beasts, including the Single-Horned Kun, instinctively shrank back.

The Dragon Emperor looked at it coldly.

Do you wish to die today, or would you rather live?

The barely conscious Canglong mosasaur seemed to be too gravely injured to respond.

A black orca approached from behind, squeaking.

Hey, Uncle is asking you a question—do you want to die or not?

The mosasaur’s dazed pupils refocused as it regained some clarity, only to be filled with grief and anger.

It's you! We share no enmity! I even shared two divine fruits with you. Why did you bring so many colossal beasts to attack me?

If it weren't for the numerous colossal beasts surrounding it, the mosasaur would have undoubtedly torn the black orca apart, piece by piece, and chewed its bones.

I-I want to live.

The mosasaur weakly roared with spiritual intent.

The Thunder Emperor nodded.

Very well. Tell me everything you know—the number of colossal beasts in the Kurong Colossal Beast Empire, their strength, territory, and structure.

As soon as the Dragon Emperor finished speaking, the black orca squeaked excitedly.

Hurry up! If you dare lie to us, we’ll bite you to death!

The other colossal beasts instantly fell speechless.

The third son of the Single-Horned Kun seemed to have grown up after breaking through to the king-level bloodline, becoming as shameless as its father.

Not only the Silver Colossal Dragon but even the Single-Horned Kun was bewildered.

Wait, how did you steal my position, you brat?

In comparison, the eldest and middle children seemed much more well behaved.

However, contrary to the Single-Horned Kun’s thoughts, the orca siblings dashed forward in excitement.

Hu Yi squeaked,

Hurry up, or I’ll bite your butt!

Hu Er joined in.

I’m going to bite your belly and your tail!

Hey, you two, stop messing around! I’m helping Uncle with the interrogation here!

Observing the chaotic scene, the Dragon Emperor couldn't help but growl in exasperation.

You three little brats go play somewhere else.

Okay, Uncle!

The three little orcas quickly scattered.

The black-red colossal beast’s icy gaze made the mosasaur hesitate for a moment. However, it soon weakly replied,

I don’t know much. We belong to the outer forces.

The red colossal beast suddenly roared,

Little... Orca... Interesting.

The interrupted mosasaur couldn’t help but be bewildered.

What does not knowing much have to do with the little orca being interesting?

The Dragon Emperor coldly growled,

Ignore it; continue.

The mosasaur, trembling in awe, replied,

In addition to the Black Abyss King, I only know of two or more quasi-mythical adults within the Kurong Empire...
