Chapter 470: Natural Disasters, King of the Colossal Beasts (II)

Thanks to the mosasaur, the Dragon Emperor gradually gained some understanding of the Kurong Empire.

The mythical colossal beast occupying a vast territory in the opposite world had not only its own subordinates but also other races managing the resources within that territory.

Level 9 colossal beasts and above were regarded as totems by those subordinate races, with the Black Abyss King being the god of the colossal beasts—an unrivaled existence.

However, the top-level colossal beasts from the other side rarely ventured here since the environment was far too barren for them.

On this side, the outer force colossal beasts had awakened their king-level bloodlines and possessed strong abilities that ranked them as transcendent beings among king-level creatures.

In addition to the mosasaur, there was one late-stage level 9 beast, two beginning-stage level 9 beasts, and seven middle to late-stage level 8 beasts that ruled over a thousand-kilometer radius at the center of the passage.

Although they were affiliated with the mythical colossal beasts, their territory was not extensive because it was unnecessary.

Due to their proximity to the passage, their territory was rich in transcendent energy, and high-level resources frequently emerged from spatial rifts.

These resources all belonged to the mosasaur and the others.

The outer force transcendent beings typically had to reach late-stage level 9 before they could enter the vast world on the other side of the passage. The Sword Dragon Colossal Beast simply sent the late-stage level 9 beast to take the place of the slain Dark Python.

Moreover, they had never encountered the Black Abyss King. Only transcendent beings with king-level bloodlines could disturb that mythical colossal beast.

Commands were issued by the quasi-mythical colossal beasts stationed on the other end of the passage.

Their means of communication was a scale from the Black Abyss King. Imbued with the power of the mythical colossal beast’s laws, it enabled cross-dimensional communication with another scale on the opposite side.

Only important matters could warrant the attention of the Black Abyss King, such as the death of a favored king-level colossal beast or the emergence of a new beast with excellent abilities.

If a new king-bloodline beast was discovered in the nearby waters, the Black Abyss King would dispatch a quasi-mythical colossal beast to descend and summon it.

The newcomer would either be killed or submit and join the Kurong Empire, subjecting itself to the Black Abyss King’s control.

Moreover, contacting the Black Abyss King directly was challenging since it required consuming the power of laws contained in the scales. Last time, the Dark Python even had to exhaust its resources. It still had not had the chance to replenish them since.

However, the mosasaur had heard that beneath the deep sea, there were three passages that led to the vast world. Although one was occupied by a mythical-level colossal beast, the other side did not restrict entry or exit. Hence, many level 9 colossal beasts would leave once they reached the middle or late stage.

Three level 9 beasts and seven level 8 beasts? There were quasi-mythical beings guarding the other side of the passage, too.

The mosasaur's confession made the Dragon Emperor pensive.

The mythical colossal beast, along with its subordinates and the resources in its territory, seemed to be dwelling quite far from the passage.

Feeling anxious, the mosasaur watched as the Dragon Emperor nodded.

Very good. You are honest. I can sense that you are not lying, so...

Boom!

In an instant, the Dragon Emperor appeared above the mosasaur. A five-meter-wide golden sun shone in his black-red claws, emitting an intense and destructive heat.

Boom!

The seawater exploded as the golden sphere unleashed a wave of high temperatures, igniting a hundred-meter-high tsunami and a surge of heat that erupted in all directions.

The sudden change caught all the beasts off guard.

Ao Tian, didn’t you say you’d let it go once it finished talking?

the Silver Colossal Dragon questioned.

Before the shattered carcass of the mosasaur, the Dragon Emperor turned, somewhat perplexed.

Saixitia, when did I ever say I would let it go?

I only made it choose between life and death. It chose to live, but what does that have to do with me? I didn’t agree to let it go in exchange for information.

The colossal beasts were stunned.

That... somehow makes sense.

Although the mosasaur had chosen to live, this was merely its personal choice; the Dragon Emperor never stated that it would let the beast go.

Compared to the three level 9 colossal beasts, who seemed a bit confused, the Single-Horned Kun and the Dragon Turtle were not surprised. After all, they had long known the Dragon Emperor.

The mosasaur beast was an enemy sent to spy on the Dragon Palace. How could they possibly let it go?

The eyes of the black orca next to the female orca lit up.

So this is possible. I've learned something new!

The Dragon Emperor growled.

Zhulong, you'll handle that late-stage level 9 colossal beast later, but don’t kill it. Put pressure on it and force it to lure that quasi-mythical colossal beast over. As for the other transcendent colossal beasts, I’ll leave them to you. Kill them if you can; if not, wait for Saixitia or Ghidorah to be free.

The Dragon Emperor then grabbed the carcass of the mosasaur and let out a deep roar.

Boom!

The black-red colossal beast tore through the air. In the blink of an eye, it appeared ten thousand meters in the sky. Behind it, dazzling lightning flashed, forming into a pair of thunderbolt wings that spanned over five hundred meters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blue-black thunderbolts erupted across the sky, forming an invisible electromagnetic field that affected the atmosphere within a twenty-kilometer radius, stirring up wind and gathering clouds.

Saixitia, bring the water up.

Got it!

With an excited roar, the Silver Colossal Dragon shot toward the sky. Azure winds swirled around it, forming dozens of tornadoes.

Boom!

The thick, azure tornadoes whirled down from the sky to the sea, drawing up vast amounts of seawater. The howling winds then ripped the seawater apart, turning it into vapor and spreading it everywhere.

As the moisture in the clouds increased, electric charge gathered and formed thunderbolts. A hurricane vortex spanning dozens of kilometers had been created.

Driven by the vortex, distant dark clouds began to converge, and the thunderstorm vortex grew larger and larger, eventually covering a radius of tens to hundreds of kilometers.

The sky then darkened as thunderbolts continuously struck the ocean, sending seawater flying in all directions.

Adding to the scene were the dozens of towering azure tornadoes, creating an apocalyptic atmosphere.

The combined efforts of the Dragon Emperor and the Silver Colossal Dragon had effectively created a beast-induced natural disaster.

In the sky, the Silver Colossal Dragon felt exhilarated, recalling the moment when the Dragon Emperor had harnessed a storm to kill the Black Tortoise. It couldn’t help but let out a series of excited roars.

Caught up in the atmosphere, the red colossal beast that resembled an eastern dragon spiraled up along with a tornado, appearing beneath the dark clouds. At the same time, a slow, powerful draconic roar echoed across the heavens.

Zhulong, invincible!

The Nine-Headed Serpent, who was in the sea, grew excited as well. spread its red flame domain, enveloping a diameter of six hundred meters, before taking to the skies.

I can fly too!

the Single-Horned Kun on the ocean’s surface enviously watched the three colossal beasts in the sky. It spread its fins, slapping the water excitedly.

I want to fly too! I want to fly!

The black orca leaped in the water with excitement.

Uncle is so strong! Dragon King Saixitia is amazing. Dad is useless—he can’t even fly.

Boom!

The female orca’s massive fin swatted the black orca straight into the sea, causing an explosion of water that startled Hu Yi and Hu Er and made them instinctively back away.

Mom is scary.

The female orca softly said,

Son, you shouldn’t speak like that about your father. He’s already trying his best.

My wife is simply the best.

Touched, the Single-Horned Kun tried to sidle up and rub against her affectionately. However, just as it was about to approach, it stopped awkwardly before the calm gaze of the female orca.

It was only at that moment that the female orca gently added,

Perform well this time.

The Single-Horned Kun nodded confidently.

Don’t worry, my dear. This time I’ll take on ten—no, twenty of them! I’m unstoppable now!

While the orca couple was showing their affection, the Blue Giant Crab, with all eight legs trembling in excitement, floated on the surface and bubbled furiously.

The king is so powerful! So incredibly powerful!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bolts of thunder erupted in the sky, and a bloodied, ferocious dragon head emerged from the dark clouds. Staring down at the colossal beasts below, it roared.

Move out! Kill every last one of them!

The Silver Colossal Dragon also let out an excited roar.

All beasts of the Dragon Palace, charge! The great Saixitia is launching the third war of extermination—kill all the enemies!

High above, three colossal beasts, each over a hundred to more than three hundred meters long, circled in the sky. On the ocean’s surface, seven colossal beasts surged through the waves, advancing with unstoppable momentum.

As the Dragon Emperor rode the storm toward the deep-sea passage, devouring the flesh of colossal beasts in its path, the atmosphere in the ocean monitoring center grew heavy.

"Reporting in! Recent energy scans detected two peak level 9, two beginning-stage level 9, and several faint level 8 fluctuations."

The senior colonel on duty looked grim. "The mutated creature codenamed Thunder Fiery has grown even stronger. It now has another peak level 9 creature with it."

"Judging by their movement, they seem to be heading toward Deep-Sea Passage Three."

"It’s likely related to that quasi-mythical colossal beast that appeared last time. Thunder Fiery is probably going to seek revenge."

"Passage Three is located deep in the ocean, so the aftermath of the battle shouldn’t affect the nearby coasts. Let’s hope it kills some of those level 9 beasts."

One of the communications officers seemed puzzled. "Sir, why are we hoping it kills more level 9 beasts rather than having them all weaken each other?"

"Because it benefits us. Recently, the Intelligence Department discovered numerous mutated creature carcasses on the surface of the ocean near Thunder Fiery’s territory, all with their bodies bitten in half.

"Moreover, there hasn’t been any trace of high-level mutated creatures thousands of kilometers around Thunder Fiery’s domain for a long time. The Intelligence Department suspects that it is extremely bloodthirsty.

"After taking control of a territory, it kills all creatures above level 6 except for the ones that submit to it. It would even eliminate all low-level creatures at times."

Looking at the sinister black-red model of the colossal beast on the big screen, everyone in the monitoring center drew a sharp breath.

"That colossal beast is this vicious!"

"It’s terrifying."

"Such an insatiable thirst for blood."

"Just keep monitoring it. Bloodthirsty or not, as long as it’s heading toward the deep-sea passage, we don’t need to intervene. If it manages to take over Passage Three, a king will eventually come to make a pact with it and warn it not to step onto land or harm humans."
