Chapter 494: Ancient Titan Creature, Breakthrough to The Late Stage of Level 9 (II)

In this apocalyptic scene, the ground burned with fire, and the black-red monstrous beast stood firm. The Silver Colossal Dragon circled and roared in the sky, creating a strange, almost beautiful image.

While the Dragon Emperor unleashed mythical-level power, obliterating the late-stage level 9 colossal beast and annihilating the alien city, the Black Abyss King immediately sensed what had happened.

Boom!

The black statue by the lava river trembled as powerful laws erupted. The lava river boiled, forming a colossal magma beast over a thousand meters long.

Roar!

Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, the will of the Black Abyss King descended, and for a moment, it was stunned.

In the distance, it saw the Dragon Emperor, standing in a sea of fire, its body just 270 meters long, exuding the aura of a middle-stage level 9 beast. Circling above was the Silver Colossal Dragon, only just over a hundred meters long.

Roar! It's you!

The Black Abyss King recognized them.

It remembered the extraordinary colossal beast, which possessed quasi-mythical combat strength at the beginning stage of level 9, and the mythical creature's descendant, the Silver Colossal Dragon, which bore the scale of law.

Boom!

The Black Abyss King's roar was met by a golden-purple breath attack that pierced the heavens, instantly destroying the magma beast that could unleash quasi-mythical power.

The breath attack then shot across several kilometers, striking a mountain on the far bank. The thousands-meter-high peak collapsed, sending waves of molten lava spewing out.

The top-level ability, the fusion of the Purple Void Death Toxin, could merge with either the Sky-Scorching Golden Flames or the Destructive True Lightning, unleashing power comparable to the might of laws.

Moreover, the consumption was not as great as previous fusion attacks, allowing the Dragon Emperor to wield mythical-level combat power with ease.

This was the terrifying potential of multiple top-level abilities.

Bang!

As the will projection of the Black Abyss King was destroyed, purple flames exploded across the sky, turning into an invisible shockwave that radiated over a hundred kilometers before dissipating.

There are no traces of other mythical creatures, nor any lingering aura of power—only those two transcendent beings.

At a volcanic crater thousands of kilometers away, a colossal black beast, as large as a mountain peak, revealed terrifying killing intent in its eyes.

Roar! How dare these two transcendent beings invade my territory!

The moment its will projection exploded, it swept the surrounding domain with its power, covering over a hundred kilometers, finding no hidden mythical creatures.

In other words, the enemy it had been so cautious of for so long turned out to be merely two transcendent beasts from that undeveloped world. This realization enraged Kartos.

It felt both the anger of being challenged by beings lower than the mythical level and the humiliation of outsmarting itself with wrong assumptions. It was determined to tear those two beasts apart.

Boom!

In an instant, the volcano erupted, sending a dark red pillar of magma hundreds of meters thick shooting into the sky. At the same time, the hellish domain, spanning over ten thousand kilometers in diameter, trembled as rivers of magma roared.

"Greetings to my god."

All the aliens beneath the volcano knelt, gazing fanatically at the endless purple flames spreading across the sky, where the shadow of a massive figure, as tall as a mountain, loomed within the hellish sea of fire.

Riding the hellfire, the Black Abyss King moved swiftly. At seven times the speed of sound, it crossed thousands of kilometers in less than half an hour.

However, the Dragon Emperor and the Silver Colossal Dragon had long since left, taking all the Dark Molten Divine Fruit with them, along with the carcass of the late-stage level 9 colossal beast they had slain.

Roar!

The Black Abyss King's savage and furious roar shook the heavens as the magma rivers surged violently.

...

After flying over five thousand kilometers out of the hellish domain in one breath, the Dragon Emperor and the Silver Colossal Dragon flew another thousand kilometers before finally stopping.

Boom!

The mountain ridge shattered, and rocks tumbled down as the Dragon Emperor tossed the headless colossal beast carcass onto the ground, its gaze fixed ahead.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and under its light, a boundless fog stretched before them. The wall of fog towered into the clouds, extending to both sides, resembling the fog wall that isolated the human race from the world passages.

Unexpectedly, after flying in a wide circle for thousands of kilometers, they had arrived at the misty region mentioned by the dragon.

Thinking of this, the Dragon Emperor turned its head toward the Silver Colossal Dragon and growled.

Saixitia, do you know what that ancient creature is?

Ancient creature?

The Silver Colossal Dragon tilted its head, pondering for a moment before responding.

Roar! I think my mother once said that these were creatures that failed to ascend to a higher realm and died, turning to stone.

These ancient creatures were once ancient titan-level beings. After they died, their bodies petrified, becoming as massive as mountain ranges, with even the smallest ones stretching tens of thousands of meters.

Due to the residual power of their principles, the rocks that make up their bodies are incredibly hard, impossible to break by ordinary mythical beasts.

Furthermore, the surrounding environment is often affected by their principle power. For example, this fog is likely a result of that ancient creature's power.

However, these creatures rarely move. They might wake up once every few thousand or tens of thousands of years, instinctively moving for a short while before falling back into slumber.

These ancient creatures are also divided into beginning stage, middle stage, and late stage categories. The late-stage ones are the largest but also the most fragile.

Their principle power has mostly dissipated, and they seldom wake. Once the last trace of their principle power fades, they will completely turn into a mountain range.

After the Silver Colossal Dragon finished speaking, a trace of shock appeared in the eyes of the Dragon Emperor.

It hadn't expected that such a terrifying creature existed on the borders of the Black Abyss King's territory.

According to the classification of mythical beasts (kings), mythical titan beasts (heavenly kings), and ancient titan beasts, that ancient creature was already comparable to the supreme powerhouses of the human race.

No wonder, when that terrifying creature emerged from the fog, devouring three late-stage level 9 colossal beasts and over a hundred thousand Scaled Fiery Race aliens, the Black Abyss King didn’t dare utter a single word.

Even in death, such beings weren’t something ordinary mythical beasts could provoke.

Because no such ancient creatures had been found near human territory—or at least no one had encountered them—Chen Chu hadn’t seen any records of them in the mythical world archives.

As expected of the mythical world.

In awe, the Dragon Emperor turned to the Silver Colossal Dragon.

Saixitia, take out all those Dark Molten Divine Fruits.

Roar! Understood.

The Silver Colossal Dragon obediently retrieved dark red fruits from its reverse scale.

There were three that were five meters in size, sixteen that were three meters, and dozens that were one meter in size. Additionally, many one-meter fruits had been destroyed in the explosion of the Black Abyss King's projection.

However, the ordinary fruits that were ruined were of no concern to the Dragon Emperor.

Roar! Saixitia, I'll take two of the big ones, and you take one. For the three-meter ones, I'll take five, and you take five. The rest will be left for Big Horn and the others.

As for the one-meter ones, give them to Hu Yi and the others.

Although this operation was primarily carried out by the Dragon Emperor, Saixitia, as the king of the Dragon Palace and the security escort for this journey into the mythical world, deserved its share.

While this fellow pretended to say it would teach the Black Abyss King a lesson for disregarding it, the Dragon Emperor knew that the Silver Colossal Dragon's true concern was for its safety.

After all, its enemy this time was a mythical colossal beast and a quite powerful one at that.

Roar! No problem.

The Silver Colossal Dragon had no objections to the Dragon Emperor's distribution and felt no need to be polite, gazing happily at the valuable fruits before them.

The three-meter Black Molten Divine Fruits were quite similar to the Heavenly Dragon Fruits it had eaten before.

The five-meter-diameter divine fruit, radiating a brilliant aura, was a treasure that even mythical colossal beasts would benefit from consuming, something its mother rarely allowed it to eat.

Roar! After eating these good things, I will be able to increase my strength again.

The Silver Colossal Dragon happily stored the fruits away.

It wasn't like the Dragon Emperor, which grew in size after eating. For Saixitia, consuming these precious fruits would require several days of sleep.

The Dragon Emperor looked at the seven enormous fruits in its claws. The vast energy emanating from them instinctively urged it to consume, and it cautiously pinched one between its claws.

Compared to the Dragon Emperor's massive claws, over thirty meters wide, the three-meter-diameter fruit resembled a grape as it was gently placed in its mouth and swallowed.

Boom!

Immediately, searing, destructive energy erupted within the Dragon Emperor, causing its cells to crazily split, compress, and expand.

A terrifying, heavy pressure enveloped the area, and the surrounding winds howled as the ground shook.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Emperor's body surged to 273 meters, exhaling a wave of scorching air while its fiery gaze fixated on the remaining Dark Molten Divine Fruits, which it quickly clawed into its mouth.

As the Dragon Emperor swallowed, a violent explosion occurred within, and endless black-red flames erupted from its body, forming towering flames that reached dozens of meters high.

Roar!

The menacing black-red colossal beast howled skyward, producing explosive sound waves that stirred the winds.

Amidst the flames, the Dragon Emperor's body grew at an astonishing speed, expanding until it reached 280 meters, breaking through to the late stage of level 9.

Boom!

Black lightning crackled across the Dragon Emperor's body, and in an instant, a terrifying aura spread that made the very heavens tremble. Mountains crumbled, and the ground shattered.

Surrounding it, circles of white cloud rings formed, creating waves of energy that radiated outward for kilometers.
