Chapter 495: The Revival of the Mountains, the Summoned Crimson Destruction (I)

Under the boundless energy released by the seven divine fruits, the cells within the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor's body multiplied and compressed without end. Flesh continuously derived, scales expanded, and its body swelled larger and larger.

Finally, its form surged to a towering height of 291 meters before stopping.

With its size dramatically increasing and the fundamental boost brought by its breakthrough into the late stage of level 9, the aura emanating from the Dragon Emperor grew even more terrifying, crushing everything around it.

Especially terrifying were the black bolts of lightning flickering on its body, shaking the surrounding void and giving the Silver Colossal Dragon the illusion that the heavens and earth were trembling.

Coupled with the overwhelming pressure that surpassed even that of a sovereign being, the Silver Colossal Dragon felt an instinctual urge of submission from deep within its bloodline. Its four claws trembled, and it let out an excited roar.

Roar! Ao Tian, you're so strong! Hurry, let's go and kill that Black Abyss King. The great Saixitia will stand over its corpse and humiliate it!

Roar! No rush, let me finish a few more bites of meat first.

Whoosh!

Flames spewed from the nostrils of the massive black-and-red beast as its enormous body slammed down onto the ground below. Rocks shattered instantly, and a fierce wind howled through the air.

As the Dragon Emperor's power rampaged unchecked during its breakthrough, the earth shattered under the bombardment of its destructive black lightning, and the mountain peaks collapsed.

The black-and-red claws of the colossal beast flipped over a pile of rocks, pulling out the mangled corpse of an ancient giant lizard. Its ferocious jaws clamped down in one savage bite, tearing through scales and flesh.

While the Dragon Emperor devoured the creature's flesh, the purple dragon egg wedged between the black horns on its head began to tremble slightly, emitting a suction force that absorbed the life aura lingering from its breakthrough.

Immediately, the life force inside the egg intensified. A slender shadow could vaguely be seen swimming within, occasionally producing a faint tapping sound against the eggshell.

It was clear that after repeatedly absorbing the life aura from the Dragon Emperor, the dragon egg was developing rapidly and had reached the point where it was nearly ready to hatch.

The Silver Colossal Dragon approached, gazing curiously at the small purple spot on the Dragon Emperor’s head.

Roar! Ao Tian, that egg is about to crack open.

The Dragon Emperor nodded; it could feel it too.

However, for a creature of this level, even though it seemed the egg was about to hatch, "soon" could mean several months, or even a year. Thinking of this, the Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.

Saixitia, how many years have you been inside an egg?

Creatures like Saixitia, a descendant of mythical dragons, were also born from eggs.

While growling, the Dragon Emperor continued to chew on the flesh of the colossal beast, its ferocious mouth tearing through the crimson meat. Dark-red remnants of blood and flesh dripped from its jaws, making it appear even more savage and menacing.

In the egg.

The Silver Colossal Dragon stood on a nearby rock, thinking for a moment before letting out a low roar.

Roar! Saixitia doesn’t remember, but my mother said I spent over a thousand day-cycles inside the egg.

A day-cycle, in the mythical world of these colossal beasts, referred to the alternation of day and night, which was roughly equivalent to more than a month on the Blue Planet.

With a thousand day-cycles, the Silver Colossal Dragon had already spent over a hundred years inside its egg.

It was no wonder they were mythical creatures; it even took centuries to hatch.

While the Dragon Emperor was unleashing its aura unchecked during its breakthrough, the endless mists deep within the mountain range—stretching over forty kilometers—began to tremble.

The peaks at the forefront of the range quaked as rubble and dust fell away. From within the debris, a massive rift slowly emerged, followed by a deep, terrifying roar with no discernible meaning.

Roar! The heavens...

As the earth trembled, the mountain range, stretching for over forty kilometers, slowly rose to its feet. Instantly, the surrounding landscape was engulfed in a surging wave of energy as the mist churned violently.

Boom!

With one movement of the creature's foot, countless rocks and soil fell away from its body. The ground shattered, and debris exploded thousands of meters into the sky, causing an earth-shaking tremor.

Through the rolling mist, the ancient creature, having just moved for the first time, began to lumber toward the edge of the fog, its steps slow but heavy.

Meanwhile, high above the hellish domain, the Black Abyss King, wreathed in purple flames, circled through the sky for thousands of kilometers, but he found no trace of the Dragon Emperor and its companions.

Roar!

Kartos let out a brutal bellow, his voice infused with the essence of laws, piercing through the endless void.

Instantly, in another direction thousands of kilometers away, the black scales of the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast and two other late-stage level 9 colossal beasts trembled.

The king is summoning.

With a low growl, the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast, covered in sharp black bone spines and once a rival of the Dragon Emperor, stood up. Spreading its domain, it began to fly toward the central region.

...

Inside the room, as Chen Chu, who was immersed in an epiphany state, experienced the Dragon Emperor’s breakthrough, the heavy and terrifying aura around him once again unconsciously spread.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As Chen Chu's body underwent another massive enhancement, a faint dragon’s roar echoed through the void, and the entire small building trembled under the immense pressure filling the heavens and earth.

An Fuqing, who was contemplating a secret scripture on the other side of the street, slowly opened her eyes and turned her gaze toward Chen Chu’s small building, her expression astonished.

Just last night, Chen Chu's aura had surged dramatically, and during this morning’s strength test, he had exhibited the power of the beginning stage of Ninth Heavenly Realm.

Now, only half a day later, his aura is surging again?

Such a terrifying rate of improvement was shocking even to An Fuqing, who prided herself on her exceptional talent.

An Fuqing muttered instinctively, "This guy... feels even more incredible than Xiao Tianyi, who reached the Ninth Heavenly Realm in just a year, and he also cultivates Insightful Eye and Insightful Blade."

However, after speaking, An Fuqing paused slightly and softly murmured, "Xiao Tianyi."

More than ten years ago, that brilliant genius who had shocked the entire cultivation world was the person her mother had asked her to kill before dying—a person who had a blood feud with her family.

Thinking of this, An Fuqing's gaze suddenly grew calm. Her long, jet-black hair swayed without wind as she closed her eyes and sank back into an epiphany state.

Around her, four flying swords hovered, with countless pink, black, azure, and gray threads of sword qi crisscrossing, filling the entire room like a world of swords.

Yet, even though these razor-sharp sword threads were capable of slicing through alloy, they had no effect on the sofa, tea table, or anything else inside the room, displaying terrifying control.
