Chapter 543: Thunder Fiery, The Destructive Heavenly Dragon and the Blood God Arrive (I)

The vortex on the ocean's surface collapsed, and amid the exploding seawater, a figure cloaked in black and crimson soared into the sky.

Boom!

At an altitude of ten thousand meters, the colossal beast's body erupted with countless bolts of black lightning. Under its destructive might, the heavens and earth trembled, as rolling black clouds gathered to shroud an area spanning a hundred kilometers.

Instantly, the ocean darkened. Furious winds at hurricane strength whipped up towering waves over a hundred meters high. Bolts of lightning rained down from the sky, detonating the sea below with roaring explosions, as arcs of electricity danced wildly.

Roar!

The black and red colossal beast threw its head back, unleashing a deafening roar. A ferocious and divine pressure emanated from its form, shaking the very air with waves of draconic power.

In an instant, all marine life within a thousand kilometers froze in fear. Even mutated seabirds flying overhead dropped onto the waves, trembling uncontrollably.

A hundred kilometers away, the Nine-Headed Serpent and Blue Giant Crab patrolling the nearby seas looked on in awe, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they felt the overwhelming, primal pressure of the beast’s bloodline.

Under this aura of innate supremacy, the Serpent thrashed violently in the water, its nine heads twisting and roaring chaotically.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba has awakened! So powerful... so terrifying!

Gurgle! The King grows more invincible!

The Blue Crab trembled with excitement, its eight legs quivering as its massive body collapsed limply on the surface of the water.

The stronger the King became, the better their lives as subordinates. This was evident from their recent rapid growth in power, fueled by consuming rare treasures and quasi-mythical colossal beast flesh—opportunities they couldn’t have dreamed of before.

However, the Blue Crab's way of expressing its excitement was peculiar. Overwhelmed, its limbs went limp, its eyes rolled back, and it began to blow bubbles, shuddering like a creature possessed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderbolts roared within the churning black clouds, their light illuminating the heavens and casting an even more menacing glow over the colossal figure in the sky.

Having completed its fifth evolution, the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor had grown from just over 300 meters to approximately 510 meters in length. Its frame was now even more imposing and majestic.

The beast’s black and crimson scales were crisscrossed with intricate black patterns, with golden light faintly pulsing in the gaps, exuding an aura of indestructibility.

Three rows of dorsal fins, once resembling rugged coral reefs, had transformed into sharp and refined spines, adding harmony to its fearsome form.

Its tail, making up nearly half its body length, remained slender, agile, and lethally sharp—like a two-hundred-meter-long blade, with a pointed tip that gleamed like a spear.

Its head, reminiscent of an eastern dragon but broader and fiercer, bore three pairs of black dragon horns aligned in a striking pattern. These horns pierced the sky, their formidable presence accentuated by a mane of spiny scales flowing down its neck.

On either side of its head, three pairs of red feathery horns extended backward. Their tips were ablaze with golden flames, forming a fiery crown that added a touch of divine majesty to the beast’s feral menace.

Boom!

Just then, the turbulent ocean below exploded, and the Silver Colossal Dragon burst forth, surrounded by a violent storm.

The Silver Dragon had fully absorbed the energy of two top-level Dark Molten Divine Fruits. Stimulated by the life aura radiating from the Dragon Emperor, it had grown to over 220 meters in length.

However, it was furious. It had guarded the Dragon Emperor diligently, only to be blown away the moment it awoke—again.

Roar! Ao Tian! You blew me away again! The great Saixitia is angry—very angry!

Growling in rage, the Silver Dragon lunged at the Dragon Emperor, ignoring the black lightning crackling around it. It clamped its jaws around the Dragon Emperor's massive left claw and bit down with all its might.

Boom!

𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The Silver Dragon’s immense bite force caused sparks to fly as its teeth clashed with the black and crimson scales. The collision unleashed shockwaves and deafening booms.

Roar! That hurts!

The Silver Dragon’s sharp teeth were painfully jarred by the indestructible scales, stoking its anger further.

Still gripping the Dragon Emperor’s left claw, it gnashed its teeth, torn between wanting to bite again and fearing the pain.

The reluctant yet defiant demeanor left the Dragon Emperor speechless. It opened its jaws slightly, flames flickering within, and rumbled a deep, resonant growl.

Roar! Saixitia, that was an accident. The outburst of power was an unintended reaction to my awakening.

In truth, with its current defenses, the Dragon Emperor’s body alone could have severely injured the Silver Dragon if it hadn’t restrained the destructive lightning and Vajra law power coursing through it.

Roar! Really?

The Silver Dragon’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.

The Dragon Emperor nodded slowly.

Roar! Of course. Have I ever lied to you?

Roar! Fine. The great Saixitia forgives you!

With a low growl, the Silver Dragon released its grip and spread its wings, circling the Dragon Emperor with excitement. As it flew, it roared repeatedly, its voice brimming with exhilaration.

Roar! Ao Tian, you're so fierce now! Let's go beat that wretched rock to death. The great Saixitia shall stand on its head and humiliate it thoroughly!

Roar! How dare it chase the great Saixitia? Unforgivable—it must die!

Watching the excited, spiraling Silver Dragon, the Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.

Roar! Saixitia, I've only broken through to the mythical level this time—not ascended to the ranks of the ancient colossal beasts.

The Dragon Emperor felt overwhelmingly powerful, strong enough to tear apart a typical mythical-level colossal beast with ease. However, its power was still limited to defeating beings at the mythical level.

The being across the passage was an ancient titan—a terrifying entity that had already reached the pinnacle of ancient titans. Even in its petrified state, it was far beyond the Dragon Emperor's current ability to challenge.

In truth, without the same-level principle power, it was nearly impossible to contend with such formidable entities, whose massive forms started at dozens of kilometers long.

The petrified state was a form of self-preservation for these ancient creatures, a protective mechanism allowing them to awaken from slumber every few thousand or tens of thousands of years without being dug out.

Meanwhile, in the mythical world, Chen Chu, who had been in seclusion for ten days, slowly opened his eyes.

He remained in his Demon God form, the three-faced, six-armed shadow of a demon god enveloping him. Surrounded by a blood-red aura, his black, ice-cold eyes radiated an aura that was both divine and demonic.

Or rather, due to the gestation of the Profound Yellow Qi around him, Chen Chu’s life stage was nearly indistinguishable from that of a deity or demon.

However, the limited amount of Profound Yellow Qi in this region could only allow his body and soul to innately reverse, falling short of the mythical innate gods and demons who wielded various principles.

Even so, thanks to the evolutionary feedback from the Dragon Emperor, Chen Chu’s physical enhancement and cultivation were just a step away from reaching the late stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm. His aura at this moment was incredibly terrifying.

Furthermore, as most of the yellow energy had been absorbed, the area it covered shrank to a mere hundred meters, resulting in the gravitational force suppressing this zone weakening by over tenfold.

Sensing the changes in his body over this period, Chen Chu willed the attribute page to appear and focused his gaze on the changes in the avatar's data.
