Chapter 560: Conquering the Mythical World

The ground trembled under the Thunder Fiery Heavenly Dragon's heavy footsteps, and it approached the Dragon Palace amid the blast of howling winds. From a distance, it could see a group of colossal beasts gathered by the shoreline.

There, the Blue Giant Crab, over a hundred meters long and at the late stage of level 8, was busily carving a massive stone it had hauled from elsewhere.

The stone was being shaped into a dragon statue towering over three hundred meters high and stretching eight hundred meters long. Beside the statue, the red giant Zhulong laid quietly, completely still.

Behind the Blue Crab, in the surrounding seawater, a group of colossal beasts was observing the art that was being created. Among them, the Single-Horned Kun, flapping its fins, stirred up gusts of wind and shockwaves as it voiced its opinion.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! General Crab, I think the claw could be bigger. It would look more imposing that way!

The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle also stuck its head out, nodding as it rumbled.

Roar, roar! I agree. And the tail isn’t long enough. It doesn’t capture Zhulong’s true length.

Several days had passed since these two colossal beasts had been digesting a Dark Molten Divine Fruit each. Now, they had grown to over 220 meters in length and reached the middle stage of level 9.

However, unlike the Heavenly Dragon, which could perfectly absorb and transform energy, their rapid breakthroughs were resource-driven. While their bodies had reached the middle stage of level 9, their auras felt somewhat unstable and hollow.

The Blue Crab hesitated.

Gurgle, gurgle! Should I make it bigger?

Nearby, the Nine-Headed Serpent let out a cacophony of roars as its heads swayed.

Roar, roar, roar! Bigger! Longer! It’ll look better that way!

Gurgle, gurgle! Alright, I’ll make it bigger.

Seeing the consensus, the Blue Crab nodded decisively and didn't dare to disagree.

Clack, clack!

Under its massive, razor-sharp pincers, the already sizable dragon claw was entirely removed. The stone was swiftly re-carved, the changes taking shape at an impressive pace.

Countless stone fragments fell away, and the dragon claw quickly grew larger.

As the Heavenly Dragon strode forward, stirring up fierce winds and shockwaves, the Blue Crab had just completed its carving. Instantly, the gathered colossal beasts cheered enthusiastically.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, you’re out of seclusion! Look at the statue General Crab carved for Zhulong. It's majestic!

Roar, roar! Yeah! Who would’ve thought General Crab had skills like this? Baxia wants one too. We can place it at the Dragon Palace entrance so the other colossal beasts can worship it every day!

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of its mouth.

The statue was... too abstract. The tail, which took up most of the body, coiled wildly in the back, forming three knots. Of the four dragon claws, the two hind ones were bent backward awkwardly, one twisted against the body without a leg to support it.

The two front claws were bizarrely mismatched—one was tiny, while the other was comically oversized, nearly twice as large as the dragon’s head. It seemed the intent was to emphasize the majestic and imposing nature of the larger claw.

As for Zhulong’s head, it was a complete disaster. Its gaping mouth stretched so wide it looked like it might tear all the way to the ears, and its bulging eyes jutted out unnaturally, as though its eyeballs were growing outside its sockets.

The overall concept was clearly aimed to make Zhulong appear more ferocious and powerful. But the execution of this artistic concept was far too abstract!

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dragon had previously forbade this crab from ever carving a statue of itself. It felt deeply relieved by that decision.

At that moment, the Blue Crab excitedly turned to Zhulong, bubbling enthusiastically.

Gurgle, gurgle! My lord, Zhulong, your statue is complete! Take a look. What do you think?

Zhulong, who had been posing for ages, slowly moved and examined the statue. After a moment, it nodded slowly and let out a satisfied low growl.

Roar... Good. Looks strong.

The Kun eagerly chimed in, nodding repeatedly.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! I think it looks really powerful too.

Roar, roar, roar! Amazing! Ghidorah, wants one, too!

Gurgle, gurgle! No problem, King Ghidorah! I’ll bring back a small mountain to start carving for you.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dragon was utterly speechless. For a moment, it began to doubt whether its sense of aesthetics was flawed or if these colossal beasts all had bizarre tastes.

Shaking its head, the Heavenly Dragon let out a roar.

Roar! Zhulong, Big Horn, get ready to depart tomorrow. By the way, where is Saixitia?

Only then did the Heavenly Dragon realize that the Silver Colossal Dragon was nowhere to be seen.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Saixitia went out to declare our territory.

Declare our territory?

The Heavenly Dragon was momentarily confused. What’s left to declare at this point?

At that moment, the Silver Dragon, with a wingspan of over five hundred meters and surrounded by an azure storm, was circling high in the sky over the ocean at near supersonic speed, letting out resounding roars.

Roar, roar! The great Saixitia is the king of the Dragon Palace, the ruler of the seas!

Roar! Rejoice, you insignificant creatures! Rejoice at the privilege of feeling the noble aura of the great Saixitia!

Under the overwhelming pressure of this kingly aura, countless ordinary mutated fish fled in panic, spreading across a thousand kilometers along the Silver Dragon’s flight path.

Seeing the chaos below, the Silver Dragon grew even more excited, roaring louder and louder.

Roar! Baxia, go and bring Saixitia back.

Roar, roar! Yes, Thunder Fiery.

After the Dragon Turtle left to fetch Saixitia, the Heavenly Dragon approached the lava lake. Beside it was a massive black and gold skeleton over a thousand meters long.

This skeleton of a mythical-level colossal beast, previously retrieved by Zhulong, was unimaginably heavy and served as a rare god-level resource.

Whoosh!

The Thunder Fiery Heavenly Dragon took a deep breath, creating a strong vacuum as a dazzling light began to form in its mouth.

After breaking through to the mythical-level, its two top-level abilities—the Destructive True Lightning and the Sky-Scorching Golden Flames—had not yet evolved into laws, but their combined power was now significantly stronger due to its enhanced foundation.

Boom!

A torrent of gold and blue flames erupted from its mouth, enveloping the skeleton and scales. The searing energy flames burned through space itself, creating a chaotic, pitch-black void.

The temperature in the World of Water and Fire instantly soared. In the distance, seawater boiled, sending endless mist skyward to form rolling water vapor that transformed into towering columns of clouds.

Under the devastating power of the flames, which surpassed the power of most laws, the black and gold skeleton began to melt. This process lasted an entire day, while countless colossal beasts nearby watched in awe and reverence.

The massive skeleton over a thousand meters long was ultimately reduced to a black and gold substance about a hundred meters in length. This material, now resembling jade, stayed ablaze. It gleamed like glazed crystal, radiating massive fluctuations of law energy.

By this point, the entire micro-world had transformed into a sea of flames. The ice crystal palace had melted, and vast amounts of material were vaporized by flames that were as powerful as laws. Lava boiled violently, hissing and steaming as it came into contact with seawater.

Around the Heavenly Dragon, the surrounding space distorted under the extreme heat. Overhead, the Silver Dragon, having returned long ago, circled in the sky.

As the flames in the Heavenly Dragon's mouth subsided, it glanced at the golden lava around it and let out a low roar.

Roar!

Saixitia, give it a breath to extinguish the flames.

Roar! Leave it to the great Saixitia.

With a resounding bellow that echoed through the heavens, a pillar of white breath descended from the sky, freezing anything it touched. Soon, half of the boiling lava in the world was sealed in ice.

Amid this frozen landscape, the Heavenly Dragon extended its massive claws, grabbing the extremely heavy mythical-level colossal beast essence with a thunderous motion and storing it away. These materials were precious resources for Chen Chu to enhance his four worlds.

The icy ground shattered as the Silver Dragon landed beside the black and red colossal beast, roaring a question.

Roar! Ao Tian, are we leaving now?

The Heavenly Dragon nodded slightly.

Roar!

It’s about time to depart.

With the oceans unified, its life aura fully transformed, and the essences of several level 9 and mythical-level colossal beast skeletons refined and stored, all matters on the vast Blue Planet had been resolved.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Dragon glanced at the melted ice palace.

Roar! The previous ice palace was too small and no longer fit for our entry and exit. It’s a good thing it’s been taken down. Ghidorah, I’ll leave it to you to rebuild it at ten times the size.

Roar, roar, roar! No problem, Ao Ba. Ghidorah excels at construction!

Ghidorah eagerly nodded without a hint of reluctance. Though a palace ten times the original size would take a long time to build, this was a task personally entrusted to it by Ao Ba.

The Heavenly Dragon gazed over at the Blue Crab, suddenly letting out a low roar.

Roar! General Crab, keep an eye on the ocean for any level 7 or higher mutated shrimp and crab beasts.

Roar! If you find any, recruit them into the Dragon Palace and form an army of shrimps and crabs, with you leading them to patrol the Dragon Palace’s territorial waters.

The Blue Crab’s eyes lit up, and it immediately bubbled with excitement.

Gurgle, gurgle! Yes, my king! I will definitely capture some shrimp beasts to join us.

Internally, it was overwhelmed with emotion. The king finally took notice of it! It was no longer just a gatekeeper—it could now lead an army of mutated beasts. This was too exciting for a crab to handle.

No, once the king departed, it must carve a grand and majestic statue to express its utmost respect.

Feeling that everything was in place, the Heavenly Dragon let out a thunderous roar.

Roar! Set out to conquer the vast world!

Roar! Charge, Ao Tian! The great Saixitia will become the ruler of the vast world!

Under the gaze of all the colossal beasts, the Heavenly Dragon, carrying the Purple Dragon on its head, soared into the sky. Accompanying it were the Silver Dragon, the Kun, and Zhulong.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sea erupted as four colossal beasts, measuring over five hundred meters, three hundred meters, and two hundred meters respectively, ascended into the heavens.

Amid the sonic booms, the four colossal beasts soon reached the skies above Passage One.

Roar! Let’s go!

With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Dragon charged into the blue vortex. The passage trembled violently; the extreme momentum from its entrance made it look like it was more than just a beginning stage mythical colossal beast.
