Chapter 562: The Colossal Dragon's Gift, Chaotic Region

It's at the peak of mythical titan level! Saixitia has quite a powerful backer.

The invisible yet pervasive principle power saturating the world ahead made even the Heavenly Dragon feel a tinge of surprise. The oppressive force permeated even the heavens and earth.

In its eyes, the entire frozen mountain range before it seemed to rise and fall gently in rhythm with the breaths of the Azure-White Colossal Dragon. It was as if its principles of power had fused heaven and earth into one.

The giant beast had evidently completed its breakthrough and transformation. It was just one step away from entering the ranks of the ancient titans—beings comparable to the supreme.

It was even more formidable than Yan Ruoyi’s backer.

The Silver Colossal Dragon slowed down as they approached the frozen mountain range. Eventually, it stopped entirely, hovering tens of kilometers away in the sky, thousands of meters high.

Saixitia, why did you stop?

the Single-Horned Kun asked.

The Heavenly Dragon growled softly,

You didn’t have to ask, Big Horn. It’s obvious Saixitia is scared it’ll get its butt smacked if it goes over.

The great Saixitia fears nothing!

Saixitia roared.

My wings just stiffened up for a moment. I can't keep flying.

Whoosh!

Just then, a powerful gale howled around them. The tangible force blasted three of the four colossal beasts away. However, the invisible energy around the Heavenly Dragon neutralized and dissipated most of the approaching wind law power. The remaining force barely budged the dragon.

In the mountain range, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon slowly opened its massive eyes, a hint of surprise flashing within.

Meanwhile, the fierce winds swept the Silver Colossal Dragon to the mountain’s peak. Its ferocious expression immediately softened.

Thankfully, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon merely glanced at it, not bothering to reprimand it. Opening its enormous maw slightly, it let out a low, earth-shaking growl.

Had fun playing out there?

The Silver Colossal Dragon turned smug.

The great Saixitia wasn’t just playing around but conquering territories!

I am invincible! I established an empire called the Dragon Palace in an undeveloped world, uniting the seas and becoming an overlord!

Not only that, but I also destroyed two mythical colossal beast empires, wiped out an entire civilization, and left rivers of blood in my wake!

The Silver Colossal Dragon then burst into a series of triumphant roars, flapping its wings like a child showing off accomplishments to an elder.

While the Silver Colossal Dragon was boasting, the Single-Horned Kun and Zhulong crouched nearby, motionless. Their eyes were filled with tension and awe.

They had no choice—the Azure-White Colossal Dragon was simply too terrifying. Its immense size aside, the oppressive aura it exuded felt like the collapse of the heavens and earth.

Even its mere presence inspired primal fear and reverence. Not even Zhulong, which had touched upon the laws of time, was exempt.

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon turned its gaze to the Silver Colossal Dragon, which was still proudly wagging its tail and flaunting its achievements.

When did your bloodline evolve?

From its perspective, the Silver Colossal Dragon’s bloodline aura had become purer after just a few day-cycles. From the level of an ordinary king, it had elevated to a top-level king.

In this vast world, mythical-level descendants inherited a portion of their parent’s bloodline and strength, gaining a direct inheritance of power. However, that made it difficult for mythical-level beings to have offspring; it was not uncommon for them to have no offspring even after thousands of years.

Moreover, due to the incomplete nature of the inheritance, their descendants’ bloodlines would often degrade by a level. If the parents were king level, the offspring usually wouldn’t be born as strong.

Hence, the Silver Colossal Dragon initially only had a peak lord-level bloodline. However, it later obtained an innate spatial rune by chance and mastered a top-level spatial ability, raising its bloodline to king level.

But now, after venturing to the undeveloped world for just a few day-cycles, the little one had not only advanced from level 8 to middle-stage level 9 but also further refined its bloodline.

Pondering this, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon turned its attention to the approaching black-and-red colossal beast.

With the Heavenly Dragon’s breakthrough into mythical level, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon could no longer discern its life- engraving wheel. Even so, it couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Two high-level law fluctuations emanate from it, accompanied by a bloodline aura so oppressive that even I can feel its suppression. It has reached the emperor level!

And on its head... that tiny little one...

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon’s deep, resonant voice echoed across the heavens.

Greetings, Little One. I am Empress Adrienna Christine, the ruler of this realm.

𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The Heavenly Dragon responded politely with a low growl.

Greetings, Lord of Frost and Destruction. I am Ao Batian, a dragon king of the Dragon Palace. I am also known as Thunder Fiery Dragon King Ao Tian, but you may simply call me Ao Tian.

Though Adrienna’s voice carried an overwhelming oppressive might, her tone remained gentle.

There's no need for such formality, Little One. You may treat me as an ordinary elder. Thank you for taking care of Saixitia.

The blue-white colossal dragon was well aware of her daughter’s tendencies. Without Ao Tian, who knew what trouble Saixitia could have fallen into.

Not at all. Saixitia is incredibly capable and has been of great assistance,

the Heavenly Dragon replied courteously.

Saixitia's tail swayed proudly as it let out an eager roar.

See, Mother? Even Ao Tian agrees that the great Saixitia is remarkable!

Adrienna glanced at Saixitia but chose chose not to dignify its antics with a response. Instead, it continued its conversation with the Heavenly Dragon.

I invited you here as a guest primarily to express my gratitude for taking care of Saixitia.

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon contemplated for a moment. After shuddering slightly, it stretched out one of its enormous claws and made a slight grasping motion toward the distant horizon.

Boom!

A mountain peak, thousands of meters tall and over a dozen kilometers away, was obliterated by the terrifying power of its principles. The surrounding space shattered as well.

Right after, the overwhelming force compressed the peak and the adjacent space into a black crystalline sphere about a meter in diameter.

Inside, countless ice crystals swirled amidst a black storm, each radiating an enigmatic aura that seemed to embody some profound energy.

When the Single-Horned Kun and Zhulong curiously gazed at the black storm, they immediately felt a deafening roar within their minds. Their consciousness reeled, the shock nearly making them faint.

Sealed within this crystal is the complete process of a principle's transformation. While my principle differs from the powers you wield, when you reach late-stage mythical titan level, this can serve as a catalyst to trigger the evolution of your perfected law into a unique principle of your own.

Though the Heavenly Dragon was only at beginning-stage mythical level, its extraordinary talent—manifested in reaching this stage in less than ten day-cycles—made the Azure-White Colossal Dragon believe it wouldn’t take long for it to ascend to titan level.

From what the Azure-White Colossal Dragon had gathered, a day-cycle in this vast world was equivalent to ten Blue Planet days—a truly astounding timeframe.

T-This is too valuable,

the Heavenly Dragon replied, though its claws had already reached out to seize the black crystal containing the fragment of principle power, quickly stowing it in its storage space.

The crystal was an unparalleled treasure, comparable to a resource of the law’s tier. There was no way the Heavenly Dragon would decline such a gift.

When creatures advanced to late-stage mythical titan level, their laws merged into perfection. After that, it would evolve into a unique principle. However, this step had stopped the growth of many peak mythical titans for countless years—including the great demon kings of the Purgatory Demon Clan and supreme-level human warriors.

Of course, the black crystal that the Azure-White Colossal Dragon had given the Heavenly Dragon was merely a catalyst; it wouldn’t directly grant mastery of a principle.

Moreover, forming the crystal clearly came at a significant cost to the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, as evidenced by its slightly weakened aura.

After regaining its composure, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon turned to the Silver Colossal Dragon.

Saixitia, what are your plans now? Will you be staying here?

It growled softly.

The Silver Colossal Dragon roared exuberantly,

Of course not! Home is too boring. The great Saixitia is going out to dominate the vast world!

I knew it...

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon's eyes twitched. Deciding to ignore its daughter’s reply, it shifted its gaze to the Heavenly Dragon.

The black-and-red colossal beast pondered for a moment before letting out a low growl.

This land belongs to you, Your Highness. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to remain here. It’s better for us to claim our own territory.

On that note, Your Highness, I would like to ask for your advice on which direction in this vast expanse has fewer powerful mythical beings and relatively abundant resources?

After some thought, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon replied,

the vast world is immense, but the resource-rich territories around here have already been claimed. I have three mythical-level subordinates guarding the outskirts of my central domain.

Heading south leads to Kaldina’s territory. She is a late-stage mythical titan. She rules over a vast area and has four mythical beasts under her command.

To the east, beyond the River of Darkness, lies the territory of a middle-stage mythical titan. You’re not yet strong enough to confront it.

To the far north lies a region shrouded in mist, inhabited by an ancient creature.

Beings like it are exceedingly dangerous, awakening periodically to devour life forms and replenish their slumbering strength. Only ancient titans can hope to harm it.

The information made the Heavenly Dragon’s eyes glimmer subtly.

Clearly, the mist-shrouded northern territory belonged to the ancient creature, and beyond that lay the dominion of the Black Abyss King.

Though the four passages were only a few thousand kilometers apart on the Blue Planet, in the mythical world, they were tens to hundreds of millions of kilometers apart.

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon added,

I suggest you head west, pass through the southwestern edge of Kaldina’s territory, and enter the Chaotic Region.

The Heavenly Dragon’s eyes reflected a hint of curiosity.

Chaotic Region?

That place was formed when an incomparably massive world was devoured and shattered by the vast world. The laws and principles of heaven and earth are in disarray there.

Because the destroyed world was so enormous, its collapse pierced through endless voids, summoning chaotic forces. Hence, although the area is exceedingly dangerous, it also contains countless rare treasures.

That’s actually where I obtained Saixitia’s innate spatial rune.

Puzzled the Silver colossal Dragon asked, Didn’t I find

my innate spatial rune myself?

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon glanced at its silly daughter before continuing,

I’ll inform Kaldina to gift you a piece of territory on the edge of the Chaotic Region.

You can use that territory as your base as you gradually explore and expand your grounds deeper into the Chaotic Region. The abundant resources there should be enough for you to rapidly increase your strength.

However, many mythical colossal beasts, mythical titans, and powerful civilizations inhabit that area. Be careful. If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, seek help from Kaldina. She will assist you as necessary.

Deep in thought, the Heavenly Dragon gazed to the west.

A fragmented region, much larger than the Black Forbidden Zone? It seems the human territories are also in that direction, though a bit far away.

Although the Heavenly Dragon couldn’t determine the exact distance, it could confirm the direction through its connection with its main body. It could feel that crossing the Chaotic Region would lead right into human territories.

After some time, the Heavenly Dragon reached a decision.

Let’s head to the Chaotic Region.

The Silver Colossal Dragon roared with excitement.

As you wish! The great Saixitia will conquer the Chaotic Region!

The Single-Horned Kun and Zhulong naturally had no objections.

Ever since arriving at the mountain peak, the Little Purple Dragon had been unusually quiet. It remained curled up within the gaps of the Heavenly Dragon’s scales, its little head peeking out curiously at the Azure-White Colossal Dragon.

It was so small that anyone not paying close attention to it would likely miss it entirely.

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon let out a slow growl.

But before you go, I have to strengthen Saixitia. She is still far too weak.

For its silly daughter, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon had long prepared top-level treasures and even law-level resources for rapid growth at every stage.

Compared to the surrounding dangerous forbidden zones and the densely populated human territories, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, which controlled an expanse several times larger than the human territories, possessed far more treasures.

Being adjacent to the resource-rich Chaotic Region, she had accumulated an untold wealth of resources over the years.

The Heavenly Dragon nodded.

Then we’ll wait a bit before departing.

It also needed time to transfer its Life Crystals and colossal beast essences to its main body anyway.

With the Life Crystals currently in its possession, it could at least upgrade one more ability to the divine transformation stage. If it mastered another high-level law by then, its power would grow exponentially.

Saixitia, take them to the Ice Crystal Shrine. I’ve already unlocked the treasury. Every beast may select one gift, including that little one.

The Little Purple Dragon, perched atop the Heavenly Dragon, pointed at itself.

Eeya! Eeya!

The Azure-White Colossal Dragon nodded slightly.

Yes, you too.

Eeya!

The tiny dragon leaped joyfully from the scales and transformed into a purple streak of light spiraling through the air.

The Silver Colossal Dragon also grew excited. It knew just how many treasures its mother’s treasury held, and it was determined to take as many of it as possible.

Let’s go, Ao Tian!
