Chapter 654: Awakening of the Heavenly Tier Colossal Beast, Envoy of the Heavenly Feathered Race (III)

While the kings convened for their meeting, the Little Purple Dragon perched atop the Single-Horned Kun’s head returned to the rift world.

Boom!

The massive Kun plunged into the lake, causing an explosion of water that sent towering waves surging into the sky. Its colossal body stirred up a violent maelstrom as it descended a thousand meters below the surface, where an underwater palace of shells stood proudly.

Inside, a group of mermaid maidens—their delicate skin pale, their forms half-human, half-fish—were joyfully playing. Upon seeing the approaching colossal beast, they immediately halted and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, King of Black and White. Greetings, Lord Yiyi."

At that moment, a strikingly beautiful mermaid with long black hair, known as Lan Ning, swam forward and bowed with reverence. "Your Excellencies, what brings you here?"

Standing atop the Kun, the Purple Dragon waved its tiny claws and chirped excitedly.

Eeya! Eeya! The great Yiyi wants to eat fish!

Lan Ning hesitated, concern flashing across her face. "But, Lord Yiyi, the new batch of Icefish is not yet fully matured. If consumed now, they won’t have enough energy."

Eeya! Eeya! It doesn’t matter. If one isn’t enough, I’ll eat two!

"Understood." Lan Ning nodded. Since the Purple Dragon didn’t mind, she naturally wouldn’t dare to disobey the command.

However, just as she was about to make arrangements, the Purple Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up. It looked up toward the distant surface of the lake, its voice bursting with excitement.

Eeya! Eeya! Big Brother has awakened!

The moment the Purple Dragon finished speaking, an overwhelming aura of terror erupted, shaking the entire rift world.

Boom!

At the center of the lava lake, the area where eight high-level laws had gathered—resembling an egg of primordial chaos—suddenly collapsed. The law-infused radiance dissipated, revealing a colossal beast over 1,030 meters long.

The Heavenly Azure Dragon Emperor, now fully evolved into a heavenly-tier being, had not undergone drastic physical changes. Its powerful form remained enveloped in black-and-red scaled armor, exuding an aura of unparalleled might. Its long tail extended behind it like a whip-blade, sharp and menacing.

A row of mountainous spines stretched from its back all the way to its tail, while blade-like metallic wings, coated in black-red scales, extended from its shoulders and folded neatly behind its back, making it appear even more formidable.

The most significant change lay in its head. Not only had a thick black mane grown between the gaps of its scales, but the three pairs of feathery horns on its sides curved backward like crimson wings.

Additionally, aside from the split black dragon horns at the front, three sharp spiral black horns had grown from either side of its head, forming a crown-like ring.

However, these were only external changes. With every breath the Dragon Emperor took, the entire micro-world resonated in response, stirring massive energy tides.

As the transcendent energy of the rift world surged in waves, the entire environment was undergoing transformation.

At the world’s edges, flames ignited spontaneously, melting rocks and soil into lava. Above the sky, thunderclouds churned, flashing with bolts of lightning.

At that moment, the entire world was being reshaped by the Dragon Emperor, altering its climate to match its presence.

Yet, the Dragon Emperor paid no attention to these changes. Instead, it was silently sensing the eight high-level laws refining its body, as its massive heavenly-tier form continued to evolve.

From its own perception, its body had become akin to a world itself, linked to the chaotic void, continuously absorbing vast amounts of pure energy to grow and evolve.

Of course, this didn't mean that the Dragon Emperor had an actual internal planar world like Chen Chu. Rather, its existence itself was on a level comparable to that of a world.

That was the meaning of a heavenly-tier lifeform—a being whose very essence equated to that of a complete world, existing independently from the heavens and earth.

Even if the Dragon Emperor didn’t plunder god-level resources or hunt god-level colossal beasts, its evolution points would passively increase, and its strength would still grow at an astonishing rate. After merely a few days of slumber, its body size had increased by over thirty meters.

This meant that, under normal conditions, within one or two day-cycles—equivalent to just two days in the concept of mythical colossal beasts—the Dragon Emperor would grow from the middle-stage mythical level to the late stage.

This growth speed was beyond comprehension.

At that very moment, in the meeting room, Chen Chu, who was waiting for the decision, suddenly widened his eyes in astonishment.

Deep within his body, an endless stream of enhancement energy was continuously emerging, subtly but constantly reinforcing his true form. The invisible pressure exuding from his body grew heavier and more overwhelming.

"So this is the change brought by the heavenly tier..."

Sensing the transformation occurring within him, and the sheer power emanating from the Dragon Emperor, Chen Chu slowly let out a breath. Then, he summoned his attribute panel once more.

After completing its transformation, the colossal beast avatar's records had become much more streamlined. All eight high-level laws had successfully converted, with the first three—Destruction, Vajra, and Chaotic Dark Force—progressing to an intermediate stage.

As for its actual combat strength, Chen Chu was uncertain. He would need to find a titan-level colossal beast for a real fight to gauge its power.

At that point, both Chen Chu and the Destructive Dragon Emperor sensed something familiar approaching at high speed. A streak of purple light shot toward it like a comet.

Eeya! Eeya! Big Brother, you’re awake!

A tender, childish voice rang out as the Purple Dragon suddenly flashed into existence before the Dragon Emperor, its eyes brimming with excitement as it gazed into the golden vertical pupils that radiated overwhelming might.

The Dragon Emperor, standing amid an area of thousands of meters of crushed, distorted space, curved its lips into a grinning snarl and let out a deep, rumbling breath.

Roar! Mhmm, I am awake. But Xiao Yi, why does your aura seem so weak?

Its gaze sharpened as it noticed something unusual.

The Purple Dragon immediately puffed up in excitement.

Eeya! Eeya! I went with Saixitia and the others to fight!

Roar! Fight?

The Purple Dragon chirped enthusiastically.

Eeya! Eeya! Big Horn found a huge divine tree, and it had over a hundred top-level fruits...

It then launched into a dramatic retelling of its recent battle expedition, exaggerating its importance while barely mentioning the ferocity of the Silver Dragon and the others. Instead, it proudly boasted about how it had spit out creation energy to heal its allies.

When it finally finished its tale, the Dragon Emperor let out a low growl of surprise.

Roar! Over a hundred top-grade divine fruits?! That many?

Even for the Dragon Emperor, this was an unexpectedly rich harvest.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Thunder Fiery, Thunder Fiery, you’re awake!

The Kun soared toward them, its massive body trembling with visible excitement. Even from a distance, it could sense the immense terror emanating from the Dragon Emperor. Just standing there, it exuded a dominant, oppressive presence that sent shivers through the Kun’s entire being.

Clearly, the Dragon Emperor had become even more powerful after its transformation.

With a deep growl, the Dragon Emperor issued a command.

Roar! Big Horn, lead the way. We’re going to see Saixitia.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Okay!

Without even catching its breath after returning, the Kun immediately turned around and soared out of the rift world once more.

While this was happening, millions of kilometers beyond human territory, a massive golden warship—stretching dozens of kilometers long—was speeding through the void.

Standing at the edge of the battleship, his hands behind his back, was the majestic figure of Heavenly King Xuanwu. His expression was solemn as he gazed down at the rapidly receding mountains and rivers below.

Has Little Yi successfully awakened?

Truthfully, his mission among the alien races was undeniably important—too important for any ordinary heavenly king to undertake. However, there was another reason for his departure.

He had been afraid. Afraid of hearing bad news.

As Yan Ruoyi’s last surviving relative, when she had fallen into slumber, even Xuanwu had struggled to maintain his composure.

He had feared that, if he had remained on the Blue Planet, and then received the news of her failure, he might lose control of himself. Might lose control of his killing intent. Might once again storm into Purgatory Clan territory and unleash massacre upon massacre in blind rage.

Phew! Little Yi will be fine. She has to be.

He exhaled deeply, steadying his emotions.

A tall golden-haired man—standing 1.9 meters tall and radiating a late-stage heavenly king aura—approached.

Golden wings, fully formed from condensed divine light, extended from his back as he spoke in a calm yet commanding tone, his voice resonating through willpower in a foreign language. "Xuanwu, how far are we from your Federation's territory?"

Without turning his head, Heavenly King Xuanwu responded in a low, steady voice. "Three more forbidden zones, and we will reach the Human Federation's territory."
