Chapter 657: The Meeting of Kings and the Colossal Beast Carrying the World (III)

The sudden transformation in the atmosphere startled the Silver Colossal Dragon and other colossal beasts. However, when they turned and saw that it was the Destructive Dragon Emperor, the Silver Dragon let out an excited roar.

Roar! Ao Tian, you’re awake!

With a flap of its wings, the five-hundred-meter-long Silver Dragon turned into a streak of silver light, cutting across the sky in an instant before appearing in front of the Dragon Emperor.

Gazing at the Dragon Emperor’s thick black mane and the menacing aura that radiated from it, the Silver Dragon was visibly shocked.

Roar! Ao Tian, your breakthrough has changed you so much this time.

The Dragon Emperor rumbled deeply.

Roar! This time, my improvement has been significant. However, my abilities have now reached their peak—I won’t be going into slumber again anytime soon.

Roar! Ao Tian, does that mean we can finally begin taking over the Chaotic Region?

The Dragon Emperor slowly nodded.

At that, the Silver Dragon roared excitedly.

Roar! The great Saixitia shall dominate the Chaotic Region, bathing the land in the blood of fallen colossal beasts!

Circling around the Dragon Emperor, the Silver Dragon spiraled through the air, as excited as a child who had finally been given permission to unleash its power.

Perched atop the Dragon Emperor’s head, the Little Purple Dragon stood with its claws planted on its hips and let out a high-pitched, childish roar.

Eeya! Eeya! Eeya! The great Yiyi wants to see rivers of blood too!

Just then, from below, a voice rang out—belonging to the Single-Horned Kun still clutched in the Dragon Emperor’s grip.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Thunder Fiery, can you let me go now?

The Dragon Emperor paused for a moment, as if it had nearly forgotten about its captive. Without a word, it loosened its massive claws, releasing the Kun.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon and Zhulong flew over from behind. The Golden-Blue Dragon, its elegant form shimmering with crystalline light, hovered in the air. Its eyes flickered as it looked at the Dragon Emperor, letting out a low growl.

Roar! Thunder Fiery, congratulations on your breakthrough.

The Dragon Emperor gave a slight nod.

After the brief exchange, the Silver Dragon puffed out its chest and let out a proud roar.

Roar! Ao Tian, while you were hibernating, Big Horn and the others discovered this divine tree filled with top-grade fruits.

Roar! But they were too weak to defeat the colossal beast guarding this micro-world. In the end, it was the great Saixitia who personally took it down. The beast was quite strong, so we didn’t kill it. Instead, we accepted it into the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Emperor turned its gaze toward the massive divine tree in the distance, its red halo pulsating across the ruins, and the ferocious colossal beast beside it. A deep, satisfied growl rumbled from its throat.

Roar! Well done. As expected of Saixitia.

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon lifted its tail high and roared happily.

Roar! The great Saixitia has always been powerful! But Thorsafi and Zhulong did well too. If not for their help, even the great Saixitia would have needed half a day to defeat that colossal beast.

The Golden-Blue Dragon couldn’t help but shake its head.

This fellow still loves to brag.

If they hadn’t worked together to restrain the enemy, the Silver Dragon wouldn’t have been able to do anything to it short of using a scale of law.

The Dragon Emperor nodded and growled approvingly.

Roar! You all did well.

With that, the colossal beasts flew toward the divine tree, quickly landing in front of the 1,100-meter-long dark-red colossal beast.

The Silver Dragon let out a deep roar.

Roar! This is one of the dragon kings of the Dragon Palace, Thunder Fiery Dragon King Ao Tian.

The dark-red colossal beast looked at the black-and-red behemoth before it, a trace of awe appearing in its eyes. Even though they were of similar size, it instinctively felt fear due to the vast difference in their life stages.

Lowering its head respectfully, the dark-red colossal beast let out a deep growl.

Roar! Greetings, Thunder Fiery Dragon King.

The Dragon Emperor observed the colossal beast before it—a creature with a lion-like head, large curved horns, wings on its back, and an appearance reminiscent of the legendary Qiongqi.

Roar! Saixitia, what is its name?

Right... What is this guy’s name?

The Silver Dragon hesitated, then turned to the dark-red colossal beast sprawled on the ground.

Roar! Ao Tian is asking you—what’s your name?

The Golden-Blue Dragon and Zhulong also froze for a moment. It seemed they had forgotten about this, too.

The dark-red colossal beast blinked in confusion.

Roar! I... don’t know. I have no name.

As a colossal beast that had grown up in the Chaotic Region, it had never considered philosophical questions like who it was or what its name should be despite having reached the mythical level. It was simply a beast, and beasts did not ponder such things.

No name.

The Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment before letting out a deep growl.

Roar! From today onward, you shall be called Qiongqi, the first mythical general of the Dragon Palace.

This colossal beast had awakened the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast, and its bloodline level had reached king-level, making it quite powerful. It could serve as a high-level enforcer for the Dragon Palace.

Roar! Qiongqi! From today onward, my name is Qiongqi!

The dark-red colossal beast’s eyes gleamed with excitement. As it gazed at the Dragon Emperor, the reverence in its eyes deepened, now mixed with exhilaration.

After casually naming the colossal beast, the Dragon Emperor turned its attention to the crimson divine tree towering above it. In its golden vertical pupils, a surge of azure power emerged.

After completing its heavenly-tier life transformation, the Dragon Emperor had gained more than just a surge in strength—its body now possessed several mystical abilities.

This special azure power that had manifested within it allowed it to link with the heavens and earth. When activated to cover its eyes, it could perceive the essence of all things.

This function bore a striking resemblance to Chen Chu’s own Void Death Pupils in passive ability.

Hum!

As the Dragon Emperor activated the heavenly azure energy, everything in its vision shed their outer illusions, revealing their true forms. The red halo surrounding the divine tree was, in reality, a mighty world power—an independent world of its own.

Beneath it, the tree's seemingly jade-like roots, which appeared to be deeply embedded in the mountain rocks, actually extended far underground, penetrating and absorbing energy from the void itself.

This sight genuinely surprised the Dragon Emperor. No wonder Qiongqi had been unable to approach the divine tree—the tree itself was an independent world, and in fact, the entire micro-world surrounding it was dependent on its existence.

After a long pause, the azure glow in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes slowly faded. It then turned to the Kun beside it.

Roar!

You did well this time, Big Horn.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! What? Thunder Fiery, what did I do?

The Kun looked confused.

The Dragon Emperor's eyes gleamed with amazement.

Roar! This is an extremely valuable divine tree. The top-grade fruits it produces are merely a bonus—its very existence is far more precious, even surpassing law-level resources.

Immediately, the other colossal beasts widened their eyes in shock. Their gazes turned heated as they all looked at the Kun.

This guy’s treasure-seeking ability is too overpowered! Bringing it to the mythical world was the right decision after all.

The Silver Dragon then turned to the Dragon Emperor, letting out a deep growl.

Roar! Ao Tian, do you have a way to accelerate the divine fruits’ ripening? One fruit per day-cycle is too slow—there aren’t enough for all of us!

The Dragon Emperor thought for a moment.

Roar! Accelerating its ripening is simple—just move the tree to a larger micro-world where it can absorb enough energy. Or better yet, we can take it back and plant it in our micro-world.

In truth, the Dragon Emperor had been considering what to do with the divine tree since they discovered it. Should they relocate the Dragon Palace here to guard it? Or assign colossal beasts to stay and wait for its fruits to ripen?

Now, however, that wasn’t necessary at all. Due to the tree's world-type nature, the Dragon Emperor could simply uproot it and replant it elsewhere.

Roar! Let's go. Leave this micro-world so I can move this tree properly.

Upon the Dragon Emperor’s command, all of the colossal beasts left the micro-world, while it descended to the raging vortex of seawater beneath them.

Roar!

Black lightning surged across the Dragon Emperor’s body. In an instant, the heavens trembled, the sea exploded, and under its immense power, the surrounding ocean was forcibly parted, creating a waterless zone spanning dozens of kilometers.

The vortex of seawater above it collapsed, exposing a distorted space—a black-hole-like region spanning dozens of kilometers. This was the connection point between the micro-world and the mythical world.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Streaks of divine blue-black lightning erupted from the Dragon Emperor’s dorsal fins, covering hundreds of kilometers. The sheer force evaporated the nearby water, forming a thunderstorm.

Simultaneously, multiple law-based power surges exploded outward, manifesting as tangible chains that extended into the black-hole region and wrapped around the micro-world.

From afar, at the center of the hundreds-of-kilometers-wide thunderstorm, the projection of a micro-world emerged, with the thousands-meter-tall divine tree standing prominently in the middle.

Roar!

The black-and-red colossal beast standing beneath the world let out a deep, resounding roar. Raising its colossal claws, it reached into the distorted darkness, gripping the micro-world.

Boom!

Under the Dragon Emperor’s world-shaking might and the eight chains of laws, the micro-world was forcefully torn from its space, causing the entire dark void to tremble violently.

Boom!

Taking a step forward, the colossal beast carrying the world crushed the space beneath it, causing black cracks to form as it groaned under the sheer weight.

From afar, the Silver Dragon and the others were left in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They hadn’t expected the Dragon Emperor to be this powerful after awakening from its slumber—capable of forcibly capturing an entire micro-world from the depths of the void and carrying it away.

This act was equivalent to literally carrying an entire world on its back—a feat of unfathomable power.

As the Dragon Emperor moved forward, the divine tree’s roots trembled, slowly pulling free from the void. They stretched over dozens of kilometers, exuding an overwhelming divine presence.

Across thousands of kilometers, countless mutated beasts stirred, turning their attention toward the spectacle.

However, upon sensing the Dragon Emperor’s overwhelming draconic power, fear and hesitation flickered in their eyes.

More than twenty thousand kilometers away, a two-thousand-meter-long colossal avian beast, covered in golden feathers that resembled scaled armor, suddenly stood up. A terrifying aura far beyond ordinary titans erupted from its body.
