Chapter 658: The Arrival of the Crimson Annihilation, Fighting A Titan-Level Colossal Beast (I)

On the towering cliffs, tens of thousands of meters high, which severed the ocean into two halves, a golden colossal beast—a Dapeng[1] over 2,400 meters long—suddenly rose to its feet. Its sharp gaze locked onto the direction where the Destructive Dragon Emperor stood.

Even though it was over twenty thousand kilometers away, it could still sense the divine law-level aura emanating from the tree’s roots. The vast fluctuations of world energy stirred its instincts, igniting a primal urge to devour.

Screech!

With a piercing cry that tore through space, the Dapeng erupted with a mighty aura that sent shockwaves surging outward in white rings.

Boom!

Its massive wings, spanning four thousand meters and covered in golden, feather-like scales, quivered violently. Space around it shattered like fragile glass, breaking into countless translucent shards.

As its wings crushed the spatial fragments, the Dapeng instantly transformed into a streak of golden light, blasting forward and disappearing into the dim skies.

Even at its normal flying speed, the Dapeng could exceed a hundred times the speed of sound. The sheer force of its flight stirred up an endless storm of transparent spatial fragments, shaking the world with a deafening roar of destruction.

Before long, the colossal beast traversed several thousand kilometers and approached a forbidden zone formed by raging gray tornadoes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Towering whirlwinds, thousands of meters thick, churned endlessly, sucking up the boundless ocean with their terrifying force—enough to shred a level 9 colossal beast to pieces.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Flashes of golden light streaked past, colliding directly with the tornadoes. Each one shattered on impact, while the unleashed tempests howled through the sky.

As the Dapeng passed through the hurricane-covered region, thunderbolts as thick as several meters descended from the skies in endless succession...

***

On the surface of the raging sea, massive waves surged, forming tsunamis hundreds of meters high. High above, in the sky ten thousand meters above sea level, a black and red colossal beast, over a thousand meters long, hovered ominously. Eight distinct laws shimmered across its body as it carried an entire micro-world on its back, balancing it with its two massive claws.

Each of the Dragon Emperor’s steps was heavy, causing the surrounding space to collapse into vast black rifts that spread in all directions.

In the spatial distortion region ten kilometers above its head, one could see a micro-world tearing apart—mountains crumbling, land shattering, and countless ordinary mutated beasts fleeing frantically, as though the apocalypse had arrived.

Meanwhile, beneath the giant crimson tree, crystal-red roots stretched for dozens of kilometers, extending into the emptiness of the void—a sight of overwhelming grandeur.

As the Dragon Emperor carried the micro-world forward, transparent shockwaves surged across the land, stretching for dozens of kilometers in all directions and shaking the heavens with their sheer force.

In the distance, the Silver Colossal Dragon let out an excited roar.

Roar! Ao Tian! You're incredible! You can actually carry an entire micro-world while moving!

Atop the Dragon Emperor’s head, the two-meter-long Little Purple Dragon stood between its forked horns, waving its tiny claws excitedly.

Eeya! Eeya! Charge forward! Invincible!

The Single-Horned Kun, flapping its fins, blinked its glowing blue horn excitedly and chirped.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Thunder Fiery, you’re amazing! Absolutely insane!

It wasn’t just them—the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, Zhulong, and Qiongqi all revealed expressions of awe.

Staring at the black and red colossal beast, the Golden-Blue Dragon felt an inexplicable surge of passion—as well as a weakness in its tail.

This beast from an undeveloped world is simply too powerful.

Even my mother can't do this—carry an entire micro-world from one place to another.

It wasn’t just about controlling law forces and weaving them into chains. It also required the ability to extend one’s laws into the void, envelop the micro-world’s outer shell, and bear its immense weight.

Even Thorsafi’s mother, a late-stage titan, wouldn’t be able to withstand such pressure.

While the colossal beasts roared in celebration, the Dragon Emperor remained indifferent, striding forward one kilometer at a time with an unshaken expression.

In truth, however, the Dragon Emperor was far from at ease. Hundreds of kilometers of land within the micro-world pressed down on its back, and even it felt the crushing weight.

The only reason it could even move was that the void had absorbed most of the burden—but even then, it had underestimated the difficulty.

Damn, I didn’t expect carrying such a small world would be this exhausting. I’ve only traveled a few hundred kilometers, and my legs are already starting to feel weak.

Yet, as the strongest colossal beast in the Dragon Palace Empire, it refused to show any signs of struggle, no matter how difficult it was.

Suddenly, the Dragon Emperor halted abruptly, its golden vertical pupils turning ice-cold as it gazed into the distance.

Roar! Look out!

It had sensed a titan-level aura rapidly approaching. In mere moments, the source had closed the distance to just a few hundred kilometers.

An overwhelming, savage aura—one that devoured true dragons as prey—swept through the heavens, engulfing everything. Both the Silver Dragon and the Golden-Blue Dragon felt their expressions change.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the crushing titan-level pressure, the Kun, Golden-Blue Dragon, and Zhulong were all forced out of the sky, crashing violently into the ocean below.

At that moment, aside from the Silver Dragon and Qiongqi, none of the other colossal beasts were even qualified to stand before the titan-level colossal beast, which was recklessly unleashing its oppressive aura.

Although Zhulong and the Golden-Blue Dragon possessed strength comparable to the beginning stage of the mythical level, there was still an insurmountable gap between transcendent and mythical, let alone the gulf between a titan-level being and a mythical colossal beast.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Silver Dragon radiated divine silver light, black storms of destruction swirling around it as it roared in fury to resist the overwhelming pressure surging from the distant horizon.

Especially oppressive was the invisible yet crushing aura—an innate suppression upon draconic bloodlines. It sent a primal shudder through the Silver Dragon, Golden-Blue Dragon, and Zhulong.

This was the aura of a natural predator. In myths and legends, Dapeng preyed on dragons, their very existence innately restraining draconic creatures. Even in the mythical world, this held true.

Screech!

Accompanied by a sound like tearing metal, golden light flashed in the distance. A golden Dapeng, spanning four thousand meters in wingspan, appeared just a few dozen kilometers away. Its icy gaze swept across the gathered colossal beasts, finally locking onto the Dragon Emperor.

To this Dapeng, neither the Silver Dragon nor Qiongqi were anything more than food to be swallowed in one bite. Only the mythical colossal beast carrying an entire micro-world gave it a slight sense of danger.

The Golden-Blue Dragon and Kun, being beneath the mythical level, were completely ignored.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor loosened its claws, retracting the countless law-bound chains entwined around its body. Immediately, the space above it trembled, and the divine tree’s world projection quivered violently.

Suspended high in the sky, the Dragon Emperor emanated bursts of black lightning and blue-black thunderbolts. Along its head, golden-white flames burned atop its three pairs of feathery horns, standing firm in a silent confrontation with the Dapeng.

Though its overall size was several times smaller than the Dapeng, the unseen, vast pressure of a heavenly beast radiating from the Dragon Emperor was no less formidable than that of the titan-level beast.

Crack! Crack!

As their auras clashed in the space before them, the very air seemed to compress into a tangible force, splintering apart into massive transparent rifts that stretched for hundreds, even thousands, of meters—an utterly terrifying sight.

Neither side spoke. No roars, no verbal challenges.

The Dapeng, a middle-stage titan-level colossal beast, realized that the strongest among these creatures was merely at the middle stage of the mythical realm. Instantly, an overwhelming killing intent erupted from its body.

Boom!

The golden light of laws flared from the Dapeng, sharp beyond compare. The expanding radiance swallowed an area over forty kilometers wide, turning both the heavens and ocean into a vast sea of gold.

Roar!

The Dragon Emperor let out a savage bellow, its blade-like wings spreading wide. An explosion of flames, thunderbolts, black lightning, and violet halos burst forth from its form, engulfing the surroundings in an instant.

Boom!

Eight high-level laws erupted in unison, their power spreading across a thirty-kilometer radius. They formed a domain infused with spatial force, suppressing everything in its wake.

This was the power of the titan level—far surpassing the law and demonic domains wielded by heavenly kings and Purgatory Demons, both in magnitude and intensity.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor’s radiant, multicolored law-world clashed violently against the golden law-world of the Dapeng. The collision of pure gold’s sharp laws and the eight high-level laws produced a sky-quaking, bone-crushing compression, as if the heavens themselves were being overwhelmed.

At the instant their law-worlds collided and their respective spatial energies neutralized each other, the Dragon Emperor and Dapeng charged forward—crashing together in a devastating impact.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor’s claws clashed against the Dapeng’s even larger talons. The resulting force shattered the space around them, sending invisible shockwaves rippling downward and causing the ocean below to collapse into a massive crater spanning over ten kilometers.

Screech!

Seeing that the black and red draconic beast, despite being smaller, had withstood its strike without being thrown back, the Dapeng let out a vicious cry, its wings vibrating intensely.

Boom!

An even greater surge of power erupted from the Dapeng’s talons, crushing the void beneath them. Everything in its path collapsed—space itself cracking apart under the sheer force. The Dragon Emperor trembled slightly under the impact, the ground beneath its feet shattering into a spatial rupture.

Yet, trembling was all it did.

The Dragon Emperor, having tempered its eight high-level laws, had ascended into a heavenly-tier being, its draconic power now utterly unstoppable. It crushed all opposition before it, and even when facing a titan-level colossal beast, it did not falter.
