Chapter 662: Soul Fusion, Devouring the Titan (II)

Beneath the towering red divine tree, colossal beasts of all kinds stood, their eyes filled with excitement as they gazed at the four massive floating divine fruits.

The Destructive Dragon Emperor let out a deep growl.

Roar! The discovery of this divine fruit was primarily due to Big Horn’s efforts. It deserves a reward, so one fruit will go to it.

Under an unseen force, one of the red fruits floated toward the Single-Horned Kun, which was so excited that it nearly drooled.

For the late-stage level 9 Kun, on the verge of the quasi-mythical level, consuming this top-level divine fruit and absorbing the embedded law resonance would allow it to directly break through.

Roar! For the remaining divine fruits, Zhulong and Thorsafi, each of you take one. Strive to reach mythical-level as soon as possible so that you can fully unleash the potential of high-level laws in the future.

Roar! The last one, Little Yi, you take it. Your power growth will allow you to generate more creation energy, which will be crucial in future battles.

Neither the Silver Colossal Dragon nor Qiongqi had any objections to the Dragon Emperor’s distribution.

These top-grade divine fruits had the greatest effects on non-mythical colossal beasts, as the law resonance within them could either accelerate law comprehension or enhance law tempering.

While still beneficial for mythical beasts, the effects were less pronounced. After consuming multiple divine fruits, the benefits would gradually diminish.

Otherwise, with the sheer wealth of the Silver and Golden-Blue Dragons, they would have long since ascended by relying on resources alone.

Of course, both dragons had already skyrocketed in power. Despite being barely over ten years old in human terms, they had already grown into quasi-mythical and mythical colossal beasts.

Eeya! Eeya!

The Purple Dragon gleefully pounced onto a massive divine fruit over ten meters in size. In the next instant, a gigantic purple dragon head, also over ten meters in length, emerged.

Boom!

The Purple Dragon swallowed the divine fruit whole in one bite.

Its usual two-meter size was merely its miniature state. The Dragon Emperor could sense that its true body had already surpassed a hundred meters.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! I'm going to break through! I’m going to become a quasi-mythical beast!

With excited chirping, the Kun also devoured its fruit in one gulp. Instantly, a massive surge of energy exploded within its body, releasing a vast, overwhelming force that radiated a red glow across its surface.

Following suit, Zhulong and the Golden-Blue Dragon each swallowed their fruit, causing their auras to surge explosively.

Whoosh!

The three colossal beasts each found a spot in the distance, lying down with their eyes closed as they focused on digesting the immense energy raging within them. Meanwhile, the Purple Dragon flew back to the Dragon Emperor’s head, finding a comfortable resting spot in the crevices of its scales.

The Silver Dragon let out a mighty roar.

Roar! Ao Tian, go ahead and eat. The great Saixitia is off to inspect our new territory.

With a powerful flap of its wings, the Silver Dragon soared into the sky, circling the micro-world with great enthusiasm. After all, this was its territory now.

Only Qiongqi, with its relatively weak presence, quietly found a corner to lie down in. Having just joined the Dragon Palace, it focused on absorbing transcendent energy to heal the rest of its wounds.

As the Dragon Emperor watched the colossal beasts slowly strengthen while absorbing the divine fruit's energy, a thoughtful gleam flashed in its eyes.

It contemplated whether to send Zhulong back to the Blue Planet once it awoke, to bring over the female orca, the Blue Giant Crab, and Ghidorah, along with the other colossal beasts.

Compared to the barren environment of the Blue Planet, their growth would be significantly faster here. More importantly, with its future conquests set to claim more divine- or law-level artifacts, the Dragon Emperor intended to raise its followers to at least quasi-mythical, and possibly even mythical-level.

Once that happened, it could send them across the Chaotic Region, greatly accelerating its resource collection speed.

As for recruiting other mythical colossal beasts, the Dragon Emperor would continue to do so, but it wouldn’t accept just any beast. For instance, the Dapeng it had encountered earlier was killed without hesitation.

While legends claimed that Dapeng preyed on dragons, that was normally mere myth and folklore. However, this particular Dapeng did, in fact, possess a bloodline suppression over the Silver Dragon and others.

To the Dapeng, the Silver Dragon and its kin were nothing more than food. Even if it submitted under force, it would have only obeyed the Dragon Emperor while waiting for an opportunity to consume the others.

A ticking time bomb like that was out of the question.

Of course, another simple reason was that the Dragon Emperor was hungry. Having reached the heavenly tier, its body’s demand for energy and food had skyrocketed. It needed to devour even stronger colossal beasts to accelerate its growth.

With these thoughts in mind, the Dragon Emperor took a heavy step forward, shattering the earth beneath its feet as it approached the golden colossal beast's corpse, which towered hundreds of meters high in the distance.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor bent slightly, gripping the thousand-meter-long wing in its claws and causing a deep tremor to ripple through the ground. Then, it bared its ferocious maw and chomped down with savage force.

Boom!

Its massive, razor-sharp fangs sank into the Dapeng's wing, triggering a thunderous explosion and sparks of light. It was like biting into a solid metal ore, each tear coming with immense resistance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The flesh of a titan-level colossal beast was exceptionally tough and resilient. As the Dragon Emperor chewed, the impact released energy bursts akin to missile explosions, flashing with golden light and producing a thunderous roar.

After only two bites, it swallowed the chunk whole. Instantly, a blazing torrent of biological energy detonated within its stomach, flooding its body with concentrated law-infused power.

Under the immense surge of biological energy, the Dragon Emperor's body creaked and cracked as its scales split apart and expanded. Its form visibly grew larger at a rate discernible to the naked eye.

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As the Dragon Emperor continued its devouring, deep within the seclusion chamber, an overwhelming aura burst forth from Chen Chu, shaking the very earth. The ground beneath him cracked and sank, as if unable to bear his existence.

Whoosh!

The air around Chen Chu collapsed under the force of his sudden aura leakage, forming raging winds that howled through the chamber. His black hair whipped wildly, and from within his body, the faint sounds of dragon roars echoed.

This was the result of vitality surging too violently through his blood vessels, their turbulent flow generating a powerful, thunderous hum.

Meanwhile, as Chen Chu’s physique continued to strengthen, his aura grew increasingly terrifying. Behind him, the yellow earth, having absorbed an enormous amount of resources, had expanded more than tenfold, now spanning over a hundred kilometers in diameter.

At the very center of this vast land, a towering black divine mountain stood, stretching several thousand meters into the sky. Slowly, it continued to rise, emanating a majestic pressure that seemed to suppress the heavens and earth.

As the foundation of the four worlds, the Earth World was heavy and stable, designed to support all things. It had to be extremely durable.

The Heavenly Flame World was filled with endless flames. High in the sky, a golden sun, condensed from the Great Heavenly Sun Flame law, burned fiercely, radiating boundless light and heat.

The Windstorm World, which had also expanded to over a hundred kilometers, was composed of an intangible material, filled with ceaseless black tempest winds. A colossal tornado, resembling a black hole, stretched endlessly from the ground into the heavens.

At the very core, the Lightning Prison World was a domain where endless thunderbolts gathered, compressed, and formed liquid lightning, resembling a vast pool that emanated an incredible aura.

At the very end of the Lightning Prison World stood a black stone gate, suppressing the four worlds.

At this stage, the worlds had expanded to the middle stage, but more than half of the world-type resources remained unabsorbed. Only once the expansion reached a radius of three hundred kilometers would it meet the requirements for world creation.

As the world expanded, Chen Chu continued his cultivation.

Inside his body, strands of world origin continuously transformed, tempering his true form with the four high-level laws. However, he had only barely touched upon the fifth law—the soul law—and had yet to condense it.

This was because he currently possessed only forty-nine strands of world origin. Including the three strands he had obtained from the Golden Heavenly Heart Lotus, a top-grade divine item, he had barely exceeded fifty strands.

The holy light origin previously contained within the lotus had long since dissipated with Zuo Sheng’s fall.

At present, aside from the void, death, thunderbolt, and flame laws that he had already condensed, he had twelve remaining strands of world origin, which he was saving for his upcoming attempt to touch the supreme law.

Thus, the soul law could only be condensed after breaking through to the mythical level.

This was the fundamental difference between cultivators and colossal beasts. A colossal beast only needed to awaken its life essence through an ancient aura, enabling it to leap directly into the mythical level.

In contrast, human and alien cultivators required a sufficient amount of world origin to complete law transformation before stepping into the king level.

Although Chen Chu had yet to condense the soul law, within his body, his Soul Emperor's true form was already beginning to merge with his law-condensed true form.

This breakthrough was not just about creating a world and grasping a supreme law. Chen Chu was also preparing to unify his soul's true form with his law-condensed true form, achieving the foundation of a heavenly king in a single step.

Just as a colossal beast had to fuse its soul with its colossal body when breaking through to the titan level, a human king also had to unify their divine soul and true form in order to ascend to the heavenly king level after mastering their laws.

By merging his soul's true form with his law-condensed true form in advance, Chen Chu would only need to cultivate his mastered laws to perfection to take a single step into the heavenly king level.
