Chapter 664: A Glimpse from Time, the Kunpeng Colossal Beast (II)

As it devoured the endless energy, the Single-Horned Kun’s entire body began to change.

Its fins morphed and expanded, transforming into a pair of massive wings, their surfaces covered in feather-like golden-black scales. Its originally heavy frame became slightly more compact, making its form appear more balanced and streamlined.

Its once round eyes elongated at the edges, taking on the sharp, piercing quality of an eagle’s gaze. Its tail fin extended outward, becoming broader, with fine, thread-like filaments growing along its edges.

With the white clouds swirling around it, the Kun now resembled a Kunpeng with wings, emanating a dominant and ferocious aura.

With the help of the Destructive Dragon Emperor, the Single-Horned Kun—no, it should now be called the Single-Horned Kunpeng—had successfully evolved, attaining a king-level bloodline with dual top-level innate abilities.

This sudden transformation shocked all of the colossal beasts nearby. Even Qiongqi, which had been recuperating from its injuries in the distance, widened its eyes in disbelief. Zhulong, which had been slumbering while absorbing a divine fruit's energy, was also startled awake.

Even the Silver Colossal Dragon, patrolling the territory hundreds of kilometers away, was drawn back by the explosive surge of powerful energy.

Upon returning and seeing the Kunpeng hovering amid the swirling clouds that stretched out over ten kilometers, the Silver Dragon was momentarily stunned.

Roar! Ao Tian, what happened to Big Horn?

The Dragon Emperor rumbled deeply.

Roar! Nothing much. I fused part of the Golden Dapeng's essence with it to enhance its bloodline. Looks like the results are quite impressive.

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon’s eyes lit up with excitement, and it let out a thunderous roar.

Roar! Evolving bloodlines?! Ao Tian, the great Saixitia also wants to fuse with an essence and evolve!

For colossal beasts, there was no such thing as "impure bloodlines.” As long as it enhanced their strength and refined their lineage, they did not care what kind of essence they absorbed.

The Dragon Emperor hesitated for a moment before responding.

Roar! That depends on finding a titan-level colossal dragon whose essence is compatible with yours. We’d also have to kill it and extract its essence, and even then, success isn’t guaranteed.

Roar! No problem! Ao Tian, let’s go to the depths of the Chaotic Region and kill a titan-level colossal dragon!

The Silver Dragon roared excitedly.

Uhh... Do you think titan-level colossal dragons are easy targets?

The Dragon Emperor was speechless. Titan-level colossal beasts were already dominators of their own territories. Before encountering the Golden Dapeng, the Dragon Emperor had only met one, the Silver Dragon’s mother, and heard of another, the Golden-Blue Dragon’s mother.

Moreover, while the Dragon Emperor’s heavenly-tier bloodline induction ability was strong, it doubted it could push the Silver Dragon beyond one final evolution, at most allowing it to reach the peak of a king-level bloodline with a single top-level ability.

Pushing it to an emperor-level bloodline was practically impossible. Even the Dragon Emperor itself had only reached an emperor-level bloodline by maximizing all of its innate abilities to top-level.

Unless the Silver Dragon encountered some miraculous stroke of fate, it had no hope of reaching emperor-level.

After dismissing the Silver Dragon, the Dragon Emperor glanced at the still-evolving Kunpeng before turning its gaze to Zhulong, which had now fully awakened.

Despite consuming another top-level divine fruit, Zhulong was still a step away from breaking into the mythical level.

The reason was clear—it was different from the Dragon Emperor and Kunpeng. It lacked the ancient aura within its bloodline and had to slowly refine and activate its ancestry through gradual bloodline reversion.

Even after consuming two top-level divine fruits, along with high-level law-tempered treasures from the treasury of the Silver Dragon’s mother, it was still just shy of the final breakthrough.

Realizing this, the Dragon Emperor rumbled.

Roar! Zhulong, return to the Blue Planet and bring back Horn Hime, Ghidorah, Baxia, and General Crab. Right now, we’ve secured our hold over this territory, but we don’t have enough subordinates to gather all of its resources. We need more manpower.

Roar... No... prob...lem... Thunder... Fiery.

Zhulong slowly lowered its head before letting out a deep, resonant roar. In the next instant, it transformed into a crimson streak of light, piercing through the sky and vanishing into the distance.

With Zhulong gone, the Dragon Emperor resumed its work.

Dragging the skeletal remains of the mythical-level Bi’an and the titan-level Dapeng, the Dragon Emperor strode toward the edge of the rift world, each step shaking the earth beneath it.

Hum!

The Dragon Emperor opened its maw, gathering a blinding golden radiance, while its body shimmered with a pulsating purple halo. In the next instant, a golden-purple fusion flame erupted forth.

Boom!

A conflagration of twin high-level laws ignited, releasing a searing heat so intense that it seemed capable of boiling oceans and incinerating the heavens. The raging inferno engulfed the landscape for several kilometers, consuming everything in its path.

Under the immense heat, the ground itself vaporized, spatial distortions rippled through the air, and the Bi’an’s colossal remains began to glow—slowly dissolving into nothingness.

Then, the golden Dapeng colossal beast’s skeleton began to radiate a dazzling golden light. The mountain-sized golden bones gradually melted away, bit by bit.

As the Dragon Emperor continued tempering the remains of both colossal beasts, the flames it exhaled emitted an invisible searing heat, causing the entire micro-world to become swelteringly hot.

Eventually, half of the sky itself was ablaze, and for hundreds of kilometers, the world's edge had transformed into a sea of molten lava, with golden tongues of flame flickering across the scorched landscape.

Nearly half a day later, the Dragon Emperor finally let its flames subside, revealing the refined bone essence, now transformed into a semi-energy material.

The Bi'an’s refined bone essence had taken the form of a yellow crystal pillar, over one hundred meters long and more than thirty meters wide. Meanwhile, the Dapeng’s bone essence had become a golden mountain, over two hundred meters long and dozens of meters high.

Especially striking was the mountain, which pulsed with sharp, radiant golden light, exuding an immense energy fluctuation and a mystical resonance of laws.

Staring at the two massive colossal beast essences, the Dragon Emperor exhaled a scorching breath before unleashing an infinite surge of golden-white flames from its body.

Boom!

The golden-white flames erupted outward, centered on the Dragon Emperor, forming a ten-kilometer-wide semicircular firestorm that shrouded the heavens and earth, obscuring the view of the Silver Dragon and other nearby colossal beasts.

Hum!

Silver light flickered on the Dragon Emperor’s head, and within the burning firestorm, a silver vortex emerged. It rapidly contracted and condensed, forming a whirling vortex over ten meters in diameter.

At the same time, Chen Chu had awakened. The sleeve of his right arm had turned to ashes, revealing skin engraved with golden-red spatial runes.

As the runes activated, a massive silver vortex materialized in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Dragon Emperor grasped the hundred-meter-long yellow crystal pillar with both claws, and with an explosive burst of strength, it snapped the pillar into four sections. The moment the essence fractured, an energy shockwave erupted, as if a missile had detonated

Next, the Dapeng’s bone essence was also shattered, creating resounding explosions as the Dragon Emperor prepared to transfer the pieces to Chen Chu for further enhancing his world.

Roar!

The Dragon Emperor’s feathery horns flashed brilliantly, and in an instant, the silver vortex expanded to over fifty meters. One by one, the massive bone essence fragments passed through the vortex, vanishing into the spatial passage.

As the final bone essence fragment was about to pass through, a tiny movement stirred atop the Dragon Emperor’s head, where the Little Purple Dragon had been hibernating, absorbing the energy of a top-level divine fruit. Suddenly, it woke up

Eeya! Eeya! Wait for Little Yi! The great Little Yi must also offer a sacrifice!

With a flash of light beneath its reverse scale, a half-meter-wide divine fruit peel, streaked with red patterns, appeared in its tiny claws.

Whoosh!

Under the Purple Dragon’s eager gaze, the divine fruit peel shot through the silver vortex.

The Purple Dragon excitedly reared up on its hind legs, spreading its claws wide as it shouted with childlike enthusiasm.

Eeya! Eeya! The great Yiyi has made an offering! The great Yiyi will become stronger! Stronger!

However, as the silver vortex slowly faded away, the Purple Dragon felt no change at all. At the same time, the Dragon Emperor’s flames gradually died down.

Seeing the Dragon Emperor turn away and stride toward the edge of the molten sea, the Purple Dragon became confused.

Eeya?! Eeya?! Big Brother, why didn’t Yiyi change?

The Dragon Emperor’s mouth twitched slightly before it let out a deep rumble.

Roar! I'm not offering Life Crystals this time—just sending something as a gesture of goodwill.

𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Eeya?! Eeya?! We have to send gifts to build relationships?!

A look of utter bewilderment crossed the Purple Dragon’s face. In all of the inherited memories it had received, there was no mention of needing to build connections when making offerings to an unknown entity.

Soon, the Dragon Emperor arrived at the edge of the lava lake, its heavy footfalls shaking the ground. As it stepped onto solid land, lava cascaded off its scaly limbs like waterfalls, sending steaming waves of heat into the air.

Hovering above with wings fully spread, the Silver Dragon eagerly let out a thunderous roar.

Roar! Ao Tian, can we depart now?

Not far away, the Kunpeng, having completed its evolution, was soaring joyously through the clouds, releasing deep, horn-like cries.

At the same time, Qiongqi, now 1,100 meters long, had recovered most of its strength, radiating the oppressive aura of a middle-stage mythical-level colossal beast.

As for the Golden-Blue Dragon, it remained asleep atop a distant mountain peak, its power surging, on the verge of breaking through to the mythical level.

The Dragon Emperor nodded and growled.

Roar! Let’s go. This time, we venture deep into the Chaotic Region. We will not return until we break through to the titan level.

Since entering the mythical world, the Dragon Emperor had spent most of its time asleep or preparing for evolution.

Now, its laws were fully transformed, its life stage had ascended to heavenly-tier, and there was no further growth to be had in abilities or life stage. From here on, the only goal was evolution—endless, relentless evolution—until it finally broke through to the titan level and became an ancient titan.

Only then would it possess the absolute power to dominate the battlefield.

Roar!

With an earth-shaking roar, the Dragon Emperor, now 1,300 meters long, burst into motion. Behind it, its golden-white flame wings, spanning nearly 3,000 meters, flared brilliantly, radiating an aura comparable to a titan-level colossal beast that shook the heavens and earth.

Beside it, the 500-meter-long Silver Dragon flew in formation, its 1,000-meter wingspan gleaming in the light. Following closely was the 1,100-meter-long Qiongqi, and the 300-meter-long Kunpeng.

Lastly, atop the Dragon Emperor’s head, the Purple Dragon, after its brief awakening, had already fallen asleep once again.

With one small and four large colossal beasts roaring in unison, they surged forward, shrouded in violent shockwaves, charging deep into the Chaotic Region toward the continental block at the edge of the Chaotic Sea.
