Chapter 775: The Summoning of the Colossal Beast Emperor, Weak Signal (I)

As Chen Chu was swept into the space-time storm and disappeared, blood-red lightning rumbled over the Chaotic Sea, unleashing a world-shattering aura of destruction that blanketed half of the sky.

The ocean trembled as space shattered. Countless mutated beasts within a thousand-kilometer radius fled in all directions, consumed by panic.

Bathed in dazzling red light, the Destructive Dragon Emperor—six thousand meters long, standing over four thousand meters tall when upright—loomed motionless like a towering mountain, seemingly frozen and unresponsive.

Eeya, eeya!?

The Little Purple Dragon noticed the Dragon Emperor's strange state and flew up to its massive eyes, puzzled.

The Dragon Emperor’s enormous golden vertical pupils, each as vast as a lake, stirred slightly. Hot air erupted from its nostrils as it let out a deep, slow growl.

I... am... fine.

With a thought, the Dragon Emperor released its enlarged form. The spatial inscriptions glowing on its feathery horns slowly dimmed, and the red light radiating from its body faded along with them.

The blood-red lightning vanished. As the brilliance dimmed, the Dragon Emperor’s body rapidly shrank, quickly returning to its black-and-red form just over 1,900 meters long. A wave of weakness washed over it—not too intense, but noticeable.

From the moment Chen Chu summoned the altar to battle the demon god, to their venture into the chaotic currents of space, and the fierce clash with the Silver Time Butterfly, only a few hours had passed.

This time, the Dragon Emperor’s energy expenditure while entering Destruction Mode hadn’t been heavy. However, Chen Chu being swept into the storm had greatly affected it.

The Dragon Emperor and Chen Chu shared a single soul essence, their consciousnesses intertwined. Normally, they could handle matters separately while maintaining a seamless synchronization. Thus, even after Chen Chu had been drawn into the storm, their connection remained unbroken.

Moreover, with their dual-body unity, the Dragon Emperor could vaguely sense Chen Chu’s existence. However, it couldn’t pinpoint him, as if he no longer existed within the current flow of time.

As a result, the link between main body and avatar, now stretched across different timeframes, began to lag. What once was a hundred-megabyte channel had now dwindled to just a few kilobytes.

When the proverbial signal was strong, responses were swift; when intermittent, consciousness slowed, and the Dragon Emperor’s state resembled that of Zhulong.

𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Dragon Emperor slowly shook its head and let out a deep, rumbling growl.

Little Yi, let’s go back first. We have serious matters to attend to.

The situation on the human side had temporarily settled. Now, with the final metamorphosis to a titan nearing completion, it was time to sweep across the Chaotic Region and embark on the road to dominating the mythical world.

As long as there was enough natural treasure and food, the Dragon Emperor would rapidly grow and break through to the ancient titan level.

Boom!

In the rift world, the Dragon Emperor, a moving mountain range, entered through the waterfall’s portal; the entire world trembled in response, already struggling to withstand its existence.

Its colossal form, dozens of times stronger than other titans of the same level, contained the force of nine high-level laws. In essence, the Dragon Emperor resembled a compressed star of devastating power.

The life field radiating from its body shook heaven and earth, suppressing all natural laws, and causing layers of transparent ripples to form wherever it passed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The surface of the lake, dozens of kilometers in diameter, exploded. Lan Yu appeared, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, and bringing with her all of the other mermaids. They looked up fervently at the black-and-red colossal beast stomping through the void.

"We greet our king!" Hundreds of mermaids, with upper bodies fair as jade and delicate areas modestly covered by shells, bowed respectfully to the Dragon Emperor, their graceful forms on full display.

Yet, for most colossal beasts, aesthetics differed greatly. Only the Dragon Emperor found this scene pleasing to the eye.

Especially the two sisters leading the group: Lan Yu and Lan Ning, one with a voluptuous figure, the other tall and slender, their faces breathtakingly beautiful. Only... it remained unknown what their fishtails...

Ahem! What am I thinking? I’m a titan-level colossal beast. These little creatures aren’t even the size of one of my scales. How could...

Shaking off the absurd thoughts, the Dragon Emperor’s deep growl resonated across the world.

How... have the... Icefish been... doing lately?

Lan Yu respectfully replied, "At present, the total number of Icefish has increased by over 800. There are more than 2,300 juveniles, over 700 maturing individuals, and 39 mature Icefish."

Due to the Purple Dragon’s prolonged slumber, the mature Icefish had accumulated considerably.

Not bad,

the Dragon Emperor rumbled as it slowly nodded.

Though the Icefish were insignificant to the titan-level Dragon Emperor—barely enough to fill a tooth gap—they were of great importance to the Purple Dragon. The icy origin within them could help it recover some of its depleted energy.

Upon receiving the Dragon Emperor’s praise, excitement and joy spread across the faces of the mermaids. As a vassal race, the Dragon Emperor was seen as their supreme master, their highest reverence.

Since becoming its vassals, they had witnessed with their own eyes the Dragon Emperor’s astonishing growth from a mere seven-hundred-meter-long mythical colossal beast to its current unfathomable size within just a single day-cycle.

Along the way, it had slain countless mythical and titan-level beasts, showcasing great might. It even carried entire worlds upon its back.

Adding to that the recent slaying of the monstrous mountain-like creature, their awe and worship of the Dragon Emperor deepened beyond measure.

The Dragon Emperor hovered motionless in mid-air amid the mermaids’ reverent gazes. After a long moment, its "signal" suddenly cleared, and it let out a deep, resonant growl.

Xiao Yi, go and eat those mature Icefish.

Accumulate more strength. I plan to summon Saixitia and the others back, and we’ll begin sweeping across the Chaotic Region soon.

At once, the Purple Dragon’s eyes lit up, and it let out an excited, childish howl, before quickly correcting it into a roar.

Kill! The great Yiyi wants to see rivers of blood!

Hearing that the Dragon Emperor intended to lead them into battle, the Purple Dragon became utterly ecstatic. Fighting was its favorite thing.

As the Purple Dragon transformed into a streak of light and shot into the lake, the Dragon Emperor’s eyes once again showed a faintly dazed look. It lingered in the air for a few more minutes before finally flying off into the distance.

There, atop a mountain over seven thousand meters tall, the Single-Horned Kunpeng, now grown to over five hundred meters long, lay in deep slumber, its Black-and-White Domain spreading out to cover a five-kilometer radius.

Twenty kilometers away, coiled atop another peak, a colossal red beast, now over seven hundred meters long with a slender and dragon-like tail, slumbered as well.

Around Zhulong, visions of the four seasons cycling and the sun and moon circling appeared, radiating an aura far surpassing that of an ordinary mythical colossal beast.

Back when Zhulong was only level 9, it had already mastered a top-level innate ability—a transformation that alternated black and white, day and night. With the Dragon Emperor’s help, it even touched upon the law of time, achieving a quasi-mythical-level breakthrough.

Now that it had fully reached the mythical level, the two top-level innate abilities synergized and became even stronger—an outcome that surprised even the Dragon Emperor.

The reason lay in Zhulong's abilities themselves. Through the cycling of day and night within its domain, Zhulong became attuned to the flow of time. In turn, the law of time influenced the transition of day and night into the four seasons, complementing each other perfectly.

Gazing at its two still-slumbering subordinates, the Dragon Emperor took a deep breath. A world-shaking roar erupted, and wild winds howled across heaven and earth.

The space ahead of it shattered on a massive scale from the sonic waves, creating giant black rifts that spread outward for dozens of kilometers.

The divine might contained within that roar expanded in all directions, piercing through the rift world, penetrating the fabric of space, and crossing vast distances.

Over seven thousand kilometers away, across the sea beyond the rift world, a red scale shard embedded between the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle’s neck plates began to vibrate, prompting it to release an excited roar.

General Crab, time to return! Thunder Fiery’s calling for us!

Far across the sea, a Blue Giant Crab, which had been searching for a target, waved its giant pincers with excitement and spat out streams of bubbles.

Our king has awakened!

More than ten kilometers away, the Nine-Headed Serpent thrashed about on the ocean’s surface.

Ao Ba is finally leading us into battle again! This time, Ghidorah will have to fight nine at once!

Before returning from the depths of the Chaotic Region and falling into slumber, the Dragon Emperor had torn off two of its scales to forge a batch of simple communicators.

These shards had basic resonance runes carved into them, each containing a wisp of the Dragon Emperor’s law power. A single roar could trigger a resonance across all shards.

Of course, because the runes were basic, the effective range only covered around one hundred thousand kilometers, and that was already thanks to the sheer strength of the scales, which could bear over a hundred basic resonance runes.

Now, the Dragon Turtle, Serpent, Blue Crab, and the female orca all raced toward the Dragon Palace.

Meanwhile, over thirty thousand kilometers away on a massive island, the Silver Colossal Dragon, Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, and Qiongqi also received the call.

The Silver Dragon let out an excited roar.

Ao Tian has awakened! Thorsafi, let’s hurry back. The great Saixitia’s road to conquest is finally about to begin!

Boom!

Surrounded by a black storm, the Silver Dragon shot out like a streak of light, tearing through the tempest and flashing dozens of kilometers away in the blink of an eye.

Compared to the inpatient Silver Dragon, however, the Golden-Blue Dragon was far more elegant. Its magnificent, massive wings stirred, sending colorful light sweeping into the sky as it soared aloft.

Finally, the late-stage mythical-level Qiongqi unfurled its massive red wings and followed behind the two dragons, like a loyal guardian.

While one colossal beast after another received the Dragon Emperor’s summoning and began making their way back, a ferocious battle had already broken out in the seas over eighty thousand kilometers away.
