Chapter 777: The Declining World, Chen Chu Who Fell From The Sky

In the rift world, before a crystal palace that soared ten thousand meters into the sky, a towering black-and-red beast loomed atop a five-thousand-meter tall crystal throne. An invisible, bone-chilling aura pulsed from its body, filling the air with dread.

Compared to the current size of the Destructive Dragon Emperor, the throne was like a small dirt mound.

In front of the crystal throne, the Single-Horned Kunpeng, five hundred meters long with wings stretching over a kilometer, circled in the sky. It emitted deep, excited cries that sounded like a horn.

Thunder Fiery! Thunder Fiery! This mythical power feels incredible. I think I could take on ten opponents right now!

The Dragon Emperor growled,

Ten level 9 beasts?

No, ten mythical beasts!

the Kunpeng replied confidently.

Now that it had reached the mythical level, the Kunpeng had fully awakened the Ancient Kunpeng bloodline, evolving into a powerful creature from ancient myths and legends. Its form was now even more awe-inspiring.

Not only had the two top-level abilities evolved into high-level laws, but it had also awakened the powerful ultimate techniques, resulting in a dramatic increase in strength.

Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor’s lips curled slightly as it said,

In that case, go have a spar with Zhulong. It just broke through to the mythical level as well.

The Kunpeng froze on the spot and turned toward the distance. There, a crimson colossal beast that had been prematurely awakened floated in the sky. The surrounding clouds and mist blurred its form, making it look as if it existed in another time and space.

Seeing this, the Kunpeng's eyes flickered with a hint of embarrassment, knowing it had just overestimated its own power.

Facing Zhulong, a colossal beast that had partial power to rotate the sun and moon and the ability to slow time, the Kunpeng realized that even its ultimate technique, the Devouring Law, likely wouldn’t be enough to defeat it.

The great Saixitia has returned!

An excited roar rang out from the waterfall entrance. In the blink of an eye, the water in the lake erupted, and amid the roar of winds, the Silver Colossal Dragon shot back into the sky.

𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Each beat of its massive wings stirred hurricanes, unleashing black tornadoes that swept across the land and sky in a display of power.

Ao Tian! You're finally awake! Come on, let’s fight! The great Saixitia will dominate the Chaotic Region and shower it in blood!

the Silver Colossal Dragon roared excitedly, circling around the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor simply growled,

Wait until all the beasts have returned and we'll see.

No problem!

With a thunderous crash, the Silver Colossal Dragon folded its wings and landed beside the Dragon Emperor. The crystal ground, condensed by quasi-mythical power, instantly cracked and trembled under its weight.

Just then, the entrance waterfall exploded again. This time, a Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, its body shimmering with multicolored light, flew in, followed by Qiongqi.

The Golden-Blue Dragon gracefully folded its wings and descended lightly. It turned to the Dragon Emperor and let out a low growl.

Thunder Fiery, have you fully completed your titan-level transformation?

The Dragon Emperor gave a slight nod in response, and the Golden-Blue Dragon’s eyes flickered.

Its inherited memories showed how its mother had spent over twenty day-cycles in deep slumber to fully transform its body and laws when breaking through to the titan level.

Now, with the two colossal dragons standing to the left and right of the Dragon Emperor, the 1,400-meter-long Qiongqi colossal beast quietly positioned itself beside the throne, its appearance fierce and imposing.

Although the Silver Dragon and the others were further away, their flight speed allowed them to return sooner than the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle and others who couldn't fly.

The Silver Dragon suddenly let out a curious low growl from above.

Thorsafi, are you drooling?

Drooling?

The Golden-Blue Dragon slightly opened its fanged jaws, stuck out its tongue, and licked its lips, only to realize there wasn’t any drool at all.

Thorsafi, were you just thinking of something delicious?

the Silver Colossal Dragon growled proudly.

The great Saixitia knows you well. Just now, you looked exactly like you do when you find something tasty and can’t help wanting to take a bite!

The great Thorsafi did indeed think of something delicious... but sadly, I can’t eat it yet.

The Golden-Blue Dragon lay down gracefully with a lazy growl, eyes half-lidded in a relaxed posture.

While the two dragons exchanged low growls, the massive and imposing black-and-red colossal beast between them remained motionless, standing there in a daze and clearly lost in thought.

Boom!

The waterfall entrance exploded once more. Amid the splashes of water, the Dragon Turtle, the female orca, the Blue Giant Crab, and the Nine-Headed Serpent Ghidorah all returned.

Riding the current and sweeping across several dozen kilometers, the Dragon Turtle was the first to charge into the lake, unable to hold back its roar.

Thunder Fiery, we’re back!

The four colossal beasts quickly swam to the shore and gathered beneath the crystal platform. Seeing this, the Kunpeng and Zhulong also descended and landed on either side of them.

On the platform above stood the Dragon Emperor. Over 1,900 meters in length, its shoulders towered more than 700 meters high as it stood on all fours. To its left and right were the 600-meter-long Silver Dragon and the 500-meter-long Golden-Blue Dragon.

Below the platform stood the late-stage mythical-level Qiongqi, as well as the Kunpeng and Zhulong, who had both just broken through to the mythical level.

In the lake, Ghidorah stretched over 300 meters in length, followed by the nearly 300-meter-long Dragon Turtle, the 150-meter-long female orca, and the Blue Crab.

At that moment, the Dragon Palace finally radiated the true majesty of a colossal beast empire.

However, just as all of the colossal beasts were ready to surge out of the rift’s micro-world and conquer the Chaotic Region, they suddenly realized the Dragon Emperor wasn’t saying anything.

The Silver Dragon, whose shoulder height exceeded two hundred meters, reached out its claw and lightly tapped the Dragon Emperor on the knee. The air beneath its claw surged, sending out a ring of white shockwaves.

Ao Tian,

it growled,

everyone’s waiting for you to speak!

The Dragon Emperor stirred slightly at the “pat” and let out a slow, rumbling growl.

No... rush. Wait... for... Hu San... to return. After all, it's... the Dragon Palace’s Cavalry General... now.

From what the Dragon Emperor could sense, Hu San, who was carrying a resonance scale, was on its way back, even though it was still some distance away.

More importantly, however, the Dragon Emperor had something else to deal with right now—something that required its full attention.

Its sluggishness didn’t go unnoticed. The Silver Dragon was the first to sense that something was off; it glanced down at Zhulong with a confused expression and roar.

Ao Tian, did Zhulong infect you or something?

However, the Dragon Emperor had already spaced out again, leaving the Kunpeng and the other colossal beasts below looking up in confusion.

Still, the Dragon Emperor was now the undisputed Dragon King. Since it had said to wait for Hu San to return before doing anything else, they could only wait. After all, their sense of time was quite different, so they didn’t mind waiting a while.

***

Caught in the turbulent currents of time, even Chen Chu’s consciousness grew hazy. He had no idea how long he had been flying before finally passing through something, and suddenly, the pressure on his body eased.

Then he felt himself plummeting, falling faster and faster with each passing moment.

Under the dim, gray sky, the land lay barren. At the edge of a massive ruined city, two figures crept cautiously along the shadows of broken buildings, trying to slip outside unnoticed.

The sky suddenly lit up as a streak of light shot down like a meteor, with blue and red plasma flames trailing behind. Its long, glowing tail sliced through the heavens, casting an eerie glow across the sky.

The sight immediately caught the two figures' attention. They looked up, only to see the meteor getting bigger and closer.

"Watch out!" the larger figure yelled out, as it quickly grabbed the smaller figure and dashed over a hundred meters away.

Boom!

The ground erupted at the exact spot they had been in. A fiery explosion ripped through the earth, sending up a massive shockwave that hurled dirt and rubble in all directions.

The blast was so loud and violent that it echoed through the ruined city, most of which had long been overtaken by vegetation. From within the crumbling remains came deep, savage roars, followed by rumbling tremors, as if something enormous had begun to move.

A few hundred meters away, hiding in the shadows of a collapsed building, the two figures' expressions shifted. The larger figure said, "This is bad. The tyrants and wild beasts have been stirred up. Don’t make a sound, no matter what.”

The smaller figure nodded quickly, clearly afraid.

The two held their breath and watched. Dust billowed in the distance, while trees snapped and buildings collapsed. Suddenly, a ferocious figure, over fifty meters tall, emerged.

The creature was shaped like a human, and its body was a mass of bulging muscle, clad in black scale armor lined with jagged spikes. Its head was hideous, like a demon, exuding a powerful and terrifying presence.

To make matters worse, the monster was surrounded by more than a hundred others that were covered in black or red scales, each standing from three to over ten meters tall.

These monsters snarled mindlessly, eyes gleaming with hunger as they all looked toward the epicenter of the explosion in the distance.

They could smell the fresh human scent thick in the air. The aroma of living flesh and blood drove them into a frenzy.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two monsters, each around five meters tall, dropped to all fours and shot forward. In just a few blinks, they had crossed several hundred meters, leaping straight toward the still-burning epicenter of the explosion.

Just as they dove in, however, a massive force erupted.

Boom!

The air exploded as if it had turned solid, forming a white, waterfall-like pillar of force that engulfed the two monsters. Overwhelmed by the brutal power, both creatures burst apart in midair.

Even after they were obliterated, the force continued, carving a passage over a hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide through the earth before it finally began to fade.

Such overwhelming force made the two people hiding in the distance tense up.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a massive crater came into view, spanning dozens of meters across. The edges were still collapsing, with rubble and earth scattering outward in all directions for hundreds of meters.

Then, from the center of that crater, a figure slowly emerged. His black hair was streaked with white, and he wore battered golden-black armor. A faint, oppressive aura lingered around him.

The two hiding observers gasped the moment they got a clear look at him.

A massive wound slashed diagonally across the man's chest, nearly splitting it open. His internal organs were faintly visible, pulsing beneath the torn flesh. Gashes covered his body, and even his strikingly handsome face was streaked with blood.

He looked like a shattered porcelain statue that had been crudely pieced back together, on the verge of falling apart at any moment, and yet, he was still alive. Surviving wounds that severe was a clear sign of just how powerful his life force was.

While the two figures in hiding were stunned by the extent of Chen Chu’s injuries, the monsters in the distance were also frozen. The ominous pressure radiating from Chen Chu kept them from making any immediate moves.

However, he didn’t seem to care about them. He was deep in thought, quietly surveying his surroundings.

Within his perception, this world held no transcendent energy at all, just like the Blue Planet before the mythical era. There was only oxygen drifting through the atmosphere.

Furthermore, the laws of heaven and earth in this place were remarkably stable, with principles that couldn’t be shaken. It felt like an entirely ordinary world, completely devoid of any transcendent power.

In these conditions, Chen Chu couldn’t absorb transcendent energy from his surroundings to heal his injuries quickly. Even the trace amounts of divine law power within his body, what little he had managed to restore, would dwindle with each use.

This left him in disbelief. Was this really what the guidance of time had led him to? What kind of place was this? Could it possibly hold a solution to the time erosion ravaging his body?

As Chen Chu quietly attuned himself to this world, the monsters in the distance began to grow restless. Drawn in by the fragrance radiating from Chen Chu's body, the heavy-armored demon-like creature could no longer hold back. A violent roar burst from its throat.

All of the surrounding monsters joined in with howls, their eyes turning blood-red with savage hunger as they charged straight toward Chen Chu with thunderous footsteps.

His brow rose slightly. Even if this world wouldn’t allow him to use law-based power, he still had his physical strength.

Roar!

Among the stampeding horde of monsters, the fifty-meter-tall monster reached out with its massive arms and directly yanked a thirty-meter-high building from the ground.

Huff!

Chen Chu let out a slow breath, stirring up a powerful gust of wind. In the next moment, an immense force began to surge within him. As he clenched his right fist, the entire world seemed to shudder.

Boom!

The punch, infused with the power of gods and demons, unleashed a storm of raw fury. The air in front of him was compressed into a nearly solid state, forming a massive, transparent imprint of a fist.

All of the monsters crushed beneath the force of the massive fist imprint, which stretched hundreds of meters across, were instantly blown apart into clouds of blood mist, including the tyrant that had lifted a multi-ton building.

The tyrant let out a terrified and furious roar before its massive body violently detonated into a storm of bloody fragments.

Boom!

When the fist imprint struck the ground, its force exploded outward in all directions. Waves upon waves of transparent shockwaves surged across kilometers, obliterating everything in their path.

The two figures hiding in the shadows of the ruins felt their brains rattle, as the entire world seemed to shake. Their ears rang with a deafening hum as expressions of terror spread across their faces.

He had obliterated the tyrant monster with a single punch. Over a hundred high-level monsters were annihilated, and an entire section of the city was reduced to ruin. Was this a power a human could even possess?

Amid the smoke and dust, Chen Chu slowly turned around and stared at them.

The two figures navigating the dangerous city were actually women. They wore black combat suits and radiated a strong aura of vitality.

One of them had a rather large figure, standing around 1.75 meters tall, with long legs, a slim waist, and most notably, a chest so prominent it was almost intimidating.

The other was shorter, about 1.6 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure that was curvy in all the right places, the kind often described as having the golden ratio. Beneath their masks were two remarkably attractive faces.

Wait, what am I thinking?

Chen Chu frowned, suddenly feeling something wasn’t right.

It didn't matter if they were pretty or not. Right now, he should be figuring out where this place was, and most importantly, determining exactly what point in time and space he was in.
