Chapter 782: A Chaotic Empire, Sisters (I)

Golden flames blazed across the sea, engulfing more than two hundred kilometers in every direction.

The ocean boiled, the sky was scorched, and the land melted. Lava churned, releasing searing energy that compressed the air into a thick, blazing halo stretching several kilometers wide.

Beyond the golden ring of radiation, the returning water roared to a boil. Towering steam clouds rose to the sky, only to be scattered by fierce hurricanes.

The Longjia King, measuring over two thousand meters in length, stood tall beneath the oppressive thunderclouds, surrounded by golden radiance. Her gaze was filled with awe as she looked down.

There, in the heart of the inferno, stood the Destructive Dragon Emperor. Blue thunderbolts crackled around its body, interwoven with black and red lightning and disintegrating what remained of the Titanic Flame Whale’s colossal corpse.

Its body had been torn apart, its will, soul, and life essence suppressed by nine high-level laws. This beast had long lost the power to resist.

The sight left Longjia King Alicia deeply shaken. She had sensed the immense danger from this black-and-red colossal beast the moment the Dragon Emperor descended. She knew it was powerful—far too powerful to be measured by the beginning stage of the titan level alone.

Still, these were both titan-level colossal beasts. No matter how strong the opponent, it shouldn't have been able to annihilate a middle-stage beast in just a few moves.

Even late-stage titans required a prolonged battle to defeat one at the middle-stage, let alone utterly crush them.

So its real power...

A chill rose from the base of her spine.

Earlier, the Silver Colossal Dragon and the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon had been shouting about exterminating everyone. If not for this Thunder Fiery Dragon King being somewhat more reasonable...

As Alicia reeled in fear, the void trembled. The Dragon Emperor slowly emerged from the firestorm, dragging the Titanic Flame Whale’s massive, two-kilometer-long corpse behind it.

With each step, its heavy footfalls shattered space itself, leaving behind vast, flaming footprints suspended in the intangible void.

Faced with the black-and-red colossal beast cloaked in multi-colored law energy, the even larger Longjia King lowered her head and spoke in a respectful tone.

"Honorable Thunder Fiery Dragon King, thank you for aiding our people in slaying this formidable foe. As a token of our gratitude, I, on behalf of the Longjia, am willing to join the Dragon Palace."

The Dragon Emperor paused, still gripping the Titanic Flame Whale’s corpse.

What’s going on? Is this how aliens in the mythical world express gratitude—by immediately pledging all their forces in allegiance?

However, it quickly understood. The sheer display of its power had likely terrified the Longjia King into submission.

This was the fundamental difference between aliens and colossal beasts. Beasts were straightforward and simple-minded, but aliens, who had already built civilizations, were far more cunning and intelligent, and thus far easier to bring to heel.

As the unexpected pledge was happening, chaos raged across the ocean. The Single-Horned Kunpeng and other colossal beasts had already entered a frenzy.

Roar!

On the sea, the middle-stage mythical Lizardman King bellowed as black heavy water swirled around it, rising into towering waterspouts that pierced sky and sea alike and shredded all in their path.

High in the sky, the Silver Dragon, surrounded by black ice crystal storms, let out a thunderous roar. A stream of freezing white dragon breath blasted from its mouth, slamming into the heavy water pillars.

The mighty Extreme Ice Law began to freeze the heavy water, forming enormous blocks of ice that shattered under the vortex’s force and exploded with violent force.

As its breath gradually froze the domain governed by heavy water, the Silver Dragon’s wings flared with radiant silver light. It erupted with explosive might, distorting and folding the surrounding space.

Boom!

The domain of heavy water collapsed under the spatial distortion. The Lizardman King roared in fury as the Silver Dragon, cloaked in dark storms, lunged forward.

However, it stood no chance. The Silver Dragon, wielding two high-level laws, instantly overwhelmed its foe.

Elsewhere, a late-stage mythical Draconic Horse and the equally powerful Qiongqi joined forces to confront a peak mythical-level Black Flame Whale. Their clash split the heavens and sundered the earth.

Tens of thousands of Longjia warriors surrounded the Draconic Horse and enhanced its strength with battle chants and sacred rituals, elevating it to rival even the peak of the mythical level.

Qiongqi, having awakened an ancient bloodline and mastered a high-level law, also fought with strength that matched a peak mythical beast. The two quickly inflicted serious wounds on the Black Flame Whale.

The remaining beginning-stage mythical Black Flame Whale was utterly crushed by Zhulong, which wielded two high-level laws. Shuttling between day and night, it blew apart half of the whale’s body with a single strike.

With top-tier power firmly in their favor, the Single-Horned Kunpeng began its slaughter. Its dark-golden wings carved out saber lights over two kilometers long.

Each strike tore massive rifts across the ocean, each over a dozen kilometers wide. Countless Lizardmen were shredded, and level 9 colossal beasts fell one by one.

Now that it had reached the mythical level, the same level 9 colossal beasts that once chased the Kunpeng across the seas had become utterly helpless.

Wooo!

The Kunpeng let out an excited trill, its massive mouth gaping like a black hole.

Boom!

Over ten kilometers away, the sea surface plunged into darkness, then suddenly collapsed. Within moments, an entire kilometer of seawater and a level 9 Black Flame Whale vanished without a trace.

While the Kunpeng went on its rampage, the Golden-Blue Dragon, also mythical-level, had likewise entered slaughter mode.

Circling at tens of thousands of meters above the battlefield, the Golden-Blue Dragon flared its wings wide, unleashing a dazzling spectrum of seven-colored light. Thousands of red, blue, and purple crystals materialized around it.

Each crystal, dozens of meters in diameter, brimmed with volatile elemental energy—fire, water, lightning—all of them crashing down like massive warheads. In moments, the bombardment engulfed over a hundred kilometers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sea boiled violently, and screams rang out from hundreds of thousands of Lizardmen as they desperately dove toward the deep sea to escape the onslaught.

As the two mythical colossal beasts wreaked havoc, others joined the massacre with bloodshot eyes, driven by violent frenzy: the Nine-Headed Serpent, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, and the Blue Giant Crab, all level 9 beasts.

Compared to the Dragon Palace beasts, who fought even harder than the Longjia themselves, the black orca patrolled the battlefield’s periphery with the little orca, staying out of the battle. It only acted when it spotted an injured level 8 Black Flame Whale attempting to flee.

Whenever members of the Longjia Race spotted the black orca, they would stand still in solemn respect, gratitude shining in their eyes.

Had it not been for this friendly orca bringing reinforcements, the Longjia would have suffered heavy casualties and irreparable loss of vitality even if they had repelled the Black Abyssal invasion.

The battle didn’t fully settle until half a day later. In the final wave led by the Longjia King, not a single Black Abyssal Lizardman or Black Flame Whale escaped—all were slain. The sea across hundreds of kilometers was stained red, littered with floating corpses.

However, the chaos had taken its toll. The Longjia had suffered heavy casualties, and even beasts like the Blue Crab had been seriously injured in the brutal fighting.

As the Longjia worked to heal the wounded, the Blue Crab and other colossal beasts dragged the corpses of level 9 beasts toward the center of the battlefield.

The Blue Crap was the first to swim back, carefully pinching a small golden Life Crystal between its massive claws as it gurgled,

Your Majesty, I killed seven this time, and I found a level 9 Life Crystal!

However, it was clearly in bad shape; its carapace had been torn through by a powerful force, and it only had three legs left on its left side.

These injuries had come from the peak level 9 Black Flame Whale, one that had already been split in half by the Kunpeng and had only its head remaining.

Even on the brink of death, the beast had nearly slain the middle-stage level 9 crab.

The Dragon Emperor let out a low rumble.

Not bad. But next time, be more careful. When the power gap is wide, strategy matters—learn from Horn Hime.
