Chapter 801: Battle Between Two Dragons, Roots of the Void (I)

Although it was also at the beginning stage of the titan level, the purple colossal beast, which had only mastered a single high-level law, was utterly outmatched before the Destructive Dragon Emperor. It had been gravely wounded the moment they clashed.

The advantage of wielding nine high-level laws lay not only in the sheer number of ultimate techniques, but in an overwhelming dominance across all aspects.

Over ten minutes later, the golden sun that had been releasing searing heat finally began to retract and extinguish, revealing a black-and-red colossal beast standing proudly amid the raging void and searing shockwaves.

The Dragon Emperor trampled the lifeless body of the purple titan beneath its foot while gripping the wings in one claw. Centered around it, everything within a radius of over twenty kilometers had been vaporized—whether it was the white mist, the rocky soil, or even the surface layers of space itself.

Big Brother is awesome, fucking invincible!

The Little Purple Dragon transformed into a streak of flowing light, leaping across dozens of kilometers to appear before the Dragon Emperor with a series of excited, childish roars.

The Dragon Emperor, who exuded the aura of being able to tear titans apart with its bare claws, stiffened slightly. It opened its ferocious jaws and let out a low growl.

Little Yi, 'fucking invincible' isn't a very suitable phrase for a girl. Don't say it again in the future.

It's not good?

The Purple Dragon blinked its big eyes, looking puzzled.

When it had first hatched, standing atop the Dragon Emperor as they swept across the oceans, it often heard the Blue Giant Crab and other colossal beasts shouting how awesome and unbeatable the Dragon Emperor was.

Even though the Dragon Emperor wore an indifferent expression, the Purple Dragon could sense that it enjoyed the praise immensely.

Was my posture wrong?

She pondered, recalling the scene when the Nine-Headed Serpent Ghidorah grew excited, wildly twisting its nine heads and tangling its tail.

Ao Tian, you are amazing!

The Silver Colossal Dragon roared in celebration, folding its wings and landing heavily beside the Dragon Emperor with a thunderous crash.

Standing atop the corpse of the purple titan, the Silver Dragon fiercely slapped its claws down with a growl.

Damn you, daring to ambush the great Saixitia. You deserved death!

By now, the wounds along the Silver Dragon’s side had mostly healed. All that was left were fresh scales still growing in, exposing patches of white hide patterned with snowflake-like markings.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon also flew over, its crystal-clear wings unfurling as it floated mid-air and let out a low growl of amazement. I

can't even imagine how terrifying you’ll become once you evolve into an ancient colossal beast, Thunder Fiery.

Only three day-cycles had passed from the moment the Golden-Blue Dragon had met this black-and-red colossal beast until now. Yet in that short span, the Dragon Emperor had already advanced from the mythical level to the titan level.

Moreover, four titan-level colossal beasts had already fallen beneath its claws. The strongest among them, the Magma Giant with the furnace, had been comparable to the peak of the titan level, yet was slain with ease. In addition, every battle ended within a shockingly short time.

It was as if the Dragon Emperor wasn’t slaughtering titans, overlords of a region, but merely ordinary mythical colossal beasts.

Each time the Golden-Blue Dragon saw those mighty titans being ripped apart by the Dragon Emperor, it felt a burning heat surge through its body, its tail growing weak with excitement, a roaring urge to unleash a triumphant howl.

However, it reminded itself that it was the great Thorsafi—it had to remain graceful and couldn’t act like the loud, silly Saixitia, yelling all day long.

The Dragon Emperor swept a glance at the now empty surroundings before locking its gaze on the approaching Single-Horned Kunpeng with a low growl.

Big Horn, where is the good stuff you found?

The recovery abilities of a mythical colossal beast were astonishing. In just this short while, the Kunpeng’s broken wing had already regenerated. Hearing the question, it looked toward the massive crater below.

Thunder Fiery, it’s underground!

The collapsed mountain peak had vanished from the intense burning heat of the golden sun, leaving behind a crater over a dozen kilometers wide and more than six thousand meters deep.

The crater's base and surrounding rock walls had been crystallized into dark red, hardened surfaces under the high temperature and pressure, as if a meteor had crashed down.

Suddenly, a black-and-red tail blade, over a thousand meters long and wrapped in arcs of black-and-red lightning, came slashing down from the sky, tearing through the void. The moment it struck the ground, the earth quaked violently.

Boom!

The crater exploded outward, ripping open a chasm stretching over a hundred kilometers long and several kilometers wide, as countless rocks and soil flew in all directions.

Amid the billowing dust, the Dragon Emperor charged forward, followed by the Silver Dragon and other two beasts. Together, they dove into the chasm, following it thousands of meters down.

Beneath the surface, they found not molten magma, but a massive hollow cavern spanning several dozen kilometers, with countless void rifts crisscrossing the air. None of them could tell where these rifts led, but waves of pure energy surged from them, a hundred times richer than that of the outer world.

Amid them stretched six massive green tree roots, each hundreds or even thousands of meters long. Their surfaces were covered in dragon-scale-like textures, reaching from one void rift and disappearing into another.

They had no idea where these roots originated from, or which part of the void they penetrated. The so-called good stuff referred to the pure green light pulsing inside them, flowing like blood vessels and transporting nutrients.

At present, only three of the roots remained intact, their insides glittering with green conduits that radiated dense, pure energy. The other three were scarred and covered in bite marks, their inner energy having been devoured by the purple titan, and were now slowly recovering.

Even the thinnest root was over two hundred meters thick—one could hardly imagine how vast the main body of the tree was. Perhaps it exceeded a hundred thousand meters.

The Dragon Emperor glanced at the three intact roots and let out a deep growl.

These roots contain immense energy. Each of you take one.

No sooner had it spoken than the Silver Dragon shook its head in objection.

Ao Tian, you were the one who killed that titan. You should eat more.

That's right. We barely did anything this time. Just give Big Horn one, and you can have the rest.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon nodded in agreement.

Unlike human societies, the internal structure of colossal beast forces was simple and straightforward: strength ruled all, and it was an unspoken rule that rewards should match one's contributions.

The Dragon Emperor rumbled slowly.

Each of these roots carries energy roughly equivalent to a top-level divine fruit. Even if I ate them all, my improvement would be minimal. On the other hand, if you eat them, the effects will be more significant.

We'll be delving deeper into the Chaotic Region next. Your current strength is still too weak. You need to improve faster. Let's distribute them as I said.

With that, the Dragon Emperor flew upward, heading for the purple titan’s corpse.

This harvest was actually quite good—the three roots were roughly equivalent to three top-level divine treasures. They would be enough to help the Silver Dragon and the Golden-Blue Dragon break through to the middle stage of the mythical level.

Although the two colossal beasts had only recently reached the mythical level and hadn’t awakened any evolutionary abilities, they had consumed a large amount of resources during this time, including two high-level divine pearls nurtured by a titan-level Ancient Clam.

Adding in the roots they had just acquired, stacking resources alone would be enough to push them solidly into the middle stage of the mythical level.

The Kunpeng was progressing just as quickly. Following the Dragon Emperor had accelerated its growth immensely; with two more top-level divine fruits, it would likely also step into the middle stage of the mythical level.

Such high-level resources would make even titan-level colossal beasts envious, for consuming them would slightly boost their strength.

Unfortunately, while these roots were regenerative resources comparable in overall value to law-level divine treasures, the Dragon Emperor and the others had no time to remain here and guard them.

After distributing the three roots and returning to the surface, the Dragon Emperor stood before the purple titan’s corpse. It tore into the carcass with both claws and took a massive bite.

Boom!

The purple titan’s heavy, exoskeleton-like scales shattered from the force of the Dragon Emperor’s jaws, and its flesh ripped apart with a deep, thunderous boom.

For the Dragon Emperor, titan flesh remained the most nourishing. As it swallowed a huge mouthful of flesh, the searing biological energy filled with law particles exploded in its stomach, and its cells, like a dried-out desert, absorbed it madly.

Crack! Crack!

Its entire body echoed with the sound of grinding and stretching as its scales were slowly pushed upward by the swelling muscles and bones underneath, lengthening and growing larger.

Such was the terror of its evolutionary ability: any consumed flesh and blood could be immediately converted into biological energy to fuel its growth.

As the Dragon Emperor’s body grew and dense life aura radiated from it, the Purple Dragon lay comfortably sprawled atop its head, quietly absorbing the Dragon Emperor’s aura.

Owing to its natural abilities, and the fact that it had previously absorbed the Dragon Emperor’s life essence, it could absorb this ambient life force to strengthen itself.

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Dragon Emperor had noticed this, but didn’t mind. After all, if the Purple Dragon didn’t absorb it, the life aura would simply dissipate on its own, much like the body heat humans naturally radiated.

After more than an hour, the Silver Dragon, Golden-Blue Dragon, and Kunpeng emerged from underground, their bodies glowing faintly green.

The three colossal beasts had clearly grown stronger, their auras surging and their bodies visibly larger. The Silver Dragon’s size had increased from over 760 meters to more than 780 meters.

They glanced at the Dragon Emperor, which had already devoured nearly half of the purple titan’s flesh, then each found a small mountain to lie upon, beginning to digest the immense energy coursing through them.

The Silver Dragon, its belly round and full, let out a low growl filled with envy as it watched the black-and-red colossal beast consume huge chunks of flesh and send booming tremors through the ground.

Thorsafi, the great Saixitia has discovered Ao Tian looks incredibly fierce when it eats.

Laying lazily nearby, the Golden-Blue Dragon, whose belly was also full, growled back.

Saixitia, isn’t that obvious? Thunder Fiery has always been fierce.

In the Golden-Blue Dragon's eyes, the Dragon Emperor—covered in black-and-red scales, adorned with three rows of sharp dorsal fins, and boasting a sleek tail and a towering, muscular build—was akin to a handsome man among dragons.

It was simply impossible not to be drawn to its majesty, especially with its flowing mane and its ferocious, wide head.

The Golden-Blue Dragon then added,

But then again, you’re so dumb that it’s perfectly normal for you to only realize that now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be you.

At once, the Silver Dragon jumped to its feet, roaring furiously as sharp cold winds howled around it.

Damn you, Thorsafi! You called the great Saixitia an idiot again! Today I must teach you a lesson!

A great battle between colossal beasts was about to erupt. The Golden-Blue Dragon slowly stood up, raising its head proudly.

You, teach the great Thorsafi a lesson? Keep dreaming. You’ve never been my match since we were young. Today will be no different.

Hearing the Golden-Blue Dragon mention their past instantly stirred painful memories, and the Silver Dragon let out a furious roar.

Damn it! Today, the great Saixitia will beat you up good!

Boom! Boom!

The two colossal dragons, each over seven hundred meters long, roared and shot into the sky as twin streaks of light. Moments later, violent energy fluctuations exploded tens of thousands of meters high in the sky.

The sudden commotion left the distant Kunpeng stunned.

What’s going on? Aren't they supposed to be close mates? Why are they suddenly fighting?

Even the Dragon Emperor, who was busy feasting, raised its head slightly to glance upward.

So, those two have finally started fighting.
