Chapter 812: The Midgard Serpent, the Rubbing Colossal Dragons (I)

Above a windswept desert besieged by wild sandstorms, the Silver Colossal Dragon, its wings spanning over 1,500 meters and body extending more than 800 meters, soared with a storm swirling around it, keeping the sandstorm at bay nearly ten kilometers away.

Within its domain, a massive black-and-red colossal beast drifted slowly through the air like a mountain in motion, while the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon flew alongside it on the opposite side.

The Single-Horned Kunpeng led the way at the edge of the domain, its blue horn probing for signs of natural treasures that were potentially hidden nearby. Suddenly, its horn began to emit rings of radiant light.

Thunder Fiery, Thunder Fiery, I’ve found something good again!

the Single-Horned Kunpeng chirped in excitement, slamming its enormous tail and setting off shockwaves that blasted the air behind it.

However, the Dragon Emperor paid no heed to its cries. It continued flying ahead, exuding majesty and dominance as its thick black mane fluttered in the wind.

Perched atop its enormous head, the Little Purple Dragon blinked its wide eyes.

Big Brother’s disconnected again. Big Horn, you lead the way.

Follow me, everyone!

With that, the Kunpeng flapped its massive wings, and its nearly eight-hundred-meter-long body surged forward, diving headlong into the blinding sandstorm ahead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fist-sized gravel hurtled in at supersonic speed, bombarding the Kunpeng’s unshielded body like a barrage of bullets. Its thick black scales, however, remained utterly unmoved; instead, the sand and stone shattered into dust upon impact.

Even when boulders the size of buildings slammed into it, the Kunpeng didn’t bother to dodge. Explosions erupted all around as it charged straight through, heading for the storm’s heart.

Only then did the Dragon Emperor’s gaze stir slightly, and it let out a deep, resonant growl.

Another treasure? Let’s go.

Boom!

Its black-metallic wings beat once, rippling the surrounding space, and its massive frame surged forward amid thunderous shockwaves.

It had been several days since they slew the purple titan. Along the way, the Kunpeng’s treasure-hunting ability had uncovered several rare finds, and each of the colossal beasts had strengthened significantly.

At the same time, due to Chen Chu once again being caught in a space-time turbulence, the Dragon Emperor’s signal had been flickering and unstable, often going offline. The other beasts had grown quite used to it.

Charge, Big Brother! The great Yiyi wants to see rivers of blood!

Atop the black-and-red beast’s head, the ten-meter-long Purple Dragon sat coiled on the tip of a massive black horn, waving its little claws with a childish roar.

The Silver Dragon responded immediately with a proud, thunderous cry.

Yes, let’s slaughter and devour everything!

The Golden-Blue Dragon echoed from the other side, letting out a brutal howl.

Charge! Slaughter everything!

Two colossal dragons roared in unison, and the Dragon Emperor’s mouth twitched slightly.

Why is the Dragon Palace starting to sound more and more like a bandit den?

All it heard now was "slaughter everything" or "take everything," always with rivers of blood, and the slogans shouted by its underlings—”fucking awesome,” “badass,” and more—were getting increasingly vulgar.

The deeper they ventured into the storm that blanketed thousands of kilometers, the stronger the winds became. The sand flew faster, and by the time they approached the central region, the stone particles were moving at more than twenty times the speed of sound.

With such immense kinetic force, some rocks, harder than steel, began glowing with plasma fire, creating a blue-violet sandstorm that looked capable of destroying the world.

In this brutal environment, even the previously fearless Kunpeng finally activated its domain and slipped into the shadows, becoming a phantom drifting like mist in a ten-kilometer-wide band of darkness.

In this phantom form, even the fearsome sand and gravel simply passed through its dark domain unhindered.

The Silver Dragon, meanwhile, remained cloaked in its own black storm domain, which was constantly blasted as if by hundreds of thousands of missiles. The violent explosions caused its domain to tremble furiously.

In this situation, the Silver Dragon’s internal energy was burning at a staggering rate, and its domain’s range was steadily shrinking.

The heart of this sandstorm was a forbidden zone—one so lethal that even mythical colossal beasts could be gravely wounded or killed if they let their guard down.

The Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.

Let me take the lead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions from the colliding sand and rocks engulfed the Dragon Emperor, rattling the heavens and drowning out the howling wind. However, even this apocalyptic bombardment failed to move its massive body in the slightest.

Dozens of meters away from its skin, an invisible and crushingly heavy force field twisted the space around it. The sand and stone were pulverized before they could even get close, annihilated by the sheer weight of the force.

Led by the Dragon Emperor, the beasts pushed forward, quickly crossing over a thousand kilometers and arriving at the storm’s very heart.

Here, the wind abruptly died down, revealing a several-kilometer-wide pocket of stillness surrounded by sky-high, blue-violet tornado walls.

At the very center spun a massive vortex of yellow air, dense and almost solid. Every wisp exuded a pressure as heavy as a mountain, interwoven with profound, arcane patterns of law.

The Kunpeng immediately perked up with an excited squeak.

What is that? It smells so good, so fragrant!

Even the Dragon Emperor's eyes lit up.

That is earth law origin imbued with Profound Yellow Qi. Though it’s somewhat chaotic, in terms of quality, it’s already close to a law-level divine item.

Most importantly, there’s enough of it to equal over a dozen top-level divine items. After absorption, the earth's origin it contains can greatly enhance the strength of our physical bodies.

The Silver Dragon bellowed in excitement,

Nicely done, Big Horn!

It then joyfully flew forward. Its claws, entwined with black storm currents, reached out.

Psssh!

The heavy stream of law origin was torn apart and split into five uneven clumps floating mid-air.

Ao Tian, you’re the Dragon Palace’s top combat power, and your energy conversion rate is the highest. Take the biggest share. The rest we’ll divide among us.

This time, it was the Silver Dragon, who was the great dragon king of the Dragon Palace, who orchestrated the division, giving the Dragon Emperor half of the total share.

The remaining half was split among the rest; the Silver Dragon, Golden-Blue Dragon, and Purple Dragon received one-tenth each, and the Kunpeng, the treasure-finding contributor, was granted two-tenths.

None of the beasts objected to this division, not even the Dragon Emperor. Staring at the yellow vortex, now restored to a hundred-meter diameter, it opened its massive jaws, releasing a powerful suction force and slurping the earth law origin down like it was noodles.

Boom!

The moment the origin filled with Profound Yellow Qi entered its stomach, a heavy, mountain-like force exploded from within.

Crack! Crack!

Bathed in this dense, pure origin energy, the Dragon Emperor’s body began to swell, expanding as if it had consumed golden fertilizer. Thanks to the earth law particles' enhancement, the Dragon Emperor’s flesh, bones, and even its scales all grew stronger.

...Albeit, by just a sliver. For a creature with such a powerful physique, this enhancement was like going from 10,000 to 10,001. What truly changed was its size, from 2,380 meters to 2,410 meters.

As the Dragon Emperor’s frame creaked and grew larger, the Purple Dragon began to let out an excited howl, only for its soft childish voice to suddenly transform into a majestic dragon’s cry. A thirty-meter-long purple dragon head emerged and promptly swallowed its portion of origin in one gulp.

Delicious!

The Purple Dragon’s head quickly shrank again as it gleefully rubbed its round belly and flew back to perch atop the Dragon Emperor’s head, nestling into a gap between its black-and-red scales with content.

The Silver Dragon and the other two colossal beasts also swallowed their shares of the earth law origin. In an instant, powerful energy erupted within their bodies, and their aura surged upward.

However, unlike the Dragon Emperor, who quickly completed absorption, their bodies glowed with a rich yellow light. At least a day or two would be needed before full assimilation.

Let’s go. Time to move on,

the Dragon Emperor growled.

Boom!

It moved again, blasting open a black tunnel two kilometers wide through the sandstorm. Invisible forces filled the passage, preventing it from closing anytime soon.

The black-and-red colossal beast quickly led the group of giant beasts through the rest of the sandstorm region.

Once they emerged on the other side, the Dragon Emperor slowed its pace and let out a low growl.

Big Horn, lead the way again.

Leave it to me!

The Kunpeng flew confidently to the front, its blue horn releasing wave after wave of scanning ripples as it carefully sensed everything in the world around it.

Originally, its horn could filter seawater and sense natural treasures within a few kilometers. Later, it evolved to also filter air, expanding its range to several dozen kilometers.

After breaking through to the mythical level, its ability had evolved again. It was now able to filter fluctuations in the power of heaven and earth, and sense transcendent energy concentration and flow across thousands of kilometers.

Under such conditions, even if natural treasures were hidden in spatial cracks or buried deep in forbidden zones, they couldn’t escape the Kunpeng's perception. Sometimes, if the treasure’s scent was strong enough, it could even faintly smell it from tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Of course, this kind of faint perception often resulted in errors. As a result, the colossal beasts wandered back and forth for tens of thousands of kilometers without gaining anything of value over the next day or so.

Within a region shrouded in black mist, a massive rift stretched over a thousand kilometers across the land. Below, torrents of mist gushed upward, filling the skies with a stench of rot and danger.

Boom!

𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

A hundred-meter-wide breath of white icy frost blasted forward. In the blink of an eye, dazzling white light exploded, and the spreading frost sealed everything in place, creating a frozen area over a hundred kilometers wide.

Boom!

Just then, a blast of rainbow-colored dragon breath pierced through heaven and earth, crashing down at the center of the frozen region. A second, even more intense explosion followed, bursting with blinding light and forming solidified crystal structures.

The twin blasts of dragon breath froze the canyon’s center solid, forming a crystalline passage over a hundred kilometers wide, through which a faintly fishy breeze drifted.

At the edge, the Kunpeng’s horn flickered with pulses of light, and it let out an excited squeak.

Saixitia, I smell it! That good stuff is just across the way, and it smells like there’s a lot!

A day had passed since they absorbed the earth law origin, and the Silver Dragon, now grown to over 850 meters in length, roared with delight.

Nicely done, Big Horn!

Atop the Dragon Emperor’s head, the Purple Dragon gripped one of its horns with an impatient cry.

Let’s go, charge!
