Chapter 819: True Name Reaction, Return to the Blue Planet (II)

Beyond the titan level, the paths of colossal beasts and human cultivators began to overlap. At this stage, the goal was to fuse all laws, abilities, and powers one had mastered.

However, this fusion wasn’t just mechanical insertion—it involved the deep merging of the law origins themselves. Each fusion of laws at the same level would double the foundational might, compounding exponentially.

In such a state, one could unleash their law's ultimate techniques with explosive force up to dozens of times greater than usual, and their lethal combat skills became even more devastating.

That was why kings of the same level who had mastered three or four laws were vastly stronger than those who had only grasped one or two, and they had far more techniques at their disposal.

However, this fusion of laws only doubled power when merging laws of the same level. The lower the level of the merged law, the smaller the amplification. High-level laws only increased their power by 1.2 times when fused with low-level laws, and 1.5 times with middle-level laws.

This was also the reason the Dragon Emperor could experience a massive realm leap in strength when entering its Dark-Red Form. This form fused nine high-level laws—something only ancient titans typically possessed. Combined with the twentyfold boost to its base power and defense from its colossal form expansion, this allowed it to battle ancient titans head-on.

However, once it advanced to the ancient titan level, the Dark-Red Form’s amplification would be limited to the sheer increase in size. The advantage of law fusion would then be neutralized.

This was, in fact, how things should be. After all, the Dark-Red Power derived from the Gigantification ability was still just a high-level law, not even at the supreme level. That it could currently enhance power this much was due only to the Dragon Emperor’s overwhelming foundation.

Though the advantage of law fusion would diminish after reaching the ancient titan level, that didn’t mean the Dragon Emperor would grow weaker. On the contrary, only after stepping into the ancient titan level would the full potential of its body and laws be fully unleashed—when it would wield principles and suppress all.

The two Stone Hearts it had just consumed were equivalent to the flesh and blood of two titan-level beasts. They caused the Dragon Emperor’s body to grow in one breath to 2,700 meters in length.

Phew!

its increasingly enormous form stood tall amid the blazing chaotic currents. With each breath, it exhaled waves of burning air. The lightning and fire entwining its body gradually receded as it let out a deep, resonant growl.

Jormungandr, I’m leaving.

Boom!

The space beneath the Dragon Emperor’s feet, not yet fully healed, shattered again. Its massive form vanished in a flash and reappeared at the edge of the void a thousand kilometers away, using both claws to tear through the world’s barrier. The entire gray rock world shook once more as the Dragon Emperor ripped open a rift tens of thousands of meters long.

Ao Tian, you’re not going to kill that beast after all?

Seeing the black-and-red colossal beast reemerge from the fog into the void, the Silver Colossal Dragon, the Single-Horned Kunpeng, and the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon all flew over with puzzled expressions.

Due to the world fragment’s barrier, they had only been able to see the flashes of the battle, including the final earth-shaking blow, but hadn’t heard any of the conversation between the two beasts.

Jormungandr showed considerable strength and earned my recognition. I’ve already invited it to join the Dragon Palace.

With a low growl, the Dragon Emperor briefly summarized what had occurred, including how the Python couldn’t leave for now due to its world refinement.

After hearing this, the Silver Dragon became visibly excited.

Ao Tian, you’re incredible! An ancient titan has actually become a subordinate of the great Saixitia!

Roar! Roar!

The Silver Dragon circled excitedly around the Dragon Emperor, releasing joyful howls.

When my mother hears about this, she’s going to be shocked out of her scales!

As it continued to circle proudly, the Golden-Blue Dragon looked on in a daze. Its own mother had reached the late stage of the titan level. The Silver Dragon’s mother, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, was even stronger, already half a step into the ancient titan level and on the verge of its final breakthrough.

To them, still recently ascended mythical colossal dragons, their mothers were godlike existences at the pinnacle of strength. Yet now, their Dragon Palace had tamed an ancient titan as a subordinate. The pace of change had been so rapid, the two young dragons were swept with emotion.

Though the Dragon Emperor had previously defeated the ancient creature, exhausting its energy until death, that earlier shock paled in comparison to the awe of witnessing the taming of a living ancient beast.

Looking at the enormous, black-and-red beast before them, the Golden-Blue Dragon’s tail trembled from excitement.

Thunder Fiery is too powerful. Just a few day-cycles ago, when I met Saixitia and was introduced, the beast had only recently stepped into the mythical level. To have grown this terrifyingly fast, with such overwhelming strength... if we were to have a hatchling together...

While the Golden-Blue Dragon drifted off in thought, the Single-Horned Kunpeng flapped over eagerly, letting out a string of high-pitched squeaks.

Thunder Fiery! Thunder Fiery! You’re amazing, beating that huge beast into submission! What a shame Baxia and Ghidorah weren’t around to see how freakin’ awesome you were.

After enjoying the flattery of its junior beasts for a while, the Dragon Emperor finally let out a low growl.

Saixitia, Jormungandr is now the ninth dragon king of the empire, titled the World-Entwining Serpent. All dragon kings stand as equals in rank. There’s no such thing as whose subordinate is whose—understood?

Don’t worry, Ao Tian! The great Saixitia isn’t stupid.

The Silver Colossal Dragon replied. It understood the Dragon Emperor’s point, to maintain reverence toward power. After all, Jormungandr was an ancient titan, two major realms above its current stage. If angered, it could easily devour a younger dragon like it in one bite.

Alright, let’s go.

A ferocious and majestic dragon roar echoed across the void as the Dragon Emperor spread its colossal wings, over four thousand meters wide and blanketing the sky as it surged toward the depths of the void.

Roar! Roar!

The Silver Dragon and Golden-Blue Dragon also let out high-pitched roars, spreading their wings and circling around the Dragon Emperor, whose immense form towered like a mountain.

As the Dragon Emperor broke through to the middle stage of the titan level, the feedback from its ascension caused a tremor in Chen Chu in another dimension. Strands of evolutionary energy surged forth in an endless stream. His physical body grew even stronger from the miraculous energy’s enhancement, and the unseen aura radiating from him caused the once-still lake below to tremble faintly.

This human’s strength has increased again!

Far off in the void, a white colossal dragon, over three thousand meters long, lay sprawled across space. Its massive eyes revealed a trace of numb astonishment as it watched the ever-rising aura around him.

Amid the chaotic intersection of time and space, Chen Chu had already been in seclusion for over two months. During this time, his aura had steadily climbed, and his growth rate was so shocking that even the Time Dragon found it difficult to comprehend that such a monstrous race could exist in this world.

Faint silvery phantom wings, each spanning over a kilometer, appeared around Chen Chu, madly absorbing the dense power of time surrounding him. Behind him, a transparent stream stretched a thousand meters long, atop which nine overlapping figures of himself stood still. Time trembled where they converged, emanating an overwhelming aura.

The ninth figure, though still slightly blurred, was rapidly solidifying before the naked eye. After over two months of seclusion, and with an abundance of time power condensed, his Mark of Temporal Reincarnation was nearing completion.

In addition, while the time hollow was cut off from normal space-time and lacked transcendent energy, Chen Chu could directly draw power from the chaotic void due to becoming an Innate Demon God. Without the suppression of a declination era's principles, he had gradually advanced his True Demon God Form and his laws beyond the late stage of the mythical level.

Only his supreme law remained hindered due to the sealing of his planar world, which would require assistance from the First Councilor and others to unseal once he returned to the Blue Planet.

As time continued to pass, the ninth phantom behind him grew ever clearer. When it finally condensed completely, an overwhelming aura of reincarnation spread outward.

Boom!

The once-calm time hollow began to quake wildly, and the lake surged, startling even the Time Dragon.

Roar!

The Time Dragon howled as blinding silver light burst from its body and froze everything in its path, including the trembling of time itself. Yet even within this frozen time domain, the stream behind Chen Chu still flowed, radiating an independent aura of reincarnation. Nine figures stood tall above it, vivid as reality—each seemingly from a different point in time.

The Time Dragon roared,

Human, restrain your time ability! If both of our forces collide, this hollow will shatter!

With his black hair draped over his shoulders, Chen Chu gave a faint smile. "My apologies, Your Highness. My ability just advanced—I lost control of my aura for a moment."

As he spoke, he willed the silvery phantom wings around him to fade, and the stream and nine marks behind him transformed into silver light, flowing into his forehead and dyeing nine locks of his hair silver.

Each lock contained twenty to thirty hairs, and with nine of them interwoven with his black hair, Chen Chu’s aura seemed more mature, imbued with a touch of weathered melancholy.

As Chen Chu retracted the Temporal Reincarnation, the Time Dragon also slowly withdrew its power over its time principle, and the lake below once again fell calm.
