Chapter 872: King of Sky and Void, Meeting The Great Dragon King (I)

The depths of the Chaotic Region, a domain cloaked in dimness and pressure, grew increasingly turbulent with raging void storms the farther one ascended.

At the fringes of the gray currents that severed both time and space—currents so dangerous even ancient titans found them threatening—two colossal dragons and a Kunpeng spiraled in flight, circling a far larger black-and-red colossal beast.

All three beasts had turned their gaze forward. Amid the deadly gray currents, eight monstrous colossal beasts, each ranging from ten to twenty kilometers in length and resembling floating islands, swam leisurely through the chaos.

These beasts resembled manta rays, bearing a pair of wings as wide as their bodies were long. Despite their vast wingspan, their thickest body segments were no more than a kilometer across. Their heads were flat and wide, with mouths connected to hollow pectoral fins. On either side of their heads protruded bony horns, akin to demonic spikes.

Their long, narrow tails accounted for a third of their body length, and their entire bodies were covered in gray scales. As they lightly flapped their wings, waves of air currents surged outward, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

Despite their staggering size, their auras remained at the titan level, and their massive bodies, suspended in vacuum like inflated balloons, belied their actual frailty. They were imposing in form, yet hollow within.

These colossal beasts kept their mouths perpetually open, filter-feeding by gulping in and expelling the gray currents to absorb some unknown form of energy material. The filtered remnants spewed from vents along their bodies and rears, resembling jets of steam.

When the destructive gray currents struck them, it was like ocean waves crashing against a reef. They were visually dramatic, but ultimately harmless.

The Silver Colossal Dragon opened its maw wide, visibly shaken.

Those beasts are powerful. They're actually capable of surviving in these chaotic destruction currents.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon growled deeply with a grave tone.

They must have been born in this forbidden zone. Their bodies and powers are naturally compatible with the chaotic destruction currents, which is why they can survive here.

Just as oceans nurtured fish and the earth gave rise to birds and beasts, unique environments could likewise spawn lifeforms perfectly attuned to them. Even the perilous zones the Destructive Dragon Emperor had bulldozed through earlier were home to powerful creatures with unique abilities. Some of the larger ones had been devoured without hesitation.

The Single-Horned Kunpeng’s eyes lit up as it stared excitedly at the beasts, fixated on the clusters of gray crystals adorning their heads.

Thunder Fiery, Thunder Fiery, those beasts have something good. Those shiny things on their heads are definitely worth eating.

Good stuff?

The Dragon Emperor raised its head slightly, casting its gaze toward the colossal beasts over a thousand kilometers away. For the Kunpeng to be this excited, those crystals must be at least law-level natural treasures. However, oddly enough, those things had grown on the beasts’ heads.

Wooo!

Sensing the chill in the Dragon Emperor’s gaze, the ray-like beasts at the edge of the gray region turned to look back, emitting long, horn-like wails reminiscent of steam whistles.

In terms of size, the distant dragons and Kunpeng, each only about a kilometer long, were like toddlers before giants. Even the mighty Dragon Emperor was like a three-year-old child beside a grown man in comparison to those floating colossal beasts.

Even though the Dragon Emperor’s aura had reached the late stage of the titan level, the ray-like beasts paid it no heed, continuing to drift serenely through the gray currents. Watching those beasts slowly swim deeper into the gray flow, the Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.

Saixitia, wait here. I’ll go take a look.

The Silver Dragon’s eyes were filled with concern.

Ao Tian, be careful.

Don't worry. These currents can't hurt me.

Boom!

The mountainous Dragon Emperor vanished in a flash. The ground over hundreds of kilometers around where it had previously stood shattered like it had been struck by a comet, and a ring of lava erupted thousands of meters high, flying in all directions.

It annihilated everything in its path as it charged headlong into a spatial rift. The moment it crossed into the forbidden gray zone, the gray currents sensed the intrusion of a foreign energy and material, and surged like a living organism.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The currents transformed into streams of liquefied metal, carrying immense destructive and corrosive properties. The moment they approached the Dragon Emperor, its Thunder Fiery Domain was instantly melted away.

Or rather, the gray currents completely bypassed the law domain, crashing directly into the Dragon Emperor and bursting into radiant halos of multicolored light. Across the thick scale armor of its body, intricate black markings flowed, forming a unique field that dissolved all energy and rendered it impervious to all laws.

Even these gray currents, imbued with a hint of chaos, failed to shake the Dragon Emperor’s terrifying defenses. As their energies collided and canceled out, the impact sent shockwaves reverberating across the starry void.

Though the gray currents were overwhelmingly powerful, they couldn’t truly harm the Dragon Emperor. Even ancient-titan-level colossal beasts could retreat safely as long as they didn’t venture several thousand kilometers deep.

However, for beasts like the Silver Dragon, the extreme corrosive force of these currents was unbearable. That was why the Dragon Emperor had initially planned to take a detour. What it hadn’t expected was to encounter these colossal beasts, nor that those very beasts would bear a wealth of precious natural treasures upon them.

Under such circumstances, the Dragon Emperor naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass. Though these beasts’ bodies were much like vacuum-inflated spheres with little actual flesh, consuming them all would still be the equivalent of devouring a beginning-stage ancient titan.

Wooo!

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As a black-and-red colossal beast surged through the gray currents with stunning speed, the ray-like giants that had already ventured over a thousand kilometers deep into the flow erupted in startled and furious roars.

They were shocked that this titan-level beast could ignore the chaotic destruction currents, and infuriated that a mere titan would dare to challenge them.

All eight beasts immediately flapped their wings, reversing course as violent torrents erupted from their bodies. At the tail end, two middle-stage titan-level rays released surging waves of energy.

Boom! Boom!

Two gray bubbles, each a kilometer in diameter and nearly solid in form, shot from their mouths like massive cannon shells, traveling at a hundred times the speed of sound toward the Dragon Emperor. After they launched, the bubbles began spinning at rapid speeds, whipping the surrounding gray currents into cyclonic whirlpools spanning dozens of kilometers.

They were just the beginning. The moment the chaotic bubbles were fired, all eight colossal beasts erupted with a powerful gray light. One after another, bubbles were launched in a barrage.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of gray bubbles filled the sky. They stirred the gray current across thousands of kilometers, blotting out the heavens and completely engulfing the Dragon Emperor, which had no time to evade.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heaven and earth shattered, and the entire region trembled. Each chaotic bubble burst with a force equal to a full-power strike from a titan-level beast, brimming with an overwhelming, corrosive, destructive nature.

The bombardment of hundreds of such blasts released violent energy shockwaves, blasting apart the surrounding currents and creating a massive vacuum zone spanning thousands of kilometers.

A tyrannical and awe-inspiring roar thundered through the void, shaking the very heavens. As the shockwaves violently dispersed, a black-and-red figure burst forth at a speed too fast for consciousness to register, appearing in front of a ray-beast over 18,000 meters long.

Boom!

A claw wreathed in black and red lightning lashed out, and the colossal gray beast let out a shriek of agony as half its scale armor shattered and its flesh exploded. Roaring currents blasted its broken form more than a hundred kilometers away.
