Chapter 914: Civilization Destroyed, Dragon Emperor Awakened (III)

As the three colossal beasts watched on, the chaotic, multicolored sea in the distance surged continuously. Within it, a power woven from ten different laws slowly began to take form, growing more terrifying with each passing moment. The invisible radiance of principle lit up the surrounding area. Words like "great" and "brilliant" couldn’t begin to describe it.

These ten high-level laws condensed into a single unified principle. Except for the Dark-Red Power, which came from the Dark-Red World, the other nine originated from evolved innate abilities through divine transformation. Each one was stronger than an ordinary high-level law.

This kind of power, formed by the fusion of such overwhelming laws, was frightening even to imagine. Throughout the entire recorded history of the mythical world, no power like this had ever appeared.

Breaking through to the ancient level using ten fully mastered high-level laws required a level of talent and soul-bearing capacity that a titan-level colossal beast simply shouldn’t possess. In truth, not even true-spirit-level colossal beasts were typically capable of comprehending, much less carrying, ten high-level laws.

From within the chaotic, multicolored sea, a roar erupted. It was majestic and fiercely savage, shaking heaven and earth. A moment later, an even more terrifying aura erupted into the sky. The earth exploded across hundreds of kilometers, sending countless rocks flying. Before they could rise more than a few dozen meters, however, an invisible force that filled the heavens and earth pressed down and froze them in place.

The Silver Colossal Dragon, still spinning with excitement in the air, and the Single-Horned Kunpeng were no exception. They, too, slammed down with a loud crash, becoming firmly crushed against the ground. Before this awakened creature, no living being dared remain in the air. Every one of them was forced to the ground, and could only gaze upward in awe.

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, on the other hand, had already been lying down to begin with. When the pressure of that law-infused force descended, it simply crushed the mountain beneath its belly.

Then came a long, steady breath that echoed through heaven and earth. With each inhale and exhale, the entire world stirred in response. This resonance continued for half an hour.

Boom!

From within the chaotic, multicolored sea, the aura surged once more.

Roar!

The sea shook violently. Amid the roaring, a dark-golden mountain range slowly rose from the depths, stretching thousands of kilometers. Its fierce appearance matched the Destructive Dragon Emperor in every detail.

Fine dark-golden scales covered its entire body. Rows of sharp spikes extended backward like a mane, while two pairs of forked horns and three pairs of coral-like feathery horns grew from its head.

Between the gaps in the scales along its head and neck, strands of glowing dragon mane hairs began to emerge, shimmering like light itself.

The dark-golden mountain range had come to life and taken on the form of the Dragon Emperor. Or rather, under the power of principle, the Dragon Emperor had merged completely with the mountain range.

It slowly turned to glance at the Silver Dragon and the others. Then, the massive dark-golden dragon gradually retreated back into the multicolored sea. As the Dragon Emperor continued to transform, the anomalies in the area only grew more intense.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sound like shattering glass rang out. Tens of thousands of kilometers above the sea, high in the blue dome of the sky, the heavens began to collapse. The space there shattered like solid crystal, breaking into transparent fragments that scattered in all directions. A pitch-black hole, ten thousand kilometers wide, opened in the sky. Inside, golden thunderbolts leapt and danced.

In an instant, a pressure descended that made even the Silver Dragon and the others tremble. It felt like the eye of the Heavenly Dao, gazing down from above with a cold and indifferent stare, observing all from its lofty height. What made it even more terrifying were the leaping golden thunderbolts. They gave off an invisible aura of absolute destruction that made all living beings instinctively recoil in fear.

Under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, the entire world began to tremble. The ground rose and fell like waves, and rings of white shockwaves surged outward in every direction, sweeping across a million kilometers.

The sudden change startled all three beasts. The Silver Dragon, pinned tightly to the ground, struggled to lift its head and glared fiercely at the gaping hole in the sky.

Damn it! Whoever’s up there, are you trying to stop Ao Tian from breaking through?

The Golden-Blue Dragon let out a breath, clearly exasperated.

...Saixitia, that’s just the power of Thunder Fiery’s breakthrough. It’s too strong, and it triggered a response from the world’s principles. It has no consciousness. Besides, that thing represents the will of the vast world’s natural order. Don’t go shouting at it.

In the end, the Golden-Blue Dragon couldn’t help but remind the Silver Dragon. After all, it didn’t want this idiot to get struck dead by a thunderbolt.

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon shrank its neck. This thing wasn’t something you messed with. Not unless the Dragon Emperor one day grew strong enough to blow up the entire vast world.

Just then, the hole high in the sky burst with blinding light. A golden pillar formed from thunderbolts, a thousand kilometers wide, shot down from the heavens like a divine spear. The sky shattered and the ground gave way. It felt as if the entire world were being crushed beneath that pillar of light, which carved out a golden passage surrounded by a swirling hole.

Faced with a strike powerful enough to destroy an entire ordinary world, the multicolored sea roared. A massive dark-golden dragon claw, hundreds of kilometers wide, shot upward into the sky. Between its talons swirled strands of murky energy, each radiating an aura that could suppress space-time and annihilate all things.

Boom!

In an instant, the golden pillar of light engulfed the dragon claw and plunged into the chaotic sea. The next moment, endless golden thunderbolts erupted, spreading across an area tens of thousands of kilometers wide. Under the sheer, overwhelming force, even the multicolored sea that was nurturing a supreme principle began to tremble violently.

Suddenly, a thin bolt of golden lightning burst forth, snaking across ten thousand kilometers in a streak of light. It struck the Silver Dragon at a speed too fast for consciousness to register.

Roar!

A pained, blood-curdling scream echoed through the air. The Silver Dragon’s internal laws and bloodline abilities collapsed instantly, and shards of translucent silver scales shattered across its body. Its tail jolted upward, stiff as a rod. All four limbs splayed out, convulsing wildly, and its body blackened gradually.

Saixitia! Are you okay?

The Golden-Blue Dragon roared, straining under the pressure.

The Silver Dragon trembled violently for over ten minutes before finally coughing out a puff of black smoke and weakly growling,

I’m fine... still alive.

The Golden-Blue Dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief, then narrowed its eyes with a hint of schadenfreude.

I told you not to talk nonsense. Hurts now, doesn’t it?

Not far away, the Kunpeng folded its wings a little tighter. Thankfully, it had hesitated earlier and didn’t join Saixitia in yelling.

Suddenly, a fierce and majestic dragon's roar erupted across the heavens, shaking the entire multicolored sea. The massive dark-golden dragon head, as large as a mountain range, slowly rose once more. Compared to before, the Dragon Emperor’s head had grown slightly smaller, but its features were now clearer, and a faint dark-red sheen glowed across its scales.

The hole in the sky trembled once more. A far more powerful aura surged out as countless golden thunderbolts gathered and compressed. They gradually formed an enormous, boundless, golden divine sword, its tip pointed straight at the Dragon Emperor below.

Without a sound, the golden greatsword, ten thousand kilometers long, fell from the sky like divine judgment. Radiating a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world, it appeared above the Dragon Emperor in an instant.

Boom!

The chaotic sea collapsed under the force of that unimaginable power. The dark-golden mountain range, now reduced to just over five thousand kilometers, shattered completely and exploded into fragments. Countless pieces of dark-golden material were annihilated by the golden sword light, and even principles were cut apart by its radiant power.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As the sword light from the Heavenly Punishment washed over it, the Dragon Emperor howled toward the sky, its body gradually disintegrating. Yet its aura grew even more terrifying, as if something unimaginably powerful within it was about to burst forth.

The invisible force released by that strike of Heavenly Punishment destroyed everything around it. Sharp and filled with the essence of destruction, the attack nearly reduced all of heaven and earth to chaos. The sheer force of its power fluctuations left the Silver Dragon and the others trembling in fear, completely unable to resist.

No one knew how long the strike lasted. Only when the towering golden light finally faded, and the supreme will that had looked down on all life disappeared, did the Golden-Blue Dragon slowly let out a breath and lift its head.

In the distance, the chaotic rainbow sea had completely vanished, replaced by a vast zone of darkness and destruction stretching tens of thousands of kilometers. Within the raging currents of annihilation, a massive ring of light spanning ten thousand kilometers slowly rotated, releasing a heavy, destructive aura that seemed capable of crushing the heavens.

At the center of that ring of principle, a monstrous black-and-red beast lay coiled. Its body was savage, massive, and filled with an overwhelming presence.
