Chapter 995: Time Is With Me, Luo Fei Flies Toward the Sun (I)

The Dragon Emperor led the colossal beast legion on an expedition to support the human race. Aside from Chen Chu, who remained in seclusion, no one else was aware of it for now.

Deep within the Chaotic Region, nearly a hundred colossal beasts were flying at full speed. Waves of principle pressure and fluctuations of law converged across the heavens and earth, and the formless aura they emitted shook the very skies.

At the forefront of the legion, eight colossal beasts radiating ancient-titan-level aura flew in formation. Leading them was a golden-black colossal beast with its wings fully spread.

The Destructive Dragon Emperor turned slightly, glancing at the Time Dragon, whose body was covered in white scales and wings shimmered with silvery radiance. It lowly growled,

Dragon King Kurapavida, you’ve had dealings with the Purgatory Demon Clan before. Do you know how far their territory is from the Chaotic Region?

Having once crossed paths during a direct confrontation with Deorus and another demon god, the Dragon Emperor saw no need to fabricate a pretense for asking. Clearly, this being had once made the journey across the Chaotic Region.

As a time-type colossal beast, Kurapavida had been merely at the titan level back then, but even so, its life-preserving capabilities surpassed many ancient titans. Whenever danger arose, it could simply slip into a temporal rift and escape.

The Time Dragon rumbled,

Very far. At our current speed, it would take about five star-hours to cross the Chaotic Region. Even if we flew in a straight line after that, the remaining journey would still take another day-cycle. However, the vast world is riddled with danger. Even we, as ancient titans, must be wary of the Black Sunset Sea and the Chaotic Starfield, both major forbidden zones in the middle of the route. If we choose to detour around them, the time required will stretch to one and a half day-cycles, assuming we don’t encounter any true-spirit-level beings along the way.

A heaviness flashed across the Time Dragon’s eyes, as though it had once been hunted by such a being during its wanderings.

Roughly two day-cycles of travel, then.

The Dragon Emperor nodded thoughtfully. That matched its initial estimation.

Earlier, as it crossed the Chaotic Region, the Dragon Emperor had sensed the soul coordinates and made a rough estimation of the distance between its colossal beast and human forms. Its conclusion was that it was very far, likely hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Of course, the Time Dragon’s calculation was based on the speed of the expeditionary force. A lone ancient titan, especially a draconic one, could probably arrive in a bit over ten days.

At present, the Dragon Emperor’s Chaotic End principle, which blanketed over a thousand kilometers, allowed the legion to maintain a cruising speed of roughly three hundred times the speed of sound, and they were bulldozing their way through. Any forbidden zone they encountered was smashed apart by the ancient titans, leaving them to rampage unimpeded.

As the Dragon Emperor sank into thought, the Time Dragon glanced at it, as well as at the Silver and Golden-Blue Colossal Dragons it carried on its back. Then it said,

Thunder Fiery, if you find the pace too slow, we can split the route and tear space in segments for faster leaps.

The Dragon Emperor came to, then shook its head slightly.

No need. Let’s proceed at this pace. This expedition’s danger lies not just in the Purgatory battlefield, but also on the road there. Since they’ve followed me into battle, I must take responsibility for their safety.

Ancient titans, with their command of principle-level power, could withstand many dangers across such a vast span, but the mythical- and titan-level beasts couldn’t. In the vast world, the mythical level was merely the beginning. One misstep could mean annihilation; the danger could come from the environment of forbidden zones, other stronger beasts, or even sudden natural disasters.

The Time Dragon’s segmented leap proposal referred to the ancient titans speeding ahead millions of kilometers, fixing coordinates there, and jointly tearing open large-scale spatial passages. If even the Purgatory Demon Clan could tear open space and teleport across millions of kilometers, then so could ancient titans like the Dragon Emperor.

However, under normal circumstances, ancient titans could only freely teleport up to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Anything farther required precise coordinates; without them, tearing space for long-range jumps could fling one into the depths of a spatial rift. There, even an ancient titan risked being shredded, its divine soul and true form scattered across space, and ultimately falling to death.

After all, the mythical world was not only boundless, but also filled with countless forbidden zones where the principles of heaven and earth had collapsed. Blind spatial leaps were suicide.

Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor wasn’t pressed for time. The final clash between humanity and the Purgatory Demon Clan wasn’t about to erupt just yet. It planned to use this time to hunt along the way, hoping to grow to the late stage of the ancient titan level before reaching the battlefield.

By then, once it entered its Endbringer form, its strength would surpass the middle stage of the true spirit level. Even if it couldn’t defeat the Primordial Ancestor, it would at least be able to retreat unscathed.

If it truly had to merge with its human form, and combine the late-stage colossal beast body with a beginning-stage human body, then its abilities, principles, and divine abilities would likely reach the primordial level. That power would be enough to suppress everything.

As for the problem of separating after fusion, that responsibility now lay with the Little Purple Dragon. At present, the Purple Dragon had already reached the beginning stage of the mythical level. Its Creation ability had evolved into the Law of Creation, but it still lacked a trace of the true Creation Origin required to separate the human and beast forms.

Therefore, during the upcoming journey, the Dragon Emperor needed to find a way to raise the little one’s strength to the titan level. With a perfected Law of Creation, and if the Purple Dragon risked everything by igniting itself and unleashing its origin power, that could potentially be enough for Chen Chu and the Dragon Emperor to separate once more.

If even that failed, then they would have to expend their primordial origin and forcibly push the Purple Dragon to the ancient titan level.

This divine transformation ability was Chen Chu’s ultimate trump card for breaking through to the eternal realm in the future. As such, even with the Purple Dragon present, he wouldn’t attempt fusion unless absolutely necessary.

Thus, on the human side, the goal now was to delay the outbreak of the final battle for as long as possible; or more accurately, to avoid provoking the Purgatory demon gods, so none of them, in desperation, would sacrifice themselves to forcibly awaken the Primordial Ancestor.

The advantage lay with the Dragon Emperor. As long as they could stretch time by a day-cycle or two, just enough for it to evolve further, then humanity would be guaranteed victory in this war.

After carefully calculating the power on both sides, and accounting for possible variables, the Dragon Emperor let out a deafening roar and charged straight into the spatial rift of the forbidden zone ahead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nearly a hundred massive colossal beasts surged in behind it, diving into the forbidden zone with earth-shaking explosions before vanishing without a trace.
