In the dim world, a waterfall thousands of meters tall and hundreds of meters wide cascaded from the sky. It crashed into the ocean below, splashing water in every direction and causing an endless rumble.
At the base of the waterfall was a massive horizontal black rift that stretched for hundreds of meters. Inside it stood a vast landmass, spanning several hundred kilometers.
The mountain ranges on the land twisted and turned, and its rivers intertwined, converging into a lake that stretched over a hundred miles. Faint silhouettes of alien mermaids could be seen flickering around the lake.
In the surrounding forests and near the lake, over a hundred colossal beasts were entrenched. They were 100 to 300 meters long and exuded powerful level 8 and level 9 auras.
Due to the volatile environment, the colossal beasts seemed restless and violent, frequently roaring and even battling themselves.
The most formidable among them were two colossal beasts. They were 300 meters long and radiated quasi-mythical power.
One was a black-scaled serpent with three dragon heads, while the other resembled a wild boar with tusks covered in gray scales and spanning over a hundred meters.
The massive creatures were like walking mountains; their movements shook the ground and swayed trees, making an awe-inspiring spectacle.
At the heart of the land was a majestic mountain that was over 20,000 meters tall and had clouds swirling around it. Atop it perched a colossal beast resembling a 1500-meter-long giant tiger with sharp horns and yellow scales.
Having awakened the ancient bloodline of the fierce Bi'an[1], the beast’s aura was overwhelming. With every breath, strong winds howled across a ten-kilometer radius, shaking the mountain.
The Bi'an beast soon opened its eyes. Its sharp gaze pierced the world and locked onto the horizon, where a massive thunderstorm was rolling in at an alarming speed.
More terrifyingly, the storm carried five powerful auras, one of which belonged to a mythical-level colossal beast so powerful that even the Bi'an beast felt its heart race.
With a thunderous growl, the 400-meter-tall Bi'an rose abruptly and surged with power, sending shockwaves across the land and sea.
The Bi’an unleashed a peak mythical-level aura. Due to its ancestral bloodline, its aura far surpassed that of an ordinary mythical colossal beast—it even shook the heavens and earth.
Its immense pressure and golden light also shattered the surrounding space, forming black rifts that stretched for thousands of meters. The sight was nothing short of terrifying.
The other colossal beasts on the ground raised their heads in response, growling in rage and releasing their auras in a unified explosion.
The combined oppressive energy of the level 8, level 9, quasi-mythical, and mythical-level beasts seemingly darkened the entire world.
However, the nearly 200-kilometer thunderstorm did not slow down. On the contrary, it accelerated further.
Upon reaching the suspended waterfall, the thunderstorm collided with an invisible barrier, spreading shockwaves across hundreds of kilometers.
The winds howled as a massive claw wreathed in black lightning and adorned with golden and blue patterns emerged from the storm.
The attack shattered the world’s spatial barrier, allowing the Dragon Emperor and the four other colossal beasts to push past the chaotic rain of space fragments.
Kill them! the Bi'an roared in fury from over 200 kilometers away.
It couldn’t help but be enraged. After all, a mere beginning-stage mythical beast was challenging its dominance. It wanted to tear the invaders to pieces.
The colossal beasts on the ground roared and charged in unison. Their domains and the colorful lights of their abilities burst toward the Dragon Emperor and its companions.
The sheer number and size of the charging beasts gave them an overwhelming momentum.
The Dragon Emperor was momentarily taken aback. This was the first time it had encountered such a vast and formidable force of colossal beasts. Regaining its composure, it glared at the colossal beast standing atop the mountain peak.
Saixitia, I leave those ordinary beasts to you, it commanded.
Got it! The great Saixitia will take down fifty today! Filled with excitement, the Silver Dragon roared and immediately flapped its wings. Surrounded by a black storm, it shot forward like a streak of lightning.
The great Thorsafi will bathe the ground in blood! the Golden-Blue Dragon roared excitedly.
The enemy forces far outnumbered it. However, with its strength equal to an ordinary mythical colossal beast’s, it easily crushed the level 9 beasts.
Zhulong roared deeply. Right after, it turned into a streak of light as it dashed toward the fray.
The Single-Horned Kun closely followed suit. Unlike the fearless trio of quasi-mythical beasts, the eager Single-Horned Kun only targeted the level 8 beasts swimming up the river.
A hundred kilometers or two was nothing to these colossal beasts. They crossed the distance in mere breaths.
Once the gap had been narrowed down to ten kilometers, the enemy forces fired red, blue, and purple beams at the Silver Dragon, their attacks tearing through the heavens and earth.
Seven powerful beams engulfed the Silver Dragon. Akin to a small nuclear explosion, the blinding explosion shook the surrounding kilometers like a small nuclear explosion.
Amid the terrifying energy blasts, a black storm and ice crystals covered the Silver Dragon.
The great Saixitia is invincible! it roared excitedly.
The Silver Dragon had a physique comparable to a mythical-level beast’s, allowing it to ignore the level 9 beasts’ breath attacks. It charged straight into the swarm of colossal beasts with domineering might.
As space distorted, two claws imbued with black ice crystal storms tore through the void, smashing the heads of the two closest level 9 beasts in an explosive burst.
The Silver Dragon then lunged at the Three-Headed Serpent, a quasi-mythical beast.
The collision of the beasts’ domains resulted in a violent shockwave. Relying on its mythical beast strength, the Silver Dragon disregarded the attacks and bit down on one of the Three-Headed Serpent's heads.
The Three-Headed Serpent screamed as the attack crushed its middle head. Exploiting its vulnerability, the Silver Dragon wrapped its claws around the serpent. It then plummeted from the sky, taking the serpent with it.
The impact made the ground explode, causing a shower of dirt and debris.
With just one attack, the Silver Dragon had obliterated the quasi-mythical beast.
Zhulong had also found its target: the tusked colossal beast below. Closing its eyes, it plunged the area within ten kilometers into darkness. At the same time, the tusked beast’s roars and the earth-shaking rumblings filled the air.
Meanwhile, the Golden-Blue Dragon faced the remaining dozen or so level 8 and 9 beasts. It unfurled its crystal-like wings, revealing a golden-blue glow, and formed a massive 800-meter crystal sphere around it using special laws.
Breath attacks struck the crystal sphere, causing violent energy explosions, yet it remained unscathed.
Simultaneously, crystals of various colors, each several meters in diameter, condensed in the surrounding void and burst in every direction.
The crystal bombardment shattered the domains of the nearby beasts. They could only cry in agony as their scales were broken and their flesh was blasted apart.
Surrounded by shimmering crystals high in the sky, the Golden-Blue Dragon roared triumphantly as it unleashed a dazzling, multi-colored radiance.
The great Thorsafi is invincible!
In the thousand-meter crystal domain, dozens of crystal missiles formed every second and rained down on the level 9 beasts.
The Golden-Blue Dragon shook the world with its crazed explosions like a cannon tower. It easily suppressed more than twenty level 9 beasts dozens of kilometers away.
Its sheer power was enough to excite and awe even the nearby mermaids.
Meanwhile, the displeased Bi’an watched from the mountain peak in the distance as the three quasi-mythical beasts overpowered its subordinates.
