Above the sky, chains hundreds of meters thick appeared, white and translucent. They were condensed entirely from the purest principles of heaven and earth, and shone with dazzling radiance. One end of each chain stretched into the void, the other crossed and intertwined, forming a glowing net beneath the black-and-red colossal beast and restraining it from descending upon the land.

At the same time, an unseen repelling force swelled stronger around it, little by little. At this rate, even if the Dragon Emperor of the End refused to leave on its own, it would still be forced out of the mythical world in half a day at the most.

Before the two-hundred-kilometer-long Dragon Emperor, the Silver Colossal Dragon and the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, each more than four thousand meters in length, circled with wings spread wide. By now, however, they no longer carried the thrill they had felt when they first awakened and advanced their bloodlines. The beasts scattered across the land also froze, stunned by the Dragon Emperor's declaration that it would depart.

Looking down at the colossal beasts in shock below, and at the dazed Silver Dragon, the Dragon Emperor's deep and majestic voice once more resounded across heaven and earth.Do not grieve. I am merely leaving for the chaotic heavens, not falling. When you enter the outer heavens, we will meet again. Perhaps by then, I will have established an even greater colossal beast empire beyond the heavens, and rule over the chaotic void. When my strength grows greater still, I shall return and tear open a stable passage. Then the mythical colossal beasts shall also step into the outer heavens.

Having broken through the true spirit level, fused with the supreme principles of chaos and destruction, and tempered its body with a thousandfold power of heaven and earth beyond any other true spirit, the Dragon Emperor's body had already surpassed the confines of the true spirit level. However, despite its strength exceeding its realm, it remained bound to the true spirit level, still far from the primordial true emperors. Thus, it could not yet carve open a stable passage to the outer heavens.

Even so, the words filled the colossal beasts below with renewed vigor. The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle roared in excitement.Thunder Fiery, you said it yourself. You must come back and open the passage, and take us into the outer heavens to feast and drink our fill!

Thunder Fiery, remember to save some good things for us.The Single-Horned Kunpeng too couldn't hold back its excitement.

Pinned to the ground by invisible pressure, Ghidorah with its nine twisted dragon heads let out a chaotic roar.Ao Ba, when I reach the outer heavens, I'll still follow you.

The beasts that only moments before had been restless and mournful were stirred into excitement once more. With the Dragon Emperor's monstrous pace of growth, its power would surely rise even faster once it entered the boundless chaotic void. It wouldn't be long before the Dragon Emperor returned to open the passage to the outer heavens.

Soon the beasts were roaring one after another, voices overlapping in thunderous cries. After more than ten minutes of this, the Dragon Emperor finally spoke again, its voice booming like thunder through the world.Before I leave, there are matters to arrange. From now on, each dragon king shall guard one region, ruling parts of the empire. The extent of each region will be determined by strength. The stronger the beast, the larger its territory. The empire's important manners shall still be decided through meetings of the Dragon King Palace. As for the palace master's seat, after I depart, Saixitia shall act in my stead, with absolute authority. You all have no objections, I trust?

In the past, more than a dozen dragon kings, including eight ancient titans, had coexisted peacefully only because the mightier, more domineering Dragon Emperor kept them in check. If they continued with the old centralized system after it departed, conflict was bound to erupt before long, given the beasts' combative natures.

Thus, dividing territories was the best way to avoid friction among the dragon kings, especially for beasts like the Dragon Turtle and Ghidorah, who were still at the mythical level and naturally weaker than the ancient-titan-level dragon kings. This decree was, in truth, a form of protection for them.

As for Saixitia being named palace master... Now at the peak of the titan level, with an emperor-level bloodline awakened and four top-tier abilities, the Silver Dragon's power was already no less than that of the ancient titans.

With the Golden-Blue Dragon, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, and the Time Dragon supporting it, Saixitia had more than enough weight to secure both the palace master's seat and the title of great dragon king.

The Ancient Magma Dragon rumbled in a deep voice.Everything shall follow the king's will. We have no objections.

With the mightiest Magma Dragon speaking first, the other colossal beasts naturally fell in line. Or rather, in the face of the Dragon Emperor's command, none dared to object, and they all rumbled in assent. Only today, the Silver Dragon was uncharacteristically quiet. Even upon becoming palace master of the Dragon King Palace, it didn't let out a roar of triumph.

The Golden-Blue Dragon fanned its splendid wings and lowered its head close to the Silver Dragon, puzzled as it softly growled,Saixitia, are you okay?

Move aside, Thorsafi. The great Saixitia is in no mood to deal with you.With a sweep of its wings, the Silver Dragon flew off to the rear in a streak of silver light. In the blink of an eye, it vanished behind the Dragon Emperor's mountain-like back.

So its mood is really bad.The Golden-Blue Dragon sighed inwardly.

It too felt some reluctance at the Dragon Emperor's sudden departure, yet there was no helping it. The Dragon Emperor's growth was too rapid, its talent too fearsome. Even if they gave their all, they could never catch up to its shadow. This day had long been expected; it only came sooner than imagined.

The Dragon Emperor's colossal head turned slightly. Its gaze lingered on the Silver Dragon, drifting alone in the void behind its tail, its back turned to them all and its mood subdued. The Silver Dragon seemed like a sulking little girl squatting in the corner, drawing circles on the ground.

In the end, however, the Dragon Emperor only shook its head slightly, dismissing the thought of taking the Silver Dragon with it. The chaotic heavens outside were too dangerous. The problem wasn't the environment itself, but the threat of encountering primordial colossal beasts, alien races, or unknown horrors at any moment.

Against such ancient and terrifying beings, whose breakthroughs to the primordial level could date back countless years, even the Dragon Emperor couldn't be certain it could protect the Silver Dragon.Lastly... Catasthea and the rest of you, I once promised that I would strengthen your bloodlines after breaking through to the true spirit level. Do not resist.

Roar! Roar!

Even the Magma Dragon and the Azure-White Dragon could not suppress their excitement, letting out rumbles of joy, while the Blade King trembled with anticipation. Only a few had earned this qualification during the great expedition war.

Boom!

A dreadful pressure rippled through time and space. Above the sky, endless black-and-red radiance gathered, forming the phantom of a colossal beast spanning a hundred thousand kilometers. That star-like phantom beast slowly lowered its head.

Roar!

A roar infused with a heavenly-tier bloodline shook heaven and earth, echoing across the vast stretch of space and time. Beneath that supreme pressure, every colossal beast instinctively trembled, overawed, yet their blood also surged with boiling fervor. The bloodlines of every beast of the Dragon Palace erupted, exploding like boiling water into surges of power that burned painfully within them.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Wracked with agony, they couldn't help but let out frenzied howls, thrashing on the ground and crushing everything around them. As every beast's bloodline ignited under the black-and-red phantom's roar, more than twenty golden strands of brilliance flashed through the skies. These rays, condensed from the Dragon Emperor's bloodline aura fused with the origin of heaven and earth, came in different sizes.

Three hundred-meter-long strands merged into the bodies of the Magma Dragon, the Azure-White Dragon, and the Blade King, the three who had performed best in battle. Then came four fifty-meter strands, merging into the Single-Horned Kunpeng, Zhulong, the Dragon Turtle, and Ghidorah. Five more, each thirty meters long, sank into the Time Dragon, the Ancient Ray-Beast, the Black Qilin, the Midgard Serpent, and the Void Python. The Longjia King, Qiongqi, the female orca, the Blue Giant Crab, Hu Yi, Hu Er, and Hu San each received a ten-meter strand. Even the black orca's mate, Little Hime, and the mermaid sisters Lan Yu and Lan Ning, who rarely drew notice, were each granted a slender one-meter strand.

This time, it was as though the entire empire rejoiced together. Every beast remembered by the Dragon Emperor received its blessing. Those that had followed it since the Blue Planet were granted extraordinary rewards. A single strand of heavenly-tier bloodline aura, merged with the origin power of a true spirit, was enough to purify their bloodlines, perhaps even elevate them, and send their strength surging skyward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From every beast erupted a storm of power. The light of principles shone, the world quaked, and boundless transcendent energy surged madly toward them.

Watching the rainbow-lit land of the Chaotic Region, the Dragon Emperor suppressed its own boiling blood and turned its gaze upon the elegant Golden-Blue Dragon before it.Thorsafi, your bloodline and Saixitia's have already risen to the emperor level. With diligent cultivation, one day you will reach the true spirit level. Work hard. I will await you at the chaotic heavens.

The Golden-Blue Dragon rumbled softly.Thunder Fiery, do not worry. I will cultivate diligently and catch up to you as soon as I can.

The Dragon Emperor nodded slowly. Its eyes lingered one last time on the Silver Dragon still drawing circles behind its tail, then it no longer suppressed the rejection of heaven and earth.

Boom!

Its colossal form trembled. Spreading its wings wide, it twisted the very fabric of space, rising with the mythical world's rejection toward the outer heavens. At the same time, an unseen force enveloped the Silver and Golden-Blue Dragons, sending them down toward the earth below.

The heights of the sky, more than a hundred thousand kilometers above, were a realm only true spirits could endure. Any being below that level would be torn apart by the brutal principles the instant it set foot there. Thus, even in leaving, the Dragon Emperor had not forgotten to send them safely away.

Just then, from behind the ascending Dragon Emperor, the still-sulking Silver Dragon suddenly erupted with dazzling silver light.

Crack!

The unseen force protecting it for descent shattered. The Silver Dragon's maw opened wide and clamped down upon the Dragon Emperor's tail.

Saixitia, what are you doing?The Golden-Blue Dragon, already falling thousands of kilometers below, cried out in shock.

What answered was not words, but the Silver Dragon's exultant roar, its will shaking heaven and earth through the bite locked on the Dragon Emperor's tail.Palace master of the Dragon King Palace? Great dragon king? Saixitia cares nothing for such titles. The great Saixitia will go with Ao Tian to the chaotic heavens, to battle through the void, to slay the primordial beasts until rivers of their blood flow.

The Silver Dragon's eyes glinted with smug pride as it slowly rose into the sky. The Golden-Blue Dragon, still plummeting downward, revealed a look of regret.Damn it, that wretch planned this all along!

It had never imagined that one day it would be outwitted by that fool. The Silver Dragon's earlier gloom and feigned anger had all been an act to deceive it.Damn it, when did this fool learn to be cunning?

The black-and-red colossal beast ascending heavenward turned its head. Its gaze lingered briefly on the Silver Dragon biting its tail like a white mouse.

The Silver Dragon trembled under that glance and anxiously growled,Ao Tian, you must not throw the great Saixitia away.

Alright then.The Dragon Emperor's deep growl rolled out, and a streak of blood-red lightning shattered the warped space around it. The force wrapped around the Silver Dragon and lifted it, tossing it onto the Dragon Emperor's broad back.

In truth, the moment the Silver Dragon had torn the space around it and lunged at its tail, the Dragon Emperor had already sensed it. It could have reacted at any time, yet when it felt the unwavering will radiating from the Silver Dragon, it softened and chose not to refuse. It simply thought,If this fool wishes to go to the outer heavens, then so be it.

Ao Tian, I knew you were the best!Perched proudly on the Dragon Emperor's massive shoulder, the Silver Dragon let out a triumphant roar, casting a smug glance downward. Far below, the Golden-Blue Dragon had already vanished into the clouds.

Even earlier, during the Dragon Emperor's exchanges with the other beasts, the space between them had been distorted. Without such distortions, none save the ancient titans could have seen the Dragon Emperor clearly across a gulf of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

At the chaotic heavens, the mythical world's land appeared only a million kilometers away, yet the true distance was unfathomable, sealed behind a barrier of immense strength. When the Dragon Emperor rose three hundred thousand kilometers high, all material around it had vanished, replaced by violent storms of time and space. Fused with World Force, they were powerful enough to grievously wound even true spirits.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Black-and-red radiance spread from the Dragon Emperor, engulfing a span of ten thousand kilometers. The principles of chaos and destruction poured forth, annihilating the storms and releasing a blinding halo of energy. From afar, it looked like a star tens of thousands of kilometers wide rising into the sky.

Deep within the mythical world, terrifying auras burst forth as ancient beings stirred, gazing toward the blazing black-and-red star.

"Another beast has broken into the primordial level."

"Heaven and earth are unjust. Why is it so much easier for these beasts than for us?"

"Sigh...Will I ever become a star myself one day?"

Sighs of awe, lament, and envy spread across the land. Then, one by one, those who had reached the peak of the true spirit level yet could not break through fell back into slumber.
