Above the sky, where spacetime trembled, a colossal beast engulfed in blazing black flame-like energy let out a furious roar. Within its golden-red vertical pupils, filled with chaotic destruction, a flicker of regret could still be seen.

It had already resolved to fight this true spirit colossal beast to the death, even if it meant giving up its life. However, who would have thought that, just as the Five-Colored True Spirit was being consumed by the Terminal Dark Devourer, it would detonate its true world-essence form, abandon centuries of cultivation, and escape with its severely wounded main body?

Furthermore, this serious injury was inflicted when the beast bit off a chunk of the opponent's main body in the final moment. Though they had fought for a long time and left the True Spirit's true world-essence form covered in injuries, those wounds were only superficial. They hadn't harmed its foundation.

That true form, forged from the essence of heaven and earth and condensed like a mineral vein, was merely an outer armor. The real main body was the nine-colored figure that had burst out at the end.

Of course, if the True Spirit hadn't self-detonated and fled, and had instead been swallowed by the Terminal Dark Devourer unleashed by the Endbringer Dragon Emperor, it would have ended up either severely injured or dead. In fact, if it couldn't tear open space and escape the Terminal Dark Devourer, it would've eventually been worn down and refined into nothing.

Unfortunately, that was just the Dragon Emperor's wishful thinking. If true spirit colossal beasts were that easy to kill, they wouldn't be beings of principles. Unless there was an overwhelming power gap in every aspect, a true-spirit-level lifeform could always merge into the world through the principles and escape.

The gap between the True Spirit and the Dragon Emperor hadn't been that wide. Both had reached the middle stage of true spirit level in terms of power. It was just that the True Spirit barely scraped into the middle stage, whereas the Endbringer Dragon Emperor had fully stepped into it.

In addition, the Dragon Emperor had ten powerful principle-level hidden abilities, including physical- and law-based defense, explosive power, teleportation speed, corrosion, and others, allowing it to overpower its opponent on all fronts. Yet even with all of this power, it still couldn't slay the True Spirit, not unless the True Spirit chose to fight to the death without retreat.

Boom!

Scorching shockwaves blasted out from the Dragon Emperor's nostrils, dissolving the space across several dozen kilometers ahead and creating a pitch-black area that extended deep into the void. At the same time, with just a single thought, the surrounding thunder-magnetic storms, crimson lightning, and black lightning all faded away one after another. Then, its massive body rapidly shrank in size.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Emperor had reduced to just over eleven thousand meters in length. Its oppressive aura plummeted from the middle stage of true spirit level as a heavy sense of weakness radiated from it. Cracks spread across its massive body, resembling shattered porcelain barely held together. A deep crimson glow still pulsed along its back, all the way to its tail.

Eeya! Eeya!

Sensing the Dragon Emperor's growing weakness, the Little Purple Dragon stirred from its hiding place beneath the towering horns, nestled safely within the thick black dragon mane. Untouched by the cataclysmic battle, it slowly opened its eyes, concern shining in its gaze.

The Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.I'm fine. Just a little drained. I'll recover soon. Keep your power of creation, I'll need it later.

Eeya, eeya!The Purple Dragon nodded.

Boom!

Within the Dragon Emperor, faint nine-colored radiance flickered. In the next moment, a vast surge of energy erupted from its stomach like a crashing celestial torrent, rumbling like thunder.

Only now did the True Spirit's hind leg begin to be refined. Bathed in an endless surge of pure energy, the Dragon Emperor's shattered body came back to life. Muscles and cells that had been pushed to their absolute limits erupted with vigorous vitality. Within moments, the cracks across its body vanished entirely. Cells multiplied, scales spread open, and its massive form began to expand at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the Dragon Emperor expanded, a chaotic and destructive aura swirled around it, crushing everything nearby, and turning into rings of black shockwaves that spread outward in all directions. With an abundant supply of energy rich in principle particles, the Dragon Emperor's body quickly surpassed twelve thousand meters... then thirteen thousand...

It was an astonishing sight, yet no beast was around to witness this scene. The clash between the two true-spirit-level colossal beasts had torn apart heaven and earth across a span of a million kilometers. Chaotic currents, infused with powerful principles, swept through the region with enough force to severely wound a titan-level colossal beast in an instant.

Additionally, there was also an abyss-like spacetime fracture and massive spatial rifts that pierced deep into the void, turning this entire region into a forbidden zone. In fact, many of the mythical world's most dangerous regions and forbidden zones were remnants of historical battles between colossal beasts, true spirit beings, or even greater lifeforms. Only a small number of dangerous or forbidden zones were formed naturally.

The moment the True Spirit fled, over a million kilometers away on another battlefield, panic flashed in the eyes of the Five-Colored Empire's colossal beasts. The familiar pressure of the true-spirit-level presence had suddenly disappeared.

A towering ancient minotaur, clad in five-colored battle armor and standing ten thousand meters tall, let out a confused roar.How is this possible? How could the great king of the Empire be defeated?

Just as it fell into a daze, the space around it shattered. A violent tempest filled with chaotic and destructive aura surged forth, rising into a massive hurricane that ripped everything to pieces.

Boom!

The hurricane, charged with destructive force strong enough to tear space apart, shattered the red and white principle domain the ancient minotaur had condensed. Next, the minotaur's sturdy battle armor began to falter. Its radiant glow dimmed as it cracked, and finally shattered. After that, the minotaur's true form was also destroyed.

It wasn't just the ancient minotaur. After half a day of fierce battle, the Five-Colored Empire had already suffered devastating losses. Only half of their colossal beasts remained, all crying out in despair.

In contrast, the Dragon Palace's colossal beasts were reinvigorated. Their spirits soared, their auras surged, and they let out excited roars as they charged once more at their foes.

Far above the scorched, lava-covered land, the Ancient Magma Dragon over twelve thousand meters long stood tall, its entire body wrapped in roaring flames. Gripped tightly in its claws were two battered golden dragon heads.

When the Three-Headed Golden Colossal Dragon faced the Magma Dragon, whose strength had reached the peak of the ancient level, it was completely overpowered from the very start. The battle ended in swift suppression. However, even with its ancient-level strength, the Magma Dragon still took half a day to suppress its opponent.

Clutching its spoils of war, the Magma Dragon's nine heads swept their gazes across the battlefield. Their eyes landed on the Midgard Serpent locked in battle with the Void Python, and a savage roar echoed across the land.Jormungandr! You're too slow! The king has already defeated the true spirit, and you haven't even dealt with your opponent yet. Want me to give you a hand?

The Midgard Serpent, stretching over thirteen thousand meters long with the phantom of a stone world beneath it, quickly hissed in reply,No need. I'm confident I can defeat it on my own!

Is that so?A suspicious look flickered in the Magma Dragon's eyes. Compared to the other battlefields, where one side clearly held the advantage or fought two against one with the battle nearing its end, Jormungandr's fight felt strangely different.

After refining the complete world fragment, Jormungandr's cultivation had advanced to the middle stage of the ancient titan level. Back when it was only at the beginning stage of the ancient level, it relied on its innate World-Wrapping Serpent ability to match late-stage ancient colossal beasts. Now, its strength should be even more formidable.

Yet, even after such a long battle against that massive white-scaled python, which was sixteen thousand meters long and also at the middle stage of the ancient level, neither side had gained the upper hand. In fact, despite the seemingly fierce battle, neither one appeared to be injured at all.

As the colossal beasts and aliens of the two great empires clashed in a massive war that stretched across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, a terrifying aura suddenly descended upon the battlefield. Within the night sky lit by countless colored lights, the heavens split apart. From the darkness emerged a colossal beast over fifteen thousand meters long, its vast black-gold wings unfurling to cover the sky.

This black-and-gold colossal beast looked as if it had come from a distant past, crossing the flow of time to appear here. Golden-red lightning flickered across its body as it unleashed a devastating aura that threatened to crush both heaven and earth. Time and space collapsed around it, revealing scenes of worlds crumbling into ruin and meeting their end.

The sight struck fear into every colossal beast and minotaur on the battlefield. Panic took hold, and those already on the verge of defeat lost all will to continue fighting.

Run!

The King has been defeated!

I surrender! I...I surrender...!

It was already too late. The moment the newly empowered Dragon Emperor descended, bolts of golden-red lightning erupted from it in all directions, sweeping across tens of thousands of kilometers.
