Chapter 211: with translation of chapter title

The atmosphere within the ring-shaped star spiral had already grown tense and expectant due to the anomaly in the Profound Ancient Great World, with countless creatures rubbing their fists and palms, awaiting only the moment that ancient world's portal opened wide.

However, just as all eyes were fixed on this moment—

Bzzt!!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, as though seeping from the very source of the Eternal Time and Space River, suddenly enveloped the entire Star Domain!

This pressure was not deliberately released, yet it carried an innate, supreme overbearing dominance that towered above all things!

It was not directed at any individual, yet it made nearly every creature present surge with an impulse to prostrate and worship from the depths of their souls!

Bloodlines trembled, divine souls swayed, as though encountering an absolute sovereign on the level of life itself!

"Th-That is…?"

Countless gazes, uncontrollably and filled with shock and bewilderment, turned in unison toward the direction from which the pressure came—the highest point of the star spiral, that stretch of Void that had originally been completely empty.

There, Space rippled like water waves, and a boundlessly majestic Dark Shadow, bathed in endless golden divine radiance, stepped out one stride at a time.

His entire body seemed condensed from billions of dazzling suns; the light was not blinding, yet it carried a vast, towering majesty that suppressed the ages and illuminated Zhutian!

Upon his head sat an emperor's crown that seemed to bear the stars of Zhutian and was engraved with the pattern of ten thousand Dragons paying homage, surging with vast fluctuations that made even Immortal laws submit.

He was like an eternal golden sun descending upon the mortal realm; wherever his radiance reached, even the clamoring star spiral seemed to have its mute button pressed, becoming so quiet that a dropped pin could be heard.

The instant they made out this Dark Shadow, after a brief Dead Silence, came shock and exclamations like a mountain collapse and tidal wave!

"This… is… is the current Dragon Emperor!!"

"The Golden Emperor Dragon! The Golden Emperor Dragon Clan, one of the Ten Great Emperor Fiends of Zhutian Wanjie! Their current Dragon Emperor has actually come in person!!"

"My heavens! Am I dreaming? His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has actually personally descended upon the Ten Thousand Beasts Assembly?!"

"In the past, at most there was only a Dragon King presiding! This time… what exactly is different this time?!"

Countless creatures' expressions changed drastically in horror, their bodies trembling slightly from the extreme shock.

Even those teams from top-tier powerful clans such as the Ancient Overlord Tiger and the Moon-Howling Sky Wolf could not remain calm at this moment; the leading Elders all wore grave expressions, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Golden Emperor Dragon Clan held a transcendent status in the Primordial Wild Heaven; this Imperial Dragon Heavenly Domain, in a certain sense, was their territory.

In past Ten Thousand Beasts Assemblies, though they played the role of host, they only symbolically dispatched a few Dragon King-level experts to maintain order and assert their presence.

A supreme Dark Being like the Dragon Emperor, who stood at the very pinnacle of Zhutian Wanjie and looked down upon the Reincarnation of Epochs, had never once truly appeared!

And today, the Dragon Emperor's True Body had descended!

The significance behind this made all those deeply scheming individuals feel a chill in their hearts.

"Could it be… because of that peerless opportunity in Suppressing Dragon Valley?"

Some creatures could not help but whisper their guesses, their voices trembling.

This speculation spread like wildfire through the hearts of numerous factions.

Regardless of the reason, one thing was already certain.

This Ten Thousand Beasts Assembly was absolutely extraordinary!

Its importance and the opportunities it contained likely far exceeded any previous edition!

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to draw a supreme Dark Being like the current Dragon Emperor to appear in person!

The Dragon Emperor's face, blurred within golden radiance, seemed to sweep a glance across the vast star spiral; he did not speak, but his very existence was a wordless declaration.

Behind him followed several Dark Shadows whose auras were equally overwhelmingly formidable.

Among them, a young golden Dragon silhouette was the most eye-catching.

He stood casually behind the Dragon Emperor, his figure tall and upright, his Dragon horns prominent, his entire body covered in flawless Golden Dragon Scales.

Pure and majestic golden Dragon Power shimmered around him, his bearing extraordinary, as though a born sovereign of the Dragon Clan.

"It's… Ao Taixu!"

"One of the famously renowned Dragon Sons of the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan's younger generation!"

"An invincible Heavenly Pride whose name shakes the Primordial Wild Heaven! It's said this Dragon Son is exceedingly low-profile, yet his strength is terrifying to the extreme!"

"According to rumor, the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan has three great Dragon Sons in this generation, all possessing invincible potential, and Ao Taixu is one of them!"

Besides Ao Taixu, there were several other young Dark Shadows by his side; though not Golden Emperor Dragons, their bloodlines were equally noble and powerful.

There was a Darkness Demon Dragon, entirely pitch-black with flickering dark-red Destruction along the edges of its scales; an Ice Crystal Jade Dragon, covered in ice-blue scale armor and exuding extreme cold; and a Storm Thunder Dragon, its wings blotting out the sky, wreathed in storms and Lei Dian!

These were all the current champions of the Dragon Clan's powerful branch lineages, but clearly, they all regarded Ao Taixu as their sovereign.

And behind these young Dragons followed several Dragon Clan sovereigns whose auras were deep as the sea, who seemed capable of suppressing an entire Star Domain merely by standing there!

Among them was a Darkness Demon Dragon King, entirely pitch-black, its Dragon eyes like two all-devouring black holes, ferocity and majesty coexisting; the killing intent it emanated made even many fierce beasts tremble with fear.

Such a powerful lineup from the Dragon Clan once again drew countless shocked gazes and low exclamations.

After the Dragon Clan's entourage descended, they did not exchange words with any faction, only standing quietly at the highest point of the Void, as though waiting for something.

But even so, within the star spiral, the leaders of countless factions—whether arrogant fierce beast Titans or mysterious Human Dao lineages—all bowed respectfully toward the direction where the Dragon Emperor was, their voices converging into a tide:

"Greetings, Dragon Emperor!"

The rolling waves of sound expressed supreme reverence for the Emperor Fiend.

However, what made every creature's heart clench once more was that shortly after the Dragon Emperor's descent—

"Bzzt…"

A second, utterly different yet equally supreme tidal wave of imperial majesty above all living beings, carrying an aura interwoven with dream and reality, descended without any warning upon another stretch of Void!

Nine-colored rosy light spread out like aurora, rendering that Star Domain like a dreamscape.

Within the radiance, two Dark Shadows emerged.

The one in the lead was precisely that adult Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly who had made a stunning brief appearance at the Star River Beast Fighting Arena in the Great One Heavenly Domain not long ago, then departed with his daughter!

His aura was restrained, but those eyes like nine-colored whirlpools seemed able to reflect all the dreams and fears in the world.

And by his side was exactly that juvenile Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly who had already awakened, shed her blue color, transformed into a noble nine-colored form, her eyes carrying a trace of bewilderment and new life—Mu Yutiandie!

She… had actually, after hurrying back to her clan, come to this Ten Thousand Beasts Assembly without pause!

This clan, though it had only two figures, far fewer in number than the Dragon Clan camp, not a single living being present dared show the slightest hint of contempt!

Another Emperor Fiend!
