Boom!
Sigitiko's true form exploded as the Destructive Dragon Emperor's burning end-flame claw tore through it completely. The thousand-kilometer area around it was instantly transformed into a black hole that pierced deep into the void.
The moment the black hole formed, swarms of void creatures rushed toward it, but before they could even get close, they were incinerated by the arcs of golden-red lightning leaping around the edges, reduced to black ash that faded into nothingness.
"I won't accept this!" Suddenly, a crazed roar echoed from the depths of the black hole. Moments later, an even more dazzling burst of blood-red light erupted from Sigitiko's blades. Cracks multiplied rapidly across their surfaces, and in the blink of an eye, they were covered from hilt to tip. Violent waves of annihilating energy surged outward.
Boom! Boom!
The pseudo-world-level weapon that was only one step from becoming a true world-level weapon self-destructed, releasing power like a supernova. Two massive blood-red suns appeared in the sky, expanding infinitely. Everything in their path was crushed and obliterated.
Even the Dragon Emperor's form paused briefly under the assault. The chaotic energy storm from the explosion washed over it, forcing it back a step. Its vision and hearing were filled with the roar and flash of destruction.
At the very instant the blades detonated, a streak of blood-red light shot into the sky. Moving at an indescribable speed, it crossed thousands of kilometers in a breath. With another flash, it had reappeared more than ten thousand kilometers away.
Boom!
The red sun, now expanded to three thousand kilometers wide, suddenly trembled. From its edge, a crimson beast burning with black flames slowly walked out. Golden-red lightning arced across its form, and its aura was monstrous and oppressive.
Watching the fleeing Sigitiko, now over thirty thousand kilometers away, the Dragon Emperor's wings flared open behind it. Torrents of black flame surged from their edges, blotting out the sky.
Boom!
Space twisted and shattered like fragile paper, and the Dragon Emperor instantly appeared ten thousand kilometers away.
Sigitiko, who had fled over a hundred thousand kilometers by burning its origin, abruptly looked back. Seeing the red dragon claw growing larger and larger in the sky, he let out a desperate roar. "No!"
Boom!
Sigitiko, like a meteor over twenty kilometers in diameter, streaked across heaven and earth under the red light and slammed into the ground ten thousand kilometers below.
In an instant, the land across tens of thousands of kilometers trembled, surging like a tsunami. From the heart of the blast, crimson light shot skyward. Golden-red lightning swept across the heavens, mingling with countless fragments of shattered rock and eruptions of molten lava.
At the epicenter of the shattered earth, thousands of kilometers beneath the surface, Sigitiko's remaining power exploded in resistance. He struggled madly, but couldn't shake off the dragon claw that held it pinned.
This time, the Dragon Emperor didn't blow apart Sigitiko's true form, but instead gathered the power of the Chaotic End to suppress it.
Black flames surged endlessly from the Dragon Emperor's body, mixed with golden-red lightning, madly washing over the demon god's true form and grinding down its divine soul.
This was the terrifying power of the Dragon Emperor's strongest form. Even though Sigitiko's power had nearly reached the limits of the ancient realm, comparable to the lords of powerful empires, it was still helpless.
The Dragon Emperor's strength was only at the beginning stage of the true spirit level, yet the overwhelming suppression it exerted revealed an indescribable, absolute dominance.
While the Dragon Emperor displayed the world-destroying might of its final form and effortlessly suppressed Sigitiko, a flood of energy drained from within Chen Chu like a mountain torrent.
Calculating how much energy remained to destroy just one demon god, and how long he could continue sustaining the Dragon Emperor, Chen Chu's expression turned cold. "No. At this rate, I can't kill more than a few of them."
Boom! Boom!
Chen Chu's main body and his temporal true form simultaneously erupted with surging aura. Their forms expanded, one reaching three thousand meters and the other a thousand meters, both transforming into three-faced, eight-armed demon gods.
Behind each of them appeared the Nine-Fold Heavenly Gate. Chains of dragon patterns shattered one by one.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As each gate crumbled, roaring shadows of dragons infused with the power of the Dark Star World-Ending Force burst out. They poured into both Chen Chu and his temporal true form.
In an instant, Chen Chu's aura skyrocketed. Both True Demon God Forms swelled rapidly into two terrifying figures, one ten thousand meters tall and the other six thousand.
Both were clad in dark-golden armor formed from light. Their thousands-of-meters-long hair blazed with dark-golden flames, their entire beings radiant like living embodiments of light. The blinding brilliance painted the heavens in a sea of violet-gold. The vast and mighty aura they emitted flooded the world, radiating a boundless and domineering presence.
Entering the Dark Star World-Ending Form, Chen Chu let out a long roar. With heaven and earth shaking, he crossed over eighty thousand kilometers in an instant, appearing behind the Primordial King and the demonic dragon Kaodes.
"Let's finish it together!" With a roar, Chen Chu raised the Eight Desolations Halberd, now over twenty thousand meters long. Light burst forth, transforming the weapon into a golden-black halberd light a hundred thousand meters in length, slashing directly toward Kaodes.
At the same time, his temporal true form's eyes shone with golden-black vertical pupils. In that instant, the world darkened, and a region spanning ten thousand kilometers fell into the absolute blackness of the Void Summon.
"Hahaha... Excellent, Chen Chu!" the Primordial King laughed heartily. His body also ignited with black flames, and his aura climbed again.
Roar!
Behind him, the phantom of a towering Eight-Armed Rampage Ape appeared, roaring with unmatched fury. The massive phantom reached into the void with all eight arms, pulling forth a surge of energy from the unknown and shaping it into eight streams of azure-white light that merged with it. It charged forward together with the Primordial King.
Boom!
A massive aura of annihilation radiated from him, and the mace in his hand was now wrapped in white light capable of crushing all things.
"Roar!I won't die here!" The ten-thousand-meter-long demonic dragon screamed in terror. Darkness principle burst from its body, expanding to form a dark world spanning a thousand kilometers.
From the depths of that darkness, a massive dragon head emerged, soaring skyward to meet the heaven-rending halberd light and the crushing mace.
Boom!
Under the might of the halberd containing the force of world-creation, the abyssal dragon's skull shattered. The dark realm surrounding Kaodes exploded in a blinding blast.
Roar!
Kaodes let out a miserable howl. Both its claws snapped, flesh exploded from its arms, and nearly half of its principle-condensed true form was destroyed by the combined strike of the two attackers.
At the same time, an overwhelming force of spatial collapse erupted. After exhausting all of its void energy, the temporal true form unleashed the Void Collapse. The dark dragon's powerful body was shredded further, worsening its wounds.
The temporal true form lacked Chen Chu's full strength. Had that strike come from him directly, it would have utterly obliterated Kaodes. Even so, Kaodes was critically injured by the combined might of three attackers. Its massive body plummeted from the skies and slammed into the earth below with immense force.
As Chen Chu and the Primordial King joined forces to suppress Kaodes, a piercing and anguished scream echoed from the distance, shaking heaven and earth. The despair it carried sent a jolt through every demon god, all of them turning sharply toward the sky.
On the ground blazing with blood-red light, the colossal beast had torn Sigitiko's massive true form clean in half. With the suppression of the black flames and golden-red lightning, Sigitiko could no longer regenerate its true form as it had previously, nor could it escape.
Yet this wasn't the most horrifying part for the demon gods. Sigitiko, a powerful late-stage demon god, possessed immense principle origin. Even a true-spirit-level being would need time to wear it down completely.
However, in that very moment, the Dragon Emperor opened its mouth wide. Its maw radiated searing red light as it bit down savagely.
Boom!
Sigitiko's left shoulder disappeared in an instant beneath the beast's fangs. Even its divine soul and will in that region vanished completely, as if that part of its existence had never been there.
That was what truly shocked all the demon gods. This terrifying beast possessed a devouring-type innate ability that was capable of consuming everything, even principles and their true forms.
Roar!
Bathed in red light and wreathed in black flames, the colossal beast howled skyward, clutching Sigitiko's true form and devouring it ravenously.
"That beast has a devouring ability. Retreat!"
"Sigitiko's done for. Run!"
"There's still hope. The beast is powerful, but that human won't be able to sustain it for long!"
As they recalled Chen Chu's earlier call to the Federation for "ten minutes," a flicker of hope lit up in all of the demon gods' eyes. Then they erupted with everything they had.
Boom!
One hundred and fifty thousand kilometers away, Deorus roared, forcing back Qian Tian. At the same time, another of Deorus's future true forms had half of its true form detonated.
The violent explosion knocked back the Celestial King. Deorus voluntarily dismissed the future form, and its true form began to dissolve in a haze of time and space.
Elsewhere, Livedes had fled more than 120,000 kilometers. While locked in battle with the Golden-Winged Divine King, he roared in rage. Behind him, the white heart supported by four arms pulsed violently.
It watched in agony as the white heart and all four demon god arms exploded, triggering a white tsunami that surged toward the Golden-Winged Divine King.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even though Tolstoy's realm was higher and his strength greater, the onslaught of principle power still blasted him back several thousand kilometers by the wave. By the time he tore through it, Livedes had already escaped more than thirty thousand kilometers.
Every demon god resorted to their most extreme measures, fleeing at full speed. In the blink of an eye, they crossed thousands of kilometers. Meanwhile, all across the terrain, principle powers that had long since been refined into the land erupted in succession, leaving even the pursuing Qian Tian and others momentarily overwhelmed.
This was the advantage of fighting on their home ground. There was not only the backing of the Purgatory army, but also the restrictive barriers forged from refined principle power saturating the land.
As the demon gods fled in all directions, at the very center of the original battlefield, the crimson beast had already half-devoured Sigitiko. The demon god let out a final despairing scream as the Dragon Emperor's jaws crushed its skull. The struggling fragments of Sigitiko's true form released one last surge of power before weakening.
Crunch! Crunch!
Even a demon god's true form tempered by principle power was like brittle stone before the sharp crimson fangs. Every bite echoed with booming detonations of principles before the beast swallowed what remained.
As the Dragon Emperor refined the late-stage demon god, waves of potent energy erupted throughout it. Its colossal form began to swell once more, and its aura grew even more terrifying.
Very soon, Sigitiko's massive true form was completely devoured. In that instant, the world trembled. As scattered principles fused with the heavens, a massive Blood Moon, three thousand kilometers in diameter and glowing with piercing light, appeared in the sky ten thousand kilometers above, illuminating a million kilometers of land. Countless demons, demon kings, and great demon kings looked up in shock, unable to believe their eyes as the Blood Moon slowly descended.
A demon god had fallen. Judging by the principle pressure embedded in that blood-red light, even stronger than that of Deorus and the other empire rulers, it meant the fallen demon god had been extraordinarily powerful.
