A force like black flames silently burned, obliterating everything in its path. On the shattered earth, it scorched out a chaotic black hole with a diameter of several thousand kilometers.
At the center stood a dark-red colossal beast, now over 32,000 meters long. It had become even more massive and menacing, emanating a terrifying aura that filled all living beings with dread.
After devouring a late-stage demon god, the Destructive Dragon Emperor had swelled by more than two thousand meters through the conversion of biological energy. However, due to being in its Endbringer Form, its actual physical growth was only a few hundred meters.
As it evolved, the surplus evolutionary energy fed back across the vast distance of over a hundred thousand kilometers, slightly bolstering the aura of Chen Chu, who was in his Dark Star World-Ending Form. Though the boost to Chen Chu's power was limited, it did replenish some of the energy he had consumed earlier.
Huff!
With every breath, scorching waves of air blasted out. The Dragon Emperor slowly turned its head, golden-red lightning flickering in its eyes as it swept its cold gaze in all directions.
Due to having chased Sigitiko far to the left—over a hundred thousand kilometers away—the farthest demon god from the Dragon Emperor had fled more than four hundred thousand kilometers. Even the Dragon Emperor could only faintly sense the powerful principle-level energy fluctuations from that direction.
The closest battlefield, meanwhile, was in the southeast, just over 130,000 kilometers away. There, the Golden-Winged Divine King Tolstoy had manifested his divine king form. Principle powers flooded his surroundings, fusing with ten divine runes to form ten world projections that surged with apocalyptic power.
Within those element-infused worlds—wind, lightning, earth, fire, light, darkness, water, ice, magma, and astral—Demon God Belitir had been completely suppressed and unable to escape, even with burning its origin.
With the two demon gods fighting at full power, the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers had fallen into ruin. Mountains collapsed as if the world were ending. Even two regular forbidden zones saturated with extreme danger had been wiped flat. The devastation was overwhelming.
The Dragon Emperor did a quick mental calculation.Four more minutes. That'll do.
It then let out a roar. It streaked across the sky in black-and-red light, covering over a hundred thousand kilometers in just over a minute. The moment it neared the battlefield, Belitir sensed a chaotic, world-ending aura descending like the end of days. Terror flashed in its eyes.
Before such a monstrous beast that possessed true-spirit-level combat power, even the powerful Sigitiko had been ripped apart in just a few moves and devoured shortly after. What chance did Belitir have?
"Get away from me!" Belitir went utterly mad, erupting with a power so violent it shattered reason.
Boom!
It self-detonated its principle-condensed true form. In an instant, the surrounding space within ten thousand kilometers collapsed. Chaos surged as the annihilating power formed an apocalyptic black sun with an immense aura. Transcendent energy formed rings of dark red halos that radiated over ten thousand kilometers.
The explosion shattered even Tolstoy's ten elemental worlds, and the golden glow of the principle domain around his true form flickered and shook. Even Tolstoy felt his internal power roil from that overwhelming force. He was flung over ten thousand kilometers away in a beam of golden light.
At the same time, more than fifty thousand kilometers away, a demon god pillar, thousands of meters in diameter and towering into the clouds, suddenly flared atop a mountain range. As it activated, a colossal Void Eye carved into it shot a beam of black light into the sky, piercing the void
An unseen force followed some kind of coordinate, ignoring countless spatial-temporal restrictions, and surged into the black sun's core. There, a phantom was instantly pulled away and vanished.
Roar!
A fierce and regal bellow shook time and space. In an instant, heaven and earth lost all color. A red tail blade, wreathed in black flames and golden-red lightning, tore through the void with the Void Summon ability. Filled with the power of the Endbringer Annihilation, it cleaved the world in half, splitting the void with a pitch-black rift over ten thousand kilometers long. It even severed the force pulling through spacetime, and a figure fell from the sky, sliced cleanly in two.
Boom! Boom!
The earth ruptured and mountains caved in. The shockwave from the demon god's crash swept across several thousand kilometers like a tsunami of destruction.
Another vicious and commanding roar rang out. Two dragon claws, blazing with black fire, descended from the heavens and dragged a chaotic world down upon the two halves of Belitir's true form.
Boom!
The ground over twenty thousand kilometers heaved like an ocean, and countless peaks collapsed. The abyssal principle surrounding Belitir crumbled continuously under the power of the Chaotic End. There was no way to resist. The Dragon Emperor seized it in its claws and completely suppressed it.
As the dreadful jaws drew closer, Belitir's upper half let out a wretched scream. "Deorus, save me!"
However, at that moment, Deorus had already fled over half a million kilometers away. It didn't dare to even glance back, let alone hear Belitir's plea. The other demon gods were the same. Even if they had heard it, none of them dared turn back.
Facing a beast whose power had stepped into the true spirit level, unmatched in both strength and defense, and equipped with a devouring ability that could swiftly dissolve and consume demon gods, who would dare to stop?
Boom!
Belitir's ten-thousand-meter true form was like a roast suckling pig before the Dragon Emperor's savage maw. All three of its heads were bitten off in a single chomp.
Gasp!
Watching the red beast devour a demon god in massive gulps, Tolstoy revealed a trace of apprehension in his eyes.This beast is simply too terrifying to provoke.
As a divine king, Tolstoy didn't fear death. However, he also had no desire to be treated like a snack by some colossal beast and slowly eaten alive. At the same time, there was a surge of excitement in his heart. He hadn't expected the human side to possess true-spirit-level combat power.
Unlike the Heavenly Feathered Race's Eternal Divine Tree, whose main body had reached the true spirit level yet was considered only a half-step true spirit, this beast was a genuine existence carrying ancient true spirit power. Even if it had only broken through temporarily, it could still crush all beings below the true spirit level, including great demon gods. Unless the legendary slumbering Primordial Ancestor appeared, there was no demon god who could match this beast. It alone was enough to suppress everything.
It took just over two minutes for the Dragon Emperor to completely chew and swallow Belitir. It expanded by another thousand meters, becoming even more massive. The black flames burning on its body flared even more intensely, and the Endbringer Annihilation aura permeating the heavens surged wildly.
However, as the Dragon Emperor's power grew, the pressure on Chen Chu also increased dramatically. The moment it devoured Belitir, Chen Chu, who had been working with the Primordial King to suppress the demonic dragon Kaodes, felt his aura weaken slightly.
Roar!
Kaodes, whose true form was tattered and whose wings had been severed, reacted immediately. A black crystal within its body exploded.
Boom!
Kaodes' aura instantly surged tenfold. Countless tentacles of flesh burst from its body, and its broken left claw swelled abruptly, flinging away the heavy Eight Desolations Halberd that pinned it.
At the same time, its tail ignited in black-red blood flames, shining with dazzling brilliance as it pierced the void and swept both the Primordial King and the Skybreaking Mace into its grasp.
Boom!
Kaodes' tail and the entire rear half of its true body detonated, releasing a cataclysmic force of darkness. The explosion that rippled through the stars expanded like an invisible supernova. Even the massive Primordial King was blasted back, vomiting blood. Four of his arms shattered as he staggered.
Chen Chu, who bore the brunt of the impact, was surrounded by a barrier that rippled violently. Rings of pure golden diamond-shaped halos burst outward as deafening roars echoed in his ears. His temporal true form, slightly weaker, was directly blown away, half its body obliterated.
Roar!
Kaodes howled. After sacrificing half of its principle-condensed true form to blast Chen Chu and the Primordial King back, it plunged headfirst into the abyssal rift ahead.
Compared to the Dragon Emperor, whose strength after reaching the ancient titan level had reached absurd levels, Chen Chu's main body at the middle stage of the heavenly king level was still one major realm behind. When facing a middle-stage demon god that had burned its origin and self-detonated its true form, even he couldn't stop it from escaping.
This was the difficulty of killing demon-god-level entities. Even among the human race's most powerful and the divine kings of the Heavenly Feathered Race, it was the same. As long as a demon god fought to escape, it was nearly impossible to stop them, even with two peak powerhouses working together.
"You will not leave today, Kaodes."
Boom!
Bathed in brilliant dark golden light, the ten-thousand-meter-tall Chen Chu charged out from the heart of the explosion. In his hand, the Eight Desolations Halberd tore through spacetime as the void collapsed beneath it.
At the same moment, his temporal true form flickered into existence before Kaodes. Its aura surged more than tenfold, burning all of its origin. Behind it appeared the planar world, descending as if summoned from the future. It resembled a continent nearly ten thousand kilometers wide, infused with supreme principle power and crashing down upon Kaodes.
Boom!
Kaodes sank. The dark principle domain swirling around it shook violently, sending out waves of dazzling radiance. Immense gravitational force crushed the void, forcing Kaodes lower and lower.
Boom!
The golden-black halberd pierced the heavens and earth. It tore apart the domain of dark principles, pierced through Kaodes' abdomen, and nailed it firmly onto the continent formed by the planar world. The halberd was also wrapped in a layer of pure, transparent principle power that suppressed Kaodes and relentlessly wore down its principle and divine soul will.
However, with Chen Chu's current strength, it would be difficult to fully erase Kaodes in a short period of time. Back when he had fought that early-stage demon god, Chen Chu had gone all out and still nearly spent half an hour to kill it. Kaodes, being stronger, would only take longer.
It didn't matter, though. All he needed was to suppress Kaodes for one minute.
Roar!
As despair flickered in Kaodes' eyes, high above the sky, a massive red colossal beast descended from the skies, blocking out the sun. Its twin claws dragged down an entire chaotic world, crushing the elemental plane of earth, fire, wind, and thunder that had been suppressing Kaodes.
Rip!
The demonic dragon, still over six thousand meters in length even with only half its true form remaining, was torn apart like a toy in the claws of the over thirty-thousand-meter-tall Dragon Emperor. Even the Primordial King, ten thousand kilometers away, couldn't help but draw a sharp breath at the horrifying scene.
A faint sigh drifted across the air. "No more time."
Hum!
The dark-blue altar beneath Chen Chu's feet suddenly shattered. Under the tremendous force that distorted time and space, the ferocious Dragon Emperor vanished instantly, along with the torn-apart Kaodes.
In the depths of the Chaotic Region, spacetime suddenly trembled. A red colossal beast over thirty thousand meters long, burning with black flames and exuding a power of absolute annihilation, abruptly descended. The aura it released sent the entire world into violent tremors as the laws of heaven and earth began to collapse.
Over a thousand kilometers away, the Silver Colossal Dragon and Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon had yet to react when their bodies suddenly sank under an overwhelming pressure far above the natural order. With a thunderous boom, they crashed to the ground, flattening the land beneath into a deep crater.
The Silver Dragon, pinned to the ground, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the terrifying beast in the distance.Is that Ao Tian?!
The Golden-Blue Dragon, wings sprawled weakly on the ground, also widened its eyes in shock.S-So strong!
It was their first time witnessing the Dragon Emperor's Endbringer Form. The impact was so immense that their limbs and even tails went limp. A primal urge to submit and worship surged up from the depths of their souls and blood in response to the pressure of that ancient, superior bloodline.
Just then, the oppressive aura on the two dragons suddenly lifted. In the distance, the colossal beast had withdrawn its Endbringer power and let out a low rumble. Its majestic voice echoed through heaven and earth.Saixitia, wait over there for a bit. Let me finish eating this one first.
Only now did the two colossal dragons notice the two halves of a demonic dragon in the Dragon Emperor's claws. Golden lightning danced over them, suppressing the explosive principle force still surging within Kaodes' remains.
Soon, a brilliant blood moon emerged in the depths of the Chaotic Region. Yet, aside from the excited Silver Dragon and the awestruck Golden-Blue Dragon, no other lifeform witnessed this scene.
In front of the red colossal beast, now expanded by another 1,000 meters to over 34,000 in length, the 1,400-meter Silver Dragon looked like a child. It spread its wings and circled excitedly.Ao Tian, was the battle intense? You even brought back an ancient-titan-level snack.
The Dragon Emperor, standing over ten thousand meters tall at the shoulder, gave a slow nod. A tsunami of shockwaves surged as its deep voice rumbled like thunder.Not bad. I helped them kill three ancient-titan-level demon gods this time.
As it spoke, the Dragon Emperor stirred its will, and the explosive principle origin within its body quickly receded. Its enormous form shrank rapidly like a deflating balloon until it returned to a size of just over 7,900 meters. Its aura also became noticeably weaker.
The Endbringer Form required consumption of principle origin to enter, and for the Dragon Emperor, who had only recently broken into the ancient level, principle origin was precisely what it lacked most.
In those twelve minutes of battle, not only had Chen Chu's main body depleted its energy, but the Dragon Emperor had also used up thirty percent of its principle origin. This was despite devouring three demon gods, which had caused its colossal body to grow nearly a thousand meters.
The growth of a colossal beast's body naturally drove the evolution of principles, enhanced strength, and tempered the true form to generate more origin. However, once the origin was overly depleted, that growth would slow. If depletion exceeded sixty percent, it could even damage the foundation.
After a brief breath, the Dragon Emperor let out a low growl.Let's go, Saixitia, Thorsafi. Time to get back to our business.
With each heavy step, the land trembled. The three colossal beasts quickly disappeared into the depths of the Chaotic Region. In just a short descent upon the battlefield, three demon gods had been slain. Victory was already sealed. The rest could be left to others, and the Dragon Emperor was, at last, full.
