Chapter 1095: Extinguished Primordial Star, the End Dragon (II)

Poof!

The world split in two. A tail blade appeared, almost formless, like pure blood-red light edged in darkness.

After devouring and refining the black planet, the blade had become sharper than ever. Now, as it cleaved down, it cut apart the supreme force that condensed the Great Thousand World’s earth force, and then met the descending palm beyond.

Boom!

Heaven and earth darkened, as the sun and moon lost their light. The instant the tail blade that severed the world clashed with the golden-red palm of earth, the entire world fell silent. Then, within millions of kilometers, everything collapsed without a sound, vanishing into chaos.

Boom! Boom!

Under the immense backlash, Kotaser, ten thousand kilometers tall, roared in fury. Its upper body reared back, and it staggered several steps before reappearing a million kilometers away. On its vast, iron-hard palm, a gaping wound had opened, nearly splitting apart the hand that had begun to transform towards the primordial level.

At the same time, a red beam tore through heaven and earth, rending a rift millions of kilometers long across the land before finally halting. Yet before the red glow could fade, another streak of red light flashed across the sky. The Dragon Emperor, knocked back by the strike, now reappeared above Kotaser’s head.

Before it could act, a counterclockwise rune appeared in Kotaser’s eyes.

Boom!

Centered on Kotaser, an indescribable repulsive force erupted, sweeping across the land in overlapping layers of transparent spatial tides. From afar, it looked like a glowing sphere millions of kilometers wide had exploded.

Even the Dragon Emperor was hurled away by that overwhelming repulsion, crashing with a deafening roar tens of millions of kilometers distant. The land over a million kilometers shattered instantly.

The blast obliterated a vast city spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, its ruins consumed in a towering mushroom cloud that pierced the atmosphere.

At the same time, Kotaser, standing in the storming chaos, brought its massive hands together. With a sudden motion, it pressed downward toward where the dragon had fallen. "World-Ending Star!"

Boom!

Centered on the Dragon Emperor, the land for three million kilometers collapsed. Rocks soared skyward, then were drawn together by a black-hole-like gravitational pull. Amid the quake and smoke, a blazing sphere three million kilometers in diameter took shape. Around it coiled golden-red chains of principles, compressing it without pause.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the power of a semi-primordial being, wielding the earth force of a Great Thousand World, Kotaser’s principle-imbued ability created an entire celestial body with a crushing weight. The condensed force rivaled a star, collapsing spacetime and suppressing everything. Even then, however, Kotaser didn’t trust victory.

"Be suppressed!" It roared. It descended from the heavens to land atop the molten star, now compressed to just over a million kilometers.

Boom!

The radiant chains of principle wrapped tighter, each thousands of meters thick, spanning millions of kilometers. They constricted, forcing the blazing celestial body to shrink further, rumbling with world-shaking detonations.

Just as the celestial body compressed to around half a million kilometers, glowing like a searing star, the entire world seemed to echo with hymns of destruction and the end. Then it shook. Within, a presence stirred, so dreadful it made even Kotaser’s heart tremble.

Boom!

The star-like world exploded. Chains of principles shattered beneath an indescribable force. Amid the earth-shattering detonation, black radiance surged, drowning heaven and earth. The blast swallowed tens of millions of kilometers of Void Continent and the endless dark space beyond.

In that instant, the entire world fell into darkness, except for a colossal figure, utterly black, yet shining with a dreadful brilliance. The Dragon Emperor rose, now ten thousand kilometers tall, its form magnified a hundredfold. It stood as if condensed from pure darkness, emanating the terror of a true primordial being.

The moment it entered its End Form, the world’s very foundations began to collapse. The sky tore apart from the unbearable strain, vast black rifts splitting open. Endless void storms howled through them, devouring everything. The land cracked apart, mountains toppled, and from the depths of the sundered earth, molten fire spewed forth, rising as colossal black pillars that pierced the heavens.

"How is this possible? Your power... Your power!" Kotaser’s roar rang out in shock and fury, its face twisted in disbelief as it stared at the black, feral figure descending like chaos incarnate and destruction summoned into the world.

The fact that the Dragon Emperor, at only the beginning stage of the true spirit level, could erupt with semi-primordial strength was already terrifying beyond measure. But to withstand Kotaser’s continuous suppression, bolstered by World Force and principle-imbued abilities, and then to reveal an even more dreadful form, this was beyond comprehension.

Primordial. Perhaps even stronger than an ordinary primordial. How do I even fight such a battle?

Even one as mighty as Kotaser, whose will was forged unbreakable over hundreds of thousands of years, felt despair seep into its eyes.

I am destruction. I am the end.

The voice resounded as if from the very depths of the world. Standing in the boundless darkness, the End Dragon slowly raised its right claw, and the entire world shook more violently still. Beyond the collapsing sky, a claw of darkness and extinction manifested, vast enough to cover the heavens.

As that apocalyptic strike descended, Kotaser bellowed in rage, "I refuse! Even if this is my calamity of detachment, today I will shatter this sky, I will break the upper realm of the chaotic void!"

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled. At Kotaser’s feet bloomed a blood-red lotus, formed from the life force of countless beings within the world. Its petals spread to cover a million kilometers. At the same time, the chaotic void around it tore apart, and the black power that condensed the passage of detachment gathered, forming an immense Battle Ax of Despair.

Blood-red flames erupted from Kotaser’s body, rising thousands of kilometers into the heavens, as endless, blazing vitality and an indomitable will surged skyward. Kotaser resembled a peerless demon god, facing suppression from the Heavenly Dao itself. Its true form swelled endlessly as it bore the World Force, burning everything in its wake.

"Kill!"

Its true form expanded to one hundred thousand kilometers. Raising the Ax of Despair, Kotaser cleaved toward the outer heavens.

Yet by now, the Dragon Emperor had become a force beyond words. In its End Form, it was no longer merely itself, but the incarnation of destruction and end. That strike carried not only its own might, but also the supreme power of destruction that had devoured countless worlds and planes.

Boom!

Under the black claw, the crystalline wall of the world shattered, forming a vast hollow. It was as if an otherworldly, world-ending evil god had pressed its claw into the land. Space, time, the principles of heaven and earth, even the hundred-thousand-kilometer-tall world-ending demon god blazing with blood flames, were all obliterated by that single claw. Continents spanning tens of millions of kilometers, jagged in shape, were torn through, leaving a hole ten million kilometers wide.

In that instant, the world fell silent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Only then did the destructive energy erupt in full, shattering the land at the world’s core. The ground exploded into fragments, flung into the black void. At the heart of the explosion, where all light and heat were swallowed by darkness, only one figure remained. It was immense and radiant with black brilliance.

The End Dragon roared. Behind it appeared the head of a colossal dragon, vast as a star, which lowered its jaws toward the earth.

"No!" A single despairing scream echoed through the world.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Great Thousand World of Kloy thundered with blood-red lightning. Red rain poured from the heavens, as if mourning the fall of its semi-primordial ruler.

It fell into a despair it had never known before, yet within that despair lay the spark of life. For the four remaining cities on the fragments of continent hurled into the void, and for the tens of millions of alien survivors, Kotaser’s death was the greatest fortune imaginable.

Boom!

The world shook. Before the heavy, shocked gazes of Kloy’s ancient-titan-level powerhouses, the black, world-ending figure stirred. Clutching the blood-red lotus in one claw and the black Ax of Despair in the other, it turned and vanished into the gaping hollow in the shattered wall of the world.

The darkness that blanketed the land began to recede, revealing a continent smashed into fragments and scattered into the endless void. Scarlet lightning danced across the heavens, and torrents of blood rained down.

"W-We survived! We survived!"

Amid the apocalyptic void, cries of elation burst forth. In the sacred cities, countless aliens knelt, weeping and screaming to release the terror pent up within their hearts. Even the powerhouses above the mythical level trembled with emotion.

They had survived.

The events of this day would never be forgotten by any who remained of Kloy, and with the shattering of Kloy's continent, a new era began. Four new civilizations arose on the continental fragments drifting through the void. In each of their histories, this day was forever recorded:

The great demon god that devoured worlds was slain, and with it perished the radiant ancient era. Just as it was about to transcend and detach into the upper chaos, the dark-red beast of the outer heavens arrived, tore apart the world, and devoured the demon god.

***

In the mythical world, the awakened powerhouses stared at the extinguished golden-red starlight in the heavens, only to see a black-and-red radiance reappear, even brighter than before. Their eyes were filled with shock.

That newly ascended Primordial Star seemed to have fallen. It had been slain by the primordial colossal beast that had just broken through and entered the chaotic heavens!

𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

On the black battleship, Chen Chu also lifted his gaze toward the outer heavens. Watching the blazing black-and-red radiance, his eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems that the people inside the mythical world see a different picture when they look outward. The images are warped and folded. Without sufficient strength, one can’t look directly into the outer heavens, huh?"

Only the slumbering colossal beast that was the mythical world itself could have accomplished such a thing.

Ao Tian, you’re incredible!

Big Brother is invincible, badass!

In the chaotic void, seeing the black-and-red colossal beast return from the collapsing passage, the Silver Colossal Dragon and the Little Purple Dragon both cheered excitedly. The beast, having withdrawn from its End Form, lowered its head. Seeing the Purple Dragon circling it with excitement, the corner of its mouth twitched. The Silver Dragon, after being corrected, had already abandoned crude phrases like "too awesome" and "badass," yet this Purple Dragon, only a few months old, still remembered them.

Energy surged within the Dragon Emperor of the End. Its immense body was growing visibly, surpassing 250,000 meters. Muscles and bones expanded, forcing its armored scales apart with loud cracking sounds.

Exhaling slowly, the Dragon Emperor let out a deep rumble, red destructive light spraying from its nostrils.

The gains this time aren’t bad. Saixitia, Xiao Yi, one for each of you.

It spread its right claw. Resting within were four Life Lotus Seeds, each a hundred meters wide and shaped like a rhomboid crystal. The shadow of a golden-red world faintly appeared within each seed, brimming with boundless life energy. The instant they emerged, both the Silver Dragon and the Purple Dragon were overwhelmed by an instinctive urge to devour them.

The world-ending giant had originally intended to consume the Life Lotus upon breaking free of its world and descending into the chaotic void. It would have used the blazing fire of creation within them to ignite primordial qi and draw upon chaotic power to fully reach the primordial level. However, before it could escape its world’s shackles, the Dragon Emperor, which had waited several days, had struck without hesitation, shattering and devouring it. All that accumulated preparation naturally fell into the Dragon Emperor’s hands.

Of the four seeds, one went to the Silver Dragon as payment for guiding the way, another to the Little Purple Dragon to accelerate its growth in power. The remaining two were for Chen Chu himself. It was just what he needed to swiftly complete the fusion of the Primordial Genesis principle and break through to the true spirit level before reaching the human divine regions.
