Chapter 525: Space-Time Summoning, The Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast Summoned (I)

Boom!

Without a word, the human and demon kings clashed, sparking an explosive battle.

Chen Wang, the Sky-Splitting Sword, transformed into a towering stream of golden sword light, illuminating the heavens. Swirling with an intense sword will, the sword light stretched across the sky like a vast river.

Underneath the endless, fearsome sword light, the void erupted, shattering everything in its path with a terrifying force.

Meanwhile, Bright Blade King Mu Jun took a single step, crossing several kilometers in an instant. A majestic aura erupted from him as the saber in his hand surged with a saber light stretching hundreds of meters, gleaming like fine jade.

The tangible saber edge was infused with saber will and the power of laws, tearing through space and leaving behind a dark, elongated plane that severed everything in its wake. Compared to the silver-haired youth's boundless river of sword light, the Bright Blade King exuded an even more powerful aura.

Facing the assault from two middle-stage mythical-level kings, the Battle Demon King Augusta stood impassively in a sea of black flames, his eyes glinting with a fierce and deadly gleam.

Boom!

Augusta’s form swelled rapidly, his demonic qi erupting in waves. In an instant, he grew to over two hundred meters, revealing his true form: a demon king engulfed in black hellfire.

Winding around his monstrous arms were two blazing dragons, formed from the principles of hellfire, burning through the void as they writhed in his grasp.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, countless golden sword lights struck a hellish domain spanning over a thousand meters, created by endless infernal flames. The clash and entanglement of opposing laws unleashed waves of destructive impact.

Amid the constant collision and dissolution, the massive golden sword qi abruptly expanded, engulfing the sky and transforming it into a golden world of swords.

Countless golden sword lights spun and tore through the hellfire, shredding everything in their path and suppressing Augusta's law-infused power.

Surrounded by saber will comparable to the power of laws, Mu Jun charged into the demonic domain, unleashing fierce strikes against Augusta. Each flash of his saber light struck like lightning, shaking the heavens and earth with each blow.

The collision of their laws sent shockwaves spanning over a dozen kilometers, creating a cataclysmic uproar.

Whenever a flash of saber light or a streak of sword qi struck the ground, the earth would instantly collapse, forming deep rifts hundreds of meters long and shredding mutated creatures into fragments of flesh.

Within the battlefield, the space itself became highly unstable, continuously quaking under the influence of such extreme powers of law.

With the two kings’ combined assault, the mighty Augusta, who once exuded an aura of unmatched menace, found himself firmly suppressed.

From afar, it appeared as if a hell of demonic flames had emerged in the sky, surrounded and locked down by a golden world of swords, leaving Augusta no escape.

Chen Wang and Mu Jun adopted a straightforward approach, combining their potent sword will and saber will with the true martial laws. Though singular in nature, their power was overwhelming, an unstoppable force of destruction.

Augusta was undeniably powerful, yet despite wielding two types of law, he found himself held at bay by the combined assault of the human kings.

Amid the relentless attack on the formidable Augusta, the powerful figure that even the demon kings viewed with caution finally made his move.

Boom!

A terrifying force burst from Hong Zhantian, distorting the surrounding space. The red moonlight above was drawn into the gravitational pull of his power, as though a black hole had formed.

Hong Zhantian's imposing form, filled with an aura that dominated the heavens, launched a fist. Instantly, the void howled, and the earth trembled.

Under the impact of that monstrous punch, the world itself seemed to fracture, and a phantasmal, shattered world descended from the sky, filled with the ultimate power of destruction.

As Dayianna found herself locked in place, unable to evade, her expression shifted dramatically. "The Destructive Fist of the Heavens! But if you think that alone can kill me, you're mistaken!"

Bang!

Behind Dayianna, the void twisted and fractured as colossal white bone claws, each hundreds of meters long, emerged from its depths. Each claw was wreathed in black law-infused power as it soared skyward.

Hong Zhantian threw another punch, and the space below compressed and overlapped, shaking the sky and trembling the earth. Under the unstoppable force, the massive claws shattered one by one.

Boom!

The space collapsed as Dayianna exploded from the domineering power, and a mountain peak several kilometers away crumbled, split in two by the impact of the punch.

Half of the mountain, thousands of meters tall, collapsed, sending shockwaves through the land. Dust clouds billowed, and shattered rocks rained down like the end of days.

Just then, Hong Zhantian, floating tens of thousands of meters in the air, struck out with another punch, causing the void far away to reveal the two-hundred-meter-tall true form of the Void Demon King.

Boom!

With absolute power, his punch obliterated everything in a radius of over a thousand meters, transforming the high-altitude space into chaos and engulfing Dayianna in utter destruction.

There was no intricate display of laws, just raw, unmatched strength.

Dayianna, titled the Void Demon King, controlled the laws of the void, her soul and body merged with it. Though she was blown up twice, her aura only weakened slightly.

However, her unique void techniques were innately countered by Hong Zhantian’s absolute power. With his late-stage mythical level power, the disparity in strength became clear; in only a few exchanges, Dayianna was suppressed, and her aura diminished.

Mythical-level powerhouses tempered their divine souls and bodies with the power of laws, making them exceedingly difficult to kill in a short time, unless the power gap was extreme.

With five mythical-level figures battling, the clash of their laws stirred the heavens and earth. Winds howled across hundreds of kilometers, the ground shook, and transcendent energy turned violently chaotic.

After the initial clash, the three human kings intentionally drew the battlefield away from Chen Chu and the others below. Even so, the residual pressure left everyone below visibly shaken.

Witnessing such overwhelming power, Qingqiu Minghui and the others felt excited. Their bodies erupted with true power, pushing back against the oppressive kingly aura pressing in from all directions.

Under this terrifying might, the distant beasts became restless. Eyes filled with bloodlust and rage glinted beneath the Blood Moon, while also containing a flicker of fear.

These mutated creatures were influenced by the Blood Moon and had become more ferocious, their instincts unleashed. Drawn by the lure of divine energy, they gathered, yet they hadn’t completely lost their sense of reason.

Katoto’s expression grew grim; he hadn’t anticipated that his ambush on Chu Batian would be foiled by a human counterattack.

Faced with three human kings—particularly ones of such formidable strength—the two demon kings were immediately suppressed. There was even a chance that one of them could fall today.

This realization caused Katoto’s face to darken. If one of the demon kings perished due to his misjudgment, he’d face severe consequences from the empire’s higher ups, if he even survived.

As for Jin Chengmin, his face had gone deathly pale, his legs trembling—he knew he was doomed.

Dayianna’s icy voice echoed from the sky, urgent and commanding. "Katoto, quickly, kill those humans!"

Although they had been forced onto the defensive, the two demon kings didn’t immediately flee. With the human kings tied down, there was still a chance to eliminate the human genius.

As soon as Dayianna’s voice fell, a massive black dragon head in the infernal realm of blazing hellfire, surrounded by the golden sword world, exploded.

Boom!

The resulting surge of destructive power tore open a rift in the golden sword world. Red droplets rained down from the sky, emitting an aura that stirred mutated beasts within hundreds of kilometers into a frenzy.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

At the entrance to the mountains, the mutated beasts, momentarily subdued by the pressure of the mythical-level battle, let out even more crazed roars and surged toward the valley with thunderous momentum.

Tens of thousands of mutated flying creatures filled the sky, their wings spanning dozens of meters and stirring up fierce winds as they stormed forward.

"Be careful," Chen Chu warned. His halberd glowed brightly as it swept in an explosive golden-red arc that spanned hundreds of meters, shredding and obliterating mutated beasts mid-air as it passed.

Immediately after, four beams of golden halberd light, each a hundred meters long, shot forth. Shaped like crescent moons, the beams expanded as they cleaved through the sky, landing amid a swarm of mutated avian creatures above and exploding.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four massive flaming suns appeared high above, the extreme heat instantly incinerating the surrounding mutated birds into ash. In the blink of an eye, the thousand-plus mutated birds diving from above were annihilated, and their remains rained down, raising clouds of dust with every impact.

As Chen Chu became entangled with the beasts, however, Katoto unleashed a powerful surge of middle-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm demonic qi from the entrance to the distant valley, his body swelling.

In an instant, he transformed into a towering Purgatory True Demon over fifty meters tall, with two heads and four arms. Demonic qi surged within a six-hundred-meter radius, creating a domain that disrupted space around him.

A menacing force unique to the Purgatory True Demon Clan spread outward, an invisible life-stage suppression. Lan Caiwei and her companions turned pale in response.

With the human kings occupied, none of them, all at the early to middle stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, could possibly stand against this middle-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm Purgatory Demon.

Dayianna and Augusta shared this confidence; the power difference was simply too vast.

However, the human kings restraining them seemed unperturbed. According to intelligence reports, Chen Chu had previously unleashed a combat strength equivalent to the Ninth Heavenly Realm during tests at the front base.

Even if he couldn’t win, he could hold his ground until they subdued the two demon kings.

"

Roar!

Die, human!"

Boom!

The earth fractured as Katoto crossed several kilometers in a flash, a surge of demonic qi rolling forth to engulf Chen Chu. Intense pressure closed in from all directions.

Under the suppression of the domain, transcendent energy around Chen Chu began to dissipate. Meanwhile, strands of dark demonic qi gathered in Katoto’s hand, forming a hundred-meter-long Demonic Dragon Spear.

Boom!

The deadly spear pierced through space, leaving a dark tunnel in its wake, and spiraled into a destructive vortex of demonic qi that twisted like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Just as Katoto’s domain closed in, a red rune glowed between Chen Chu’s brows, and an apocalyptic, blood-red light burst forth, expanding into the Apocalypse Purgatory Domain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision of the two domains sent powerful shockwaves rippling outward with flashes of red and black light. Blood-red light forced open a hundred-meter-wide space within Katoto’s demonic qi domain.

Chen Chu stood like both a deity and a demon in the Blood Sea Purgatory, surrounded by red light. The halberd in his hand surged with violet-red light, transforming into a hundred-meter-long weapon.

Boom!

The halberd, wrapped with thunderbolts and flames, clashed with the Demonic Dragon Spear. The impact released a shockwave that shattered the ground for hundreds of meters around, sending soil and stone flying into the air.

Amid the scorching, destructive, and dark energies, a rapidly expanding black-and-red orb of light formed, pushing their domains to their limits.

In the center of the chaotic turbulence, Chen Chu stood tall in a crater over two hundred meters wide, surrounded by lightning and blazing with golden flames, halberd raised to block the spear above him.

From a distance, Jin Chengmin’s eyes widened in shock. "How is this possible?!"

To him, the middle-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm demon, whose mere aura could instill terror and despair, should have easily overpowered a beginning-stage Eighth Heavenly Realm fighter like Chen Chu.

Lan Caiwei and the others were equally stunned. For a beginning-stage Eighth Heavenly Realm fighter to clash head-on with a middle-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm demon in its true form, and only be slightly at a disadvantage—Chen Chu’s power was truly terrifying.

Chen Chu gazed at the towering figure wreathed in demonic qi before him and slowly spoke. "You’re strong. Now, I’ll get serious."

"

Roar!

Human, you’re courting death!"

Katoto felt insulted.

How dare a mere Eighth Mark human praise my strength?

Katoto's two rear arms gripped the spear, releasing an even greater surge of power that pressed down upon Chen Chu like a storm within the dark domain.

Boom!

Chen Chu felt the immense weight as his violet-red halberd, imbued with the power of his domain and true dragon power, began to quiver under the strain. The ground within a hundred-meter radius sank ten meters, yet still, he resisted the crushing force.

Back when he was at the middle stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm, Chen Chu’s normal strength had reached the late stage of the Eighth. In his Battle Dragon Emperor form, he could even rival the peak of the Eighth Realm.

After breaking through to the beginning stage of the Eighth Realm and forming the True Dragon Battle Body by establishing four worlds, his power, augmented by five divine seeds, had soared to the beginning stage of the Ninth in peak form.

This leap from beginning-stage Eighth to beginning-stage Ninth—a full major realm—was terrifying.

In addition, when the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor evolved to late-stage level 9 and the quasi-mythical level, and then undertook its fifth evolution into a mythical colossal beast, the physical feedback had made Chen Chu’s body even more monstrous.

As his foundation grew stronger, his power became more fearsome. With the amplification from the divine seeds granting him twenty times his usual strength and defense, his increased physical might now bolstered his combat abilities to extraordinary levels.

Now, in this close-range clash against Katoto, Chen Chu realized his normal peak combat power was on par with an average middle-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm fighter. This immense leap in power left him both amazed and exhilarated.

After all, when the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor had been at the beginning stage of level 8, it could only contend with average beginning-stage level 9 colossal beasts. Only after enhancing its abilities and raising its bloodline to emperor-level could it defeat middle-stage level 9 beasts.

Even so, defeating this demon in a few moves was going to be challenging.
