Chapter 546: Judgment of Death, True Godslayer Chen Chu (II)

Without warning, Chen Chu’s aura surged explosively, breaking into the late stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm. The space around him rippled with white shockwaves, spiraling into a gale that roared outward in all directions.

As his cultivation base soared, Chen Chu’s body underwent a dramatic transformation. Under the radiance of crackling lightning and raging flames, he morphed into a fifty-meter-tall demon god. A terrifying pressure emanated from him, shaking the Heart of the World to its core.

The oppressive force, almost tangible, weighed down like a mountain. Carola and the other two cultists faltered under its might, their faces filled with shock. "Impossible!"

It wasn’t Chen Chu’s Eighth Heavenly Realm power that stunned them—it was the sheer audacity of breaking through at will.

Of course, Chen Chu hadn’t achieved this breakthrough on a whim. He had long since reached the threshold of the late stage; he merely used the opportunity to advance naturally.

Now, with his cultivation stabilized, Chen Chu’s presence grew even more formidable.

In this state, his War God Body had become exponentially stronger. The five Runic Divine Seeds within him were evolving into divine abilities, amplifying his overall power from a thirtyfold boost at the middle stage to a staggering fortyfold at the late stage.

Boom!

The ground cracked and crumbled over a radius of several hundred meters. Chen Chu stepped forward, appearing kilometers away in an instant. A dark golden halberd, over a hundred meters long, materialized in his hand, its edges shimmering with devastating brilliance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Chu swung the halberd and released four golden-red arcs of light, each over a hundred meters long. The halberd strikes tore through the atmosphere, obliterating everything in their path. The earth shattered, and the force of the attack was nothing short of catastrophic.

"Be careful!"

"Despicable!"

Two of the cultists transformed into massive nine-headed blood pythons, each over a hundred meters long. They roared and surged forward, cloaked in a torrent of blood-red energy, attempting to block the incoming attacks.

Carola leaped in front of Akunus. His Blood Sea Domain expanded to encompass hundreds of meters, with a colossal blood python coiling around him, howling in defiance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth quaked as four explosions of golden flames, each several hundred meters in size, engulfed the battlefield, releasing an unending flow of destructive heat and light.

Under the Heavenly Flame Dragon Burial's explosion, the two massive nine-headed blood pythons were torn apart instantly, exploding into fresh blood that contained their spiritual will.

Before they could recondense using the power of the blood sea, the droplets of blood were immediately vaporized by the intense heat.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Carola’s Blood Sea Domain trembled under the relentless assault, contracting with each wave of force. The impact caused his blood energy to churn violently within his body, leaving him shaken and disoriented.

What kind of monster is this?

A late-stage Eighth Heavenly Realm cultivator, annihilating Ninth Realm opponents with such ease... The overwhelming disparity in power left his blood boiling in fear.

Behind him, Akunus’s expression darkened.

He hadn’t anticipated this. In just two months, the Federation genius had not only advanced to the late stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, but had also grown strong enough to dominate the battlefield.

Though Akunus had once witnessed this genius defeat his beginning-stage Eighth Heavenly Realm avatar while at the late stage of the Sixth, this situation was different.

The power gap between minor and major realms was vast, particularly at advanced levels. Yet Chu Batian, standing before him now, had seemingly bridged that chasm. His unprecedented strength could only be attributed to the nature of the Innate Demon God and the massive absorption of Profound Yellow Qi.

Killing intent surged even more intensely in Akunus' eyes at the thought.

This wretch dared to absorb my Profound Yellow Qi. Today, he has to die.

Amid the chaotic explosion and the swirling waves of energy that obscured vision, Akunus' voice was low and commanding. "Carola, I need your sacrifice."

"To offer myself as a sacrifice for my god is the highest honor," the elder responded fervently. Without hesitation, his body erupted in an instant.

Boom!

With the sacrifice of a late stage Ninth Heavenly Realm powerhouse, a terrifying power exploded forth.

From a distance, Chen Chu saw blood light shimmering on the edge of the earth, manifesting into an illusory blood sea world in the air. Within the sea of blood, countless Blood Cult followers knelt in prayer.

Carola's strength as a late-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator was immense. As an extension of Blood God Akunus' will, Carola did not need to cultivate or break through stages; his power rose alongside Akunus' own.

In the past, when Akunus was a mythical king, Carola had reached the quasi-mythical level.

If Akunus advanced to the heavenly-king level, the feedback from faith would elevate Carola to the mythical level, making him a subordinate deity.

However, as Akunus' cultivation fell from the mythical level, so too did Carola's strength. Now, the time had come for Carola to offer himself in service to his god.

In a moment too swift for Chen Chu to intervene, a chant resonated in the void. Endless blood light pierced through space, descending into reality. Instantly, Akunus' aura skyrocketed.

Boom!

The aura emanating from Akunus reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, brushing the edge of the quasi-mythical level.

Blood light, so thick it appeared tangible, radiated outward, shaking the ground and distorting space. The energy coalesced around him into a nine-headed blood python, over three hundred meters long.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The python, condensed from the laws of blood, raised its heads to the heavens and let out a deafening roar. The immense pressure created shockwaves that swept across several kilometers.

This was Akunus' purpose for bringing these elite Blood Cult bishops with him: if they faced an overwhelming threat, they would offer themselves as sacrifices.

"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Chu Batian, today I will tear you apart!"

Transformed into a quasi-mythical nine-headed blood python, Akunus roared with rage. A tidal wave of blood light surged toward Chen Chu, a spectacle of overwhelming power.

Regaining a semblance of mythical strength—even if just a quasi-mythical entity—filled Akunus with unshakable confidence.

With his cultivation at the peak of the king level, wielding quasi-mythical power, his strength far exceeded that of ordinary quasi-mythical-level cultivators.

The quasi-mythical level was nominally the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm, but it was essentially an entirely separate realm—half a god. The laws they wielded were incomparably powerful.

He didn’t believe that this Federation freak could defeat him with mere Eighth Heavenly Realm cultivation...

Boom!

Chen Chu's body crackled with thunderbolts, and flames compressed around him. The halberd in his hand gleamed like a maxed out divine artifact, radiating blinding light. With the force of creation itself, he slashed downward.

Boom!

An indescribable destructive force erupted, forming a crescent-shaped halberd light over five hundred meters tall. It tore through the sky with earth-shattering force.

The strike obliterated the ground entirely, carving a rift several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide. The incoming tidal wave of blood was instantly annihilated.

Boom!

The nine-headed blood python, wrapped in laws, exploded under the attack. The devastating energy shook the entire world, causing stars to tremble.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Amid the sky of blood light, the shattered form of the nine-headed blood python reassembled at a distance. All nine of its heads fixed their eyes on Chen Chu, filled with disbelief.

Impossible! My form, infused with the laws of blood, has been destroyed in a single strike. How can this be? How has his power reached the realm of law-based strength? This is impossible!

Akunus felt as if the world had gone completely insane.

Why were king-level powerhouses hailed as beings before whom all under the mythical level were mere ants? Their dominance lay in their mastery of the power of laws, a force so terrifying that only strength of the same level could hope to contend with it.

But this Federation genius, who had only reached the Eighth Heavenly Realm, wielded a power that rivaled the might of laws!

Jealousy, envy, and madness surged within Akunus, driving him completely unhinged. "

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Sacrifice of the Blood Sea! I will bury you!"

Boom!

As the nine-headed blood python ignited its vitality and unleashed its law-based ability, a tangible world of blood descended from above, radiating a force capable of crushing space and the very fabric of the world.

As the world of blood slowly descended from the sky, Chen Chu, in his Battle Demon God form, gazed at it coldly. His black-gold vertical pupils, vast enough to blot out the heavens, emerged within his eyes.

Boom!

Behind Chen Chu, his four electric and fiery arms formed seals, and four worlds, infused with World Star Core Fragments, manifested. Around him, endless streams of blood light unfurled, creating an apocalyptic domain spanning over a kilometer.

Amid the surging sea of blood, a pair of massive black-gold eyes appeared, shrouded in the power of the Double Void Pupil, comparable to the strength of laws. A crimson world, a thousand meters in diameter, burst forth into the sky.

From afar, it seemed as though two worlds—one larger, one smaller—were colliding.

Boom!

The moment the two worlds clashed, a blinding light erupted. The heavens and earth trembled violently as the ground, spanning dozens of kilometers in diameter, shattered into pieces.

Amid the earth-shattering explosion, the Heart of the World spun in chaos. Furious currents of destruction swept across everything, shaking the very heavens and earth.

Such an apocalyptic explosion was beyond even Chen Chu's control. The protective world barriers around him shattered layer by layer, until a pair of blazing phoenix wings unfurled from his back.

Boom!

A fiery explosion rippled outward from Chen Chu, forming a fiery ring that expanded before being obliterated by the even stronger shockwave of the exploding world.

In the devastating blast, not only was Chen Chu affected, but Akunus' blood python form was once again obliterated. Among the blood light filling the air, Akunus' enraged roars echoed.

"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As long as the blood sea endures, I cannot die. I refuse to believe I cannot exhaust you!"

Chu Batian, after all, was only at the late stage of the Eighth Heavenly Realm. It was impossible for anyone, even one with the body of an Innate Demon God, to sustain such explosive power indefinitely.

At that moment, however, amid the chaotic torrents of destruction, a pair of black-gold vertical pupils reappeared, vast and dominating. Within the pupils, a gray fissure opened, and in an instant, death descended.

"Death? How is this possible?!"

Boom!

Under the infinite gray light, the flowing sea of blood abruptly froze.

𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"No! No! No! The blood sea endures, how could I die?!"

A massive face surfaced in the sea of blood, filled with terror. Its despairing roars echoed as blood light erupted, attempting to stave off the encroaching death.

However, under the might of the laws of death, the churning blood sea was powerless to resist. Death descended relentlessly, draining the sea of its life force until it emitted a foul stench of decay, as though it had already rotted for months.

Boom!

With the collapse of the blood sea, a torrential rain of blood suddenly fell amid the chaotic currents of destruction, transforming into countless drops of foul, decayed blood that drifted through the void.

At the same time, a Blood Moon appeared high in the sky, slowly plummeting.

Amid the downpour of blood, Chen Chu stood tall, over fifty meters high in his three-faced, six-armed form, surrounded by thunderbolts and flames. Holding his halberd, he exuded a terrifying aura.

"What a weak god."
