Chapter 586: Obliterated With Three Strikes, I Shall Devour Him

Due to the extended battlefront, Alexis was still several hundred kilometers away from the frontlines of Battlefield Three.

Standing atop the peak of a mountain, it managed to make out signs of artillery fire in the distance. It could also see explosions and feel tremors that rumbled through the earth.

Bloodlust gleamed in Its eyes.

Countless humans were gathered there.

Behind Alexis, the nine-headed colossal beast growled lowly. The chaotic roars of its hill-sized dragon heads shook the atmosphere.

Your Highness, you’ve already used your demon god mark. For the sake of your safety, I suggest avoiding the direct battlefield.

Many hidden human experts are lurking beyond the battlefield. Hunting those so-called geniuses would still inflict harm upon humanity.

Alexis calmly but resolutely replied, "Killing a few ordinary human geniuses will not compensate for my loss. I must step onto the battlefield. Otherwise, upon my return..."

He paused briefly. His tone grew colder. "With my strength, do you truly believe that humans of the same level pose a threat to me?"

On the battlefield, humans of the same level are no match for you, Your Highness, but you must keep an eye out for assassins and even human kings lurking in the shadows.

Wars of Civilizations were called "meat grinders" because they often claimed the lives of even prodigious geniuses with extraordinary talent.

In this vast warzone, which spanned thousands of kilometers, safety could never be guaranteed.

Even kings risked death, and ordinary soldiers who broke through their mortal limits through relentless combat often became targets for skilled assassins.

Some transcendent assassins, having honed their craft to the limit, even dared attack demon kings.

This was why every War of Civilization became a grand feast for assassins of both factions.

The chaos of the battlefield allowed them to rack up achievements, striking quickly and disappearing without a trace. Even a furious king-level expert couldn’t always capture them.

Hence, the dark colossal beast couldn’t help but be concerned.

Alexis had already used its demon god mark. If targeted by an expert skilled in assassinations, maybe even a king-level human, it would be in deep danger.

Despite being comparable to an ordinary demon king at full strength, Alexis was still a middle-stage Ninth Demonic Mark cultivator; it was fundamentally weaker than a true demon king.

A true demon king had a body refined through laws, nearly indestructible vitality for as long as their law origin hadn’t been exhausted, and superior energy perception and control.

However, Alexis calmly dismissed the colossal beast’s concerns. "Isn’t that what you’re here for? More importantly, I am no weakling. I’m a descendant of the Great Demon God, strong enough to rival demon kings at the middle stage of the Ninth Demonic Mark."

Boom!

The mountain peak crumbled as Alexis transformed into a streak of black light and soared into the sky.

While Alexis headed toward the frontline, Chen Chu—who had obliterated thousands of flying mutated beasts—attracted the attention of two powerful Purgatory Demons.

Boom! Boom!

Tens of kilometers from the frontline, two bursts of demonic force erupted. Two streaks of black light then shot across the horizon, heading directly toward Chen Chu.

"Intercept them!"

"Hold the humans off!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within a range of hundreds of kilometers, waves of Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Realm auras erupted. Powerful humans, Purgatory Demons, and high-level aliens engaged each other in battle.

Instead of using the Purgatory Clan’s numerical advantage, two middle-stage Ninth Demonic Mark experts broke free and charged toward Chen Chu, who stood tall in the skies.

Moving at nearly ten times the speed of sound, the two top-level experts closed the distance to Chen Chu in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The two demons unleashed an endless tide of dark demonic qi, merging it into a massive black cloud that obscured the sky and an area that spanned tens of kilometers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rampaging demonic qi collided with the thousand-meter-wide Thunder Fiery Domain surrounding Chen Chu, unleashing waves of powerful energy ripples that illuminated the battlefield.

Beneath the swirling black cloud stood a demon that towered over a hundred meters, clad in thick black armor bristling with sharp bone spikes. The Purgatory Demon exuded a late-stage Ninth Demonic Mark presence.

Staring at Chen Chu, who stood at the center of the Thunder Fiery Domain, the enormous figure known as Kavasto imbued its voice with spiritual will, causing it to echo through the battlefield.

"Remember this day, human! I am Kavasto, commander of the Morkaya Empire’s Thirty-Seventh Vassal Legion and a Purgatory Demon Clan member! I will be the one to end your miserable life!"

From the other side of the black cloud emerged a middle-stage Ninth Demonic Mark demon. It was fifty meters tall and had three long dragon tails swaying behind him.

"A beginning-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator dares venture deep into the frontlines? You’re too arrogant, human. Today, I shall take your head—"

"You talk too much,” Chen Chu coldly interrupted.

Boom!

A rapidly expanding circle of interwoven thunderbolts and flames erupted from Chen Chu, neutralizing the demonic qi.

From afar, it looked as though a radiant circle of light—several kilometers in diameter—pierced the dark clouds that loomed over dozens of kilometers.

The collision of domains unleashed concentric ripples of energy. At the center of the expanding, hollow halo, a blood-red light burst out and manifested a vision of a mountain of skeletal remains amid a sea of blood.

At its peak stood Chen Chu, clad in crimson armor. His halberd, hair, and eyes glowed a deep red, and behind him, a blood-red light wheel slowly rotated.

Chen Chu unleashed an unimaginably fearsome aura. With the power of hell summoned, his transformation into a demon god skyrocketed his strength to the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

Standing in the middle of the scattering thunderbolts, flames, and the blood-red glow illuminating the shattered sky, Chen Chu looked like a war god stepping forth from the depths of hell.

The dramatic leap from the beginning stage of the Ninth Heavenly Realm to peak quasi-mythical level momentarily stunned the two demons.

Taking advantage of their hesitation, Chen Chu vanished and reappeared above the head of the three-tailed demon, his halberd emitting dazzling brilliance.

Boom!

Manifested as blood-red light, the power of hell coiled around the halberd. Chen Chu cleaved through the demonic qi domain, tearing open a rift over ten kilometers long.

The domineering blow compressed the surrounding space, leaving the demon, Carrol, no choice but to face it head-on. Escape was impossible.

"The Purgatory True Demon Clan is invincible! Die!"

As a warrior who had clawed their way to prominence from a vassal race, ultimately transforming into a Purgatory Demon by the power of the demon god's blood, Carrol felt no despair when confronted with a fatal strike. Instead, it was consumed by a frenzied battle will.

Boom!

A secret art engulfed Carrol’s demonic power, flesh, and soul, causing its aura to surge tenfold. The amassed power channeled into its elongated, razor-sharp blade.

"Kill!"

With a roar, an almost-kilometer-long, matchlessly sharp black saber light cleaved upward from the ground. Seemingly capable of severing even the heavens, it sliced apart everything in its path—including matter, energy, and even space. It left behind nothing but a dark trail.

At the same time, a mountain-sized warhammer—equal in length to the saber light—descended from within the roiling demonic clouds above Chen Chu.

Radiating an indescribably destructive force, it made the surrounding air collapse and sent liquid-like concentric waves exploding outward.

With impeccable timing, the two demons unleashed their full power in a pincer attack.

Boom!

The blood-red halberd clashed with the razor-sharp saber light, disintegrating the latter with the hellish power of hell. Its massive blade then struck Carrol. From a distance, it looked as though a thousand-meter-long weapon had crashed down upon the earth.

Boom!

Blinding crimson light burst on impact, fracturing several kilometers of land. Countless earth and stone fragments were blasted away.

The devastating shockwave transformed into a tempest that swept through ten kilometers, churning up dust and debris. It shredded the countless unmanned mechs and alien soldiers in its path.

This was the power of a top-level powerhouse. The aftermath of their battle alone wrought catastrophic destruction. Fortunately, the experienced human cultivators retreated decisively to safer distances the moment their strongest combatant arrived.

As Chen Chu annihilated Carrol with a single strike, the warhammer struck him with earth-shattering force, compressing and fracturing the surrounding space. It then unleashed rippling black energy waves.

Boom!

A black-and-red shockwave burst from the impact point in the sky, sweeping through everything within more than ten kilometers and destroying the demonic qi domain.

Beneath the enormous warhammer, Chen Chu stood with his left arm raised, blocking the weapon. In front of his hand, four crystalline barriers shimmered and pulsated.

It was a sight to behold—a lone figure holding back a city-destroying, apocalyptic strike with one arm.

As Chen Chu held off Kavasto's all-out strike amid the sea of blood, a shadow silently appeared a dozen meters behind him.

Lacking killing intent or energy fluctuations, the shadow darted toward Chen Chu like a phantom at lightning speed. It then thrust the five-meter-long black spike in its hand through the void and toward Chen Chu’s back, leaving a faint black trace in its trail.

However, Chen Chu abruptly turned his head, the icy and indifferent gaze behind his faceplate landing on the shadow as his halberd unleashed blood-red brilliance.

Imbued with the apocalyptic domain’s power, the unimaginably heavy Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd struck the assassin at supersonic speed, making it seem as though it had been hit with a compressed mountain range.

Boom!

A crescent slash spanning hundreds of meters materialized in mid-air, instantly obliterating the middle-stage Ninth Demonic Mark assassin.

The kilometer-long blood-red halberd then pierced the heavens, shattering the warhammer's projection. Its unstoppable force slashed toward Kavasoto.

The nearly quasi-mythical Kavasoto roared in rage. Shrouded in demonic qi, it gripped its warhammer, which radiated dreadful energy.

Infused with the power of Kavasoto’s entire domain, the hammer distorted space like a black hole as it collided with the halberd.

Boom!

The heavens and the earth trembled as a massive explosion of halberd light illuminated the entire battlefield.

Surrounded by radiant halos, Chen Chu took advantage of the chaos and appeared above Kavasoto at a speed that exceeded perceptual awareness. Kavasoto could only instinctively raise its hammer in defense.

Boom!

Kavasoto’s colossal warhammer was nearly two hundred meters long and had a head that was as large as a skyscraper. In comparison, Chen Chu’s blood-enshrouded halberd looked like a mere toothpick.

Nevertheless, at the moment of impact, an indescribable force exploded forth and shattered the hammer’s handle. To Kavasoto’s horror, its protective domain and defenses also disintegrated.

Boom!

Kavasoto plummeted like a meteor from the blood-red explosion in the sky. It slammed into the devastated ground below, the impact destroying everything within a thousand-meter radius. Debris and dust soared skyward.

Amid the swirling storm of destruction, Chen Chu stood on Kavasoto’s headless corpse. His blood-red hair flowed wildly, radiating an overwhelming presence.

Their entire battle—from the moment he unleashed his demonic domain to Kavasoto’s death—only lasted a few minutes. Most of it had been wasted on Kavasoto’s initial ploy to distract Chen Chu with dialogue; the actual battle ended in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Chu had decisively crushed three Ninth Demonic Mark demons.

Remarkably, throughout the confrontation, he had only employed the prowess of true martial art. He didn’t even utilize the overwhelming power of his Innate Demon God Body.

Even so, the sheer ferocity of his strength left the battlefield in stunned silence. In the skies above, two demon kings locked in fierce combat with human kings exchanged grim looks, their eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Although still at the beginning stage of the Ninth Demonic Mark, Chen Chu already possessed combat prowess rivaling quasi-mythical beings. If allowed to ascend to the middle or late stages, he would become utterly monstrous.

That human has to die!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

High above, the battle between the two human kings and two demon kings grew increasingly intense. The clashes of their principles unleashed suffocating pressure, making countless humans and alien forces struggle to breathe.

As the king-level battle raged, Chen Chu coldly and indifferently gazed into the distance.

On a distant hill over ten kilometers away stood a three-meter-tall demon clad in dark-gold battle armor. Its nine demonic horns formed a crown-like silhouette.

The demon's middle-stage Ninth Demonic Mark aura made Chen Chu feel a faint sense of pressure—a testament to the demon’s exceptional power. It could very well be a descendant of a demon god.

A flicker of excitement and battle intent flashed through Chen Chu’s eyes.

How many strikes can that one withstand?

Alexis—the demon Chen Chu was looking at—had just witnessed Chen Chu obliterate three Ninth Demonic Mark demons in an instant. Hence, it couldn’t help but show a similar fervor.

Although Chen Chu was just at the beginning stage of the Ninth Demonic Mark, his quasi-mythical power exuded an aura that seemed even stronger than that of a human warrior with an ancient relic inheritance.

Chen Chu likely had an extraordinary legacy.

Devouring his inheritance and absorbing his racial fate will further purify my bloodline and bring me closer to the Primordial Ancestor.

Alexis howled. It then transformed into a streak of light and charged toward Chen Chu.
