Chapter 593: The Fall of Demon Kings (I)

Just as Chen Chu shouted that he could take another shot, the mark on the back of his hand radiated light. Countless sequences of runes danced around him, forming a summoning altar hundreds of meters tall beneath him. Above his head, a deep-blue halo, with a diameter of a hundred meters, slowly rotated, emitting a faint aura that seemed to twist space-time and reverse causality.

High in the sky, a thousand meters above, Ling Zhan yelled out, "Moss, ignore that guy! Help me trap Karas!"

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from Ling Zhan, and a golden light that reached several kilometers gathered around him. The light transformed into two golden sequence chains, like divine dragons stretching thousands of meters, piercing through the void.

"Origin law!" Demon King Karas roared angrily.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the golden chains approached Karas, they collided violently with the blue flames burning around him. The two forces, each representing the pinnacle of power, intertwined, shaking the void.

Unlike the demonic ice flames that burned all matter and energy, Ling Zhan's law carried spatial properties. In the blink of an eye, the chains had traversed through the void and encircled Karas, forming a massive sphere several kilometers in diameter. The outer layer of the sphere shimmered with a golden brightness, while its interior was filled with endless blue flames.

Origin law was the foundation of a king. This power was created from the fusion of one's soul and movement art with the origin of the world upon breaking through to the king level. This power could amplify a king's power of law several times, or even ten times.

However, each consumption of this origin delayed their progress and required significant time to recover. Furthermore, excessive consumption could damage one's foundation and inflict irreversible harm on the soul. As a result, this technique was typically a last resort, used only when a king was desperate.

When Chen Chu declared he could unleash another strike, however, Ling Zhan chose to believe him without hesitation. He consumed a substantial portion of his origin to unleash his ultimate law move, the Sky-Earth Seal, trapping Karas within a temporary space.

Though immensely powerful, this technique was a wide-area seal that could only contain a middle stage, mythical-level opponent, like Karas, for a few moments. This was an ultimate law move that specialized in supporting other attacks.

"Want me dead? Impossible!"

Clad in black armor, Demon King Karas stood several hundred meters tall, with three heads and six arms. With a flash of madness in his eyes, a terrifying power erupted.

Boom!

Amid an endless explosion of blue light, Karas's form suddenly expanded to a height of a thousand meters. His entire body sprouted sharp blue bone spikes, and his aura grew even more oppressive.

Desperately unleashing his full power, Karas consumed his origin to enter his awakened demon king form. Then, with his six-arm-formation seal, he concentrated a massive strike against the golden barrier in front of him.

Boom!

The entire space trembled, and the golden crystalline wall before Karas fractured, with cracks spreading outward like a web.

"Karas, you're not going anywhere today!" Moss Drago yelled out.

A practitioner of the North Lin true martial arts, he was entangled with another demon king in the distance. Noticing that Karas was about to escape, however, he let out a roar. Instantly, his figure swelled up, transforming into a black, ape-like colossal beast spanning a thousand meters.

Black light swirled around the berserk ape’s massive arms. Before Karas could escape, Moss raised his enormous arms and clenched his hands in a crushing motion toward Karas' direction.

Hum!

The void trembled, and the space around Karas solidified under an immense force, transforming into black and gold crystalline structures that reinforced the seal placed by Ling Zhan.

Pfft!

At that moment, a thousand-meter-long black demonic spear, resembling a venomous dragon, tore through his battle armor and scales, piercing his chest from behind.

Boom!

Moss turned and swung his thick and massive arm, tearing through vast stretches of space. Then, with a powerful force, he shattered the black demonic spear and unleashed an explosive power that forced the three-horned demon king, Wang Zhen, to retreat.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Wang Zhen retreated, Moss' form rapidly shrank, reverting to his law-based true form of just three hundred meters. Black smoke swirled chaotically around his resilient body, like venomous snakes writhing in madness, as his aura visibly weakened.

"Humans, I will kill you all!"

Karas, sealed once more, was consumed with rage and shock. The blue flames encircling him transformed into massive, sky-piercing chains, trembling and resonating in all directions as they gradually shattered the spatial seal.

Meanwhile, as Karas was being restrained, high above the storm clouds, the tip of the Thunder Fiery Demonic Dragon's dorsal fin, now glowing in dark red, slashed toward the distant summoning passage.

The sharp spike disappeared as it moved at speeds a hundred times faster than sound, leaving a long, dark scar in the air that wouldn't heal.

Boom!

A thunderous roar and shockwave erupted, splitting the clouds and scattering around the Single-Horned Kun circling within the mist.

At the same moment, as the spike pierced through the passage, the vortex above Chen Chu's head collapsed with a deafening crash. His face turned deathly pale, and his body, drained of strength, plummeted toward the ground.

As Chen Chu fell helplessly, a streak of red light shot through the sky at an unimaginable speed. It pierced through the heavens and crossed over a hundred kilometers, appearing before Karas and leaving a perfectly straight mark that stretched across the sky.

"No!" Overwhelmed by the aura of death flooding toward him, Karas' expression changed dramatically. He let out a furious roar, unwilling to give up.

Boom!

Karas unleashed all of the power from his origin of the law in desperation. His aura surged several times over as his entire form turned into pure blue energy that resembled a massive demon.

Endless blue flames merged under the power of laws, forming thirty-six layers of warped, transparent barriers before him, as he used his six-arm-formation seal in a defensive posture.

Bang!

The radiant red spike effortlessly pierced through the outer dark-golden crystalline surface. The thirty-six layers of transparent barriers were instantly shattered into law fragments, scattering like shards of glass.

At that moment, Karas felt as though the entire world had fallen silent and slowed to a crawl. He stared in disbelief as the thirty-meter-long spike pierced through his six arms, tore apart his demon king armor that was stronger than the scales of a mythical colossal beast, and punctured his chest.

As the spike penetrated the demon king's true form, a residual mental imprint left by the Demonic Dragon within the spike trembled, instantly triggering the eruption of three high-level powers of law contained within.

A deafening explosion echoed, shaking the entire area. In the sky, a sun with a diameter of several kilometers appeared, radiating golden light. Surrounding it were flashes of black chaotic lightning and a halo of chaotic energy, emanating an endless brilliance that illuminated the heavens and earth.

Then came an overwhelming blast, forming a black shockwave that continuously expanded. This was the phenomenon of space itself being instantaneously shattered by the explosive collision of three high-level laws.

Under the horrifying blast, even the human kings and the Purgatory Demon King nearby were swept up by the catastrophic force as they were sent flying dozens of kilometers away.

From a thousand kilometers away, Barus, the Demon King who had been suppressing Qingqiu Tianyao and the Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox in battle, turned to look toward the explosion.

From the direction of the blast came a furious roar.

"Your Majesty, Demon God... avenge me..."

With this fragmented cry, Karas' true form was annihilated. The three high-level laws crushed his origin of laws and demon soul into nothingness. Karas had fallen completely.

Suddenly, a Blood Moon appeared in the sky—a phenomenon caused by the dissipation of Karas' laws as they merged with the world. The moment it appeared, it began to descend. This scene was visible to everyone within a thousand-kilometer radius, leaving them momentarily dazed.

A demon king had fallen.

This was the first demon king to perish since the current war began, and it happened at unprecedented speed. How long had it been since a mythical-level being had fallen on the frontlines? Perhaps over ten day-cycles.

Suddenly, a commanding roar echoed across the heavens and earth. "Kaodes, now!"

Boom!

The moment Karas fell, Deorus, seeing Mech No.1 halt its advance, struck. In a flash, the oppressive might of a demon god erupted, but simultaneously, the Celestial King refused to be outdone.

Boom!

Under the collision of the two god-level principle powers, the entire world trembled. The sky above the frontline of the battlefield was torn apart, revealing the towering figures of two beings standing tens of thousands of kilometers tall.

As Deorus made his move, an equally terrifying demon god-level pressure erupted from the rear of the Purgatory Clan's forces. It was as if an apocalyptic demonic dragon had crossed the heavens, forcefully breaking into Deorus's domain.

However, because the target of this demon god was No.1, he immediately launched a ferocious attack, even though he was still far away.

A massive demon claw, large enough to blot out the sky, extended from the clouds, covering an area of dozens of kilometers. Beneath the claw, space collapsed, principles disintegrated, and the fabric of time and space quaked.

Under the claw’s might, tens of thousands of aliens were instantly reduced to blood mist. The tens of thousands of mechs advancing alongside No.1 were shattered and scattered across the ground.

Even the two demon kings entangled with No.1 were forced down. Their massive forms crashed into the earth and were pinned under an overwhelming, crushing force.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, particularly the humans. Even the kings familiar with Heavenly King Zhenwu were caught off guard. None of them had anticipated that the Purgatory Clan still possessed a demon god-level powerhouse.

On the other hand, the demon kings of the Purgatory Clan wore feral, twisted expressions. The arrival of another demon god-level powerhouse on the battlefield filled them with unshakable confidence, certain he would annihilate all opposition in his wake.

Just as the demon kings were reveling in their anticipated victory, an overwhelming force, rivaling that of a demon god, erupted from Abyssal City. In its wake, a massive stele engraved with the words "True Martial" descended from the sky, emanating a divine power so immense it bent space and time to its will.
