Chapter 602: The End of the Great Battle, Tearing the Continental Plates Apart (I)

The upheaval in the sky stunned everyone.

As the apocalyptic sun plummeted at an indescribable speed, growing larger and larger in everyone's perspective, the expressions of millions of alien warriors and human soldiers alike filled with despair.

The sheer scale of the impending catastrophe meant that those below the level of king had almost no chance of surviving.

Even the kings and demon kings engaged in ferocious combat paused in shock. The four demon gods clashing in the heavens temporarily stopped as well.

Through calculations based on the falling star's speed and trajectory, the Celestial King deduced that the impact site was still some distance away.

However, much like a comet striking the Blue Planet, such a devastating collision would undoubtedly trigger destructive shockwaves, forcing everyone to retreat and prepare for the worst.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four demon gods clashed once again in the firmament, but this time, their primary focus shifted. Both sides unleashed their powers to cover the battlefield in preparation to evacuate their soldiers.

However, stopping the fight now wasn’t something that could be achieved easily.

The female king wielding a strange longsword transformed her sword into an icy peak, pinning a demon king firmly to the ground. She then radiated explosive power, her laws intertwining as they eroded the true form of the demon king beneath her blade.

On Battlefield Three, Ling Zhan and his companion, who had already destroyed the true form of the Three-Horned Demon King three times, burned 10% of their life force once more. They aimed to eliminate the demon king before the apocalyptic sun descended.

Decades of brutal warfare had forged an enmity as deep as the sea between the human race and the Purgatory Clan.

The earlier battles between the kings and demon kings, though fierce, never reached this level of intensity. Now, with the opportunity to vanquish a demon king, no one was willing to back down.

Simultaneously, Heavenly King Balong and Great Demon King Jimtore remained locked in a fierce clash.

Jimtore, a new great demon king, had followed Demon God Kaodes to the front lines to achieve glory—like slaying a few human kings.

Yet, it had not expected to be suppressed twice in a row by Heavenly King Balong. The humiliation was hard for Jimtore to accept, given its reputation as an invincible demon within its tier and a ruler capable of dominating a region.

As the apocalyptic sun drew closer, Jimtore’s icy gaze darkened. It roared, "Time to meet your end, Human!"

Boom!

𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Jimtore’s aura surged wildly as it swelled and transformed into a grotesque black monstrosity over 3,000 meters tall. Its back bristled with over a dozen colossal tentacles, exuding an air of malevolence and revulsion.

Black demonic qi condensed into a viscous, swamp-like miasma around it, radiating waves of corrosive power that distorted the surrounding space and transcendent energy.

The contamination of the demonic qi darkened hundreds of kilometers of the sky, making it seem as though a swampy hell had been summoned to engulf Heavenly King Balong.

From the churning, putrid mire, enormous phantom tentacles emerged and ensnared the golden divine dragon, blocking any chance of escape.

"Be careful, Balong! Don’t let that thing trap you!" Gabriel shouted from a distance. "It’s not a pure Purgatory True Demon. Its main body is an ethereal lifeform. Even if that projection is destroyed, it’ll only suffer severe injuries!"

Heavenly King Balong responded with an earth-shaking dragon roar. The golden divine dragon then unleashed a golden divine radiance, shattering the void and crushing the encroaching tentacles.

However, the tentacles existed between reality and illusion. Empowered by Jimtore’s burning origin, they regenerated endlessly, sealing off space and ceaselessly attempting to confine the golden dragon.

High above, Jimtore’s aura grew increasingly more intense. Moreover, its eyes filled with gelid madness. It planned to sacrifice its ethereal projection to bury the heavenly king alongside it.

The credit for killing a heavenly king would grant Jimtore enough divine and law-level items to fully transform into a Purgatory True Demon.

Another earth-shattering draconic roar echoed as Heavenly King Balong unleashed an even brighter radiance.

"Annihilation of Ten Thousand Dragons!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavenly King Balong exploded into hundreds of kilometer-long golden light dragons. They tore through the void, destroying the tentacles and ripping apart the swampy hell.

Boom!

As the heavens and earth trembled, black rifts spread across thousands of kilometers in the sky. Within the chaos, Jimtore’s furious roar and Heavenly King Balong’s battle cry echoed.

A mass of entangled golden and black light plummeted to the ground at supersonic speed, crashing a hundred kilometers away from the dark-red colossal beast.

The impact broke the earth, the resulting shockwaves and dense clouds of dust darkening the battlefield.

The dark-red colossal beast, having just crushed a late-stage mythical-level demon king, shifted its icy gaze toward the battlefield where Heavenly King Balong was fighting.

With a fierce roar, the beast vanished, reappearing near the raging battle between Balong and Jimtore.

"Your Majesty, let me take one last bite!" Chen Chu shouted.

Compared to the cunning Barus, the odds of defeating this great demon king were much higher.

A dark-red twisted world phenomenon reappeared behind the colossal beast. From within it emerged a massive, boundless dark-red dragon head, eclipsing the heavens and exuding an indescribable terror.

It devoured every space it passed through, making all creation crumble.

The golden colossal dragon responded with a high-pitched draconic roar. It then unleashed its internal origin power and transformed it into golden dragon claws tens of thousands of meters long.

The attack broke everything in its path and obliterated the void. It shot toward the devouring dragon head, dragging Jimtore along with it.

"Human!" Jimtore roared in fury. The tentacles behind it stretched wildly, piercing into the void. It phased through in an attempt to escape into the interdimensional layers to avoid the strike.

Boom!

The dark-red dragon head bit down on the void, engulfing an area over ten thousand meters wide in darkness and tearing away half of Jimtore’s body.

At the same moment, the colossal beast devoured half of Jimtore's true form. The space-time summoning mark under the beast faded, and a distorted space-time power descended.

The dark-red colossal beast vanished, concluding its summoning.

Meanwhile, having consumed his last Heavenly Reincarnation Elixir, Chen Chu plummeted from the sky. He was utterly drained, and his aura was critically weak.

"M-My law's origin is broken!" Jimtore’s furious and panicked roar echoed from the shattered void.

Its aura plummeted rapidly as it fled toward the rear battlefield. It turned into a streak of light hundreds of kilometers away.

The battlefield grew eerily silent. None of the kings or demon kings present could have anticipated that, on the verge of the battle’s conclusion, a great demon king would be gravely injured and nearly fall.

***

Within the Ice Crystal Shrine's mountain range, accompanied by spatial distortions, the dark-red colossal beast reappeared, emanating a terrifying aura that could rival a titan’s might.

Boom!

The overwhelming pressure caused the surrounding atmosphere to explode. The mountain peaks beneath its feet crumbled, and the nearby creatures—including the Single-Horned Kun, Little Purple Dragon, and Zhulong—were blasted away by the shockwaves.

In the distance, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, who had just closed its eyes for another nap, turned abruptly. Astonishment filled its gaze. "How is this possible? That little one’s aura..."

Having lost its soul resonance with its main body, the Demonic Dragon's chaotic lightning dissipated. Its form rapidly shrank back to its usual size of just over 700 meters.

A wave of exhaustion coursed through it.

The Demonic Dragon’s summoning duration had been brief this time, so the energy expenditure from its Gigantification and the final bite that shattered Jimtore’s true form was relatively modest.

Its last attack was Dark-Red Devourer, the ultimate ability it had gained upon reaching the titan level. It allowed the dragon to draw on the destructive forces of the dark-red world to consume everything.

Unfortunately, Jimtore’s phasing ability had saved it. Otherwise, the bite would have dragged Jimtore into the dark-red world and obliterated it. Those who had reached the level of great demon king would normally have many life-saving measures, making them extremely difficult to kill.
