Chapter 642: The Divine Transformation that Shook the World (III)

Boom!

An explosion of endless white divine light engulfed the battlefield, shattering the massive war puppets one by one—each collapse resembling the fall of a mighty mountain.

Next, a floating "landmass" over a hundred kilometers wide and dozens of kilometers thick, crumbled apart in the void, detonating like a dying planet, unleashing endless white light and blazing magma.

From the catastrophic explosion, Chen Chu emerged, stepping through the void, his halberd radiating a terrifying aura. Then, in a flash, he crossed hundreds of kilometers, appearing directly before Xiao Tianyi.

At that moment, beneath the gaze of his massive golden eyes, Xiao Tianyi raised a hand toward the heavens. His piercing stare locked onto Chen Chu as his icy voice echoed through the void.

"By my decree—True Heavenly Kingdom,

descend

!"

Boom!

The entire world quaked once more as nearly half of the void—once spanning the size of dozens of Blue Planets—collapsed in an instant.

At that moment, high above Chen Chu and Xiao Tianyi, a vast, boundless white city took shape. Its architecture was grand and intricate, echoing the majesty of heaven.

Boom!

The void trembled as the endless phantom of the Heavenly Kingdom descended, engulfing both Chen Chu and Xiao Tianyi. In an instant, Chen Chu’s surroundings shifted—he now stood upon a vast square, its surface paved entirely with white jade.

From all directions around him, towering projections appeared, ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters tall. Each of the projections were adorned with special wings of light, radiating an overwhelming and oppressive aura.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyi stood at the edge of the heavens like a god of creation, extending his hand ever so slightly toward Chen Chu. His voice was cold and absolute.

"By my decree—Heavenly Judgment, descend.

Kill

!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, endless golden sword light slashed toward Chen Chu from all directions. At the same time, thousands of colossal golden swords, each spanning thousands of meters, plummeted from above like meteors.

Just as Chen Chu was about to be swallowed by countless attacks, a low growl, tinged with a dragon’s roar, resounded through the heavens,"This is just a gaudy mess!"

Boom!

Amid the vast golden ocean, a blinding white light tore through the sky, obliterating everything in its path. Before the devastating halberd light, even the Heavenly Kingdom was torn apart—along with Xiao Tianyi’s true form.

The instant the three-thousand-meter white halberd light pierced through Xiao Tianyi’s body, a torrent of blinding white energy erupted.

Boom!

Under the blinding brilliance of the ultimate law move—Solar Core Explosion, the Heavenly Kingdom was obliterated. The void collapsed, forming a destruction zone spanning hundreds of kilometers.

Through the raging explosions, Chen Chu, wielding his halberd, flashed across the void in pursuit. Far ahead, Xiao Tianyi, burning his World Force and law origin, reformed his true form once more.

However, having his true form shattered twice in a row had weakened Xiao Tianyi's aura by twenty percent. At the same time, the collapse of the ruins was accelerating.

As Xiao Tianyi repeatedly pushed the World Force to its absolute limits in battle, the entire world spiraled into destruction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In his Battle God Demon Dragon Emperor form, Chen Chu’s combat power had ascended to an indescribable level. Like a blazing white streak of light, he shattered the spatial barriers condensed by the World Force one after another.

Amid the radiant brilliance of countless crystal shards, his halberd tore through the void, transcending time and annihilating Xiao Tianyi’s true form once more.

The sheer force of this strike collapsed the space within dozens of kilometers, causing the void to erupt violently.

"I will never lose to you! Time, freeze!" Over a thousand kilometers away, Xiao Tianyi let out a furious roar, recklessly burning the origin of his law, forcibly channeling the World Force to manipulate time itself.

In an instant, golden light rippled across the entire world, and everything within its reach fell into absolute stillness. Burning flames, raging energy storms, floating meteors, and even the transcendent energy flowing through the heavens and earth—all were frozen in place.

Yet, within this world where even time was halted, Chen Chu, his body ablaze with white flames, slowly lifted his gaze. His dark golden eyes gleamed with an icy chill, and his lips parted slightly.

With time stopped, no sound could be heard, yet Xiao Tianyi could still clearly see the words Chen Chu had spoken.

"Time... is meaningless to me."

With the Heaven-Stepping Divine Movement perfected to its absolute peak, Chen Chu took a single step—instantly materializing before Xiao Tianyi. His halberd, carrying the might to cleave the heavens and earth apart, came crashing down.

Boom!

The recondensed golden battle spear in Xiao Tianyi’s hands, along with his true form, was shattered once more. The devastating impact even ripped open a hundred-kilometer-long black rift in the void.

As Xiao Tianyi was blasted apart, the freeze on time instantly vanished. In the distance, aliens kneeling atop a kilometer-wide meteoroid, gazed upon the scene with a face filled with absolute despair.

Bang!

The shattered rock, along with the Ninth Heavenly Realm aliens, exploded instantly—obliterated along with the surrounding void, vanishing without a trace.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before the unstoppable Chen Chu, even Xiao Tianyi, who once seemed akin to the Heavenly Dao, was completely overpowered. Again and again, his true form was annihilated, forcing him to continuously burn his origin and World Force just to recondense his body.

The power to annihilate all, a defense that ignored all attacks, and divine abilities that transcended time and space.

With no way to fight back, Xiao Tianyi could only flee in desperation, stalling for time. He hoped that Chen Chu's power would eventually be exhausted or that he would succumb to the backlash of the summoning.

Everywhere they passed was left in destruction, all matter was obliterated, and a region of chaotic destruction was left in their wake.

By deliberately avoiding the direction of the human race, the devastation fell on the alien race. Some, too slow to escape or unaware of the battle, were instantly erased by the cataclysmic shockwaves of their world-shattering clash.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Xiao Tianyi repeatedly pushed himself to the limit, frantically channeling World Force, the destruction of the entire ruins' inner world intensified. The edges of the void continued to crumble.

Annihilation surged toward the central region like an unstoppable tide. In no time, half of the inner world was devoured by the void. Wherever the darkness passed, countless floating meteoroids shattered and vanished into nothingness.

The entire world trembled violently. Faced with this near-apocalyptic battle, even top-tier geniuses like Hong Zhen were powerless. They could only watch in shock, feeling the cataclysmic waves of destruction erupting in the distance.

Just as Xiao Tianyi's true form was destroyed for the eleventh time and the world within the ruins collapsed by two-thirds, the azure glow enveloping him vanished in an instant. At once, his aura plummeted, dropping from the heavenly king level to the peak of the mythical level, then to the late stage, and finally to the middle stage.

Xiao Tianyi's expression twisted in shock at the abrupt change. Yet before he could even process it, Chen Chu had already traversed a thousand kilometers in a flash, stepping through the river of time to materialize right before him.

"Wait—"

Boom!

Without hesitation, Chen Chu struck down with his halberd. In an instant, Xiao Tianyi's law-condensed true form was obliterated, swallowed by an endless eruption of divine white light.

"How could I possibly die here...?" Under the annihilation of the white divine light, the golden radiance that filled the sky gradually dissolved, and amidst it, Xiao Tianyi's unwilling, anguished screams echoed faintly.

He was supposed to be the chosen one of Blue Planet, blessed by the fate of time and destiny. He had yet to save the world, yet to break his shackles and ascend as a primordial star hanging in the heavens.

How could he... fall?

Amid the chaotic currents of destruction, where even space itself had shattered, the thousand-meter-tall Chen Chu stood with his halberd in hand. His body burned with white flames, radiating a terrifying aura that shook the world.

With a flicker in his eyes, he scanned across heaven and earth, ensuring not even the faintest trace of Xiao Tianyi’s soul could escape under the might of his divine transformation.

Once he was certain that Xiao Tianyi’s aura had completely vanished, Chen Chu finally exhaled softly and willed the summoning to disperse.

Instantly, the faint deep-blue runes, previously concealed beneath the white flames, unraveled and dissolved into shimmering streams of light, flowing toward the back of his left hand.

As the summoning ended, the Dragon Emperor, which had fused with Chen Chu as a projection, also withdrew from the divine transformation state.

At that moment, the white flames around Chen Chu extinguished, and he began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his normal human size.

Bang!

With a thunderous crash, Chen Chu fell to the ground, sending shockwaves rippling through the chaotic energy currents. His aura was feeble, his face ashen—like a dying ember, flickering on the brink of extinction.

This divine transformation experiment had almost completely exhausted his soul power.

Meanwhile, on his left arm, a transparent mark representing time erosion had spread almost completely across it, emanating an aura that was profound, obscure, and ominous.
