Chapter 743: Nine High-Level Laws, Dark Red Destruction (III)

Sensing the hazardous energy fluctuations still erupting from deep within the mist, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle and other colossal beasts floating on the sea couldn’t help showing concern in their eyes.

It was the first time they had seen the Destructive Dragon Emperor fight for so long. All of its previous opponents had been obliterated within just a few moves.

However, while the Nine-Headed Serpent and the others were worried, the Silver Colossal Dragon spiraled above the sky and let out confident, resounding roars.

Ao Tian is invincible—it will definitely win!

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon also soared elegantly in circles, growling in affirmation.

Indeed. Thunder Fiery will surely win, as long as it doesn’t get swallowed whole.

Another day passed. Suddenly, the massive energy fluctuations in the depths of the mist disappeared, and the entire world trembled slightly.

Boom!

Deep within the mist that covered over ten thousand kilometers, the ancient stone lion’s body—now expanded to hundreds of kilometers and nearly fully petrified—crumbled to pieces.

Endless principle power unraveled and scattered. The heavens quaked, and amid the earth’s rumbling, a gray mountain range stretching thousands of kilometers rose into view.

Roar!

Atop the tallest peak of that gray mountain range, which stood tens of thousands of meters high, the dark red colossal beast, three thousand meters tall, stood proudly, howling toward the heavens. Its body radiated a savage aura.

To slay an ancient creature that was realms above it right after reaching the titan level—this feat made even the Dragon Emperor feel a touch of pride.

However, while it still roared with brutal intensity, its energy was critically depleted. The red glow on its body had faded, leaving only faint flickers of black lightning crackling across its form.

Its vitality had been drained to the brink. The once-ferocious and mighty form now looked gaunt, its massive frame having visibly shrunk and hollowed.

This battle had been, without a doubt, the most grueling fight the Dragon Emperor had ever faced since its evolution. This ancient creature’s defenses had simply been too thick; it had nearly exhausted the Dragon Emperor to death.

Just as it paused to catch its breath, an endless red light spread through the world. Time and space twisted as the Dark-Red World descended once again, enshrouding the land.

From its depths, a terrifying existence tens of thousands of meters tall reappeared. It stood upon the earth like a celestial body, its form stretching across countless kilometers, and an invisible, oppressive pressure swept across the heavens.

However, the Dragon Emperor remained perfectly unaffected. As a heavenly-tier lifeform, its rank stood equal to the heavens—eternal and indestructible. It stood silently, gazing at the vast, boundless phantom before it.

The two faced each other across the distance. Then, a deep red scale several hundred meters long pierced through the infinite space-time continuum and appeared before the Dragon Emperor.

An accompanying stream of information detailed exactly what it meant for the Dragon Emperor to become a Dark-Red Destroyer—what it would have to give, and what it would gain.

Compared to Alvaron, the Lord of Hell, who patiently explained everything to Chen Chu, this Dark-Red Lord named Felix was far more direct and to the point. There were also key differences between a Dark-Red Destroyer and a Hell Apostle.

When a Dark-Red Destroyer signed its contract, it could summon the power of the Dark-Red World. Its Gigantification ability would evolve into a law, the Dark-Red Power, which could bring destruction to billions of worlds.

How powerful that evolved law became depended on the Dragon Emperor’s unique Gigantification ability, its own strength, and how compatible it was with the Dark-Red World.

Even the weakest among them could evolve into a middle-level law, and with the Dragon Emperor having enhanced its Gigantification ability to the level of divine transformation, it would at the very least evolve into a high-level law.

Moreover, the Dark-Red Power didn’t require comprehension. All the Dragon Emperor had to do was continue fighting and absorb destructive energy through one battle after another, and the law would grow stronger naturally.

The fastest way to improve it was by destroying worlds. The immense power of destruction born from such annihilation could even evolve the Dark-Red Power into a supreme destruction law.

If one day the Dragon Emperor grew powerful enough to break through to the ancient titan level, it could descend deeper into the Dark-Red World, destroy one world after another, and ultimately become a lord of destruction within it.

As long as it fought and destroyed, its Dark-Red Power would continue to grow. Compared to Chen Chu, the main body and a Hell Apostle, this path seemed even more convenient, and even stronger.

However, aside from that, there were no other benefits. It didn’t offer any coordinates for traveling freely between countless worlds and timelines. It was unclear whether this was due to differences in the principles between the Supreme Hell and the Dark-Red World, or simply a matter of differing contract terms.

However, the Dragon Emperor only had one goal right now: to evolve its Gigantification ability into a law, and re-enter its multi-fold gigantified state—its ultimate destruction form, which fused all its power of laws. Whether it gained coordinate access or not didn’t matter. Thus, it didn’t hesitate.

Boom!

Its enormous crimson right claw pressed onto the scale, which immediately began to tremble and glow with dazzling light. From within the scale, a wave of principle power spread outward, emitting a powerful suction force.

At the same time, both Chen Chu back on the Blue Planet and the Dragon Emperor saw a transparent line of text appear before them.

[Detected supreme principle power attempting to absorb soul essence. You may choose to spend 60,000 attribute points to simulate the soul essence as a substitute. Proceed with simulation?]

Both Chen Chu and the Dragon Emperor’s mouths curled into faint smiles—one elegant as jade, the other ferocious and terrifying.

Since their soul essence was one and the same, the contract scale’s absorption naturally drew upon Chen Chu’s soul power.

“Spend 60,000 attribute points to simulate origin soul essence.”

Boom!

In an instant, the attribute interface displayed 51,987 points remaining. At the same time, a powerful soul fluctuation burst from Chen Chu’s body, transforming into a pure and potent strand of origin soul essence. It passed through the soul passage and emerged within the Dragon Emperor.

Hum!

As the Dragon Emperor fed the strand of soul essence into the scale, an overwhelming principle power exploded outward. The scale shattered, transforming into a massive, intricate red contract rune that immediately stamped onto the Dragon Emperor’s brow.

A patch of scales on its brow turned dark red, connecting it to the higher dimension of the supreme planes. It linked directly to the principles of that realm, and a uniquely hued origin power of the world descended through the red scales.

Boom!

Endless crimson light crossed time and space to descend. The Dragon Emperor’s aura surged violently as the power of its Gigantification ability transformed into glowing red rune sequence chains. They spread densely across its muscles, bones, and cells, initiating its evolution into a law.

Crack! Crack!

The Dragon Emperor’s previously gaunt frame swelled rapidly. Its scale armor stretched and gleamed once more with radiant crimson light. Soon, a monstrous, ferocious beast over five thousand meters long emerged, exuding an overwhelming aura of destruction.

As the Gigantification ability began its evolution, and the final talent advanced into a high-level law, the Dragon Emperor’s body became even more powerful. The entire Misty Region, spanning ten thousand kilometers, shuddered and trembled as heaven and earth quaked.

Under the combined pressure of what was now equivalent to three supreme laws, the Silver Dragon, Golden-Blue Dragon, and other beasts trembled uncontrollably. Their bodies went limp and collapsed into the sea one after another.

At the same time, as the Dragon Emperor’s strength reached a new peak, the Sky Battlefield became increasingly brutal. Mech No. 1 roared in bloodthirsty fury as it was besieged by three late-stage demon kings. In the distant sky, a bright moon slowly emerged, and then began to fall.

A human king had fallen.
