Chapter 759: The Demon God Arrives, the Awakening of the Dragon Emperor (II)

Roar!

The heavens suddenly shook as a ferocious roar thundered across the battlefield. The sheer might of the aura pierced the skies, leaving even the demon kings and great demon kings feeling a twinge of fear.

On the frontlines, a monstrous being stood over six hundred meters tall. Its dark golden body bristled with spikes, and its four-armed form radiated a terrifying, murderous aura.

Mech No.1 had completely shed all traces of its armored form, fully unleashing its strength. Its power had reached a horrifying level—every movement shattered space, every gesture pulverized the void.

Its speed was so extreme that even demon-king-level minds struggled to track it. With just a flicker, the void would explode, and a demon king's true form would be blasted apart.

Especially deadly were the azure-white beams shooting from its eyes. Wherever they passed, mountain peaks melted away, and even great demon kings were forced to retreat from the lethal momentum.

To contain No.1, the enemy had pulled together four late-stage demon kings and both a beginning- and middle-stage great demon king. All six had ignited their life essence into a burning burst of strength.

Without burning their origins, they simply couldn’t withstand this monster, which had devoured over two million soldiers and swallowed two demon kings.

It was thanks to No.1's full release of power, pinning down so many demon kings and great demon kings, that the human side barely managed to hold the skies, losing only a single king in recent days.

The current situation was locked in a stalemate, but time favored the enemy, who simply had more replacement demon kings.

Once exhausted, they could cycle their elites to the rear for recovery. Meanwhile, humanity’s kings had no such luxury—if their origins were depleted, they would have no replacements. Thus, it was imperative to break the balance.

At that moment, the rear logistics base at Passage Three sounded a sharp alarm amid red light.

"First sequence command issued—activate the Orbital Death Star. Target: Great Demon King Kuerdote. Adjusting coordinates..."

Far out beyond the Blue Planet floated a massive object over thirty kilometers in diameter. It was distinct from the Celestial Annihilation Satellite, resembling a small, black moon.

The black celestial body trembled lightly. Slowly, it began to unfold, revealing stretched battleship arms.

Deep inside, a peak-stage king, who had slumbered for years, slowly awakened. His ancient voice murmured, "Activating the Death Star... Has the extinction war finally begun?"

Relying on technological advances and transcendent materials from the mythical world, humanity had secretly forged many of the once-theorized celestial weapons. This was one of the reasons why many human kings and heavenly kings hadn’t appeared on the frontlines; they had other duties to fulfill, such as guarding these trump cards.

Yet such weapons could not be used lightly. The energy cost was staggering, and worse, once deployed, the enemy would be on guard, preventing the chance to strike again.

However, just as the Orbital Death Star began to slowly awaken, it abruptly halted, then retracted itself. It fell back into deathly stillness, floating alone in space.

Meanwhile, back on the battlefield, just as the Celestial King prepared to unleash these hidden weapons to break the stalemate, three bursts of demon god's power suddenly erupted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six oppressive principle powers fell from above, isolating heaven and earth and suppressing all of existence. In an instant, the human kings, heavenly kings, demon kings, and great demon kings below all halted their battles and retreated.

At the same time, the Blood Moon above the skies began to fade. At the edge of the horizon, the sky brightened as a golden-white radiance began to rise.

When the High Priest of Destiny borrowed the power of fate to peer at him, Chen Chu, who had just slain Erebor with a single strike, suddenly felt something.

He looked up, yet apart from the blood-colored night sky, where the demonic clouds had been scattered, he saw nothing.

Still, the Insightful Void-Slashing Eye at the center of Chen Chu's brow throbbed violently, and deep within, he sensed a strong, approaching danger. His expression grew slightly tense.

"As expected of a powerful civilization with a long history... such a quick reaction," Chen Chu murmured in admiration.

Back when Heavenly King Xuanwu and the others had returned, they had carefully analyzed the details of how they had been discovered and pursued. No matter how they concealed their aura or traces, they had been unable to evade their enemies.

Even after fleeing hundreds of thousands of kilometers beyond the territory of the Purgatory Clan, it was the same—as if the enemy possessed some method of locking onto them through causality or other principle powers.

In the end, Xuanwu had only managed to draw away Deorus by sending an alternate avatar into a forbidden zone in his place.

Thus, Chen Chu had long been prepared for this situation. What he hadn't expected was that it would come so soon—he hadn’t even fully swept through the empire yet, and had managed to slay only seven demon kings and one great demon king.

The frontlines were still millions of kilometers away, with another million kilometers vertically between them. There was still a little time. Deep in thought, Chen Chu silently vanished.

The blood-red light that filled the heavens and earth instantly dissipated, leaving only shattered ground and ruins, along with scattered remnants of law and aura left behind by the fallen demon kings.

Within the palace at the center of the southern demonic region, Chen Chu's figure also disappeared from the Demon God's Eye.

Staring at the fractured land below, and sensing the lingering power that had reached the level of a peak great demon king, Tarorya wore a grave expression as she slowly spoke.

"Immediately notify the cities of all major demon kings and great demon kings. Prepare the blood sacrifice summoning ritual. The moment that human appears, we must descend at once.

"Notify all nearby demon king cities around Scott, and send out every advanced demon, along with the vassal races' commanders. Conduct a carpet search. Find that human’s traces at all costs.

"And prepare the infernal projection. Contact Tuckus in the northern imperial city. Warn them that the human might attempt to infiltrate."

Because their empire had been jointly established by two demon gods, the Dark Demonic Morkaya Empire possessed two demonic regions and two imperial cities, divided into northern and southern systems.

This Tuckus shared a first name with the late-stage demon king that Chen Chu had slain earlier, though they bore different surnames. Still, his strength was terrifying, standing at the very top of the awakened peak great demon king level, much like Tarorya herself.

Facing a human freak like Chen Chu, Tarorya was confident she could suppress him. After all, that human's peak was only equivalent to her normal state. After just a few moves, the human would be exhausted, whereas she also commanded one of the empire’s supreme treasures.

With the demon gods away, she was the supreme being left to suppress the empire, ruling over vast territories and countless transcendent creatures.

Meanwhile, throughout the southern region of the Morkaya Empire, countless advanced demons and alien elites poured out, casting a vast net across heaven and earth to hunt him down.

Yet within a rift between space and the deeper void, Chen Chu sped toward the imperial city at astonishing speed. He intended to make a major move.

He wasn't the least bit concerned about the impending pursuit by the demon gods. With the Destructive Dragon Emperor in hand, what did a demon god matter? If he could win, he would fight. If not, he would have the Dragon Emperor hold them off while he drew upon hell power to enter the Supreme Hell.

From there, he could use the coordinates to return to the planar worlds, and then back to the Blue Planet.

"I didn’t expect humanity to be so strong. Just one human appearing, and the entire empire is shaken."

"No wonder they can wage war against two empires simultaneously... terrifying. Let's just hope we don’t run into that human. Otherwise, we're dead for sure."

Ten thousand meters high, two demons radiating the aura of the Eighth Demonic Mark swept rapidly across the skies, scanning the earth below as they chatted casually.

Far above them, tens of thousands of meters away, Chen Chu slipped through the void unseen, passing by them silently. Though he caught their words, he couldn’t understand them without a spiritual will resonance.
