Chapter 769: Counterattack against the Demon Gods, the Sealed Chen Chu (III)

Eeya! Eeya!?

Watching Chen Chu madly consume his life origin and sensing his growing weakness, the nearby Little Purple Dragon blinked its large eyes and opened its mouth slightly, because Chen Chu carried a familiar, brother-like aura, the Purple Dragon prepared to feed him.

However, at that moment, Chen Chu suddenly blinked at the Purple Dragon, moving his lips slightly. A voice whispered in its ear. "Xiao Yi, don’t release your creation energy just yet."

The Purple Dragon briefly froze, a look of confusion flashing in its eyes as it let out a cry.

How do you know the great Yiyi's name!?

Chen Chu only gave a weak smile without answering. If this little one accidentally spilled the secret someday, it could cause a lot of trouble. Yet soon after, his expression turned serious, hesitation flashing in his eyes.

He had inquired about the two demon gods of the Dark Demonic Morkaya Empire beforehand, and knew they were both middle-stage ancient-titan-level existences.

Originally, his plan had been to lure a single demon god from the empire back, then use the Destructive Dragon Emperor’s explosive might to heavily wound it.

Even if he couldn't injure it severely, he would at least withdraw safely, achieving his goal of relieving pressure on the frontlines.

However, he hadn't anticipated that they would actually send two demon gods back. Under such circumstances, even with the Dragon Emperor's full explosive power, he could only barely maintain parity.

Even burning his life origin, he couldn't find an opportunity to strike seriously at either opponent.

Just as Chen Chu exhaled deeply, preparing to give up, the flow of time throughout the world slowed, and a faintly visible transparent river of time manifested across heaven and earth.

Standing atop it was a colossal dragon, three thousand meters long. Its body was pure white, its crystalline scales gleaming like transparent gemstones. Time principle power radiated around it, allowing it to traverse freely between past and future.

It was a dragon that had already almost reached the ancient-titan level, and it was a rare special lifeform that commanded time.

Deorus, your opponent is the great Kurapavida!

A dragon's roar echoed across heaven and earth, as if arriving from the future. In the next instant, a surge of time power enveloped Deorus.

Boom!

Power that pierced through time erupted, and both Deorus and the white colossal beast vanished from this timeline.

The sudden shift startled Chen Chu. The Dragon Emperor immediately let out a ferocious roar, blood-red lightning surging as it charged at the black demonic dragon, who roared back in shock and anger.

Boom!

Crimson flames burst from the Dragon Emperor once again. Burning its origin, it seized the demonic dragon and slammed down from the heavens.

The earth crumbled. Hundreds of kilometers of land were smashed apart, countless stones and soil thrown skyward across a thousand kilometers. The shockwave alone slaughtered every living creature beneath the mythical level.

With Deorus and his halberd gone, the lone demonic dragon was no match for the Dragon Emperor—especially when the Dragon Emperor relied on its invincible defense to exchange injuries for injuries.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

On the broken earth, the two world-destroying colossal beasts battled madly, as the Dragon Emperor relentlessly tore away the demonic dragon’s armor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blood-red lightning, like dragons tens of thousands of meters long, coiled around the demonic dragon, eroding its principle-condensed true form without pause. However, it back fiercely, its armored claws tearing rifts through the Dragon Emperor’s crimson scales and snapping mountain-like dorsal spikes.

Roar!

Just as the Dragon Emperor pressed down on the demonic dragon, a furious roar echoed from behind—the titan-level, three-headed dark demonic dragon that had been spectating.

Seeing the black dragon’s plight, the three-headed dragon gathered powerful energy at its mouths, preparing to unleash a breath attack from afar to intervene.

Boom!

However, before it could act, a dark-red tail blade wrapped in Destructive Thunderbolts pierced the void, severing the three-headed dragon cleanly in two with a single slash.

That tail blade trembled lightly, as if a grandmaster of the blade was carving a profound arc through space. In a flash, it unleashed hundreds of slashes, tearing the three-headed dragon’s true form apart.

Blood-red lightning erupted from the tail blade, destroying space and obliterating everything, even grinding the three-headed dragon's soul and will into nothingness.

Witnessing such a brutal sight, Tarorya, who had been about to intervene, froze mid-step. ...

Forget it, this is a battle between demon-god-level beings. It has nothing to do with a mere great demon king like me.

Meanwhile, more and more white hairs appeared on Chen Chu’s head, and the time marks coiling around his left arm deepened.

Even so, he showed no intention of stopping. Standing quietly atop the crimson colossal beast’s head, his expression remained calm and cold, like a statue of a deity seated within a sacred temple.

Roar!

After slaying the titan-level three-headed dragon, the Dragon Emperor roared to the sky and once again lunged at the demonic dragon. An even more brutal battle erupted.

The heavens and earth shattered. Abyssal flames burned the sky and land, while destructive red lightning annihilated everything. The laws of the world grew increasingly chaotic and violent.

Boom!

Suddenly, space-time ruptured, and Deorus returned, wielding his halberd. Parts of his battle armor were fractured, clearly showing that his battle had been equally intense.

At that moment, however, a dragon’s roar echoed from the past. Powerful time energy enveloped Deorus once again.

"Courting death. You truly believe I can't kill you?" Roaring with rage, Deorus vanished once more.

At the same time, the Dragon Emperor let out a thunderous roar. Crimson flames surged from its body, burning fiercely as it soared thousands of meters into the sky.

Even the foundational fabric of the world began to collapse under the pure destructive origin flames. The Dragon Emperor’s aura surged tenfold.

"Are you insane? You're only here because of a contract!" the demonic dragon roared in shock and rage, its body now also igniting with black flames.

Yet, even as it burned its own origin, the demonic dragon still couldn’t stop the completely frenzied Dragon Emperor.

Boom!

A pitiful roar rang out. Half of the demonic dragon’s true form and its left claw were torn apart by the Dragon Emperor. Its internal principles shook violently, and a corner of its world collapsed.

However, in subduing the enemy, the Dragon Emperor also suffered greatly. While sustaining its frenzied explosion of power, Chen Chu’s life origin burned even faster, and cracks began appearing across his own true form.

"Human, you’re dead!"

Pinned beneath the Dragon Emperor, Kaodes roared savagely, burning endless abyssal demonic flames that relentlessly eroded the Dragon Emperor’s principle power.

At this point, with both sides burning their origin, it had become a direct clash of pure principle powers.

If I can just hold out a little longer, this human will burn himself to death. This human must die.

This colossal beast also needed to be hunted down later through the principles of causality, then annihilated with several demon gods joining forces.

A titan-level monster at only the beginning stage, yet already so heaven-defying, and an enemy of the Purgatory Clan to boot... If left to grow, it would become an unbearable threat in the future.

"Is that so? Then we’ll see who dies first today!" Chen Chu growled lowly, golden flames blazing around him as he unleashed endless energy to sustain the Dragon Emperor.

Even if only a few decades of his lifespan remained, it mattered little with his talent. As long as he could break through to the supreme level within a year or two, his lifespan would be restored.

Not to mention he still had the Purple Dragon, the living "bug in the system;” after the battle, a few mouthfuls of creation power from it could greatly restore his life origin.

While he could use his soul ability to annihilate the two demon gods, there was no need to. That card was reserved for breaking through to the level of ancient true spirits and civilization emperors—it had to be used at the moment of maximum effect.

As more and more white hairs appeared on Chen Chu’s head, and as the Dragon Emperor pinned down the demonic dragon, preparing to unleash a devastating beam through its skull—

Boom!

A terrifying aura exploded from the horizon—a third demon god-level existence had arrived. Chen Chu’s face shifted slightly.

Damn it, who’s crazier, you or me? You actually dispatched three demon gods just for a single mythical-level being?

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor’s claws erupted with power, slamming Kaodes deep into the ground. Then, its massive body shot toward the sky like a crimson streak.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared thousands of kilometers in the sky. Above Chen Chu’s head, a blood-red rift stretching tens of thousands of meters opened, drawing down the power of the Supreme Hell.

Before these demon-god-level beings, he didn’t dare to directly enter his planar world. Otherwise, before the rift closed, they could destroy the world with a single strike.

Thus, the safest path was to enter the Supreme Hell first, then use the coordinates there to return to the planar world, and from there, return to the Blue Planet.

As space-time distorted, the space-time summoning array beneath Chen Chu began collapsing, and the Dragon Emperor’s colossal form gradually faded from sight.

"Trying to leave? It’s too late."

From the horizon, the descending demon god unleashed four immense powers, emitting black light that illuminated the world, and radiating an aura even more dreadful than ordinary demon gods.

"Primordial Ancestor's Decree—sever your fate link with the human race!

"Primordial Ancestor's Decree—seal the supreme plane contract within you!

"Primordial Ancestor's Decree—seal your access to the planes!

"Primordial Ancestor's Decree—seal your Space-Time Summoning Art!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the chanting-like voice of the demon god rang out, four invisible supreme forces descended from the heavens, coalescing into a web of principle power that enveloped Chen Chu.

Exhausted and utterly weakened, Chen Chu had no strength to resist. The space-time mark on the back of his hand slowly faded.

In addition, the Hell's Eye between his brows was sealed, instantly severing his connection to the Supreme Hell. In the sky above, the blood mark trembled slightly before slowly vanishing.

The supreme plane’s power was unimaginably mighty, so the sealing power was directly targeting Chen Chu himself. Beyond that, the link between himself and the planar world was also forcibly cut off.

At the same time, there was a heavy, muffled tremor above his head—that seemed to be his fate with the human race being severed. Yet, strangely, he felt no difference at all.

It was as if the so-called "fate" being severed had no meaningful effect on him.

Even so, Chen Chu’s expression turned grim. He hadn't expected that the enemy could still unleash such powerful back-up measures after fighting to this extent.

However, if they thought this was enough to trap him, they were sorely mistaken. Would he really dare to venture into the Purgatory Clan's empire without being fully prepared?

Roar!

The Dragon Emperor, now returned to the chaotic sea of turbulence, roared. Space shimmered along its feathery horns, radiating powerful fluctuations.

Though the space-time mark on Chen Chu’s left hand had been sealed, his right arm was still inscribed with complex space inscriptions. With the Dragon Emperor’s current strength, it could tear open a temporary passage at any time as long as he had a coordinate.

If a demon god dared to pursue him across, the Dragon Emperor would teach them what true madness meant. Without the burden of Chen Chu’s life origin to sustain a summoning, its destruction form could persist for days—more than enough to grind even a demon god into dust.

However...

In the instant the four sealing forces descended, a black palm-sized token appeared in Chen Chu’s hand, and he crushed it without hesitation.

Bang!

As the token shattered, a powerful surge of principle power enveloped Chen Chu. The space-time around him turned ethereal and misty, and in the next moment, he vanished.

"He really did have a forbidden teleportation artifact!" Kaodes and the demon god descending from the horizon both turned grim.

Those four seals—bestowed by the Purgatory Clan's Primordial Ancestor and empowered by a demon god’s causality—were originally meant to target Chen Chu’s space-time summoning power, his self-created planar world, his human fate, and the forbidden artifacts given to him by humanity’s supreme beings.

However, the demon god wielding causality also knew a little about the nature of the Supreme Hell. Once it discovered Chen Chu was an envoy, it had immediately chosen to seal the contract.

Even so, they had failed to guard against his last forbidden artifact.

"Human, you’re not escaping!"

Boom!

Above the sky, space-time shattered, and Deorus reappeared, radiating monstrous demonic force as he wielded his Apocalyptic Halberd. Time forces flowed over the halberd, crossing through the past and arriving from the future.

It descended from the chaotic streams of space-time to strike at Chen Chu, who was still enveloped by protective principle power. His face turned grim.

Boom!

The strike instantly shattered the principle power. The overwhelming force followed through, crushing Chen Chu’s true form and sending him plunging deep into the chaotic space-time currents.

"He still escaped," Deorus muttered coldly, a dark expression clouding his face as he retrieved his massive halberd, tens of thousands of meters long.

Boom!

The demonic dragon crawled up from the depths of the ground, its deep, rumbling voice echoing across the ruined heavens and earth. "Though we failed to kill that human, we still achieved our goal.

"After this battle, his life origin has been exhausted, his fate severed, and his supreme law, summoning secret art, and supreme contract all sealed. He is no longer a threat.

"Only... my principle origin has been damaged. I will need to enter seclusion to recover. After that, we will initiate the extinction war to annihilate humanity."

Despite those words, the three demon gods couldn’t conceal the heaviness in their expressions.

This battle had essentially seen three demon gods joining forces, armed with four decrees from the Primordial Ancestor, and yet they had still failed to capture a single middle-stage mythical-level human.

That human freak’s trump cards seemed no less terrifying than theirs.

Meanwhile, above the chaotic turbulent sea, the Dragon Emperor, still in its dark-red destruction form, stood tall. However, it had not yet torn open a spatial passage.

Deep within the twisted space-time currents, Chen Chu floated weakly. He was completely spent. His black hair was streaked with white, and his true body was covered in countless cracks, resembling a shattered porcelain figure.

Yet even in such weakness, his divine ability, the Absolute Barrier, still formed a protective layer around him, shielding him from the surrounding destructive space-time forces.

The sheer brutality of this battle had surpassed even his expectations. No matter how meticulous his preparations had been beforehand, unforeseen changes had outstripped his plans.

Still, in the end, he had escaped. Only... these seals were going to be troublesome.

Sensing the three sealing powers within his body, Chen Chu frowned slightly.

Hum!

Just then, space-time around him shifted again—everything fell into stillness under an invisible force. From the depths of the chaotic currents, a silver butterfly slowly emerged.

So you couldn’t resist showing up after all.

Chen Chu smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.
