Chapter 858: The Beast of World Destruction (III)

A savage roar shook the heavens and earth. Above the dark-red colossal beast, the sky split open as a massive platinum claw descended from the void. Its power plunged the world into darkness, leaving only the blinding glow of the claw visible.

Boom!

The strike from the Platinum Tiger was incredibly powerful. The entire world trembled beneath that claw, crushing the void and suppressing the laws of heaven and earth.

The dark-red beast let out a thunderous roar. Blood-red lightning coiled around its right claw as it struck out, shattering the platinum tiger claw in a single devastating blow. At the same time, the dark-red beast stomped its foot and instantly transformed into a streak of red lightning. It tore through the heavens and earth, reappearing over ten thousand kilometers away.

There, the Platinum Tiger had already slipped halfway into a rift, trying to escape. Its earlier attack had merely been a diversion. Confronted by the Dragon Emperor in its Dark-Red Form and overwhelmed by its world-destroying aura, even this ancient colossal beast was seized by an instinctive urge to retreat.

Boom!

Before the Platinum Tiger could escape, the dark-red colossal beast caught it. The Tiger let out a wail of agony as golden-red light descended from the sky and crashed violently onto the ground.

The entire world trembled. Thousands of kilometers of land cracked and erupted as countless fragments of rock, earth, and lava blasted into the sky, and a searing shockwave swept across the surface.

The cataclysmic impact ignited countless trees, evaporated rivers, and sent ordinary mutated and colossal beasts into desperate cries. They had no time to react before being burned to char and blasted away. The scene resembled a comet striking the Blue Planet tens of millions of years ago, unleashing a shockwave that wiped out countless dinosaur species.

Roar!

The center of the explosion echoed again with the Platinum Tiger’s agonized screams. Its lower body was pinned under the dark-red beast’s massive claws, crushed and unable to move.

Each of its six tails, stretching over a thousand meters, had already been severed by the tail blade wrapped in blood-red destructive lightning. They were held tightly in midair, restrained by strands of crimson lightning.

The dark-red beast roared fiercely. Bright red light gathered in its mouth, emitting a destructive aura that filled the Tiger with terror.

No!

When the Tiger felt the intense aura of death, its principle origin erupted. In an instant, it released a dazzling platinum light, like a supernova.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Space was annihilated by the sharp and unmatched principale light, time came to a halt, and even the world's crystal barriers were pierced one by one. However, when it fell upon the dark-red beast, it only triggered a rumbling explosion of light, unable to shake the beast’s heavy red scales.

Even when the Platinum Tiger exploded with its principle origin, unleashing power dozens of times stronger, it still couldn’t move the red claws. It was as if what pressed down on it was not a titan colossal beast, but an immensely heavy celestial mass.

This drove the Platinum Tiger into even greater despair. Looking at the dark-red beast just inches away, it desperately gathered all of its remaining strength into its mouth, radiating platinum light.

Boom!

In that instant, the dark-red beast unleashed a breath of intense red light from its mouth, sweeping over the Platinum Tiger like a flood of destruction.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Engulfed in the purifying force of the dark-red beast’s breath, forged from the fusion of ten high-level laws, the powerless tiger screamed in desperation as its soul and will slowly faded away. Then, the terrifying breath transformed into a vast torrent of red light sweeping through the land, annihilating all matter, space, and laws under its destructive force.

Boom!

The breath pierced through a passage over a thousand kilometers deep, breaking through the micro-world's crystal barrier. The entire world shook even more violently, growing increasingly unstable.

At the same time, the Dragon Emperor’s summoned power of the Dark-Red World spread, becoming an invisible red glow that covered and contaminated the sky. With no other way to resist, and with the crystal barrier shattered, the micro-world’s foundation began to collapse, and it was soon completely swallowed by the red glow.

Crack! Crack!

The sky shattered like a mirror, cracking into rifts hundreds to thousands of kilometers wide, allowing even more red light to invade. Mountains collapsed as red light seeped through the cracked ground, enveloping the world in a devastating aura of destruction.

Roar!

Half an hour later, at the center of the collapsing world, the towering dark-red beast roared toward the sky, clutching the torn corpse of the giant tiger, which had already lost its life from the destructive breath.

After maximizing its enhancement, the Dragon Emperor’s Dark-Red Form had grown so powerful that its strength reached an indescribably terrifying level. When its full power exploded, even the ancient-titan-level colossal beast, equivalent to a demon god of the underworld, couldn’t resist and was crushed and slain in a short time.

Standing on the crumbling earth, surrounded by red lightning and swirling currents of destructive energy, the Dragon Emperor radiated an aura of terrifying power and ferocity. Its cold, piercing eyes were fixed on the sky above.

Behind the shattered sky in the red-tinged micro-world, a big blurry figure was greedily watching the Dragon Emperor and the dying world. The Dragon Emperor slowly opened its mouth, its low growl filled with killing intent.

What? You want to come and steal my prey?

Sensing the intent, the blurry colossal figure cast a long, deep glance at the dark-red beast. Then it slowly turned, its massive form fading away from the red-stained micro-world.

As the unknown powerful creature vanished, the Dragon Emperor’s gaze turned even colder. Red lightning surged outward from its body, tearing through the laws of heaven and earth and speeding up the collapse of the world around it. As the world continued to break apart, the destructive aura thickened in the air, wrapping around the Dragon Emperor’s Dark-Red Form and making it even more terrifying.

As the representative of the Dark-Red World, the Dragon Emperor could summon its World Force. Devouring and destroying worlds enhanced the power of the Dark-Red World. However, the Dragon Emperor had never used this move before. Both Chen Chu and the Dragon Emperor remained cautious and vigilant toward these special worlds, like the Supreme Hell and the Supreme Dark-Red World.

Although both sides had signed a contract, and Chen Chu had borrowed power from the two supreme planes multiple times, he remained cautious. Until his own strength was great enough, he avoided any situation that could spiral out of control.

Boom!

A dazzling light erupted in the void, like a planet exploding and releasing a brilliant red glow. The shockwave shook an area hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide. The Silver Colossal Dragon and other colossal beasts were hurled into the air by the blast. Even the Gold-and-Blue Colossal Dragon couldn’t help but roar this time.

Fortunately, because of the great distance, the three beasts were only slightly battered and not seriously injured, even after being thrown over two thousand kilometers and slammed into the melting, formerly frozen mountain range behind them.

At the chaotic explosion’s center, the towering dark-red colossal beast over five thousand meters tall slowly emerged, clutching the corpse of the ancient-titan-level beast. It stepped into the void, surrounded by a terrifying aura.

Meanwhile, when the Dragon Emperor killed the ancient titan colossal beast, the expedition fleet of the Heavenly Feathered Race was also somewhat stirred. Led by Heavenly King Zhenwu, the gathering included Chen Wang and the mythical cultivators of the Heavenly Feathered Race, along with all of the most outstanding geniuses.

Among them were Li Daoyi, An Fuqing, and Xia Zuo, who had been quietly training aboard Battleship 7, and had already broken through to the late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Realm without making an appearance. They all stood on the deck of Battleship 1, looking ahead.

Above them, layers of multicolored radiance spread across the sky, forming the celestial phenomenon of the Ninth Heavenly Realm. A five-hundred-meter-tall demon god sat cross-legged, clad in magnificent black and red armor, with three faces and eight arms. Behind him, long hair hundreds of meters long flowed in the air, and a golden divine wheel slowly rotated behind him.

With the Dragon Emperor’s awakening, the innate evolution of Chen Chu’s Eight-Armed Demon God true form also entered its late stage, and was only one step away from being fully reforged.

At that moment, Chen Chu crossed his strongest two arms in front of him. The other six arms each held one of six divine seals, bent slightly as if supporting the golden light wheel spinning behind him. He appeared both holy and noble.

Around him, dark purple thunderbolts spread out, forming a vast pool that covered hundreds of kilometers. Above the pool hovered a golden-white Great Sun ten kilometers wide, radiating a destructive aura that made even king-level cultivators tremble.

Behind the eight-armed demon god stood a golden gate marked with deep black scars, and nine black and red divine dragons circled around it. Beyond the gate, which was slightly ajar, loomed a massive figure. It was like a terrifying existence was sealed within, which was also the reason the fleet had stopped.

Looking at Chen Chu’s increasingly vast aura, Li Daoyi suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha... As expected of the number one prodigy of humanity! Even after breaking through to the mythical level, his progress is lightning fast. This aura feels like even the heavenly kings aren’t a match for him. I have a feeling that after this breakthrough, Brother Chu might even be able to go head-to-head with a demon god. He’s just too strong, almost invincible."

An Fuqing couldn’t help but cough dryly and say, "...Li Daoyi, we all know Chen Chu is very powerful. No need to flatter him so much."

Earlier, when Chen Chu had gifted Li Daoyi the Purple Lightning Body enhancement art, Li Daoyi was filled with gratitude and secretly vowed to cheer every time Chen Chu showed off. This time, instead of finding a quiet place to break through, Chen Chu did it out in the open, in front of the fleet, obviously just to show off. Naturally, Li Daoyi wasn’t going to miss the chance to cheer him on.

Usually, Li Daoyi was the one being praised, so he wasn’t very skilled at giving compliments. His awkward words even prompted An Fuqing to remind him. Many advanced cultivators nearby, including Xia Zuo, looked like they wanted to laugh but held it back.

While Xia Zuo and the others below were shocked, up above, Heavenly King Zhenwu, Chen Wang, and other kings were also somewhat astonished. At that moment, Chen Chu’s aura was so strong it resembled an ancient divine demon descending, powerful enough to affect the surrounding space-time.
