Chapter 907: The Dragon's Breath (I)

As the summoning rune on the back of Chen Chu’s hand began to glow, one of the three divine kings from the retreating Heavenly Feathered Race let out a long, echoing roar. Behind him, five pairs of golden wings spread wide. "We can’t let it break through! If it does, the divine lord won’t be able to complete the Eternal Seal!"

Boom!

A surge of late stage ancient aura erupted from the divine king. At the same time, a pair of massive golden wings, forged from metal and resembling two blades spanning a hundred thousand meters, unfolded at his sides.

Those wings were the racial weapon inherited from the Divine Phoenix Lineage. Golden rune chains swirled across them, radiating powerful ripples of principle. When a leader of a race wielded a racial weapon that perfectly matched their bloodline, its power exceeded that of racial weapons taken by demon gods by more than ten times.

In the hands of that divine king, the golden twin blades merged into one and transformed into a golden, spiraling beam that shot forth, radiating an incredibly sharp and deadly aura. The power it unleashed was so immense that space warped around the tip of the beam, forming a reverse vortex spanning ten thousand meters across.

Meanwhile, the crystal wall of the Eternal Divine Region had already been torn open by the power within the dark demonic saber. The rift had expanded to over twenty thousand meters, and a ferocious roar echoed through space. "Get lost!"

Boom!

With a tyrannical slash, the golden spiraling beam was instantly shattered. Two beams of golden light were sent flying backward, reverting to a pair of wings. However, their glow had faded. A deep gash ran through each wing, nearly cutting them in half.

With that divine king's attack blocked, the other two divine kings, along with Heavenly King Zhenwu, had already built up power themselves, ready to strike. Zhenwu, in particular, held a black stele in his hand. The characters for "True Martial" were inscribed on its surface, embodying the human race’s core legacy and radiating a terrifying energy.

Everyone understood one thing clearly: They had to stop that demon god.

At the same time, Tyretis had already reached the edge of the rift. Three principle sequence chains circled around his massive true form, radiating a demonic force so overwhelming it shook the heavens and the earth.

Even separated by an entire world and thousands of kilometers, the pressure still left countless elite members of the Heavenly Feathered Race and human cultivators struggling to breathe, their legs trembling and faces pale.

Just then, Chen Chu’s voice rang out. "Sirs, allow me to stop him."

When the divine king made his move, a dark blue altar spanning ten kilometers had already unfolded beneath Chen Chu's feet, while a massive, twisted vortex appeared above his head.

As Chen Chu's strength continued to rise, the power of the Space-Time Altar, a fully enhanced ability rune, grew significantly stronger. Even the mere release of invisible waves caused space and time around him to twist and intertwine, forming a separate temporal anomaly.

Within this distorted anomaly lay a dark-golden mountain range stretching thousands of kilometers. An immense power radiated from the mountains, erasing all things in its path and forming a dark void over ten thousand kilometers wide.

From a distance, it looked like a colossal beast thousands of kilometers long coiled in place, exuding an overwhelming and terrifying presence. What stood out most, however, was that this beast had slightly raised its head. In its gaping maw, black and red light flickered ominously.

At that moment, the Dragon Emperor was still in deep slumber as it attempted to break through to the ancient level. Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Chu wouldn’t forcefully awaken it. Doing so would disrupt its evolution into an ancient creature and, even worse, interfere with the principle forming within its body, which was built around the ten high-level laws.

Just using it for a single breath attack, however? That wouldn’t be a problem.

Boom!

A black and red pillar of light, thousands of meters thick, erupted from the mouth of the dark-golden beast. The destructive force it unleashed shook the heavens and the earth, even shattering foundational principles.

Such terrifying might instantly awakened the three colossal beasts stationed over ten thousand kilometers away: the Silver Colossal Dragon, the Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon, and the Single-Horned Kunpeng, who had all been slumbering while guarding the surrounding area.

As the beasts opened their eyes in shock and confusion, the fearsome breath attack pierced through heaven and earth, vanishing in an instant into the twisted, deep-blue vortex of space-time.

At the same time, above the altar where Chen Chu stood, the Space-Time Summoning passage trembled violently. Suddenly, a black and red light beam shot out, encircled by rings of black, red, blue, and golden energy. Contained within that beam was a force of absolute destruction so intense that even the divine kings themselves felt a chill run down their spines.

All of this happened in a flash. The Dragon Emperor’s breath had pierced through space and time like a tidal wave, surging straight into the rift in the crystal wall.

Boom!

Seeing this, Tyretis erupted with an even more terrifying aura. "None shall stand in my way!"

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Wielding his demonic saber, he slashed forward to meet the breath attack that had already expanded to fill the entire rift in the crystal wall.

Boom!

In that instant, it felt as if the whole world was shaking. A blinding explosion of black-and-red light erupted across heaven and earth, and everyone went deaf, unable to hear even the faintest sound. At the same time, the blinding light turned their vision completely white, leaving them unable to see or feel anything.

No one knew how much time had passed before they finally felt the battleships beneath them begin to shake violently. Up ahead, the area where Zhenwu and the others stood erupted with a thunderous roar.

Amid the massive shockwave, Chen Chu and the others saw that the devastating breath attack had forced Tyretis back tens of thousands of kilometers. At the same time, the golden-red crystal wall surrounding the area began to heal at rapid speed.

In the end, all that remained was a thunderous roar, filled with overwhelming murderous intent, echoing across the heavens and earth. "Human! I will kill you!"

With the crystal wall fully healed and Tyretis’s presence gone, all that remained ahead was a vast golden-red dome stretching across the sky.

That dome was actually the Eternal Divine Region itself, taking shape within the mythical world. Its edges had already turned into multi-faceted crystal walls, and they were rapidly being dyed red.

Boom!

The moment the entire wall turned red, space-time trembled, and the Eternal Divine Region began to rise. At an unseen height above, it disappeared into the depths of the void at a speed that looked slow but was in reality unimaginably fast.

From afar, it looked like a gargantuan red maw had opened in the void and swallowed the Eternal Divine Region in one gulp. The sheer grandeur of this scene left even Chen Chu and Zhenwu in awe.

Cultivators like Li Daoyi and the Heavenly Feathered warriors could only stand frozen in place, staring in stunned silence. After all, they had just witnessed an unknown "colossal beast" devour a region over two million kilometers wide.

Suddenly, all members of the Heavenly Feathered Race, including the mythical-level warriors and chief gods, dropped to one knee. The three divine kings also adopted solemn expressions and bowed in respect toward the devoured world.

At that moment, Xuanwu suddenly said with a trace of excitement, "Brother Bordea, do you think the Eternal Obliteration from your nobles could wipe out all of the demon gods?"

Immediately, Chen Chu and Zhenwu turned to look as well, their gazes flickering with anticipation. If such a devastating technique could bury the demon gods of the three Purgatory Empires, along with all their demon kings, great demon kings, and billions of elite troops, then the pressure on humanity would be vastly reduced. Upon regrouping, they could even launch a counteroffensive, wiping out the Dark Demonic Morkaya Empire and the Greeta Battle Demon Empire in a single decisive strike.

Right now, their three supreme powers, as well as Chen Chu who rivaled a demon god and Zhenwu, together with the three divine kings of the Heavenly Feathered Race and the Lord of Holy Light who also possessed divine king-level strength, had already surpassed the two Purgatory Empires in overall top-tier combat power.

The two empires only had four known demon gods, and even if there were one or two more peak great demon kings, they still wouldn’t be a match for the current human alliance. The only concern was the three great empires of the Purgatory Clan that were at war with another civilization.

Humanity still knew very little about that conflict. They weren’t sure whether that civilization remained evenly matched with the three empires or, like the Heavenly Feathered Race, were already on the brink of collapse.
