Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 442: The Void Catastrophe, Chen Chu Severely Injured (II)

The earth quaked, and the deafening roars of falling debris echoed through the sky like the explosion of artillery shells.

Although this monster had already been contaminated, its powerful battle instincts remained intact. It wouldn't engage in a back-and-forth exchange of attacks.

Whoosh!

Amid the rolling dust, a golden light exploded through the air at five times the speed of sound. Chen Chu then appeared several kilometers away in a rather sorry state.

His golden-red battle chestplate had been sliced diagonally open, revealing a horrific half-meter-long wound that exposed his ribs and even his internal organs.

Black sword qi lingered in the exposed flesh, carrying a dark, maddening will that not only prevented his wounds from healing but also continued to harm him.

This was, without a doubt, the most severe injury that Chen Chu had suffered since he had begun cultivating.

This was why he had avoided stepping into dangerous areas before. At higher levels, even a minor difference in cultivation could create an enormous gap in strength between warriors, especially when facing peak-level monsters of the same realm.

Despite his immense combat power, which was already comparable to the middle stage of level 8, his defense was still at the level of a Seventh Heavenly Realm warrior.

As a result, the peak Eighth Heavenly Realm monster managed to severely injure him with just two strikes. His defenses simply couldn’t withstand the force.

Despite such grave injuries, though, Chen Chu’s expression revealed intense excitement. He didn’t even use his true dragon power to expel the dark sword qi and heal his wounds.

This was the unique trait of Hellblood Battle Will, known as Desperate Invincibility.

When injured in battle or when his vitality dropped drastically, an invincible will could be activated. The more severe the injury and the more his vitality was consumed, the stronger his battle will would grow.

Boom!

As a surge of invincible will burst forth from Chen Chu, his armor rapidly expanded, merging with the Battle Demon Phantom behind him.

In an instant, the earth collapsed, and waves of air roared as an eighty-meter-tall figure appeared, with three faces and six arms, its body burning with blood-colored flames and surrounded by thunderbolts.

Four blood-colored light wheels spun behind its head, while purple-black mist swirled around it. Like an ancient demon god, it radiated a terrifying presence that rivaled the alien monster.

With thirtyfold boosts to his strength, defense, golden flames, thunderbolt, and battle will, along with the enhancements from his two passive abilities and Blood Sea Purgatory, Chen Chu had now reached a level comparable to the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

This scene astonished both Xie Chen and Ji Yongning, who were observing from the void beyond.

Ji Yongning, who had been ready to step in, was momentarily stunned. "What kind of ability is that giant transformation? It made his aura instantly surge to the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Realm!"

"It should be that divine rune transformation of his. But after breaking through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, it seems to have shifted to his True Martial Phantom, using the battle armor refined specifically for this as the carrier,” Xie Chen replied.

"In that giant form, he’s become the energy core. The transcendent energy inside him seems to be burning as a source of kinetic power. What a unique use of divine inscriptions,” he added.

With their sharp eyes and experience, the two quickly discerned the changes in Chen Chu’s fighting style.

They could only see the method of its use, though. They wouldn’t be able to understand the core rune ability and its structure unless Chen Chu allowed them to study it.

In the depths of the ruins, as Chen Chu entered his Battle Demon Dragon form, the alien monster sensed the immense pressure radiating from him. Its expression turned grim.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An even more immense power erupted from the alien monster. Black light gathered in the sky, forming hundreds of black sword qi tens of meters long that swirled around it.

Then, with a slash from the alien monster, the black sword qi rapidly expanded into a hundred-meter-long sword light, blasting toward Chen Chu like a storm.

Boom!

The halberd in the hands of the Battle Demon Dragon, which sealed the Blood Sea Purgatory, grew larger, transforming into a 300-meter-long purple-red weapon that swept across the land, dominating all before it.

Centered around the Battle Demon Dragon, a 300-meter-tall ring of purple-black light burst forth, expanding rapidly. Everything in its path was shredded, even the ground was stripped ten meters deep.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ring of light collided with the black sword light, triggering a series of violent explosions. When the shattered ring expanded to its five-hundred-meter limit, it erupted into a thunderous blast.

The heavens and earth quaked, and the ground sank.

Amid the terrifying explosion, nine purple-red halberds, each two hundred meters long, shot out like nine destructive demon dragons, spiraling through the air and stirring up gales before appearing in front of the alien monster.

Black sword qi hundreds of meters long erupted from the contaminated monster, blossoming like a black lotus flower.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The nine purple-red halberds slammed into the black sword lotus, the collision causing an explosion. A dazzling purple-red mushroom cloud slowly rose from the ground.

The intense blast shattered the hundreds of meters of ground, and the shockwave surged to a kilometer away, forming an ever-expanding transparent wall of air.

Whoosh!

Two clouds of dust suddenly scattered. The Purple Spirit surrounding the Battle Demon Dragon surged as it burst forth, further destroying the area.

Meanwhile, the alien monster in the distance transformed into a black streak, moving at six times the speed of sound. It appeared in front of Chen Chu, splitting into eight parts and surrounding him from all directions.

Eight black sword qi tore through the atmosphere and pierced the ground before instantly vanishing near the Battle Demon Dragon. Chen Chu immediately felt an oppressive, volcanic force explode beneath his feet.

Boom!

Hundreds of meters of grounds crumbled, and countless black sword qi shot skyward. They then transformed into an even larger black sword lotus surrounded by rolling smoke.

Whoosh!

A powerful pressure suddenly blasted the dust around the battlefield away, revealing a three-hundred-meter-wide crater. At the bottom of the crater, the Battle Demon Dragon stood completely unharmed.

With the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor’s defensive core rune activated, Chen Chu gained a thirtyfold defense boost. Now, it was nearly impossible for anyone of the same level to break through his defenses.

Unless the opponent possessed power from a higher major realm.

"Die, humans!"

The alien monster in the distance let out a violent roar as its boundless power erupted and split into three black sword dragons that shot toward Chen Chu.

"Get lost!"

With a fierce growl, the Battle Demon Dragon swung its halberd. Entwined with thunder and flames, it shattered the three black sword dragons in one blow and sent the alien monster flying.

At the same time, two of its rear arms unleashed thunderbolts, firing several half-meter-thick blue and red lightning strikes, but they were shattered by the black sword qi surrounding the alien monster.

The remaining two arms gathered the power of blood flame from the golden flames, forming ten blood-colored suns around the halo to prepare for the final, devastating strike.

Boom!

As soon as the alien monster landed, it immediately transformed into a black sword light. It evaded a barrage of blood-red lightning and attacked the Battle Demon Dragon.

Boom!

The black sword qi collided with the purple-red halberd, causing hundreds of meters of ground to collapse once more.

The overwhelming force shattered the sword qi and blasted away the alien monster. It crashed into a mountain several kilometers away, destroying half of it.

At that moment, a purple-red halberd over three hundred meters long pierced through the heavens and earth, descending at several times the speed of sound.

Boom!

Under the sealed Blood Sea Purgatory illusory world, equal to the compression and instantaneous release of ten times the power of the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Realm, the entire mountain crumbled. Endless soil and rocks were thrown into the air, forming concentric waves of destructive shockwaves that shook the earth.

This was the terrifying destructive power of peak level 8.

Compared to the underwater battle of the Thunder Emperor against the colossal beast, the surface performance was even more exaggerated without the resistance of seawater.

Whoosh!

Amid the dust of the explosion, a black sword light shot up a thousand meters into the sky.

Below, at the edge of the collapsed mountain, a crater with a diameter of hundreds of meters had formed. The earth around it was cracked, resembling a broken world.

Although it managed to endure the blow, the alien monster was now in bad shape. Still, although its armor was damaged, its aura grew even more fierce and violent. It turned into a black sword light and charged at Chen Chu again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two engaged in another world-shaking clash deep within the ruins.

The contaminated alien monster, unafraid of death and feeling no sense of pain, only had a savage instinct for destruction and a relentless desire to eradicate humanity. It attacked the Battle Demon Dragon with frenzied assaults.

Chen Chu, who was still bleeding, fought with equal ferocity. As blood continued to flow from his chest, the Desperate Invincibility activated, amplifying his battle will enough for him to gradually suppress his opponent.

Amid the blazing transcendent energy, Chen Chu’s aura grew increasingly formidable, repeatedly blasting the contaminated monster away.

Chen Chu ignored the wounds inflicted by the opponent’s sword light. As long as the Battle Demon Dragon’s defenses were not breached, the giant transformation could not be broken.

The fierce combat nearly completely flattened the surrounding lands. Mountains collapsed, canyons were filled in, and new rifts and deep gorges were formed.

Each collision and explosion compressed the air, creating tangible shockwaves that whipped up typhoon-level storms across the land.

As time passed, the transcendent energy burning within the Battle Demon Dragon began to deplete. Nevertheless, the Battle Demon Dragon roared, choosing not to dodge the descending black sword qi. Its thunderous arms reached out to grasp the alien monster.

Boom!

The full-force strike of the alien monster shattered the defenses around the Battle Demon Dragon’s head, allowing the black sword to drive straight into its helmet.

Bang!

The close-range strike imbued with Eighth Heavenly Realm power completely blasted apart the Battle Demon Dragon’s head. Chunks of its massive helmet flew into the distance.

Taking advantage of the contaminated monster’s stunned moment, the thunderbolt-wrapped palms of the Battle Demon Dragon crushed it, the powerful impact shattering the space itself.

Boom!

The immense power within its palms exploded. Black sword qi tore through the Battle Demon Dragon's hands, but before the contaminated monster could break free, ten blood-colored condensed suns behind the Battle Demon Dragon fell, bringing world-destroying power down upon its hands.

Boom!

A massive, glowing golden-red sun rose from the ground. With a force comparable to a nuclear explosion, it broke the earth and instantly melted the soil and rocks into lava, which were then flung thousands of meters high.

The shockwave coursed through the air, forming heavy concentric rings of white steam that spread several kilometers.

It all boiled down to a horrifying spectacle.
