Chapter 844
Blood Sacrifice for All Living Beings, A Life-or-Death Battle to Return to the Ultimate
"Boom boom boom boom boom ————————!!!!!"
This was accompanied by the roar of the Emperor of the Underworld, which sounded like an ancient incantation.
The entire Burial Heaven Origin Realm, this vast and boundless supercontinent, suddenly trembled violently in an extremely strange way!
Followed by.
Under Su Chen's somewhat surprised gaze.
Below, on that vast land, there were billions of remaining Origin Realm defenders, ordinary native Origin Realm beings, and even enslaved low-dimensional realm lords.
Their bodies exploded simultaneously without warning!
Hundreds of billions of lives were lost before they could even scream, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
But this is not over yet!
Not only living beings, but even the land, mountains, rivers, and even the flowing river of laws of the Burial Heaven Origin Realm withered and disintegrated wildly under this strange sacrificial power, transforming into wisps of scarlet [blood-red Origin Qi]!
At this moment, the Emperor of the Netherworld Devouring Abyss, in a fit of madness, sacrificed the entire Burial Heaven Origin Realm, which he had painstakingly cultivated for countless eras!
He sacrificed all his subjects and all his territory!
"Splash—"
The endless crimson primordial energy, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, frantically poured into the massive demonic body of the Netherworld Emperor!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Emperor Ming Shi Yuan let out a painful yet frenzied roar.
Under the blessing of this incredibly powerful sacrificial force.
The injury he sustained from Su Chen's slash was instantly healed! Not only that, his realm barrier of [Ninth Realm - Early Stage of Returning to Truth] was actually forcibly broken through under the impact of this blood-red Origin Qi!
His aura surged upwards like a rocket!
[Peak of the Early Stage of Returning to True Nature]...
[Mid-stage of Half-Step Return to Truth]...
Finally, amidst a terrifying roar of laws, his aura stabilized with overwhelming force at—[Ninth Realm - Mid-Stage of Returning to Truth]!
"boom!"
Emperor Ming Shi Yuan suddenly raised his right fist, surrounded by a dense crimson divine light of returning to truth, and slammed it down hard at the world-destroying fire blade that Su Chen had cleaved down!
"Smash it!!!"
"boom--------!!!!!"
Fists and knives clashed!
This time, when Su Chen's indestructible Origin Blade Aura came into contact with the blood-red giant fist that was wrapped in the power of a world's sacrifice, it actually made a crisp sound and then shattered inch by inch!
The powerful recoil caused Su Chen's figure to pause slightly in mid-air, retreating several hundred feet.
"Oh?"
Su Chen steadied himself and looked down at the Netherworld Emperor, whose aura had undergone a dramatic change, whose size had increased several times over, and whose body reeked of a nauseating stench of blood.
His eyes showed no panic at all at the opponent's breakthrough in the face of battle. Instead, they shone with the light of hungry wolves, as if they had seen a rare treasure!
"Sacrifice all living beings in this world to forcibly elevate one's realm."
"Old mudfish, you've got guts."
Su Chen stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. On his arrogant face, the most maniacal and savage grin in history appeared.
"I originally thought that your initial stage of the Dao Fruit of Returning to Truth might not be enough to satisfy your teeth."
"Now, you've fattened yourself up."
"Excellent! Excellent!!!"
Su Chen suddenly brandished the Origin Demon Blade in his hand and laughed wildly to the sky.
"Since you have already given up on this Origin Realm, then I will eat without any scruples!"
"A prey at the mid-stage of the Ninth Realm, this is my first proper meal in the Great Luo Origin Sea, and I won't hold back!!!"
……
……
The Great Luo Source Sea, the Burial Heaven Source Realm.
An endless crimson storm raged across the once vast and boundless supercontinent. The tragic deaths of hundreds of billions of lives and the collapse of countless mountains and rivers transformed into the purest and most malevolent [Crimson Origin Energy] in the world.
All this destruction was solely for the sake of one person—[Emperor of the Netherworld]!
This tyrant, who had ruled the Burial Heaven Origin Realm for countless eras, finally revealed the most ruthless and cruel side of the Great Luo Origin Sea Overlord after Su Chen cleaved his natal artifact in two with a single strike and forced him into a desperate situation. Without hesitation, he sacrificed his entire world, which he had painstakingly built, in exchange for a brief peak of reaching the [Ninth Realm - Mid-Stage Return to Truth]!
"boom------------!!!!!"
The crimson light of returning to the true nature shot straight into the purple-gold sky of the Origin Sea. Under the infusion of blood energy, the Netherworld Emperor's towering demonic body, hundreds of millions of feet tall, resembled a world-destroying demon god crawling out of the ultimate hell. His muscles were like twisted ancient blood dragons, and every inch of his skin flowed with terrifying laws powerful enough to instantly decay lower-dimensional universes.
He stared intently at Su Chen below, who was dressed in a green robe and whose size seemed like dust compared to him. His blood-red eyes burned with a furious and murderous intent that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Su Chen, you brat! You destroyed my foundation and shattered my Dao artifacts. Today, I will use the billions of souls of the entire Burial Heaven Origin Realm to eternally suppress you at the bottom of the Origin Sea, to suffer the torment of having your heart devoured by all laws!!!"
With a roar from the Emperor of the Netherworld, endless crimson primordial energy condensed into a compressed "crimson singularity" on his clenched right fist. This punch contained the full power of a mid-stage Returning to True Realm cultivator, as well as the ultimate resentment from the birth and death of an entire realm!
"【Burial Heaven Extreme Path - Blood Sacrifice Collapse Fist】!!!"
With a single punch, the entire Great Luo Yuan Sea seemed to be affected. The purplish-gold seawater surged backward, and the concept of space was utterly crushed. Along the trajectory of this punch, all rules vanished into nothingness, leaving only pure, horrifying destruction and death!
Faced with such a terrifying attack that could instantly kill any early-stage Ninth Realm expert, Su Chen not only did not retreat a single step, but his deep eyes instead erupted with unprecedented fervor and excitement!
"Good timing!!!"
Su Chen roared to the sky, his long black hair dancing wildly in the blood-red storm. He did not use the Origin Demon Blade, but instead directly returned the longsword to his inner universe.
"Since you prefer to rely on brute force, then I'll play along with you in this most primal form of combat!"
"【Origin Return to Truth - Myriad Realms Suppressing Prison Body】!!!"
Boom!!!
Within Su Chen's body, the inner universe, fused with the First Cause and the Dao Fruit of the Prehistoric Era, was operating wildly. A supreme divine flame, displaying both dark gold and chaotic colors, erupted from his pores. He did not enlarge his body, but instead forcibly compressed that terrifying mass, enough to split multiple universes, into his seven-foot frame!
Su Chen stomped his right foot into the air.
"boom!"
The absolute nothingness beneath his feet was instantly blasted into a bottomless black hole. Using this terrifying recoil, Su Chen, like a chaotic meteor defying the heavens, met the colossal, galaxy-sized crimson fist of the Netherworld Emperor with a single, unadorned punch!
"【Origin of the Ultimate Path - The Return of All Paths to Nothingness Fist】!!!"
One fist, one large and one small, one blood red and one dark gold, collided violently in the sky above this shattered Origin Realm!
"Thump—————————————!!!!!"
A deafening roar, as if striking the heart of multiple universes, instantly reverberated throughout the Great Luoyuan Sea, spanning billions of light-years!
At the point of impact, the concepts of time and space were instantly and completely erased. Immediately afterward, a visible black and red shockwave of destruction, traveling at a speed exceeding a billion times the speed of light, swept wildly in all directions! "Crack...crack crack..."
The Burial Sky Origin Realm continent, which was already shattered during the sacrifice, could no longer withstand the onslaught of this shockwave and collapsed into countless cosmic dust particles!
Even with the protection of the Returning to Truth Divine Talisman bestowed by Su Chen, the Hun Tian Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord, who were hiding behind the army, were still shaken by the terrifying backlash and coughed up blood. Together with the tens of millions of Longevity Demon Army, they were violently thrown into the Origin Sea tens of millions of miles away.
"This is terrifying... Is this the true life-or-death struggle of the Ninth Realm?!" The Demon Lord of Chaos stared intently at the center of the destructive storm, his eyes filled with horror and fanaticism.
The eye of the storm.
Su Chen and the Emperor of the Underworld were locked in a fierce fist-to-fist confrontation.
An expression of utter shock and disbelief appeared on the massive face of the Netherworld Emperor. He felt as if his punch, which had gathered the power of a world's sacrifice at the peak of the mid-stage of the Returning to Truth realm, had struck Su Chen's small fist as if it had struck an unshakeable piece of supreme divine iron!
Not only that, but a terrifying devouring power, extremely domineering and capable of forcibly devouring and assimilating even his blood-colored Origin Qi, surged from Su Chen's fist!
"You...you are clearly only at the initial stage of the Returning to Truth Realm! How can your physical body and foundation withstand the mid-stage power that I sacrificed an entire realm for?!" Emperor Ming Shi Yuan roared through gritted teeth, the blood-red veins on his arms bulging, attempting to crush Su Chen completely.
"realm?"
Su Chen sneered, his cold face appearing particularly arrogant in the blood-red light.
"You piece of trash who climbed up by exploiting lower-dimensional universes and sucking up the bones of the dead, do you even dare to talk to me about realms?"
"My foundation is the First Cause that devoured all things! It is the supreme Dao Fruit that perfectly integrates prehistory and the present world! No matter how strong your blood sacrifice power is, it is nothing more than a slightly larger tonic in front of my origin inner universe!"
"Get out of my way!!!"
Su Chen's eyes widened in fury, and the speed of his inner universe's operation instantly surged to its limit. An overwhelming and unstoppable chaotic power erupted from his right arm!
"boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, the colossal demonic body of the Netherworld Emperor, towering hundreds of millions of feet tall, was actually forced back three steps by Su Chen's powerful punch! With each step back, towering waves of law were stirred up in the purple-gold Origin Sea!
"You bastard!!!"
Emperor Ming Shiyuan steadied himself, feeling utterly humiliated. He, the mighty overlord of the Great Luo Origin Sea, had actually been defeated head-on by a transcendent being whose size resembled an ant in a contest of strength!
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
Emperor Ming Shi Yuan went completely mad. He frantically formed hand seals in front of his chest, and the massive crimson primordial energy within his body churned violently like boiling water.
"【Burial Heaven Forbidden Technique - Myriad Calamities Blood Fiend Demon God Dharma Form】!!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a roar from the Emperor of the Netherworld, his already enormous demonic body began to expand wildly once more! Layers of thick, mountain-like dark red bone armor grew from his body, covering his entire form. From his back, twelve pairs of blood-red bone wings, blotting out the sky, suddenly tore open, each bone spike adorned with a remnant of a dead star!
An even more terrifying pressure, several times greater than before, erupted from the body of this twelve-winged Blood Demon God! He merely stood there, and the surrounding Origin Sea Laws were forcibly twisted into a blood-red purgatory.
"Su Chen! Before my strongest Dharma form, your laughable brute force is utterly insignificant!"
The Emperor of the Netherworld's eyes, like two blood-red abysses, were fixed on Su Chen. With a sudden flap of his twelve pairs of bone wings, he transformed into a blood-red lightning bolt that tore through dimensions, carrying an aura that could crush everything, and charged madly toward Su Chen!
Faced with that terrifying Dharma form that seemed to press down like the entire Great Luoyuan Sea.
Su Chen did not back down at all. He slowly twisted his neck, making a crisp cracking sound like popping beans.
"Comparing sizes? Comparing appearances?"
A cruel yet excited smile appeared on Su Chen's lips.
"Old mudfish, have you forgotten that I, the God of Gluttony, devoured my way up from the lower realms!"
"Open for me!!!"
"roar------------!!!!!"
With a furious roar that shattered the endless sea of origin, Su Chen unleashed the primordial essence within his body, which had been compressed to its limit, like a super cosmic explosion!
"【Origin Return to Truth - Limitless Gluttony Demon God's Dharma Form】!!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Su Chen's slender body, clad in a green robe, swelled up against the wind in a fraction of a second!
Tens of millions of feet! Hundreds of millions of feet! A billion billions of feet!!!
An unparalleled demon god, whose size was no less than that of the Emperor of the Netherworld Erosion, and whose aura was even more profound and indescribable, suddenly burst open the heavens and earth in the Great Luo Origin Sea!
Su Chen's Dharma form was entirely covered with a layer of ancient dragon scales displaying chaotic two colors, each scale inscribed with supreme Dao patterns representing "creation" and "destruction." Behind his head, there was no longer a single Gluttony Divine Ring, but rather a [Ultimate Origin Divine Wheel] composed of 99,999 black holes connected end to end!
As the divine wheel turned, even the purplish-gold waters of the Great Luo Source Sea were mercilessly swallowed up and obliterated!
"What?! How could your Dharma form possess such power?!"
The Netherworld Emperor, who was charging forward, felt a sudden tremor in his heart the moment he saw Su Chen manifest his Dharma form. An instinctive fear from the depths of his soul arose uncontrollably.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released!
"Bluster! Die!"
The Netherworld Emperor roared, and his twelve pairs of blood-red bone wings, like twelve supreme heavenly blades capable of cleaving the heavens and destroying the earth, carried all the bloodthirsty power of his mid-stage Returning to Truth realm and fiercely slashed down at Su Chen's Dharma form!
"Good timing!"
The Gluttonous Demon God, transformed from Su Chen, let out a deafening laugh. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his two arms, as thick as ancient star rivers, suddenly reaching out and directly grabbing at the blood-red bone wings that were attacking him, without dodging or avoiding them!
"Clang!!!"
The ear-piercing sound of metal scraping echoed throughout the source sea.
Su Chen's hands, covered in chaotic dragon scales, actually gripped the two pairs of blood-red bone wings at the very front of the Netherworld Erosion Emperor! No matter how frantically the blood-fiend laws on those bone wings cut, they could only scatter sparks across the dragon scales, unable to harm Su Chen's very core!
"Sever it from my grasp!!!"
Su Chen suddenly exerted force with both arms, and the Origin True Qi surged through his arms like an angry dragon!
"Snap!!!"
Amidst the horrified screams of the Emperor of the Netherworld, his two indestructible pairs of blood-red bone wings were actually torn apart and severed from the root by Su Chen using brute force!
"Aaaaaaah!!! My wings!!!"
Emperor Ming Shi Yuan convulsed in pain, and a large amount of dark red divine blood poured into the Source Sea like a torrential downpour.
But he was also a ruthless character. Amidst the excruciating pain, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Instead of retreating, he took advantage of the moment when Su Chen was tearing apart the bone wings, opened his gaping maw full of fangs, and bit down hard on Su Chen's avatar's neck!
He intended to use his Netherworld Corrosion Corpse Poison, imbued with the resentment and venom of an entire realm, to completely corrode Su Chen's Dao Foundation! (End of Chapter)
