CHAPTER TEXT:
The world trembled as the Demon King returned.
With the full power of two peak seventh-level experts, a crater over forty meters in diameter was blasted into the outskirts of the city.
The earth within a hundred meters of the pit was thrown into the air, sharp cracks spreading everywhere. Trees were broken, and roads were shattered.
This was the destructive power of a high-level cultivator of the seventh level of heaven, equivalent to a rapidly moving single-target missile launcher. The eighth and ninth levels of heaven were even more terrifying.
Not to mention the king-level existence, which was said to be comparable to a deity.
Just a soul avatar that descended and possessed a mid-stage sixth-level cultist of the Evil God forced all of Chen Chu's strength out.
Today's battle took everyone by surprise.
Whether it was the Demon King Kakotorus, the Blood God Akunus, or even the federal military, including Chen Chu himself, it was the same.
After killing the cultist of the Demon God who acted as the "eyes," Chen Chu aimed to see if he could discover any trace of Kakotorus.
Who would have thought that the other party would harbor murderous intent against him?
Upon sensing his solo departure and emitting a subtle aura, he was led all the way to Maimir City.
In the intelligence obtained by Kakotorus from the Blood God Akunus, Chen Chu's cultivation level was assessed to be early-stage sixth level, with battle strength comparable to a strong early-stage seventh-level cultivator.
For such a "small shrimp," Kakotorus was confident he could end the battle in a breath, or just a few seconds.
Not to mention his normal combat power reaching mid-stage seventh level, just the consumption of soul power and directly attacking the soul with his dark magic eye could easily subdue an ordinary early-stage seventh-level cultivator.
As for why he wanted to kill Chen Chu after leading him to Maimir City, it was naturally to shake off the pursuit of the following Human Race experts.
He was well aware of his situation, knowing that once his whereabouts were exposed, he would be surrounded by powerful humans. In such a scenario, the complex terrain of the city was the best cover.
With his means as a king-level existence, as long as he broke the line of sight, changed his identity and aura, nobody in a city of over a million people could find him.
This was also the reason why, after meeting him in the city center, Chen Chu maintained a distance of a hundred meters, not daring to let him out of his line of sight, regardless of how he threatened him.
Regarding the ordinary people who died along the way, Chen Chu could only say it was bad luck.
Faced with an existence like Kakotorus, even he couldn't care about those ordinary people and could only try to remain restrained and deal with it after exiting the city.
Unfortunately, when the two arrived at the city's edge, the Blood God Akunus suddenly appeared, drawing away the eighth-level strongman, and Kakotorus finally couldn't hold back his strike.
If it weren't for Chen Chu possessing the void-slaying rune and having a terrifying strong soul, he would have been severely injured at the very least.
The subsequent battle naturally didn't require much discussion; Kakotorus, who misjudged his strength, ultimately exhausted himself to death.
Yes, exhausted! After releasing a final blow with the remaining soul power, Kakotorus's will collapsed, and the possessed body of the cultist of the Demon God shattered.
From the moment the two met in the city center to the pursuit that crossed half the city toward the city edge, to the end of the battle, it was no more than four minutes.
As for the notion of unleashing all powers upon meeting and entering the divine might dragon form to crush the other, only a child would think like that.
For high-level cultivators, starting a battle with a major move is no different from seeking death because once a limit burst occurs without defeating the opponent, all that's left is to wait for death.
