In the scene, an independent and complete world, as Chen Chu unleashed his full firepower against Akunus's law of talent, the ground for dozens of kilometers was directly shattered, turning into countless floating fragments in the void.
At this moment, golden flames spread across the void, transforming into golden fire dragons that covered several kilometers. Under the intense heat, countless fragments of rock and soil melted into lava, while the foul-smelling blood evaporated into nothingness.
Chen Chu was wrapping things up.
Although there had been a manifestation of the Blood Moon falling due to the intersection of laws, confirming that Akunus had completely perished, Chen Chu remained cautious.
After all, even though Akunus had fallen to the late stage of the ninth level of heaven, he was still essentially a mythical-level being, possessing the formidable vitality and immortality of a mythical existence.
If it weren't for the void death eyes being able to define death and forcibly erase his soul consciousness fused with the sea of blood, it might have taken several days of battle, killing him hundreds or even thousands of times to completely destroy him.
This was also the headache the Federation had with Akunus in the past.
Over decades, this guy had accumulated a vast sea of blood comprised of countless lifeblood, including blood from humans he had drained and countless giant beasts hunted in the mythical world.
Especially the blood of several early mythical giant beasts had terrifyingly elevated his vitality.
Of course, Akunus's terror was relative to cultivators of the same rank; as long as someone was stronger than him, they could still forcibly obliterate him with king-level power.
For instance, Xuanwu Heavenly King had directly exploded his blood god true body, cutting off most of his "life."
However, even so, Akunus's strength after falling to the ninth level of heaven was still formidable; even peak experts at the ninth level of heaven would avoid his sharpness, or they would be drained of their life force.
But unfortunately for him, he met Chen Chu.
As he absorbed the primordial yellow qi and returned to his innate state, Chen Chu's realm appeared not to have improved much, but overall, he had become extremely terrifying.
His body and soul's capacity and potential had been expanded to a horrifying extent.
Under normal circumstances, every individual actually possesses a limit, which represents how much energy the body can contain and how much talent and law the soul can bear.
For example, when at the first level of heaven, a cultivator's physical strength limit is only 300 kilograms. Once reaching this limit, no matter how much more they cultivate, they cannot become significantly stronger.
This includes the subsequent 800 kilograms limit at the double heaven and the 2,000 kilograms limit at the three heavens.
Cultivation is about defying the heavens and altering one's fate, breaking biological limits with each breakthrough in realm.
After the four heavens, although cultivators no longer measure their realms by physical strength, the true power and strength contained within still have limits.
This is also why giant beasts have such massive bodies.
A large physique signifies a powerful body; otherwise, it can't withstand massive physical activities, and the energy contained is also stronger and more abundant, capable of carrying stronger laws and rules.
Humans, on the other hand, have embarked on the path of comprehending laws, becoming high-dimensional beings able to harness the powers of the heavens and earth.
For instance, Chen Chu now is what those cultivators dream of attaining—a higher life form.
Having returned to his innate state, a complete "heaven and earth" gradually formed within him, independent of the external world, possessing the characteristics of "creation" on his own.
To simplify, the past Chen Chu was like a "large machine" that needed to consume energy constantly, and this energy came from the outside world.
Even the most basic lifeblood, when consumed heavily and during self-recovery, still absorbed energies from the external world and required vast amounts.
