Standing amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood after a night of relentless slaughter, Chen Chu exhaled slowly, feeling the power coursing around him. His gaze flickered subtly.
In an instant, a translucent screen appeared before his eyes.
Hellblood Battle Will(Advanced)
- The demon god phantom formed by slaughter and destruction gains a substantial enhancement, with the basic amplification of transcendent energy increasing to eleven times.
- Lord of Hell: When standing within the Apocalypse Purgatory Domain, the demon god phantom transforms into the Lord of Hell and receives the supreme force of hell’s laws, significantly amplifying the domain’s power.
- Note: When the battle will reaches its limit and merges with the laws of hell, the wielder transforms into a demon god, wielding control over the apocalyptic hell and becoming a true Lord of Hell.
Lord of Hell. Chen Chu’s gaze shifted away from the attribute screen.
In this night of madness, the augmentation of his condensed demon god phantom had not only increased from fivefold to elevenfold, but had also undergone a unique transformation. Moreover, the Apocalypse Purgatory rune manifested into a domain that grew even stronger amid the killing.
He felt that after a few more large-scale massacres, with the endless accumulation of blood and fury, his battle will and rune domain would likely achieve a breakthrough in essence.
However, a beast tide was an unusual event, not something one could encounter at will—only in the frontlines of wars between two civilizations, where high-level warriors clashed in numbers, would such a scene emerge.
The spoils of this battle weren’t just the battle will and domain, but also Life Crystals.
Just then, a golden ray of sunlight poured down from the sky. Chen Chu responded swiftly, retracting the blood sea domain and his halberd, before calling to the five people standing on the ridge in the distance.
"Brother Qingqiu, Captain Lan, don’t just stand there. Come down and help out! The materials and Life Crystals from these beasts are valuable."
When the five of them hurried down the slope and saw the countless carcasses of mutated beasts scattered across the mountainside, Qingqiu Minghui smiled wryly. "Brother Chen, with just our small group, it’s going to be hard to finish processing so many mutated beasts in a short time."
He's right. Chen Chu paused in realization.
Indeed, he hadn’t kept track of how many mutated beasts he had killed in this battle. Sweeping through them all, most of the beasts had been utterly crushed, making it nearly impossible to tell their levels.
In this situation, they’d have to search through each one to confirm the presence of Life Crystals, which could take days to complete.
Suddenly, the space distorted, and three figures appeared, a powerful oppressive aura spreading around them.
Qingqiu Minghui and his group immediately greeted them respectfully. "Greetings, Your Majesties."
"No need for formalities." Chen Wang nodded slightly at them, then turned to Chen Chu with a small smile. "Leave this to others. Everyone has fought through the night and is probably exhausted."
"Understood." Chen Chu didn’t object.
Soon, under the orders of Chen Wang, the commander of the Seventh Legion outpost, the nearest personnel from the Tianlan Mines were the first to arrive.
When these people witnessed the collapsed mountains, shattered earth, and vast craters—each several hundred meters wide—their shock was overwhelming.
Especially the scene of mutated beast corpses blanketing the central part of the mountains, with blood flowing from the peaks to form a red river at the base, which left them speechless for a long while.
"The battle last night was terrifying; it almost tore this entire mountain range apart."
"Two Blood Moons fell last night, marking the death of two Purgatory Demon Kings. Our human race is truly powerful."
"Yes, but who would’ve thought that Deputy Chief Jin was a traitor."
"That scoundrel—he actually tried to betray our race’s geniuses..."
As night retreated, the golden sun rose, signaling the beginning of a month-long daytime in the mythical world.
The enormous Moonlight Wish Tree stood firm between heaven and earth. The silvery leaves that glowed in the night now shimmered like white jade under the sunlight, reflecting a radiant golden hue.
From afar, it resembled a towering golden peak that soared into the clouds—majestic and sacred.
Atop the tree’s peak, over ten thousand meters high, a swirling vortex of solid energy formed from endless silver radiance, rotating slowly and emitting powerful waves of energy.
A silver-haired youth stood within this sea of brilliance. Dark energy, bound by the laws of the abyss, faded away from his left arm, gradually healing the injuries from last night’s battle.
Meanwhile, Chen Chu, clad in a casual gray outfit after setting aside his battle armor, stood on a small leaf about ten meters in diameter and half a meter thick. Gazing down at the misty sea of clouds below, he felt utterly refreshed.
The group had been back for more than half a day. Thanks to the Moonlight Wish Tree, a mythical-level entity, the last trace of dark energy on Chen Wang’s arm dissipated, and the surrounding energy vortex slowly vanished.
Chen Wang, now fully healed, opened his eyes and sighed. "Good thing I had your help, Moonlight. Otherwise, it would’ve taken me months to expel and recover from these injuries."
The nearby branches trembled gently, producing a soft rustling sound, while a warm, gentle thought transmitted an assurance to the silver-haired youth, telling him there was no need for formality.
This scene caught Chen Chu’s attention. The world was filled with countless geniuses, and many possessed an extraordinary fate. He wasn’t the only one blessed with good fortune.
Take, for instance, Chen Wang, the king before him. Twenty years ago, he was a peerless genius, not only with exceptional cultivation talent but with enviable luck as well.
Back then, as an Eighth Heavenly Realm cultivator, he ventured into the mythical world, joined the Expansion Division, and navigated various perilous regions. In the vast world, he discovered the Moonlight Wish Tree.
No one knew what experiences they went through, but he eventually forged a contract with the tree. His cultivation quickly advanced to the level of a king, and he established this territory for humanity.
As the tree’s contractee, Chen Wang not only reached the middle stage of the king level, but also became incredibly powerful within the tree’s domain, which was similar to a divine realm.
With boundless energy, the power of law from the divine realm, and a superconducting electromagnetic annihilation cannon powered by the tree, even an ordinary king-level powerhouse couldn’t breach this stronghold.
Combined with the strong support from the Expansion Division headquarters nearby, the defenses here were indeed impregnable.
