I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 178 - 172: Divine Demon War

"That aura!"

Standing amidst the scorching magma sea, the Purgatory Demon Ape turned its head, looking at the gray death energy permeating the streets, its eyes showing solemnity.

The fleeting aura from deep within the earth was terrifying, but due to its vagueness, its level couldn't be precisely sensed.

However, it was clear that these ancient city buildings could no longer be destroyed.

The buildings of this ancient city formed a Sealing Array, suppressing a terrifying monster deep within the earth, and compared to that monster, the creatures sealed within these buildings aren't even considered minor threats.

Phew!

The Purgatory Demon Ape exhaled a hot blast of air, its gaze landing on those crushed bodies, creatures suppressed by a thread of World-Burning Celestial Fire power.

The purpose of keeping these creatures was simple—slay and absorb demonic energy.

The Yama Prison Demon Blade, upon reaching Tier Five, requires the slaying of over a hundred creatures of the same tier, absorbing resentment, hatred, and Power of Soul to coalesce the Shadow of Evil Ghosts for enhancement.

However, under normal circumstances, where would he find so many Tier Five creatures to kill?

Thus, the power on the side of the Divine Weapon remained stagnant ever since the Yama Prison Demon Blade broke through to Tier Five, until today, there was finally an opportunity to break through to Tier Five Peak.

Phew!

The Demon Soul standing behind the Purgatory Demon Ape transformed into blood light, merging into its body, the golden battle array beneath its feet vanishing, and its aura plummeted, followed by rapid shrinkage of its size.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hou appeared out of nowhere, wrapped in white bandages, black arcs of lightning jumping across his body surrounded by demonic energy.

Swoosh! Jiang Hou turned into a remnant shadow, shooting forward in an instant, arriving before a monster resembling a zombie, with a black blade light spanning ten meters in his hand.

Boom! The black blade light tore the earth, shattering the head of the Tier Five monster.

Immediately, a residue filled with hate and resentment appeared, entangled with the soul power dissipating upon the monster's death, transforming into surging black demonic energy flowing towards Jiang Hou.

Bang! The blade light swept horizontally, smashing the monster leaning against the stone wall along with the rocks.

On the ten-kilometer-long street, Jiang Hou transformed into a flickering black light, wielding the Yama Demon Blade, frantically reaping the death energy monsters one after another.

Surging black demonic energy converged, forming a black dragon behind him.

With an endless influx of dark demonic energy, spectral shadows of evil ghosts gathered within Jiang Hou's illusory hell, with his aura soaring at a shocking speed.

Roar Roar Roar!!

The spectral shadows of evil ghosts let out terrifying howls that shook consciousness and even soul, transforming into various fierce phenomena that charged at Jiang Hou's consciousness.

At the same time, with each demon shadow's gathering, Jiang Hou's Demon Essence surged over a hundred points, the upper limit increased, soon surpassing nine thousand, ten thousand...

By the time Jiang Hou slaughtered his way through the street, the demonic energy enveloping him almost covered a hundred meters, with a faint vision of hell's illusion manifesting in the darkness.

And by this time, Jiang Hou's aura had already surged to Tier Five Peak.

Within his illusory hell, the number of spectral shadows of evil ghosts had reached 248, each fierce spectral shadow of an evil ghost roaring and howling, bound by black chains.

Above these evil ghosts' heads, the originally few-lined spectral shadow of the Yama Emperor had become much clearer.

Wearing a black Emperor's Robe, standing in hell, with a face strikingly identical to Jiang Hou's, its expression ice-cold and indifferent, like an exalted deity.

At this moment, Jiang Hou's Demon Essence had reached 36,715, exceeding the Tier Five limit of 30,000.

But without the Yanyu Demon Blade Fragment, without the fusion of Divine Weapon Fragments of dark attribute, he couldn't break through to Tier Six, stuck at Tier Five Peak.

This is the Awakened's drawback.

Without matching resources, even if the current realm's limit is reached, breakthrough is impossible.

"These era legacies, each one incomplete, such a hassle!"

As he spoke, Jiang Hou turned to look at the middle of the street, where a corpse of an Ancient Fierce Beast over a hundred fifty meters in length, lying over tens of meters high like a small mountain.

But after a slight hesitation, Jiang Hou temporarily gave up the thought of devouring the fierce beast's flesh and blood.

Roar!

A brutal roar trembled the heavens and earth, scorching flames burned, the Purgatory Giant Ape towering eighty meters appeared once more, carrying a giant pillar as it rumbled toward the battlefield at the ancient city's end.

Watching the departing Purgatory Giant Ape, and the terrifying energy fluctuations at the city's end, Zong Zheng Nan Mo hesitated: "Brother Ye, should we still go in?"

"This is a forbidden zone of some ancient city, not a normal relic site, let's go."

This time the relic entrance opened, Jiang Ruochan and the others brought along Tier Four Zong Zheng Nan Mo, hoping to gain some fortune through the omens involving luck.

But now the situation has changed, the experienced Ao Ye decisively led the retreat.

......

At the edge of the ancient city's void, the white fireballs falling from the sky had become sparse, black tentacles sweeping across the area burning fiercely on their surface.

These white Celestial Flames possessed terrifying "stickiness," and although those four tentacles appeared unscathed on the surface, they were corroded every moment.

Yet, the body of the Tier Eight Evil God was too powerful, with Lei Chengxuan fully activating the Celestial Fire Supreme Treasure only slowly consuming a bit of its energy.

And in the battle up till now, the white sword light which had exploded hundreds of times was dimmer, its aura weaker compared to when they first entered.

But among the three, Jiang Ruochan's aura had instead become even stronger, her entire being exuding dazzling golden light like a sun across the sky, illuminating the world.

After enduring so long of attack and consumption, the aura on that Evil God had also weakened significantly.

At this moment, the void exploded, as the sword light was blasted open again by the Evil God's tendrils, causing Ye Hong, who was hurled a thousand meters away, to breathe heavily. "Director Jiang, are you still not acting?"

Boom!

A golden Dragon Spear phantom, two hundred meters long, swept across, entwined by the shadow of a golden Divine Dragon, directly shaking off the attacking tendrils of the Evil God.

Under the terrifying strike, the surrounding void twisted and trembled, with golden halos spreading in circles.

"Wait a little longer."

Jiang Ruochan stood tall in the sky, her black-blue long hair fluttering behind her, staring intently at the distant corpse mountain altar.

At this moment, the blood of the corpse beasts was almost drained, transforming into a strange blood-red altar, with strands of red blood light disappearing into the depths of the void above the altar.

Alright, since Jiang Ruochan said the time wasn't right, Ye Hong could only press forward against the Evil God.

Roar! At this moment, a deep, explosive roar resounded as a Purgatory Demon Ape, burning with dark red flames and towering over two hundred meters high with a demon soul behind it, came rushing.

Boom! As it arrived, the ground within hundreds of meters around the Purgatory Demon Ape collapsed and shattered, its massive body transforming into a fiery light shooting skyward.

Leaping over a thousand meters high, the Purgatory Demon Ape held a Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar with a twelve-meter diameter in its hand, which instantly doubled in length.

Boom!

Under the infusion of the Burning World Domain's power, the flame column, now three hundred meters long, blazed brightly, forming a thousand-meter-long pillar phantom, whistling past Jiang Ruochan.

With a full-force strike from the Purgatory Demon Ape, the flame pillar, carrying the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, smashed onto the sweeping black tendril.

Boom! A fiery halo in the air exploded, instantly spanning ten kilometers.

Simultaneously, a beam of fire shot out, crashing with a boom into ancient city ruins fifteen kilometers away, causing the earth to crumble and black stones to skyrocket.

Roar!

Inside a hundreds-meter-wide meteor crater, the Purgatory Demon Ape, bearing the flaming pillar, had its blood boiling, exhaling scorching breaths through its nostrils, its eyes serious.

Is this the power of Tier Eight? So strong!

Even severely injured, with weakened breath and relying only on a few sweeping tendrils, it was still something the Purgatory Demon Ape, at early-tier Seven, couldn't withstand head-on.

That strike felt not like hitting a tendril, but like being hit by a world head-on, unrivaled, unstoppable.

Too powerful. In the Purgatory Demon Ape's eyes gleamed a fervent will to fight.

Roar! A ferocious, explosive roar erupted as the Purgatory Demon Ape, carrying the flame pillar, shot out again, rumblingly crushing the earth as it charged toward the Evil God's battlefield.

A rare opportunity to confront a Tier Eight Legend Evil God, without worrying about danger with Jiang Ruochan here.

In just a few breaths, the Purgatory Demon Ape re-entered the battlefield, roaring as its huge body soared skyward again.

This time, within the Purgatory Demon Ape's body belonged to the Ninth Era humanoid form, a minimal amount of transparent Essence disappeared, merging into the red-black Demon Evil Power.

Boom!

The demon soul standing behind the Purgatory Demon Ape swelled to over two hundred twenty meters, emitting dazzling blood light, resembling a truly terrifying demon ape from ancient times.

Roar! The demon ape roared, under terrifying soundwaves, the air exploded in a hundreds-meter range ahead.

This assault, containing mind-consciousness shocking attacks, made Lei Chengxuan in the sky and Ye Hong in the distance change their expressions, feeling their consciousness buzz and their internal power boil.

The Soul-Destroying Roar of the Demon Ape, infused with the Ninth Era's power, was terrifyingly strong, even making the Evil God suddenly turn back, eyes flashing with a struggling light.

Yet immediately, the Evil God returned to normal, looking at the Purgatory Demon Ape with a terrifying killing intent.

"Die!"

The hoarse, chilling voice echoed throughout the void, its terrifying malice making several people's faces change, and the aura on Jiang Ruochan surged dramatically.

"Jiang Hou, dodge!"

Boom!

Behind Jiang Ruochan appeared the hundred-meter-tall Valkyrie phantom, her aura instantly surged several times, under the golden brilliance flashing, a thousand-meter-long Dragon Spear phantom descended.

Just as Jiang Ruochan moved, the void in front of the Purgatory Demon Ape twisted, a sky-covering black ghost claw stretched out, emanating a terrifying aura.

Boom! The Dragon Spear clashed with the Evil God's ghost claw, instantly unleashing true Tier Eight legend power.

The terrifying aftershock directly hurled the sword light formed by Ye Hong and the Purgatory Demon Ape, forming expanding rings of golden and black-hued halos, sweeping across heaven and earth.

At this moment, the void above the altar in front of the Evil God silently shattered, something seemed to be descending along with the red light.

Jiang Ruochan, always watching the altar's change, let out a long cry, "It's now, kill it with all your might."

Boom!

Inside Jiang Ruochan's body erupted a terrifying force, at the center of the golden radiance lighting up heaven and earth, a circle of black emerged like an eclipse.

"Kill!" Ye Hong roared, instantly the hundred-meter sword light surged, split into nine, transforming into nine dazzling sword lights slashing toward the Evil God.

Meanwhile, a white fire cloud in the sky suddenly collapsed, a wing-spread beast over a hundred meters descended, its belly extending a third claw, exuding a terrifying aura.

At this moment, everyone unleashed killing strikes.

Including the Purgatory Demon Ape, hurled several kilometers away, now stood on the earth, its arms propped up to the sky, carried a black volcano on its shoulders, its aura overwhelming.
