Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 748: The Man Who Slaughtered Millions (II)

Roar!

Locking eyes on the true demons in the distance, the Mountain Giant's petrified gaze burned with madness and bloodlust as it thundered forward in massive strides.

"You seek death!" With a deep growl, Kazan, a late-stage Ninth Demonic Mark warrior, expanded rapidly in size, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall, two-headed, six-armed monstrosity engulfed in surging black demonic qi.

Boom!

With a sweep of his battle sword, three demonic dragons, each spanning hundreds of meters, roared to life. They shot through the sky at supersonic speed, tearing the air apart and sending shockwaves rippling in all directions.

Roar!

With a thunderous bellow, the Mountain Giant gripped its stone axe with both hands and swung it in a precise, martial-arts-like motion. Its blade sliced cleanly through the oncoming dragons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three dragons exploded from the giant’s powerful strike, and the violent shockwaves sent the Mountain Giant staggering backward. Just as it fought to regain its balance, a battle sword sliced through the air.

Crack!

The dense domain enveloping the Mountain Giant was silently slashed apart by the battle sword.

Bang!

The Mountain Giant instinctively raised its stone axe to defend, managing to intercept the strike. Yet, the sheer force of the impact surged through its massive frame, sending it stumbling backward despite the successful block.

Roar!

Brushing off the attack, the giant then swung its stone axe at the true demon attempting to drive a sword through its head.

Boom!

The massive stone axe crashed into the ground, shattering the earth and carving a rift that stretched for kilometers. Violent energy erupted, hurling chunks of rock into the air as thick dust clouds billowed and obscured the battlefield.

Meanwhile, high above the battlefield, the other Ninth Demonic Mark true demon standing atop the mountain peak slowly revealed a look of horror.

In the distant sky, an endless surge of blood-red light poured forth, swallowing the heavens and earth as if heralding the arrival of hell itself. A terrifying figure stood within the infernal glow, radiating the overwhelming power of a being in the middle stage of the mythical level.

"A mythical-level alien is attacking! Retreat!"

The Purgatory Clan had wiped out countless alien civilizations, and the few alien gods that had managed to escape would occasionally launch surprise attacks on Purgatory strongholds whenever the opportunity arose. The true demons were well accustomed to such ambushes.

However, all the experience in the world was meaningless now. Just as Vala shouted, the blood-red light, which had been over a hundred kilometers away moments before, suddenly materialized in front of the stronghold, engulfing everything in its path.

In an instant, a savage, bone-chilling murderous aura swept over the true demons, freezing them in place. Visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood flooded their minds, causing them to twist their faces in sheer despair.

"You have a fast reaction, but it's useless," a deep voice rumbled. Before Kara could react, a ten-meter-tall figure appeared before him. In his horrified gaze, a massive clawed hand reached out and gripped his skull.

Black soul chains coiled around Chen Chu's arm, clanking as they slithered into Kava's body. Then, with a sharp pull, they ripped out a transparent, struggling phantom.

Bang!

As Chen Chu crushed Kava's soul, fragments of the demon's memories flickered through Chen Chu's mind. He muttered, "So the city of Demon King Moss is just over ten thousand kilometers away."

Based on the scattered information extracted from Kava’s soul, this vast forest, spanning over a hundred thousand kilometers, was called the Dark Forest. It was a land filled with dangerous creatures and forbidden zones.

Beyond it stood Moss Royal City, ruled by Demon King Moss Krator, who commanded hundreds of thousands of Purgatory True Demons and millions of Delra, the Black Elephant race.

The Purgatory Clan operated under a rigid hierarchy, blending nobility with a semi-slavery system. At the top stood the demon gods, ruling as emperors. Beneath them were peak great demon kings, who ruled as princes. Ordinary great demon kings served as dukes, while demon kings ranked below them as marquises.

Each demon king commanded their own vast territory, often stretching tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Within these domains, they wielded absolute authority over all resources and subordinate races under their rule.

Whenever a civilization war broke out, the demon gods would summon a number of demon kings to the front lines, along with their true demon legions and vassal armies, to join the fight.

As Chen Chu casually wiped out Kava, his apocalyptic domain spread outward. Under its influence, countless true demons and alien warriors perished without a sound, their existence erased by the death laws that filled the domain.

Even Kazan, who had been fighting the Mountain Giant, froze in despair, his body stiffening before he slowly collapsed.

Before Chen Chu, anything below the mythical level was no different from an ant. Whether it was a Ninth Heavenly Realm warrior or even one at the peak of the Ninth Realm, all were instantly annihilated.

The resentment radiating from the true demons and alien warriors as they perished intensified the apocalyptic domain's blood-colored glow, making it even more intense.

However, Chen Chu didn’t kill the Mountain Giant. Instead, he slowly appeared before it.

This was no ordinary creature. It was a human who had been transformed into a mindless, rampaging beast. Yet, this land was under the control of the Purgatory Clan. Why was there a human here? And how had they become a rampaging giant?

Roar!

Facing the blood-colored figure radiating a terrifying aura, the Mountain Giant let out a furious roar. Its head was nearly fused to its neck, and its shoulders and arms bulged with petrified muscle as it swung its massive battle axe through the air.

Just as the Mountain Giant took its attack stance, Chen Chu instantly appeared above its head, bringing his palm down in a crushing blow.

Boom!

The world seemed to turn upside down. The ground split apart as soil and rock erupted, forming a massive crater several kilometers wide. At the bottom lay the three-hundred-meter-tall Mountain Giant, its body covered in cracks, and its aura faint and flickering.

However, considering that they were both "humans," Chen Chu didn’t kill it. Instead, he hovered above, speaking slowly. "Big guy, why are you in the Purgatory Clan’s territory?"

Roar!

The only response Chen Chu received was an unconscious bellow.

Seeing this, Chen Chu cast a deep look at the giant, who resembled Xingtian[1] from myths and legends, then turned and left with his apocalyptic domain toward Moss Royal City in the distance.

After Chen Chu left, the giant slowly rose to its feet. Gray mist seeped from the cracks in its body, solidifying into stone as it began to repair itself. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Roar!

Standing before Kazan’s shriveled corpse, the giant reached out and grabbed the towering, hundred-meter-tall, two-headed, six-armed true form of the fallen demon. It opened its enormous jaws and sank its teeth into the body.

Crunch!

The force of the bite tore the true demon in half. Within moments, Kazan's corpse was completely consumed. The giant then turned to the next demon, its massive jaws biting down with violent force. The sound of crunching echoed through the air as half of its body was drenched in fresh blood.

As the giant consumed more and more high-level true demon flesh, its aura became increasingly savage. When it finally reached the warehouse at the foot of the mountain, where countless colossal beast corpses and stores of vital blood essence were piled, it let out a low growl of excitement.

Demon King Moss' city sat on a vast plain stretching over a hundred kilometers. Its architecture was massive and rugged, with towering black walls rising hundreds of meters high around its perimeter.

Huge military camps surrounded the city on all four sides, where demonized colossal beasts were raised and trained. Their thunderous roars shook the land, while waves of demonic qi surged into the sky.

At that moment, a golden crystal a thousand meters wide hovered above the city, casting a brilliant light that illuminated the entire landscape as if it were broad daylight.

Over a million aliens lived within the city, including not only the Black Elephant aliens under Demon King Moss, but also aliens from other Demon Kings' territories who came and went to conduct business.

From time to time, massive draconic colossal beasts roared through the skies, carrying true demons or powerful alien merchants. They soared overhead or descended from above, filling the city with a constant, otherworldly presence.

Despite the Purgatory Clan’s blood-soaked nature, daily life still had to go on for most true demons and alien races. As a result, manufacturing, industry, and commerce were all highly developed.

Whenever a Purgatory noble passed through the streets, clad in armor and surrounded by swirling demonic qi, nearby aliens would quickly step aside, lowering their heads in deference.

At the heart of the city, a massive arena that covered ten kilometers was alive with excitement. The stands were packed with Purgatory demons, their cheers echoing through the air. In the primary seats sat two formidable figures, each radiating the powerful aura of a demon king.

The arena had just concluded a brutal match. After a thirty-meter-long colossal beast finished devouring its fallen opponent and was led away, a lean Purgatory noble stepped onto the central platform.

"The next match features humans captured from the front lines, facing off against an Ironblood Warrior from the Krodo Tribe. The odds are ten to one, and the battle will only end when one side is completely annihilated."

As the noble's voice faded, the black iron gates on one side of the arena creaked open. More than fifty humans in worn armor and leather emerged, their faces pale and eyes filled with fear.

They gripped their weapons tightly, emanating auras ranging from the Fourth to Seventh Heavenly Realm. Though fear lingered in their expressions, their eyes burned with hatred as they glared at the surrounding Purgatory True Demons. When they saw the two demon kings, however, their faces filled with despair.

"So these are humans? They're so weak," one noble said.

Another responded, "How could such a frail race resist His Majesty the Demon God for over two hundred day-cycles?"

"I heard it's because of the terrain. The empire's frontlines against the humans didn't allow us to concentrate all our forces, which is why the humans lasted so long."
