Chapter 772: Chen Chu's Death, Humanity Shaken (I)

The power of will was condensed from a cultivator's soul, will, mind, and their perception of the world. At their peak, a formidable expert could even shake the heavens and earth solely with their battle will.

The Sky-Suppressing War King Hong Zhantian's Heaven-Suppressing Fist Will was domineering and unmatched. Once infused with the power of laws, his fist will pierced the heavens, enabling him to counterattack against a great demon king while at the peak of the king level.

Chen Chu's battle will, however, was rather special. It had originated from the countless mutated beasts he had slaughtered under the Blood Moon. Amid the endless killing, his halberd art had reached its peak, and it was then that he first touched upon this profound realm.

Later, mistaking it for an Invincible Battle Will, he had walked the path of invincibility, sweeping through those of the same level, and condensing an unshakable belief in his own invincibility.

Thus, his battle will embodied both slaughter and invincibility. The more enemies he slew, the stronger his battle will became. Every time he defeated an opponent of a higher major realm, his belief in his invincibility grew even more formidable.

Under such mutual reinforcement, Chen Chu’s battle will had become astonishingly powerful; no weaker than that of the seasoned kings, though its presence was normally masked by his Blood Sea Purgatory Domain.

Now, with his desperate battle will unleashed, Chen Chu’s battered true form seemed to reverse the flow of time, erupting with immense power.

Boom!

Chen Chu towered a hundred meters tall amid a sea of blood-colored light, resembling a demon god of hell. His battle halberd swept out, soaring into the heavens and raising a storm of blood-red light that condensed into a halberd light a thousand meters long.

The spatial turbulence stirred up by the Silver Time Butterfly’s devouring pull instantly collapsed under the pure, unparalleled force.

Hum!

The Time Butterfly cried out in anger. Although its innate abilities and control over time had been sealed, it remained a titan level creature, still possessing a formidable true form and immense strength.

Poof!

Two silver forelegs, each a thousand meters long and slender like spears, shot out. The very void compressed into substance from their force, surging forth with silver shockwaves.

Boom!

The blood-colored halberd light was overpowering and indomitable, instantly blasting apart the Time Butterfly’s forelegs, and the tremendous shockwave sent it recoiling backward.

In that same instant, Chen Chu’s feet shattered the void beneath him. In a flash, he turned into a streak of red light, slicing through the raging currents to reappear before the Time Butterfly.

Raising his halberd high, Chen Chu struck downward with the force to split mountains. The halberd light surged, expanding into a blood-colored halberd blade two thousand meters long.

It was a scene reminiscent of world creation, as the invisible, tearing force shook space-time itself. The sheer sharpness emanating from it sent a chill racing up the Time Butterfly’s body.

The Time Butterfly instinctively folded its wings in front of its body. Their silver scales shone brilliantly, forming a hundred-meter-thick energy shield that appeared like a silver metallic sphere.

Boom!

A dazzling halo of silver and red exploded when the blood-colored halberd blade, powerful enough to cleave open heaven and earth, made contact. The shockwave stirred the surrounding space-time turbulence across a hundred kilometers.

The savage sharpness instantly tore the silver butterfly apart. Its scales shattered like crumbling wood, and two massive rifts ripped through its body, nearly severing it in two.

Hum!

The Time Butterfly let out a miserable wail of agony, unleashing all of the power within its body. A brilliant silver light erupted outward, swelling like a tidal wave.

Bang!

The force of the pure energy explosion sent Chen Chu flying dozens of kilometers away. The invisible Absolute Barrier around him shuddered violently, with bursts of light flaring outward.

The true forms of butterfly-type creatures were inherently fragile. Even at the middle stage of the titan level, this one's toughness was comparable only to that of a beginning-stage titan-level armored colossal beast.

Before Chen Chu, whose battle will magnified his physical strength to the point of surpassing even his previous peak, the Time Butterfly simply had no chance. In just a brief exchange, it was severely wounded.

After blasting Chen Chu away, the tattered Time Butterfly’s wings trembled as it turned into a streak of silver light, shooting into the distance and plunging into the chaotic currents of space-time.

Bang!

The turbulence roared. In the blink of an eye, the Time Butterfly appeared hundreds of kilometers away, its figure vanishing into the multicolored, flowing depths of the space-time storm. Even with its abilities and laws sealed, the Time Butterfly’s speed remained frighteningly fast.

Bang!

The moment it fled, the void beneath Chen Chu's feet exploded, and he too transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, hurtling forward at blinding speed.

Though both his divine law and divine soul powers had been exhausted, making it impossible to wield the power of laws, Chen Chu’s three divine abilities of strength, defense, and speed remained unaffected.

Boom!

Chen Chu tore through the chaotic space-time currents like a demon god bent on destroying the world. In the blink of an eye, he appeared above the Time Butterfly, his halberd light flaring fiercely.

Hum!

Below, the Time Butterfly roared in rage and fear. It abruptly lifted its head and opened its mouth wide.

The soundwave it unleashed was like a tangible flood. In an instant, it engulfed Chen Chu, and the massive shockwave slammed against the Absolute Barrier surrounding him with a deafening roar.

Chen Chu stood firm amid the wild explosion, gripping his halberd. A dominantly supreme power erupted from him, and the surrounding blood-red light shimmered, transforming into a world of apocalyptic blood seas.

The divine ability Vacuum Supremacy gathered all of Chen Chu’s strength into a single strike. Space-time around him trembled violently, and the invisible aura of destruction spreading outward made even the Time Butterfly feel a surge of terror.

Boom!

The blood sea world exploded, and the Time Butterfly let out a mournful cry.

The annihilating force of the halberd strike crushed its wings into pieces. Its flesh and blood blasted apart, scattering amid the shockwaves and filling the surroundings with a dense and scorching stench. The time-based creature’s aura instantly weakened.

Normally, a middle-stage titan that mastered the power of time could easily rival a peak titan. Even with Chen Chu’s full explosive strength, he would have, at best, fought it to a draw.

Originally, Chen Chu’s plan had been to lure it out and then summon the Dragon Emperor, using overwhelming force to tear it apart and devour it.

While the Space-Time Summoning Secret Art had been sealed, the suppression of the Inherited Battle Order from the ancient human race still caused the Time Butterfly’s strength to plummet. Now, Chen Chu could crush it with just the power of his main body alone.

Hum!

Gravely wounded and knowing escape was impossible, the titan's bloodthirst was triggered, and it let out a savage roar. Its forelegs had regenerated by now, and six massive silver legs, thick as mountain pillars, churned the space-time turbulence as they crashed down onto Chen Chu.

Boom!

The halberd in Chen Chu’s hand erupted with halberd light as it swept in all directions. In an instant, a circular ring of red light, a thousand meters high, exploded outward, shredding everything in its path.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sharpness, infused with the force of world creation, ground the Time Butterfly’s enormous legs into pieces. Then, the expanding light ring swelled to five thousand meters, detonating with a deafening blast.

The violent shockwave swept across dozens of kilometers, and the fragmented, razor-sharp halberd light ripped through the void, leaving massive gashes across the butterfly’s body.

Amid the explosive shockwave, Chen Chu stepped forward, instantly appearing above the Time Butterfly’s head. His two-hundred-meter-long halberd compressed endless blood-colored light, exuding an unimaginably heavy aura.

Bang!

The Time Butterfly’s head collapsed under Chen Chu’s full force strike, blood and bodily fluids splattering in all directions and releasing a thick, choking stench.

However, titan-level creatures had long fused their souls with their colossal beast bodies. With their formidable life force, simply smashing the head was far from enough to kill them.

Unable to unleash the power of laws to extinguish the enemy’s soul and will, Chen Chu could only rely on pure physical might to obliterate its body, destroying everything.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Time Butterfly’s true body continued to shatter. Every swing of the heavy, peerlessly sharp halberd tore wounds hundreds to thousands of meters long into its flesh.

The brutal battle dragged on for nearly half an hour before it finally began to subside.

In the raging space-time currents, enormous fragments of the silver corpse floated, spreading across dozens of kilometers. The broken silver butterfly wings shimmered faintly under the turbulent wash.

Amid the colossal beast’s remains, Chen Chu, a hundred meters tall, advanced with his halberd. His long black hair, trailing dozens of meters behind him, fluttered despite the absence of wind. The dragon horns on his head stood proudly, exuding a murderous aura.

At the same time, the domain centered around Chen Chu spread across a thirty-kilometer radius, enveloping the colossal beast remains and preventing them from being swept away by the space-time currents.

Yet, Chen Chu had no time to collect them. His gaze turned coldly toward the distance, where a massive white colossal dragon, stretching three thousand meters in length, was emerging.

It was none other than the Time Dragon that had dragged Deorus away during Chen Chu's battle against the two demon gods.

The Time Dragon let out a low rumble. Unknown being, the great Kurapavida is not your enemy. I even lent you assistance previously.

Chen Chu nodded slightly. His voice, imbued with his will, shook the surrounding space-time. "If we are not enemies, then why have you appeared now?"

The Time Dragon rumbled in reply. The great Kurapavida was wounded severely in helping you. Now, I need the crystal core of this Silver Time Butterfly to heal.

As it spoke, the Time Dragon’s gaze fell toward a spot in the nearby chaotic currents.

There, nestled within the Time Butterfly’s bloody flesh, was a silver crystal the size of a water vat, radiating a faint aura of time.

At the same time, the white colossal dragon slightly lifted its left wing, revealing a massive wound over three hundred meters long. Its torn flesh was entwined with black principle power at its edges.

Chen Chu immediately refused. "No. I need that crystal core as well."

If the Time Dragon merely wanted some of the butterfly’s flesh, Chen Chu might have considered it, since it had helped once before.

However, he didn’t yet know whether the Time Butterfly’s remains could be used to temper his essence or comprehend time runes. There was no way he could give up the core crystal, the most essential part.

The Time Dragon’s pupils contracted slightly, and a dangerous aura flickered in its eyes.

Now that Chen Chu had lost the ability to summon that colossal beast, it possessed a clear advantage with its strength. Particularly since Chen Chu was now extremely weakened, barely holding on through the force of his extraordinary battle will.

Yet when the Time Dragon’s gaze swept past the golden Inherited Battle Order hovering beside Chen Chu, its eyes immediately revealed deep apprehension.

That battle order contained principle power so vast that it surpassed even ancient titans. It could seal away all abilities and the power of laws of any living being.

If that human used the battle order to seal it, it might not necessarily win with only its colossal beast body. If the seal turned out to be permanent...
