Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 194: Bloodline Power, Demon Chen Chu (II)

Despite his injuries, Li Hao's vitality burned like flames, and the king-like power within him surged even more. Faint golden scales started to emerge on his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle in the depths of the valley grew even more frantic. The Blood Armored Beast King wanted to charge over and kill Chen Chu, but Li Hao continued to recklessly intercept it despite his injuries.

The scene resembled the confrontation with the Golden-Backed Rampage Ape from before. Even though the Beast King overwhelmed Li Hao, it was still momentarily held back.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Three level 4 beasts emitted angry roars. Colorful and black energy exploding from their massive bodies, surrounding them with poisonous gas and raging winds as they lunged toward Chen Chu, aiming to kill the one who had slain their kind.

However...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Chu shot out, becoming a black and red streak unleashing sonic booms. With a sweep of the halberd, one beast’s chest collapsed, and its massive body flew backward.

Then, with a backswing, the heavy Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd erupted into a supersonic attack, tearing the air and leaving behind a flat black plane.

Instantly, the bodies of the two beasts that were rushing in from behind were torn apart, and then black and red light rose from below.

Boom!

The neck of the fourth beast exploded, its head flying sideways as its neck sprayed a rain of blood dozens of meters high.

In the blink of an eye, the four level 4 beasts had been forcefully slaughtered, a display of Chen Chu’s unmatched dominance.

As he swept through the level 4 beasts, the heads of the level 3 beasts attacking Xia Youhui and the others exploded one after another.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With pinpoint accuracy, five level 3 beasts were shot in the head, while six bloody holes were blasted into the bodies of the other four.

Along with the ones Liu Feng and his companions had already slain, everyone had suddenly brought the number of living beasts down to four injured ones: three level 3 and one level 4.

Roar!

Two level 3 beasts emitted angry roars, then swiftly turned around and dashed toward the distant mountainside at astonishing speed.

There, Luo Fei pulled out a new magazine and loaded it into her sniper cannon with a click.

"Bai Mu, Liu Feng, intercept them. I'll take care of the king beast."

Once he saw that the situation here was under control, Chen Chu turned and charged further into the valley at lightning speed.

If I don't go, Li Hao might die.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

In the depths of the valley, the Beast King became more violent, roaring madly as it knocked away the two-legged creature that was trying to hinder its steps time and time again.

Li Hao's battle armor was shattered, his sturdy body covered in wounds, making him look like broken porcelain. Blood was flowing so profusely that it was hard to distinguish between his true power and vitality. In just a few minutes of fighting, he was already severely injured, and he had lost track of where his weapon had flown off to.

At this moment, however, his aura was more intense than ever, as he intercepted the Beast King over and over again in a brutal frenzy.

Suddenly, the Beast King stopped in its tracks, looking at the black and red figure that had appeared beside Li Hao with a fixed stare. At close range, it could detect the strong sense of danger emanating from Chen Chu.

Li Hao slowly turned his head to look at Chen Chu as well, his voice hoarse. "I told you, I could hold it back."

Chen Chu nodded slowly. "You held it back. Leave the rest to me."

"Okay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, an endless amount of blood sprayed out of Li Hao’s body as he shrank back down to 2.2 meters, and then collapsed backward on the ground with a thud. Every part of him was pale without a trace of blood, and his aura was extremely weak, as if he would potentially die at any moment.

Seeing Li Hao's miserable state, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel moved. He hadn't expected him to fight to this extent.

Or perhaps Li Hao had overestimated himself, thinking that activating the Bull Demon Battle Body and tapping into his king-level bloodline would be enough to hold off the Beast King. Otherwise, if he had been a bit more cautious and simply waited for Chen Chu to arrive, he wouldn't have been injured so severely.

Upon realizing the Beast King’s lethal strength, Li Hao had instantly entered a state of full exertion, desperately trying to hold it back. If he had failed in that, and it had broken through, then Xia Youhui and the others, who were only at the Third Heavenly Realm, would have been killed in a single breath.

Should that have happened, he wouldn't have been able to face Chen Chu.

Of course, Chen Chu didn't know any of this, but seeing Li Hao's pitiful state, his gaze turned colder. After knowing this guy for so long, Chen Chu considered him a friend, with nothing but sympathy for his persistent and desperate desire to improve himself..

Boom!

In an instant, a furious aura exploded from Chen Chu's body. As his vitality and true power were ignited, endless power was released, causing the air around him to distort and the earth beneath him to tremble.

The Elephant Fury Rune activated, and under the explosive release of ten times his normal strength, the ground around him kept trembling and sinking. Even the stones in the distance were vibrating under the invisible force.

Li Hao was only able to look at Chen Chu with disbelief. He felt as if the world was turning upside down, with a disconcerting sensation of the sky collapsing and the earth sinking. Luo Fei, who had just killed the remaining four level 3 beasts and blasted the head of the beginning stage level 4 beast, also looked over.

Chen Chu's aura was overwhelming; under the endless burning vitality, a red flame surged over a meter high, making him look like a demon from hell.

Boom!

With a sonic boom, Chen Chu disappeared from his original position in an instant.

The Beast King, who had been dozens of meters away, let out a miserable cry as its massive body was violently thrown and slammed into the mountain wall a hundred meters back.

Boom!

Half of the mountainside collapsed, scattering countless rocks, filling the air with dust, and creating an echoing sound of a rockslide.

As he watched the Beast King be blasted away by that strike, even with his body engulfed in flames of blood-colored fire, Li Meng couldn't help but gulp nervously.

"Damn, Chen Chu is too powerful."

Liu Feng's expression was complicated. "More than powerful, he's a downright freak."

Earlier, the Beast King had easily overpowered Li Hao, making him spew blood from just one blow. Even though it was only at the beginning stage of level 5, its combat prowess was at least in the late stage, thanks to its king-level bloodline.

In front of Chen Chu’s unleashed state, however, it was nothing.

Roar!

Just then, in the distance, the dust dispersed, revealing the Beast King standing back up and emitting a fierce aura. Its chest was covered in broken scales and exploded flesh, exposing its white and gleaming ribs. One could even vaguely see the squirming internal organs inside.

Despite such severe injuries, the Beast King's aura became even more frenzied. Under the threat of death, the power of its king-level bloodline was fully activated, even materializing to form a layer of golden-red flames on its body. The atmosphere within ten meters of it was almost solidified and cracked with multiple rifts, a frightening sight to behold.

When the power reached its peak, the Beast King let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. The tangible sound waves made Luo Fei and the others grimace in pain.

Boom!

The earth shattered as the Beast King charged toward Chen Chu at supersonic speed. Countless black rifts surrounded it, as its presence continued to solidify and shatter the atmosphere.

The Beast King's aura was terrifying, but the aura emanating from Chen Chu was even more frightening. He let out a resounding roar akin to the cries of a dragon and an elephant, and the world seemed to change in an instant.

Boom!

Two beams of light surpassing the speed of sound intersected, instantly causing the earth to collapse. A dazzling black and red shockwave erupted, sending rolling clouds of dust billowing out for over a hundred meters.

Then, the valley suddenly fell silent.

Apart from the countless rocks falling to the ground and the crackling sounds that lingered after the shockwave’s explosion, there was no sound of battle as expected. Even the Beast King's brutal roar couldn’t be heard. Everything was eerily quiet, with an intangible and heavy atmosphere permeating the air; Xia Youhui and the others behind him didn’t even dare to breathe.

They didn’t know how much time passed, but eventually, as the dust slowly dissipated, the center of the battle was revealed.

In a twenty-meter-diameter crater, the Blood Armored Beast King stood silently. Its fierce mouth was open wide as sharp claws clutched its chest, where a two-meter diameter bloody hole pierced all the way through to its back. Hot blood gushed out, pooling in the deep pit below to form a red pond.

At the edge of the deep pit behind the Beast King, Chen Chu stood tall in black and red battle armor, holding his halberd as an intangible sense of terror distorted the air around him.
