Chapter 998: Chapter 998
Lu Chenzhou was now in a disaster world where earth fire and feng shui surged, and he wielded the long spear with reckless abandon, killing all around him.
The Demon Lord had a universe inside his abdomen, a space of his own that could obliterate all things. It was only by relying on his immortal body that Lu Chenzhou dared to venture here.
Otherwise, he would end up like Long Brother, reduced to ashes.
He had always kept his immortal body a secret, just to make the Demon Lord lower his guard.
Otherwise, how could the Demon Lord have possibly swallowed him?
The sky held four suns, in yellow, crimson, white, and blue, three of them shining, one dim.
These represented the four divine statuses of earth fire and feng shui disasters.
The Demon Lord sold a flaw and was struck by Lu Chenzhou, breaking one of his divine statuses, leaving only three.
Lu Chenzhou could clearly feel that the Demon Lord’s aura was weaker than before.
Divine statuses contain divine power, which is the source of divine strength.
The Demon Lord’s current power was only three-quarters of before, making him even less of a match.
Under Lu Chenzhou’s frenzied attack with the Martial God Spear, the disaster world began to show cracks.
"Get out for me!" The Demon Lord controlled his body, trying to expel Lu Chenzhou.
But Lu Chenzhou’s spear pierced the earth, anchoring him like a parasite.
The Demon Lord panicked; even as a demigod, he couldn’t use axe techniques against Lu Chenzhou inside his own body.
He could only continuously drain divine power to form the power of four disasters within to obliterate Lu Chenzhou.
He slapped his abdomen, overcome with pain, rolling in the starry sky, with the Death Battle Divine Domain shaking endlessly.
Da Xia’s upper echelon spectating the battle felt their emotions were on a roller coaster.
A moment ago, they were worried that Lu Chenzhou would be swallowed by the Demon Lord, turned to ashes, just like Long Brother.
But the next second, the Demon Lord’s surface grew a hundred-colored divine lotus, clutched his belly, howling in agony, with spear tips constantly emerging from his surface, making it painful to watch.
"Marvelous, truly marvelous, this way, even if the Demon Lord’s axe technique surpasses the ordinary and reaches saintly levels, he can’t use it," Kunxu laughed.
"Indeed, even if his axe technique is strong, he can’t chop himself," Mr. Gui also smiled.
"That’s why you shouldn’t randomly eat things... It’s a lesson even children understand, but a demigod doesn’t," Dragon King remarked sarcastically.
They all knew Lu Chenzhou had an immortal body, so they were not worried at all about his safety.
On the other side, the Evil Gods of Stars were as gloomy as water.
"As expected, Lu Chenzhou has truly stepped into immortality."
"The Demon Lord is doomed."
"Even the Holy Lord arriving now is too late."
"I don’t understand, when did he cross the body tribulation? Why did we not perceive it?"
The Evil Gods discussed.
Suddenly, the creature resembling a strange fish, known as the Devouring Star Demon Fish, seemed to remember something.
"There is a place, though within the Great Universe, isolated from conventional spacetime, which might have allowed him to undergo tribulation without us knowing."
The Witch Master seemed enlightened too, murmuring, "A black hole, he underwent tribulation inside a black hole."
"Yes, I was born within a black hole, knowing some secrets," the Devouring Star Demon Fish said.
"A black hole? It’s a forbidden zone in spacetime formed by the collapse of stars after the Heaven and Earth Creation in the Great Universe. Even Great Powers enter it at the peril of death... If we count by time, Lu Chenzhou should have entered a black hole before the Great Power, during those years he was missing. How did he survive?"
The Blood God frowned in contemplation.
A black hole is the most peculiar celestial body.
It is the end state of a star, yet contains the secrets of the universe’s origins, even True Gods have not fully understood it.
"These aren’t important anymore. An immortal being is destined to hold an undefeated position. Either it will reboot, and if the reboot fails..."
The Witch shook his head, unwilling to think further.
So-called rebooting, in the words of mortals, means "formatting."
Everything will instantly sink into oblivion, ceasing to exist, as the Great Universe returns to a chaotic state.
The Daoist Lord will also be affected, yet can preserve life.
The Witch is the strongest divine being of the earth fire feng shui Dao, closest to a perfect form.
He is confident in reconstructing order in chaos.
In fact, in the Witch’s homeland, the Land of the Stars, earth fire feng shui represents chaos, it is the world itself.
Before his rise, he was as dazzling as Lu Chenzhou, because earth fire feng shui Dao was the toughest in his homeland.
It’s a pity, however, that there are differences in the Great Universe, the strongest Dao of the Stars is not suitable in this Great Universe.
Here, it is the Yin Yang and Five Elements, complex and mysterious rules of metal, wood, water, earth, fire forming chaos.
Thus the Witch’s power is greatly suppressed.
After the Divine War, by devouring many divine beings in the Divine Court to merge Dao, he gradually supplemented these rules, yet missed one crucial one.
That is the Creation Rule of the Golden Crow Emperor.
If he could devour it, he could ascend to a higher realm, replace the Great Cosmic Will, and rise to the Supreme Realm.
The Golden Crow Emperor realized his plot, directly perishing with the Dao Palace, completely sealing off the path to Divine Enthronement of the Creation Dao.
This led to the Witch being forever unable to merge out the World Dao.
Why does he want to accept Lu Chenzhou as a Divine Son? It is because he values Lu Chenzhou’s World Dao.
Therefore, he always regarded Lu Chenzhou as the number one adversary, giving him special attention.
He is closest to the Supreme Realm of the World Dao, aware of its potency.
In the Dao Palace, the figure of the Holy Lord appeared, showing an excited expression.
"This day has finally arrived... my Extreme Poison Divine Throne!"
The great serpent, stretching for countless miles, smashed the decayed corpse of a bald black-feathered monstrous bird before the Dao Palace.
"Jiu Ming, you didn’t expect this, did you? I have still come to the Dao Palace, while you’re no more than bones."
The Holy Lord’s smile was chilling. His first great enemy in the divine war was Jiu Ming, the True God wielding brutal poison from the Divine Court.
The serpent’s mouth split open, its venomous fangs gleaming with a cold light. The monstrous bird’s divine corpse was swallowed into its belly, bulging and moving through its serpent form.
The Holy Lord easily broke the restrictions of the Dao Palace without a master, divine power spreading out to refine it.
An invisible wave pervaded, seemingly resisting the Holy Lord’s refinement.
The Holy Lord understood this was the silent resistance of the Great Cosmic Will.
The Supreme Heavenly Dao, as the Great Cosmic Will, could not directly interfere with the operations of all things, so the Holy Lord paid no mind.
Amid the refining, the Holy Lord looked toward the starry sky of the Xia Realm, then furrowed his brows with a grim expression.
"Lu Chenzhou has already achieved the Immortal Body?"
Then how can I descend? Going down would be pointless. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire.net
Things having come to this, he had to brace himself to continue the divine enthronement.
Once he became the master of the Dao Palace, he couldn’t kill Lu Chenzhou, but neither could Lu Chenzhou kill him, so there was no need for excessive fear.
Rumble! In the starry sky, Lu Chenzhou was rampaging within the Demon Lord’s body.
Crack—accompanied by a breaking sound, the second Divine Rank representing the Power of Earth Disaster shattered.
The Demon Lord’s expression contorted in pain, growling, "Lu Chenzhou, if you don’t come out, I’ll self-detonate and drag you down with me."
Lu Chenzhou chuckled, "By all means, try it, and see if you can kill an immortal."
He continued his onslaught, treating the Demon Lord’s interior as a training ground to hone various techniques.
His spear skills became increasingly transcendental, with one hundred and eight great Daos not being his limit.
After employing "All Laws Unite" once, Lu Chenzhou gained some understanding of other great Daos.
These insights stayed within his heart, continuously contemplated, integrating more great Daos into the "Martial God Spear."
Unbeknownst to him, three years passed.
With a casual thrust, Lu Chenzhou formed the "Hundred Tribulations Lotus" with one hundred and eighty petals of divine lotus.
The power was far greater than before, worthy of being called a top-level great divine power.
Crack—with a breaking sound, another Divine Rank of the Demon Lord shattered, leaving only the last Water Disaster Divine Status.
Summoning a god was easy, sending one away was hard. Despite the Demon Lord’s countless divine skills, none could manifest, as Lu Chenzhou grew ever stronger.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, the Demon Lord said, "I lost, but the great God of Heavenly Calamity cannot be slain by mere mortals."
The World of Calamity collapsed with a roar; Lu Chenzhou attempted to intervene with the Great Dream Divine Power but failed.
With the Demon Lord’s strength, committing suicide was still within reach.
The world split apart, disintegrating, with the Power of Four Calamities rolling forth, destroying everything in its path.
Even the Death Battle Divine Domain formed by rules was shattered.
No matter how great Lu Chenzhou’s defense, he was annihilated, leaving not even a trace.
The starry sky trembled, as the Demon Lord imploded like a supernova, divine remains collapsing into a four-colored vortex.
The shockwave radiated across nearly half a galaxy over the following month, creating a void devoid of matter.
The Demon Lord ended with suicide.
Amid the void, Lu Chenzhou’s body, formed of dust like a quantum structure, flickered unpredictably.
He exhaled deeply, finally toppling the first great mountain that weighed upon his head.
Ever since learning of the sealed demigods, everyone’s hearts were shrouded in a cloud of despair.
Each person moved quickly, chased by invisible pressure.
In this context, the Dragon King, Kunxu, the senior brother, and he—four Great Powers emerged in succession.
Sword Demon, Wan Yan, Hei Zhou, and other Third Step powerhouses broke through limits to challenge demigods.
Now, a Chapter had finally been closed.
Before True Gods descend, Tianxia should experience a relatively long period of stability.
During this time, everyone can recuperate, advancing the third phase of the Supreme Martial Realm plan.
"Just one more great mountain remains; compared to that, the Demon Lord is but a hill to Kunlun Mountain and not worth mentioning."
Lu Chenzhou looked over the grand Dao, seeing faintly with his realm a series of Divine Kingdoms rising like hot air balloons in the Nine Heavens.
The most magnificent being the Divine Kingdom with a pure white tower soaring high.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked to the highest point therein, where it was atop the grand Dao.
In a gray mist-enshrouded Dao Palace, a black serpent coiled around the grand Dao, meeting his gaze with a cold golden vertical pupil.
Lu Chenzhou beckoned upward with a finger, smiling as he vanished into the starry sky.
"Outrageous! To dare provoke a god, utterly arrogant! Lu Chenzhou, you already tread the path to death!"
The Holy Lord’s fury echoed within the Dao Palace, shaking heaven and earth.
"You’ve worked hard, Alliance Hierarch," the Yaochi Immortal earnestly said to the returning Lu Chenzhou.
It’s no exaggeration to say, ever since Lu Chenzhou reached the pinnacle of civilization, he’s been bridging waters and paving roads, pioneering the Dao.
The hardships within, as outsiders, they could barely comprehend a fraction.
Countless brushes with life and death resulted in today’s glory.
Without great fortune, great willpower, and great talent, one would have long perished.
