Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

Chapter 470: Chapter 234: God Slayer Darren Callum, Global Shock, The Return of the Demon King

Under the full-force strike of two beings equivalent to the peak of the Seventh Tier, the suburban area was directly blown into a crater over 40 meters in diameter.

Dirt within a hundred meters around the pit was blasted away, leaving sharp cracks everywhere; trees were snapped, and roads crumbled.

This is the destructive power of a Seventh Layer High-Rank cultivator, akin to a rapidly-moving personal missile launcher, with those of the Eighth and Ninth Heavens being even more terrifying.

Not to mention those king-level beings who are comparable to deities.

Merely the arrival of a soul avatar, possessing an Early Sixth Heaven Evil God Sect Cultist, had forced Jack Clark to bring out all his strength.

And today’s battle had caught everyone offguard.

Whether it was Demon King Ciautorus, Blood God Acunus, or the Federal Military, even Jack Clark himself.

After slaying the ‘eye’ that Demon Cultist, Jack’s intention was to see if he could find any trace of Ciautorus.

But unexpectedly, his opponent harbored the intent to kill him.

Sensing that he was alone and emitting a subtle aura, he was lured all the way to Mason City.

According to the ‘information’ from Blood God Acunus, Jack’s cultivation realm was pegged at the Early Sixth Heaven, with combat power at the stronger end of the early Seventh Layer.

Confident he could finish a ‘small fry’ of such strength in an instant, or a few seconds, Ciautorus believed the battle would be a quick resolution.

Not to mention his usual combat power reaching the mid-stage of the seventh realm, the Dark Demon Eye alone, which consumes Divine Soul power to directly attack the soul, could suppress an ordinary cultivator at the Early Seventh Layer.

The reason for luring Jack to Mason City before killing him was naturally to shake off the pursuit of Human Experts that would follow.

It was well aware of its predicament, knowing that once its whereabouts were revealed, it would be besieged by Human Experts, and in such a scenario, a city with complex terrain was naturally the best cover.

For a king-level being like it, as long as it escaped visual lock-on, changing its identity and aura would make it impossible to be found in a city with a population of over a million.

That’s also why Jack, upon encountering it in the city center, even with its threats, kept a distance of a hundred meters, daring not let it out of his sight.

As for the ordinary people who died along the way, Jack could only attribute it to bad luck.

Facing an existence like Ciautorus, even he couldn’t attend to those ordinary people, only trying to restrain himself until they were out of the city. Unfortunately, as the two reached the city’s edge, Blood God Acunus suddenly appeared drawing the Eighth Layer Expert away, and Ciautorus finally couldn’t hold back and made its move.

If not for Jack’s possession of the Blade of Void Cutting Rune and his terrifyingly strong soul, that strike from the Dark Demon Eye would have either killed him or left him gravely injured.

The subsequent battle, naturally, left little to be discussed, with Ciautorus, having misjudged Jack’s strength, eventually dying from exhaustion.

That’s right, exhaustion. After releasing the remnants of its Divine Soul power in one strike, Ciautorus’ will collapsed, and the body of the possessed Demon Cultist shattered.

From their first encounter in the city center to the ensuing cross-city chase to the city’s edge, and until the end of the battle, the whole sequence lasted no more than four minutes.

And the thought of unleashing all one’s power in an instant and entering Divine Might Emperor Dragon Form to obliterate an opponent is something only a child would conceive.

High-Ranking Powerhouses beginning a battle with their most powerful moves is tantamount to seeking death, because if a Limit Breakthrough fails to kill the opponent, all that awaits is death.

Ciautorus is a prime example of this.

Upon discovering Jack’s high-level combat strength at such a young age, coupled with a soul ten times more potent than that of an average Sixth Heaven cultivator, it became overwhelmed with the urge to kill him.

The urge was so fervent that even as the soul avatar disintegrated, it was bent on taking Jack down with it.

It even entered a state of Demon King’s realm of thought possession from the get-go to ensure a quick and decisive battle, with an all-or-nothing stance. The outcome is self-explanatory.

Due to the Limit Breakthrough, upon Jack revealing his final form, Ciautorus was unable to escape, and its final burst of resistance was the last of its defiance as a demon king.

If Jack had entered the Divine Might Emperor Dragon Form from the start, displaying an aura comparable to the pinnacle of the Seventh Layer of Heaven, Ciautorus would have turned tail and fled, using a Blood-Burning Secret Skill if necessary, and never reappeared as long as Jack stayed close to Mathilda

Ward.

Just like that, the demon king died?

Looking at the over 2-meter-taIl figure in the distance, which was dried up and cracked even without a sign of life, still standing erect with a sword, Jack’s eyes revealed a faint hint of doubt.

At this moment, Jack’s face was also pale, his breath weak, and the golden flame on his body had vanished.

Maintaining the Divine Might Emperor Dragon Form for just a minute, he felt as exhausted as if he had fought for ten days and nights, though this fatigue stemmed from the spiritual level.

With his physical strength at the time, simply burning Blood Qi could sustain him for over half an hour, but True Strength infused with the Power of Will could not.

No wonder the attribute page had a special note that the Divine Might Emperor Dragon Form consumed too much of the current willpower and was to be used with caution.

Jack estimated he could sustain the Divine Might Emperor Dragon Form for a maximum of three minutes before needing to stop; beyond five minutes, the Power of Will would deplete, causing significant damage to the Spiritual Will.

This was a final resort, meant to decide the outcome or to escape.

Compared to the burst of Limit Divine Might, the Tyrant Elephant and Emperor Dragon Forms could be sustained for longer, but neither stage of transformation could suppress Ciautorus.

Ahead of Jack and the Demon King avatar’s pursuit, over seventy kilometers away, a middle-aged man with tiger-striped markings on his face maintained an oppressive demeanor, unhurried and dispassionate..
