Chapter 865: Hellfire Reappears (1/2)

In the eyes of anyone else, those who’d reached empyrean realm were great powerhouses they couldn’t begin to dream of defying. But to chaos realm demon gods, everything below their realm was piddling insects. Empyrean realm masters of combat arts were just slightly bulkier insects.

That was why no one had taken Lu Yun seriously. Tushan, the one they dreaded, had fallen into a deep sleep. However, this insect of a human had just managed to beat back a connate great god!

Shame begot fury. Dusk Snake snarled and lunged at Lu Yun, raising his hand and attacking with a palm strike. Its violent strength threw all celestial soldiers within a five thousand kilometers radius off their feet, while Bai Ze and Xiangliu watched in horror.

“Dusk Snake, you bastard! Are you trying to destroy this place?!” It took their combined efforts as chaos realm experts to offset Dusk Snake’s terrifying might—this display of absolute power was free of any impurities or weaknesses. Dusk Snake had unleashed his full strength in a fit of fury.

“Destroy this place? No, the Bell of Chaos will grant me power to rival His Majesty. Then I’ll be able to keep this place safe all by myself!”

Bam!

His palm strike was about to land when a sudden explosion shattered the defensive barrier jointly created by Bai Ze and Xiangliu. Powerful shockwaves ran in all directions and tore through everything, shredding lesser soldiers in the vicinity into bloody mist.

Boom!

Dusk Snake’s giant form was hurtled into a star, while Lu Yun remained standing in space, unmoving.

The world’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys unleashed their concerted might while the connate power of the five elements created a perfect cycle within him. Such was the power of a body of heaven and earth.

Lu Yun might not be Luo Houluo’s match since the latter was among the most powerful chaos realm demon gods, but Dusk Snake… He was only in the initial chaos realm, far from being in the same league as powerhouses like Luo Houluo.

With the power of his replica’s body unleashed, Lu Yun also employed his three connate peerless treasures—the Cosmic Sea, Cosmic Eyes, and Cosmic Skycarver. A run-of-the-mill initial chaos realm demon god wasn’t his match at all.

“Impossible!” Dusk Snake scrambled up from the star he’d knocked into, his eyes brimming with shock. Just now, he’d felt an overwhelming surge of strength from the human before him, one that far exceeded his own.

The turn of events caught the others off guard as well.

Earlier, the effort of knocking Dusk Snake backward a step had forced Lu Yun to take three steps in order to steady himself, but now, he’d managed to throw the demon god tens of thousands of kilometers away in a head-on clash! How could an empyrean realm human be this powerful?

Swoosh!

Lu Yun took flight and dove at Dusk Snake.

“I will destroy the human race for this offense!!” screamed Dusk Snake in return, his body transforming from a reflection of the viewer to a giant, pitch-black snake that ran tens of millions of kilometers long, dwarfing even the star behind him. That was his true form, a connate demon god born into the world!

“Then you give me no choice but to kill you!” Lu Yun’s eyes glinted with murderous intent. Since arriving in the great wilderness, he’d never felt such a strong urge to kill someone until now.
