"Multiple ultimate powers overlapping... No wonder his strength exceeds his realm by so much." Revafavari's gaze turned icy as it stared at the ferocious figure within Labio, halberd in hand, wreathed in blood light. A crushing aura spread outward.

An Fuqing lifted her head in puzzlement, staring up at the colossal star-like figure. "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Revafavari lowered its head slowly, its voice reverberating through time and space. "This Hell Apostle has mastered multiple forces, each pushed to the ultimate sequence, and he stacked them together. Most cultivators and transcendent beings only ever refine a single force to its peak. For instance, upon breaking through to the ancient titan level, one might forge a supreme principle from four top-level laws, or temper an unrivaled true form, or inherit an innate divine ability. Those who reached the true spirit level all cultivated one force to its extreme. Other laws, innate abilities, divine abilities, and secret arts only serve as a foundation to support that force.

"But in this Hell Apostle, I see a true form that is invincible among peers, a domineering principle of strength, another strength-type divine ability not inferior to that principle, and the ancient might of a dragon bloodline. Beyond that, there are weaker forces melded in as well. All of them tie back to strength. Interwoven, they push his raw power to its absolute limit, and grant him unrivaled dominion in his realm. Whether the late stage of the true spirit level or the semi-primordial level, as long as their power has not broken the boundary to the primordial level, none are his match. Even Hepot, the bone demon who has touched primordial power, whose power of thousands of bones stands close to the Hell Apostle's power, couldn't withstand even a single strike. Such a being, who cultivated multiple forces to the extreme with no weakness, is exceedingly rare in the infinite worlds."

Revafavari's tone carried a trace of gravity. Invincible at the beginning stage of the true spirit level... Such outrageous battle power meant that even if he weakened upon reaching the primordial level, his might would still be enough to contend against monarchs of the Third Primordial Heaven. If he survived, he was almost guaranteed to cross into the Fourth Heaven as a true emperor, and even had hope to reach the undying Seventh Heaven.

Such a man, if not strangled in the cradle, must never be provoked. Revafavari's eyes flickered with killing intent at the thought, but it soon suppressed the impulse, its gaze toward Labio dark and uncertain.

"So that's it. More than four ultimate powers at once, no wonder he's so strong!" An Fuqing gasped in awe. This explained why Chen Chu's strength only grew more fearsome with each advancement. His talent allowed him to hone every power gained at each breakthrough to its extreme, then amplify them in unison.

Revafavari then spoke slowly, with a tone of encouragement. "Little Qing[1], you need not belittle yourself. Your fused sword will is formidable. When you reach the ancient titan level, you will certainly forge a supreme principle. With the Primordial Abyssal Sword Dragon's power in your veins, and the sword diagram forged from your law-bound world, these three combined will multiply your strength a hundredfold in an instant. Beyond battle, your talent in comprehension after absorbing the Heavenly Purity Origin holds even greater potential. With my protection, reaching the primordial level is certain."

Of course, only to the primordial level. In the infinite worlds, primordial beings already stood as the supreme rulers of clusters of worlds, revered as creators of those realms, yet countless prodigies exhausted their entire foundation to reach the primordial level, never advancing a single step further across millions of years.

Thus, although Revafavari had confidence it could raise An Fuqing into a Lord of the Abyss, it couldn't predict how far she would go after that first breakthrough.

The differences between the First, Fourth, and Seventh Primordial Heavens were as vast as heaven and earth. To reach the end of the primordial level was to become a being that illuminated the myriad worlds.

An Fuqing bowed slightly. "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I will cultivate diligently."

The Abyssal Lord treated her well, and she showed deep respect in return. Perhaps it had other purposes in taking her as a disciple, but that mattered little. For now, she needed its support to break through to the primordial level. To the Human Federation of old, where the ancient titan level was once the peak, the primordial level had been an unimaginable height.

With her past talent, An Fuqing had believed she could reach the ancient titan level, but that her life would end at the true spirit level. To become a disciple of this Abyssal Lord was undoubtedly more beneficial than harmful. Moreover, her father, a Purgatory Demon, would also find the Supreme Abyss a more suitable place. With its power, he too could reach the true spirit level.

In the previous generation, Zuo Mo had been the Blue Planet's Child of Fate. His talent had surpassed even Qian Tian and others. Yet, due to Tyretis's temptation and the despair brought by the Primordial Purgatory Ancestor's presence, he faltered. His soul and true form split into three, wasting over a decade. Now, with the trinity reunited, and with three ancient relics within him each bearing principle power, Zuo Mo's might in the ancient titan level had become peerless.

As the two spoke, upheaval stirred once more in Labio. Amid the turbulent chaos left by that single devastating strike, surges of dark demonic qi erupted, along with roars filled with fury and murderous intent. The principle-imbued demonic qi swept across the heavens like a tide, repelling the surrounding turbulence and resonating with the dark-red powers in the world.

From the rolling demonic qi emerged fourteen massive, grotesque figures. Each Abyssal Great Demon, their true forms re-forged from principles, burned with flames of black and crimson origin, their auras several times stronger than before.

At the true spirit level, beings condensed of principles already possessed traces of undying qualities. Even though Chen Chu had shattered their true forms with one strike, he had only managed to wound them without the power of his Dark Star World-Ending Heavenly Dragon Form.

A forty-thousand-meter abyssal bone demon, towering like an ancient divine mountain, rumbled in a deep growl, "This Apostle is too strong. We must coordinate our attacks and defenses to stand a chance."

Another late-stage true-spirit-level demon snarled, "I refuse to believe his explosive state can outlast our origin!"

Chen Chu's terrifying might had nearly driven them to despair. However, as veterans of endless slaughters, having climbed step by step to the true spirit level, their wills were unyielding. Within moments they steadied themselves, and they saw Chen Chu's weakness.

At the beginning stage of the true spirit level, Chen Chu erupted with invincible power that crushed everything of the same realm. In this form, he was indeed formidable, yet the consumption was surely immense. As long as the Abyssal Demons burned their origin and worked together to withstand him, and they dragged out the battle until Chen Chu's strength was exhausted, there was hope to suppress him.

Retreat? Under the gaze of the Abyssal Lord, none of these demons dared to retreat without receiving orders. Besides, there was also the reward of the Primordial Heart. Whoever obtained it would have the chance to break the shackles of life and aspire to become an Abyssal Lord.

"My world-guarding divine ability can forcibly draw upon the power of a world and turn it into a pure defensive barrier. As long as heaven and earth exist, the world-guarding barrier will stand."

Another followed, "My Jiuyou True King's Decree, can enhance all divine abilities when fueled by origin, temporarily increasing their power sixteenfold."

A third roared, "And me! My Demon-Scaled Race was born gifted in defense. I have mastered the Zhongyuan principle, and fused it with forces from the infinite worlds to forge and strengthen my heavy armor."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heaven and earth shook as their combined might drew in power across ten million kilometers. Led by a twenty-three-thousand-meter Abyssal Demon in the form of a mountainous black tortoise, with four other defense-specialized demons supporting it, a massive black-scaled mountain spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers appeared, stretching to the edge of the heavens.

The moment this colossal mountain descended to cover all of the demons and the passage, an oppressive force capable of suppressing time and space spread outward. The violent currents surging across millions of kilometers suddenly dissipated, revealing shattered space that mended itself even as it continued to collapse, resembling a mirror riddled with countless black rifts.

At the same time, the remaining nine demons struck together. The brilliance of principle-level powers and abyssal divine abilities enveloped a million kilometers, plunging the world into darkness. The freshly mended heavens collapsed once more, laws unraveling.

"Ants trying to stop a chariot, overestimating yourselves." A deep, majestic voice thundered across time and space, followed by an explosion of an overwhelming aura.

Boom!

The heavens shook as halberd light stretched hundreds of thousands of kilometers, tearing apart the darkness. Wherever it passed, earth, water, fire, and wind repeated their cycle, all things returning to primal chaos.

Beneath the blood-red halberd, all of the abyssal great demons' attacks were shattered. With destructive might that could annihilate a Great Thousand World, the halberd swept down with speed surpassing time itself, striking the black-scaled mountain forged by five demons.

Bang!

It was unstoppable. The black-scaled mountain, covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers, shattered, and endless blood-red halberd light erupted, exploding in all directions.

"Look out!"

Terrified, furious screams echoed across the world as the five demons who formed the defense were struck head-on. Their true forms exploded once more, obliterated by the halberd's contained power. Six more demons were also blown apart by the force's shockwave.

Only the strongest three, including the abyssal bone demon, survived the blow, simply getting hurled back over hundreds of thousands of kilometers while spitting up blood. The heavens shook as the roar of destruction rolled endlessly.

In that same instant, Chen Chu's figure flickered, crossing three hundred thousand kilometers to appear above one of them. Before the demon could reforge its true form, Chen Chu's two massive palms reached out, grasping the region where principles were collapsing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tens of thousands of kilometers of void crumbled, space collapsed, and endless crimson flames converged.

"Save me!" The wretched scream reverberated through the world.

From Chen Chu's palms, a blood-red sun spanning ten thousand kilometers emerged, illuminating the heavens with infinite light and heat. At its core, a shattered true form twenty thousand meters tall writhed in agony, its body disintegrating beneath bolts of blood-colored lightning.

It wasn't only that demon. Tens of thousands of kilometers away, where Chen Chu had stood earlier, a vast sea of blood stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, roaring as it suppressed another demon's half-shattered form beneath its tides.

This was the very first Abyssal Demon that had descended. Under the crushing force of suppression and obliteration, its aura weakened with every moment.

"I do not believe your power can remain at its peak forever!"

Boom!

The void detonated, revealing a colossal crimson skeleton more than five hundred thousand meters tall, radiating a suffocating aura of destruction. It was the abyssal bone demon, its true form already tempered once by primordial qi, its body strengthened beyond measure. Struck down time after time by Chen Chu's halberd, it now burned with fury.

Its rage was not over its shattered body, but over the question: why?Why can this Apostle possess such overwhelming strength? How could he crush me, a being that has already brushed against the primordial level, while only at the beginning stage of the true spirit level? How could he beat me again and again?

"I refuse to accept this! Why?"

Had its millions of years of cultivation been in vain, as if wasted on a dog?

Boom!

The blood-red halberd swept across, domineering to the extreme. The million-meter abyssal demon sword shattered, along with the crimson rings circling its skeletal frame.

The instant the abyssal bone demon was destroyed once more, Chen Chu's halberd swept outward. Its light trembled with endless mystery.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six newly recondensed Abyssal Demons exploded instantly. The force permeated time and space, creating a grand vision like the creation of the world.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Kill!"

The roars of more than a dozen Abyssal Demons shook the heavens. Half of Labio trembled as the battlefield spread across tens of millions of kilometers. The aftershocks, infused with principle power, destroyed everything in their wake.

Yet none of the demons could withstand even a single strike from Chen Chu. To touch him was to die, to clash was to explode. Chen Chu alone suppressed more than a dozen Abyssal Demons, like an invincible god of war sweeping through all opposition. Such a display of world-shaking battle power caused Alvaron and the Abyssal Lord watching from afar to narrow their eyes.

Even other true spirits on different battlefields were shaken. Elemental ancient gods, the largest races' gods of war, Hell Apostles—all of them unconsciously slowed their hands and turned toward the horizon. Though distant and unable to see clearly, the Apostles could still sense what was happening through the oppressive pressure of the chaotic principles.
