National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 918 The Transcendent Battle Beyond Chaos

Seeing the six Abyss Demons, carrying a torrent of blood essence, about to escape, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Sky-Splitting God King and the Eternal Ancestor.

If they are allowed to return to the abyss safely with such vast resources, the abyss's upward dimensional ascension will be difficult to stop.

"Chase!"

With a roar, the God King of Rending Heaven unleashed a burst of light from the projection of the Heaven-Opening Axe, transforming into a golden streak that pierced through the breach in the barrier and chased after the demons.

The Eternal Ancestor remained silent, his body radiating eternal divine light, treading the river of time at an astounding speed.

Beyond the barrier, on the mainland of the Chaos God Continent, there are several transcendent beings: the Father of the Sand Sea, whose body is formed from endless quicksand and exudes the aura of the ancient earth; the Ancestor of Burning Flame, whose entire body is composed of the rules of incineration and resembles a blazing chaotic sun; and the Ancestor of Ice Demon, who can freeze everything and even concepts...

The group exchanged glances, each seeing the resolute determination in the other's eyes.

Although they are bound by the rules of the Divine Continent and are basically unable to leave the Chaotic Divine Continent, as long as they can intercept the opponent in the chaotic void outside the Divine Continent, then there is not much of a problem.

The Abyss Demons have already threatened the balance of the entire universe and have even raised their swords against their own Chaos God Continent. Such actions have led to a situation where there is no end to the conflict.

It should be understood that once the Abyss successfully ascends to a higher dimension, even the worst outcome will be that it will become a semi-higher-dimensional being on par with the Chaos God Continent, and more than half of the authority of the Chaos God Continent will be taken away from it.

Even worse, the entire Abyss could be elevated to a higher dimension, completely venturing into that higher realm. However, the consequences would inevitably fall upon the myriad stars and the Chaos Divine Continent, whose dimensional fortunes would not be fully recovered for several or even a dozen epochs to come.

Neither of these two points is something that these native beings of the Chaos God Continent would like to see. Therefore, the attitudes of the several native transcendent beings of the God Continent are very clear at this moment.

"You have invaded my divine land and slaughtered billions. How dare you come and go as you please!"

The Father of the Sand Sea's voice was deep and resonant, like the friction of billions of grains of sand. A massive Sand Spirit Seal appeared above his head, drawing upon boundless chaotic energy to transform into a gigantic hand that covered the starry sky, slapping towards the fleeing demonic shadow.

"Stay!"

The Burning Flame Ancestor was the most violent of all. His entire "body" transformed into a blazing sun that stretched across the chaotic void. The terrifying heat, enough to burn the heavens and boil the seas, instantly spread out. Wherever it passed, even the chaotic energy was ignited, forming a boundless sea of ​​fire that blocked the demons' path.

The Ice Demon Ancestor was the most direct. Its body, constructed of eternal ice, emanated an absolute zero chill. A chaotic artifact resembling an ice crystal heart—the [Frozen Heart]—appeared on its chest. The extreme chill instantly spread, and without a sound, a large area of ​​chaotic void in front of it was completely frozen, even the flow of rules became stagnant, attempting to slow down the demon race's escape speed.

The six Abyss Demons were surprised that these native Transcendent beings dared to chase them out of the Divine Continent and act so decisively and ruthlessly. The leading Transcendent Mind-Stealing Demon snorted coldly and had no choice but to stop his escape and turn around to deal with them.

"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish. Perfect, the essence of a transcendent being will be greatly replenished!"

In an instant, more than ten transcendent beings collided violently in the depths of the void, far from any star field and only raging chaotic currents.
"boom!!!"

The great battle erupted instantly, far surpassing any previous event in the Heavenly Ape Star Realm.

The God King of Rending Heaven wielded the Heaven-Opening Axe, each strike seemingly capable of reshaping the heavens and earth. The dazzling axe light tore through the chaos, striking directly at the core of the demon god.

The Eternal Ancestor activated the [Eternal Divine Furnace]. What spewed from the furnace mouth was no longer divine light, but a materialized blade of time, cutting through the past and future, and eroding the immortal demonic soul of the demon god.

The Father of the Sand Sea's [Eye of the Sand Spirit Vortex] stirred up boundless chaotic sand, each grain as heavy as a mountain, converging into a deathly sandstorm that buried everything.

The [Great Sun Blazing Sun] activated by the Burning Flame Ancestor burned wildly, purifying the demonic energy. At its core, a rune flickered, which was the original manifestation of the chaotic wonder [Great Sun Blazing Sun], releasing the ultimate light and heat that could incinerate all things.

The Ice Demon Ancestor's [Frozen Heart] beats slowly, and with each pulsation, it plunges thousands of light-years of chaotic void into absolute stillness, with icy blue chills specifically designed to freeze the actions and rules governing the demon god.

The Abyss Demons also employed every means at their disposal.

Although the projection of the [Hyperdimensional World] was breached, it did not completely dissipate. Now, under the combined efforts of the six demon gods, it condensed again, transforming into a distorted dimensional barrier, attempting to deflect and weaken attacks from all sides.

A phantom image of a chaotic artifact, shaped like a giant anchor and entwined with countless chains, was none other than the [Dimensional Anchor] chaotic artifact that had disappeared from the Origin Star.

It was summoned by a demon god, anchoring the chaos in all directions and stabilizing the void that was constantly collapsing due to the great battle. At the same time, the chains traversed dimensions like venomous snakes, coiling around beings such as the Sky-Splitting God King.

Another demon god shook an ancient bell engraved with countless chaotic runes—the Chaos Bell. The bell rang, but it was not a sound; rather, it was a chaotic wave that directly affected the soul and the rules, causing the sandstorm of the Father of the Sand Sea to go out of control, causing the flames of the Burning Flame Ancestor to swirl inward, and even interfering with the Eternal Ancestor's control over time.

More than fifteen transcendent beings, wielding over ten legendary chaotic artifacts powerful enough to suppress half an era, engaged in a fierce battle deep within this chaotic void sea.

Boom! Crack!

Various indescribable roars mingled together, the laws were collapsing, the rules were wailing, energy storms swept everything, and brilliant divine light and profound demonic energy annihilated each other, only to be reborn again and again.

This already extremely unstable chaotic void sea region simply could not withstand the aftershocks of so many transcendent beings and chaotic wonders clashing together.

The void shattered layer by layer like fragile glass, turning into the most primordial nothingness. Large swathes of chaotic energy were directly evaporated, revealing the colorful yet extremely dangerous underlying turbulent flow of rules.

At the center of the battlefield, an ever-expanding "zone of annihilation" seemed to have formed. Any being below the Transcendent level, even an eleventh-order myth, would be instantly decomposed into primordial particles and annihilated, soul and spirit, once caught in the aftershocks of this annihilation.

This was a true war of annihilation. Although its scope was not as wide as that of the Star Realm, its level of destruction was much deeper, directly affecting the fundamental rules of the heavens and the starry sea.

With a single axe stroke, the God-King of Rending Heaven cleaved through a chaotic wave of energy, and with a swift backhand, severed a dimensional chain that had attempted to ambush the Eternal Ancestor. Several deep, bone-revealing demonic marks had appeared on his massive divine body, wounds inflicted by the [Dimensional Anchor].

The eternal divine light of the Eternal Ancestor also dimmed somewhat, as maintaining the [Eternal Divine Furnace] against the interference of the [Chaos Bell] and the [Hyperdimensional World] for a long time had consumed a great deal of energy.

The Sand Sea Father's quicksand body was largely burned by the demonic flames, the Burning Flame Ancestor's blazing sun light was also greatly reduced in power under the distortion of the [Hyperdimensional World], and the Ice Demon Ancestor's icy domain was suppressed by several abyssal chaotic artifacts working together.

The Abyss Demons were not faring much better. One demon god was struck by the aftershocks of the Heaven-Opening Axe, and his demon body was almost cleaved in two. Another demon god's body was frozen by the Heart of Ice, making him slow to move and nearly killed by the divine seal of the Father of the Sand Sea.

The battle reached a fierce stalemate, with both sides gritting their teeth and holding on, waiting to see who would reveal a weakness first, or... whose reserves would be exhausted first.

Just as the battle deep within the chaotic void sea reached its climax, with both transcendent beings suffering serious injuries and struggling to hold on with the help of chaotic artifacts and their undying will, a sudden change occurred.

"Buzz—!!" A will far more magnificent and ancient than the [Hyperdimensional World] suddenly descended upon this chaotic battlefield.

In the chaotic currents at the edge of the battlefield, the phantom of an ancient city, whose size could not be described, slowly emerged.

It is entirely constructed of some indescribable chaotic divine stone, and its walls are engraved with traces of the rise and fall of countless eras, exuding an aura of transcendence that is impervious to all laws and eternally free.

If Song Chi were here, he would surely feel a sense of familiarity.

Because this is the mysterious and unpredictable "City of Transcendence," which exists outside the myriad star seas and the chaotic divine continent.

What made the hearts of the Sky-Splitting God King and the others sink even deeper was that two figures, exuding an aura no weaker than any of the Transcendent beings present, stepped out from the city gate of the [City of Transcendence].

Their figures were blurry, seemingly existing between reality and illusion, and their auras were perfectly integrated with the [City of Transcendence]. They were clearly two twelfth-order transcendent beings belonging to the City of Transcendence.

The moment these two transcendent beings appeared, they didn't hesitate at all. Their gazes instantly locked onto the Ice Demon Ancestor, who was fully activating the [Heart of Ice] to restrain the Abyss Demon Clan with extreme cold.

Clearly, the Abyss Demons and the City of Transcendence had long been secretly colluding, and this was their trump card.

"town!"

"seal up!"

The two beings from the Transcendent City attacked simultaneously. One unleashed the immense power of the Transcendent City itself, transforming it into an invisible shackle of rules that was instantly imposed on the Ice Demon Ancestor. The other summoned an ancient stone mirror, whose light caused the chill emanating from the Frozen Heart to become disordered and reversed.

"Not good!" For the first time, the Ice Demon Ancestor's face, constructed of eternal ice, revealed a look of shock and anger.

It was already greatly depleted from fighting multiple abyssal chaotic artifacts at the same time, and now it was attacked by two beings of the same level relying on the chaotic artifact [City of Transcendence] with thunderous force. Under attack from both sides, it was immediately plunged into a desperate situation.

"Click..."

Cracks began to appear on the eternal ice on the surface of the Ice Demon Ancestor's body, and the beating of the [Frozen Heart] became rapid and chaotic.

Despite its frantic burning of its own essence, pushing the power of the [Frozen Heart] to its limit, and the icy blue chill attempting to freeze everything, its defenses crumbled rapidly like a lone boat in a storm under the combined suppression of the three transcendent beings (one demon god and two transcendent city beings), as well as the [Dimensional Anchor] and the [Transcendent City] itself.

"Hehehe... Ice Demon, I'll take your source of ice!" Upon seeing this, the abyss demon god wielding the [Dimensional Anchor] grinned and seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The tip of the anchor flashed with a ghostly light that shattered dimensions, piercing straight into the core of the Ice Demon Ancestor.

Just as it was about to be completely extinguished under the siege, an unprecedented madness and determination flashed in the Ice Demon Ancestor's icy eyes.

"You want to seize my essence? Then let's... perish together!"

With this soul-shaking shriek, the Ice Demon Ancestor no longer tried to defend or break free. Instead, he poured all his remaining power, along with his immortal soul and transcendent status, into the [Frozen Heart] in his chest.

"Frozen Soul Domain—Open!"

[Frozen Heart] suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant chaotic light, and a freezing power that surpassed extreme cold and was specifically designed to target the soul and the origin of life spread out with a roar.

The Transcendent Demon God who was closest to the Ice Demon Ancestor, wielding the [Dimensional Anchor], and the two Transcendent Beings from the City of Transcendence, never expected the Ice Demon Ancestor to be so resolute, nor did they expect that the [Frozen Heart] would conceal such a forbidden ability that could lead to mutual destruction.

Their souls, thoughts, and even the will to drive the chaotic artifacts were forcibly frozen at this moment. Although this process may be extremely brief, it is a fatal flaw in a battle at the level of transcendent beings.

In that brief moment of freezing, the Ice Demon Ancestor's cracked, icy body exploded.

boom! ! !
The power of a 12th-tier transcendent being's self-destruction far exceeds the imagination of any mythical being.

That was not a simple release of energy, but the complete annihilation and explosion of the rules it had cultivated throughout its life, the origin it had condensed, and the status it had embodied in an instant.

An indescribable destructive energy storm, centered on the original location of the Ice Demon Ancestor, spread wildly in a spherical shape, and under this terrifying energy storm, everything was reduced to nothingness.

The three transcendent beings who were the first to suffer the most damage were those whose souls were temporarily frozen.

The Abyss Demon God closest to the center of the self-destruction wielded the [Dimensional Anchor], which, while capable of anchoring dimensions and traversing the void, was not a Chaos artifact adept at defense.

With its body unconscious and unable to activate itself, its demonic form was almost completely exposed to the core of this destructive storm.

"No—!!!" The other demons who had reacted roared in shock and anger, but it was too late to come to the rescue.

A devastating storm swept through.

When the devastating light, powerful enough to annihilate stars and reshape the rules, dimmed slightly, revealing its inner workings, all existence suffocated.

The abyss demon god who held the [Dimensional Anchor] had vanished from its majestic body, leaving behind only a collapsing and annihilating void, and the [Dimensional Anchor], a chaotic artifact with dim light, constant wailing, and minute cracks in its body, floating in the void.

Its life force has completely vanished without a trace.

A twelfth-tier transcendent demon god has fallen!
The two transcendent cities that are a little further away are much luckier.

At the critical moment, the phantom of the [City of Transcendence] unleashed a thick chaotic light barrier, enveloping them. Even so, the chaotic light barrier was shattered by the power of the self-destruction, and the auras of the two transcendent beings rapidly weakened, clearly suffering unimaginable damage and no longer having the strength to fight for a short time.

Even the Sky-Splitting God King, the Eternal Ancestor, the Father of the Sand Sea, the Burning Flame Ancestor, and the remaining five Abyss Demon Gods in other areas of the battlefield were all violently blown away by the terrifying aftershocks of the self-destruction. Their divine bodies trembled, their auras became disordered, and they all suffered some kind of injury.

The chaotic void sea fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

Only the lingering chill and destructive aura of the Ice Demon Ancestor after its self-destruction, along with the two unclaimed floating [Frozen Heart] and [Dimensional Anchor], silently testified to the tragedy and desperation of that moment.

The Ice Demon Ancestor, at the cost of his own complete annihilation, forcibly replaced a Transcendent Abyss Demon God and severely injured two Transcendent City beings of the same level.
