Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 680 The Crimson Mother's Panic (Part 2)

"They're mother and child."

I learned from the memories of the Abyss Saint King that the Crimson Mother devoured star systems in some galaxies not under the control of the God Realm in an attempt to break the boundaries in order to strengthen herself and become stronger.

However, because she has no physical form and evolves through devouring, the stronger she becomes, the more unstable the Crimson Dimension becomes. Therefore, after becoming powerful enough, the Crimson Mother had to split off a portion of her body to form a dimension close to her own, attempting to devour other dimensions to strengthen herself, and then looking for an opportunity to absorb them back.

The Abyss Plane, now swallowed up by Chen Junting, was formed from forty percent of the energy that split off from the Crimson Domain back then, and the Abyss Saint King was born from the Crimson Mother. After that, he has been ordered to devour everything in his path.

Only now has the Abyss Saint King finally reached the end.

While learning about the relationship between the Abyss Saint and the Crimson Mother, Chen Junting also obtained a crucial piece of information: the connection between mother and son meant that if the Abyss Saint died, the Crimson Mother would immediately know the truth.

Realizing this, Chen Junting's expression immediately turned serious.

After collecting the sapling, he immediately vanished from the spot, guided by the power of fate, and began tracking the Crimson Dimension. Once they reacted, it would be a protracted chase.

Therefore, speed is essential!
We can't let the Crimson Realm slip away!

……

In the vast universe, within a particular star system, crimson seems to be the most dominant color. Looking out, it could even be described as boundless.

However, at present, this crimson light is directed only at one planet, or more precisely, a planet that is the source of life. At this moment, the entire sky above this planet has turned dark red, bringing a clear and intense sense of oppression to the planet's inhabitants.

The deep red light swirled like dark clouds high above the planet, and huge, deep red vortexes were rapidly forming and spreading across the sky.

When the dark red dimension twisted and turned, opening its mouth like a giant beast and slowly closing in on the planet, the planet, with no ability to resist, became the prey of the Crimson Dimension.

At this moment.

This dark red world is filled with coldness and loneliness, yet it also seems to harbor countless greedy auras.

Within the space, a colossal yet extremely magnificent dark red temple stood. Upon closer inspection, it gave the illusion that it stretched as far as the eye could see and that an abyss was also staring at you.

Inside the innermost part of the temple, on a high throne, stood a woman who appeared to be only about 1.8 meters tall, exuding elegance.

She wore a gorgeous dark red dress, with her long, dark red hair cascading down her back. Her fair skin had an extremely radiant glow, and her whole body exuded a wondrous aura.

Although she has an exceptionally beautiful face and an appearance similar to that of a human, the deep red magic markings on each side of her cheeks reveal that this woman is not human.

The strange magical patterns composed of curves and sharp triangles emitted a soft halo, not only like a living being, but also complementing her deep, ruby-like eyes that seemed to see the boundless universe.

Her hands had exceptionally long, slender fingers, white as spring onions, with delicate, long nails over a foot long, dark red, and radiating a faint, iridescent glow. This being was none other than the Crimson Mother.

Her dark red dress accentuated her fair skin, and she wore a deep red crown that looked like it was carved from gemstones. On each side of her body, six dark red rays of light appeared and disappeared, each taking the shape of a different object.

These are the twelve artifacts of the Crimson Mother.

If she were to fuse these twelve divine artifacts together, they would become two super-divine artifacts. In this respect alone, it is something that even the divine realm of normal forces would find difficult to possess.

The Crimson Mother is a four-dimensional being that evolves by devouring. Although her four-dimensional space has no physical body and is formed by energy, it is very unstable compared to dimensions with physical bodies.

but!

Because of the Crimson Realm's unique nature, it is a special domain created by the energy shifts between life and death. It is both immortal and eternally unborn. As a whole, the Crimson Realm can be said to be the Crimson Mother, or the Crimson Mother can be said to be the divine will of the entire plane.

Therefore, the Crimson Mother can completely control the Crimson Domain, which is equivalent to having an entire four-dimensional space as her backing. She can use this four-dimensional space as her foundation, which has allowed her to reach the level of a half-step God-King.

If we add two more super artifacts...

Her strength became even more terrifying.

Just then, the Crimson Mother suddenly felt a pang of fear and realized that her connection to the Abyss had been severed. This sudden turn of events caused her expression to change drastically!

With her mind racing, she made a gesture with her right hand, and the six divine artifacts on her right side merged into one, transforming into a deep red scepter with a blood-red gem the size of a human head at the top and a faint halo flowing inside. This scepter fell into the hands of the Crimson Mother.

Just as she was about to investigate, a deep purple halo suddenly flickered faintly in the center of the crimson temple, immediately attracting the attention of the Crimson Mother.

"what?"

With a startled cry, the Crimson Mother made her move.

The crimson scepter pointed towards the purple stream of energy.

Instantly, a faint red halo emanated from the surface of the scepter, enveloping the illusory purple light and shadow in the distance.

The purple light and shadow then stabilized, vaguely transforming into a humanoid shape. This caused the Crimson Mother to stand up abruptly from her seat, her eyes instantly becoming exceptionally sharp.

"Is it really you!?"

Anger, shock, astonishment...

Her voice was filled with a variety of complex emotions.

"what is going on!?"

The purple figure's voice was very faint, and it was the last remaining consciousness of the remnant soul after the death of the Abyss Saint King, who was sending a message through his connection with the Crimson Mother.

"Mother."

However, the Crimson Mother wasn't concerned with titles at this moment. She pressed on, "I'm asking you, what's going on!?"

However, the Abyss Saint King's next words made the Crimson Mother feel as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss, and even made her scalp tingle!
"We were devoured by a god-king."

A simple sentence struck Crimson Mother like a thunderbolt!

"What exactly did you do? We, who are known for our devouring abilities, were devoured, and we even provoked a being at the level of a God-King. Do you know that being hunted by a God-King can not only cause me heavy losses, but also force me to flee to several star systems. From now on, I will have to pray that he doesn't find me, lest I be annihilated, body and soul!"

The consciousness of the Abyss Saint King fell silent, remaining silent for a long while.

Only when the remaining consciousness gradually began to glow with a pale blue light, indicating that it was beginning to dissipate, did the Abyss Saint King reveal the truth of the matter with resentment and anger.

"You've offended the Douluo God Realm!?"

She gasped, all her emotions vanishing, and the Crimson Mother's eyes turned icy cold. She never imagined the Abyss would be so reckless!

What is the Douluo God Realm?!

They are absolutely a top-tier power in the universe. Compared to such a behemoth, both the Crimson Realm and the Abyss Plane are mere minions; they could be crushed with the slightest touch.

The result was that his own son dared not provoke someone he didn't even dare to challenge, and ultimately paid the price.

the most important is,

Next, it will most likely be her turn to conquer the Crimson Realm!

escape! Must escape!
If we don't escape, we can only wait to die!
"No, it's not."

The last remaining consciousness of the Abyss Saint King hurriedly said, "I have not offended the Douluo God Realm; he came to us himself..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Crimson Mother waved her hand and scattered him.

The truth is no longer important. What matters is that there is an 80% chance that the Crimson Domain will be hunted down by that God King from the Douluo God Realm. From now on, she can only hide and run away!

With this in mind, the Crimson Mother immediately took control of the entire Crimson Domain and fled, even traversing between several star systems in an irregular, unpredictable arc-shaped motion, determined to shake off the Douluo God Realm's pursuit in this way!
However, under the pull of fate, the Crimson Realm's escape was futile. Furthermore, when Chen Junting realized that the Crimson Realm's movements were becoming increasingly chaotic, he directly used the power of fate and the power of time to glimpse the future, and, provided he could catch up, the Crimson Realm's path.

So Chen Junting stopped following the traction track and instead took a shortcut, heading in a straight line to a star system where life was extremely barren, but two stars existed at the same time.

Just as he had predicted, when Chen Junting arrived at this place, the Crimson Realm was not far away.

With a wave of his hand, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation instantly enveloped the starry sky, sealing off the surroundings. Once the Crimson Domain entered this sealed-off starry sky, they would have no chance of escape.

Meanwhile, she was about to enter this star system, intending to use the star's energy to remain in this vicinity for thousands or tens of thousands of years, until the Douluo God Realm forgot about her Crimson Domain...

suddenly!

An even stronger feeling of palpitations suddenly struck!

But this time, intuition came too late.

Just as the Crimson Mother was about to retreat, a terrifying storm suddenly erupted in this void, causing energy chaos and void tremors. The surrounding area was now sealed off, and they were completely unable to leave!

This sudden change allowed the Crimson Mother to quickly discover with her divine sense that besides their Crimson Domain, there was another figure in this starry sky, a god whose strength was even greater than hers!

She knew perfectly well that this was the God King of the Douluo God Realm!

Unlike the Abyss Saint King, who, upon learning that this God King was after her Crimson Domain and intended to annex it, launched an attack without hesitation.

There's only one God King right now! No matter how strong the Douluo God Realm is, their Crimson Domain has seventy-two super-god level powerhouses. Could they all be killed by a single God King?
As for the subsequent pursuit by the Douluo God Realm…

We'll have to talk about that later!

I would never sit idly by and wait for my doom.

Thinking of this, what was initially a feeling of self-satisfaction gradually gave the Crimson Mother confidence. She was well aware of the difference in quality between the god-level experts of her Crimson Domain and the divine artifacts of the God Realm. But no one could overcome the sheer number of god-level experts!

They should be able to overwhelm him... right?

There's no room for compromise now that things have come to this point.

Facing Chen Junting, who stood on the void, the confident Crimson Mother cautiously refrained from approaching, instead planning to exhaust his divine power by overwhelming him with firepower.

And so, ripples spread across the surface of the Crimson Realm.

Huge clusters of dark red energy began to surge wildly, and vortexes began to converge on each other.

When they came into contact with each other, they instantly formed a larger vortex. The oppressive force in the void also began to become even more terrifying and powerful. In less than three breaths, the number of vortices was reduced to nine, but the remaining nine vortices had expanded to a volume tenfold.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

Three enormous buzzing vibrations resounded in the Crimson Realm.

In the next instant, enormous blood-red beams of light shot out, and the surrounding starry sky seemed to be shrouded in dark red, as if the end of the world had arrived.

A series of crimson beams of light shot straight toward Chen Junting!

Rampant, destructive, annihilated!

Where the crimson beam of light passed, the void trembled!

Seeing this, Chen Junting didn't make any unnecessary movements. With just a light slash, a large gash was cut in the starry sky, swallowing up the incoming crimson beam of light.

Given his mastery of spatial power, an attack of this magnitude was simply insufficient to cause any disturbance in his stable void.

Then, Chen Junting's hand trembled again, and with this subtle movement, void portals, each about the thickness of a pillar of crimson light, emerged beside the cut. The next second…

"Boom boom boom——"

The engulfed crimson pillar of light was immediately returned to the Crimson Mother by Chen Junting in the exact same way and with the same power.

As the beams of light collided, energy surged, and nearby meteorites and asteroids were torn to shreds by the aftershocks. Even the surrounding planets were inevitably affected by the barrage of fire, leaving hideous scars on their surfaces.

Fortunately, the Crimson Mother chose this lifeless star system to escape. Otherwise, countless lives would have been lost in the aftermath of the battle.

Seeing that such an attack not only failed to gain any advantage over Chen Junting, but also consumed very little of his divine power, the Crimson Mother immediately abandoned her plan for a war of attrition.

From now on, we have no choice but to fight head-on and risk everything!

"By my order: Kill!"

In an instant, the entire Crimson Realm was thrown into turmoil, with all races and powerful beings pouring out at the call of the Crimson Mother!

What one could see was a vast and mighty procession, with an imposing and unstoppable momentum!
