Chapter 382 - 383: The Might of a Single Strike, Heaven and Earth Changed!
"You forced this upon me!"
The Red-horned Demon Lord’s voice was filled with hatred and madness, echoing across the battlefield, making the air itself tremble.
Under the immense infusion of demonic qi recklessly transmitted by the other four Totem Tier Three Demon Lords.
His body swelled violently as if it might explode at any moment!
However, in contrast, his terrifying aura surged upward like a volcanic eruption!
His power seemed to instantaneously cross a critical point, reaching a whole new level!
Totem Fourth Tier!
To the Totem Level, each tier advancement brings an earth-shaking change in power.
Between Totem Tier Three and Four is the fundamental divide between Low-tier and Mid-tier Totems!
At this moment, although the Red-horned Demon Lord was enduring the tremendous pain of his body almost being torn asunder, his blood-red eyes gleamed with near-frenzied excitement and murderous intent.
He felt this was a completely different level of power, capable of crushing everything before!
In the face of this power, how could this human possibly withstand it?
With Tier Three Totem strength, this Monarch Level human was already defying the heavens.
Could there be another trump card for a Monarch Level being that could further enhance his Beastbond strength?
Impossible!
"Human! Face your death!"
The Red-horned Demon Lord locked onto Aster Grant, his voice distorted by the surge in power.
"You are indeed strong, beyond reason! But you should not have come to obstruct my clan’s army!"
"All the secrets within you, along with the Divine Patterns controlled by your beast companions... will all belong to me!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly extended a massive claw.
A vast expanse of demonic qi instantly condensed into an enormous black hand that covered the sky, descending upon Aster Grant with suffocating pressure!
This strike already surpassed any previous attack.
"Don’t even think about it!"
Lazuli’s cold voice sounded, and she was the first to step forward bravely.
The Destruction Law condensed to the extreme in her hands, the crimson Sword of Destruction blazing with light, the space around it collapsing and annihilating under the unbearable power.
"Slash!"
She gripped the sword in both hands and transformed into a brilliant golden-red stream of light, fiercely confronting that massive demonic hand!
"Hiss——!"
The Sword of Destruction was indeed peerlessly sharp, successfully splitting the giant hand of demonic qi in two.
However, the essence of the Totem Fourth Tier’s power had already transformed; the severed giant hand did not completely dissipate but instead formed two smaller yet still lethal torrents of demonic qi, bypassing Lazuli to continue their assault on Aster Grant!
Lazuli’s pupils contracted slightly, reacting swiftly, changing the Law in an instant.
The sacred Guardian Law erupted from her body, transforming into an immensely thick Light Shield, promptly blocking in front of Aster Grant.
"Boom——!!!"
The two torrents of demonic qi fiercely collided with the Guardian Light Shield, exploding with a deafening roar.
The Light Shield shook violently, its surface covered instantly with web-like cracks, its light flickering intensely, on the verge of collapse.
But in the end, before shattering completely, it managed to withstand this terrible attack.
Aster Grant looked at the cracked Light Shield in front of him, his brows tightly knitted.
The Demon Clan’s ability to temporarily enhance their power through devouring their kind was indeed exceedingly troublesome.
Although the Red-horned Demon Lord had only ascended one tier, that slight difference could mean the line between life and death.
He understood he could no longer hold anything back at this moment.
His gaze swiftly scanned the battlefield where Vera was located—
Over there, the battle was nearing its end.
Before Vera, who possessed overwhelming strength, the Tier One and Two Totem Demon Clan were powerless to resist, already mostly cleared.
Witnessing this.
Aster Grant unabashedly began to summon all the power of his beast companions.
Linking to each beast through the Beast Taming Contract.
Vera, Elara Crimson, Sally, Veridia, Scarlett, Snow Maiden!
A total of six beast companions!
In the instant they received Aster Grant’s command.
No matter where these beast companions were.
Their power continuously streamed into Aster Grant’s body via the Beast Taming Contract, and from there, he transferred it to Lazuli.
"Buzz——!"
Upon receiving this power, Lazuli’s aura began to surge like a volcanic eruption!
The barrier of Totem Tier Three shattered in response, and her power level boldly stepped into the realm of Totem Fourth Tier!
And, relying on Lazuli’s Origin Level talent.
She nearly completely controlled this power.
The Red-horned Demon Lord stared at this scene in shock, his mind almost blank.
He couldn’t comprehend why a Monarch Level human could impossibly enhance his beast companions’ strength without bottlenecks.
This completely overthrew his understanding!
But Lazuli wouldn’t give him time to think.
Gathering the power of all beasts into one, this state couldn’t last long; she had to act swiftly!
Her hands slowly clasped before her chest, the Destruction Law gathered in her palms with unprecedented density and activity.
At the same time, Aster Grant fully activated his Creation Ability, creating the purest Destruction Law out of thin air in The Void, continuously channeling it to her.
The two forms of Destruction power, of the same origin but different paths, merged, forming a fiercely burning, intensely compressed red light sphere in Lazuli’s palms.
The brilliance was so intense it resembled a miniature red sun, casting everything around in a blood-red light.
Gradually, the light sphere elongated and took shape, a crimson sword with unparalleled substance constructed entirely of the Destruction Law slowly forming.
At the moment this sword appeared, a terrifying aura that ended all things and returned everything to The Void spread forth.
The space around the sword warped, light was consumed, sound was isolated, making that area seem like an absolute dead zone.
Seeing this scene, the Red-horned Demon Clan already sensed their death.
However, under the lock of this power, he could no longer evade.
The only method was to face it head-on!
The survival instinct drove him to madly extract all the demonic qi within, even at the cost of burning his origin, constructing layer upon layer of thick demonic qi barriers in front of him, attempting to withstand this world-destroying strike.
But.
Lazuli’s eyes were cold, hands feigning a grip on that Sword of Destruction, slowly raising it above her head.
Then, she lightly slashed in the direction of the Red-horned Demon Lord.
The movement seemed slow but was, in truth, incredibly swift.
Where the sword edge passed, space parted silently like fragile cloth, leaving a black scar that lingered long without healing, as if the whole world were split by this single sword!
"No——!"
The Red-horned Demon Lord let out a howl of despair.
"Hiss... Boom!!"
The moment the Sword of Destruction touched the demonic qi barriers, there was no earth-shattering collision, only a law-level annihilation.
The sturdy barriers melted away rapidly like ice and snow under the sun, failing to block even a bit.
The sword light passed through the last defense desperately erected by the Red-horned Demon Lord, glanced across his demonic body, then slashed fiercely into the ground!
At first silence reigned, as if all sound were annihilated.
Then—
"Boom rumble——!!!"
An indescribable explosion then erupted, the destructive energy shockwave expanding madly in a ring in all directions!
The nearby Monarch and Commander Level Demon Clan didn’t even have time to scream before being vaporized by the dissipated Destruction Law, both form and spirit vanishing completely!
On the ground below, a massive crack, bottomless and hundreds of meters wide, stretched to the horizon!
The edges of the fissure were mirror-smooth, still emanating searing heat and a terrifying aura of destruction.
The strike’s power made heaven and earth change color, the demon army scattered!
As the dust gradually dispersed, Lazuli stood in the air with the fading Sword of Destruction in her hand, like a Divine Judge of fate.
And the Red-horned Demon Lord and everything around him had been completely erased from the world.
