Chapter 306: Chapter 300: Dual Divine Power
It was still the mountain range lying by the sea, but after just two days and nights, the entire mountain range had become riddled with scars, with cracks and hollows covering the mountain body.
Deep within the cave that the Demon Suppression Pillar penetrated, dark red light churned like lava.
The moment Jiang Hou appeared, he sensed the ’powerful’ feeling emanating from the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar below, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Has the entire mountain range already been refined? With a knowing look, Jiang Hou’s figure passed through the hollow to reach underground.
Hundreds of meters below the ground, the mountain range had been hollowed out, with a giant pillar over three hundred and fifty meters long and over twenty meters in diameter lying across the cavity.
On the originally pitch-black surface of the Demon Suppression Pillar, dark red golden patterns wound around, emitting a substantive dark red light, illuminating the cave.
Under the glow, nine dragon-shaped carvings appeared even more ferocious and majestic, exuding a heavy pressure that distorted the void.
The Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar, after devouring the metal ore vein, did not upgrade, but it became more massive and heavy, which Jiang Hou had already anticipated.
For him, weapons only needed to be heavy and large.
"This place seems quite suitable for a retreat." Jiang Hou glanced around.
Apart from the few hundred meters high cavity where the Demon Suppression Pillar was located, there were two dark passages extending to the ends of the mountain, through which the Extraordinary Elements had been devoured.
Bang! Wind howled around Jiang Hou, his body rapidly expanded, in the blink of an eye bursting the air to transform into a one hundred and forty meters tall black Giant Ape.
Bang! A foot burning with black flames landed on the ground, causing the earth to crack within a few hundred meters.
Roar!
The Purgatory Giant Ape growled lowly, its right arm grabbing the floating Demon Suppression Pillar in mid-air, then hugged it with both arms and directly embedded it a hundred meters into the ground, causing the entire mountain range to quake thunderously.
Against the giant pillar, the Purgatory Giant Ape sat cross-legged, raised its head to glance at the hole tens of meters in diameter above, and a look of anticipation appeared on its fierce and majestic face.
"Finally, I can sleep." The Purgatory Giant Ape thought, its intention echoing in its mind, evolution!
Boom! The evolutionary energy accumulated from early-tier Seven till now exploded from deep within the Purgatory Giant Ape, roaring out like a world-ending flood.
This energy made the Purgatory Giant Ape’s blood boil, instantly activating a terrifying power deep within its bloodline.
Boom! The Purgatory Giant Ape’s consciousness roared, appearing in the Soul Space, where the earth of the soul world shattered, and a gargantuan black Giant Ape that blotted out the sun appeared.
Roar! The giant beast’s roar echoed through heaven and earth, and amidst the roar, the Purgatory Giant Ape’s entire body of flesh, bones, and cells began to ’dissolve.’
The originally stable genetic chain of life shattered, and all the talents, Extraordinary Elements, and power systems within its body transformed into strands of rune chains that began to reorganize.
As the Purgatory Giant Ape’s consciousness grew drowsy and it sat in slumber against the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar deep within the mountain, the outside world underwent a drastic change due to its breakthrough.
In the sky above, dark clouds whirled, and a terrifying aura filled the world, instilling fear in all living creatures.
Strands of golden light appeared in the void from out of nowhere, transforming into golden petals that fluttered down, while in the air, true dragon and phoenix phantoms composed of elements of earth, fire, wind, water, and light circled around.
Such spectacle, if it occurred in the real world, would immediately capture global attention.
But here lies a wasteland, deserted, inhabited only by instinct-driven roaming monsters and bloodthirsty fierce beasts, with no sight of even a tier seven creature within hundreds or thousands of kilometers.
While Jiang Hou was in slumber, others were busy as well.
In Kerlaya, one of the Fifteen Western Countries, in the hidden base of the Purple Dragon Hall, deep underground, bubbles surged in a laboratory where a pool was filled with black liquid.
At the edge of a pool over a hundred meters in diameter, several half-meter thick cables dipped into the water.
Meanwhile, at their rear, instruments regulating the power were operating at full capacity, with the wattage numbers on the gauges leaping madly, delivering terrifying electric power to the black pool.
Strands of blue electric light danced across the pool’s surface, endlessly pouring into the purple-haired young man sitting cross-legged in the pool’s center.
At this moment, the purple-haired young man had over five meters of his body exposed above the pool, his body covered with white wolf fur, muscles bursting all over, head adorned with twin horns that seemed wolf-like yet dragon-like, exuding a terrifying aura.
Meanwhile, a several meters high black mirror hovered in mid-air, and within the mirror, a cloaked figure stood.
At this point, a hoarse, low voice slowly emanated from within the mirror: "You are bold, daring to fuse two ancient Divine Race bloodlines simultaneously."
The purple-haired young man, madly absorbing nuclear energy, grinned, revealing a maniacal smile: "As the saying goes, the bold die full, the timid die hungry."
"To gain power beyond limits, it’s impossible to succeed without a little madness."
"Moreover, it aligns with my expectations: Blood Moon Power and Red Sun Divine Power are both antagonistic yet complementary, combined with the awakened Divine Techniques of this hall leader, success rate hits an entire fifty percent."
"Fifty percent is still only half; aren’t you afraid of that fifty percent mortality rate?"
Instantly, the smile on the purple-haired young man’s face became all the more deranged: "For normal people, a fifty percent chance is indeed half life, half death, but for us researchers, it’s practically no different from a hundred percent."
"And indeed, it is so; my current state is very good, feeling unprecedentedly powerful."
Watching the aura grow increasingly terrifying, and the blue electric light on his body gradually transforming into surrounding thunderbolts, the shadow in the mirror fell silent for a moment, then rasped.
"With the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf and Red Sun Divine Power, even though you haven’t broken through to tier eight, you’re no different from an eight-tier now."
"Just make sure you don’t forget our agreement, otherwise news of the Demon Dragon Divine Hall hunting Howling Moon Celestial Wolves and the Red Sun Divine Race will soon spread far and wide."
The purple-haired young man grinned, revealing a sinister smile: "Don’t worry, not only you are interested in that giant beast, but so am I."
"According to the agreement, by that time, you get the inheritance mark, and I will take his giant beast body."
"Although this current body is powerful, it’s still not strong enough; only the body of a Heaven and Earth Giant Beast can contain the true Dual Divine Power."
The shadow in the mirror said flatly: "Don’t underestimate yourself; during Mortas’s invasion of the Ancient Divine Realm, he exhibited early-tier eight power, and at his limit, his outburst could even rival mid-tier eight."
"Though his most potent force could only be unleashed in a single strike, if you get careless, you could die."
"Moreover, the fact that the giant beast carries an inheritance mark is only my speculation based on his growth speed and resource usage mismatch."
"Unless it’s confirmed he really does have the inheritance mark, I will not make a move across the realm."
The purple-haired young man’s grin stretched to his ears, his smile becoming increasingly menacing: "No problem, I know you’re wary of those old beings, so I’ll initiate a probing strike first."
"However, to avoid exposing my identity prematurely, I need you to send more supplies."
"What do you need?"
"An ancient creature puppet with power up to early-tier seven."
"Tier seven."
The shadow in the mirror paused slightly, then nodded: "Alright."
"Deal, once I complete the fusion, I’ll head over, no later than five days."
