The cacophony of sounds erupted along with the appearance of blood-red pupils, each voice asserting its own thoughts in that single instant.
These utterances carried immense information, though some voices merely shrieked incoherently. Upon closer inspection, among the dozen or so voices, only eight belonged to individuals speaking coherently.
However, Chen Luo’s attention was captured by a single statement:
"Rady? You are indeed still alive?"
"Then, before I kill Long Jiu, you will descend into hell first!!"
Chen Luo took a step forward, his internal energy surging forth like a torrent. Instantly, a tangible, golden-red aura formed around him! This terrifying aura even caused the surrounding darkness to churn and writhe!
Facing such Chen Luo, the voices in the darkness faltered in unison. The next moment, a pair of crimson eyes, akin to a blood moon, rapidly lunged towards Chen Luo! As the blood-red giant eye drew nearer, its true form was finally revealed under the glow of the aura!
It was an immeasurably large, silver-white serpent’s head! The colossal serpent’s eyes were blood-red, radiating an ominous scarlet luminescence. And atop the serpent’s head stood the upper half of a white man with curly hair, clad in a white lab coat. It was only “half” because his lower body was completely submerged within the serpent’s head, giving the appearance that he was slowly merging into the serpentine form.
Rady gazed at Chen Luo, who exuded immense power, with astonishment. After a moment, this butcher, who had single-handedly established the Recycling Chamber, suddenly pointed at Chen Luo and burst into laughter:
“Hahaha!! What did I hear? An ant actually dares to claim it will kill Lord Long Jiu?”
Laughter echoed from other voices within the darkness as well. Clearly, in the eyes of these Apostles, Chen Luo’s declaration was utterly ludicrous!
*Bang!!!!*
The laughing Rady, along with the massive silver-white serpent head beneath him, vanished with a deafening roar. On the serpent’s neck, stretching for nearly a thousand meters and tens of meters thick, which had emerged from the darkness, only a severed gap remained.
The headless serpent’s neck seemed to react only now, as a torrent of blood gushed violently from within! In an instant, endless flesh and blood rained down into the surrounding darkness with a splattering sound.
This sudden turn of events brought the laughter in the darkness to an abrupt halt. And before all the bloodshot eyes, Chen Luo, bathed in golden-red flames, slowly retracted his fist and calmly addressed the monstrous entities in the darkness:
“Alright, he’s dead.”
“Now, you have a choice.”
“Either you tell me where Long Jiu is, and then I kill you.”
“Or I kill you all, and then I go find that bastard Long Jiu?”
The bloodshot eyes in the darkness exchanged hesitant glances. The next moment!
*Boom!!!*
“Damn it! That lunatic Rady is really dead!”
“Everyone, attack together! Don’t hold back!”
“Taste death, invader!”
A terrifying monster, ten thousand meters in size, suddenly surged from the darkness! It was a colossal serpent, entirely silver-white. And upon its massive body, over a dozen ferocious silver-white heads lunged towards Chen Luo! Atop these colossal heads, the Apostles, not yet fully digested, also deployed their trump cards!
“Apostle Battle Armor! Unleash!!!” x12
In an instant, countless rays of light illuminated the darkened world! Between reality and illusion, a dozen colossal, pure energy battle armors, each over two thousand meters tall, manifested with a resounding boom! An endless tide of energy erupted within this vast, boundless dark world with the materialization of these armors! The darkness was instantly suppressed to the far reaches, and torrents of multi-colored energy surged towards Chen Luo!
“Battle Soul Skill! Hellblood Demon God!!”
“Battle Soul Skill! Soul Reaping Scythe!!”
“Battle Soul Skill! Netherworld Trident!!”
“Battle Soul Skill! Dao Light Infinite Break!!”
A dozen distinct voices rang out in unison. Even those Apostles who had seemed to have lost their minds momentarily regained consciousness! And with their roars, attacks capable of leaving permanent scars on the continent rained down upon Chen Luo!
*Hum!*
The energy tides of various colors, guided by the colossal serpent’s body, abruptly fused and converged! After all the colors merged, only pure black remained—a void capable of devouring all things!
Neumann, the leader of the second sequence, looked at Chen Luo, who stood motionless as if frozen in fear, with a cold expression:
“Foolish! Provoking Nine Dragons is your greatest mistake!”
“If in the outside world, where our power cannot be fully unleashed, you might have been able to contend with us through skill!”
“But this is the Zero Battlefield! Even if you managed to kill that idiot Rady through a sneak attack, you will only feel true despair when we truly display our power!”
“Feel the power of the Apostles! If this were not the Zero Battlefield, outside of the world, even we would not dare to wield this world-destroying power!!!”
Within the flames, Chen Luo, who had been standing still, finally moved upon hearing this. The flames around Chen Luo completely dissipated, making him appear as an ordinary mortal with no divine aura. Neumann’s lips curved into a cruel smile:
“Heh, have you given up struggling?”
The black void light that filled the sky continued to blast forward relentlessly. Just as the Apostles believed Chen Luo was about to perish, they saw Chen Luo, who looked like an ordinary mortal, slowly raise a finger and softly utter:
“I say.”
“Let there be light!”
With a single word, heaven and earth transformed! Silently, the black void light, capable of shattering continents and making planets tremble, vanished abruptly! And the darkness, pushed to the corners by the energy torrent, also dissipated completely under the sudden appearance of light!
The so-called Zero Battlefield finally revealed its true form before Chen Luo! It was a perfect cube, large enough to contain a continent, its entire surface covered by a mysterious silver-gray metallic material. At this moment, the entire interior of the cube was as bright as day. In the center of the cube, a ten-thousand-meter-long multi-headed serpent stood like a frozen sculpture, staring blankly at Chen Luo, who stood quietly.
Under the gaze of the colossal serpent and the dozens of eyes of the Apostles, Chen Luo closed his eyes and relaxed his neck with a stretch:
“No wonder I felt something was off the moment I stepped out of the elevator.”
“It’s been a while since I felt this relaxed.”
“Thanks for the reminder. As a thank you, allow me to send you on your way!”
His closed eyes snapped open, his brilliant golden pupils reflecting the unique majesty of a Domain Master! Despite the serpent’s immense size, the Apostles on its body felt as insignificant as ants being stared at by a giant!
“No! Impossible!!”
“An illusion! It’s all an illusion!!!”
“Ahhh, it must be a delusion before my death!!! Lord Long Jiu!! Take me with you!!!” xxs壹贰
Compared to the others’ breakdown, Neumann, though gripped by endless fear under Chen Luo’s pressure, still managed to ask with difficulty:
“Who, who are you?!”
Chen Luo stomped his foot, and the silver-gray ground composed of exotic material violently cracked, forming countless fissures.
“Who am I?”
Chen Luo then surged into mid-air, retracting his right hand. Vitality, Starlight, Soul, and Domain power coiled and contracted ferociously around Chen Luo’s fist! In a trance, Chen Luo’s fist seemed to transform into a singularity that attracted all light and power.
Facing the terrified, near-death, and maddened Apostles, Chen Luo smiled lightly:
“I am a traveler from another world, a conqueror of the Doomsday Game, and a human who has come to smash your dog heads!”
“Savor this well!! True power!!!”
“Domain Skill! Ultimate Death!!!”
With a single punch! The singularity that attracted endless light exploded!
