452: Split body?

Just as the platinum-white pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth—the Light of Final Judgment—was about to completely annihilate the dark-purple monster, an unexpected change occurred!

From the core of the monster, which should have dissipated, a point of extremely deep, dark-purple spectral light suddenly burst forth. It wasn't resistance, but rather like a greedy black hole, madly devouring the power of the Light of Judgment!

Not only was it not purified, but it seemed to absorb nourishment and instantly swelled!

"Roar—!!!"

A roar far more ancient, more brutal, and more blasphemous than any previous one, like a death knell from the Nine Hells, reverberated throughout the Netherworld Fire Domain!

Su Han's pupils suddenly constricted. He clearly felt an indescribable terrifying will awakening from that spectral light!

The power of the Light of Judgment was forcibly cut off and absorbed!

The spectral light rapidly expanded and twisted, re-outlining the monster's form, but this time, it was no longer a vague humanoid shape.

Its body became even larger, nearly thirty feet, covered in dark-purple crystalline armor that seemed to be solidified from countless twisted Souls. Ferocious bone spurs grew from its joints, and its head completely transformed into a constantly rotating, light-devouring dark-purple vortex. In the center of the vortex, two points of crimson light, like the lava of Hell, locked onto Su Han.

Its aura was more than twice as powerful as before!

The will of defilement, chaos, and destruction, like a tangible tsunami, impacted Su Han's mind. Even the platinum flames of the Netherworld Fire Domain were suppressed and dimmed by this evil aura, emitting painful "sizzling" sounds.

"Ant… how dare you harm my Clone… My Lord… grant me… Rebirth… You… shall be the sacrifice!"

Disjointed mental fluctuations, filled with endless malice and madness, directly slammed into Su Han's mind, causing his Soul to feel a stinging pain.

"Clone?!"

Su Han's heart trembled violently.

That strike, which had almost exhausted his last bit of power, had only eliminated one of the opponent's Clones?

Was this the true main body?

Or was it a power vessel projected by some even more terrifying existence?

There was no time to think further. The reborn dark-purple monster—let's call it the "Defiled Crystal-Armored Giant Demon" for now—moved!

Its massive body did not appear clumsy; instead, it was as fast as a dark-purple lightning bolt tearing through space!

It did not use any energy attacks, just a simple, brutal, yet world-shattering punch, smashing down on Su Han's head!

Before the punch even landed, the terrifying pressure from it made the space around Su Han groan under the strain, and the charred black ground beneath his feet cracked and collapsed inch by inch!

Pure physical strength had reached an inconceivable level!

"Not good!"

Su Han's hair stood on end, and his body reacted instinctively.

He forcibly suppressed the churning Qi and blood in his body from over-exertion, pouring the slight amount of Pure World power he had just recovered into his legs.

"Golden Blood · Instant Shadow!"

His figure left a faint golden afterimage in place, his true body having moved dozens of feet horizontally at the last moment.

However, the violent strong wind brought by the Defiled Crystal-Armored Giant Demon's fist still scraped past like countless sharp blades. Su Han's newly condensed, still unstable body was instantly cut with dozens of bone-deep wounds, and golden blood sprayed out, leaving golden specks on the scorched earth.

"Boom—!!!"

The giant fist missed, smashing into the spot where Su Han had been standing.

The ground, like a lake into which a giant rock had been thrown, suddenly arched upwards, forming a massive circular shockwave that, carrying countless gravel and defiled energy, spread wildly outwards in a fan shape!

Wherever the shockwave passed, even the platinum flames of the Netherworld Fire Domain were temporarily blown away and extinguished!

Although Su Han avoided the direct impact, he was also violently thrown back by this fierce shockwave, crashing like a broken kite into a large, not yet fully melted black giant rock in the distance. (End of Chapter)
