169: Chapter 169 The SSS-Rank Legendary Azure Dragon Appears!

Chaos Demon King Hog's massive single eye had originally been scanning with indifference the army of pet beasts that were gradually being overwhelmed by the devilish monsters under its command.

However, when Lu Chen's figure appeared again on the ruined altar, as silent and ghostly as a phantom, Chaos Demon King Hog's massive body suddenly stiffened!

Its single eye was instantly replaced by extreme shock and disbelief, even losing focus for a brief moment, as if it had seen the most impossible miracle in the world!

"No... impossible!!!"

The Devil King's voice was no longer the majestic roar from before, but instead carried a shrill, screeching, and jarring tone.

"How could you possibly return from the Endless Abyss?! That is a land of absolute exile where even Ninth-Rank legendary powerhouses could get lost! How... how could you find a way out so quickly?!"

Its massive single eye locked onto Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's tone was nonchalant, yet carried enough disdain to infuriate the Devil King: "The mere Endless Abyss? Just because it has a few more paths and is a bit dark, you think you can trap me? Your perspective as a Devil King is too small."

"Roar!!! Arrogant! Even if you have returned, the outcome will not change! This King could banish you once, and I can..."

Hog's roar came to an abrupt halt.

Because Lu Chen had no interest in listening to it finish its threats.

"So much nonsense! I let you be arrogant for a while, but now, it's time to settle the score!"

Lu Chen's gaze sharpened, and the god-slaying spear suddenly erupted with a divine light that tore through the firmament!

"Kill!"

With the order, the army of pet beasts, whose morale had soared due to their master's return, unleashed an assault even more ferocious than before! Having evolved, their strength had reached a new level!

As for Lu Chen himself, he transformed into a burning meteor, crashing directly into Chaos Demon King Hog's main body!

"Holy Spear: Oath of the End!"

"Thunder Punishment World Destroyer!"

The light of the Forbidden Spell illuminated this chaotic land once again, but this time, the power was completely different!

After Lu Chen's return, his control over his power seemed even more refined; every strike hit the energy nodes around Hog's single eye with precision!

What made Hog even more frustrated was that its life-saving "Abyss Exile" was in a long cooldown period, and facing Lu Chen's storm-like attacks, it could only take them head-on!

"Puchi!"

The god-slaying spear tore through its thick chaotic scales once again, drawing out a large spray of filthy blood.

"Boom!"

Endless lightning storms scorched its massive body black, and its devilish markings flickered unsteadily.

Hog frantically swung its giant claws, triggering Chaos skills to counterattack, but having lost the altar's infinite recovery buff, its HP was plummeting at a speed visible to the naked eye!

80%... 50%... 30%... 10%!

"No! This King is not reconciled! Chaos Demon Origin · Detonate!!!"

Realizing death was near, the Chaos Demon King let out a desperate roar, attempting to detonate its core and drag Lu Chen down with it!

"Want to take me down with you?"

Lu Chen sneered. The thing he feared least was mutual destruction.

He recalled all his pet beasts.

Rumble!

A massive explosion echoed through the Abyss Demon City, and the crowd of monsters trembled in fear: "The great Chaos Demon King was forced to self-destruct? This Human Race Beast Tamer is too monstrous!"

After respawning, Lu Chen saw at a glance that the Chaos Demon King had still held back and hadn't truly died!

Lu Chen's gaze was icy, and the god-slaying spear transformed into a spear of judgment that pierced through the heavens and earth, fiercely stabbing into the very center of Hog's massive single eye!

The Chaos Demon King's Soul wailed: "No!!!"

"Pfft—!"

Like a balloon being popped.

Chaos Demon King Hog's massive body shuddered violently, and then, as if all support had been drained away, it began to disintegrate inch by inch, turning into the purest Chaos energy and dissipating between heaven and earth.

[Ding! Successfully killed Chaos Demon King Hog!]

"Is this the Seventh-Rank Legendary Teleportation? It actually has no cooldown!"

Lu Chen clenched his fist, a satisfied arc curling the corners of his mouth.

Now, he was confident that if he were to face an Eighth-Rank Peak powerhouse like Elder Su again, he wouldn't need so many schemes; he could go head-to-head and completely crush them!

He didn't hesitate at all and took out the [Heart of Chaos], which radiated a chaotic halo and pulsed slightly as if it were alive.

"Great Green, come here!"

"Roar!"

Great Green felt the massive Origin power contained within the Heart of Chaos and let out an excited roar, rubbing its massive head affectionately against Lu Chen.

Lu Chen gently pressed the Heart of Chaos onto Great Green's forehead.

Hum—!

The Heart of Chaos merged instantly, and Great Green's massive body was completely enveloped by a dazzling cyan divine light!

An ancient, majestic, and transcendent Dragon might swept out like a storm!

Its form underwent a world-shaking transformation within the divine light!

Its body became more slender and perfect; deer antlers, snake body, fish scales, eagle claws... the features of an Eastern Dragon became increasingly distinct!

Golden runes flowed along the edges of its cyan scales!

"Roar!"

After the evolution was complete, Great Green let out a dragon roar that echoed through the nine heavens. Wherever the sound waves passed, the residual Devilish Qi of Chaos was purified like melting ice and snow! It circled above Lu Chen's head, looking magnificent and majestic!

SSS-Rank Legendary Azure Dragon! This was undoubtedly the greatest harvest of this advancement quest!

Furthermore, the evolution points were not reset, meaning Great Green possessed infinite potential to continue evolving and step toward the Divine-Grade!

Lu Chen was in a great mood and patted the huge dragon horn that the Azure Dragon lowered: "Good fellow, taking you out in the future will be much cooler than riding other legendary mounts!"

The Calamity Flame Spirit Skeleton King shook its skeleton aggrievedly in the pet space.

Subsequently! Lu Chen stepped into the teleportation vortex returning to Hunter Headquarters, and the scene before his eyes began to shift.
