192: Successfully broken through to the Awakening level!!!

Beneath the cracks was not flesh and blood, but destructive energy light, raging to the extreme, clashing relentlessly, and seemingly ready to burst out of his body at any moment!

His body began to swell and twist unnaturally and violently, like a balloon being frantically inflated!

The energy exploded and clashed uncontrollably within him, producing loud, muffled thunderous sounds!

It looked as if, in the next second, the Kraken would completely disintegrate, turning into the most basic particles in the universe!

Within the light screen, President Nicola's facial muscles instantly twisted, his pupils dilated to the extreme, and he let out a heart-rending, nearly hysterical scream:

"He's committing suicide! Energy overload! He will definitely explode and die! Stop him! Hurry!!"

However, his voice was drowned out by the greater roar of the battlefield.

Lan Xin, standing beside him, was pale as paper. She closed her eyes in despair, her voice choked with tears:

"No... President... it's already... too late..."

Amidst Nicola's desperate screams, Su Chen's body swelled to a terrifying critical point, and the light emanating from countless cracks was so blinding that people couldn't open their eyes, as if he were a supernova about to ignite!

Su Chen's agonizing howl, mixed with extreme pain and unyielding will, shook the entire sea area:

"Aaaahhhhhh—!!!"

At this moment, the boundless energy within the awakening essence had pushed him to his limit,

like a balloon inflated to the maximum, ready to burst spectacularly in the next second!

However,

just in this final instant of impending annihilation,

in Su Chen's bloodshot compound eyes, what ignited was not despair,

but a madness and arrogance capable of burning everything away!

"Is that all?! You think this little bit of energy can burst me, Su Chen?! It's not even enough to stick between my teeth!!"

He roared up at the sky, a sound that shook the very rules, as if announcing to the entire universe:

"infinite devouring system! Devour it all—now!!!!"

Buzz ——————

It was as if the universe had pressed the pause button.

A formless, intangible wave of law, yet one that surpassed all things, swept across the entire battlefield instantly from Su Chen, like ripples in water!

The next second, a miracle, or perhaps... a divine sign, occurred!

Su Chen's three-thousand-meter body, which was on the verge of shattering and had swelled to its limit, did not explode.

Instead, it collapsed in defiance of all logic!

All the energy, all the matter, and all the light were swallowed madly, as if by an invisible singularity!

Immediately after—

Boom ————————————————— !!!!!!!!!!!!

A burst of ultimate light, which made the sun dim and stripped all things of color, erupted and released aggressively from Su Chen's center, like the Big Bang at the dawn of the universe!

The light swept over everything, devouring everything!

When the destructive light slowly faded, the gaze of every survivor on the battlefield, including Nicola on the other side of the light screen, focused intensely on the center of the light—

A figure... thirty thousand meters tall, a brand new silhouette that genuinely covered the sky and obscured the sun, stood proudly between heaven and earth!

His original form had undergone a metamorphosis; his body was more slender and streamlined, covered in a new carapace interwoven with dark gold and deep blue, flowing with a mysterious luster like living metal, full of power and aesthetic beauty.

The edges of his ten ferocious tentacles were no longer bone spurs, but deep blue light blades that twisted and cut space itself as they shimmered.

His huge compound eyes were no longer merely cold; they had transformed into slowly rotating galactic vortices, so profound they seemed capable of swallowing souls.

A vast, majestic, terrifying pressure, surpassing that of ordinary Awakening Level beings, spread out violently from him like a physical tsunami!

Wherever the pressure passed, all low-level Vicious Beasts within a hundred-meter radius, regardless of form or size, instantly froze, and then, as if crushed by an invisible giant hand, their bodies disintegrated inch by inch, turning into the finest dust!

He succeeded!

In desperation, with a momentum like a whale swallowing the ocean, he aggressively stepped into... the Awakening Realm!

...At this moment, Lei Zhen and the group of Divine Summer experts, relying on their flexible maneuverability, had narrowly avoided the Molten Mountain Colossus's massive descending claw and rushed toward its cave-like, giant maw, which reeked of sulfur. They were searching for the optimal angle and timing to penetrate its body and self-destruct.

However—

Whoosh —!

A tentacle wrapped in deep blue electric arcs and visible spatial ripples seemed to transcend the constraints of time and ignore the barriers of space,

striking later but arriving first,

like the Whip of Judgment wielded by a God King from the Ninth Heaven, carrying the absolute will to tear everything apart, it violently struck the center of the Molten Mountain Colossus's massive head!

Puchi —!!!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a faint sound, clear to the soul, like a sharp blade slicing through cooked meat.

Immediately after,

Under the gaze of Lei Zhen, his comrades, and countless shocked onlookers, the gigantic Molten Mountain Colossus, twenty thousand meters tall and possessing monstrous defense, suddenly stiffened.

A thin line of blood accurately traced downward from the top of its head, passing through its nasal ridge, massive mouth, neck, chest, and abdomen... The next moment—

Hualalalala —!!!!

Like a red waterfall being split, the Molten Mountain Colossus's massive body neatly tipped and cracked open along that line of blood, falling to both sides!

Hot blood, ruptured organs, and broken bones poured down like a mountain flood, instantly dyeing the ground below into a scarlet swamp!

The sky rained blood, drenching the unprepared Lei Zhen from head to toe.

At the same time, Su Chen's will, calm as an ancient ice abyss yet containing supreme majesty, clearly sounded in his ear:

"General Lei, you have worked hard."

"Your back is now... guarded by me."

Lei Zhen abruptly wiped away the foul beast blood obscuring his eyes, looking at the giant beast's corpse, which had collapsed violently to both sides as if a mountain had been sliced open.

He froze for a moment,

then let out a heaven-shaking, wild laugh that expressed both relief and utter exhilaration:

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Kraken! I knew it! I knew you'd damn well pull it off!!!"

...Star Sea Merchant Guild, Circular Council Hall.

Deathly silence.

All of President Nicola's previous exclamations, despair, and pronouncements were choked in his throat, as if tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand.

He stood with his mouth open, his body trembling uncontrollably. His eyes, skilled at calculating gains and losses, were now wide to the point of tearing, fixed intensely on the thirty-thousand-meter giant demon standing tall in the light screen.

Finally, he swallowed a few times, then used all his strength to squeeze out a few syllables from between his teeth, filled with trembling and disbelief:

"Swallowing the whale... the awakening essence... he actually... truly... succeeded?!"

He stumbled back a step, hitting the chair back, and muttered distractedly to himself, his voice filled with the shock and bewilderment of having his worldview completely overturned:

"...Monster... He is a true... monster!!!"
