193: Kill! Kill! Kill! Devour! Devour! Devour!

He knew better than anyone what this meant!

Ordinary creatures advancing to the Awakening Realm, even if refining the most common awakening stones, required over ten hours of careful guidance in absolute silence, with guardians present, and without the slightest disturbance, lest a mistake shatter their meridians and leave them crippled!

And the awakening essence... how terrifying and violent was the energy contained within it?!

That was simply not meant for mortal life!

Yet the Kraken... not only did he do it, but he succeeded in the shortest amount of time, right in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by an endless tide of beasts... using the crudest and most dangerous method of "Whale Devouring"?!

This sight could no longer be described merely as a "miracle"!

This was fundamentally... trampling on the rules! Subverting common sense! A divine feat that transcended all logic!!!

This Kraken—the Kraken—had personally... created a living divine feat!

...In the center of the battlefield, Su Chen's 30,000-meter giant body slowly turned, his cold, Starry Compound Eyes overlooking the still-endless tide of beasts below, which had begun to show signs of restlessness under his pressure.

Finally, his gaze locked onto the beast emperor altar in the distance, which emitted vast and ancient fluctuations.

He took a deep breath, and the air within a ten-thousand-meter radius seemed to be sucked dry.

What followed was no longer a thought transmission, but a physical roar that shook the spatial structure of the entire Myriad Beast Sea, containing newfound power and supreme will:

"Now..."

The sound was like billions of thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, announcing the dawn of a new era and the arrival of a predator:

"...The hunt begins!"

While the roar still echoed across the sky, Su Chen's colossal 30,000-meter body moved!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten massive tentacles, like Demon Dragons awakened from primordial times, their edges flashing with Ethereal Blue Light Blades that sliced through space, swept forth aggressively!

They were no longer mere flesh and blood; they resembled ten living mountain ranges imbued with the will to destroy!

In the next instant, this tide of beasts that had just sought to devour everything instantly transformed into... Su Chen's personal hunting ground, an unlimited feast!

Pfft!

A tentacle, like the most precise javelin, instantly pierced the skull of a ten-thousand-meter whale-type ferocious beast. As the light blade on the tip of the tentacle twisted, the hard cranium shattered like paper mache.

Before the giant whale's corpse could fall, a terrifying suction erupted from the tentacle. The massive body visibly shriveled and contracted, finally turning into a stream of pure energy that was completely devoured by the tentacle!

Crack!

Another tentacle swept horizontally like the Whip of God. Three rhino-shaped giant beasts, charging side-by-side and clad in thick bone armor, were simultaneously and cleanly sliced and crushed before they could even let out a cry of distress!

Before the chunks of flesh and blood could splatter, they were forcefully adhered to and devoured by the countless suction cups opened on the surface of the tentacle!

Tear—!

A tentacle wrapped around the talons of a flying giant bird and pulled with tremendous force!

That terrifying ferocious bird, with a wingspan of nearly five thousand meters, was forcibly ripped into two halves! Amidst the scattering bloody feathers, the two remnants were wrapped up by the tentacles and absorbed before they even hit the ground!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Devour! Devour! Devour!

Su Chen stood rooted to the spot, yet his ten tentacles moved as if possessing independent life, transforming into a storm of death!

Piercing, lashing, winding, tearing... every attack was concise, brutal, and efficient to the extreme!

Before him, the Awakening Level giant beasts that had cost the Divine Summer Legion dearly were as fragile as children's toys.

Ten-thousand-meter giant beasts?

Instant kill with one blow!

Impenetrable carapaces?

The Spatial Light Blades on the edges of the tentacles easily sliced them open like a hot knife through butter!

He no longer needed any technique; pure power and the absolute suppression of rank formed the most primal and shocking aesthetic of slaughter!

As giant beasts were instantly killed and devoured by him, massive amounts of evolutionary energy surged madly into his body like a breaching flood.

His 30,000-meter giant body began to visibly swell and rise further!

31,000 meters, 33,000 meters, 35,000 meters... The dark gold and ethereal blue interwoven carapace around his body became thicker and deeper, and the flowing energy radiance almost solidified into flames!

The aura he emitted soared madly, wave after wave, like an endless mountain torrent!

The terrifying pressure caused the clouds in the sky to scatter and the ground below to continuously crack!

[Ding! Devoured "Abyssal Demon Whale" (Stage 103), evolution points +10300!]

[Ding! Devoured "Earth Splitting Rhino Emperor" (Stage 105), evolution points +10700!]

[Ding! Devoured "Sky Thunder Roc" (Stage 107), evolution points +11000!]

[Level Up: Stage 101 → Stage 102!]

[Level Up: Stage 102 → Stage 103!]

[Level Up: Stage 103 → Stage 104!]

System notifications frantically flashed in his mind like popping beans!

His level skyrocketed like a rocket!

The Awakening Level giant beasts that were rarely seen on Blue Star and capable of dominating a region were now everywhere, like crops waiting to be harvested, providing him with unprecedented, massive Evolutionary Resources!

How could this be a catastrophic tide of beasts?

This was clearly... the Stairway to Heaven, prepared solely for Su Chen, leading to supreme power!

Under Su Chen's terrifying slaughter and devouring—a veritable Dimensional Reduction Strike—the battle situation underwent a devastating reversal!

The momentum of the originally endless tide of beasts, which seemed capable of drowning everything, suddenly stalled.

The pure murderous intent and madness in the eyes of the giant beasts at the forefront began to be replaced by the most extreme fear, originating from primal instinct!

Roar... Awoo...?

A Giant Sea Lizard charging ahead saw a companion, stronger than itself, instantly sucked dry by a tentacle, and let out an unintelligible, trembling whimper. Its massive body began to involuntarily retreat.

This retreat spread through the tide of beasts like a plague!

Woo—!

Awoo—!

More and more giant beasts let out cries of terror. They stopped looking at Su Chen and frantically turned around, desperately trying to crawl back into the bottomless Black Hole they had just surged out of!

They crashed into and trampled over each other, just to get farther away from the Demon God who devoured everything behind them!

Meanwhile, deep within the Black Hole, the giant beasts that had not yet charged out seemed to sense the terrifying aura that made their souls tremble outside, letting out anxious roars. They instinctively tried to stop their comrades from retreating and hogging their "spots."

The will to advance and the will to retreat clashed violently at the edge of the Black Hole!
