Chapter 373: The Reappearance of the Holy Thunder
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
With the flash of the Holy Thunder of Destruction from the single horn above its head, the Ominous Beast of Chaos became more truculent. Because it could not withstand the vital force of the Holy Thunder of Destruction, the Evil Blood Aura around its entire body dissipated voluntarily between Heaven and Earth. The Evil Blood Aura was completely replaced by the Vital Force of Destruction. From a distance, it looked like a new Rakshasa.
With the Vital Force of Destruction indicating that infinite death had broken out, the clouds and wind instantly changed colors between Heaven and Earth. Heaven, Earth, mountains, and rivers were utterly filled with dread as if the Heaven and Earth were also afraid. Moreover, countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos escaped one after another, which was like a huge beast tide of the Chaos. But this time, it was for escaping rather than launching attacks.
Minghe stared at the Holy Thunder of Destruction that flashed above the One-horned Demon Ape (A/N: I made a name for it because it was a little awkward to call it the Ominous Beast of Chaos.), and then he looked dignified. Compared with the Holy Thunder of Destruction he suffered during his change to a Rakshasa, the vital force erupting from the Holy Thunder of Chaos from the single horn of the One-horned Demon Ape was much more powerful.
However, what was even more surprising was that the One-horned Demon Ape had not ended its erupting. The light of thunder from the single horn over its head suddenly radiated, and numerous Holy Thunders of Destruction flashed out. Although the Holy Thunder of Destruction was far away from the One-horned Demon Ape, the vital force of thunder pervaded between Heaven and Earth, as if Divine Punishment was imminent.
With the resurgence of the Holy Thunder of Destruction, the endless Vital Force of Destruction began to spread out. Therefore, more and more Ominous Beasts of Chaos were disturbed. Among them, there were some at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm and even the Half Step to the Fate Realm. Being different from the other Ominous Beasts of Chaos, they did not flee, but instead, stood to the side, intending to benefit from this tussle.
The One-horned Demon Ape was so powerful that the Ominous Beasts of Chaos at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm and even the Half Step to the Fate Realm only could overlook the dragon vein among the mountains but could not take advantage of it. Now, the One-horned Demon Ape was fighting against Minghe, so they naturally felt happy. If the One-horned Demon Ape were to succeed, they would act as they usually did. And if it won having made a great sacrifice, they would not mind hitting a man while he was down.
But certainly, if Minghe had a complete victory, they would naturally stay away from him out of fear that they would be targeted. After all, for an outsider like Minghe, the Origin of Chaos inside their bodies was very tempting. Those especially at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm and the Half Step to the Fate Realm were an infinite temptation for outsiders.
If Minghe won by making a great sacrifice or both sides suffered, they would naturally choose to hit a man while he was down. At that time, they could swallow Minghe and the One-horned Demon Ape. Meanwhile, they could share the benefits of the dragon vein on earth. Therefore, they would not miss such a thing that had so many benefits. Even if the intelligent beasts could not shapeshift, their minds and strength were far beyond those Ominous Beasts of Chaos outside.
Certainly, Minghe had perceived these bystanders, but he acted as if they were not there. Now, he only cared about the One-horned Demon Ape. As for the others, he could not care so much. If these Ominous Beasts of Chaos dared to meddle in his business, Minghe would not be willing to let it go. His methods could not be predicted by these Ominous Beasts of Chaos.
When the Holy Thunder of Destruction above the single horn became powerful enough, the One-horned Demon Ape stopped his screaming fury. The enormous area of thunder light flashed above its head. Although the gray light was not bright, it looked intimidating. The endless Vital Force of Destruction reeked of death, so it had to be daunting.
The next scene was totally out of Minghe"s expectation. When he saw a cloud of the Holy Thunder of Destruction coagulate by the One-horned Demon Ape, Minghe naturally did not dare to be careless. He was already prepared to face the attack. If the cloud of Holy Thunder of Destruction struck, even if Minghe had the Immortal Demon Body, he might not be able to withstand it, not to mention that he was in front of a One-horned Demon Ape.
To his surprise, such a tremendous Holy Thunder of Chaos that the One-horned Demon Ape condensed was not for attacking him. It opened its huge b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and swallowed the Holy Thunder of Destruction. From its facial expression, it seemed to be enjoying something delicious, which was really weird.
After devouring the Holy Thunder of Destruction, the One-horned Demon Ape instantly began to shine its light of thunder, which was the Holy Thunder of Destruction that it had just swallowed. Moreover, the One-horned Demon Ape"s body began to swell again. Although it did not become larger, it became stronger. The power in its daunting body was enhanced once again.
"Its whole body is entangled by the Holy Thunder of Destruction? Its physical strength has increased?" At the sight of this, Minghe became excited, with his blood boiling. He had not exerted all his strength for a long time. Minghe began to treat the One-horned Demon Ape as his real opponent, hoping that its increase in strength would not disappoint him.
"Howl!" The One-horned Demon Ape shouted out loud and abruptly stepped with its feet. The earth under its feet instantly fragmented like a cobweb. The One-horned Demon Ape instantly shot out twice as fast as before. Like a streak of lightning, its huge figure directly shot toward Minghe. Its fist with the Holy Thunder of Destruction was thrown at Minghe again.
Minghe saw this and his eyes grew wider. When the One-horned Demon Ape devoured the Holy Thunder of Destruction, it not only increased in strength but also improved its speed. Being faced with its fist, Minghe did not intend to avoid it at all, but to still face up to it. However, this fist was much more powerful than its second fist from before. But Minghe just wanted to meet strength with strength.
"Bang...!" With a tremendous noise, a figure went several thousands of miles backward. But this time, it was Minghe rather than the One-horned Demon Ape. The collision caused by that fist was earthshaking. It was more terrifying than the previous two were. The land for hundreds of thousands of miles around was now in ruins. Ravines and gullies could be seen everywhere on the ground. All of the mountains were razed to the ground.
The One-horned Demon Ape immediately leaned back and roared after its attack had gone quite smoothly. Its roaring cry was only full of joy, as if it was flaunting that the punch it just threw had gained the upper hand. Looking at the retreating Minghe, the One-horned Demon Ape had even more desire to kill him. Minghe had pushed it to this point, so it would not at all be reconciled if it did not kill him.
Minghe lowered his head and looked at the fist he had just used. It shone with the faint light of the Holy Thunder of Destruction. Perhaps it had been tainted with it because of their boxing match. The soreness and numbness of the fist made him even more excited. It seemed that the One-horned Demon Ape would look down on him if he did not take out his true skill.
When he was just about to start a movement, Minghe suddenly frowned. A purple light flashed inside his body and went directly up to his fist to swallow the remaining Holy Thunder of Destruction. At this time, Minghe recalled that there was the same Holy Thunder inside his body, the first streak of the Primordial Purpleheaven Thunder, which had brought him here.
However, the present Purpleheaven Thunder was no longer what it was before. During the last Divine Punishment, the Purpleheaven Thunder had swallowed a lot of Holy Thunder of Destruction, and it became more powerful. Although it had not finished its change to the Holy Thunder of Destruction, it still possessed some vital force of the Holy Thunder of Destruction. However, it became dormant after swallowing so much Holy Thunder of Destruction and pa.s.sing the tribulation.
Minghe did not care about that because he had no use for the law of cultivation, so he directly put it in the back of his mind. At present, the Purpleheaven Thunder revived perhaps because it perceived the vital force of the Holy Thunder of Destruction. However, it looked to be more powerful than before when pa.s.sing the tribulation. If it could swallow much more of the Holy Thunder of Destruction, it might be promoted to be the real Holy Thunder of Destruction.
At the thought of this, Minghe looked at the single horn on top of the One-horned Demon Ape"s head and his eyes flashed a golden light. Since that single horn could produce the Holy Thunder of Destruction, it was obviously extraordinary. If the Purpleheaven Thunder could completely swallow that single horn, it could be promoted to be Holy Thunder of Destruction, and its power should multiply. If so, it might be helpful for Minghe"s change to the Indestructible Demon Body.
Minghe would no longer show any mercy as he clenched his fist and rushed at the One-horned Demon Ape. At this time, the power gathering around his fist was much more powerful, no less than the current power of the One-horned Demon Ape. Therefore, it was a battle of power. Meanwhile, Minghe could just test his Immortal Demon Body.
The one man and one beast stepped on the ground, each throwing an earthshaking punch. It was a completely world-destroying battle. In any place that it pa.s.sed, the mountains and rivers were disintegrated, and even the clouds in the sky were dispersed. All of this was caused by the collision of great forces. Just now, Minghe fully realized the reason why Great Divinity Pangu was so powerful. Supreme power, the Creation of Heaven and Earth, and killing 3,000 Mazingers—all were heroic undertakings.
During the collision, the Purpleheaven Thunder inside his body continuously nibbled away at the Holy Thunder of Destruction inside him. Certainly, Minghe intentionally let it in. Otherwise, it would not be easy for the Holy Thunder of Destruction to enter his body based on his current physique. The Holy Thunder of Destruction was powerful, but its power had not reached that of the Fate Realm. Therefore, Minghe was fearless.
In the process of swallowing the Holy Thunder of Destruction, the Purpleheaven Thunder also began to undergo its own change. Originally, there was only a line between it and the Holy Thunder of Destruction. Now, after it had swallowed some Holy Thunder of Destruction, it naturally changed. When it had finished its change, Minghe"s entire body also flashed with the Holy Thunder of Destruction. He was exactly like the One-horned Demon Ape, but he was a little inferior in the vital force of the Holy Thunder of Destruction. After all, he had only just completed his promotion.
