Chapter 333: Battle

"Thank me? That's not necessary." Jiang Xia said calmly: "You've become stronger, but that doesn't mean you can beat me; you've just become stronger, but it doesn't mean I've become weaker."

Jiang Xia indeed carefully scanned the information about the current Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji.

Compared to the monsters he had encountered before, which were also top-tier, he just fought many powerful monsters, so all kinds of heaven-defying abilities were myriad.

So it's nothing special.

Jiang Xia's gaze finally rested on its waist belt, where the contained power should be able to trigger a very violent change in the spirit stone.

As for these, we still need to wait until Jiang Xia swallows it before we can make a concrete judgment.

Wantonly hiding those respected life-forms is also beyond his tolerance.

Jiang Xia just wanted to see how much he could gain by turning them into materials.

Evolution of life level is too difficult, but sufficient energy can shorten the process; from the ever-increasing lifespan, it can be seen that Jiang Xia's life level has been continually rising.

Therefore, Gu Lang Ji's waist belt and Kong Wo's spirit stone are two excellent materials.

Even so, Jiang Xia clearly felt that this was still far from enough; even the power of a planet would not be sufficient.

Just like E Chief, after recovering his complete form, the two swallowed planets barely added the weapons on his shoulders, which could only be considered a meager gain.

At that level, even the energy of an entire planet is only a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, even such an E Chief cannot defeat his brother K Chief; and now, all the monsters Jiang Xia has swallowed combined still cannot match E Chief's black hole, let alone his casual creation of worlds and destruction of everything as the Apocalypse King.

It's not just a gap in strength, but also a gap in life essence; compared to them, Jiang Xia is truly terrible, being dominated in every aspect.

He can only climb like mountain climbing, step by step; only perseverance can give him a chance to change; the evolution of life over hundreds of millions of years is destined here to be an extraordinarily long battle.

Jiang Xia's gaze once again approached indifference.

All monsters will eventually become material for my evolution, turning into the stepping stones of my evolution beneath my feet.

A sound sharper than an explosion burst forth, like a voice suppressed to the extreme, and the two launched their attacks again.

The light that illuminated the already darkened sky dispelled all gloom, beginning with the reckless collision of their bodies.

Spreading the battle's outcome across the whole world, like the moment the Olympic torch is lit!

From this moment on, celestial phenomena shifted abruptly, and even everyone in the distant human tribes felt the earth roaring.

They all gazed into the distance until the wind howled and Gold Light suddenly appeared.

At this moment, everyone in the human settlements slowly knelt toward the place where the light burst forth.

They glanced at each other, then lowered their foreheads completely, for this was the second time they had witnessed a divine intervention.

In the distant horizon, they saw a brilliance surpassing the sun hanging in the sky—a second sun, like a star, slowly rising from beneath the earth.

The blinding white light made the Rose Girl, who was desperately watching the battle, run backward.

This was far larger than the range of the first explosion; even just the aftermath gave her body a burning sensation.

Amid the beast-like roar and the dazzling sun, the flame impact not only did not diminish over time, but grew increasingly fierce.

At the battlefield's center, with dragon wings unfurled behind him, the muscles formed of spirit stone, like tree roots, undulated beneath the black bone spurs.

The spirit stone at Jiang Xia's waist has now reached the threshold to trigger ultimate darkness.

But he still controls it; power is ultimately power, and he is no longer his former self—mere ultimate darkness cannot control him.

Each swing of his black fists sends an invisible tremor through the earth.

The black, smoke-like substance permeating his body began to stain the spirit stone at his waist that emits a golden-yellow light as they continually collide.

Each punch collision is not only his fighting resolve, but also the roar and howl of the entire Gu Lang Ji race.

This was already the peak of Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji; having swallowed all the waist belts of the Ge Consortium and endured the extreme violent collisions from his battle with Jiang Xia, it experienced what true strength and real battle mean. This is what Jia Duo Lu has long craved—he has always wanted to fight Da Gu Ba, to have a bloody, satisfying death match,

But what Jia Duo Lu didn't expect was that the one who would fulfill its dream was actually the arch-enemy of its Gu Lang Ji clan, Kong Wo.

But it was worth it; even if it were killed instantly the next second, it acknowledged that the most important battle of its life had been completed.

It had no reason left to live; being slain in this violent battle was truly a most gratifying thing.

The black, viscous blood, upon leaving the body, ignited instantly and was turned into black steam by the hot air.

The two collided, and a violent explosion erupted at the center.

The shockwave and the black sun collided, the shockwave tearing the earth apart; even the surrounding extremely hard stones were liquefied, and the howling sound then exploded.

The light and the extreme heat capable of melting everything flared up at the moment of their offset.

Jiang Xia, with dragon wings on his back, seized a brief opening; blue-red flames, like willow fluff, enveloped his right fist, which resembled black obsidian, and he slammed it hard.

Hit, full force! "Bang!"

Large chunks of flesh and debris, carrying immense impact, swept across.

Ink-colored blood dripped drop by drop from Jiang Xia's right fist.

And the evolved body of Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji, accompanied by an impact capable of blasting open a mountain, crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Boom!!!"

At the moment Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji's body contacted the ground, a roar loud enough to shatter eardrums exploded.

The shockwave traversed the ground, the roar faded, leaving only fissures capable of splitting the earth.

After being flung into the air, Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji didn't know how long it rolled on the ground before fully dissipating the impact force of Jiang Xia's punch.

Jiang Xia slowly retracted his blood-stained right hand, and the dragon wings on his back drooped down.

After the tremendous roar subsided, only silence remained, with sporadic flames crackling as they burned completely.

"Huh?"

Jiang Xia's gaze swept over a devastated battlefield.

Now the mountain stream had dried up, instantly transforming from a nature reserve into a place bombarded by nuclear weapons.

Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji's back pressed against the ground, every bone in his body shattered by Jiang Xia.

His organs turned into a pulp sufficient to kill an ordinary person hundreds of times over.

Even so, Du Jiao Xian Gu Lang Ji is still alive now.

Even so, he still had the strength for one more battle.

Just as Jiang Xia was preparing to continue launching an attack, suddenly a heavy, slow Electric Arc sound rang out from his body.

The spikes on his body instantly fell off, and they became increasingly dense and noisy, like thousands of birds crying out together.

Finally, the ground around Jiang Xia also began to tremble under this force.

Swish!

The originally extremely smooth shoulders on both sides instantly extended a pair of spikes pointing toward the sky, and the spirit stone at his waist turned completely black.

Jiang Xia lowered his head, and his body lost all breath in that instant, like a statue that had lost all life.

That dim silhouette stood silently here, unchanging for eternity.

I just got back, so I'm a bit late, ⊙﹏⊙(End of chapter).
