Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Origin of Chaos · Supreme Sky Thunder
The Archduke of Blood slowly gathered his power, gripping a blade made of blood in one hand while pointing towards the sky with the other.

Boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder struck down.

Its might shook the entire sky, and in an instant, the hellish red above was swept away! The offensive forces created by several gods were instantly shattered.

The three gods were forced to retreat, struggling to maintain their balance.

In the end, the lightning did not cause any harm; it merely transformed into silver serpents that coiled around the massive form of the Archduke of Blood.

Ultimately, the lightning morphed into a suit of armor, empowering him. Instantly, the presence of the Archduke of Blood surpassed that of any divine-level entity present. As the thunder flashed, the remaining five in the air all retreated in a panic.

And this seemed merely a prelude to a singular technique.

This display left Sterl pale and struck a profound chord with the three gods of the main world.

“How is this possible!?”

“Your technique…”

“Archduke of Blood… you are truly cunning!”

“So this time, you intentionally lured us here!”

The three gods were filled with terror! Because…

The skill wielded by the Archduke of Blood was a pure and oppressive thunder, a technique that no ordinary demon could learn! It was undoubtedly a move exclusive to the main world factions.

Now that this divine-level demon had mastered it, it meant that the technique would transform into the Origin of Chaos, its power dramatically increasing.

Moreover, it appeared that this Origin of Chaos was purely an offensive skill, which would grant this divine-level demon an exaggerated combat prowess!

At this moment…

All the gods turned pale!

Even terrified.

The three gods of the main world were understandably in a panic! Among them, Marlon and Ashen’s gods were somewhat better off; they not only possessed their divine authority but also had a long-studied Iridescent-Level skill. In contrast, the god from the Golden Kingdom had only ascended to godhood a few decades ago and possessed merely a fragmented Iridescent-Level skill.

At this moment, the power of the Thunder mastered by the Archduke of Blood had to be of divine authority quality, and now that it had transformed into the Origin of Chaos, it far exceeded any ordinary Iridescent-Level ability!

The three gods of the main world simply could not withstand it!

The two divine-level demons were also not pleased…

Not long ago, the two divine-level demons had been coveting this unclaimed layer of hell. They were, after all, the ones who had ambushed and killed the Archduke of Blood initially.

However, seizing the Archduke of Blood’s layer of hell would prove to be quite difficult for them as well.

The Will of Hell between each layer is in a state of constant competition. Once a divine-level demon occupies a layer of hell that does not belong to them, the will of the occupied layer is at risk of being devoured by the will of the layer from which the divine-level demon originates.

As a result, divine-level demons face fierce resistance when attempting to seize another layer of hell. Unless they wait for the invasion from the main world when the Will of Hell is already dissipating, it will still tend to favor its own kind.

However…

Just when the two divine-level demons were plotting against each other—one of their plans even interrupted by Sterl—they were shocked to discover that the Archduke of Blood had suddenly revived.

Moreover, he seemed to possess an aura that was subtly stronger than before.

Initially, the two divine-level demons intended to join forces against a common enemy, but they found that the Archduke of Blood appeared to be ready to set aside his grudges and invite them to collaborate in eliminating the gods of the main world for mutual gain.

In the main world, the gods could kill each other to seize divine authority, let alone the demons from Hell, who were in direct opposition to the main world.

Furthermore, the demons of Hell could refine the legacies of the divine beings from the main world without any restrictions. Depending on their abilities, they could gain varying degrees of benefits, but even the minimum outcome would result in a significant power boost for the divine-level demons.

Although they were puzzled about how the Archduke of Blood could be certain that the three gods of the main world had already descended, the other two divine-level demons did not hesitate to agree to this collaboration.

Even…

While cooperation was one thing, if they could manage to seize a substantial amount of the legacies left behind after the fall of the main world gods, the two divine-level demons might even consider teaming up again to eliminate the Archduke of Blood once more.

After all, these two demons were quite rare; they had previously teamed up once before! In hell, this was a highly valuable and scarce quality!

They could barely trust each other.

But now, with the Archduke of Blood wielding the Thunder of Origin of Chaos, his power had surged dramatically.

This was extremely unfriendly towards the two divine-level demons!

Not to mention that their plans were likely to fail because of this; even if they abandoned their intention to kill the Archduke of Blood again, it didn’t mean that this resurrected divine-level demon would let them off the hook.

If people in the main world can hardly tolerate such a grudge, how much more so could demons in hell?

As a result…

The two divine-level demons, who had originally been gathering their strength to unleash Iridescent-Level techniques, abruptly halted their actions.

And the last one left in shock…

Naturally, it was Sterl.

He was the one most aware of the situation. The Archduke of Blood had been plotting in the main world, and yet, despite being intercepted by him, how had he managed to obtain the Origin of Chaos? It didn’t make sense!

Sterl had studied a fair amount of formation theory, and he understood that the Blood Sacrifice Swallowing God Array didn’t work by simply cutting off a random piece of flesh to absorb power. Only core organs, like a demon’s heart or a human’s brain, could serve that purpose.

The heart of the Archduke of Blood had been devoured by him, and his body had been killed in hell—so how could he possibly absorb the Origin of Chaos? Even if he had laid some groundwork in other Crystal Barrier Galaxies, it still shouldn’t be feasible.

Sterl found it hard to comprehend, but that didn’t stop him from making a hasty escape. The main issue was that these divine-level demons were incredibly ruthless; a casual attack could wipe out a whole bunch of minions.

Sterl had no choice but to retreat. As expected, countless bolts of thunder began to strike down on the very spot where he had just been standing, obliterating those demons and hell players who were slow to react.

“Damn! He’s gone mad!”

“Why is he doing this?”

…

Nearby, hell players were cursing wildly. Unlike the previous two divine-level demons, the Archduke of Blood was far more brutal, unleashing indiscriminate bombardments across a wide area.

The targets were clear: both hell entities and main world units were to be annihilated! There was no distinction between friend and foe!

At that moment…

Under the thunder, beneath the divine wrath, all fighting lost its meaning, and every unit below divine level was scrambling for safety.

Even…

Boom!!

The dazzling lightning washed over Sterl, and he could only see silver serpents dancing wildly before his eyes.

He was forced to use his clone skill, commanding his clone to unleash Protection Power, absorbing a moment of the onslaught just long enough for him to escape.

However, on the frontline, the casualties among the units of hell and those from the main world were catastrophic.

Countless energies and souls were extracted and absorbed into hell.

The Archduke of Blood’s inexplicable actions served only one purpose: to nourish the already battered Will of Hell.

Previously, the Will of Hell had actively controlled the demons and hell players. The death of these units would damage the Will of Hell itself, but now, as hell remained in a dormant state, all units that died there returned their soul power to hell.

In this process, the Will of Hell itself would receive considerable nourishment…

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Archduke of Blood, with his grotesque visage, observed everything, seemingly quite satisfied with the scene.

As for the retreat of the two divine-level demons, it had no effect on him whatsoever.

“Ha ha! Come again!”

“Let me show you what true power looks like—Origin of Chaos: Supreme Sky Thunder!”

He was utterly arrogant!

The two divine-level demons nearby wore grim expressions but said nothing in response. It was indeed the Origin of Chaos! Such a powerful technique allowed the Archduke of Blood, usually so calculating, to boast about his own prowess with pride!

Clearly…

The two divine-level demons deduced that the Archduke of Blood felt invincible!

At this moment, the Archduke of Blood finally—made his move!

The earlier bombardment that devastated the battlefield was merely a side effect of the Origin of Chaos.

Now…

He slowly raised his hand, the blood-red blade enveloped in condensed golden Thunder, which then transformed into a gigantic shadow of the Archduke of Blood. The size of this shadow was at least a hundred times greater than the Archduke of Blood’s real form.

Consequently…

Sterl and the other players and demons who had barely escaped the frontline looked up, their minds shaken.

There stood a colossal Thunder giant!

Its feet rooted in the ground below, its head reaching toward the heavens. It was as if the entire layer of hell was being suppressed by this imposing figure.

“Holy crap! Run!”

“We’re doomed!”

“Is the Archduke of Blood going to destroy this layer of hell?”

…

Nearby, some hell players were crying in despair.

Under the terrifying pressure of the Thunder giant, the sands and stones of hell slowly churned, and before the Thunder blade even struck, the entire world was engulfed in a scene of impending doom.

Sterl felt that…

In such a situation, he might have to use his life-saving skills again.

The Archduke of Blood’s attack style was exceedingly strange. He could have struck horizontally to severely injure the three gods of the main world, yet he chose to twist his waist and swing the blade in a full 360-degree arc!

“What grudge does he have?”

Sterl couldn’t help but silently complain. Had the Archduke of Blood returned from the dead only to go insane and kill everything in sight?

Swish!!

Even though the players still had time for banter, the speed at which the gods acted was astonishing. It seemed the Archduke of Blood had been charging up for ages, but in reality, it lasted no more than a second.

Slash!

The Thunder blade’s light spread out in a circular wave, expanding in all directions.

Sterl watched helplessly as several Supreme demons, caught too close to the action, were torn to shreds!

Life-saving items shattered in the lightning, unable to even activate; this was an absolute display of power!

With his attention intensely focused, Sterl felt the ring of energy slowly advancing toward him, and every living being along its path—

Would be turned to charcoal without even needing a direct hit from the thunder.

In that moment, he decisively…

Pressed the disk tattoo on his skin.

Change number!
