Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast-Chapter 1887 - 704_2

"Years ago, an immortal supremacist of the Eighth Heavenly Realm ventured deep into the battlefield and, upon their departure, left a seal in the Seventh Layer, entrusting us, who were only at the Primordial Stars Realm at the time, to guard it."

"That immortal stated that Denny Kaye was far too dangerous—unless forged into an eternal undying body, touching it meant certain death and would ignite a Great Calamity."

"Our mission has always been to block all creatures carrying the Netherworld Qi from descending, even those eternal strong ones who come to explore."

"To this end, that supreme being bestowed upon us two powerful Decrees, enough to withstand eternity."

"Alas, so many years have passed, and the power of those two Decrees has been mostly consumed—they can no longer traverse realms." At this point, Gu Tower spoke with a faint trace of regret in his tone.

Then Gu Tower solemnly turned to Jack Clark: "The proof you seek is simple—did it not claim we are Denny Kaye’s tentacles? Then let it and I simultaneously reveal our Soul Source forms."

"Having been tainted with Netherworld Qi, its essence of life has already been twisted—impossible to conceal."

Immediately, Sparkling Heaven True Emperor and others glanced slightly, nodding subtly in agreement with this proposition.

Regardless of whether it is a transcendent strong man, a mythical divine object, or a primordial being, strength, aura, appearance, and soul can all be altered—yet the Soul Source alone cannot be hidden.

It is the truest essence of a life, representing everything, including its concealed true name.

Thus, Jack Clark did not speak but simply stood silently, gazing at the silver-blue figure. Seeing this, the eternal strong one sneered coldly.

"The burst of that powerful force earlier, although well disguised, I still sensed traces of Denny Kaye’s presence above."

"Since you are not afraid to reveal your original forms, do you think I would hesitate?"

The eternal strong one acted decisively—faced with Jack Clark, whose power rivaled its prime, and seeing no easy escape, it revealed its Soul Source without hesitation.

The towering projection, tens of millions of kilometers tall, crumbled at the chest, forming a colossal hollow measuring hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Within the hollow, blue starlight rotated like a nebula, encapsulating an icy-blue figure, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, somewhat resembling the eternal strong one.

Upon beholding the icy-blue figure, all present subconsciously had a name surface in their minds.

"Luo Jia," the true name of this eternal strong one.

However, half of its essence was submerged in black-gray power, with its face horrifically twisted, sprouting countless black, hair-like tentacles writhing incessantly.

As for its body, the lower half was chaotic—legs extended up to its shoulders, split into a bizarre eight-petal chrysanthemum formation, revealing sharp teeth buried in the blackened flesh.

The torso, exposed ribs, was overtaken by flesh splitting into countless blood worms, crawling along bones or weaving through energy-transformed organs.

At the bottom, claws turned into warped hands—in both forward and reversed directions, small faces contorted in agony, writhing and hollow-eyed, evoking a deep sense of dread in onlookers.

Such a grotesque scene left many of the different races shocked and their scalps numb with terror.

The Netherworld Qi was utterly dreadful—even eternal strong ones could not resist its erosion, corrupting their lives and twisting their souls.

Sparkling Heaven True Emperor’s expression grew solemn; in a low voice, he murmured to Jack Clark, "This is indeed Netherworld Qi—troublesome. If its corruption completes, it will become dominated by Denny Kaye’s power."

"Should it summon Denny Kaye’s descent or even awaken one of those terrifying Nine Nether Monsters, every surrounding civilization will be within its grasp."

Luo Jia’s icy gaze locked upon Gu Tower and another figure, his voice deep and resonating across the Void: "Weren’t you seeking to prove your innocence? I’ve displayed my essence—now it’s your turn."

"What’s there to fear?"

Gu Tower’s calm eyes met Gu Duo’s shattered silhouette, and they exchanged a slight nod.

Suddenly!

Their chests exploded, creating similarly colossal hollows, surrounded by white blood mist winding around spectral white projections.

Their essence forms bore little resemblance to the current white-haired, white-clothed "Human Race" appearances.

Humanoid forms sat cross-legged, heads morphing into white dragon heads—hornless, yet crowned with flowing white manes that moved unnaturally, appearing peculiar.

As these forms materialized, names surfaced in everyone’s consciousness.

"Cloud, Teng!"

Unlike Luo Jia’s polluted essence, Gu Tower and Gu Duo’s forms appeared translucent due to severe injuries yet entirely untainted.

"Impossible!!" Luo Jia screamed in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at the pure essence forms of the two, utterly stunned.

At its lofty cultivation and realm, detecting wrongly was unthinkable—earlier, the duo’s deadly strike injured its Divine Soul Intent, surging with Denny Kaye’s power.

How could their sixth Heavenly Realm powers obliterate twenty percent of its Divine Soul Intent otherwise?

Yet their Soul Sources remained untouched by the corrupted forces of Denny Kaye—or rather, any essence-defying pollution.

"Everyone, does this not affirm the truth I have spoken?" Gu Tower’s gaze swept over the crowd.

A massive figure composed of red primordial flames nodded slowly: "I trust Gu Tower’s words—this eternal strong one has succumbed to Denny Kaye’s corruption. It cannot be permitted to leave today."

Silver-winged Heavenly Ant Supreme spoke gravely: "The spread of Netherworld Qi cannot be allowed."

Strongmen of various races nodded in agreement, forming an intangible yet formidable encirclement surrounding the towering silver-blue presence, preparing collective suppression.

Displaying both Soul Sources had confirmed much of Gu Tower’s claims among the witnesses.

Yet the Netherworld Qi remained problematic. Only Jack Clark and the fearsome Doomsday Emperor Dragon could truly resist and potentially resolve it, drawing everyone’s subconscious focus upon the Human Race’s position.

Jack Clark’s towering figure stood unwavering, instead deep in contemplation while observing the black-gray energy infecting Luo Jia’s essence form.

This power inspired dread, capable even of eroding eternal beings—but to Jack Clark, its threat was bearable.

Its nature, at its core, aligned with the Void.

With the awakening of the Void Double Pupils talent, mastery of Void Rules, and countless evolutionary transformations, Jack Clark’s True Body had already partially merged with the Void.

Thus, Jack Clark’s concern did not lie with the Netherworld Qi—it lay with what lay above.

Amidst numerous scrutinizing gazes, Jack Clark finally spoke, his voice steady: "What lies above?"

Above.

The silver-blue figure froze momentarily, casting wary glances at the hostile surrounding strongmen before letting traces of fear escape into its tone.

"Above lies the graveyard—a burial site for over a dozen eternal strong ones."

"When we ascended, the Nine Nether Monster entrenched above subdued us, devouring our true forms as nutrients for its growth—all buried within the black burial soil."

"And I wasn’t lying—the link above leads not to supreme chaos but to Denny Kaye—there is no legendary eighth or ninth level."

"Or perhaps once, the cracks in the supreme chaos were breached—but now repaired, leaving only a massive Denny Kaye crack and the monstrosity lurking above that..."

Luo Jia’s words were abruptly interrupted as Gu Tower hurriedly interjected: "Supreme Divine Martial, do not trust its words—its mind is already corrupted by Denny Kaye..."

Before Gu Tower could finish, Jack Clark raised an eyebrow, clenching his right fist.

Boom!

Under Jack Clark’s single punch, chaos erupted—heaven and earth ruptured, leaving Gu Tower and Gu Duo’s positions engulfed in a colossal vacuum hollow spanning millions of kilometers.

Under the unstoppable force of Supreme Divine Power’s Vacuum Annihilation, the two heavily wounded supreme beings shattered instantly, obliterated.
