One-Shot Kill

Ten meters, eight meters, five meters... As the Great Dao True Beast drew closer and closer, the purple-skinned child opened its mouth. In the next instant, its body swelled rapidly, its expanding belly pressing down so hard that the ground caved in beneath it. The moment the Great Dao True Beast crossed within three meters, the child spewed violently forward, vomiting a massive, turbulent sphere of light from its maw. From the very instant it was expelled, the sphere was already three meters wide, doubling in size with every fraction of distance it traveled. In a flash, the Great Dao True Beast collided with the sphere. The monster was immediately forced backward; even when throwing every ounce of its strength into resisting, it failed to halt its retreat. "Daoluo!" The Great Dao True Beast let out an enraged roar. Another twenty-nine seconds had passed—the Rule Aura's protection lapsed once more. In the next instant, the Great Dao True Beast's pupils dilated sharply as a dense web of fissures ruptured across its body. While the Rule Aura was active, the beast could still suffer damage from the chaos element, but the aura itself provided inherent resistance against chaos, keeping the incoming harm manageable. Yet once it lost the Rule Aura, that resistance vanished entirely, causing the chaos-element damage it suffered to multiply. If it took seventy percent chaos damage under the protection of the Rule Aura, then without it, it suffered one hundred and fifty-five percent. Boom! The sphere of light, having expanded to hundreds of meters across, detonated. Chaotic radiance instantly engulfed the Great Dao True Beast. At the same time, everything caught within the sphere's influence fell into a disordered state of pure chaos. Countless specks of matter frantically split apart, recombined, split apart, and recombined again. Because all affected matter was continuously fissioning and reforming, there was neither wind nor intense glare. Everyone present merely scrambled backward, terrified of being swept up in the detonation. After ten minutes, the explosion subsided. Everyone looked toward the blast site, their faces freezing in sheer shock. Gone! The blast had left behind nothing but an enormous crater churning with chaotic aura. The Great Dao True Beast had been one-shotted? High in the air, perched atop the back of the black dragon, Yu Xian wore an expression of astonishment. He had thought it would be impressive enough if the purple-skinned child could merely withstand the Great Dao True Beast's assault; he had never imagined it would instantly obliterate the creature instead. He quickly turned his gaze toward the purple-skinned child and pulled up its attributes. [Chaos Evil God] [Level: 60] [Skills:] [Ray of Chaos: Fires a chaotic beam toward the target, with the option to inflict paralysis, poison, confusion, mutation, or disease.] [Memetic Indoctrination: Any creature that gazes directly upon the Chaos Evil God must undergo a willpower check. Those who fail become fanatical cultists of the Chaos Evil God and suffer various bodily mutations.] [God of Violent Sacrifices: Freely incorporates followers into its own body to receive various attribute buffs, or thoroughly digests followers to restore its divine power.] [Chaos Divine Power: The Chaos Evil God commands chaotic divine power, effectively deflecting incoming attacks. Order-element attacks deal only 50% damage, while all other elements deal only 30% damage.] [Divine Power Liberation: Liberating its divine power causes the Chaos Evil God's size to swell continuously, vastly boosting its strength, speed, defense, and weight while granting immunity to knockback, launch, poison, paralysis, curses, confusion, mutation, disease, and other negative status effects of the same tier.] [Vile Theurgy: The Chaos Evil God commands all theurgic arts of the dark, blood, shadow, and chaos elements, and may bestow select theurgic arts upon other life-forms.] [Exclusive Ultimate Technique] [Primordial Chaos Cannon: Compresses the primordial chaos power within its belly to blast forth a Primordial Chaos Cannon that reduces all things back to chaos.] [Remark: An adult form of the Chaos Evil Beast. It no longer requires a protective evil beast shell, for its own body is already mighty beyond measure.] ... ... It was powerful. Yet Yu Xian had never dreamed it would be this powerful! As he reviewed the Chaos Evil God's attributes, the creature swept its peripheral gaze across its surroundings, then refrained from any superfluous action. "Little Nora, this Chaos Evil God is crazy strong. I feel like it's a bit too much to handle," Yu Xian grumbled to Little Nora after closing the status panel. In the next instant, the Chaos Evil God sensed a wave of malice descending from above and vanished on the spot. Yet immediately afterward, it froze midair. It remained fixed in a posture of high-speed motion, its right arm completely mutated into razor-sharp fingers resembling blades, elongating at blinding speed. At that exact moment, the blade tips hovered merely inches from Yu Xian's head. Little Nora jumped in fright and couldn't help squealing, "Whoa, that was close!" "As expected... Chaos Descent is a forced conscription. And since it's a forced conscription, these fellows naturally aren't on the same page with me." Yu Xian wasn't surprised at all. Looking at the fingers inches away, he merely smiled. Even though the Chaos Evil God hadn't shown the slightest sign of defiance until now, with the precedent of the black dragon Jormunid, Yu Xian had categorized it as an unreliable summon from the moment it appeared. Just now, he had merely tested the waters, and the Chaos Evil God had promptly exposed itself. It was the same standard two-step treatment: Wipe its self-awareness, then keep it as a compliant dog. Once Yu Xian settled the Chaos Evil God's 'after-sales issue,' he ordered the black dragon Jormunid to descend to the ground. The Death Emperor rushed over carrying the true form of the Chaos Evil Beast, and Xielina approached from the other side. Gathering together at the edge of the chaotic crater left behind by the Chaos Evil God, they watched the vast pit continuously splitting and reforming. Little Nora asked in confusion, "Is there no loot?" "Doesn't look like it. Or maybe the loot got destroyed along with it," Yu Xian replied, feeling a bit troubled. The Chaos Evil God's blast was simply too destructive. Although the blast radius was only a few hundred meters, it had turned that entire area into a barren deathtrap. While Yu Xian was pondering the matter, the Chaos Evil Beast cradled in the Death Emperor's arms struggled to open its eyes. It parted its mouth and let out an infantile 'hun' sound. "You want to eat?" Presumably because Yu Xian was its master, he understood what the Chaos Evil Beast meant to convey. The Chaos Evil Beast blinked with great effort. Yu Xian nodded. "All right. Death Emperor, toss the Chaos Evil Beast in there." Without hesitation, the Death Emperor dropped the Chaos Evil Beast into the crater of endlessly splitting and recombining matter. As the beast tumbled through the turbid air, mouth after mouth sprouted across its body. All of these mouths opened slightly, inhaling an invisible current drawn from the churning, unstable matter. As this energy was siphoned away, the surrounding earth and air began to stabilize. A few minutes later, the Chaos Evil Beast had drawn in every last trace of that current. The ground returned to normal, and the air cleared to its original state. Though grievously weakened after being rammed by the Great Dao True Beast, the Chaos Evil Beast had now completely recovered, clambering back onto its feet.
