Chapter 323: Chapter 317: The Source of Heaven and Earth

The power of a hydrogen bomb with a megaton yield is terrifying enough, let alone enhanced with Godslayer substance.

The mushroom cloud rising at this moment almost overturned the sky, reaching up to a hundred kilometers, and the fireball formed exploded after expanding to its limit of several tens of kilometers.

The shockwave formed destroys everything, instantly demolishing the stone pillar seal barriers covering hundreds of kilometers.

Even after the barrier blocked the shockwave, its destructive power decreased tenfold, but still equaled a Level 20 hurricane stirring a catastrophic dust storm.

The fierce wind uprooted all trees in the suburbs, crashed into the city, demolishing buildings and high-rises, and tossed everything aside.

As the nuclear blast nearly destroyed half of Bauhinia Capital City, the explosion caused a pulse that interrupted all electronic communications in the western hemisphere, making all surveillance footage disappear instantly.

Over two hundred kilometers from the blast center, the Golden Giant Ape stands atop a mountain peak thousands of meters high.

Golden flames erupt around the Golden Giant Ape, forming a tangible gravitational field, blocking the furious shockwave several kilometers away.

Feeling the explosion’s power slowly weakening from afar, the Golden Giant Ape couldn’t help but exhale gently.

Even though the transcendent has already entered the True God era, the undeniable strength of technology is still formidable, as evidenced by the millions of Godslaying Hydrogen Bomb explosion’s sheer power.

What about those megatons or billions of tons of equivalents?

Thinking of this, even the Golden Giant Ape’s eyes reveal a hint of seriousness.

Because some top-secret documents he had seen mentioned a weapon destructive enough to annihilate stars and the planet beneath him.

Only, Jiang Hou doesn’t have enough clearance to see what specific weapon it is.

"Technology’s power can’t be underestimated." The Golden Giant Ape growled lowly, his form slightly sinking, his legs bending as a terrifying power erupted from beneath his feet.

Boom!

With the mountain peak crumbling from the counterforce, the Golden Giant Ape ascended into the sky, carrying the sonic boom’s roar as he flew against the shockwave toward the blast center.

Soon, the Golden Giant Ape appeared in the sky above the explosion’s center.

Here, the nuclear blast’s glow had already vanished, the scorching radiation spreading to form a vacuum zone of several tens of kilometers, with nothing remaining.

Even the earth had directly disappeared, forming a huge celestial crater.

The bottom of the pit, tens of thousands of meters deep, was glazed-like; it’s a crystalline structure formed from the soil and rock material under high temperature and pressure, layered and incredibly solid.

At the nuclear crater bottom lies the fragmented body of the Black Dragon Beast.

The ten-kilometer-long torso is half-destroyed by Godslayer power, exposing kilometers-long black-gold ribs suspended in the air.

The head is also completely gone, melted by the Godslayer-powered nuclear blast.

Crucially, the Golden Giant Ape feels no life force from the beast’s remains, which surprised him as he thought this beast might have some life left.

Even Akalin and the others estimated that the Godslayer nuclear blast would only seriously wound the beast, with a low probability of direct kill.

Still, it’s better that it’s dead, saving them the need to confront it.

The Golden Giant Ape’s eyes flash with ferocity, then his massive body descends from the sky, turning into a golden light and flying toward the center of the beast’s body.

With its complete demise, the Black Dragon Beast’s body ’petrifies’ at a visibly fast pace.

Rich energy escapes from the corpse’s solid muscles and bones, transforming into visible black energy blending into the air.

The Golden Giant Ape’s target is something within the beast, an unknown force making its bloodline agitated.

The Black Dragon Beast’s body is over three thousand meters high, lying on the ground after death still nearly two thousand meters tall, resembling a true mountain range.

As the Golden Giant Ape passed through several ribs towering into the sky, his gaze fell upon the beast’s heart.

Amidst the blackened stone from the nuclear blast, a white transparent light sphere with a diameter of a hundred meters slowly rotates, inside faintly revealing virtual images of blue skies and white clouds.

Suddenly, deep within the Golden Giant Ape’s body, its bloodline violently stirs, crazily transmitting the urge to eat, to devour that transparent light sphere.

Boom!

The Golden Giant Ape’s figure flickers, appearing directly within the beast’s gigantic heart cavity, his immense palm reaching for the light sphere.

Boom boom boom!!

As the giant ape’s palm touches the transparent light sphere, the mist inside roars like rushing rivers toward the Golden Giant Ape.

These mists, upon contact with the giant ape’s palm, transform into explosive energy within him, merging into his flesh, bones, and even cells.

Instantly, an overwhelmingly satisfied feeling spread from the giant ape’s body.

As if its giant beast’s body had been completed in some way.

While it seems just like a light sphere, in reality, the giant beast’s energy floods into its body, making the Golden Giant Ape’s form drastically shrink, exiting the solar state.

Whoosh whoosh!!

The Chaos Giant Ape’s body surrounded by swirling winds, hair flying, the several hundred meters tall body visibly starts expanding, its breath rapidly surging.

As the Chaos Giant Ape devours the beast’s world essence, the nuclear blast shockwave begins to gradually settle.

Just as Akalin and the others calculated, Bauhinia Capital City was nearly half-destroyed by the nuclear blast shockwave, with skyscrapers collapsed and roads shattered, mixed with some cries and wails.

Despite the Ancient God Research Institute’s considerable resources buying time, they couldn’t escape casualties from the Ninth Rank Giant Beast’s impact.

Apart from those who hid during evacuation, hoping to loot gold and silver after people left, around tens of thousands in the city center area were also caught.

"Everyone continue to evacuate beyond the city; the radiation levels in this area are too high and unsuitable for habitation."

"All official personnel, be they transcendent or ordinary soldiers, law enforcers, must give full aid to the wounded; any opportunistic lawbreakers during this chaos will be executed on the spot, no mercy."

Amidst uninterrupted communications, Akalin’s voice echoed across the city’s sky.

As the devastated city begins to operate anew, Akalin and six other Saint-level powerhouses, having sacrificed nearly all their power, flew to the nuclear blast center with Divine Palace Feirou, who could only rely on wings in the air.

Though the "detector" devices showed the beast’s energy wave had disappeared, they couldn’t be careless without seeing the beast’s body themselves.

Soon, gathering in the sky, Divine Palace Feirou flaps her three pairs of wings behind, approaching Divine Palace Feiyue’s side, speaking softly.

"Sister, how are you?"

Divine Palace Feiyue shakes her head slightly: "I’m okay, just consumed quite a bit of my essence." Then, with some relief, she says, "Thankfully Jiang Hou is here, or else..."

At this point Divine Palace Feiyue paused, with others’ expressions also showing fear.

They flew at over twice the speed of sound for almost ten minutes from over two hundred kilometers away, the first glance catching the huge crater at the explosion’s center, the beast’s remains lying at the bottom.

Within the beast already fully petrified into a black-blue mountain peak, a five hundred meter tall ferocious giant ape stands.

Most importantly, that giant ape emanates a powerful aura belonging to the Late-tier Eight.
