Chapter 471 - 234: God Slayer Darren Callum, Global Shock, The Return of the Demon King_2
“Akunus.”
Boom! Accompanied by a low growl, the air exploded, and the middle-aged man instantly transformed into a beam of white light that streaked across heaven and earth.
His abrupt action immediately caught the attention of the base to his rear, and the voice of a middle-aged man with hawk-like brows came through the headset: “General Lake, you’ve deviated from the tracking direction.”
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “I’ve sensed Akunus’s presence in another direction.”
“Akunus, what a coincidence?”
The middle-aged man with the hawk-like brows spoke gravely, “Never mind Akunus; it’s not like the Demon King Ciautorus. Its appearance this time is likely meant to draw you away.”
“Continue tracking Ciautorus. As long as Darren Callum can entangle it for a few minutes, we’ll have a chance to capture it.”
“Also, as a genius who possessed the strength of the Seventh Layer Heaven in the late stage of the Fifth Layer Heaven, Darren Callum is more important than the soul avatars of the two kings.”
“I understand,” the middle-aged man with the tiger-striped complexion paused slightly, then turned and dashed towards Mason City once more.
He no longer paid heed to the tempting aura of the Blood God far away.
However, just as he had turned because of Akunus’s delay, the headset rang out urging again, “Darren Callum has engaged Ciautorus on the outskirts of the city. Hurry and support.”
Boom!
A white light shone on the middle-aged man as he nearly took flight off the ground, shooting out amidst the thunderous sonic booms, crossing nearly a hundred kilometers in three minutes at more than twice the speed of sound. Just as he burst into Mason, a blood moon fell from the sky, causing even the middle-aged man with tiger-stripes to be startled.
“King’s Fall, how is this possible!”
Swish!
The middle-aged man quickly passed through Mason City and appeared outside the city, his gaze sweeping over the ‘weakened’ Jack Clark, then settling on the corpse of Ciautorus.
“Dead?”
Jack Clark nodded slowly, “Dead, and the phenomenon of King’s Fall even appeared.”
As beings who controlled the laws and condensed the strength of both the Divine and Demon Realms into a King-level existence, there would be a resonance between heaven and earth at the time of their death, resulting in phenomena associated with the king.
Even though it was just an avatar of the demon king that was subdued-no, dragged to death by Jack—the dissipation of the king’s soul still triggered some phenomena.
Regardless, both Jack and Lake inexplicably felt that something was amiss.
That avatar of the king died too… easily.
Yet the phenomena of King’s Fall couldn’t possibly be faked.
“Dead!”
Back at the base, as Lake confirmed the fall of Ciautorus, many were stunned.
Lake’s voice came through the comm. He said gravely, “Indeed, dead.” “Ciautorus realized that Darren’s potential was no less than that of the Innate Awakened Ones and wanted to kill him. It used its will to project a shadow of the demon icing and forcibly entered the body, raising its strength to the late seventh layer, close to the pinnacle.”
“This state only lasted for a minute before Darren dragged it to death, its physical body collapsing and the divine soul dissipating.”
And Darren… unscathed, just a little weak in aura.”
In an instant, the entire base fell silent.
A colonel couldn’t help but say, “If I remember correctly, we just updated Darren Callum’s cultivation information a few days ago, right? Middle stage of Sixth Heaven, but already has the strength of the pinnacle of the Seventh Layer Heaven?”
Jack had been assessed as a freak of nature with exceptional talent when his combat power was estimated to be in the early to mid-stages of the Seventh Heaven at the early stage of the Sixth Heaven.
Yet now, his actual combat power had reached the pinnacle of the Seventh Heaven, surpassing five minor realms. It was unimaginable how he achieved this.
Keep in mind that every cultivator who has reached the Sixth Heaven has mastered Advanced Skills to the sixth level—Great Realm, fully mastered Combat Techniques, and possesses several Secret Skills.
This was what made it all so incomprehensible.
Realm is realm, and strength is strength.
When Jack showed strength reaching the late Seventh Heaven and even the pinnacle, it meant that some aspect of his true strength had already reached the pinnacle of the Seventh Heaven.
Then a staff officer slowly said, “Since the Triplex Heaven, it is said that Darren’s physique has been extremely terrifying, and he has even cultivated low-level martial arts to the extent of the True Martial Divine Rhyme.” “When he swept through the Southern Battlefield of Eastern Summer, his cultivation was only in the late period of the Fifth Layer Heaven, but he had already cultivated Advanced Skills to an exquisite degree, and his battle body was fully developed.”
It s suspected that he awakened some incredibly powerful innate physical talent and possessed a terrifying aptitude for understanding cultivation methods, which should be the reason for his extraordinary strength.” “Eastern Summer has turned out a monster this time.”
“Indeed,” those high-ranking military officers at the base couldn’t help but marvel.
“I suggest recalling Darren Callum and send someone else. With talent like that, if there’s no accident, he is bound to ascend to the throne within five years, and he might even have a chance to reach the level of Heavenly King.” “Indeed, compared to Mathilda Ward, Darren Callum is more important to the Federation.”
“Now that he has revealed his strength, he will surely attract the full-force assassination attempts from the Purgatory Demon Race.”
“I concur.”
“I agree as well.”
At the head of the table, the hawk-browed middle-aged man, who had been silent all this while, spoke gravely, “Darren Callum’s importance is beyond doubt, I will send the suggestion for his relocation to headquarters.”
Having said that, the hawk-browed middle-aged man slightly narrowed his eyes and looked toward Berlin, his eyes pensive.
“That fool is dead?”
On a hillside in another direction outside Mason City, a seductive woman watched the distant phenomenon of the fall and couldn’t help but show a look of shock on her face.
Although she didn’t want to get involved in this baiting operation, Akunus still descended in spirit, taking possession of an intermediate Blood Emissary body that had long been lurking here.
Earlier, sensing Ciautorus’s intent to kill Darren, she revealed this pawn without hesitation to distract the Eighth Layer Expert standing by..
