"The gap... how could it be this vast?"
Not only the Chaos Demon God but also the Plague Demon God and the Hunger Demon God were utterly shocked. Even the countless demon gods in Chaos City were left dumbfounded at the sight before them. They simply could not believe what they were witnessing.
By their understanding, even an Overlord-level demon god such as the Lord of Chaos would need to exert considerable effort to defeat powerful entities like the Chaos Demon God, the Plague Demon God, and the Hunger Demon God.
Even if it did not require immense effort, at the very least, some degree of exertion should have been necessary.
Yet now, with nothing but a single sigh, the three great demon gods were effortlessly overwhelmed, left grievously injured. The sheer ease with which this had occurred was beyond comprehension.
Originally, they believed that, having grasped the method of cultivating as demon gods, they had gained insight into the true strength of the Chaos City Lord. They thought that, given enough time, they would eventually catch up to him.
However, witnessing this scene shattered their confidence. Even if hundreds of epochs passed, they would never be able to bridge the chasm between them.
Perhaps this gap would only continue to widen, becoming so unfathomable that they could never hope to reach him.
"Impossible!" the Chaos Demon God roared in frustration. "Chaos City Lord, you and I are both Overlord-level demon gods! Why is your strength so unfathomably superior?! Why?! I refuse to accept this! I will never accept it!"
His cries were filled with unwillingness and disbelief. He simply could not comprehend it. If they all stood at the same realm, why was the disparity so overwhelming?
The Plague Demon God and the Hunger Demon God shared the same sentiment. They had considered themselves among the strongest demon gods in existence. Yet now, they had been crushed effortlessly. How could they possibly accept such an outcome?
"Ants," Gu Chuan said indifferently as he gazed down upon them. "You do not practice Daoism. You do not comprehend the laws. You are not proficient in supranatural spell.
You are nothing but demons who indulge in self-destruction, creatures who only know how to wield brute force like reckless fools.
Against beings like you, I could slaughter ten thousand with a mere wave of my hand.
The gap between us is wider than the chaos itself.
And yet, with such pitiful strength, you dare come to my Chaos City to run amok? You are nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well, dreaming of standing shoulder to shoulder with the heavens. Any random demon god from my Chaos City could annihilate you."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
The Plague Demon God roared in fury, his face twisted in rage. "I am the Plague Demon God! I refuse to believe that you are this powerful! I am the strongest demon god in all of chaos—"
Before he could finish, Gu Chuan moved. He merely lifted a finger.
Supernatural Spell—Great Flame!
In an instant, endless flames erupted around the Plague Demon God, engulfing him in a boundless sea of fire that consumed the chaotic void itself.
But this was no ordinary fire—it was the Infinite Calamity Flame, the embodiment of endless destruction. Once ignited, it would never cease until its victim was utterly erased from existence.
"AAAAAHHHH!!! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT IMMEDIATELY!"
The Plague Demon God let out a bloodcurdling scream, more agonized than a pig being slaughtered. He had never felt such excruciating pain before. His entire body burned as the infinite calamity flame turned him into a living torch.
He struggled, releasing a vast plague mist in an attempt to extinguish the fire, but it was futile. Every single plague cell, every virus, everything he had ever created was instantly incinerated into nothingness.
Boom!
Within mere moments, his screams faded into silence. His body and soul had been reduced to nothing but ashes.
"This... this..."
The demon gods in Chaos City felt their scalps tingle with fear. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably. They could clearly feel the terrifying nature of the Infinite Calamity Flame—it was an existence that could not be resisted. If even a single spark landed on them, they would be burned out of existence instantly, leaving not even dust behind.
"Too powerful..."
The Overlord-level demon gods were in complete despair. With just a single flick of his finger, the Chaos City Lord had not only silenced the Plague Demon God but had reduced him to nothingness.
Before, that very same demon god had boasted of his invincibility, claiming to be the harbinger of plague and the bringer of death to all demon gods. And yet, in the end, he had been incinerated like mere trash.
How pathetic.
In the next moment, Gu Chuan shifted his gaze toward the remaining Chaos Demon God and Hunger Demon God.
The Chaos Demon God let out a deep growl. "We... we have indeed lost this battle.
We admit that we are not as strong as you.
But if you truly possess the confidence of an invincible being, then let us go! Allow us to leave and train in the ways of the demon gods.
After ten thousand epochs, we will return to challenge you in a true life-and-death battle! If you refuse to grant us this chance, we will never accept our defeat!"
His words were filled with desperation. He sought to stall for time, hoping to grasp new cultivation techniques, divine arts, and breakthroughs in his power before returning for vengeance.
Boom!
Before he could even finish speaking, Gu Chuan moved once more. He extended a single finger.
Supernatural Spell—Great Severance!
This was the supreme divine art of the metal laws. As the attack was unleashed, billions of void threads burst forth, forming an intricate net of destruction—the Great Severance.
"No!"
The Chaos Demon God let out a final, ear-piercing shriek. His enormous demon body was instantly sliced into countless tiny fragments, reduced to the size of mere atoms. His countless tentacles were cut apart, his very existence shattered into pieces.
Even his soul was not spared. It, too, was severed into an innumerable number of fragments.
The chaotic void trembled as space itself was torn apart, forming dense cracks that spread in every direction. Not even the Chaos Demon God's legendary defenses could withstand the power of the Great Severance.
Wherever the technique passed, all chaotic matter was sliced apart, leaving nothing behind. There was no escape. There was no resistance.
The Chaos Demon God... was dead.
Gu Chuan gazed dispassionately at the corpse that no longer even resembled its former self. This fool had actually dared to plot a battle with him after ten thousand epochs. He had even thought that if he was killed now, he could die with a sense of unwillingness.
But why should Gu Chuan care about what a dead demon god thought?
A single move had been enough to eradicate him.
What kind of idiot actually believed he would be given time to cultivate and return for vengeance? Such foolishness.
Gu Chuan had no fear of the Chaos Demon God's power. Even in ten thousand epochs, there was no possibility that he would become his equal.
For Gu Chuan, every passing moment was an evolution—his laws were completing, his strength was advancing, and soon, he would step into the Saint Realm, grasping the Dao itself.
The gap between them would only grow wider and wider.
No matter how much the Chaos Demon God struggled, he would never escape the grasp of Gu Chuan's palm.
And yet, he still had the audacity to dream of rising up? To think he would be granted time?
Laughable.
Gu Chuan never allowed threats to fester.
With a single strike, the Chaos Demon God had been erased from existence. There was no need for further trouble.
