Chapter 741: Chapter 463: The Miracle Reappears

Thousands upon thousands of star-like radiances rose from the Gaia Land, gathering in one place amidst a passionate call.

A grand melody swelled within their souls, turning blood into scorching magma that pulsed and surged hotly through their veins.

The song of the King of Music drifted from the distant horizon. It was mournful yet soaring, a lament recounting the legendary epic adventures and immortal struggles of heroic souls from ages past. Within the soul-shaking melody, a flame seemed to ignite upon the Sword of Ten Thousand Kings, erupting with a fiery brilliance too intense to behold.

The color instantly drained from Zhou Chen’s body, replaced by the same magnificent, brilliant gold as the Sword of Ten Thousand Kings.

Then, the Sword of Ten Thousand Kings fell. It unstoppably cleaved the Abyssal Incarnation in two. The dazzling divine radiance of its power covered everything. The Authority of destruction and the End descended, enough to turn even a black hole to dust.

In the expanding hurricane, the two halves of the Abyssal Incarnation’s body disintegrated into dust. But in the next second, it leaped out from the Black Sun, wearing the guise of the first King of Gaia. A dark version of the Sword of Ten Thousand Kings smashed down toward Zhou Chen’s head.

The blades clashed. A shockwave powerful enough to destroy a city radiated in all directions. The Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace trembled violently, threatening to collapse.

Zhou Chen’s gaze was calm. He deflected the blade, unleashing immense force to knock away the Dark Heavy Sword in the Abyssal Incarnation’s hands.

SWISH!

With a whistle of displaced air, the Demon-Breaking Sword thrust from the side. But the Abyssal Incarnation reacted with incredible speed, solidifying a black hole vortex into a Shield to block the dangerous strike. A terrifying suction force then emanated from the Black Hole Round Shield, pulling at the Demon-Breaking Sword.

Essence surged. The Demon-Breaking Sword vanished, replaced by the Hammer of Forging, which was covered in ancient, primordial fire runes.

The Molten Fire ignited. The Hammer of Forging struck the Black Hole Round Shield. With a crisp CRACK, the Black Hole Round Shield was instantly solidified before shattering into pieces.

But in the instant Zhou Chen mobilized his Authority, the Abyssal Incarnation drew a Dark Longsword from its leg armor and thrust it at his heart.

With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Chen swung the Hammer of Forging in a clever arc. He parried the Dark Longsword with the hammer’s head and continued the motion to smash toward the Abyssal Incarnation. The Dark Longsword instantly disintegrated into dust.

The Abyssal Incarnation retreated hastily, dodging the descending hammer.

Silently, Zhou Chen vanished. He reappeared behind the Abyssal Incarnation. Berserk killing intent gathered in his burning fist as he threw it without reservation. Thunder boomed, and space shattered into a dense web of dark fissures.

However, the advancing Iron Fist stopped dead in its tracks.

The Abyssal Incarnation’s arm twisted unnaturally. Its five fingers shot out and clamped tightly around the Iron Fist. An earth-shattering roar and a hurricane erupted from the point of impact.

The Black Sun in the sky suddenly groaned as if under immense strain. Cracks spread across its surface, making it look like a shattered egg. A viscous, ink-black liquid dripped from the fissures. Each drop contained a vast amount of abyssal sediment and calamity, extinguishing a patch of the Molten Fire and transforming the area into a foul source of corruption.

At that moment, the Abyssal Incarnation’s head and entire body flipped around in an instant. It held Zhou Chen’s fist in a vise grip, a savage grin on its face. A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from its body, locking Zhou Chen in place. A Dark Longsword stabbed out, piercing his heart.

After devouring the flesh of the first King of Gaia, the Abyssal Incarnation had mastered his martial arts, undefeated in ten thousand battles. Close-quarters combat with Zhou Chen was precisely the scenario it had most wanted to see.

’No matter how skilled you are, you upstart kid, how could you possibly be better than the King of Gaia, who was undefeated in ten thousand battles?’

A cold sneer formed on the Abyssal Incarnation’s face, but it froze a moment later.

Zhou Chen’s figure grew illusory and indistinct, finally dissipating into nothing. It was just a Clone created by the Emotional Outburst Gloves.

The Abyssal Incarnation was instantly on high alert. A brilliant light surged behind it, outlining a figure. The Sword of Ten Thousand Kings, wreathed in radiant flames, was smashing down at its head.

In a panic, it raised its Heavy Sword to block while retreating. As expected, the dark version of the Sword of Ten Thousand Kings was shattered.

At that moment, Authority was invoked.

Space warped, pulling them closer. The Abyssal Incarnation’s retreat was rendered useless. The impact of the Hammer of Forging landed upon the Evil God’s shell.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A continuous series of terrifying booms erupted, becoming a drumbeat that overlapped with the vast melody, playing a solemn hymn of praise.

Numerous dents appeared on the Abyssal Incarnation’s body, as if it were a piece of iron being hammered. It quickly became unrecognizable, its form shrinking continuously.

Zhou Chen’s movements didn’t stop. The Hammer of Forging fell like a torrential storm. Under the ravages of his Authority, a sickening cracking sound came from within the Abyssal Incarnation’s body. The shell formed of Darkness began to solidify, becoming like steel.

It was thus stripped from the domain of Dark Essence and given a tangible, physical form.

Even more terrifyingly, its Soul and shell were being fused together by the hammering. Its powerful Recovery Ability and regenerative capabilities came to an end. As long as this body was destroyed, the Abyssal Incarnation would truly die.

In its terror, the Abyssal Incarnation let out a piercing shriek. Viscous Darkness gushed from its body, covering everything.

But in the next second, the Darkness boiled. A burning blade tore through every obstacle, bringing with it the light.

A pure light, shaped like the silhouette of a mountain range, slowly rose from within the Darkness.

Outside Gaia, atop the Holy Mountain, dozens of Kings of Music appeared. Each played an instrument, weaving together a solemn and sacred melody. Following her lead, the Light-Seeking Saintesses opened their mouths to sing. Their gentle, pleasant voices spread out layer by layer, reaching the ears of every bewildered citizen of Gaia.

The Holy Song ignited a flame in everyone’s heart. As the first person began to murmur the words, more and more people joined the grand chorus—a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million... Their mighty voices became a soul-shaking tidal wave, forming a passionate anthem that shook heaven and earth.

TAP, TAP, TAP...

The King of Music danced elegantly on the Ascension Ladder. With every footstep, she drew closer to the gates of the Divine Forbidden Area.

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace, a magnificent melody soared.

Amidst the chorus of a million people, the blessing of the King of Music underwent an unimaginable transformation, endlessly elevating Zhou Chen’s Power.

The world itself seemed to change color. Light burned like fire. When Zhou Chen raised the Sword of Ten Thousand Kings, all of its immense power converged on the blade’s edge.

The final judgment and verdict had arrived.

The blade fell. The world fell silent, and everything turned into a vast expanse of white.

After a long time, everything gradually returned to normal. The flames within the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace burned brightly, but there was no sign of the Abyssal Incarnation or the Black Sun.

They had been reduced to ash and smoke.

"I have fulfilled your long-cherished wish," Zhou Chen murmured softly.

The thousands of points of light representing the lingering regrets of the heroic souls gradually dissipated in the wind. At the same time, streams of brilliant and magnificent Star Dust drifted over, converging into a flowing river of stars.

This was the Wish Value from the heroic souls of the past.

The King of Music, who had led the million-person chorus, also underwent her own transformation. At the climax of the holy anthem, she stepped onto the final stair of the Ascension Ladder, arrived before the gates of the Divine Forbidden Area, reached out her hand, and pushed.

A sliver of light shot out from the crack in the door.

[Wish Value +100,000]

Zhou Chen saw the system prompt and knew with certainty that the King of Music had successfully completed her Ascension to Divinity.

"And now..."

He took a deep breath and spoke his own wish:

"——Let me be crowned king."

The light of the Great Miracle bloomed once more!
