Chapter 220: Vanquishing Jörmungandr

.......

"I know what you mean, Emperor Ku... My Empire was vaporized less than 10 minutes ago..." A different Half-Step Starshire Rank Expert muttered with furrowed brows.

It wasn't only these two who were in similar situations, as every single one of the 5+ million Amethyst Rank Experts lost everything—and they lost it all within an instant...

"Same, I t-"

Just as someone else was about to speak up, a stray arc of crimson-colored Qi blitzed toward the large metallic dome!

SHING!

The Star Radiance Rank dome was sliced in half as it exploded and turned into dust, subsequently causing the deaths of all the Amethyst Rank Hegemony's.

After which, a number of unexpected system notifications appeared in front of Azmodeus's bloodied face.

BLING!

*Ding!* *You have killed 5 million+ Amethyst Rank Masters!*

*Ding!* *Due to various attribute and stat boosters, numbering in the '1,000,000x+ range', you have obtained extraordinary amounts of Physical Existence Points!*

*Ding!* *Due to the fact that a good chunk of the beings you just killed were heroes, the amount of Physical Existence Points you just obtained has been further multiplied!*

*Ding!* *You have obtained 10.8 Octovigintillion Points in your Physical Existence Rank!*

*Ding!* *Your Physical Existence Rank has once again made great strides within the Early Starshire Rank!*

*Ding!* *Due to a relapse in the system's functions because of too much OP, the 'Cultivation Speed Booster' has been stagnant over the last 10 thousand+ years.*

*Ding!* *Because of your most recent kills and all those that came before, your Cultivation Speed Booster has improved from the '1.15x' rate to the '458.5x' rate, allowing your cultivation booster to tremendously affect your cultivation talent and efficiency!*

Following all of these system notifications, Azmodeus stopped for a moment to look over them.

While doing so, he felt a massive increase in his cultivation speed hit him all at once!

Although it came a little late, this will help greatly in the days to come, as after ascending the Astral Plane, only countless more hurdles will be left in my way...

After which, he spawned in at the nearest Primordial Checkpointer and shot straight toward the serpent, allowing no respite for his rapidly growing body!

With this routine battle set in motion, time continued to pass for those inside the Astral Plane.

...

80 years later.

It was on this day, which started out like all the rest, that Azmodeus finally lobbed the slithery head right off the neck of the mighty guardian beast, rendering it in a state of helplessness.

Although such helplessness wouldn't last for long with the insane regeneration of Jörmungandr put into the equation, it still allowed enough time for Azmodeus to grab hold of its Essence Soul and extinguish it right then and there.

Of course, he had the option to make the battle a long and drawn-out one, but there was no longer a point...

After all, he acquired the necessary strength to overcome the Guardian Beast, and he could do so without much effort on his part.

This was all to say that he achieved the utmost peak of the Early Starshire Rank, making him the third strongest being in the Astral Plane!

Nevertheless, upon the death of Jörmungandr being confirmed, a number of system notifications materialized in front of him.

BLING!

*Ding!* *You have killed the giant Omniverse Devouring Serpent known as 'Jörmungandr the Terrifying'*

*Ding!* *You have killed one of the 7 Guardian Beasts of the Astral Plane! The other six will begin to hunt you down, as you will not be able to escape their pursuit unless you permanently leave the Astral Plane.*

"There are six more of them, huh?" Azmodeus spoke with a nonchalant voice while standing atop the immeasurably long corpse of his loot bag.

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by more system notifications ringing out inside his head.

BLING!

*Ding!* *You have obtained 65 Duotrigintillion Points in your Physical Existence Rank!*

*Ding!* *The number of points you received was so large because the Jörmungandr had an extremely high Existence Value.*
