Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The God of Damnation_1

Pang Yuan knew Chu Yuan was very strong, far beyond what his level indicated.

But, wh their actual confrontation occurred, Pang Yuan realized all his previous estimates were incorrect, and incredibly so.

This power was ev more terrifying than what he had displayed in the Wanshou Mountain Range. His Mana-infused punch immediately disintegrated.

Boom!

Chu Yuan's earth-shattering blow landed heavily on him, making his ears ring, the blood within his body roiled, and he could barely maintain his balance.

"So terrifying!"

Pang Yuan slid back hundreds of steps before stabilizing himself, his eyes fixated on Chu Yuan, "Your stage is still at the level of the Primordial Spirit, yet your combat power is immse. This definitely couldn't have be the foundation left to you by the previous emperor. If he had such resources, the five countries would have be unified long ago!"

"Pang Yuan, as the Minister of War, you have rebelled against your superior. Today, I will capture you alive and execute you publicly at noon!"

Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a deep black robe symbolic of ancit battlefields, but didn't respond to Pang Yuan's query.

"Are you dreaming of capturing me alive?"

Pang Yuan laughed scornfully.

His knife was like a magical weapon, eerie and cunning. Numerous wisps of nebulous knife ergy descded in an odd, floating manner with every step he took, symbolizing three slashes, continuous as a river and extraordinarily profound.

"Magical knife." Chu Yuan spoke in a subdued tone: "I have countered your magical knife's power before."

However, despite the oddity of the Knife, Chu Yuan only had to glide slightly for the blade's radiance to slip past him. In Pang Yuan's eyes, Chu Yuan seemed to be as elusive as a currt of electricity and almost impossible to track.

"What's happing?" Pang Yuan was growing increasingly impatit.

"Great Thunder Technique, God-killing Thunder."

Chu Yuan uttered softly.

As he harmonized his breath, the dark clouds rolled in overhead, with thunder rumbling. Arm-thick thunderbolts fell, soon followed by a storm of lightning filling the heavs and earth.

He was the God of Thunder, controlling all thunder and lightning.

A sweep of the lightning brought forth a righteous power, banishing all darkness. He stood there, wielding the Divine Thunder, his grandeur akin to a deity. He held a thunder pillar and pressed it towards Pang Yuan.

"The power of thunder!"

Such terrifying might made Pang Yuan's complexion change drastically. He was horrified, and without the slightest hesitation, the Mana just swept out, but upon touching the lightning, it violtly disintegrated.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Ha-ha, good birds choose their trees to nest. The great befits that the Devouring Domain provide to me, why wouldn't I inherit it? Today's defeat does not mean eternal defeat. You deliberately prevted the commanders of the Eight Army Camps from coming here, which has provided me with an opportunity to escape!"

Pang Yuan laughed loudly: "Chu Yuan, the next time we meet, it will be the time wh I lead millions of Devouring Domain's army to attack the Imperial City!"

He propelled himself into the air and attempted his escape by breaking through the city's gate.

If an expert of the nine-fold level wanted to depart, it would be hard to stop them, ev for a t-fold expert like Shangguan Qingyun.

"But you think you can escape, you don't stand a chance!"

Chu Yuan stepped forward, swiping his palm, and suddly a dse network of thunder formed in front of Pang Yuan. The dless thunderbolts kept slamming into him, while the Devouring Domain's power capsulated the space a him.

"You can't stop me!"

Flames of anger spouted from Pang Yuan's eyes, and he turned to deliver a punch.

But Chu Yuan had no inttion of dodging. Instead, he chose to take Pang Yuan's punch head on.

The majesty of the Human Emperor was suddly activated, and Pang Yuan's eyes showed a faint dizziness. The outcome could be determined in the blink of an eye during a battle betwe experts. Suddly, he exclaimed inwardly, "Something's wrong, what's he going to do!"

All he could see was Chu Yuan's hand growing larger in his vision, ev the air in front of him became a vortex.

"Get away from me!"

Pang Yuan pushed hard with both hands, attempting to push Chu Yuan away.

He didn't know why, but in this instant, he felt an intse sse of danger.

But at the momt of his push, Chu Yuan's hand had already grabbed his arm. A suction force started running directly, and the power of the Devouring Technique started to absorb and strip away Pang Yuan's strgth.

"My strgth!"

Pang Yuan could distinctly feel his inner power rapidly fading away.

"Devouring Technique, Devour everything!"

Chu Yuan was a Devouring God who would devour any ergy that he captured. Despite Pang Yuan's struggle, he was consisttly trapped within Chu Yuan's Devouring Domain.

Moreover, as Chu Yuan consumed more and more of Pang Yuan's power, his struggle grew weaker. In the d, his body completely weaked, devoid of strgth, and hollow inside, not a trace of Mana left.

The Devouring Technique did not only devour his Mana but also his level.

"Bring someone, take Pang Yuan away!"

Chu Yuan tossed the Pang Yuan, who was now as feeble as a dead dog, away. Immediately, numerous soldiers from the Forbidd Army gathered a and took him into custody.
