BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220: Vanquishing Jörmungandr
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…
And to overcome those hurdles, I will need to become stronger—far stronger than the current me-
FWAZOOM!
His thoughts floated around inside his head before he was suddenly interrupted by the Jörmungandr swinging around its immeasurably long tail, aiming to slice up everything as far as the eye could see!
FWIP!
Azmodeus swiftly flash-stepped as he appeared an uncountable number of GigaParsecs away from his previous location.
He continued to peruse the rest of the system notifications while watching the world light up with an effulgent eruption of green Qi.
BLING!
*Ding!* *Would you like to Assimilate the stats of the beings you just killed or roll for their abilities?*
"Do the usual."
*Ding!* *You have gained 1.5 Octovigintillion Stat Points in Strength, 2.2 Octovigintillion Points in Speed, 1.2 Octovigintillion Points in Defense, and 3.8 Octovigintillion Points in Qi.*
*Ding!* *You have acquired numerous Physique\'s, with a multitude of them in and above the Dwarf Star Transformation Rank.*
*Ding!* *You have obtained comprehensions in a plethora of Star Laws, allowing your understanding of the Laws and the subsequent Law of Syneresis to increase even further!*
*Ding!* *Your Singularity Physique has drastically improved within the Early Starshire Rank!*
*Ding!* *Your High-Star Law of Syneresis is close to achieving Level 2—the expected level-up date at the current rate of exponential progression → 20 thousand years (cave time).*
*Ding!* *You have received a large number of Racial Traits ranging from the Sky Rank all the way to the Star Radiance Rank.*
*Ding!* *Your Battle Power has improved by leaps and bounds!*
After looking over the most important of the pop-ups, Azmodeus felt an immense wave of strength wash over him.
He figured that it wouldn\'t be long before he achieved the Absolute Peak Stages of the Early Starshire Rank!
Moreover, onsidering that the Jörmungandr was of a similar level of power, it wouldn\'t be much longer till he claimed this loot bag for himself…
It was with such aspirations that he resumed his attacks on the giant serpent, unleashing sword arc after sword arc before ultimately dying.
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.*
...…
