The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1331: Great Shen Empire: Souta vs. Thousand Earth and Kers Time I

In the sky near the devastated Yunze City, Alexander and Ice Death had been fighting all this time. However, they finally paused their battle.

They emerged from the pocket dimension and turned their gazes toward the floating central region.

Alexander’s expression grew grim.

“A Monster Lord…? How could a being like that appear here?”

He could hardly believe what was happening. Higher beings were elusive, rarely revealing themselves to the world. Yet, one had appeared here, in the Great Shen Empire.

What had attracted its attention?

And why?

Alexander glanced around, his mind racing as he realized the implications of this sudden appearance. The entire country could be caught up in the catastrophe that was about to unfold.

The Heavenly Court would undoubtedly be alarmed by the appearance of a Monster Lord.

Moreover, judging from the sheer magnitude of the energy radiating from it, this Monster Lord was far stronger than an ordinary one. No, its energy fluctuations were so terrifying that they might even rival the power Alexander had possessed at world past life.

A battle between higher beings was about to erupt.

Although the Great Shen Empire was far from the Heavenly Court, several first-rate sects were scattered throughout the surrounding thousand-kilometer radius. The higher beings residing within those sects would undoubtedly sense the overwhelming burst of energy emanating from the descending Monster Lord.

Once the Heavenly Court received reports of a Monster Lord appearing in the Great Shen Empire, its higher beings would act immediately. They wouldn’t send mortals to investigate such a threat. Instead, they would descend upon the region themselves.

However, what Alexander didn’t know was that a group from the Heavenly Court was already stationed in the central region.

They simply hadn’t had the opportunity to send a report back.

Worse still, the formation enveloping the region was interfering with their transmissions, cutting them off from the outside world.

“We have to get as far away from here as possible.”

Alexander turned to Ice Death, only to find that he was equally shocked.

Judging from Ice Death’s expression, he clearly hadn’t known that a Monster Lord would descend upon this place.

This wasn’t part of their plan.

Ice Death’s heart pounded wildly against his chest. His eyes remained fixed on the floating central region, his expression frozen in disbelief.

“D-Did the plan fail…?!”

His voice trembled as a dreadful thought crept into his mind.

Just what was happening in the central region?

…

A few moments ago, in the central region.

Three blinding lights flashed above the Royal Capital, illuminating the devastated landscape below.

They were Souta, Kers Time, and Thousand Earth.

Darkness spread across the sky, swallowing everything in its path. Kers Time and Thousand Earth unleashed their powerful abilities to suppress the encroaching darkness, their energy clashing violently against Souta’s overwhelming power.

Facing two formidable opponents at once, Souta remained calm. He gripped his sword tightly as darkness crept across his armor, gradually engulfing his body in an ominous shroud.

Swoosh!!

Kers Time and Thousand Earth moved simultaneously, flanking Souta from the left and right. Their speed was astonishing. In less than a second, both had closed the distance and appeared just a few meters away from him.

Souta glanced at the two before abruptly launching himself toward Thousand Earth.

A massive boulder erupted from the ground, blocking his path.

Souta didn’t even slow down.

[Darkness Cleaver]!!

His sword swept through the air, releasing a dark blade that cleaved the boulder in half. Before the shattered fragments could scatter, Thousand Earth reacted by throwing a powerful punch straight at him.

Souta swiftly ducked beneath the incoming fist, feeling the force of the blow tear through the air above his head. He closed the distance and drove his elbow viciously into Thousand Earth’s stomach.

“Ugh!”

Thousand Earth groaned as the impact forced the air from his lungs.

Souta twisted his body and unleashed a brutal kick toward Thousand Earth’s chin. At the same time, the four spider-like limbs floating behind him shifted into position, their sharp tips glinting ominously.

In the next instant, Kers Time appeared behind him and drove his fist into the four spider limbs.

“Tch!”

Kers Time clicked his tongue in annoyance when his punch failed to break through their defense. The four limbs had intercepted his attack, preventing him from reaching Souta’s body.

He immediately shifted to the side.

However, the four spider limbs parted, revealing a blade of concentrated darkness gathering behind them.

The dark energy blade shot toward Kers Time without warning.

[Time Barrier]!!

BOOM!!

A deafening explosion ripped through the sky.

Darkness surged outward, swallowing the surrounding space as the collision sent violent shock waves sweeping across the central region. The air twisted, and the landscape below trembled beneath the overwhelming force of their clash.

Kers Time’s expression hardened.

He immediately manipulated time, rewinding the affected space to a moment before the darkness had spread into it. The restored space pushed back against the encroaching darkness, creating a brief opening amid the chaotic battlefield.

Souta narrowed his eyes as he watched Kers Time manipulate the flow of time. He glanced to the side and saw Thousand Earth charging toward him, his massive fist gathering an immense amount of energy.

Their bodies erupted with overwhelming power, sending violent waves of energy rippling through the sky.

“Blood Lightning Monster!”

“You wanted to fight us, right? Then let me give you what you asked for!”

The two attacked simultaneously, closing in on Souta from both sides.

[Destruction Time Blade]!!

[Mountain Demolition Finger]!!

Kers Time and Thousand Earth launched a devastating pincer attack.

A continuous barrage of strikes descended from every direction, each attack aimed directly at Souta. Their movements were perfectly coordinated, leaving no gaps in their assault. Every possible escape route was sealed off, and even the surrounding space had been calculated to prevent him from slipping away.

There was nowhere to run.

There was no room to dodge.

Even the flow of time and the fabric of space had been accounted for.

Boulders surged forward with enough force to shatter space itself, while an energy blade tore through the flow of time. Their combined attacks converged on Souta from opposite directions, threatening to crush him beneath their overwhelming might.

And yet…

Souta remained unfazed.

He released the sword in his hand and brought his palms together.

In the next instant, blood-colored lightning crackled violently around his body. The crimson arcs twisted and coiled, illuminating his armor as an oppressive aura erupted from within him.

Then, the blood-colored lightning exploded outward.

Countless crimson threads burst into existence, piercing through the fabric of space. They spread in every direction, weaving an intricate web of destruction that engulfed the surrounding battlefield.

BANG!!

The crimson threads collided with the incoming attacks.

Darkness surged through the web, intertwining with the blood-colored lightning as the two forces tore through everything in their path. The combined power shattered all resistance, ripping apart the carefully calculated pincer attack and annihilating the overwhelming barrage aimed at Souta.

Against such devastating might, even the coordinated assault of two formidable experts was rendered futile.

The Blood Lightning Monster had overcome it.

As he always had.

Humans, demis, monsters…

It didn’t matter what they were. Those who dared to challenge him had witnessed the same terrifying truth.

The Blood Lightning Monster defeated those who stood in his way, overcoming impossible odds and accomplishing what others could only dream of.

He was the monster who made the impossible possible.

The Only One.

The true Blood Lightning Monster.

An Emperor among monsters.

Kers Time and Thousand Earth widened their eyes as the crimson web swallowed their attacks. Before they could fully comprehend what had happened, a tremendous force slammed into their bodies, sending them hurtling backward.

Both raised their arms instinctively, struggling to withstand the impact as their bodies trembled beneath the overwhelming pressure.

“Incredible… Truly magnificent…”

For the first time, they had experienced his might firsthand.

This was the power of the legendary monster.

The one and only Blood Lightning Monster.

Swoosh!!

Thousand Earth and Kers Time stabilized themselves in midair, their bodies sliding backward before they finally came to a halt.

They exchanged a brief glance, both understanding that this battle wouldn’t be easy. Even with two of them working together against a single opponent, defeating the Blood Lightning Monster would be far more difficult than they had anticipated.

Thousand Earth wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and narrowed his eyes.

“We need to take this seriously. This won’t be an easy battle.”

“I know. I’m just impressed by his strength.” Kers Time nodded, his expression turning solemn. “It’s been a while since I’ve encountered someone like him.”

On the other side, Souta slowly opened and closed his hand, feeling fatigue creeping into his body. His fingers trembled slightly as he assessed his condition.

‘My class has leveled up, and I’ve gotten stronger, but fighting these two together still won’t be easy.’

Souta raised his head and stared directly at Kers Time and Thousand Earth. He could feel the immense energy boiling within their bodies, gathering like pressure building beneath a volcano. At any moment, either of them could unleash another devastating attack.

He couldn’t afford to underestimate them.

‘It’s time to increase my strength further.’
