Ch. 601The Demon's True Body Descends?
Key plot points
- Chu Han realizes the demon he is fighting is only a projection: the universe’s barrier has kept its true body out.
- Confident that the projection cannot match his Immortal Divine Body, Chu Han presses the attack. He withstands its opposing forces of creation and destruction, then crushes its head with a fist empowered by fifty million stars and four Origin Laws.
- Using Spacetime Folding and spatial replication, he multiplies a single follow-up punch across countless layers of space, destroying the projection completely.
- Chu Han absorbs the projection’s deep-blue energy, raising his Stellar Power to the equivalent of one hundred million stars. The demon domain’s collapse stops, and the Secret Realm becomes still.
- As Chu Han expects the trial to be over, a colossal rift opens in the domain’s boundary. A vastly more powerful demon begins forcing its way through.
Character development
- Chu Han shifts from relief at discovering the demon is only a projection to decisive confidence, using his strength and spatial mastery to finish the fight.
- His power grows dramatically after absorbing the projection, but the arrival of the true body makes clear that his new strength may still be inadequate.
Character interactions
- Chu Han and the demon projection engage in a one-sided contest of endurance and force: its attacks fail to penetrate his Divine Body, and his replicated strike destroys it before it can recover.
- Chu Han’s victory is abruptly interrupted by the apparent arrival of the demon’s true body, setting up a far more dangerous confrontation.
Significant themes
- Projection versus true power: defeating an avatar does not eliminate the greater threat behind it.
- Escalation and uncertainty: apparent victory turns into renewed danger.
- Strength through conflict: Chu Han gains immense power from the battle, yet faces an enemy on a scale beyond what he has encountered.
