“Open up!”

Wang Chong tensed up his entire body, mustering all the power he could as he joined Divine Embryo 1 in unleashing the strongest attack of his life.

“As expected, Origin Supreme really did manage to find you.”

Heaven’s voice came from above, majestic and largely unperturbed.

“Alas, you’re still a little lacking. A firefly is still a firefly. All your martial arts were passed down by Us, so how could you possibly match Us?

“Be destroyed, Child of Destruction!”

Heaven’s terrifying power was like the blazing sun, flooding the world with light and making all things seem dim by comparison.

A moment later, another kind of energy swelled up within Heaven’s already powerful attack.

As Wang Chong looked on, that red light suddenly became red and black, the two colors spinning around each other like Yin Yang Fish.

“The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art! How?!”

Wang Chong was utterly shaken.

He had reached the apex of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art and was far too familiar with this first supreme art that he had learned.

The power Heaven had used was undoubtedly the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, but it seemed to be of an even higher level.

Wang Chong had relied on his intelligence to improve the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art and fix its flaws, but what Heaven had used was the ultimate version of the art.

Yin and Yang were the heavens and earth. In essence, they were spacetime.

That red and black light filling the world contained so many dimensions that Wang Chong couldn’t even count them all.

One could say that Wang Chong had been pursuing it all this time but had never been able to reach it.

But Heaven had easily pulled it off in front of Wang Chong.

The annihilative energy produced when Yin and Yang collided against space and time was enough to horrify anyone.

The winds howled as that terrifying energy flooded down.

Wang Chong’s heart sank to rock bottom.

Heaven’s strength was far more frightening than anyone could imagine. Even though his original body was sealed, his avatar could still unleash an overwhelming amount of energy.

Wang Chong suddenly somewhat understood why Essence Supreme was merely watching from the sidelines. It was less out of respect for Heaven and more out of absolute confidence in Heaven’s strength.

Wang Chong’s forehead creased as he felt the stifling scent of death assailing his nostrils.

But it was too late for Wang Chong to do anything, even dodge, for Heaven and Essence Supreme had completely sealed off the area.

Rumble!

As this immense energy descended, spacetime trembled. But just when it seemed like Wang Chong and his Divine Embryo 1 were about to be heavily injured, even killed, by Heaven’s attack...

Buzz!

A powerful vibration came from beneath the Wang Family Residence, and a familiar voice rang out in Wang Chong’s ears.

“Master, I’ll help you!”

This energy had been hiding underground for a long time, and this sudden eruption of power was something that not even Essence Supreme’s seal could withstand.

Bzzz! A familiar figure wearing earthen yellow armor jumped out of the ground and in front of Wang Chong.

“Little Nightmare!”

Wang Chong’s eyes widened. He had left Little Nightmare in the capital before heading off to Sindhu, and he had never imagined that it would come charging out of the ground!

“Wicked devil! You hurt Little Grass, and you hurt my master!

“I won’t let you go!”

The moment Little Nightmare charged out, it made for Heaven’s location.

Its body was seething with a rare loathing.

Wang Chong had never seen Little Nightmare like this before.

This unending hatred took the form of thick black energy that erupted from Genesis Supreme’s body.

Bolstered by its hatred, the Nightmare Beast was more powerful and terrifying than ever before.

“Master! I’ll cover you! Run!

“I’ve already lost one master! I won’t lose a second!

“Explode!”

Little Nightmare’s voice resounded through the world.

At that moment, Little Nightmare detonated this Grotto Heaven realm body.

And besides that, Little Nightmare also erupted all of its Psychic Energy.

“It’s a Nightmare Beast!”

This terrifying destructive storm of Psychic Energy made even Essence Supreme pale.

Unlike the other Supremes, Essence Supreme was a purely psychic existence. Though he had many avatars, he used those avatars like one would use different sets of clothes.

Essence Supreme was essentially a soul.

Though the explosion of Little Nightmare’s physical body couldn’t harm him, that self-detonation of Psychic Energy was an immense threat to his psychic body.

In terms of mental strength, the Nightmare Beast could be considered fully mature. Even Essence Supreme was not willing to directly take this sort of terrifying explosion.

Boom!

Chaotic energy mixed with Psychic Energy spread out through the area. The Wang Family Residence had been enclosed in a red barrier, but Little Nightmare’s self-detonation immediately caused cracks to appear.

A massive hole was quickly punched through the formerly sturdy domain.

“Bastard! Destroying my domain!” Essence Supreme explosively bellowed in fury.

Though he was a mental existence similar to the Nightmare Beast, he looked down on this sort of ‘lower-class’ mental creature.

He had slain countless of these Nightmare Beasts in a long-ago era, extracting their essence and refining them into pills to be used by Heaven and the twelve Supremes.

To be forced into such a battered state by a single Nightmare Beast, even having his domain shattered with Heaven watching, was something he would not stand for.

“Myriad Formations Essence Ruler! Seal!”

That golden light that was Essence Supreme flashed, and an ancient ivory ruler appeared. There were many ancient golden inscriptions on this ruler, and its hallowed and divine form pulsed with energy.

The Ruler of Essence Supreme!

This was Essence Supreme’s personal ritual tool, the strongest product of a certain epoch.

Essence Supreme sought to use his personal ritual tool to place an even larger seal over the area.

Alas, Essence Supreme had underestimated Wang Chong’s reaction speed.

The moment Little Nightmare exploded and Essence Supreme took out his ruler, an enormous Psychic Energy penetrated through the crack in the domain and slammed into the golden ball of light that was Essence Supreme.

The impact of Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy made Essence Supreme slow down for a moment. Using this chance, Wang Chong and Divine Embryo 1 unleashed their strongest attacks.

“God-Executing Sword!”

“Supreme Buddha!”

Their two attacks, combined with Little Nightmare’s self-detonation, created a terrifying power.

This power swept through the world and made all things shudder.

But even against this sort of attack, all that came in reply was a calm and unshakable voice.

“It’s useless, still not enough.”

As that grandiose voice spoke, a pressure as heavy as Mount Tai pressed down.

Heaven’s avatar was absurdly powerful. Even the three of them working together were still no match for him.

“Is that so? Heaven, take this!”

Just when the attacks were about to collide, when the lives of Wang Chong and the several hundred people in the Wang Family Residence were on the line...

A dark golden Halo of Spacetime appeared, and a resplendent, golden short halberd covered in inscriptions appeared amidst Heaven’s Stellar Energy.

Firmament Supreme’s halberd!

This was Firmament Supreme’s personal ritual tool which Wang Chong had taken from him at the Caspian Sea, and it was now being used against Heaven.

As Firmament Supreme’s personal ritual tool, the golden short halberd had a powerful piercing attribute. This ritual tool shouldn’t have been enough to deal with Heaven, but at this crucial time when Wang Chong, Divine Embryo 1, and Little Nightmare were all working together, it played a key role.

“Explode!”

As the golden short halberd pierced through Heaven’s Stellar Energy, Wang Chong chose to detonate it.

Bang!

With a heaven-shaking explosion, the golden short halberd exploded into countless pieces of shrapnel. The power of the ritual tool turned into a destructive burst of energy within Heaven’s attack.

Bang!

The impact of Heaven’s energy against the combined attack of Wang Chong’s group coupled with the golden short halberd’s explosion finally created a tiny sliver of disorder in Heaven’s seemingly impregnable aura.

A cry of alarm came from the depths of spacetime. It appeared that even Heaven had been taken aback by Wang Chong’s sudden attack.

But Wang Chong had no time to worry about such things.

If Wang Chong had been willing, he would have even been able to glimpse Heaven’s true face.

Throughout this battle, the two parties had been clashing purely through energy, and various dimensional barriers between them prevented Wang Chong from seeing Heaven’s true body. And Wang Chong wanted nothing more than to see what the Sage Emperor’s greatest foe really looked like.

But Wang Chong simply didn’t have the time.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Chong unleashed a silvery light that swept up Divine Embryo 1. At the same time, he opened his hand, and a dark golden Halo of Spacetime appeared around Little Nightmare’s remains.

In order to resist Heaven and protect Wang Chong, Little Nightmare had unleashed all of its power. Wang Chong could sense that it was rapidly weakening, a guttering candle in the wind.

The detonation of a soul was a great taboo for any martial artist, for self-detonation meant certain death.

“Little Nightmare, hold on! No matter what, I won’t let you die!”

Wang Chong clenched his teeth, and with a flick of his finger, he collected the remnants of Little Nightmare’s soul and sealed them within the Halo of Spacetime.
