Of all the forces Konrad had ever collided with, in terms of sheer size and shape, the thin, multicolor ray conjured by Cloud undoubtedly wasn"t anything extraordinary. However, Konrad didn"t doubt that Regretless aside, he"d never felt anything more threatening.
Although only one Law separated Triple Transcendence from All-Transcendence, a horrendous strength gap divided those two stages. For the All-Transcendent Cloud, 100 Blood Nether were not enough to break a sweat! Still, before this seemingly irresistible force, Konrad"s lips curled into a smile.
"Very well, Cloud, my cheaply gained sworn brother, let"s see how much of my strength you"re worth."
Konrad stated and raised his left hand, the diabolic energies gathered by the Anti-G.o.dhead swelled the Forbidden Physiques" locks, Konrad focused it all in the Absolute Negation Physique, making it successively break two locks while his Myriad World Immortal Blood digested the lineages of those fallen experts.
27 locks for the Might Reversal Physique, 27 for the Absolute Negation Physique, a total of 54 Forbidden Locks now swirled around Konrad"s form, intertwining and overlapping to form a brand-new force!
The three Forbidden Physiques might be three entirely different forces, but just like the Supreme Principles overlapped, they were destined to merge and become one. Depending on those 54 locks alone, Konrad didn"t fear any Supreme!
Undaunted, he stretched out his left finger, causing his 54 locks to form a black barrier that met Cloud"s incoming ray in a resounding blast!
*BOOOM*
The Reversal Barrier swallowed the force in its entirety, then sent it back at Cloud with 100 times the might! But unlike Konrad"s previous foes, when faced with this reversed force, Cloud"s lips curled into a smile.
"Dispel!"
Cloud commanded, and the ray collapsed in light particles.
"Apologies, but attempting to turn my Supreme Will against me is a fool"s errand."
Cloud stated, and his hands flashed in incantation gestures. The light particles expanded and morphed into four Transcendental Tiger Beasts. The beasts merged into one, becoming a 50 kilometers tall, multicolor Tiger whose slit eyes and bloodthirst daggered Konrad!
*ROOOOOAR!*
The Tiger"s soul-rending roar tore through the very fabrics of the Celestial Realm!
But this merely was the beginning. At Cloud"s back, four pairs of wings, each for Truth, Life, Death, and Fate, appeared while around his form, the full might of his All-Transcendence billowed in swirling clouds!
With a step, Cloud vanished and reappeared on top of his All-Transcendent Tiger, staring down at Konrad from that impossibly high alt.i.tude.
"Konrad, I Deny Your Life!"
Cloud exclaimed, and with those five simple words, released an irresistible force that made the Life Transcendent Konrad lose control of his life force! For the first time in centuries, Konrad could feel the very essence of his life under an immediate threat!
However, Cloud was only getting started.
"I Deny Your Truth!"
"I Deny Your Fate..."
With those two Supreme Commands, Konrad could now feel his Fate Standard crackle while the Truth of his existence fell to jeopardy. Although the Devil Bridge granted him absolute immortality, if he couldn"t stop Cloud"s following move, he didn"t doubt he would spend the upcoming decades thriving on diabolic energies to remold his flesh and soul!
"...and Command Your Death!
Existence Denial!"
Cloud proclaimed, causing Konrad"s body to fall into an illusory state as his Life, Truth, Fate, and Death submitted to Cloud"s All-Transcendent control! Though Konrad possessed a total of 54 Forbidden Locks, Cloud didn"t believe it would be enough to revert his move. After all, Konrad hadn"t reached 30 in either.
Although it was just a matter of a few locks, those made all the difference between non-Supreme, Supreme, and High Supreme battle-power!
However, as Konrad"s smile broadened, he was forced to admit he"d underestimated what 54 could accomplis.h.!.+
"Negation!"
With that one word Konrad negated all of Cloud"s Supreme Commands, and from illusory, his body returned to its previous state.
"Try harder."
Konrad chided, and instantly, Cloud"s face contorted into a frown.
"This...isn"t going to be easy."
Cloud realized, and chose to go all-out! Nearby, Night no longer hesitated and made his move. Closing his eyes, he dived into his emotional spectrum and destroyed the last thing preventing him from reaching Sublime Nothingness Insight.
Familial Love!
As soon as he did, the bright Celestial Sky darkened, falling into an abrupt night whose darkness stretched to the entirety of the Celestial Realm. When Night again opened his eyes, a unique Will swirled within, announcing to the world that he"d officially left the ranks of mere cultivators and deities to become...Supreme!
Sensing this change, Cloud"s mood sank, and he closed his eyes to sigh his helplessness. However, that change only lasted for a blink of an eyelid.
"What"s done is done. Night, with me!"
Cloud ordered as his eyes opened wide, and Night vanished to reappear beside him. A pitch-black veil swirled around his form, while the deadening forces of his Supreme Will rippled unceasingly.
"The Profane Prince"s existence endangers the balance of the Omniverse. Exterminating him and his Devil Road, is the only rational choice."
Night stated, and as his words echoed, his body expanded, going from 1.88 meters to 30 kilometers!
"More like it endangers our survival."
Cloud followed, and he too expanded to a full-blown 30 kilometers. But that was only one part of the transformation. The Immemorial t.i.tan brothers both boasted nine heads and eighteen arms, each rippling with the might of their Supreme Will!
Now, Konrad didn"t merely confront one, but two Supremes!
Still, he showed no fear, cracking his neck as his form rose through the sky to merge with his Anti-G.o.dhead. The Anti-G.o.dhead morphed, becoming a 30 kilometers tall giant of black energies with 50 heads and 100 arms!
"I suppose it is time I have you face the might of my blood."
Konrad declared, and let the full strength of his Quasi-Firmament Blood explode, releasing a horrendous pressure that made even those Supreme recoil. And though Night could no longer feel apprehension, his instincts and logic told him that in the upcoming clash, the tiniest mistake could result in their demise!
The brothers exchanged a glance of tacit understanding, and like meteors, hurtled at Konrad! This time, Night showcased true Omnipresence, able to strike from billions of spots at the same time.
Konrad"s Negation Abilities could also not so easily affect him!
Cloud"s every punch exploded with All-Transcendence, making their individual might defy the understanding of mere deities! The onlookers no longer had anything to say, and all throughout the Three Realms stared in awe at this one in a trillion years clas.h.!.+
Konrad raised his sword, meeting every single one of the Supremes" offensive with a single sword slash, and though it seemed their relentless offensives would ultimately get the best of him, he stood as firm as a mountain, never recoiling from even one step as he swept his sword like the incarnation of slaughter!
*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM*
Every collision was like a thunderclap with both sides unleas.h.i.+ng a myriad of abilities. But while Night and Cloud"s combined forces and mutual understanding allowed them to bring the best out of one another, Konrad won with a mixture of superior power and unbreakable abilities.
The combination of his Might Reversal and Absolute Negation Physique was such a hax that even those Supremes didn"t know how to dent him! They could only trade blows after blows while staying alert for an opening!
It never came.
Konrad, however, chose to create his!
"Innate Skill: Myriad World Explosion!"
Konrad bellowed, causing all the offensive abilities, Ancestral Glories, and various Innate Skills of all his underlying bloodlines, to fill the sky like miniature planets! Cloud and Night watched in awe as this unprecedented flurry of bloodline abilities swelled infinitely!
Worse, Auspicious Clouds trapped them in a unique dimension, preventing all escape!
Instantly, Night attempted to nullify the abilities through his Nothingness Insight while Cloud used the Truth aspect of his All-Transcendence to erase them. But when faced with Konrad"s Negation Wall, they both failed!
Swelled by the endless power of the Myriad World Immortal Blood and Konrad"s Infiniteness Insight, the myriad of abilities reached an unprecedented level of destructive power and...detonated!
*BOOOOOOM*
A horrendous kaleidoscopic blast hit Cloud and Night point blank, sending them flying backward with torn bones, seared flesh, and erupting blood!
At that time, Heaven"s Will awoke!
