He can’t be allowed to live!
Genesis Supreme’s heart exploded with killing intent. The more impressive w.a.n.g Chong was, the more he wanted to kill him.
Buzz!
A moment later, the already-constricted halo behind Genesis Supreme’s head became even smaller, and the flames erupting from Genesis Supreme’s body grew even more concentrated and crimson.
“Die!”
As Genesis Supreme drew power from the halo, he poured his energy, blood, and soul into the Sword of G.o.d, instantly breaking the balance between the two.
The sword instantly broke through w.a.n.g Chong’s many s.p.a.cetime s.h.i.+elds and swung at w.a.n.g Chong. If this sword struck true, w.a.n.g Chong would probably be sliced in half.
But a moment later, w.a.n.g Chong slid backward, instantly creating distance between him and Genesis Supreme and avoiding this strike. Moreover, w.a.n.g Chong blinked away, somehow disappearing from Genesis Supreme’s senses.
Bang!
A split-second later, w.a.n.g Chong appeared behind Genesis Supreme, the Origin Immortal Sword in his hand bursting with blazing lightning as it thrust at Genesis Supreme’s back.
The entire process was silent, and by the time Genesis Supreme noticed, the sword was only a few inches from his back.
Bang!
A familiar energy erupted from the much smaller halo behind Genesis Supreme’s head, firmly blocking w.a.n.g Chong’s sword.
A starving camel was still larger than a horse, and while Genesis Supreme’s halo was much shrunken, it still possessed formidable defensive capabilities that w.a.n.g Chong found difficult to break.
Bang!
Genesis Supreme’s reaction was extremely fast. As the halo blocked w.a.n.g Chong’s attack, he swung his left hand, and tens of thousands of golden-white Halos of s.p.a.cetime appeared and swept toward w.a.n.g Chong. Meanwhile, Genesis Supreme swung the Sword of G.o.d at w.a.n.g Chong.
Using s.p.a.cetime energy to restrain w.a.n.g Chong while the Sword of G.o.d attacked—for an old monster like Genesis Supreme that had lived for thousands of years, this was an extremely proficient process, with no gap between the reaction and the counter.
But as the sword swung, it struck nothing but empty air. w.a.n.g Chong had already disappeared.
“How could this be!?”
Genesis Supreme grimaced. When both sides had about the same control over s.p.a.cetime energy, his sword should have never missed.
w.a.n.g Chong was actually a little bit faster than him.
Before Genesis Supreme could think about it any more, he sensed a sliver of danger coming from another direction and hastily swung his sword.
Sure enough, w.a.n.g Chong did appear in that other direction. If he had not been extremely strong and reacted extremely fast, he really might have been hit by w.a.n.g Chong’s attack.
Boomboomboom!
The two peak Grotto Heaven experts continued to exchange blows in the air, constantly changing positions as majestic waves of energy intersected. Amidst this ‘second capital’, w.a.n.g Chong and Genesis Supreme were constantly appearing and reappearing.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Genesis Supreme roared repeatedly, his heart burning with rage. This was probably the most frustrating battle he had ever fought.
The Sword of G.o.d had the ability to slice through all things in the world, but w.a.n.g Chong did not give him the chance. He seemed to have better control over s.p.a.cetime than Genesis Supreme, and though Genesis Supreme swung his sword again and again, utilizing his golden-white Halos of s.p.a.cetime to their maximum, he had no way of pinning down w.a.n.g Chong, and all of his attacks missed.
And each time, w.a.n.g Chong would appear at some unexpected place to attack.
Other than the first exchange, the two had not made any sort of physical exchange. At most, their Stellar Energies and halos collided.
This wouldn’t be important in the past, but at this time, Genesis Supreme was burning up his mental energy, blood, and soul to use the Sword of G.o.d. He was consuming his energy at an astonis.h.i.+ng rate, and if the battle dragged on, the battle would be extremely disadvantageous to him.
“Brat, is that all you have?” Genesis Supreme sternly called out, his face savage as his voice rumbled all around him.
On the other side, after having his attack once more staved off by Genesis Supreme’s halo, w.a.n.g Chong blinked away.
“Little Nightmare, have you noticed anything?”
As w.a.n.g Chong battled with Genesis Supreme through the dimensions, he communicated with the Nightmare Beast using Psychic Energy.
“Genesis Supreme is not an ordinary expert. We can’t defeat him through this method. Once he realizes this tactic is no good, he will stop burning away his soul and blood and retreat!”
w.a.n.g Chong appeared confident, but he was mentally extremely tense.
Genesis Supreme was far too powerful. The current goal of w.a.n.g Chong’s tactic was to delay Genesis Supreme. If he were allowed to enter the battlefield, there was no telling how much damage he would inflict on the army.
Genesis Supreme seemed to know what w.a.n.g Chong was thinking and what he most feared, and he sinisterly said, “w.a.n.g Chong, you’re still not coming out? Since you don’t want to fight, I’ll put aside our battle for now and go to deal with your army. Once the bodies of those ant soldiers are scattered across the battlefield, you might be more willing to fight with me!”
Playing hide-and-seek in the sky to constantly drain away his soul and blood was simply impossible. Since w.a.n.g Chong wasn’t willing to fight with him, he would force him out.
The Nightmare Beast could sense w.a.n.g Chong’s situation, and anxiously called out, “Soon! I just need a little more time! Master, clash with him with Psychic Energy one more time!”
“Fine! Genesis Supreme, let’s fight again!”
w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes flashed, and he immediately reappeared in front of Genesis Supreme.
“Hahaha, finally willing to come out!”
Genesis Supreme saw that his words had worked, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
Bang!
Genesis Supreme once more swung the Sword of G.o.d, slicing through the fabric of s.p.a.ce. Preceding the sword was Genesis Supreme’s immense Psychic Energy, howling toward w.a.n.g Chong as a giant wave.
w.a.n.g Chong’s movement technique was far too slippery. Genesis Supreme intended to use Psychic Energy to disrupt w.a.n.g Chong and prevent him from easily avoiding the attack.
But Genesis Supreme had underestimated w.a.n.g Chong, for w.a.n.g Chong had no intention of dodging.
“Stellar Universe!”
With a loud roar, w.a.n.g Chong merged his Psychic Energy with the Nightmare Beast’s and used his strongest psychic ability.
In the mental dimension, w.a.n.g Chong’s Psychic Energy coalesced into millions of stars and suns. Each sun was dazzling, dense, and bursting with limitless energy. This grandiose display was enough to leave anyone stunned.
Bang!
A moment later, w.a.n.g Chong’s vast stellar universe slammed into Genesis Supreme’s Psychic Energy.
Psychic Energy was extremely important to a martial artist, directly linked to their life. This was the first time w.a.n.g Chong had merged his energy with the Nightmare Beast’s and attacked Genesis Supreme without reservation.
“What is this?!”
Genesis Supreme had lived for countless years, but even he was shocked by the universe w.a.n.g Chong had created with his Psychic Energy.
The millions of blazing stars slammed into his consciousness, and even a Grotto Heaven realm expert like Genesis Supreme couldn’t help but yell in shock from this unprecedented blow.
Though Genesis Supreme had lived for numerous epochs and seen many things, he had never seen a universe simulated like this. This was a power that not even Genesis Supreme could take.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I’ll kill you!”
Genesis Supreme felt an intense pain in his head, like it was about to explode. But though he had taken a wound like never before, Genesis Supreme still did not lose himself. As their Psychic Energies clashed, Genesis Supreme’s Sword of G.o.d slashed at w.a.n.g Chong.
Bang!
Stimulated by the intense pain, Genesis Supreme’s Sword of G.o.d erupted with even greater power. The numerous, densely layered s.p.a.cetime s.h.i.+elds were instantly sliced through, and that terrifying sword even managed to reach w.a.n.g Chong’s gauntleted right fist.
The Samsara Battle Armor was far tougher than the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor, several hundred times tougher than steel. But he could tell that the Samsara Battle Armor could not block the Sword of G.o.d.
Swis.h.!.+ As the sword swept past, a white scar appeared on w.a.n.g Chong’s gauntlet. The Sword of G.o.d had sliced right through the Samsara Battle Armor.
But a moment later, a dark golden halo erupted from w.a.n.g Chong’s feet, and he blinked away, barely managing to avoid Genesis Supreme’s attack.
Whoos.h.!.+
The cold wave howled past the pair as w.a.n.g Chong and Genesis Supreme once more pulled away from each other.
“Master, I found it!” As w.a.n.g Chong was completely focused and waiting for the next attack, the Nightmare Beast’s delighted voice rang out in his mind.
“I found his weakness!”
As the Nightmare Beast spoke, it immediately shared its vision with w.a.n.g Chong.
The scene before w.a.n.g Chong s.h.i.+fted, revealing a completely different sort of world.
In this gray-white world, w.a.n.g Chong could see a tiny white dot on the lower left abdomen of Genesis Supreme.
This white dot was very unremarkable, the size of a mustard seed.
“This is the flaw in his soul. He has been with this body for too little time, and he had to appear on this battlefield and battle with Master before he was able to completely fuse with it.”
The Nightmare Beast was so excited that its voice was trembling. As a purely mental creature, the Nightmare Beast could see and sense something completely different from Psychic Energy pract.i.tioners. It had some talents and abilities that not even w.a.n.g Chong could emulate.
“He’s very smart and knows of his weakness, so he took great pains to conceal it. It’s not on his head, but on his lower left abdomen. He must have used some special method to do this. But in the clash with Master just now, he exposed the weakness, allowing me to discover it!”
“Little Nightmare, I knew that you could do it!”
w.a.n.g Chong was also delighted, for this was now an opportunity to turn the tables.
