  Bang!

  “Origin Lance!”

  At this moment, with a thunderous roar, a golden lance several dozen feet long streaked through the air and slammed into Firmament Supreme’s chest.

  At the crucial moment, Divine Embryo 2 had finally arrived and unleashed the Trayastrimsa Heaven in the form of a long spear.

  In a one-on-one battle, Wang Chong’s three divine embryos were no match for Firmament Supreme.

  But Firmament Supreme had placed most of his strength on bringing back the energy core and stabilizing the teleportation gate, and he also needed to deal with Divine Embryo 1, Divine Embryo 3, and the Nightmare Beast. An attack from Divine Embryo 2 at this time was fatal!

  Though Firmament Supreme was strong, he was not at a level where he could completely ignore Divine Embryo 2!

  Boom!

  There was a flash of light, and space rippled in front of Firmament Supreme. Multiple Halos of Spacetime appeared in front of Firmament Supreme’s chest, blocking the golden spear that was Divine Embryo 2’s lethal attack.

  But in focusing some power to block the Origin Lance, Firmament Supreme had to draw power from his other Halos of Spacetime. For a moment, it seemed like the energy core still submerged in the teleportation gate would escape his control.

  “This is it!”

  Wang Chong’s sharp perception instantly saw this.

  “Great Destruction Art!”

  The two other divine embryos immediately used the strongest technique of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

  Although Wang Chong had not reached the Grotto Heaven realm, nor could he control space as Firmament Supreme did to open up spacetime tunnels, the Great Destruction Art reached the same result through a different process. Destroying the fabric of space could affect spacetime all the same.

  Rumble!

  Two peak Subtle realm Stellar Energies exploded outward, tearing open a fissure in the fabric of space several dozen feet wide. Even Firmament Supreme’s Halos of Spacetime in this area were significantly affected, the golden halos shuddering and even breaking.

  At any other time, the two Great Destruction Arts would not have posed much of a threat to Firmament Supreme, but at this moment, Firmament Supreme was focusing almost all of his strength on pulling back the massive and extremely unstable energy core.

  Boomboomboom!

  With this one last push, the energy core began to break through Firmament Supreme’s Halos of Spacetime and accelerate into the teleportation gate.

  “Damn it!

  “This god will kill you all!”

  Firmament Supreme was enraged, and his body roiled with Stellar Energy.

  This was an emergency. The teleportation gate could not be lost!

  Firmament Supreme unleashed all his potential. Bzzz! Golden light even brighter and more dazzling than before erupted from his body. Those Halos of Spacetime that had been shattered took form once more, and the energy core was also stabilized.

  Not only that, spacetime energy began to overlap in the air above him, condensing into a spacetime blade that locked onto Wang Chong’s three clones and the Nightmare Beast Core.

  “This is impossible!”

  Wang Chong was stunned by the development.

  The situation was dire, and the stench of death was suffocating.

  Firmament Supreme was absurdly strong!

  Wang Chong had not expected that even after he had shown all his cards and applied all his strength, he still could not get through Firmament Supreme’s obstructions.

  And the massive, golden spacetime blades Firmament Supreme was creating in the air were enough to instantly kill him and his clones!

  The air was brimming with tension.

  “No! I can’t let him drag back the energy core!”

  Wang Chong’s nerves were on the verge of snapping from the tension.

  No one understood more than him that if he could not destroy the teleportation gate, everyone would be doomed, whether it was him, the Nightmare Beast, or the faceless man.

  “Explode!”

  At this perilous moment, Wang Chong’s eyes flashed with determination. He hooked his fingers and triggered an important formation Divine Embryo 3 had planted in the energy core.

  Bang!

  Over at the distant teleportation gate, a sound like shattering glass came from the energy core. It was almost inaudible amidst the intensity of the battle, but it was the most pivotal development in the battlefield.

  Just when Firmament Supreme was focused entirely on Wang Chong, an enormous explosion rang out. That energy core that was halfway embedded into the teleportation gate fiercely trembled, and a terrifying torrent of energy far above even that of the Grotto Heaven realm gushed out from it.

  This energy torrent was blue like a star and contained a bone-freezing chill.

  Boomboomboom!

  In the blink of an eye, that terrifying surge of energy blasted through Firmament Supreme’s golden Halos of Spacetime, breaking all of the seals around the energy core.

  “Not good!”

  Sensing the development behind him, Firmament Supreme frantically began to once more control his Halos of Spacetime to try and pull back the energy core, but he was too late. Everything was decided at the moment Divine Embryo 3 triggered the small formation in the energy core.

  Kaboom! In a blue flash of light, the giant energy core, helped along by the pull from the teleportation gate and its own inertia, broke through all obstructions and vanished into the teleportation gate.

  Buzz!

  The teleportation gate, which had been on the verge of stabilization and completion, suddenly shuddered.

  The energy within the teleportation gate turned chaotic and frenzied.

  What would happen if the energy core, with its extremely unstable energy that was far above the Grotto Heaven realm, was suddenly thrown into a teleportation gate which was placed at the intersection of multiple dimensions?

  When these factors were brought together, how massive would the explosion be?

  Wang Chong didn’t know!

  But he did know that this energy would be enough to annihilate all his divine embryos and the Nightmare Beast without leaving a shred of a corpse behind.

  In truth, the teleportation gate hadn’t even exploded yet, but Wang Chong already felt like nothing but an ant before its frenzied energy.

  If he could not escape from the heart of the explosion, his death was certain!

  “Go!”

  Without another thought, Wang Chong’s three divine embryos erupted with Stellar Energy and fled.

  “Damn it!

  “You madmen!”

  The Sky Official, who had wanted to help Firmament Supreme but was held down by Divine Embryo 2, suddenly felt an intense unease. Turning around, he saw the azure energy core being thrown into the teleportation gate.

  The teleportation gate was fiercely shuddering, a dazzling azure light coming from within. The fabric of spacetime was in the midst of collapsing, and the destructive energy it unleashed made the Sky Official go pale.

  The Sky Official could no longer worry about Wang Chong, and immediately began to flee.

  “Seeking death!”

  A thunderous roar rang out. As the teleportation gate began to collapse, Firmament Supreme’s eyes burned with rage, his face ghastly white.

  Rumble! He had originally been seated on the ground, his body linked to the formation constructing the teleportation gate and the teleportation gate itself, but in his extreme rage, he got to his feet and flew out.

  His hands reached out, and space rippled as golden Halos of Spacetime closed in around Wang Chong’s three divine embryos.

  Each Halo of Spacetime opened a spacetime tunnel, the other end linked to the teleportation gate.

&nb
sp; He wanted to throw Wang Chong’s three divine embryos and the Nightmare Beast into the imminently exploding teleportation gate so that they would be obliterated.

  But Firmament Supreme had just begun to move when a black cloud of Psychic Energy slammed into his mind.

  Struck by this steely wave of Psychic Energy, Firmament Supreme trembled, and his attack paused for a moment.

  The Nightmare Beast had lashed out at a crucial moment.

  “No matter what, Firmament Supreme can’t be allowed to escape!”

  Wang Chong’s heartstrings were taut.

  The teleportation gate was on the verge of exploding, and Firmament Supreme was a Grotto Heaven expert who was far stronger than them. He would be much faster when it came to escaping.

  If he successfully escaped, then even if they succeeded in destroying the teleportation gate, an unharmed Firmament Supreme would ensure that they all died here.

  Firmament Supreme clearly felt the same. As the teleportation gate neared destruction, he had chosen to go after the three divine embryos rather than run.

  Success will all depend on this!

  The only one that had not fled at this time was Divine Embryo 3.

  With the Nightmare Beast’s Psychic Energy holding down Firmament Supreme for the moment, Divine Embryo 3 suddenly turned around, embraced Firmament Supreme, and unleashed all its Stellar Energy, including that freezing energy in its core.

  “Ice-Sealed World!”

  The azure crystal within Divine Embryo 3’s body blazed with light, as did the entirety of Divine Embryo 3’s body, a light as bright as the sun and as cold as space.

  A chill countless times colder than the chill released by the energy core erupted from Divine Embryo 3’s body.

  This freezing energy was unbelievably frightening!

  Boom!

  Everything within several thousand feet of Divine Embryo 3 turned into a world sealed in ice, covered in snow. Even the snowflakes drifting from the sky, the snow accumulated on the ground, the salty air, the gusts of Stellar Energy, time, and space were all frozen solid.

  Time seemed to stop existing within this region. Everything was still, and all that was left was endless ice and snow.

  In the center of this world, the silver-robed Firmament Supreme was furious, but just when he was about to break free of the Nightmare Beast’s mental attack, his body was frozen by that energy.

  Although Divine Embryo 3’s Ice-Sealed World had covered the entire region, the silver-robed Firmament Supreme was the true target, where the Ice-Sealed World’s power was most concentrated.

  Not only had that cold wave frozen space and time, it had penetrated into Firmament Supreme’s body and frozen his Stellar Energy and soul.

  Even the psychic storm that Firmament Supreme had been just about to unleash was frozen.

  “Let’s go!”

  After unleashing the Ice-Sealed World, Divine Embryo 3 shattered the surrounding frost and fled into the distance.

  The Ice-Sealed World couldn’t hold Firmament Supreme for long, but the teleportation gate was about to explode.

  A terrifying energy was tearing apart the world. Wang Chong could already see a long, black fissure, tens of thousands of feet long, reaching into the sky. The destructive pulses from the teleportation gate were now several dozen times stronger than before.

  This energy would erupt in just another few moments.

  Whoosh!

  Pushing the Shadow Fiend Art to its limits, Wang Chong’s three divine embryos fled, leaving behind scars in the fabric of space.

  At this moment, time slowed to a meandering crawl.

  Five thousand feet!

  Sixteen thousand feet!

  Thirty-eight thousand feet!

  Sixty-seven thousand feet!

  Wang Chong’s divine embryos moved with incredible speed, unleashing all their latent potential, but the terrifying pulses of energy from the teleportation gate continued to follow them like a shadow.

  No good!

  This was far, far from enough!

  Death was still certain at this distance!

  Wang Chong’s body tensed, his blood running cold as he fled with all his might.

  Eighty-nine thousand feet!

  One hundred and thirteen thousand feet!

  Boom!

  The flow of time returned to its normal speed as a sound reminiscent of the Big Bang exploded over the shores of the Caspian Sea.

  “Agghh!”

  A bitter scream came from the direction of the teleportation gate. Firmament Supreme had finally escaped from the Ice-Sealed World, but it was too late.

  The energy core and the collapsing teleportation gate had exploded together, unleashing a world-sundering energy that swept out in all directions. The earth crumbled as giant fissures as thick as tree trunks spread out in all directions.

  Space and time crumbled!

  Although Firmament Supreme was at the Grotto Heaven realm, this explosion was all-encompassing, and not even with his control over spacetime could he escape.

  The power unleashed by the explosion was far above the Grotto Heaven realm. Even Firmament Supreme was but an insignificant ant before it.

  This was why Wang Chong had completely ignored Firmament Supreme and focused on fleeing after freezing him.

  The scream came to a sudden stop as Firmament Supreme was engulfed by collapsing spacetime.

  For Wang Chong’s three divine embryos, one hundred thousand feet, while enough to buy some precious time to escape, was still not far enough to escape the explosion.

  Buzz!

  In the blink of an eye, a terrifying explosive wave crossed nearly one hundred thousand feet, swiftly catching up to Wang Chong’s three divine embryos.

  “Aaaah!”

  With a scream, the somewhat slower Sky Official was caught by the explosion, and his body trembled for a moment before it was blasted to oblivion.

  When fleeing, the Sky Official had specifically chosen to run behind the three divine embryos, hoping to hold down Wang Chong once the explosion had passed to buy Firmament Supreme some time, but at this moment, he was obliterated into dust.

  “Noooo!”

  A scream filled with fear resounded over the world, but as dust and invisible shockwaves passed over, the Sky Official ceased to exist.

  Even the Sky Official was a mote of dust before the twin explosions of the teleportation gate and the energy core!

  Danger followed like a shadow!

  Wang Chong felt his entire body going numb!

  He had no time to celebrate the Sky Official’s death, as he would soon be next.

  He could even feel that destructive explosive shockwave pursuing him, a sword pressed against his back, and countless goosebumps rose on his skin.

  “It’s too late!!!”

  Wang Chong felt an intense sense of death.

  If he could not hold against this explosive shockwave, not only would his three divine embryos be lost, the part of his soul he had attached to them would be annihilated with them.

  In those circumstances, Wang Chong would be certain to suffer a severe wound.

  Not only would Wang Chong have failed to improve his strength, he would suffer an indelible wound.

  Most frighteningly, Genesis Supreme still haunted the environs of the capital like a ghost.

  Just when it seemed like the three divine embryos would suffer the same fate as the Sky Official…

  “Body of a Giant!

  “Armor of Earth!”

  With no time, Divine Embryo 1 used the abilities it had obtained from the Earth Official, pushing them to their absolute limit.

  Rumble! The ground for hundreds of thousands of feet around bulged upward, called up by Divine Embryo 1 to harden and aggregate around it.

&nbs
p; Divine Embryo 1 disappeared, replaced by an earth giant nearly one thousand feet tall, bursting with strength and power.

  This giant was infused with the power of the earth and was additionally covered with the incredibly sturdy ‘Armor of the Earth’!

  Though the Body of the Giant and Armor of the Earth were abilities obtained from the Earth Official, Wang Chong was able to use them much more effectively than the Earth Official.

  But Wang Chong’s tension did not relax!

  “Body of the Celestial!”

  Divine Embryo 1 had originally been about the size of an adult, but a moment after the Armor of the Earth had attached itself, Divine Embryo 1 grew to a size of sixty feet, the size it was when Wang Chong had first discovered it.

  Its body also rapidly began to produce dark green metallic Celestial Armor!

  In terms of pure defensive power, this ability that Divine Embryo 1 naturally possessed was far superior to the Earth Official’s.

  “Come over!”

  Time was short, and after doing all this, Wang Chong had Divine Embryos 2 and 3 shoot over to gather behind Divine Embryo 1 and pour energy into Divine Embryo 1.

  Divine Embryo 1 covered them and swiftly traveled into the ground using Earth Movement.

  Immediately after this was all done, the roaring explosion arrived.

  Boom!

  With a massive crash, the Armor of the Earth that Divine Embryo 1 had formed was obliterated like it was a piece of paper.

  Shortly after, the Body of the Giant that Wang Chong had created using the power of the earth also crumbled, the nearly one-thousand-foot body turning to nothing.

  The three divine embryos protected by it were instantly exposed.

  The power of the explosion was now free to exert its might on the three divine embryos.

  Fwoosh!

  Divine Embryo 1 vomited ‘blood’. It only had time to hold fast in front of Divine Embryos 2 and 3, and then it was slammed together with them into depths of the earth as if struck by some giant cudgel.

  Boomboomboom!

  For several dozen li around the teleportation gate, the earth rumbled with explosions. The perimeter base set up by the three officials had long ago been flattened, and those tens of thousands of nomadic warriors from the north, after some brief neighing from their warhorses, were swiftly silenced.
