Boom! In a golden flash of light, Divine Embryo 3 was struck by the halberd. In the short time available to him, Wang Chong only had time to maneuver it to the side, just barely managing to avoid a lethal blow. Still, the halberd blew through the left shoulder, leaving a large, bloody hole.
Not only that, the short halberd contained a special Psychic Energy, and Wang Chong felt a sudden headache—
The soul in the mind of Divine Embryo 3 was half-jolted out of the body, the connection almost breaking.
The same happened to Divine Embryo 2. The golden halberd curved around and pierced through Divine Embryo 2’s body.
With one attack, Firmament Supreme’s golden short halberd had heavily injured two of Wang Chong’s divine embryos.
“Great Destruction Art!”
Seeing that the golden short halberd was continuing on toward Divine Embryo 1, Divine Embryo 1 unleashed the Great Destruction Art.
In a flash of light, a large black hole appeared, causing space and time to collapse.
This attack finally managed to block the golden halberd, but even so, Divine Embryo 1 felt pain at its chest as the golden halberd once more struck its Shanzhong Point.
And this was after Wang Chong had minimized the impact of this golden halberd by as much as he could.
Divine Embryo 1 trembled, vomited blood, and was sent flying once more.
“Too powerful!”
Wang Chong’s expression was ashen. In the blink of an eye, the heavily injured Firmament Supreme had defeated all three of the divine embryos.
When the Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy contained in the golden halberd passed through his body, it almost scattered all of Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy, leaving his body wracked with pain, almost paralyzed.
And things were far from over…
“Hmph! For daring to destroy this god’s teleportation gate, this god will bury you together with the teleportation gate so that you can experience the sensation of a body being ground into powder!”
Firmament Supreme’s face was pale with rage, and his fingers snatched back the golden halberd.
He was already badly injured, and using the Power of Spacetime so frequently was a heavy burden on him.
But Firmament Supreme no longer cared. These three mice had destroyed the teleportation gate he had spent so much time and energy building. More importantly, the energy core was gone as well. This meant that he could not even rebuild the teleportation gate, which would affect the Purification plan.
He could already predict Heaven’s anger.
And even more infuriating was that these three mice had dared to entrap him. In that previous explosion, if he had not managed to find a small spacetime crack at the final moment and use his Power of Spacetime to enter it, he would have been obliterated.
But the explosion had nevertheless left an indelible wound on Firmament Supreme. Not only had he been weakened and his organs injured, his mind and his most precious Grotto Heaven law had been badly damaged by the impact.
For the arrogant Firmament Supreme, this was an unprecedented disgrace.
If he did not kill these three mice in the most painful fashion possible, how could he possibly vent all his rage?
Clap!
Firmament Supreme turned around and snapped his fingers. A massive, golden Halo of Spacetime appeared around Wang Chong’s three divine embryos. At the same time, a spacetime tunnel opened that led to the shores of the Caspian Sea.
Whoosh!
As the crashing of waves filled his ears and the cold and biting wind lashed his face, Wang Chong opened his eyes and found that Firmament Supreme had brought him back to the location of the teleportation gate.
What made him even more uneasy was that giant black hole in the sky, still radiating terrifying energy. In that black hole, Wang Chong could sense that the fabric of spacetime was still collapsing.
It was the teleportation gate, not yet destroyed!
Wang Chong had not expected that the explosion produced by throwing the energy core into the teleportation gate would be so destructive that the energy had yet to dissipate.
His heart thumped as he realized what Firmament Supreme was planning.
He planned to throw the three divine embryos into the still-open spacetime black hole, utilizing the power of the collapsing spacetime to crush their bodies into dust so as to vent his hatred.
“Now, die for this god.”
Firmament Supreme’s emotionless voice resounded through the world.
Buzz!
A Halo of Spacetime with a diameter of a hundred-some feet appeared on the ground and swiftly locked down the surrounding space, rendering Wang Chong incapable of fleeing into the sky or into the ground.
Firmament Supreme’s fingers slightly opened, a tiny Halo of Spacetime appearing between them.
The Halo of Spacetime trembled and rapidly turned, upon which the spacetime fabric of the entire region trembled.
The air was brimming with tension.
The danger in Wang Chong’s heart reached a suffocating level.
Life or death would be decided in a single moment!
Wang Chong knew that once Firmament Supreme made his attack and threw him into the spacetime black hole, he would be doomed.
What do I do?
Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Chong’s mind.
Firmament Supreme was simply too strong, both in physical strength and mental strength, and this wasn’t even considering that golden short halberd. Even if he used all his strength, he would still be no match.
Firmament Supreme’s power was overwhelming!
After what was both like a second and like countless years, bzzz! An idea suddenly occurred to Wang Chong, and his fingers clenched in resolve.
This was it!
“There’s nothing to be done! I can only try this move!”
Wang Chong clenched his teeth, a determined look on his face.
Chapter 2083 - Frenzied Devouring!
Chapter 2083: Frenzied Devouring!
Bang!
Just as Firmament Supreme was preparing to throw Wang Chong’s divine embryos into the spacetime black hole, Wang Chong’s divine embryos rose into the air, the ground around them trembling as they harnessed all their energy and attacked Firmament Supreme.
“Heaven and Earth created as one!”
“The myriad things annihilated together!”
Two roars exploded through the air.
A terrifying storm of energy manifested in the air. To Firmament Supreme’s left, Divine Embryo 2 transformed into a massive ball of flame, as crimson as blood but more searing than the sun.
On the right side, Divine Embryo 3, with its Ice Element talent, unleashed all of its energy and turned into a freezing silver ball.
The two giant spheres represented Yang and Yin, hot and cold, the two opposite energies of the world.
Boom!
In a flash, the two giant spheres slammed together, the fusion of these two energies shifting into a massive Taiji diagram.
Heaven and Earth created as one, the myriad things annihilated together!
This was the joint attack used by Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man in the Battle of Talas to defeat Qutaybah, a new technique that the master and disciple had developed together.
Though this move was derived from the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, it had transcended to a divine level, grasping the ultimate secrets of Yin and Yang. It was no longer a simple art, but one of the mysterious principles of the world.
It was this that had allowed Wang Chong and his master to defeat Qutaybah.
But once Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man had calmed down and were able to comprehend the technique so that they could incorporate it into the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, they began to understand that it was far more complicated than they first thought.
To use this technique, one first had to cultivate the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, and then one had to comprehend the two primor
dial principles of Yin and Yang, the progenitors of all things under heaven.
This level of comprehension alone was something that very few people could reach.
Secondly, the two extremes of Yin and Yang emphasized balance.
If Yang was too strong or Yin was too strong, even if it was only by a hair, the imbalance would lead to a massive explosion.
In truth, Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man had successfully used this move during the Battle of Talas mostly due to luck.
Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man had tried it many more times afterwards. Moreover, as this move had absorbed much of their energy, the explosions had contained tremendous power that had left them both rather injured. In the end, they had been forced to stop their experiments.
Unfamiliarity with the technique and the enormous danger it represented had made Wang Chong unwilling to use the move this entire time.
But now that his life was on the line, he could no longer worry about such things. This was the only move he had that could threaten Firmament Supreme.
Bang!
As the Yin and Yang energies of the two divine embryos merged together, the fusion produced a fundamentally different power that made even Firmament Supreme pale.
But at this moment, these two entirely different energies not only failed to fuse, they began to collide together, rapidly devolving into what seemed to be an extremely unstable explosion.
Wang Chong’s heart sank like a stone.
It was clear that Divine Embryos 2 and 3 had not achieved balance. The move had failed!
Were they really all going to die here?
Wang Chong turned ghastly pale.
No, there was still one last chance!
Just when the two spheres were about to explode, Wang Chong clenched his teeth and unleashed the power of Divine Embryo 1.
“Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!”
Wang Chong unleashed this supreme art before Firmament Supreme could react.
Divine Embryo 1 charged in before the two spheres could erupt.
A moment later, the two clashing spheres rapidly stabilized, fusing and turning as they took the form of a massive Taiji diagram.
Divine Embryo 1 was serving as a balancer, allowing the Yin and Yang to reach equilibrium.
“Heaven and Earth created as one, the myriad things annihilated together!”
“Go!”
Wang Chong erupted with energy, gathering the power of three divine embryos to produce an unprecedented attack.
Bang!
The energies of all three divine embryos fused together, transforming into a black sphere of destructive energy that shot toward Firmament Supreme like a bolt of lightning.
“What is this?!”
A look of extreme shock appeared on Firmament Supreme’s face, his eyes flying open.
Though the three divine embryos were powerful, they had yet to fully mature. In front of a Grotto Heaven expert like Firmament Supreme, they were far too weak, so Firmament Supreme regarded them as three little mice.
In Firmament Supreme’s eyes, these three were just lambs to the slaughter.
But at this moment, the terrifying energy created by the fusion of their three energies shook Firmament Supreme to his core.
Buzz!
Firmament Supreme flicked his fingers, rapidly forming Halos of Spacetime of various sizes in front of him.
Firmament Supreme attempted to use this method to stop Wang Chong’s ‘Heaven and Earth created as one, the myriad things annihilated together’.
But at this moment, Firmament Supreme’s Halos of Spacetime seemed to be made of paper, crumbling to pieces in the face of the attack.
This black sphere brimming with the aura of death blasted through all obstructions and slammed into Firmament Supreme, pushing him toward that spacetime black hole that was on the verge of disappearing.
“Aaagh!”
Firmament Supreme screamed and vomited blood, his face turning as white as a sheet of paper.
After this mighty attack, he was so weakened that he fell out of the Grotto Heaven realm.
But with a great clang, a golden Halo of Spacetime appeared behind Firmament Supreme, preventing him from falling into the spacetime black hole.
“You damn—”
Firmament Supreme stabilized himself, clenching his teeth as he glared murderously at the three divine embryos. But before he could finish speaking, he howled in pain.
“Master, he’s at the end of his strength! We can use this chance to absorb his energy!”
At some point, the faceless man had appeared next to Firmament Supreme, grimly grabbing his left leg as his body erupted with hazy light. The images of the sun and moon appeared behind him. It was clear that he was using the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to madly devour the Stellar Energy inside Firmament Supreme.
“You’re seeking death!”
Infuriated, Firmament Supreme pressed down his palm, striking the faceless man on the back. This palm contained such power that the faceless man’s Stellar Energy was scattered and blood erupted from his pores, his aura turning dim and weak.
In the past, Firmament Supreme’s enraged strike would have killed someone of the faceless man’s cultivation level with one strike. But now, though he vomited blood from his severe injuries, the faceless man didn’t die.
Not only that, the faceless man continued to tightly hold Firmament Supreme’s left leg and absorb energy using the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.
“Go!”
Wang Chong immediately reacted, his three divine embryos lunging at Firmament Supreme.
Boomboomboom!
The air rumbled as images of the sun and moon manifested. The divine embryos grabbed onto Firmament Supreme’s arms and right leg and activated their Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.
In terms of cultivation, Wang Chong’s divine embryos were far superior to the faceless man.
As the suns and moons appeared and illuminated the world, the Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy of Firmament Supreme madly flowed out and into bodies of the three divine embryos.
At any other time, even if Firmament Supreme just stood there and allowed Wang Chong to use his Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, Wang Chong might not have been capable of moving the Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy. But now, after the explosion of the teleportation gate and Wang Chong’s fusion strike, Firmament Supreme was at his weakest.
“Seeking death!!!”
Firmament Supreme was shocked and furious. He had not expected that Wang Chong’s group would be so insane that these puny people with their lowly Saint Martial realm and Subtle realm cultivation levels would dare to absorb the power of a Grotto Heaven realm expert.
With a thought, Firmament Supreme summoned more Halos of Spacetime, and in one of these was that sharp and unstoppable golden short halberd.
The halberd was clearly much weaker than before, and the Halo of Spacetime around it was also much dimmer and extremely unstable.
To Firmament Supreme’s consternation, the more he used his energy, the faster Wang Chong’s three divine embryos absorbed his energy.
On the other side, Wang Chong scowled upon seeing the golden short halberd appear, danger welling up in his mind.
“Nightmare Beast!” Wang Chong mentally bellowed.
Roooar!
The Nightmare Beast angrily howled in response.
Just when Firmament Supreme was about to strike, the Nightmare Beast’s formidable Psychic Energy slammed into his mind.
Bangbangbang!
In a series of explosions, Firmament Supreme’s Halos of Spacetime crumbled under the assault, and his golden short halberd was knocked flying into the distance, hitting the ground with a clang.
Firmament Supreme was thrown into disarray by the multiple explosions, his shoulder turned into mangled flesh.

“You bastards!”
Firmament Supreme’s eyes turned crimson. His four limbs were seized by Wang Chong’s three divine embryos and the faceless man, but at this moment, his body suddenly erupted with strength. His left arm shook off the binding of Divine Embryo 1, and in extreme rage, he thrust a palm at Divine Embryo 3’s back.
Bang!
There was so much power in this palm that the Stellar Energy around Divine Embryo 3 was immediately scattered, half of its body pushed into the earth. Even a small part of the soul was dispersed by the strike, Firmament Supreme’s palm almost instantly killing it.
But even so, Divine Embryo 3 clenched its teeth and grimly clung to Firmament Supreme’s left leg.
Not only that, Divine Embryo 3 continued to frenziedly devour Firmament Supreme’s Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy.
At this moment, Divine Embryo 1 lunged back and grabbed onto Firmament Supreme’s left arm, holding him down once more.
With four people using the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, Firmament Supreme’s Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy madly flowed out, and his aura grew weaker and weaker, his struggles more and more difficult.
“Master, attack his mind! His Grotto Heaven Law Core is supplying him with energy! If we can break his Grotto Heaven Core and absorb the law within, Master will be able to advance to the Grotto Heaven realm!” the faceless man yelled out, his voice carrying a rare hint of emotion.
The faceless man’s understanding of the Grotto Heaven realm came entirely from Wang Chong. On their journey to the Caspian Sea, Wang Chong had explained to him many things about the Grotto Heaven realm.
When one comprehended the laws of the world, one would form a Grotto Heaven Core in one’s mind.
This was the product of the purest energy fused with the laws of the world.
And through a spacetime barrier, outsiders were not capable of sensing a Grotto Heaven realm expert’s core, further guaranteeing the safety of the core.
But now, Firmament Supreme was badly injured and his Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy was in disarray after being absorbed. Like a river running dry during a drought, exposing the riverbed, the secretive Grotto Heaven Core of Firmament Supreme was now revealed.
