Chapter 437: All of You?! Half a Year of Battle! (Part 1)
October 3rd, 2024
"Ultimate Demon Dao, Demon Ascends to the Nine Heavens!"
"Amitabha Buddha, if the Demon Lord insists on such reckless actions, even the Buddha will lose his temper!"
And so, the battle commenced.
A Triple Crown Sovereign and a Supreme Crown King, the ultimate showdown in this place.
Both were true Tier 0 powerhouses, and once they clashed, it would be like the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering. Even the Multiverse Abyss, with its sturdy space, couldn't withstand the continuous rending, creating a scene that looked utterly 'miserable'.
In terms of raw power, the Supreme Crown King, the Ultimate Demon Sovereign, was naturally above the Triple Crown Sovereign, the Great Monk. However, the Ultimate Demon Sovereign had been in a constant state of battle for many days, without any rest.
Furthermore, he dared not relax, not even for a moment. He was under constant surveillance, and the number of people around him kept increasing. If he let his guard down, they would surely launch a sudden attack.
Therefore...
The Ultimate Demon Lord's condition was not ideal.
His energy consumption had been immense.
Fortunately, his strength was formidable, and his recovery rate was equally impressive, allowing him to remain unscathed.
But being unscathed before didn't guarantee the same for the future.
At this moment, facing the Triple Crown Sovereign, both were Tier 0 cultivators. Even though the Triple Crown Sovereign was slightly weaker, the gap wasn't too significant.
If both were in their prime, the Ultimate Demon Lord would naturally suppress him. But unfortunately, there were not many 'ifs'.
The Triple Crown Sovereign was in their prime.
The Ultimate Demon Lord, on the other hand, had suffered considerable exhaustion.
One cultivated the Demon Dao, while the other followed the Buddha's path.
They were naturally at odds, and their cultivation techniques and skills were mutually restraining.
Once the battle began, it would be exceptionally intense.
After dozens of rounds...
The Ultimate Demon Lord was forced to retreat.
On his originally pale face, now marked with a streak of blood that drew attention.
"..."
He reached out and wiped away the blood, his eyes gradually turning from red to black.
In just an instant, the Ultimate Demon Lord's eyes were left with only blackness.
Like the depths of a dark night, even with black energy spreading.
"..."
The Triple Crown Sovereign fell silent.
After a brief exchange, although he had gained the upper hand, he realized that the Ultimate Demon Lord was not one to have an undeserved reputation. Now, as the Demon Lord unleashed his fury, he knew he had to be cautious, or else...
He might truly be slain here.
"Amitabha Buddha."
"Patron, turn back!"
"As long as you leave the Heart of the Multiverse..."
"Hahaha!"
The Ultimate Demon Lord burst into maniacal laughter, even more frenzied and terrifying than before: "Turn back? Turn which way?!"
"And leave the Heart of the Multiverse to whom?"
"To you?"
"You dare!"
Boom!
He suddenly erupted, and with just a step in the void, he appeared instantly before the Triple Crown Sovereign, his hands like demonic claws, relentlessly attacking.
"Buddha's Light Illuminates!"
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Bow!"
The Triple Crown Sovereign's expression changed.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to say more; he could only fight with all his might.
The outcome was uncertain, but only the victor could stand and speak!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang!
In an instant, the two were like streaks of light, colliding in the void, creating a spectacular display of power that added a unique touch to the Multiverse Abyss.
"Retreat, quick!"
Buddha's light shone in all directions.
Demon energy surged.
That area became a forbidden zone for life.
The top cultivators from various worlds, who had been watching, now feared getting too close. They retreated, one after another, feeling the pressure of the battle's aftermath, which was more intense than the full power of most Eleventh Tribulation Loose Immortals.
"These two are too strong!"
"Is this the prowess of the Triple Crown Sovereign, even the Supreme Crown King? Just the aftermath of their battle makes my heart race. If I were to enter the battlefield, I'd be crushed in an instant!"
"What else can we do? Do you think those called 'Crown Kings' have undeserved reputations? Moreover, this title isn't just a name; it's earned with every punch and kick!"
"Hiss!"
Gasps of cold air filled the air.
They, too, retreated, again and again.
It wasn't that they didn't want to get closer; they hoped to witness the outcome.
But the battle was too intense, and both were holding nothing back. The aftermath of their clash was stronger than most Eleventh Tribulation Loose Immortals fighting with all their might.
Get closer?
It wasn't a matter of gaining an advantage; it was like jumping into a chaotic situation.
The air was filled with flying rules!
The principles and secrets from various worlds were unleashed, showcasing their power and splendor within the Multiverse Abyss.
Many cultivators watched with awe and admiration.
"No wonder he's the Supreme Crown King."
"Hiss! Such incredible Buddha's power! I'm a demon cultivator, and a Tenth Tribulation Loose Immortal, but I feel that if I were to face him, I'd be instantly converted by his Buddha's light!"
"The Ultimate Demon Lord's demon energy is equally formidable. My Six-Foot Golden Body is already perfected, but if I were to enter that demon energy zone, in just three breaths, I'd be either melted or enslaved!"
"This is what a top cultivator looks like?"
"It's hard to imagine such powerful beings exist beneath the Immortal Realm."
"The worst part is, they're only at the Ninth Stage, not even Loose Immortals! This makes us Loose Immortals seem so weak and insignificant."
Someone sighed.
"Sigh, we do seem weak, but what can we do?"
"This world is full of miracles and people with talents far beyond ours! Moreover, the Multiverse Abyss gathers the top cultivators from countless worlds. How many worlds, how many ages, does it take to produce such freaks?"
In this battle, their strength was incomprehensible, yet not entirely unbelievable."
At these words, most people nodded in agreement.
Indeed!
Such power, as they saw it, was indeed somewhat hard to fathom, an overwhelming display of might.
But then, a thought occurred to them...
What is the Multiverse Abyss?
And who are these people?
These individuals are among the top experts from countless realms, and those not at the pinnacle have no right to be here!
Among these top experts, there are even Triple Crown Kings and Supreme Crown Kings... How could their strength not be extraordinary?
The power of such beings should be strong enough to defy the heavens!
At this moment, everyone's emotions were incredibly complex.
And the aftermath of the battle became increasingly fierce; they retreated again and again, daring not to get close.
At the same time, the commotion of their fight was so loud that even from a distance of over a million miles, everyone in the area could see the astonishing 'special effects' filling the void. Almost everyone in the region noticed and rushed over at top speed.
Therefore...
The number of people gathering around increased.
And those who were shocked and 'rooted to the spot' also grew in number.
Finally, when the number of people in the area exceeded three hundred, the deafening commotion and the chilling aftermath of the battle finally began to 'subside.'
"The battle is about to end!"
Someone whispered.
The others narrowed their eyes.
Not many people spoke.
But at this moment, everyone quietly gathered their Immortal Energy, ready to take action at any moment!
They were not only preparing to seize the Multiverse Core but also guarding against those around them.
Obviously, a massive free-for-all was about to begin!
There was no need to think twice!
As long as the two combatants determined a winner, everyone around would swarm them.
After all, regardless of who won or lost, the other's condition would inevitably be dire. This was the best opportunity; if they missed this chance, how long would they have to wait? Moreover, more and more people would gather...
If they didn't act now, even without fear of death, the chance would become infinitely slim, nearly impossible.
Therefore...
Boom!!!
Another deafening sound erupted, accompanied by dazzling and blinding light. It swept past everyone, and they almost simultaneously reacted.
"Kill!!!"
"Don't get caught up in the fight. Once you succeed, use all means to escape immediately."
"Remember to guard against those around you!"
"First, kill those who have been watching us!"
"..."
They all had their own agendas and burst into action.
Although their individual strength was far inferior to that of the Ultimate Demon Sovereign and his group, there were over three hundred people, all at the peak of the Ninth Stage. At this moment, their collective power was terrifying.
In just an instant, they suppressed the gradually weakening aftermath of the battle.
Simultaneously, they rushed in from all directions, immediately searching for the Multiverse Core and preparing to seize it.
But...
In that instant, they were stunned.
"Where is the Multiverse Core?!"
"No, where are the people?!"
"Where did they go?!"
They were astonished to find that the battle zone was in ruins, with even the 'heavens and earth' destroyed, but where were the people?!
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign, the Triple Crown King, and the Great Monk had all vanished without a trace.
The Multiverse Core had also disappeared with them!
"Could it be that they destroyed each other, and even the Multiverse Core was destroyed in the process?" someone guessed aloud.
"Nonsense!"
But in just an instant, others rebuked, "It's not impossible that they destroyed each other, but if the Multiverse Core was also destroyed, with the energy it contained, we would all be instantly obliterated in an instant. How dare you stand here and talk nonsense?!"
"Then...?"
"Don't you understand? We've all been deceived!"
"The Triple Crown King and the Supreme Crown King are in cahoots! They staged a show, making us believe they were fighting to the death. In reality, they used the aftermath of the battle to drive us back and then escaped using special means!"
"At this moment, they've already used some method to escape our detection."
"If we want to find them again, it will be incredibly difficult!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it indeed!"
"The Supreme Crown King and the Triple Crown King actually used such despicable methods and schemes?"
"A scheme's value isn't in its complexity but in its effectiveness!"
"Of course, the problem now is where to search for them..."
Over three hundred powerful individuals stared at each other, all feeling angry and helpless.
The anticipated massive free-for-all didn't erupt; instead, it turned into a large-scale standoff.
"Everyone, I have a secret technique that can track the two of them!"
At that moment, someone from the crowd spoke up cautiously, "If my technique hasn't failed me, they are already seventy miles away in the southwest direction and are rapidly leaving."
"Why should we trust you?"
Everyone expressed their skepticism, not trusting him.
The man spread his hands and sighed, "Whether you believe me or not, it's your decision."
After speaking, the man shook his head and headed in that direction.
Everyone exchanged glances...
In the end, they still chose to follow.
Since they had already lost their way, they might as well follow and see!
Seeing that they were following, the man smiled.
"Trying to escape...?"
"As long as you don't escape the Sky Gazing Mirror's range, you can only keep being 'harassed.'"
"..."
He then disappeared.
...
Soon, someone noticed his disappearance.
"Where's that kid from earlier?"
"He's gone?
"It's just a clone!" someone remained calm, having their own unique abilities to discern that it wasn't the original.
But another person grew angry, "Then why did you follow us here?!"
"Duh."
The person laughed, "So what if it's a clone? As long as it can tell me where the World Heart is, I don't care if it's a clone or something else."
"Moreover, if you don't have a brain, do you expect everyone to be as stupid as you? In this situation, if the clone didn't come, would the original have to risk it himself?"
"Could he have made it here if he was the original?"
"This isn't a joke, is it?"
"You!!!"
The person responded with a mix of sarcasm and ridicule, leaving many feeling irritated.
However, to their surprise, following the information provided, they actually found traces of the Ultimate Demon Sovereign and the Triple Crown Sovereign!
...
On the other side, the Ultimate Demon Sovereign rushed along the way, taking the opportunity to catch his breath and recover.
By his side, the Triple Crown Sovereign stared coldly at him.
"You boasted about being invincible and capable of defeating the Seven Crown King, didn't you?"
"But in the end, you still needed my help?"
"Hmph!"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign let out a cold huff, "This time, I will rightfully claim the title of Seven Crown King! As for you helping me, did I beg for your assistance?"
"Wasn't it you who took the initiative to help?"
"Moreover..."
"I was careless!"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign finally realized, "Everything went too smoothly. I planned to seize the World Heart, but I never imagined it would be this easy to obtain."
"Even when I look back and think carefully, it doesn't feel like I took it; it's as if they willingly handed it over to me!"
"This is clearly an open scheme."
"They're deliberately setting me up!"
"Once I have the World Heart, I'll become the enemy of the multiverse, and everyone will want to kill me. Even with my strength, it's impossible to defeat everyone, let alone a united force!"
"If it were a year or two, I could keep slaughtering them, suppressing them until the end."
"But with just four and a half years, relying on myself, how can I possibly protect the World Heart..."
"Hmph!"
He let out another cold huff, not continuing his sentence.
But his intention was clear.
It was indeed a heavy burden to bear!
"In the end, you still need my help, and since they've used this scheme to lure you, they won't just sit and wait without a backup plan."
"I wonder what their backup plan is."
"Moreover..."
"The World Heart can't be hidden; it has to be held in hand. This thing is like a guiding lamp, and wherever we go, we'll be targeted."
The Great Monk's eyebrows furrowed, "Add to that their backup plan, and even with the two of us, I'm not sure we can handle it."
"So what?"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign waved his hand dismissively, "I don't care about any of that!"
"If I hadn't obtained it, I wouldn't mind, but now that it's in my possession, it stays with me. I won't let anyone take it from me!"
"You just need to hide and cooperate with me."
"As for the others..."
"If necessary, I'll start killing them from now on!"
"The reason I didn't kill them all before is that there were too many, and they were pulling me in all directions. But now that we've escaped the encirclement, even if we encounter three to five or even eight to nine people, we can easily suppress them..."
"I believe you." The Great Monk's eyebrows rose, but then he spoke in a deep voice, "However, there's a problem. What if there are three to four hundred?"
"What?!"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign felt something was amiss.
"If my senses are correct..."
The Great Monk raised his hand, and a gentle breeze blew by.
"Whispering Wind Technique?"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign's expression changed, "Three to four hundred?!"
Soon, he also discovered their traces.
"What?!"
"No!"
"It's...them?!"
"How could they possibly know our location and catch up in such a short time?"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign was infuriated.
The Triple Crown Sovereign, on the other hand, was both shocked and speechless, "You ask me, and I ask who?"
"But you've underestimated the heroes of the multiverse."
"If we have the means to disappear right under their noses, why can't they have secret techniques to discover our traces?"
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign fell silent.
Damn it!
Anyone can talk, but this is so annoying!
A group of weaklings, clearly not their match, yet they keep harassing with their numbers!
They had just escaped, and now they're back already?! Before the two could get far, they were discovered and surrounded again.
"They're actually here!"
"Incredible!"
"That kid didn't lie to us?"
"Ultimate Demon Sovereign, Triple Crown Sovereign, you two put on quite a show!"
"You're toying with us like monkeys!"
"How dare you!"
They were excited and angry, their expressions far from pleasant.
But more than that, they were exhilarated.
They had thought they lost them, but in the blink of an eye, they caught up.
It was simply too perfect!
...
The Ultimate Demon Sovereign's face turned green.
The Triple Crown Sovereign, on the other hand, was exasperated.
The situation was now more complicated.
Before, at least they could 'work together inside and out'.
But now, they had been exposed.
Even if they didn't know their identities or the relationship between them, their previous actions would undoubtedly make them assume they were accomplices.
