In the face of absolute power, numbers were meaningless.
In this explosive wave from the teleportation gate, these tens of thousands of warriors summoned by the men in black had been maimed and crushed.
Wang Chong had earlier been thinking about how to deal with these nomadic warriors that were preparing to attack Arabia, but there was no need for that now.
There was not a single living tribal warrior within several hundred li.
Silence!
Deathly silence!
The shores of the Caspian Sea were a scene of devastation.
Cough, cough!
After a long while, with a dry cough, a figure emerged out of the shattered surface.
“Too powerful! It will be another few months until I can recover!”
Divine Embryo 1 sat on the ground and coughed up some more ‘blood’.
Divine embryos did not have blood. This was the vital essence contained in their cores.
The explosion of the teleportation gate, the turbulent energy of spacetime, and the energy core produced an unimaginable power that had left an indelible wound on Divine Embryo 1.
The dark green Celestial Armor on its surface had been blasted into tattered bits.
Divine Embryo 1 was the best of his three divine embryos, and as the strongest, it was the best bulwark against the explosion.
“It’s fine! Earth Movement managed to lessen the power of the explosion, or else we really would have died.”
Wang Chong counted himself lucky.
Buzz!
Wang Chong let out a long breath. Soon afterward, Divine Embryo 3 came over and placed a hand on Divine Embryo 1. There was a hissing sound as icy energy began to surge into Divine Embryo 1’s body.
Crack! Clack! With this movement from Divine Embryo 3, azure blocks of ice took form and dropped to the ground, forming a small pile at Divine Embryo 1’s feet.
This was freezing energy that had infiltrated Divine Embryo 1’s body while it had been hiding next to the energy core.
Using the energy core to destroy Firmament Supreme had not come without a price. Even though Divine Embryo 3 had used its Ice Element talents to help Divine Embryo 1 resist the cold, the terrifying chill had still left its mark on Divine Embryo 1.
It seems that I’ll have to rest and recover for some time once I get back! Wang Chong mentally noted as he inspected his injuries.
That azure energy core had probably contained the most terrifying Ice Element energy in the entire world. It was not something that just anyone could interact with, and the sole positive to this whole ordeal was that Wang Chong hadn’t been around the core for long, so his injuries were not that severe.
“Let’s go! Now that the teleportation gate has been destroyed along with Firmament Supreme, the men in black should have been dealt a major blow. They will probably be a little bit more restrained for some time!”
Wang Chong stood up and prepared to leave. In the distance, the faceless man spotted Wang Chong and began to make his way over.
In this explosion, the faceless man had been the most fortunate.
He knew that he was too weak and couldn’t take part in Wang Chong’s battle with Firmament Supreme. Instead, his hatred for the men in black had led him to slaughter the other men in black during the battle, unintentionally taking him far away from the heart of the explosion.
Moreover, when the teleportation gate was about to explode, he had immediately noticed something strange and begun to flee. Thus, his injuries had been the lightest.
“Master!”
The faceless man saw the three divine embryos and rushed over.
But a moment later, he came to a shuddering stop, apparently spotting something.
Wang Chong immediately spotted the faceless man’s strange reaction and instinctively turned his head. But a moment later, squelch! A golden short halberd pierced through Divine Embryo 1’s back and out from its front.
Shock!
Time seemed to grind to a halt.
Wang Chong stared at the golden short halberd protruding from his chest in disbelief.
Too sudden!
He had not been prepared for this in the slightest!
“You three damned things! For destroying my teleportation gate, I’ll kill you all!”
A thunderous roar brimming with bottomless hatred and murderous chill resounded in everyone’s ears.
Squelch! As if summoned, the golden short halberd extracted itself from Divine Embryo 1’s body and disappeared.
Only now did Divine Embryo 1 shudder and vomit its vital essence.
Too powerful!
The golden halberd had been absurdly sharp, and Divine Embryo 1’s Celestial Armor had been wholly incapable of stopping it.

“Firmament Supreme! It’s Firmament Supreme! He’s not dead!”
The faceless man’s heart trembled, his body going cold and his breath almost freezing.
In the distance, as if in response to his voice, a giant, golden Halo of Spacetime appeared in the air. Inside this halo was a region of collapsed space. Suddenly, in a flash of light, a disheveled Firmament Supreme emerged from the spacetime tunnel.
His emblematic silver robe was now in tatters and stained with blood, retaining not even a shred of its former elegance.
Firmament Supreme’s breathing was ragged and his chest was slightly caved in. It was clear that Firmament Supreme had been badly wounded by that enormous explosion, but he was still alive.
Swoosh!
Firmament Supreme waved his hand, upon which that golden short halberd shrilly flew through the air and back into his hand.
Firmament Supreme’s body seethed with baneful energy, his eyes freezing cold as he glared at Wang Chong.
“Did you think you could escape?”
Firmament Supreme gnashed his teeth as his icy voice resonated through the world.
Wang Chong, the Nightmare Beast, and the faceless man almost stopped breathing.
Not dead!
Such a large explosion, such destructive energy! Wang Chong had not presumed that anyone could survive this, but to his utter shock, Firmament Supreme had survived, and he could still control spacetime.
Wang Chong felt as if he had been dropped into an icehouse.
His entire body tensed, and only one thought remained in his mind.
Run!
Firmament Supreme was far more powerful than he had predicted, and he was not capable of winning against him.
Though Firmament Supreme was heavily injured and significantly weakened, Wang Chong had also been badly injured in the explosion. Wang Chong’s Divine Embryo 1 had additionally been injured by Firmament Supreme’s ritual tool.
He didn’t know what that golden short halberd was made of, but it was unbelievably powerful. If Divine Embryo 1 couldn’t block it, then neither could the other divine embryos.
Wang Chong’s plans had been thrown into complete disarray. If he wanted to live, he could only flee.
“Run!
“Split up!” Wang Chong called out to the faceless man.
Firmament Supreme was simply too frightening. If the four of them were together, they would all die. But if they split up, Firmament Supreme would only target him, so the faceless man at least could escape.
Buzz!
Divine Embryo 1 suppressed the pain, grabbed Divine Embryos 2 and 3, and sank into the ground with Earth Movement, the soil rippling outward as they disappeared.
Firmament Supreme’s savage halberd had torn straight through his Shanzhong Point, which would have meant death for a body of regular flesh and blood.
But divine embryos were natural products that were slowly created over the course of tens of thousands of years. They had an extremely formidable vitality, but even so, Divine E
mbryo 1 was badly wounded, as was the soul and consciousness that Wang Chong had attached to it.
Dirt parted like water before Divine Embryo 1 as it tunneled through the earth. Divine Embryos 2 and 3 transferred all their energy to it so that it could focus entirely on escaping.
Grotto Heaven realm experts had absolute dominance over the sky and surface. No matter how Wang Chong ran, he would never be able to escape Firmament Supreme.
If Wang Chong wanted to get out from Firmament Supreme’s grasp, his only chance was underground. Whether it was True Lord Yellow Dragon, Genesis Supreme, or Firmament Supreme, these Grotto Heaven experts did not possess Earth Movement abilities.
Grotto Heaven experts have a Psychic Energy range of around one hundred li. Once I get out of this range, even someone of Firmament Supreme’s strength can’t do anything to me.
Wang Chong went numb with fear, and his heart thumped rapidly. The danger presented by Firmament Supreme followed him like a shadow, or a maggot clinging to bone.
His only hope was that the earth would prove enough of an obstruction that Firmament Supreme would not be able to deal with him.
Bang!
An intense feeling of danger came from behind him, and Wang Chong immediately changed directions, making an arc in the subterranean world as he changed course.
As he did so, a golden short halberd came out of nowhere and slammed into Wang Chong’s original position, the explosion of Stellar Energy sending quakes through the earth.
If Wang Chong had been just a little slower, he would have been heavily injured by this blow.
Thwish!
After this miss, a palm-sized Halo of Spacetime appeared around the halberd, vibrating for a moment before vanishing together with the halberd.
The Power of Spacetime!
When Wang Chong ‘saw’ this, his heart trembled. He had not expected Firmament Supreme to be capable of merging his Power of Spacetime with his short halberd, allowing him to ignore the earth and attack Wang Chong.
The Power of Spacetime could not be defended against. Even though Wang Chong had burrowed into the ground, Firmament Supreme’s golden halberd could still reach him.
Bang!
As he was thinking, he once more felt danger, and his heart tightened as he swerved down.
Where he had been standing, the golden halberd appeared again, but this time with even greater force. The explosion was so great that the surrounding earth for several thousand feet around crumbled and caved in.
Buzz!
The small golden halo appeared again, and the halberd jumped inside and disappeared.
On the surface, Firmament Supreme opened his hand. A Halo of Spacetime appeared in front of him, and that halberd entered his hand.
Even though Wang Chong had perfectly dodged the last two attacks, Firmament Supreme remained unmoved and unperturbed.
He crossed several thousand feet with a single step, instantly appearing where Wang Chong had used his Earth Movement ability.
“Hmph! Get out here! You can’t escape!”
His eyes cold, he squatted down and reached out with his hand into the ground.
Rumble!
The earth around Firmament Supreme quaked, all of the surface for tens of thousands of feet trembling as golden Halos of Spacetime spread out and traveled into the earth.
Deep underground, Wang Chong was fleeing deeper into the earth when golden light suddenly appeared around him. The water-like dirt around him instantly became as tough as steel, and a massive, golden halo appeared around the three divine embryos.
“Not good!”
Wang Chong instantly paled.
He instinctively unleashed Stellar Energy to break free, but it was too late.
Boom! A tremendous force pulled Wang Chong’s three clones upward.
“Come out!”
Firmament Supreme’s bone-chilling voice exploded into his ears.
The pitch-black underground world disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Chong’s three clones appeared on the snow-covered surface.
In front of them was Firmament Supreme’s familiar figure, looming there like a mountain.
Wang Chong’s body trembled, his heart sinking.
“Spacetime Sunder!”
Firmament Supreme’s eyes flashed as he opened his hand. Spacetime vibrated as golden halos burst forth and engulfed Wang Chong’s clones.
“Move!”
The sense of danger reached maximum concentration. There was no time for anything else, so Wang Chong’s clones lunged forward, pushing the Shadow Fiend Art to its limits to dodge those dangerous Halos of Spacetime and attack Firmament Supreme.
The Great Destruction Art!
The Origin Lance!
Life Execution!
Majestic attacks erupted from the three divine embryos. The final attack, none other Su Zhengchen’s Art of God and Demon Obliteration, had come from Divine Embryo 2.
Bang!
When Wang Chong’s storm of attacks struck those Halos of Spacetime, the halos immediately dimmed and began to tremble.
“It works!”
Wang Chong was elated.
Their earlier attacks had had no effect on Firmament Supreme, but now, though his attacks were still being blocked by the halos, the halos now appeared extremely unstable. This was proof enough that Firmament Supreme’s injuries were much more severe than he had imagined and that he still had a chance to fight back.
“A clown’s tricks!” Firmament Supreme scoffed in his aloof voice, and as he spoke, the Halos of Spacetime once more swept toward Wang Chong’s group, ready to crush and tear.
But at this moment—
Roooar!
An inhuman roar rang out, and the Nightmare Beast unleashed a tremendous amount of Psychic Energy that slammed into Firmament Supreme’s mind.
Firmament Supreme went pale, the golden halos pausing in the air, with half of them simply crumbling away.
“Master, his soul is injured much more badly than it appears. Find a way to attack his mind!” The Nightmare Beast’s anxious voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.
At that moment, the Nightmare Beast had discovered an enormous weakness on Firmament Supreme. While Firmament Supreme remained powerful and divine, his mind was far from that state.
The explosion on the shores of the Caspian Sea had been caused by the combined effect of the collapsing teleportation gate and the exploding azure energy core.
Long before, Wang Chong had noticed that this energy core was unique, its energy capable of disrupting and damaging the mind, even freezing the soul.
Firmament Supreme had been near the exploding energy core, and while he had survived, his mind was badly damaged, almost about to break apart.
Chapter 2082 - Moment of Life or Death!
Chapter 2082: Moment of Life or Death!
“Bastard! So it was you! The corpse of a soul still dares to act so impudently against this god!”
Firmament Supreme’s eyes chilled in realization, and his index finger thrust out. A powerful bolt of energy infused with the obliterating power of spacetime hurtled toward the Nightmare Beast Core.
If this attack struck, the Nightmare Beast Core would be instantly destroyed.
“Careful!”
Wang Chong’s heart trembled. While fighting with Firmament Supreme, he had been hiding the Nightmare Beast’s energy, but while he could deceive a Grotto Heaven expert like Firmament Supreme for a moment, exposure was inevitable.
Bang!
Wang Chong summoned the Trayastrimsa Heaven to protect the Nightmare Beast Core. Boom! Divine Embryo 1 shuddered and then flew out like a ragdoll.
“Ice-Sealed World!”
Just when Firmament Supreme was about to pursue, Divine Embryo 3 flew up and unleashed all of its Stellar Energy.
In an explosion of blue light, ice sealed the surrounding several dozen li, white frost manifesting out of nothing. It appeared as if the entire world had been frozen, all time stopped.
> In the middle of the Ice-Sealed World, a layer of ice enveloped Firmament Supreme.
“A good chance! Go!”
With the Ice-Sealed World freezing Firmament Supreme once more, Divine Embryo 2 swiftly summoned the Trayastrimsa Heaven, having it take the form of a golden spear several dozen feet long and throwing it at Firmament Supreme.
Kaclack!
But a split-second later, the cold ice cracked and fell apart before the golden spear could even get close. A white and fair fist struck out from the crumbling ice and blasted away Divine Embryos 2 and 3.
“You thought the same move would trip up this god twice?!”
Firmament Supreme shook his body and immediately broke free of the Ice-Sealed World.
The first use of the Ice-Sealed World had managed to seal Firmament Supreme for about a second, but now, it couldn’t even hold him for half a second.
“How could this be!?”
Upon seeing this sight, Divine Embryo 3 went pale.
Firmament Supreme had clearly developed a resistance to the Ice-Sealed World, which was ill news for the group.
Meanwhile, Firmament Supreme did not rest after knocking away the three divine embryos.
“Die for me!”
Firmament Supreme coldly stomped forward, and the air rumbled with thunder. A moment later, a massive psychic storm centered around Firmament Supreme erupted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With several explosions, the three divine embryos trembled and were sent flying once more.
Divine Embryos 1 and 3, which had the worst injuries, went ghastly pale, their souls almost shattered by Firmament Supreme’s strike.
A centipede would not fall over even in death. It was true that Firmament Supreme had been heavily injured by the explosion, but he was still far stronger than Wang Chong’s group.
“Even when this god is heavily injured, he can still kill you as easily as turning over his hand!”
He turned his hand over, and that terrifying and unstoppable golden short halberd appeared once more.
Bang!
With a forceful toss, the golden halberd flew out.
Wang Chong’s mind was shaken as a feeling of intense danger welled up.
He had personally experienced the power of this short halberd before, so he well understood that he was incapable of stopping it.
