Chapter 2404 - The Decisive Battle Part 12

“For various reasons concerning Ourselves, Our universe was always lacking a little something and could never be brought to completion. But after exchanging blows with you, We finally found that missing something and truly completed this Myth of Creation. Thus, for this, We must sincerely thank you.”

The world darkened, and countless bolts of lightning emerged from its depths. Heaven’s majestic voice boomed, coming from all directions and making it impossible to tell where he really was.

Buzz!

As Heaven spoke, back on the continent, a mountain disappeared, and when it next appeared, it was several thousand feet away from Wang Chong in the void.

This mountain was lush and verdant, and Wang Chong could even see that it was still covered in towering trees, birds leaping about the branches. Heaven had covered the mountain in an invisible barrier so that none of the creatures living on it were endangered.

Seas, land, rivers, and houses—more and more objects began to appear in the void, all of them transported over almost instantly.

Wang Chong couldn’t help but be shaken by this sight.

The Myth of Creation!

Heaven had not just been talking himself up. He truly wanted to bring over the entire continent into this place so that he could become the Celestial Emperor in both name and reality.

This was a true madman. For him, lives were truly just ants.

“It’s truly regretful that you are unwilling to be Our ally. Since that is so, We will make you the first half-step Divine Martial sacrificial offering to Our Myth of Creation.”

Bang!

As Heaven spoke, the sky lit up, and a giant asteroid came hurtling toward Wang Chong.

The world was lit up as brightly as day, the light so brilliant that it was hard to open one’s eyes.

Moreover, this asteroid was more than ten times larger than the meteors that had destroyed that miniature capital, and it was pulsing with spatial energy. In its wake, space distorted and the laws were thrown into disarray.

Wang Chong took this all in with a calm and composed manner. He raised a hand, and in the blink of an eye, universal energy had converged into a black spear. Wang Chong gripped the spear and threw it at the asteroid. The immense energy within this black spear was not at all inferior to that of the asteroid.

One law was connected to all the others!

While there was still a cultivation gap between Wang Chong and Heaven, as a half-step Divine Martial realm expert, he could use energy with the same proficiency as Heaven. Moreover, over the last three years, Wang Chong had transcended in his understanding of martial arts, and he was no longer restricted to any particular form.

Bang!

But Wang Chong had just attacked when there was a flash of light, and a moment later, the spear that Wang Chong had thrown out returned to him. But this time, the tip of that sharp spear was approaching him with frightening speed.

The power of time!

Wang Chong’s eyes widened as he realized that this asteroid was more complicated than it seemed.

Heaven had not merely granted this asteroid the power of space, but the power of time as well. Any technique that tried to attack the asteroid would be reversed on him.

Bang!

In this brief span of time, that blazing asteroid transformed again. Time suddenly accelerated, and that plummeting asteroid instantly crossed the vast distance and appeared right above Wang Chong’s head.

And before the first asteroid had made impact, a second and third asteroid began to hurtle in his direction.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s face chilled, but he felt no fear. Joining together with his three Divine Embryos, a ball of light like a firefly emerged from his body, turning into a field of light that spread his time energy around him.

Only time could fight back against time. In front of a supreme expert who could control time, techniques and moves were meaningless. Against someone of Heaven’s abilities, even the attacks of a Grotto Heaven expert could be reversed.

The stronger the attack, the greater the damage one would deal to oneself.

This was a powerful ability Heaven could use now that his original body was free. With this alone, he was essentially invincible.

Bang!

Wang Chong merged his Stellar Energy with that of his three clones as he extended his index finger and directly struck the first asteroid.

No, this could no longer be called an asteroid!

In Wang Chong’s eyes, it had become an aggregation of time energy and Grotto Heaven energy, a ball of purely destructive energy.

Wang Chong did not choose to directly confront it, but rather thrust his finger at the weakest point of the ‘asteroid’.

A dam of one thousand li could be destroyed by a single ant hole!

Four taels could lift one thousand jin!

Clack! Before that massive asteroid had a chance to destroy anything, it dissolved into dust and smoke.

Wang Chong was only getting started. With his three clones, he began to move from asteroid to asteroid. There were no frightening explosions; Wang Chong used only the smallest amount of time energy to cover himself and the simplest method to destroy the structures of these asteroids and neutralize Heaven’s attacks.

Thousands of asteroids came at him from all directions, but Wang Chong easily neutralized them all, moving amongst them like he was taking a stroll in the park.

“Heaven, you should know that an attack of this level can’t do anything to me,” Wang Chong sternly said.

Wang Chong once more appeared in the center of the void, his three Divine Embryos standing guard around him.

Bzzz! Wang Chong’s hands formed a seal, and then he gripped the Xuanyuan Sword on his waist.

Kacrack! The sword cleaved through the world before him like it was slicing through a curtain. The stars, moon, sun, and even the nebulas were all cleaved apart, and an invisible energy began to spread out from Wang Chong.

The fabric of space trembled, and as if time was reversing, the stars began to shrink and dim, eventually becoming points of light that disappeared in the darkness.

Everything returned to the original void.

Time Reversal!

Wang Chong had directly reversed the birth of this universe.

Although Wang Chong couldn’t spread his time energy throughout the void like Heaven did, he had enough energy to mess around with Heaven’s Myth of Creation.

Silence!

Absolute silence!

With this move from Wang Chong, those blazing asteroids could no longer be produced, and that fierce barrage came to a stop.

A rare moment of calm finally arrived to this world.

But as Wang Chong looked around, he turned his sharp gaze on that place the Xuanyuan Sword had just cleaved through.

In the depths of the Myth of Creation, a resplendent silver throne had appeared.

On this throne sat a middle-aged man that he had never seen before, his face dignified.

With one glance, Wang Chong knew that this was Heaven’s actual body!

Heaven had a domineering gaze, and a natural arrogance rooted in his bones that anyone would remember. But the most striking attribute was his eyes.

In those eyes, countless nebulas were born and died. They contained countless epochs and countless secrets, were unfathomably deep and furtive.

Heaven had far too many legends and secrets. He had lived for eons, and no one knew the specific time he had been born. Heaven had destroyed too many civilizations and worlds, butchered far too many lives. In his eyes, hundreds of millions of living beings were nothing more than mustard seeds. No one could possibly imitate his bearing and expression.

“Truly surprising.”

On the silver throne, Heaven wrinkled his brow, apparently surprised that Wang Chong was able to break the illusion and expose his real body.

“You are stronger than I imagined. You truly are worthy to fight a battle with Us.”

The majestic voice rumbled like thunder as Heaven slowly stood up from the silver throne.

Rumble! As he rose, the fabric of space trembled, the millions of planes in the void unable to endure the power radiating from his body.

As Wang Chong watched, golden fragments of armor flew out of the void and attached themselves to Heaven’s body, covering his shoulder, chest, and other areas until they ultimately formed a suit of armor decorated with dragons.

Heaven reached out, and a silver sword four feet long flew out of the void and into Heaven’s hand.

Heaven’s appearance instantly transformed, becoming magnificent, noble, and hallowed. At the same time, an enormous energy that stood above all other beings in the universe erupted from his body. At this moment, wherever Heaven stood was the center of the universe, like he was the true Celestial Emperor.

Bzzz! As he gripped the sword, the world darkened, and the mood turned heavy as if an immense pressure was descending from above.

Heaven had never before used armor—not during the lunar eclipse battle, the battle in Luo Supreme’s dimension, or in the Celestial Palace incident.

This was the first time Wang Chong had seen Heaven in a fighting posture. It was clear that Heaven had placed Wang Chong on an equal level and would treat him as such.

Clang! Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong summoned the Samsara Battle Armor. Moreover, similar suits of armor appeared on the bodies of the three Divine Embryos. This was armor that Wang Chong had obtained after receiving Xuanyuan’s Stone of Destiny.

“It has been a very long time since We have had an opponent worthy of our power. Wang Chong, you can be proud of yourself. We will use Our strongest technique to end your life.”

Heaven’s voice resounded through hundreds of millions of planes.

“Master of the Universe!”

As Heaven’s voice rang out, he stood up straight, and that silver sword was thrust into the throne before him.
