He can’t be allowed to live!
Genesis Supreme’s heart exploded with killing intent. The more impressive Wang Chong was, the more he wanted to kill him.
Buzz!
A moment later, the already-constricted halo behind Genesis Supreme’s head became even smaller, and the flames erupting from Genesis Supreme’s body grew even more concentrated and crimson.
“Die!”
As Genesis Supreme drew power from the halo, he poured his energy, blood, and soul into the Sword of God, instantly breaking the balance between the two.
The sword instantly broke through Wang Chong’s many spacetime shields and swung at Wang Chong. If this sword struck true, Wang Chong would probably be sliced in half.
But a moment later, Wang Chong slid backward, instantly creating distance between him and Genesis Supreme and avoiding this strike. Moreover, Wang Chong blinked away, somehow disappearing from Genesis Supreme’s senses.
Bang!
A split-second later, Wang Chong appeared behind Genesis Supreme, the Origin Immortal Sword in his hand bursting with blazing lightning as it thrust at Genesis Supreme’s back.
The entire process was silent, and by the time Genesis Supreme noticed, the sword was only a few inches from his back.
Bang!
A familiar energy erupted from the much smaller halo behind Genesis Supreme’s head, firmly blocking Wang Chong’s sword.
A starving camel was still larger than a horse, and while Genesis Supreme’s halo was much shrunken, it still possessed formidable defensive capabilities that Wang Chong found difficult to break.
Bang!
Genesis Supreme’s reaction was extremely fast. As the halo blocked Wang Chong’s attack, he swung his left hand, and tens of thousands of golden-white Halos of Spacetime appeared and swept toward Wang Chong. Meanwhile, Genesis Supreme swung the Sword of God at Wang Chong.
Using spacetime energy to restrain Wang Chong while the Sword of God attacked—for an old monster like Genesis Supreme that had lived for thousands of years, this was an extremely proficient process, with no gap between the reaction and the counter.
But as the sword swung, it struck nothing but empty air. Wang Chong had already disappeared.
“How could this be!?”
Genesis Supreme grimaced. When both sides had about the same control over spacetime energy, his sword should have never missed.
Wang Chong was actually a little bit faster than him.
Before Genesis Supreme could think about it any more, he sensed a sliver of danger coming from another direction and hastily swung his sword.
Sure enough, Wang Chong did appear in that other direction. If he had not been extremely strong and reacted extremely fast, he really might have been hit by Wang Chong’s attack.
Boomboomboom!
The two peak Grotto Heaven experts continued to exchange blows in the air, constantly changing positions as majestic waves of energy intersected. Amidst this ‘second capital’, Wang Chong and Genesis Supreme were constantly appearing and reappearing.
“Bastard!” Genesis Supreme roared repeatedly, his heart burning with rage. This was probably the most frustrating battle he had ever fought.
The Sword of God had the ability to slice through all things in the world, but Wang Chong did not give him the chance. He seemed to have better control over spacetime than Genesis Supreme, and though Genesis Supreme swung his sword again and again, utilizing his golden-white Halos of Spacetime to their maximum, he had no way of pinning down Wang Chong, and all of his attacks missed.
And each time, Wang Chong would appear at some unexpected place to attack.
Other than the first exchange, the two had not made any sort of physical exchange. At most, their Stellar Energies and halos collided.
This wouldn’t be important in the past, but at this time, Genesis Supreme was burning up his mental energy, blood, and soul to use the Sword of God. He was consuming his energy at an astonishing rate, and if the battle dragged on, the battle would be extremely disadvantageous to him.
“Brat, is that all you have?” Genesis Supreme sternly called out, his face savage as his voice rumbled all around him.
On the other side, after having his attack once more staved off by Genesis Supreme’s halo, Wang Chong blinked away.
“Little Nightmare, have you noticed anything?”
As Wang Chong battled with Genesis Supreme through the dimensions, he communicated with the Nightmare Beast using Psychic Energy.
“Genesis Supreme is not an ordinary expert. We can’t defeat him through this method. Once he realizes this tactic is no good, he will stop burning away his soul and blood and retreat!”
Wang Chong appeared confident, but he was mentally extremely tense.
Genesis Supreme was far too powerful. The current goal of Wang Chong’s tactic was to delay Genesis Supreme. If he were allowed to enter the battlefield, there was no telling how much damage he would inflict on the army.
Genesis Supreme seemed to know what Wang Chong was thinking and what he most feared, and he sinisterly said, “Wang Chong, you’re still not coming out? Since you don’t want to fight, I’ll put aside our battle for now and go to deal with your army. Once the bodies of those ant soldiers are scattered across the battlefield, you might be more willing to fight with me!”
Playing hide-and-seek in the sky to constantly drain away his soul and blood was simply impossible. Since Wang Chong wasn’t willing to fight with him, he would force him out.
The Nightmare Beast could sense Wang Chong’s situation, and anxiously called out, “Soon! I just need a little more time! Master, clash with him with Psychic Energy one more time!”
“Fine! Genesis Supreme, let’s fight again!”
Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, and he immediately reappeared in front of Genesis Supreme.
“Hahaha, finally willing to come out!”
Genesis Supreme saw that his words had worked, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
Bang!
Genesis Supreme once more swung the Sword of God, slicing through the fabric of space. Preceding the sword was Genesis Supreme’s immense Psychic Energy, howling toward Wang Chong as a giant wave.
Wang Chong’s movement technique was far too slippery. Genesis Supreme intended to use Psychic Energy to disrupt Wang Chong and prevent him from easily avoiding the attack.
But Genesis Supreme had underestimated Wang Chong, for Wang Chong had no intention of dodging.
“Stellar Universe!”
With a loud roar, Wang Chong merged his Psychic Energy with the Nightmare Beast’s and used his strongest psychic ability.
In the mental dimension, Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy coalesced into millions of stars and suns. Each sun was dazzling, dense, and bursting with limitless energy. This grandiose display was enough to leave anyone stunned.
Bang!
A moment later, Wang Chong’s vast stellar universe slammed into Genesis Supreme’s Psychic Energy.
Psychic Energy was extremely important to a martial artist, directly linked to their life. This was the first time Wang Chong had merged his energy with the Nightmare Beast’s and attacked Genesis Supreme without reservation.
“What is this?!”
Genesis Supreme had lived for countless years, but even he was shocked by the universe Wang Chong had created with his Psychic Energy.
The millions of blazing stars slammed into his consciousness, and even a Grotto Heaven realm expert like Genesis Supreme couldn’t help but yell in shock from this unprecedented blow.
Though Genesis Supreme had lived for numerous epochs and seen many things, he had never seen a universe simulated like this. This was a power that not even Genesis Supreme could take.
“Bastard! I’ll kill you!”
Genesis Supreme felt an intense pain in his head, like it was about to explode. But though he had taken a wound like never before, Genesis Supreme still did not lose himself. As their Psychic Energies clashed, Genesis Supreme’s Sword of God slashed at Wang Chong.
Bang!
Stimulated by the intense pain, Genesis Supreme’s Sword of God erupted with even greater power. The numerous, densely layered spacetime shields were instantly sliced through, and that terrifying sword even managed to reach Wang Chong’s gauntleted right fist.
The Samsara Battle Armor was far tougher than the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor, several hundred times tougher than steel. But he could tell that the Samsara Battle Armor could not block the Sword of God.
Swish! As the sword swept past, a white scar appeared on Wang Chong’s gauntlet. The Sword of God had sliced right through the Samsara Battle Armor.
But a moment later, a dark golden halo erupted from Wang Chong’s feet, and he blinked away, barely managing to avoid Genesis Supreme’s attack.
Whoosh!
The cold wave howled past the pair as Wang Chong and Genesis Supreme once more pulled away from each other.
“Master, I found it!” As Wang Chong was completely focused and waiting for the next attack, the Nightmare Beast’s delighted voice rang out in his mind.
“I found his weakness!”
As the Nightmare Beast spoke, it immediately shared its vision with Wang Chong.
The scene before Wang Chong shifted, revealing a completely different sort of world.
In this gray-white world, Wang Chong could see a tiny white dot on the lower left abdomen of Genesis Supreme.
This white dot was very unremarkable, the size of a mustard seed.
“This is the flaw in his soul. He has been with this body for too little time, and he had to appear on this battlefield and battle with Master before he was able to completely fuse with it.”
The Nightmare Beast was so excited that its voice was trembling. As a purely mental creature, the Nightmare Beast could see and sense something completely different from Psychic Energy practitioners. It had some talents and abilities that not even Wang Chong could emulate.
“He’s very smart and knows of his weakness, so he took great pains to conceal it. It’s not on his head, but on his lower left abdomen. He must have used some special method to do this. But in the clash with Master just now, he exposed the weakness, allowing me to discover it!”
“Little Nightmare, I knew that you could do it!”
Wang Chong was also delighted, for this was now an opportunity to turn the tables.
