“I don’t know about any god, but no one can self-detonate in front of the Nightmare Beasts, and no one can hurt a Nightmare Beast’s master.”
Behind Genesis Supreme, the Nightmare Beast, which had just occupied Genesis Supreme’s body, gripped the halo and Genesis Supreme’s soul, and a black stream of energy flowed through its arm into the soul.
The black energy exerted an enormous pull that not only fixed Genesis Supreme and the halo in space, it also infiltrated Genesis Supreme’s soul and completely sealed off his ability to self-detonate.
The halo had been growing redder and more dazzling, about to explode at any moment, but a moment later, its color began to fade, growing weaker and weaker.
Nearby, Wang Chong smiled at the sight.
As a peak Grotto Heaven realm existence, Genesis Supreme should have been much more difficult to deal with. But after being struck by his Son of Heaven’s Sword, Genesis Supreme was much weaker, and he was powerless to resist a purely mental creature like the Nightmare Beast.
Genesis Supreme wanted to self-detonate, but the Nightmare Beast was his greatest bane.
“Genesis Supreme, enjoy the last moments of your life.
“Little Nightmare, Genesis Supreme’s soul is yours. It will be perfect for restoring the energy you used and strengthening your soul. It will also allow you to better control this new body,” Wang Chong nonchalantly said to the Nightmare Beast.
“Many thanks, Master!”
Delighted, the Nightmare Beast began to absorb Genesis Supreme’s soul at an even faster rate.
Though it had hidden in Genesis Supreme’s body and contracted its soul to the utmost to avoid Wang Chong’s attack, it had also been injured. By absorbing Genesis Supreme’s soul energy, it could restore its lost energy and repair the body.
“No!
“Why is it like this? I don’t want to go!”
As he felt his soul dwindling and fading as it became the Nightmare Beast’s food, Genesis Supreme couldn’t help but wail in despair.
But regardless of how unwilling he was, he could not avert his death. Without a physical body, and countered by the Nightmare Beast’s formidable Psychic Energy, even bereft of his Spacetime Talisman, Genesis Supreme had nothing. He was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Boom!
At the final moment, countless black wisps carrying faint pulses of soul energy exploded in the darkness, upon which Genesis Supreme’s soul vanished from the world.
“Wang Chong, you will pay for this! Heaven will not let you go!”
The echo of Genesis Supreme’s final roar lingered in the air.
Heaven?
As Wang Chong listened to Genesis Supreme’s final cry, his pupils constricted, his eyes erupting with savage killing intent.
“One day, I will execute Heaven and bring an end to this source of calamity.”
Genesis Supreme might have been making a threat, but for Wang Chong, even if Heaven didn’t come to find him, he would eventually go to find Heaven.
Genesis Supreme was just a puppet. Heaven was the true archcriminal.
As these thoughts passed through his mind, Wang Chong quickly calmed down. At this time, Wang Chong heard the Nightmare Beast’s voice.
“Master, Genesis Supreme is dead. This is the last item he left behind. It should be of help to Master.”
The Nightmare Beast offered up a round orange plate with mysterious symbols and characters that Wang Chong did not recognize.
The plate’s energy pulses were much weaker, but Wang Chong could still recognize it as the halo divine tool that Genesis Supreme had used.
Without this powerful ritual tool. Genesis Supreme would not have been able to cause Wang Chong so much trouble.
Wang Chong fell quiet for a few moments, then he took the halo from the Nightmare Beast. This was the strongest divine tool that Wang Chong had yet seen, and judging by how Genesis Supreme had used it, it would be of great assistance to him, whether in its defensive state or in its ability to transform into the Sword of God.
Swish! As his hand touched it, the orange plate erupted with lightning-like tongues of domineering energy.
It really is powerful!
Wang Chong weighed it in his hand and pondered.
Genesis Supreme’s repeated use had somewhat damaged this divine tool, but with some support, this divine tool would regain its formidable power.
Only An Lushan is left! Wang Chong said to himself.
Though Genesis Supreme was dead, An Lushan still lived and had fled to the north. Once this criminal of the realm was slain, this war would truly end.
Whoosh!
Floating high in the air, Wang Chong subconsciously glanced down.
By now, the war was essentially over. The alliance soldiers were either dead or injured, and while there was still some resistance, it was impossible for it to amount to anything, and Wang Chong didn’t need to worry much.
But as he turned his gaze to the southwest, his eyes flickered.
On this battlefield, an army was still actively fighting.
“It’s the Yeluohe!” Wang Chong immediately identified who they were.
Though the explosion had wiped out more than half of the Yeluohe, the several thousand survivors, though no longer presenting much of a threat, still had their formidable fighting power and unkillable bodies. Though the Tang elites were working together to deal with them, it was still proving rather difficult to suppress them.
The Nightmare Beast was linked to Wang Chong, so it immediately noticed the Yeluohe on the ground. “Master, give me some time and I can take them. This body of Genesis Supreme’s has the ability to control these Yeluohe!”
“You can control them?”
Wang Chong was taken aback at first, but he soon understood. Genesis Supreme had originally controlled the Yeluohe, and since the Nightmare Beast now occupied his body, many of his possessions had changed ownership, including the Yeluohe. For Wang Chong, this was truly a pleasant surprise.
“Mm, I’ll leave it to you!”
Wang Chong nodded.
The Nightmare Beast made progress much faster than Wang Chong anticipated. Less than a second later, it seemed to solve something, and wisps of mental energy erupted from the Nightmare Beast’s body and traveled to the ground.
A few moments later, those fierce and troublesome Yeluohe suddenly froze.
“This…”
Li Siye was leading the Wushang Cavalry in a bitter battle against the three-thousand-some remaining Yeluohe, and when he saw all of them freeze, some of his men even using the moment to cut off the heads of some Yeluohe to no reaction, Li Siye was struck dumb.
“It’s His Highness!”
Though he didn’t know what was happening, Li Siye immediately associated it with Wang Chong. He was the only person capable of this.
At this time, Li Siye heard Wang Chong’s familiar voice.
“Genesis Supreme is dead. The battle is over!”
Wang Chong’s voice resounded across the battlefield.
Within the fortress, after a brief moment of silence, heaven-shaking cheers erupted.
That supreme figure backing the rebel army had died, so this battle was truly over, with no ambiguity to its outcome.
As for those alliance generals still leading their men to resist within the fortress, they felt like they had been struck by lightning, and they immediately lost all will to fight.
The sovereigns had fled, and even the supreme Genesis Supreme had fallen. There was no hope of winning this battle.
“I surrender!”
Weapons thudded to the ground as the last remnants of resistance in the fortress disappeared.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a tall and erect figure landed in the southwestern part of the fortress.
“Ah!”
Cries of alarm came from the surroundings as everyone saw the Nightmare-Beast-possessed Genesis Supreme, but Li Siye calmly stopped them.
“Don’t panic. It’s His Highness’s man!”
Li Siye quickly stepped forward.
Many people did not know of the Nightmare Beast’s existence, including Zhangchou Jianqiong and the others, but Li Siye did.
Li Siye reached the top of a ruined building before turning to the Nightmare Beast and asking, “Little Nightmare, where is His Highness?”
The Nightmare Beast’s reply was concise. “Master has already gone off in pursuit of An Lushan!”
……
Whoosh!
Far to the north of the steel fortress, on the Eastern Turkic steppe, a slightly chubby figure fled in panic like a stray dog, the cold winds howling around him.
“!!!”
“Why is it like this? How did I lose?”
Though the cold wave ran rampant around him, An Lushan’s mind was in even greater disarray than his surroundings.
At one moment, he had been basking in victory and prepared to welcome his coronation, but in the next moment, his army was in tatters and he was fleeing all alone.
Even now, An Lushan didn’t understand where he had gone wrong. All of this had happened too suddenly!
“Wang Chong, you once more ruined my plans! I won’t let you go! One day, I’ll return everything you did back to you!”
An Lushan gnashed his teeth in fury.
Wang Chong!
These two words were like the bane of his existence. No matter what he did, so long as he ran into those two words, he would meet with defeat.
Boom!
Before An Lushan had time to think, a massive explosion came from behind him.
In shock, An Lushan turned his head and saw a resplendent and hallowed beam of Sword Qi slicing through the heavens, even cleaving through the cold wave.
An Lushan was struck dumb.
He didn’t know where this attack had come from, but he was certain that Genesis Supreme had not unleashed this Sword Qi.
Genesis Supreme was not skilled in the art of the sword, and this was not his energy.
“Wang Chong!”
A thought occurred to him, and An Lushan became shocked and enraged.
