Fighting the Masked Man

As the Underworld Lord agreed, the Heavenly Evil God's gaze toward the Heavenly Emperor suddenly revealed a hint of coldness. In the past, he might have been somewhat wary of the Heavenly Emperor, but now that everyone had become a god of the Great Thousand Worlds and controlled the rules and authority of the Great Thousand Worlds, he really didn't know how he could lose in a two-on-one situation.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor's original strength was still above theirs, with the support of the power of the Great Thousand World, the gap between them would be infinitely narrowed.

The power over the vast world that he and the Underworld Lord controlled was enough to give them an overwhelming advantage.

The Heavenly Emperor calmly watched the Underworld Lord step into the endless void first, shifting the battlefield to the edge of the Great Thousand World. After all, a battle at this level was enough to bring devastating destruction to a great world. Yao Yan now regarded the Great Thousand World as his private property, so he naturally would not allow such a thing to happen.

"In this final battle, the Underworld Lord must not hold back in the slightest. Once we defeat the Heavenly Emperor, the entire Great Thousand World will belong to us!" The Heavenly Evil God glanced at the black-robed Emperor Shadow beside him and reminded him.

The Underworld Lord nodded slightly, then carried the Underworld Tower to the edge of the world, with the Heavenly Evil God following closely behind.

The final battle has begun!

……

The vast world was now in an eerie calm as everyone awaited the outcome of the final battle. This battle was one that no one could interfere with, as the level of combat was beyond the capacity of even Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns to withstand; even the slightest aftershock would be enough to crush them.

Lin Dong's combat strength has also dropped back to the half-step Dominator Realm. His injuries were forcibly stabilized by Yao Yan, but his condition was still very poor. His spiritual body had ruptured in many places, and even his soul had been severely damaged. At this moment, even if he wanted to intervene in the final battle, he would be somewhat powerless.

"Leave it to the Heavenly Emperor! We can only trust him in this battle!" Little Marten pulled Lin Dong back and said in a deep voice, "In your current state, even if you go, you will only become a burden to the Heavenly Emperor and will not be able to bring him much help."

Lin Dong clenched his fist, then slowly released it. He knew Xiao Diao was right; in his current state, he couldn't possibly intervene in the final battle.

"You've done enough," Little Marten comforted her, then continued, "As for this final battle, I believe the Heavenly Emperor will emerge victorious. You should have faith in him; after all, your teacher has never done anything without certainty!"

Lin Dong nodded slightly.

Almost simultaneously, a destructive aura spread throughout the entire Great Thousand World. Three terrifying pressures raged at the edge of the world. Under everyone's gaze, the entire void began to crack. The scene was truly earth-shattering, as if the whole world was heading towards its end, and heaven and earth were in fury.

Everyone was gazing up at the void, and they could all feel the terror of this battle. The overwhelming pressure made their souls tremble.

"They've started fighting!" Lin Dong's eyes flashed slightly. With his strength, he could naturally see the three people fighting. With every move they made, the power of heaven and earth in the entire Great Thousand World was surging, the power of rules was intertwined, obliterating all the laws of heaven and earth, and even the void was constantly being annihilated and crushed, turning everything into nothingness.

This level of confrontation also made Lin Dong understand the gap between the Sovereign Realm and the God Realm. The power he borrowed could only be maintained within the Great Thousand World. Once outside the domain, the power would inevitably be reduced, and the farther away from the Great Thousand World, the more severely his own strength would decline.

However, the combat power of the three people in front of them will not be diminished in the slightest, because they have integrated the origin of the Great Thousand World into themselves, and they are equivalent to the Great Thousand World, with great power returning to themselves.

"This is terrifying! Will the Great Thousand World be destroyed?" Little Marten clicked his tongue. The commotion of the battle before him was even more terrifying than before. Compared to this, the previous fights seemed to be just appetizers. The current confrontation was a true life-or-death struggle.

Faced with such a level, even the Heavenly Sovereign seemed to be nothing more than a slightly larger ant, whose remaining power could sweep away a large area.

No one answered Little Mink's question; everyone was waiting for the battle to end.

……

The endless void is chaotic and disorderly. Compared to the vibrant life of the world, this place is like a desolate wasteland.

After exchanging blows with Tianxie Shen and the others, Yao Yan stood in the void, surrounded by cracks in the void. These spatial cracks were different from those in the Great Thousand World; they were shattered spacetime, even containing fragments of time.

"Heavenly Emperor, it's time to end this test and get serious!" The Heavenly Evil God smiled faintly, then took the lead in forming hand seals and using the forbidden techniques inherited from his bloodline. These techniques, which could only be used by the Nine-Eyed God in his original state by consuming his own essence, could now truly unleash their power.

He clasped his hands together, and black light spots rose from between his palms. Each light spot swelled in the wind and, after a few breaths, transformed into a black ball of light about ten thousand feet in size.

The sphere of light was so dark that it swallowed up even the light as it passed by, and the surrounding space collapsed as a result.

They resemble real black holes.

He revealed his fangs and ferocity, his voice now carrying a hint of confidence and composure: "Divine Art, Dark Annihilation Realm."

Countless terrifying black spheres instantly covered the void where the Heavenly Emperor was located, like real black holes. Terrifying divine power of rules surged within them. That terrifying power was enough to tear apart the entire world and easily devour any supercontinent, annihilating it in an instant.

Compared to the newly ascended gods, the Heavenly Emperor and the Underworld Lord, he possesses a complete divine inheritance. After dealing with the Heavenly Emperor, he can then deal with the Underworld Lord.

The position of the supreme god can only belong to him alone!

"Buzz!"

The Heavenly Emperor remained motionless, while the Chaos Cauldron floated in the air, imprinted with mountains and rivers. The imprints that originally belonged to the Heavenly Ranking were now manifesting on it one by one. With the blessing of the power of all living beings, the Chaos Cauldron was now like a new 'Heavenly Ranking', which was why he could easily help Lin Dong stabilize his state.

As the Chaos Cauldron trembled slightly, a vast divine power spread out, transforming into a mysterious light screen that blocked all the black hole light spheres that were sweeping towards it.

"You did not bear the authority of the Great Thousand Worlds with your own body... You actually used an object to bear this power!" The Heavenly Evil God looked at the Chaos Cauldron, a look of astonishment and disbelief flashing in his eyes, as if he could not understand Yao Yan's behavior.

"It's not yet certain whether the will of the Great Thousand Worlds has completely died... I don't have your composure." Yao Yan said calmly.

The Heavenly Evil God's eyes narrowed, then he revealed a cold smile and said, "The Heavenly Emperor is indeed cautious, but now that we have stolen the power of the Great Thousand Worlds, what can the consciousness of the Great Thousand Worlds still do!" He paused.

He looked at the Heavenly Emperor as if he were looking at a fool: "You could have easily ascended from an acquired being to a primordial deity, but you gave up... Did you really think that you could contend with two true gods by relying on the divine power of an artifact?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Yao Yan said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed a finger, and the Chaos Cauldron trembled slightly, its divine power surging wildly. In an instant, it transformed into a colossal cauldron that blotted out the sky and the sun, and it was inverted and poured down on the Heavenly Evil God and the Underworld Lord. Chaos Emperor Flame surged from within it, instantly turning this void into a sea of ​​fire. Its terrifying power was enough to melt all things in heaven and earth.

The Underworld Lord raised his hand and summoned the Underworld Tower to meet the attack. The two powerful artifacts clashed, and a destructive storm swept across the entire void. In the end, the Underworld Tower let out a mournful cry and fell from mid-air.

"The Heavenly Emperor has refined this artifact into a new Heavenly Ranking. Your Nether Tower cannot possibly withstand it." The Heavenly Evil God was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. He said this indifferently, and then opened all nine eyes of his body. Destructive black light burst out from them and turned into a beam of destructive light that shot into the sky.

boom!
A sound like the clang of metal resounded through the void, causing the Chaos Cauldron to tremble violently. After a moment, it finally fell, sealing the Heavenly Evil God and the Underworld Lord within it. The Chaos Emperor Flame surged, burning everything to ashes.

"You didn't stop it either," the Underworld Lord said, looking at the Heavenly Evil God.

"Why should I stop it? The Heavenly Emperor has delivered this artifact to my doorstep. I'm overjoyed!" The Heavenly Evil God laughed loudly, and then black light surged around him, with black oceans surging in his nine eyes.

"I'll show you what a true innate deity is!"

"Divine Art, Black Sea!"

The moment the words fell, a pitch-black ocean appeared within the Chaos Cauldron, surging with incomparably evil divine power and filled with a violent and bloodthirsty aura, as if it could corrupt everything in the world. The Heavenly Evil God was a deity who stood atop the black sea.

"brush!"

The Underworld Lord raised his hand and conjured a River of the Underworld, completely isolating the approaching Black Sea. He looked coldly at the Heavenly Evil God: "What are you going to do?"

"Naturally, I will refine you and this artifact together... How could you, gods who have advanced from acquired deities, understand how terrifying a true innate god is? This black sea, condensed from my origin, is enough to corrode everything in the world, including the divine power you control!" The Heavenly Evil God laughed wildly. He originally thought that dealing with the Heavenly Emperor would take some effort, but he never expected the Heavenly Emperor to be so foolish as to give up this hard-won opportunity by using an artifact to bear the power of heaven and earth.

That was a chance to ascend to godhood, yet the Heavenly Emperor chose to give it up—how ​​foolish!

"I wanted to play with you a little longer, but it seems unnecessary now." The Underworld Lord sighed softly, his usually indifferent expression gaining a touch of humanity. He then shrank back, transforming into a wisp of black light that merged into the vertical pupil between his brows, becoming an 'artifact' that also controlled a portion of the power of the Great Thousand Worlds.

"?!"

When Tianxie Shen saw this scene, he was stunned, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. Under his gaze, the vertical pupil turned into a golden stream of light and entered the forehead of a figure, turning into a wisp of light golden pattern, which made the handsome face more divine.

"..."

The scene before him left the Heavenly Evil God completely silent. He stared intently at the Heavenly Emperor, seemingly unable to believe what was happening. Who would have thought that the Underworld Lord was actually an avatar of the Heavenly Emperor?

The Evil Emperor is also an incarnation of the Underworld Lord... No, to be precise, both of them are incarnations of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Well done..." After a long while, the Heavenly Evil God finally spoke slowly, as if he had digested the news. He never thought that he would one day become a clown being played by others.

"We were forced into it." Yao Yan smiled faintly, then his mind stirred, and the Chaos Cauldron trembled slightly. The Chaos Emperor Flame within it began to surge, suppressing the black sea condensed by the Heavenly Evil God with an overwhelming advantage.

With the help of all living beings, the Chaos Cauldron extracted 40% of the power of the Sky Ranking, and with the 30% power devoured by the Vertical Pupil, it now controls nearly 70% of the power of the Great Thousand World, giving it an overwhelming advantage over the Heavenly Evil God.

Forced?

The Heavenly Evil God couldn't understand how the Heavenly Emperor, who was clearly the strongest being in the Great Thousand Worlds, could answer him with the words "forced." Who else in the Great Thousand Worlds could force the Heavenly Emperor to scheme against him like this? Not only him, but the entire Great Thousand Worlds had become the object of the other party's manipulation, and everyone had become the other party's pawn.

"Heavenly Emperor, I never expected you to be such a cunning person. I really underestimated you, far underestimated you... If I had taken over the Great Thousand World at all costs back then, perhaps none of these good things would have happened today."

The Heavenly Evil God sighed softly. He never expected that during his 50,000-year slumber, such a figure would be born in the Great Thousand Worlds, even though he was merely a being born after birth!

“If you could have taken it down, you wouldn’t have waited until now. As for what happened afterward, let’s not talk about it; it would only make you a laughingstock.” Yao Yan said slowly. He didn’t believe that the Heavenly Evil God had a way to swallow the entire Great Thousand World 50,000 years ago. Even if he did have a way, the price would have been absolutely unbearable for the Heavenly Evil God. Otherwise, why would he have willingly been sealed away for 50,000 years?

"The winner is king, the loser is a bandit... But I haven't lost yet!" The Heavenly Evil God's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp. He stared at the Heavenly Emperor standing on the Chaos Emperor Flame and said in a deep voice. The next moment, he suddenly exploded his body and used his last forbidden technique.

The demonic body merged into the black sea, and the nine evil eyes combined into one, transforming into a terrifying vertical pupil filled with black and white light. This vertical pupil also merged into the black sea, instantly adding a will to this black sea. Countless black and white vertical pupils appeared, as if they were real living things, which was extremely eerie.

"Since we've come this far, why struggle?" Yao Yan smiled faintly, activated his vertical pupils, and combined the power of the Chaos Cauldron to press down on the Black Sea with absolute force, forcibly refining this Black Sea formed from the origin of the Heavenly Evil God.

The Heavenly Evil God did not answer Yao Yan's question. He manipulated the Black Sea to rise continuously, attempting to break through the Chaos Cauldron's seal. This power was extremely tenacious, especially containing his undying will, and struggled continuously within the Chaos Emperor Flame.

"What, trying to ambush my true form?" Yao Yan saw through Tian Xie Shen's plan and immediately revealed a playful smile. Then, he stopped concealing his aura, and an incomparably terrifying aura spread out. At the same time, a chaotic sea of ​​realms materialized from within the Chaos Cauldron and pressed down on the Black Sea.

Seeing all this, the countless black and white vertical pupils rising from the black sea all revealed shock: "This... how could you have come to this point!"

Yao Yan's current aura is not that of a god who stole the power of the Heavenly Ranking and entered the divine realm, but rather a divine realm he reached himself. In other words, Yao Yan is now equivalent to a primordial chaotic god! (End of this chapter)
