Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 404: Fight to the death?

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qing once again vanished into the river of time and space, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the universe of the King Realm.

Although he only slightly demonstrated his speed, not even fully utilizing half of his illusory walking ability, it still surprised all the ultimate beings on both sides.

As ultimate beings, their speed of escape was far inferior to Lin Qing's.

"It came pretty quickly."

The Primordial God Emperor stared expressionlessly at the Universe of Kings, "This is the World God inheritance he chose? It does have some use in this war."

The King of Wanhai nodded slightly and said, "He does have some skill."

But they were both very calm.

Even though this speed is faster than many ultimate beings, the Realm of Kings is currently in the period of the War of the Gods, and the spacetime of the entire universe is shaking. The river of spacetime has become extremely turbulent, and the difficulty of traversing spacetime will also increase significantly.

Under normal circumstances, the ultimate being can traverse the entire Realm of Kings in just a short time.

However, during the War of the Gods, it would be a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult.

"Even if Lin Qing is faster than ordinary ultimate beings, he is still far inferior to Yu Gong's descent in an instant."

The Primordial God Emperor remained calm. "Besides... no matter how fast Lin Qing is, he can't stop Yu Gong with his strength."

Once he realized he was at a disadvantage in intelligence, he was already prepared to lose the war.

Even if they lose, the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom will only achieve a Pyrrhic victory!
The war between the divine kingdoms is about the origin of the universe. Once victorious, the spacetime fortress will be breached, and the army will completely invade the enemy's territory. With rampant slaughter, a large amount of the origin of the universe can be seized.

But with a powerful figure like Lord Yu around, even if the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom wins and sends a large army to invade the Yuan Chu and Wan Hai territories, no one can stop Lord Yu. Lord Yu can still kill indiscriminately!

"Master, Junior Brother seems to have changed."

Suddenly, the Eastern Flame Emperor beside King Guang transmitted his voice, saying, "He seems quite confident. Logically speaking, Junior Brother's strength should be inferior to that of Lord Yu, right?"

The top experts among the dukes, such as Yu Gong and Luo Shenjun, can all be considered invincible figures below the ultimate existence.

The key lies in the mystical arts of the realm.

If a duke does not have a time-space fortress or other geographical advantages, it is difficult for him to contend with them.

"Let's see, perhaps he has made some extraordinary progress."

King Guang said softly, "Although I cannot see Yu Gong's future path, I can roughly predict his trajectory by deduce it from the perspective of the entire King Realm. As long as one of Lin Qing, Qi Xuan, or Yuan'er is always ready to guard the spacetime fortress that Yu Gong is trying to attack, we can proceed."

He said slowly, "In this war, my Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom does not seek a great victory; a draw is sufficient."

The Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom already had the advantage, possessing the most cosmic origins among the Kings, so it could naturally accept a draw.

In any case, the Kings Realm has not yet reached its limit, and it will take a long time to accumulate enough to become a demigod-level civilization.

“There’s no need to rush. Once Junior Brother achieves the ultimate goal, and even returns to his hometown to establish a divine kingdom, then Master will have a powerful helper.” Emperor Dongyan revealed a smile.

Although he and his junior brother Wangjun were both ultimate beings who cultivated the dual spacetime rules, they were still somewhat different from the rulers of the divine kingdoms. Moreover, before achieving a demigod-level civilization in the King Realm, they had no hope of becoming the rulers of the divine kingdoms.

This junior brother is different. As a future cultivator of the rules, he can predict when he will reach the ultimate level, and then reincarnate back to his hometown to reach the ultimate level again.

In this way, by cultivating an ultimate being of the past rules, the hometown can be transformed into a miniature universe!

At that time, he will be the new ruler of a high-level divine kingdom!
Their strength will far surpass that of ordinary god-kings like the Primordial God Emperor and the Lord of the Myriad Seas Kingdom, and they will naturally be of great help to their master.

"It's still early."

King Guang couldn't help but smile. "Let's focus on the war at hand first."

He gazed upon the Realm of Kings, his mind observing its future trajectory through the Divine Kingdom, constantly issuing commands to direct the numerous eternal beings of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom to take action in the most precise and efficient manner.

"Qi Xuan, you stay in the Yuanji Empire. Judging from Yu Gong's position and actions, there is a 60% chance that he will attack Yuanji."

“Ape, you are skilled in teleportation. Head to the Jiangyan Empire. The Burning Heart Duke and the Heavenly Prosperity Duke of the Primordial Divine Kingdom are preparing to attack the Jiangyan Empire’s spacetime fortress at the same time.”

"Yu Tan, go to the Time Fortress of the Frozen Empire and hold off Lord Yue Lian of the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom."

"Jiuju, the pressure from the Changyuan Empire isn't high enough; this is a weakness. You must immediately lead your army to attack Changyuan's spacetime fortress..."

As orders were issued, the entire military force of the Tianguang Territory, from top to bottom, immediately began to operate in an orderly manner.

Not only can it constantly target the enemy's impending weaknesses, but it can also proactively change its own main defensive positions.

This is an absolute intelligence advantage.

Even if the enemy has more dukes, the defenders can mobilize a large number of eternal beings to unite and resist with the help of the time fortress!
Even if it were Duke Yu who attacked, we could stop him with just one more duke.

After all, the movements of any living being in the Realm of Kings are under the perception of the three rulers of the divine kingdoms, whether it is Duke Yu or the other dukes.

Even if Yu Gong is fast, he can only attack one spacetime fortress. As long as a duke acts in advance, he can resist it.

suddenly--

"Ok?"

King Guang's expression changed slightly, "Lord Yu?"

During his observation, he suddenly discovered that Yu Gong, who was about to reach the spacetime fortress of the Primordial Empire, had actually appeared outside the spacetime fortress of the Frozen Empire!
"Descended in an instant?"

King Guang frowned, his gaze turning icy as he looked at the Primordial God Emperor and the Lord of the Myriad Seas in the distance. "So that's how they operate. No wonder they dared to instigate a war between the divine kingdoms despite knowing they were at an intelligence disadvantage..."

In that instant, he had already deduced the terrifying ability of the Feathered Duke and what kind of chain reaction and consequences it would lead to!

"Master, who told you to ruin Lord Yu's plans back then?"

The Primordial God Emperor said indifferently, "To deal with you, Lord Yu has already spared no expense, even bringing out his most important trump card. You can't blame anyone else."

The Lord of Wanhai Kingdom also sighed softly, "Master, Yuan Chu and I lost the first two Divine Kingdom Wars. This third Divine Kingdom War is your turn. Please forgive me."

King Guang sneered, too lazy to say anything more.

Meanwhile, the ultimate beings were all observing the situation inside the Realm of Kings. When they discovered that Yu Gong had traversed countless light-years in just an instant, they couldn't help but be taken aback.

This is during the War of the Gods; even the ultimate beings could not cross such a vast distance in an instant!

Compared to the surprise and somewhat grim expression of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, the Primordial Divine Kingdom and the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom were clearly only filled with joy.

Even the ultimate beings could see that the Frozen Empire was currently its weakest point of attack!

Once Lord Yu breaches the Icebound Empire's Time Fortress and leads his army into the Icebound Empire's territory, the Icebound Empire will be beyond saving. Without the advantage of the Time Fortress, how can it resist Lord Yu?

At that time, the entire Frozen Empire will inevitably fall. After the creatures of this territory are slaughtered, a lot of the universe's essence will also be taken away!

Among the ultimate beings of the Heavenly Light faction, both the Ice Emperor and the Absolute String Emperor had extremely grim expressions.

For other ultimate beings, the fall of the Frozen Empire was merely the loss of the origin of the universe, but for them, it meant the loss of their territory and countless people!
"Master," the Eastern Flame Emperor couldn't help but transmit his voice, "This Lord Yu..."

"I know," King Guang said in a low voice. "This is troublesome, but such a miraculous event that can happen in an instant cannot come without a price. I wonder how many times this Feathered Lord can use it?"

He knew it in his heart.

Traveling takes time, and at most, our side can only send three dukes and their clones to guard a few of the empire's spacetime fortresses. If Duke Yu can keep using his abilities, then apart from these few spacetime fortresses, the other empires will probably fall!
Even if the Heavenly Light faction manages to win in the end, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

If Lord Yu can use this technique many times in a row, it could eventually lead to the fall of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, which would be a complete defeat!
The Primordial God Emperor and the Lord of the Myriad Seas were clearly in much better spirits, observing the situation within the Kingdom of Kings with great anticipation, as if they could already see the Icebound Empire fall.

In any case, this situation makes it impossible for the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom to achieve a great victory.

"Master, why isn't Junior Brother making any moves?" Emperor Dongyan couldn't help but ask telepathically.

"He just returned to the Divine Kingdom's Treasure Palace and retrieved a batch of treasures." King Guang frowned and said, "He and his clone could barely be considered two dukes, but..."

He immediately made a judgment and issued an order to those stationed in the Frozen Empire: "Except for those at the peak of the Eternal Realm, everyone else shall immediately retreat and abandon the Frozen Empire's spacetime fortress. The elites shall be transferred in batches as quickly as possible."

This is the only way to minimize the losses.

……

Inside the Heavenly Kingdom's Treasure Hall.

"almost."

After selecting several Chaos Treasures from the Treasure Hall, Lin Qing left them all to the Black Flame Avatar.

Before he arrived, he had already helped the Black Flame clone refine a set of natal eternal treasures and nurtured them to their peak.

This amount of consumption is nothing to him now. Although the Black Flame Clone has not yet cultivated any powerful secret techniques, it already possesses divine skills, a natal eternal treasure, and the Illusionary World Annihilation Technique, making it a force comparable to that of an average duke.

With his current strength, it makes little difference whether he merges with the Black Flame clone or not.

Both being at the dual-spacetime rule level, his main body possesses various world treasures and the bloodline of the second generation of the Void God Clan, making his inner world far more powerful than the Black Flame clone's. Moreover, he has cultivated various secret techniques and the inheritance of the World God.

Even if the Black Flame clone burned its life force to merge with him, it would only slightly increase his strength.

It would be better to send them out to support the battle.

"Lord Yu possesses such abilities? It is said that the World God has bestowed upon Lord Yu a top-tier Chaos Treasure, and it seems it is indeed true..."

After Lin Qing made preparations, he did not rush to take action, but instead observed the situation of the Frozen Empire from afar.

The Black Flame Avatar has already traveled to one of the empires under the Heavenly Light God Kingdom to guard the Time-Space Fortress.

"Just one Feathered Lord? Bring more and we'll talk." Lin Qing waited patiently.

……

Frozen Empire, Time Fortress World.

"boom!!"

A beam of light containing terrifying power instantly pierced through layers of space and time, directly tearing apart the world barrier of the space-time fortress and numerous seals!
Only the main battle avatars of a dozen or so peak-level Eternal warriors from the Frozen Empire were still trying their best to control this spacetime fortress, attempting to buy time and allow more elites to retreat.

however--

"boom!!"

Another terrifying beam of light shot out from the opposite side of the Fortress World, piercing through the remaining seals and instantly turning a peak Eternal Realm expert from the Frozen Empire into nothingness before the beam of light dissipated.

Immediately, the Feathered Lord with pure white wings gracefully stepped out from among them, glanced indifferently at the eternal beings of the Frozen Empire who were scattering and fleeing, and then frowned slightly, "They retreated quite quickly, leaving only your main combat avatars?"

He is not skilled in soul and causal methods, so he cannot completely kill a peak Eternal Realm expert; at most, he can only destroy the main battle avatar.

Simply destroying the clones is not enough to seize the origin of the universe.

"escape!"

One by one, the eternal peak powerhouses of the Frozen Empire abandoned the breached spacetime fortress and fled in all directions.

"Where can we escape to?"

Yu Gong shook his head slightly, and at the same time, more than ten destructive rays of light burst forth from between his brows. Rays containing terrifying power pierced through space and time, instantly turning these more than ten peak Eternal Realm experts into nothingness.

Without the advantages of the spacetime fortress and the collective alliance, even the strongest eternal beings would be instantly annihilated in his presence.

Yu Gong sensed the groups of people evacuating from the Frozen Empire and understood that they were preparing to retreat to an empire adjacent to the Frozen Empire.

But he was too lazy to pursue them.

Even at his own speed, he couldn't possibly kill so many people across the vast territory of the Frozen Empire, unless he wasted the Chaos Divine Essence and used the Chaos Treasure that the World God had bestowed upon him.

But his goal is to conquer the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, how could he waste it on such a trivial matter?

Even if all the empires under the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom were occupied, and a large number of void beings and chaotic beings were slaughtered, the cosmic origins seized would only be equivalent to two or three tenths of what was gained after conquering the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom.

Therefore, Lord Yu prepared to wait here for Lord Weiyuan of the Primordial Divine Kingdom to arrive with a large army.

When the time comes, we will first send a large army to annihilate all the void beings, chaotic beings, and numerous holy stars of the Frozen Empire, and seize this cosmic origin.

Then, using the Frozen Empire as a springboard, a large force can be dispatched to attack other empires bordering the Frozen Empire, thus gradually expanding the advantage.

Not long after——

"Rumble--"

A colossal city crashed through the still-unrepaired world barrier of the spacetime fortress and appeared in this world with a deafening roar.

It was evident that the city was filled with an army of hundreds of millions of high-level chaotic beings, tens of thousands of eternal beings, and dozens of peak eternal powerhouses!
Standing with her hands behind her back at the highest point of the city wall was a tall woman dressed in a magnificent dark gold robe.

It was none other than Duke Weiyuan, one of the three great dukes of the Yuanchu Divine Kingdom.

In terms of strength and reputation, although this Lord Weiyuan is not as good as Lord Yu, his ferocity and reputation for cruelty are even greater than Lord Yu's!

Some dukes were kind-hearted and did not want to commit massacres during the war.

This Wei Yuan Gong was the most ruthless type of person. In the first two wars of the divine kingdom, he not only slaughtered all living beings in the conquered empires, but also tortured many living beings to strengthen his own cultivation techniques!

"Master Yu, you have excellent skills."

Wei Yuangong surveyed the ravaged world, a smile appearing on his face. "To conquer an empire so easily, you truly live up to your reputation as Lord Yu."

Yu Gong smiled faintly and said, "Leave the rest to Wei Yuan Gong. This Frozen Empire seems to have some connection with Lin Qing. Wei Yuan Gong, don't let anyone go and try to seize as much of the universe's origin as possible."

"It's a minor matter," said Wei Yuangong. "With Yu Gong here, it's only a matter of time before the various empires under the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom fall."

She immediately urged the massive city to fly out of this spacetime fortress world, and looking out over this starry territory, she indifferently ordered: "Slaughter all beings below the level of higher chaotic beings, and capture as many others alive as possible for me to cultivate my secret techniques."

Yu Gong didn't care. He just looked at the Star Refining Sacred Star, which was connected to the Time-Space Fortress, and suddenly said, "Lin Qing once cultivated on this Star Refining Sacred Star for a period of time. He seems to have a close relationship with Star Refining Marquis. Let's destroy this sacred star."

As he spoke, a dazzling light shone from between his brows and shot towards the Holy Star below.

With the Duke's strength, destroying a holy star would be an easy task!
at this time--

Silently, a figure suddenly appeared in front of this massive city, and with a wave of his hand, the ray of light vanished without a trace.

"Lin Qing?"

Yu Gong's expression changed slightly as he looked at Lin Qing, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You actually learned the Illusionary Movement Technique?"

He also tried to walk in the form of illusion, but this inheritance of the World God was not compatible with him. No matter how he tried, he could not learn it and had to give up.

However, he was well aware of the terrifying nature of the illusory form, which could transform into a new world with each step. Its profound and subtle aspects were comparable to the Chaos Treasure that the World God had bestowed upon him!

A duke who possesses the ability to walk in a phantom form would play an absolutely astonishing role in the war of the divine kingdom.

This might reverse the outcome of this war between the divine kingdoms!

but……

Yu Gong calmed down after thinking about the chaotic treasure bestowed upon him by the God of the Realm.

"What's wrong with walking in the realm of illusion?"

Yu Gong looked at Lin Qing and said coldly, "You are a newly promoted Duke. Even if you have a false identity, you cannot escape my pursuit. However... I only have a grudge against Prince Guang. If you retreat voluntarily, that will be fine. Otherwise, I will fight you to the death!"

He truly didn't want to waste his limited Chaos Divine Essence; it would be too much of a loss to merely kill one of Lin Qing's main combat avatars.

"Until death?"

Lin Qing suddenly smiled.

next moment--

"boom!"

As the illusory mist swirled around Lin Qing, a vast and boundless illusory world suddenly descended into reality, directly enveloping all living beings within a range of hundreds of light-years.

"The Great Extinction of the Illusory World?" A mocking glint flashed in Yu Gong's eyes.

He also has the inheritance of the God of the Realm protecting his soul, so how could he be worried about the great extinction of the Illusionary World?
Furthermore, Lord Weiyuan was united with the spirits of all living beings within the city, and was not afraid of the mass attack of the Illusory World Annihilation!
"Destroy."

Lin Qing's eyes were icy cold.

In an instant, the amplification of the Mind Walker's avatar's will surged to its limit, and this terrifying illusory world was crushed by a thunderous roar!

The collective will of that city was indeed immense, but it was not an individual will. Under the crushing force of this illusory world, it instantly collapsed and disintegrated. Then, like a flame extinguished by a gale, countless consciousnesses were completely crushed by this world!

Whether it's billions of advanced chaotic beings, tens of thousands of eternal beings, or dozens of peak eternal powerhouses...

At this moment, all consciousness was erased!
In just a moment, only three living people remained in this desolate starry sky.

"Weren't you going to fight me to the death?"

Lin Qing looked at Yu Gong and said, "I want to see what kind of irreconcilable conflict this is."
