Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 417 All Extinguished
"boom!"

The moment the sixth fifth-order cosmic battlefield took shape, the brilliant light that was flowing on this natural origin battlefield suddenly froze. Time and space seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand and kneaded into an incomparably stable battlefield world!

The Star Abyss Shadow, which had long shrouded the battlefield of the natural origin, writhed like a living thing at this moment. Countless cracks appeared in the deep darkness, emitting terrifying fluctuations that did not belong to this universe. Even the primordial light was devoured, and the operation of the universe's rules seemed to stagnate.

"boom!!!"

As the Star Abyss Rift suddenly expanded, countless Star Abyss Demons, Mother River Clan, Origin Clan, and Star Beast Clan surged into this natural battlefield like a flood bursting its banks, shattering and collapsing space and time.

Almost every instant, billions of Star Abyss beings poured into the battlefield. Even the eternal beings were like locusts, not to mention the higher chaotic beings, who were simply countless!
With such a terrifying number, even the most rudimentary battle formation would possess unimaginable power!
"Humph."

At the same time, the cold snort of the Origin God Lord of the Void God Clan resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

At this moment, a terrifying domain, resembling a miniature universe, descended, even showing signs of forming its own universe. It directly engulfed the entire Void God Clan camp, instantly teleporting them into the interior of this cosmic battlefield.

A vast battlefield world, thousands of light-years in diameter, is a land formed entirely from the essence of nature, where countless creatures thrive in a savage manner.

Whether it's flowers, plants, or wild animals, they are all formed from the vast natural origins of the universe, each possessing an aura comparable to the eternal.

In such an environment, even ordinary eternal powerhouses would find it difficult to survive.

"boom!"

A destructive torrent sweeping across billions of miles descended upon this world along with the shadow of the Star Abyss. In the blink of an eye, countless plants and beasts were devoured and destroyed!

At the very front of this torrent, a towering figure in deep blue could be seen striding across the land, its form rapidly expanding with each step.

In just a few steps, traversing tens of light-years, it transformed into a majestic demon god with a height of trillions of miles!
It was none other than the Lord of Devouring Universes!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The terrifying physical body, standing over ten light-years tall, caused a deafening roar with each step it took, shaking the entire natural battlefield as if this world itself could not bear such a terrifying existence.

With a slight flap of its massive fleshy wings, the surrounding cosmic rules dissipated, and a new set of cosmic rules began to operate around it!

The Primal Universe Domain that the Primal God-King had been covering the entire battlefield was weakened by more than half when it approached the terrifying physical body of the Devouring Universe Monarch, and its suppressive effect was greatly reduced.

"What a terrifying body..."

Most of the powerful figures on both the human and machine sides were witnessing the terrifying power of the Devouring Universe Monarch for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel terrified.

Most of them are not even as strong as the ultimate beings, but the physical level of the Devouring Universe Monarch is a true body-refining God Kingdom Lord. Even if his actual strength is not as good as the God Kingdom Lord, it is still many times greater than theirs!

The difference is so great that even from a distance, it is enough to instill a deep-seated fear in people, a fear that stems from their very survival instincts.

"This is terrifying... This physical body makes even the rules of the universe retreat?"

"Even if all the Super-Dimensional Sages of my Machine Race unite, our chances of winning against the Devouring Universe Monarch are still infinitely close to 0..."

"Even without the Cosmic Monument, it could crush a whole group of God-King level beings with a single step..."

"The gap is too big..."

One by one, the powerful humans and mechanical beings stared in awe at the towering Devouring Universe Monarch. Even though they had received advance intelligence, they only realized the astonishing difference in power when they actually faced it.

Moreover, it's not just the Devouring Universe Monarch; Star Abyss is also sending an endless torrent of powerful beings into this battlefield.

The powerful figures from Xingyuan had not yet all arrived, yet the Devouring Universe Monarch dared to charge into the fray alone, demonstrating his ferocity!
Lin Qing quietly watched the Devouring Universe Monarch and the massive Star Abyss Torrent, with scenes of future time and space appearing deep in her eyes.

"The Illusory Moon Descends."

A dazzling light shone from the silver eye between the eyebrows of the Illusionary Moon God, instantly transforming into a phantom moon in the sky above the battlefield, its cool silver light immediately scattering across the entire battlefield.

Furthermore, a vast and illusory world descended, enveloping the entire battlefield and suppressing the many powerful figures on Xingyuan's side!
The vast army of Xingyuan had already formed a battle formation, and individual illusions were naturally useless against such a collective will.

However, the dual pressure on the soul and will still slowed down the torrent of the Star Abyss army.

Under the combined suppression of the original world god and the illusion moon god, even if the Xingyuan side formed a battle formation, they could only exert less than 50% of their strength, and their threat level was significantly reduced.

but--

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Devouring Universe Monarch's terrifying physical body still maintained nearly 80% of its original power, and its terrifying steps repeatedly made the battlefield world tremble!
"Devouring the Universe!"

The God-King, who resembled a snake-man, suddenly let out a low shout. With the power of the Void God Clan's battle formation, his right arm, after being unsealed, instantly transformed into a gigantic hand that spanned billions of miles, slamming down on the Devouring Universe Monarch.

However, only the right arm of the Absolute God Monarch was close to the level of the God Kingdom Lord. This palm strike seemed extremely powerful, but compared to the Devouring Universe Monarch, it appeared somewhat weak.

"boom!!"

Upon their collision, the Devouring Universe Monarch merely paused, while the Absolute God Monarch retreated several light-years before managing to neutralize the attack with the power of the battle formation.

High judgment.

One side had only one person, while the other side carried the might of a battle formation and was completely at a disadvantage!

"Such a big difference?"

At this moment, both the human and machine races understood the vast difference in strength between them.

The Primordial God-King took a deep breath and said coldly, "Immediately set up the Cosmic Chains! Temporarily bind the Devouring Universe Monument and do everything possible to prevent the Star Abyss from stabilizing the Cosmic Monument!"

at the same time--

In the distance, the Star Abyss army, which was pouring into the battlefield, had already erected a towering pillar that was hundreds of light-years high!

The majestic cosmic monument stood tall on this battlefield of origin, reaching to the heavens and earth. It immediately began to frantically absorb the origin of the universe, and the spacetime around it began to become more and more stable, even faintly resembling the original world god lord unleashing his cosmic domain!

If a single cosmic monument, which is not yet stable, is already so miraculous, one can only imagine the suppression it would exert once all 380 cosmic monuments are formed!

"This cosmic monument can only be sent into the cosmic battlefield with the help of the Star Abyss's will. Let's make our move immediately before the Star Abyss's side has fully entered the arena!"

With the voice of the Primordial God, one after another enormous, colorful chains stretched for billions of miles, completely condensed from the primordial energy of the universe, immediately sealing and binding the physical body of the Devouring Universe Monarch.

"roll!"

The Devouring Universe Monarch roared and suddenly exerted its power, breaking dozens of cosmic chains, but more cosmic chains continued to descend.

The Supreme God, carrying the might of the battle formation, once again activated his right arm, barely managing to stop the Devouring Universe Monarch's advance.

"Seal it off!"

At the same time, both the Illusion Moon God and the Primordial Realm God used sealing and binding techniques to join forces against the Devouring Universe Monarch, attempting to temporarily seal him away!
In a short time, the Void God Clan had used almost all of their powerful forces and methods.

This was barely enough to trap the Lord of Devouring Universe.

"Now!"

The Primordial God-King coldly shouted, "You all go and stop the Cosmic Monument!"

The powerful warriors of the human and mechanical races immediately charged towards Xingyuan's side with the overwhelming force of their massive battle formations.

According to the plan, the Void Gods, having exhausted all their means, could trap the Devouring Universe Monument for a short time, preventing it from guarding the Cosmic Monument.

If we can seize this opportunity to break through the protection of Xingyuan's army and send a cosmic monument out of the battlefield, preventing Xingyuan from gathering all 380 cosmic monuments, then we will still have a chance in this battle.

This is also the plan with the highest probability of success for the Void Gods after they have deduced the future!

……

Outside the main universe, above the cosmic tree.

At the highest point of the Void God Clan's territory stands a majestic temple, its ancient and weathered aura seemingly predating even the existence of the main universe below.

Inside the temple.

The avatars of all the true gods of the Void God Clan had already gathered here, looking up at the cosmic battlefield situation displayed on the water screen inside the hall.

On the palace platform sat three figures exuding an aura of boundless majesty. They were none other than the three World Gods of the past, present, and future.

"We've certainly gone all out with this plan, but things don't look good..."

"Humans and machines alone probably cannot stop the Cosmic Monument."

"Xingyuan has probably been planning this for countless years. Not only the Cosmic Monument, but also the Devouring Universe Monument. Where did they cultivate the physical body of the God-King?"

"Even in the endless chaos, such an opportunity would only arise once every few weeks; it must have been prepared long ago."

"The chances are slim..."

The Void Gods present were all at the level of God-Kings, and could see the true situation on the battlefield at a glance. There were also True Gods who cultivated the rules of the future and observed the future, so how could they not see the situation?
Even with all their efforts and methods, the Void Gods could barely trap the Devouring Universe Monarch.

However, it was already difficult for the humans and machines to overcome the immense power of the other monarchs of the Star Abyss, as well as the Mother River Clan, the Source Clan, and the Star Beast Clan, let alone stop the Cosmic Monument.

However, there seems to be a sliver of hope, and the Void Gods can only do their best.

"Father God."

One of the true gods from the Future God faction couldn't help but ask, "The future you see is the closest to reality. This war... can my race win?"

"Just watch," the Future God said softly. "The Ancestor of the Other Shore can also see the future and conceal it. Neither side has any intelligence advantage; we can only rely on our strength and performance."

The current world god beside him spoke coldly: "Future ancestor, there is no need for such comforting words. Losing is losing. Our race has been developing our independent universe for countless years since its inception. Even if we have to relinquish some of our authority, our race still holds the advantage. It is not that we cannot accept defeat."

He had already analyzed the battle situation long before the war began.

Even if he doesn't understand the rules of the future, he can rely on a treasure of his clan. But no matter how he calculates it, the result is that he will definitely lose.

If it weren't for the need to force out more of the Star Abyss Demon Clan's trump cards and deplete the Cosmic Monument as much as possible, the World God would even feel that there was no need to participate in this war at all.

"but……"

The God of the Past sighed, "First it was Xingyuan, and now it's the physical body of this Devouring Universe Monument. Those three traitors really went to great lengths. It's one thing to lose this time, but what if they lose again in the future..."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have sealed them off completely back then," the World God said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Void Gods below immediately understood that both the Realm Gods and the Past Realm Gods now believed that the battle had been lost.

Throughout these countless years, they have always held the upper hand in their battles against the Star Abyss Demon Clan.

And yet, they lost this crucial battle?
For a moment, the true gods of the Void God Clan fell silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was completely still.

"It's not necessarily true that we'll lose."

Suddenly, the future God spoke softly: "Let's see what happens first."

"They might not necessarily lose?" The World God frowned slightly and said, "The situation on the entire battlefield is clear at a glance. Where is there any chance of turning the tide?"

"Now that you're the Ancestor, are you sure you can see through everything?"

The God of the Future said calmly, "You also thought those three traitors had used every trick in the book in the first four rounds, but what was the result? Remember, what you see is not necessarily what you think."

"Is that so?" The current World God said indifferently, "At least I provided the cosmic chains. The Ancestor of the Past perfected the cosmic domain for the original World God. What have you, the Ancestor of the Future, done? You control the origin of the future, but have you ever seen the future clearly?"

The Ancestor of the Past gently shook his head and said, "What time is it? Let's not fight amongst ourselves."

The true gods below listened with their heads bowed, but none of them dared to speak.

Before Xingyuan appeared, these three World Gods fought fiercely, practically like enemies. It was only because Xingyuan posed such a great threat that they temporarily joined forces to fight him.

But with countless years of grudges, it's natural that they wouldn't have a good temper with each other.

"Future Ancestor, it seems you've also prepared a backup plan... Do you think you might not necessarily lose?"

Suddenly, the God of the World said, "How about we make a bet?"

"How do we gamble?" the future God of the Realm asked him.

Now the God of the Realm said, "If we win this war, even if it's not entirely your achievement, I will still consider you the greatest contributor. You can choose any three treasures from my treasury. But if we lose, I will also choose any three items from your future treasury. How about that?"

The God of the Future looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Alright."

The God of the Past shook his head slightly, without saying anything more.

If we win this match, everyone will be happy.

The God of Realms continued to observe the situation on the cosmic battlefield and said calmly, "You still harbor any illusions? Who did you leave your tricks on? Huan Yue? Tian Bi? Or that human Lin Qing that you've recently taken a liking to?"

With his discerning eye, he could see through the physical bodies, secret techniques, souls, and auras of rare treasures of everyone on the battlefield at a glance; no matter how strong someone was, they couldn't escape his observation.

"You can see the soul, but you can't see the mind and will." The future god slowly shook his head.

Now even the God of the Realm is too lazy to say more.

Mind and will?

Such ethereal power, even for someone like the Illusion Moon God who has had great adventures, has very limited advantages and has little effect on the Devouring Universe Monarch, so much so that it cannot change the course of the battle at all.

At this moment, on the battlefield screen, it was seen that Xingyuan had sent all its combat power into the interior of the cosmic battlefield. Countless Xingyuan creatures, like a raging tsunami, swept towards the human and machine races without fear of death.

"The forces of Xingyuan have fully entered the battlefield. What? Do you think the human and machine races can break through?"

As the God of the Realm observes the battlefield, he suddenly notices a figure within the human ranks who has broken away from the battle formation and, with just one step, appears alone in the very center of the battlefield.

Compared to the tsunami formed from countless beings from the Star Abyss, this figure was so small as to be almost negligible.

"Ok?"

The God of Realms frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with this Lin Qing? Relying on his illusory form, he dared to rush to the center of the battlefield alone? Could it be that he is..."

He hadn't finished speaking—

"Ok?"

At this moment, the God of the Realm was suddenly stunned.

Even the God of the Past was taken aback.

The true gods of the Void God Clan throughout the entire temple were completely stunned.

……

Within a vast cosmic battlefield.

"it's time."

Amidst the howling primordial energy of the universe, Lin Qing stood tall and straight at the highest point in the center of the battlefield, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield below.

At this moment, the endless Star Abyss Army, which had been pouring into the battlefield world like a boundless ocean, suddenly froze completely, as if frozen in time.

The previously earth-shattering sounds of battle suddenly fell into an almost deathly silence.

because……

A vast and unparalleled virtual world has already swept across the entire battlefield.

As for the countless powerful figures on Xingyuan's side, apart from a pitifully few scattered figures, the souls of the other countless beings were like torches left after a raging tsunami.

At this moment, everything went out.
