Great, we're doomed now!

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

The two figures flashed rapidly across the lunar surface, sometimes engaging in close combat, their fists and palms clashing and shaking the very air. At other times, they would create distance, the aftershocks of their movements alone capable of destroying solid rock.

Each exchange lasted only a fleeting moment. Sunlight shone on this side of the moon, but all that could be captured were afterimages, as if leaping lightning was weaving back and forth across the lunar surface.

The high-speed trajectory left bright streaks of light on the lunar surface, and the craters became the battlefields for the two sides—this strange "celestial phenomenon" can probably be observed with the naked eye from Earth.

The battle between the two intensified, and the tremors on the surface of the moon became more and more violent. The solid geological layers that had accumulated on the surface of this ancient celestial body for billions of years burst open one after another like popcorn under the impact of the punches and energy, and the fragments of rock turned into magma that splashed into space.

...If we are lucky, many years from now, the mass lost today may be re-attracted to the lunar surface.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The craters were melted and pierced time and time again, making the already pitted lunar surface even more broken. Deep trenches, thousands of meters deep, crisscrossed the moon, making the entire moon look like a tattered canvas, being kneaded and outlined by an invisible hand!

"Drink!"

Boros let out a silent roar, his energy surging as he entered a frenzied attack mode.

He increased his speed again, unleashing the full force of his fists, knees, and elbows, releasing his primal fighting instincts. The dense attacks rained down on Ye Shou like a storm.

Ye Shou's mind was also incredibly focused, reflecting all the changes around him in his mind. Even a supersonic pebble appeared almost stationary to him—even so, Boros's movements were still incredibly swift in his view.

Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist!

With arms flying and feet moving nimbly, the spine twists and turns like a leaping dragon, parrying, blocking, and counterattacking all in one smooth motion!

Each collision between the two unparalleled powerhouses unleashed a deafening roar, with golden and blazing white light intertwining, as if a torch had been lit on the moon, illuminating the dark universe.

Suddenly, two long-accumulated energies exploded simultaneously—

boom!

A blinding light covered an area of ​​tens of kilometers. Ye Shou was thrown out in the explosion, while the body of the cosmic overlord was torn into dozens of pieces, with semi-energy-based fragments of flesh and blood drifting in the vacuum.

But in just a moment, the scattered fragments returned!

With a flash of light, Boros returned to his original form, his eyes filled with even greater excitement. Suddenly, a crack appeared in his chest, and a powerful light wave that stretched across the sky quickly condensed and shot out towards Ye Shou without warning!

Ye Shou was hit head-on by the light wave, and his vision went blank for a brief moment. When he recovered, Boros was already above him.

"drink!"

The overlord clenched his fists, gathering all the energy in his body at the tip of his fists, and slammed them down with a devastating force!

Bang-!

The power of this punch far exceeded all previous attacks. The moment the fist struck Ye Shou's chest, the golden ripples shattered instantly, and his body was smashed onto the lunar surface like a kite with a broken string. The speed was so fast that it crashed through the earth's crust, which was thousands of meters thick!

The violent impact echoed through the moon's interior, and the lunar surface instantly shattered into a massive crater several kilometers in diameter, centered on the point of impact!

At the same time, it kicked up a cloud of dust, and the entire moon trembled violently from the impact.

Above the sinkhole, Boros hovered in the air, his body undulating violently, a satisfied gleam in his single eye—this was the battle he had been craving!

A contest of strength against strength, a battle of instinct against skill, using every means possible and exhausting all willpower, all for the sake of surviving a one-on-one life-or-death duel!

Is there anything more exhilarating than this?

That's it! In the entire universe, only this one person can truly satisfy me!

“Even for me, this state is extremely taxing.” Boros raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, the blue veins pulsating more intensely. “The cells burn energy to gain speed and power beyond their limits, and even reduce their own vitality. This is a trump card that is not used lightly.”

He paused, his voice filled with exhilaration—

"But fighting you is so addictive from the very beginning that I don't care about the consequences!"

He turned to look at the bottom of the sinkhole.

"Come out now, Ye Shou!" Boros clenched his fists, and blazing white energy surged once more. "Come and please me—"

boom!

A golden ripple broke through the rock layer, and the red figure shot straight up from the depths of the pit like an arrow!

"Well done!" A glint flashed in Boros's eyes. He stretched out his arms and joined his palms together, about to meet the attack. Ye Shou had already adjusted his posture, gathering all his energy at his toes. His counterattack Ultra Kick transformed into a dazzling red streak of light, slamming into Boros's chest!

With unparalleled strength, Boros's arms were crushed without a doubt!

--call!

Boros's energy layer on his chest shattered instantly. He couldn't withstand the impact at all, while Ye Shou continued to increase the pressure. His body was kicked out of the moon's gravitational field as if it had been hit by a train engine. It flew along the edge in an arc towards the dark depths of the universe.

The flying kick's force remained undiminished, firmly pinning Boros in front. The two sped through the cold universe, leaving behind two intertwined streaks of red and white light.

Boros was kicked so hard his blood was churning and his body was starting to deform, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he burst into deafening laughter: "Good! That's great!"

His voice was filled with an unprecedented sense of joy.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you! Only when I fight you do I truly feel alive—Ye Shou!!!"

You should also savor the feeling of going all out and facing life-or-death situations!

The two figures clashed for a moment in the dark universe, transforming into streaks of light. Boros suddenly exerted his strength, throwing out both fists and forcibly forcing Ye Shou back. Then, with an overwhelming momentum, he blasted Ye Shou back from the universe to the lunar orbit, tearing tiny cracks in the space along the way.

"Liberate the whole country!"

Boros roared, his energy surged to its limit, grabbed Ye Shou's shoulder, and slammed him hard onto the lunar surface. The entire crater shattered like building blocks under this blow, and spiderweb-like patterns spread across the land.

Before Ye Shou could even get up, Boros's body was completely engulfed by the blazing white light, like a miniature supernova exploding!

But the light did not scatter; instead, under his mental control, it rapidly contracted, condensing all the light and heat into an indescribable torrent of energy that seemed capable of destroying all matter.

"This is my final ultimate technique, piercing you through the very core of this star—"

Crash! Star! Roar! Howl! Cannon!

Boros's voice traveled through the space, carrying a sense of determination and exhilaration. The torrent, like a giant beast that would devour its prey, carried the destructive power to shoot straight at Ye Shou, who had just managed to prop himself up.

The timer on his chest flashed rapidly, and silver and gold light intertwined and converged on his body. Without any unnecessary charging movements, Ye Shou stood on the lunar surface, his arms quickly forming a perfect L-shape, and the silver light condensed into a dazzling beam on his arms—

"Zepelion Ray!"

The two energies collided violently above the lunar surface, leveling the surrounding craters and hurling lunar dust hundreds or even thousands of meters high, forming a ring-shaped sand wall, which was then melted by the ensuing heat.

Then an enormous "golden-red flower" bloomed on the moon, almost forming an ocean that covered everything as far as the horizon could see!

The silvery-white lights devoured and canceled each other out. After a moment of stalemate, Ye Shou exerted his power a second time. The timer on his chest burst out with a sublimated and brilliant light. Zapelion suddenly surged and quickly broke through the obstruction, engulfing Boros!

A flicker of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the cosmic overlord, before he was pierced through by countless fine particle streams amidst a burst of maniacal laughter…

The silvery-white beam of light engulfed Boros's body, extinguishing his life force at the cellular level!

The blazing white light dissipated, and Boros crashed heavily to the bottom of a crater. His blazing white skin returned to its original deep blue, gradually dimming until it turned grayish-white, instantly aging beyond recognition.

He lay in the cold moon rock, gazing at the dark starry sky with one eye. His body began to disintegrate little by little, but there was no resentment, only a relieved smile: "As expected... you lost... it's your victory, Ye Shou."

"..."

"This battle... was exhilarating..." His voice grew weaker and weaker, "Finally..."

Ye Shou stood at the edge of the crater, reverting to his human form, and silently watched the final moments of the cosmic overlord.

"It's been so long since I've lay on the ground like this, gazing up at the sky... How can you be so powerful? You..."

Perhaps it was on his deathbed that Boros, a pure warrior, became "sentimental".

He grew up in incredibly harsh conditions and became the strongest of his kind. But for him, who had always been pursuing power, the "pinnacle of a planet" was not enough to satisfy his thirst for power. So when space pirates passed by, he seized their ships and became the leader who ruled over these scum.

—As the words suggest, his journey is to the stars and the sea!

Boros left his home planet and his kind without any regrets, and began his days of conquering and growing stronger in the universe... Then gradually, he became so powerful that no one could compare to him, and he could not even find an enemy in the observable universe that could excite him.

It is unclear when it began, but he was revered by the stars as the "overlord of the entire universe"!

...But this kind of life is so empty!

Why did he leave his home planet? Because there are countless challengers in the universe, but when there are no longer any equals in front of him, all the praise loses its meaning.

The battle with Ye Shou gave him a long-lost sense of satisfaction, leaving him with no regrets... If he had to say something, it would be that he was very curious:

"I have defeated countless opponents in the universe... How come you, on this life-bearing planet, have gained such great power?"

"Just...to protect our home planet?"

Boros didn't need Ye Shou to answer his question; he already had the answer in his heart.

"For the sake of hope... people can unleash... something even more powerful than 'fearlessness of death'... Heh..."

He didn't think he had done anything wrong. Even if time could be reversed, he would still leave his home planet and go to the universe!

But, but, at the very last moment, an untimely thought flashed through my mind—

"I long to see that starry sky, obscured by thunderclouds, again..."

Ah~ I think I see it...this hand...is it coming to catch me?

Boros raised his hand as if to pluck those glittering stars, but they began to turn to dust from his fingertips...

It must be said that this is a worthy opponent.

Ye Shou closed his eyes, paused silently for a few seconds, and then turned and left.

—Buzz! !!

A blinding beam of light suddenly rose from behind him, piercing straight into the dark universe!

Ye Shou turned around in astonishment and saw the scattered fragments being forcibly pulled together by the pillar of light and reassembled onto Boros's remains.

His body seemed to be flowing backwards in time; his torn flesh and blood healed rapidly, broken bones were reassembled, and even his ash-like tissues returned to normal. The original deep blue color returned to his skin, which was then covered by a layer of black exuding an ominous aura.

White lines spread across the skin like veins, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression...

In the blink of an eye, Boros was restored to his full form, his figure even more upright than before, surrounded by viscous black energy, as if the space itself had been polluted.

He slowly raised his head, his single eye snapping open, a violent vortex swirling within its golden pupil, his gaze meeting Ye Shou's precisely—

The excitement in his eyes was gone, replaced by pure destructive desire.

In the next instant, Boros vanished from his spot!

Ye Shou felt a terrifying force rushing towards him, as if it could only pass through space to reach him. Before Liu Guang could even react, he was hit hard in the chest. The enormous force was like being struck by a meteorite, and his body flew backward like a cannonball without any doubt!

The swiftly moving figure carved a deep trench in the lunar surface, tearing the ground for thousands of meters, shattering all the rocks along the way.
