Chapter 1608: Chapter 1608: A Child's Voice

In regards to the overall situation, the Sacred race were the ones who had the advantage.

However, the human race still had a praiseworthy strategy. Even against the odds, they were able to devise such an intelligent scheme.

After they sacrificed the territory of the Humanity Alliance, the Sacred race was stuck in a quagmire. The warriors of the Sacred race were unable to move any further into the universe. They continued to linger at the supreme worlds, which were on the border between the Humanity Alliance and the Thoughtless Minds.

Whenever the Sacred race wanted to continue their expansion, the Thoughtless Minds and the Blessed Buddha Land disrupted their advance. The two groups dispatched hundreds of world lords to attack the supreme worlds occupied by the Sacred race.

The most important thing in their strategy was that there seemed to be a Supreme Lord among the human race, who carried the Heavenly Destiny of a space theurgy! The Heavenly Destiny could send any martial artist into any supreme world. Additionally, the martial artist would usually appear and disappear mysteriously to make sure the enemies wouldn't be able to detect them...

As such, the Sacred race would often be bewildered with mysterious events. For example, as soon as the Sacred race occupied two supreme worlds, several world lords were sent to guard them. However, those world lords were always slaughtered suddenly just after the Supreme Lords of the Sacred race left!

In truth, the Supreme Lord who held the Heavenly Destiny was Supreme Lord Healum of the Humanity Alliance.

The Heavenly Destiny that he carried belonged to the Space Law. Additionally, the Heavenly Destiny he held contained the theurgy known as the Space Lock. The martial artist connected to the Space Lock could be thrown to any corner in the universe by Supreme Lord Healum. He could even instantly pull that martial artist back to his side!

After the Humanity Alliance was defeated by the Sacred race and retreated to the Thoughtless Minds, Supreme Lord Healum continued to employ the 'Space Lock'. He cooperated with some of the stronger warriors of the Humanity Alliance, such as Yolande and the others, to launch surprise attacks. Their guerilla tactics were more than an effective disruption for the warriors of the Sacred race.

When the Supreme Lords of the Sacred race received the news and rushed back, Yolande and the rest had already disappeared without any trace...

It was that simple tactic that disrupted the attack plan of the Sacred race. The existence of the Heavenly Destiny in the Humanity Alliance continued to be an obstacle for the Sacred race.

If the Sacred race wanted to advance towards the depths of the universe and attack more supreme worlds, then the Sacred martial artists left behind would all be defeated.

“They are indeed not that stupid. The human Supreme Lords are just acting in coordination with Zen,” Supreme Lord Palmere uttered. His expression was calm yet calculative.

“But their strategy is still successful,” Supreme Lord Denzel interjected. “Right now, the momentum of the entire Evolutionary Universe has increased by quite a bit.”

Supreme Lord Palmere suddenly smiled. “I feel like all of you are overthinking! They don't want to fight us head-on, which means that we will always have the initiative! We only need to destroy their momentum!”

After they saw Supreme Lord Palmere's confident expression, all of the other Supreme Lords of the Sacred race and Maha revealed a trace of interest on their faces. It seemed as if Supreme Lord Palmere was about to reveal an intelligent counter-strategy.

“There is such a thing called Roaring Token within the universe. We can use it to issue a challenge to the human race for a fight in a supreme world. Supreme Lords do not even need to take action. With Maha as the leader, we can constantly fight with the human world lords, Zen and the other Godly Geniuses...” Supreme Lord Palmere said calmly. A devious smile was seen on his lips.

However, halfway thru his speech, he discovered the strange gazes from Maha and the others. Thus, he asked them with a curious tone, “What's wrong?”

Maha gently turned the golden scimitar in his hand. His eyes were full of caution. “Do you think they would fall for such a simple trick?”

The other Supreme Lords also revealed looks of disbelief. Supreme Lord Irvin said in a strange tone, “Those Godly Geniuses have returned to the universe. They would surely hide at this moment. Why would they dare to reveal themselves now?” ṛαɴօʙ˧

After Supreme Lord Palmere heard the remarks, he calmly responded, “First, the location of the battle would be in a supreme world situated at the border of the Thoughtless Minds to show fairness. Second, if they didn't accept the challenge under the invitation of Maha, the enemy would only be labelled as cowards. This would suppress their morale and thus weaken the momentum of the universe!”

Supreme Lord Palmere's idea might have sounded simple to the others, but he had reasons to believe that it would work against the human race.

The human race were the ones who had declared war. Additionally, Zen had issued the war declaration throughout the entire universe. If they would not dare to accept the challenge, it would only show that the human race didn't dare fight with the Sacred race at all. It would brand them as cowards.

If such a thing happened, it would be detrimental to the morale of the human race.

Moreover, they possessed the Roaring Token of the Evolutionary Universe. With that treasure, all the creatures in the universe would hear the declaration of challenge from the Sacred race. If the human race would reject the challenge, everyone would know their cowardice. As such, the morale of the human race would be instantly destroyed!

“After we declare our challenge, they will have to take it. But no matter what method the human race choose, the final result will be a crushing defeat for them. Maha, what do you think?” Supreme Lord Palmere said with a shrewd smile.

“Pah, pah, pah!”

Maha slapped the golden scimitar's side with his strong palm. Then, with a smile on his face, he said, “Supreme Lord Palmere's suggestion is truly great!”

Even though Supreme Lord Palmere heard Maha's praise, he didn't seem happy at all. He remained neutral and didn't care about Maha's complimentary words.

Decisiveness was one of Maha's characteristics. He casually patted his waist, and then a Roaring Token appeared and floated in front of him. After it was activated, Maha's voice loudly echoed throughout the entire universe...

At the same time, Zen travelled in the Breaking Cloud World along with Geoffrey and Letitia.

The three of them were focused on their plans when they became alerted by an unexpected sound.

Maha's voice suddenly vibrated through the air, accompanied by his wild laughter. Zen and the others could clearly hear his maniacal voice.

“Zen, you talked nonsense a few days ago. Aren't you going to represent the human race to attack our Sacred race? Don't think that I have forgotten your idle threat! Now, on behalf of the Sacred race, I'll give you a fair chance. I will be waiting for you in the Sunflower Water World. I'll look forward to crushing you!”

After he was reprimanded by Zen, Maha did not make any move for several days. But with Supreme Lord Palmere's strategy, Maha's voice once again reverberated throughout the entire universe!

"What?

Maha dares to challenge Zen?"

“Maha has the cultivation base of a world lord. Additionally, he also had once killed several grand world lords. That guy's strength is far greater than that of an ordinary world lord! When Zen was in the Illusion Battlefield four years ago, he was only at the Spirit Supreme Realm... This challenge is unfair!”

“I'm afraid Zen won't accept the challenge. He is at a total disadvantage!”

“The Sunflower Water World is supreme world of the Thoughtless Minds. Maha is quite bold to choose that place. I wonder if Zen dares to accept the challenge...”

The discussions echoed throughout the universe. Everyone immediately noticed how disadvantageous the fight would be for Zen...

As the discussions continued, the momentum of the entire universe would fluctuate. This momentum could neither be seen nor touched, but it really existed.

With careful consideration, Maha's simple yet diabolical provocation was clearly a scheme. Any intelligent creature would immediately realize that the Sacred race just wanted to set up a trap. No wise warrior would take up the challenge!

However, there would always be someone who wished for a true hero to emerge from the Evolutionary Universe. That hero was believed to unite the universe and defeat the Sacred race!

After Zen issued his war declaration through the Roaring Token some time ago, many creatures placed their hopes on him. A lot of them hoped that he would accept the challenge.

If Zen tried to decline, he would inevitably leave the impression that he was someone who would talk but would not do what he said.

Maha tossed the Roaring Token on the ground and continued to fiddle with the golden scimitar. A devious smile painted his face. He had already made his move. All that was left to do was to await Zen's response...

However, Maha was startled when a child's voice echoed throughout the universe. He waited for Zen's response, and yet, a child suddenly spoke to him!

“Maha, how old are you?”

All the living creatures were stunned when they heard the child's voice. Bewilderment enveloped them as they couldn't figure out who or what the sound was from...

As for Maha and the other Supreme Lords of the Sacred race, they were also stunned. They were confused about how a child's voice suddenly vibrated to their ears.

Although it was strange, Maha was alert and did not reply with the Roaring Token. He decided to observe the situation first.

“Maha, how old are you? You can't even tell me your own age? How can you be so boastful to issue such a challenge?! You're the number one Godly Genius of the Sacred race. However, it seems that you're too cowardly to even respond to my question...” The child's voice continued to mock and provoke Maha.

The soft and young voice echoed in the universe and suddenly made countless martial artists and mortals laugh...

“Where does the child come from? The kid has balls to provoke Maha like that!”

"Ha-ha.

Let's see how Maha will answer..."

Maha was also extremely confused. Why was the situation completely different from what he had imagined? How come a child suddenly mocked him?

"Tell me! How old are you?

It's not a shameful thing to reveal your age. Why are you so hesitant? Answer me, Maha!"

The child's voice continued to demand a reply from Maha.

When Supreme Lord Denzel, Supreme Lord Irvin and the others saw Maha's hesitant expression, all of them secretly laughed in their hearts. They thought of how hilarious it was that Maha couldn't even respond to a mere child.

As for Supreme Lord Palmere, who came up with the suggestion, he had a strange expression on his face. Confusion enveloped his face as he wandered again in his thoughts. He had considered all sorts of scenarios, but he just hadn't expected that sort of thing...

In the end, Maha slapped the golden scimitar onto the ground and activated a Roaring Token. His face reflected his agitation. “I am 92 years old!”

There was a moment of silence...

Then, that child's voice said with a tone full of mockery, “You're so old! You are already a 92-year-old man! I am 11 years old, and my father is 33 years old. My father's age plus my age is only 44 years old. Even if you combined our ages, it would still be younger than you. It's simply unfair that you challenged my father to a battle. After all, if my father were to cultivate for fifty more years, he would easily beat you to the ground!”
