Chapter 840: Chapter 840

Outside the Weeping Emperor Battlefield, spiritual waves from the countless Heavenly Emperors created visible ripples through the air. These ripples, like waves of noise, shook everyone's spiritual senses. Some were forced to suppress their inner spirit fluctuations to avoid being disturbed by the overwhelming interference.

But they all understood why the Heavenly Emperors in the arena had suddenly lost their composure.

It was because the Scorching Flame Divine Lord's performance had completely upended their expectations.

Since the start of the Ten Thousand Tribes Overlord Competition, all major factions gradually came to realize that the Divine Race had produced a once-in-a-millennium prodigy. His strength was so overwhelming that saying he stood above all others wasn't an exaggeration.

Even the Sky Clan, the Unique Lifeform Alliance, and the Chaos Race never truly believed their top seeds could match him. Their best hope was for their vice commanders to sacrifice themselves, wearing him down and creating an opening to strike and win

There was no doubt. Scorching Flame was the biggest threat in everyone's eyes. He was the final boss, the opponent they all expected to face only at the very end.

When he descended from the sky, wielding vast spatial power, the shockwaves alone had swept across tens of thousands of meters. Even the core layers of the Astral World had felt the tremors, as if a meteor had torn through the sky.

With the sheer force of his entrance, coupled with his overwhelming presence, he truly lived up to his title as the ultimate adversary.

Yet the moment this prodigy exchanged blows with Li Pin... he was sent flying.

If it weren't for the defensive treasure that Ancestor God Hentian, the Divine Race's Supreme, had granted Scorching Flame, that strike would have done more than just brush him with the Eternal Oblivion Force. It might have left him severely wounded on the spot.

The sheer gap between expectation and reality left everyone dumbfounded. It caused a collective uproar.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Scorching Flame Divine Lord the strongest in this tournament? Is that the best he can do?"

"Such a weak prodigy of the Divine Race! Where does he get the nerve to talk so arrogantly? He almost got taken down with a single strike! Come on, get up if you've got the guts!"

"Well, to be fair, before the human Li Pin broke through, he really was the strongest among the contenders. But that kind of pride and arrogance blinded him. Even when You Xu said Li Pin was using his power to comprehend space, he didn't take it seriously. And now look. Li Pin broke through, the tide has turned, and the roles have flipped."

The Heavenly Emperors openly voiced their opinions, not holding back. From their position at the pinnacle of the Astral World, they didn't need to spare anyone's pride. They spoke as they pleased.

Ji Shun, who had been under great pressure just moments ago, finally let out a relieved breath. "As expected, we can always rely on Li Pin."

"What a truly wonderful surprise from Li Pin," the Divine Martial Emperor said with a smile he couldn't hide.

Heavenly Emperor Tai Yin and Gu You both nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they cast a quiet glance at Yao Ji and Emperor Ara.

The two supreme prodigies stood rigid, their faces tense as they watched Li Pin's impressive display of power. There was some unwillingness in their eyes, but deeper still was a lonely acceptance, the realization of the gap between them.

The two emperors sighed quietly to themselves.

There was no denying it. Yao Ji and Emperor Ara were strong. Emperor Ara's strength was on par with well-known champions like Long Li and Bloodslaughter.

Yao Ji was no different. Even compared to Shimo, Wu Jin, and You Xu, she was only slightly behind. Among all contestants from the Nine Sovereign Races, she ranked fifth.

Except for the Scorching Flame Divine Lord, the other three were evenly matched. A slight shift in luck or mindset during their fights could change the outcome.

For the Human Race, a race whose strength lay in numbers, Yao Ji was truly a once-in-a-millennium talent.

But no matter how outstanding they had been before, they all paled in comparison to Li Pin at this moment.

In this era's Ten Thousand Tribes Overlord Competition,Only one person was destined to stand in the spotlight, and that was Origin, Li Pin.

The discussions among the Heavenly Emperors and the joy from the Human Race stood in sharp contrast to the grim expressions of the Divine Race, especially Heavenly Emperor Ashura and Heavenly Emperor Wuchang.

But the other main figure in this clash, the Scorching Flame Divine Lord... he could no longer hear any of it.

At this moment, all his focus was locked onto Li Pin. He had no room to care about the noise around him.

He recalled the arc of that sword light just now, the one that surpassed even his senses.

This prodigy of the Divine Race, once brimming with boundless confidence, now forced himself into full alert. His expression turned darker than ever.

He didn't need to think to know how the world outside was judging him right now.

"Li Pin!" he growled. "You think... you can defeat me?"

His inner spirit fluctuations triggered a tremor that surged like a tsunami, sweeping wildly toward Li Pin.

In that same instant, he shot forward, his spiritual fluctuations triggering a secret art that launched him straight at Li Pin. The battle spear in his hand blazed with killing light, dragging space into chaos as it came crashing down.

Under the blast of that light, Li Pin could clearly feel time and space in this region becoming thick and sluggish, as if an invisible power had stalled their natural flow.

Even with the Ruoxi Sword in hand, and having mastered the power of space, he still found it hard to unleash his Eternal Swordlight.

His gaze instantly locked onto the battle spear in the Scorching Flame Divine Lord's hand. "A Supreme Divine Weapon!"

Supreme Divine Weapons were forged from Indestructible Matter and carried the power to suppress time and space.

The strange stagnation he was feeling now was clearly the force of Indestructible Matter exerting its control.

"Glacial Iron Cavalry!"

The spear swung through the air. Wherever the Supreme Divine Weapon passed, time and space stilled, like warhorses storming across the land, leaving blood to drench the mountains and rivers.

In Li Pin's inner spirit world, the divine-demonic figure formed from his Primordial Abyss True Demon Form turned into a bottomless void, devouring all the attacks aimed at his mind.

As for his physical self, he stepped lightly into the air and instantly escaped the range of that strike.

"You're just like You Xu, jumping around with spatial power like a headless fly," Scorching Flame spun around and lunged at him again. "But how long do you think you can keep running?"

The battle spear roared forward, its momentum unstoppable.

"Come fight me head-on!"

The words sounded bold, but many of the onlookers only responded with scorn.

You were only able to suppress Li Pin's Eternal Swordlight thanks to the Supreme Divine Weapon. Without it, you'd already be a sitting duck, forced to take hit after hit.

Heavenly Emperor Guang Wei of the Intelligent Lifeform Race gave the Divine Martial Emperor and the others a strange look. If even someone like him couldn't borrow a Supreme Divine Weapon, could Yao Ji be even stronger?

The Divine Martial Emperor sensed his ally's glance but could only remain silent.

The Supreme Divine Weapons were in the hands of the Supremes and the Divine Emperors. He had no say in who they allowed to use them.

Just then, Li Pin, who had been retreating from the battlefield using the Grand Oblivion Art, suddenly came to a stop.

Scorching Flame Divine Lord sneered coldly. Now that Li Pin had stopped running, with his Eternal Swordlight suppressed, Scorching Flame was confident that he could drag this into a direct fight and grind Li Pin down with sheer power.

"Using the Supreme Divine Weapon to suppress time and space?" Li Pin seemed to read his thoughts. Holding the Ruoxi Sword, he said calmly, "But the Eternal Swordlight holds far more power than just time and space."

Even when a Tyrant, or even a Heavenly Emperor, wielded a Supreme Divine Weapon, it was no different from a child swinging a heavy club.

If Scorching Flame couldn't achieve unity with time and space, or if his strength wasn't great enough to surpass the Supreme Divine Weapon, then that strike wouldn't just disrupt the spacetime power Li Pin wielded. Scorching Flame himself... would be impacted as well.

The only difference was how much.

A brilliant light flared from the tip of Li Pin's sword.

Ripples of space spread out in visible waves. Within those waves, matter and energy began transforming at an unimaginable speed. Under the Phantom Space Technique, everything was compressed and collided to the extreme, as if a new universe was being born.

Carried by the power of space, that universe descended into the world, causing the energy within the swordlight to soar wildly.

That surge shattered the usual ten billion energy limit for a Tyrant and rocketed far past it.

In a battle where both sides could use spatial power freely and fight at high speed, there would've been no time for Li Pin to charge, convert matter, or let space carry the load.

But now... Li Pin's energy ceiling kept soaring, climbing from 11 billion to 12 billion, then 13 billion, and beyond.

Scorching Flame Divine Lord's expression hardened at the sight of this.

Across the battlefield, the Heavenly Emperors from the Human Race, Sky Clan, Divine Race, and Intelligent Lifeform Race all turned pale as they felt the shift in Li Pin's power.

"Supreme! Supreme! He's pushing his power to its absolute limit... aiming for the Supreme Realm!?"

"How is this possible? He has actually reached such a level of control over his power !?"

What unfolded before the Heavenly Emperors shocked them no less than when Li Pin had broken through during battle and comprehended space. If anything... it was more astonishing.

Especially for Yao Ji. She had been shaken into silence after seeing Li Pin kill You Xu head-on. Now, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

A Tyrant who could freely adjust the limits of his own power. What did that mean? It meant... he already had the foundation to break into the Supreme Realm. This was the very foundation of Supremacy.

She had risked her life to enter this deadly Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War for one goal: to shatter the power limits of the Tyrant Realm and step beyond them, forging a foundation for true Supremacy. For origınal chapters go to ⓝovelFire.net

Yet now... the power she had dreamed of and fought so desperately to obtain was being wielded by Li Pin right before her eyes.

"He... how could he...?"

Yao Ji's disbelief ran deep. We are both Supreme seeds. So why... is the gap between us so vast?
