Chapter 842: Chapter 842

Sweep through all the races!

When Heavenly Emperor Ashura said those words, the faces of Heavenly Emperor Ethereal and the others darkened.

At yesterday's Ten Thousand Tribes Prodigy Competition, Li Pin had already shown overwhelming dominance, crushing the elites of every race. Each faction had taken losses, some heavier than others.

Fortunately, while the damage was serious, it was still within what their clans could bear.

But the Overlord Competition was a different story entirely...

Leaving aside the economic and strategic consequences, if their race ended up being the first testing ground for the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, the outcome could affect their entire future.

And now, the situation was becoming clear. Li Pin's strength was nearly unstoppable.

Even the Scorching Flame Divine Lord, who had mastered spatial powers and wielded a Supreme Divine Weapon, had been defeated in a direct clash. For anyone else to fight Li Pin was nothing short of suicide.

Right now, Li Pin's protective technique had already been broken, and the dozen or so Tyrants trapped in the Cosmic Genesis Chart were getting restless, ready to break free at any moment.

If they were truly willing to pay the price, it wasn't impossible to surround and kill him.

But... the price would be steep.

Just then, sensing the shifting thoughts of the other Heavenly Emperors, Heavenly Emperor Ashura dropped another bombshell.

"My clan's Scorching Flame and Bloodslaughter will face Li Pin head-on. All you need to do is support from the sides.

"Also, Li Pin definitely carries a Transcendent Divine Weapon. That's how he's been able to avoid detection from the Eternal Oblivion Force. Once he's dead, the Divine Race won't take that Transcendent Divine Weapon, or any of the Sovereign Divine Weapons he's revealed."

Those words instantly lit up everyone's eyes. "A Transcendent Divine Weapon?!"

Though Transcendent Divine Weapons were on the same level as Supreme and Highlord Divine Weapons, their functions differed. Those who pursued the Transcendent path often distanced themselves from the world. Many even joined the Void faction, hoping to truly step into the Transcendent Realm.

Because of that, the Transcendent Divine Weapons circulating outside were extremely rare. And rare meant valuable.

The worth of a single Transcendent Divine Weapon could match that of two Supreme Divine Weapons.

And that wasn't even counting the Sovereign Divine Weapons on Li Pin, which, while a tier lower, were still incredibly valuable.

This kind of benefit, coupled with the high stakes of the Ten Thousand Tribes Overlord Competition, was already enough to push these races to take the risk.

The Heavenly Emperors exchanged glances and quickly made their decision. They each sent out a spiritual transmission.

Even the Chaos Clan's Heavenly Emperor looked at Wu Jin for a moment before turning to Li Pin.

As the host of this competition, the Chaos Clan couldn't afford to go too far. In the end, he only sent Wu Jin a brief message, "When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. Wait until the dust settles, then make your move."

Wu Jin frowned slightly but didn't respond.

As the supreme prodigy of the Chaos Clan, he had his own pride.

Although Li Pin had already shaken that pride by first killing You Xu, then defeating Scorching Flame, Wu Jin still looked down on the idea of ganging up with the others. Googlᴇ search novelFɪre.net

Meanwhile, Shimo of the Unique Lifeform Alliance, Tian Sha of the Demon Race, and Long Li of the Sky Clan made their moves without hesitation.

The three of them, along with ten Tyrants from their main and vassal clans, plunged down from a third of the way up the Supreme Pillar like thirteen falling stars.

Their bodies slammed into the high-energy Astral World environment, leaving trails of fire visible to the naked eye, like meteors burning through the atmosphere.

A contestant from the Intelligent Lifeform Race growled and stepped forward, ready to enter the battle. "This is going too far!"

But he was stopped by You Lan, the trump card of their race.

You Lan looked at Li Pin, whose eyes held not the slightest trace of fear. Instead, his fighting spirit blazed even stronger.

He said calmly, "It's not time yet."

"We might end up seeing a miracle today."

You Lan's words immediately made the contestant realize something. "Is he planning to..."

In the Human Race camp, Yue Shu and Xuan Chengming gasped. "Crush all the races!"

Their hearts burned with excitement. Crush all the races. With the way Li Pin was fighting... he was clearly about to accomplish what almost no one ever had in the history of the competition: A complete, overwhelming sweep.

"Head for the Supreme Pillar. I'll back up His Majesty, Sacred Monarch Origin!" Xuan Chengming said quickly.

"I'm stronger. I should be the one supporting him," Yue Shu snapped back.

He promptly headed toward the battlefield.

But his pace wasn't fast. Clearly, he didn't plan to jump into the fight right away.

Seeing this, several of the Human Race's vassal races and allied clans exchanged glances.

After glancing at the Divine Martial Emperor, who had given no further orders, each of them also sent one Tyrant and one Cosmic Radiance down toward the battlefield beneath the Supreme Pillar.

Among these people, those who were already seen as cannon fodder or background figures didn't think much of it. But those who saw themselves as peerless prodigies...

When they looked at the lone figure battling more than a dozen elites from all races, their expressions turned complicated.

There was awe, envy, admiration, and... the quiet acceptance that they were not on the same level.

They saw the gap. And came to terms with their own mediocrity.

On the battlefield below, Li Pin's sword struck like a force unstoppable, shattering the defensive divine weapons protecting the Scorching Flame Divine Lord. Even his protective technique collapsed under the Eternal Swordlight.

At that moment, the Bloodslaughter Divine Lord, the first to act when rescuing You Xu, rushed in to attack. He had been lurking nearby, waiting for a chance to strike

"Hahaha, just in time," Li Pin laughed, fully enjoying the fierce battle where a single misstep could cost his life. It was in such brutal fights that he could truly unleash his swordsmanship, combat skills, and secret arts.

He had once thought that mastering the laws of space was the same as reaching the third level of the Phantom Space Technique.

But theory was one thing. Actually making space and this technique perfectly align, and drawing out their full power, was another matter.

Now, in this intense fight, his thoughts and consciousness raced at near-limit speed.

The matter, energy, and space simulated by the Great Dao Radiance flowed smoothly under the guidance of the Phantom Space Technique, without the slightest delay.

At this moment, he looked like a true Sacred Monarch, effortlessly transforming matter and evolving the cosmos, using space itself to carry this power. Every slash of his sword carried earth-shattering force.

With the added time-space acceleration from the Ruoxi Sword, the Bloodslaughter Divine Lord was blasted away by the Eternal Swordlight in just a glance.

Almost as the Divine Lord was sent flying, Long Li burst through the air and charged forward.

But just as his attack was about to land on Li Pin, a visible ripple spread from the Sovereign Divine Weapon, the Ring of No Bound.

It was a force of spatial imprisonment.

Compared to before, when Li Pin had not yet mastered space, this confinement was far stronger. The ripple swept over Long Li, freezing him like an insect trapped in amber. His movement stopped instantly.

A violent surge of energy burst from within, shattering the spatial restraint and setting him free.

The Sky Clan's innate affinity with space was so strong that even Sacred Monarchs couldn't easily restrain their Tyrants, despite their lack of true mastery over it.

But that brief pause had already cost him dearly.

A burst of Eternal Swordlight erupted in dazzling brilliance, engulfing Long Li's entire field of vision.

"Not good!" Long Li's expression shifted drastically. He immediately pushed his Phantom Strider footwork to the limit. Amid a surge of chaotic spatial turbulence, he narrowly slipped out of the swordlight's reach.

As the spatial ripples continued to spread, the Bloodslaughter Divine Lord, who had been counting on Long Li to delay Li Pin and was poised to strike again, suddenly froze.

He hadn't realized when Li Pin, empowered by the Grand Oblivion Art, had silently appeared before him.

The sword in Li Pin's hand pierced through the Divine Lord's body, following a trajectory that lay beyond the confines of time and space.

Eyes wide, the Bloodslaughter Divine Lord lowered his head slightly. "I..."

Before the word had even fully left his lips, Li Pin, still channeling the Grand Oblivion Art, had already turned and charged toward Long Li once more.

Meanwhile, the faint glow of the Infinite Star Abyss Body gradually began to re-emerge.

Normally, restoring a defensive technique after it had been broken would not be easy. After all, even secret arts that focused on devouring required a digestion phase, didn't they?

But what supported Li Pin's cultivation system had never been the matter, energy, or spatial frameworks he had accumulated. It was the Great Dao Radiance.

Everything about him, including his current Sacred Monarch cultivation, was shaped by the simulation of the Great Dao Radiance.

While others needed time to recover their protective techniques after they were broken, he only needed to replenish them with the Great Dao Radiance.

Amid the faint starlight, Li Pin had already caught up behind Long Li.

At that moment, Shimo and Tian Sha, the two elite speedsters, were just about to reach Long Li.

The two invincible Tyrants, each capable of reaching the ninety-second, ninety-third, even ninety-fourth step of the Supreme Ladder, launched their attacks at the same time.

The Demon Race's Tian Sha split into two. One of the figures, like a shadow, rushed forward with a sword, charging straight at Li Pin in a stance that clearly sought mutual destruction.

While forming a hand seal, the unique lifeform, Shimo, shouted, "Stop!"

As the seal took shape, Li Pin suddenly heard ticking—tick, tick—echoing in his mind. The sound made him feel a wave of drowsiness, as if he might drift off at any moment.

But deep down, he understood, this was the crucial moment of battle, the very scene he had waited decades for. He couldn't let himself miss it because of some illusion-induced sleepiness.

He quickly pulled himself together, spirit rising and fighting will burning. He kept his eyes locked on the retreating Long Li.

In the next instant, the power of spacetime exploded outward.

Visible ripples of space swept through the air, instantly scattering Tian Sha's Shadow Kill.

That sudden attack hadn't even matched the power of a single strike from Di A'ra.

As the shadow was flung away, the Eternal Swordlight erupted in front of Long Li. Along with it, a dazzling, resplendent galaxy burst open.

Long Li was momentarily stunned. The scene looked almost identical to the invincible sword strike Li Pin had once used to severely wound and crush the Scorching Flame Divine Lord.

By the time he realized this was the inner spirit secret art, Galactic Starburst, the Eternal Swordlight had already faded, leaving behind only faint traces in the air.

A flash of unwillingness and pain crossed Long Li's face. "It's over..."

In the next instant, the remnants of the Eternal Swordlight completely erased his figure.
