Chapter 938: Chapter 938

The energy shockwaves from the clash between Creator Yong Yao and Supreme Regalheaven struck the hundreds of Supremes who were observing the fight like a tidal wave.

The annihilation of matter and energy spread in all directions through spacetime at speeds exceeding that of light. The energy that erupted was nearly enough to erase one percent of a Supreme's mass in the blink of an eye.

The Supremes watching were shocked and alarmed.

Several non-human Supremes couldn't help but exclaim, "So powerful!?"

"With Regalheaven and Equiheaven fused, they now possess both the mass of a Supreme and the omniscience and omnipotence of a Transcendent, with exquisitely refined control and computational facilities. Each of his attacks touches the upper ceiling of Supreme power, the pinnacle of strength. That's something we simply cannot match."

"I have to admit, I'd be no match for him in a fight. Unless I enter the fight with only survival in mind from the very beginning, I probably won't be able to leave with my life, let alone maintain my Supreme mass."

"No wonder the Human Race dared to proclaim Regalheaven as the universe's number one. With this level of strength... he truly deserves the title."

The inner spirit power of each Supreme surged and churned.

To these beings standing at the peak of the universe, no amount of words could compare to the shock of seeing it firsthand. No matter how powerful someone was rumored to be, no Supreme would be convinced unless they personally witnessed them act.

Even if a direct clash occurred, as long as there was no overwhelming dominance, their pride would never allow them to accept defeat.

The gap between Supremes was genuinely small, and their massive masses made complete annihilation of one another nearly impossible. This was why so many Supremes in the vast starry cosmos were so arrogant.

Seeing the power Supreme Regalheaven had displayed now had surpassed their expectations.

However, some Supremes who were more familiar with Regalheaven immediately activated their inner spirit power to calm their acquaintances' unease.

"Only when Regalheaven and Equiheaven merge does he gain such strength. But Equiheaven is a Transcendent. After they merge, those Transcendent traits will gradually fade. As long as we split up and scatter the moment we sense the fusion, he won't be able to do anything to us. Once he falls out of that strongest form, he's just a relatively strong Supreme."

"It's only because Creator Yong Yao promised not to retreat in a frontal clash that Regalheaven can flaunt such strength. Otherwise, how long could he even maintain this state?"

"Regalheaven isn't as powerful as we imagined. Otherwise, the Human Race would've unified the universe long ago, and they would've bothered to maintain the delicate balance between the nine Supreme factions."

The Supremes comforted each other through their inner spirit fluctuations.

However, when Regalheaven's attacks landed on Creator Yong Yao only for him to recover in mere moments, their reassuring voices quickly died down.

On the battlefield, Supreme Regalheaven and Creator Yong Yao erupted into dozens of rapid clashes.

In each clash, Supreme Regalheaven, wielding the power of Equiheaven, held a clear upper hand. Yet no matter how fierce and violent his attacks were, Creator Yong Yao stood firm, his power of reincarnation endlessly renewing. Even when a strike pierced him cleanly, he would recover quickly.

It was like how Li Pin fought Supreme Great Heaven years ago. Unless Supreme Great Heaven could kill Li Pin in one blow, Li Pin would never lose.

In fact, as time went on, Creator Yong Yao seemed to grow stronger by absorbing matter and energy scattered during his clashes with Regalheaven.

Fortunately, after fusing with the power of Transcendent Equiheaven, Regalheaven's control over his power had reached perfection. Otherwise, he'd would've grown weary as the fight dragged on, while Creator Yong Yao would grow stronger.

The hearts of the Supremes watching, who didn't trust Yong Yao or Miao Ya, lurched at the sight.

These Creators' strength had far exceeded their expectations.

After merging with Equiheaven, Regalheaven had shown power surpassing the Supreme level, but even that was not enough to overcome Yong Yao. He might have held the upper hand, but he couldn't land a decisive blow to suppress Yong Yao completely.

If Regalheaven could maintain his current state indefinitely, the two could fight to an endless stalemate. However, as the battle wore on, Equiheaven's Transcendent state would erode as karma seeped into him.

Under these circumstances, the outcome of the battle was already clear. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI~Fire.net

The Human Race and its allied Supremes wore solemn expressions.

Meanwhile, the Supremes aligned with Transcendent Black White smiled.

"Truly worthy of being Creators who can survive within the Void of Chaos. Our choice was correct. Only by cooperating with the Creators can the countless lives in our starry cosmos have a real future."

"The outcome of their battle doesn't matter to me. I will stand with whoever can point me to the correct path. As it stands, the Creator path carried on from the ancient era is the right one."

Hearing their words, even the Supremes who had adopted a neutral stance started to waver. Leaning toward the ancient Astral World's Creator Path had become the prevailing trend.

"They've reached the level we were at when we departed... no! They're even stronger than when we left the starry cosmos. After all, over countless years, the mass they've accumulated has surpassed ours..."

Creator Yong Yao, assuming the outcome was set, clearly relaxed. He praised, "It's impressive that you can reach this level, but it's still far from enough to defeat me..."

"This method is indeed lacking," Supreme Regalheaven said calmly. "But what if I added the power of nineteen other Supremes, and I coordinated with them as the central core?"

At these words, several Creators' expressions changed at once.

Just one Supreme Regalheaven was already hard enough to deal with. In a confrontation, he had even held the upper hand. Though Supreme Regalheaven's state couldn't last, and a prolonged battle would eventually favor them, they had spoken so boldly before that going back on their word now didn't sit well with them.

"It's just a joke," said Supreme Regalheaven.

Just as the Creators breathed a sigh of relief, Supreme Regalheaven spoke again.

"To deal with you all, I do not need the help of other Supremes."

Suddenly, an invisible ripple spread outward from him.

As the ripple spread, all the Supremes watching sensed a change in the universe.

Originally, Supremes integrated with the universe, becoming part of its rules and mastering them, forming masses comparable to supermassive gravitational anchors. But now, as this invisible ripple emanated from Supreme Regalheaven, they felt something awaken.

The universe seemed to be slowly coming to life.

Even though it was only the portion of the universe touched by Regalheaven's ripple that came to life, it still startled the Supremes.

The expressions of several Creators with keen senses immediately changed.

Supreme Regalheaven gazed at the Creators. "Our mass, our influence, at most spans a diameter of one hundred million light years. Yet, compared to this vast universe, even a hundred million is but the tiniest fraction. You may be able to withstand our power, but can you withstand the power of the entire universe?"

Supreme Regalheaven made a pressing gesture in the air. Instantly, a terrifying force surged forth, as if all the rules of the universe were crashing down together.

At that moment, Creator Yong Yao, though born of the starry cosmos, felt a pervasive hostility from it, like a monstrous grinding wheel, threatening to pulverize him into dust.

"The Power of the Universe?" Creator Miao Ya was shocked. "I told you we should have accumulated enough fortune and gained the universe's recognition, becoming its rightful rulers first. If we had gathered the universe's fortune into one, something couldn't have threatened us."

The other Creators remained silent, their eyes fixed on Yong Yao.

As Regalheaven mobilized the full force of the entire universe—one hundred million light-years of mass leveraged against ten billion—the thousand-fold increase overwhelmed Yong Yao's defenses instantly.

Unable to withstand it, Yong Yao retreated in a flash, escaping from Supreme Regalheaven's attack.

Supreme Regalheaven's voice echoed through the void. "Didn't you say you'd face me head-on without retreat?"

These words left Creator Yong Yao as well as the other Creators visibly humiliated. After all, they were on the same side. Regalheavenn mocking Yong Yao was tantamount to mocking them all.

"You can retreat as far as you wish, but your end is inevitable. You cannot escape." Regalheaven spread his arms and pressed his palms together. "The moment you stepped into this universe, your fate was sealed."

With this simple gesture, an even more immense force of rules came crashing down.

Yong Yao felt as if he had become the enemy of the entire universe, forced to fight it alone. This power was something he could no longer resist.

Seeing this, Creator Li took a step forward and blocked Regalheaven.

His mass wasn't that different from Yong Yao's, but his power contained a distinct quality. As a result, even the power of the universe struggled to crush him.

"Yong Yao has no path of his own, so when facing the power of the universe, he is left completely helpless. But I... am different," Creator Li said calmly.

Supreme Genesis snorted, "What, wasn't it supposed to be one-on-one? Now it's two against one?"

"It's still one-on-one." Creator Li replied. "But I'll be the one fighting now."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Supremes of the starry cosmos.

Their morale was wavering. Some had already begun to doubt them.

The Creators hadn't expected the starry cosmos to produce such an illogical being as Regalheaven. This operation was destined to fall short of expectations.

In that case, they would keep it simple. They would use the most direct method, absolute power, to subdue the entire starry cosmos.

"Creator Li, your fame was unparalleled during the era of the Ancient Astral World," said Supreme Regalheaven. "But if you think I am the strongest in the universe, and that by defeating me—or rather, us—you'll have conquered the universe, then you are gravely mistaken."

Creator Li paused for a moment, then grasped Supreme Regalheaven's meaning. "You mean... there's someone stronger than you?"

Then, as if feeling that the term Supreme was no longer enough to describe Li Pin, he corrected himself.
