Chapter 2058: Chaotic Battle, Struggle for Ascendancy

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Silver Eyebrow Venerable, does it feel good? Unfortunately, you didn’t come in person, otherwise, you’d be dead for sure."

The Master of the Abyss said coldly.

The quasi-heavenly venerable divine weapon ultimately is just at the quasi-heavenly venerable level, capable of resisting ordinary quasi-heavenly venerables. However, moments ago, the Master of the Abyss stored power in advance, delivering a full-force strike that directly penetrated the armor of the Silver Eyebrow Venerable, successfully breaking through the defense.

"Die!"

The Master of the Abyss suddenly shook his arm, and the hole in the armor expanded several times, causing the soul fragment of the Silver Eyebrow Venerable inside to rapidly collapse, turning to ashes in an instant.

"Hiss!"

In the distance, Long Tianxing and the others were dumbfounded, finally seeing the legendary Master of the Abyss and experiencing his terrifying prowess firsthand.

This man is unbeatable!

"Fourth Junior Brother!"

Qingyuan and White Ape shouted in unison.

Because they are heavenly venerable spirit fragments, they can overexert quasi-heavenly venerable divine weapons with strong defense.

But Silver Eyebrow Venerable is different. He is merely an ordinary quasi-heavenly venerable, able to perfectly unleash the power of a quasi-heavenly venerable divine weapon but can’t withstand the Master of the Abyss.

This person’s combat strength has actually reached forty times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme!

What kind of concept is this?

His current basic combat strength already surpasses that of the Golden Ape and White Ape, these two One-Turn Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments.

"Master of the Abyss, you seek death!"

Jin Yuan cursed out loud.

"Everyone, now that the Master of the Abyss has become extremely difficult to deal with, we must join forces to kill him."

The three heavenly venerables of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan also entered the Outer Domain Battlefield One. Seeing the scene where the soul fragment of Silver Eyebrow Venerable was killed, they quickly reminded in a low voice.

"You guys are really useless, unable to even stop the mere Master of the Abyss!"

Jin Yuan said angrily.

One of the heavenly venerables from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan was naturally hot-tempered and immediately retorted, "Golden Ape Heavenly Venerable, your mouth is really foul! If you were so strong, why can’t you even kill the mere Emperor Dragon Sovereign now?"

Hearing this, Jin Yuan was furious, gritting his teeth.

"Haha, did you hear that? The mighty Golden Ape Heavenly Venerable can’t even kill me, a quasi-heavenly venerable. You might as well find a piece of tofu and bash yourself to death!"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign took the opportunity to mock.

"Damn it, die!" Jin Yuan transformed into a colossal golden ape thousands of meters tall, raising his hands to the sky, gathering vast amounts of sand and gravel to form a Primordial Divine Mountain, slamming it down with a heavy aura.

Rumble!

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign naturally couldn’t withstand it, his body cracking as tons of dragon scales fell off, and his undying and indestructible essence was instantly reduced by several fractions.

"What a terrifying strike!"

The Emperor Dragon Sovereign quickly retreated, forming hand seals with both hands. The fallen dragon scales flew back and adhered to his wounds, with green life light flashing on his body surface, quickly healing the injury.

Soon, the two continued their battle.

Long Tianxing and the others were left without opponents and thus turned their gaze to the three newly arrived heavenly venerables from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan.

"Disciples of the Misty Holy Sect?"

The three heavenly venerables from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan grinned maliciously, noticing that Long Tianxing and the others were all half-step heavenly venerables, thinking that a single finger could wipe them all out.

"Indeed!"

Long Tianxing and his companions were on their guard, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

Facing the heavenly venerable spirit fragments, they had no advantage.

"Die!"

One of the heavenly venerable spirit fragments from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan stepped forward, unleashing the Fundamental Domain of Laws, effortlessly pinning Long Tianxing and his companions in place, making it difficult for them to fight back.

Pop!

Immediately, Long Tianxing and his companions simultaneously collapsed, unable to withstand even a single blow from the heavenly venerable spirit fragment.

But, they soon revived.

"Why can’t they be killed?" The three heavenly venerable spirit fragments were all stunned, instinctively looking at Qingyuan.

"They possess undying bodies of an impeccable kind, fundamentally unkillable, only suppressible."

Qingyuan said while fighting fiercely.

"So that’s the case, Dragon-binding Formation!"

A heavenly venerable spirit fragment from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan plucked a few strands of hair, blowing them forward, which transformed into a flurry of long spears, pinning Long Tianxing and his companions onto a mountain peak the same way Jin Yuan had previously suppressed them.

"Damn, it’s this trick again!"

Wang Ping’an twitched the corner of his mouth.

After being suppressed, Long Tianxing, Shi Lei, and Ji Ziling exchanged glances, feeling helpless.

They couldn’t die.

But they could be suppressed by the strong.

Thus, strength remains paramount.

If they had the strength to overwhelm everyone, even if they were being killed by external forces, they wouldn’t have to fear because there would almost be no one capable of killing them.

"Strength is truly paramount!"

"Our strength is still too weak."

Long Tianxing and the others clenched their fists, struggled for a while but couldn’t break free, so they accepted their fate.

At the entrance to Universe 426.

The Master of the Abyss suddenly arrived without any regard for Jin Yuan, Mo Ying, and the others, nor did he pay attention to the heavenly venerable spirit fragments from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan who were pursuing him.

"Twin Universe, here I come!"

The Master of the Abyss laughed sinisterly and was about to pass through this portal to enter the Twin Universe.

"Don’t even think about it!"

The three heavenly venerables from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan rushed in, about to join forces to catch the Master of the Abyss.

"Fools, you’ve been tricked."

The Master of the Abyss suddenly sidestepped, not entering the Twin Universe portal but instead entering another portal labeled Universe 309.

This was a middle-rank Great Universe.

"Charge in!"

The three heavenly venerable spirit fragments from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan followed, disregarding everything else.

Mo Ying and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Master of the Abyss had entered the Twin Universe, they would have immediately fallen back to defend it.

"Aren’t you afraid of the Master of the Abyss and others causing destruction in the Twin Universe? It makes sense; Ye Feng hasn’t appeared yet. He should be the last line of defense for the universe—once he appears, there will be no one guarding the universe."

Qingyuan said to Mo Ying.

Mo Ying remained silent.

Logically, Ye Feng should have arrived long ago, but he has yet to make an appearance. Perhaps he is guarding the cosmic passage to prevent a sneak attack on the universe.

In that middle-rank Great Universe.

Upon arrival, the Master of the Abyss was immediately oppressed by the consciousness of this universe, but with the three heavenly venerable spirit fragments entering, the cosmic consciousness was startled.

It even began to tremble, never having imagined that heavenly venerable spirit fragments would descend on it.

To it, this was practically doomsday!

"Master of the Abyss, let’s see where you can run!"

The three heavenly venerable spirit fragments roared angrily, murderous intent overflowing, erupting into an earth-shattering battle with the Master of the Abyss inside this middle-rank Great Universe. After a few rounds, the surroundings collapsed repeatedly, causing the deaths of countless beings.

"A calamity indeed!"

A Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor sighed, puzzled as to why these four terrifying beings appeared in the universe, erupting into a battle that didn’t spare others’ lives.

Crack!

Before long, this high-grade Great Universe could no longer withstand it, being crushed by the aftershocks of the battle.

"Escape!"

After the universe exploded, the Master of the Abyss and the three heavenly venerable spirit fragments appeared on the surface of the Cosmic Sea. Without a word, the Master of the Abyss continued flying towards the nearby Outer Domain Battlefield One at extraordinary speed.

"Chase!"

The three heavenly venerable spirit fragments quickly pursued him.

Moments later.

A phantom emerged from the sea, precisely the doppelganger of the Master of the Abyss, holding a crystal containing pure Origin of Laws.

This was a Cosmic Crystal.

"Haha, three useful fools!"

The soul fragment of the Master of the Abyss grinned maliciously. He had intentionally entered the middle-rank Great Universe not to escape but to leverage the power of the three heavenly venerable spirit fragments to smash through the universe’s barriers, pushing the universe to the point of explosion.

That way, he could reap the spoils.

Just like now.

The Master of the Abyss was overjoyed to obtain a quasi-Heavenly Venerable level cosmic crystal.

Outer Domain Battlefield One.

The Master of the Abyss returned, causing Mo Ying, Qingyuan, and others, who were in the midst of the battle, to look at each other in surprise.

"How did they return from outside?"

"It seems that the universe they previously entered was shattered by the aftermath of the battle, so they were directly transported to the nearby sea surface."

"I see."

Qingyuan and others communicated via sound transmission.

They were engrossed in the battle, too busy to care about the Master of the Abyss, who was being pursued, and continued fighting.

At the entrance of Universe 426.

A figure slowly approached.

It was Ye Feng.

Before long, he, clad in golden armor and holding the Army-Destroyer Sword Spear, reached the vicinity of the entrance. Crossing the light curtain before him would place him in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

However, he did not proceed.

"I need to wait a bit."

Ye Feng continuously deduced, realizing that now was not the best opportunity to act because it was already near the end of November in the Twin Universe.

At that time, a quasi Saint Emperor’s path would be opened.

"If another quasi Saint Emperor comparable to the Emperor Dragon Sovereign emerges in the universe, it will be secure. This time, I hope Princess can verify her path!"

Ye Feng murmured softly.

Twin Universe, Heavenly Origin Sea.

"The end of November is approaching, and by the end of the month, the second quasi Saint Emperor’s path competition of this era will begin."

The Great Dao Golden List announced.

Then, five insignias flew out, hovering around the Great Dao Golden List, dazzlingly bright.

"This insignia, I want it!"

A tempting voice resounded, and everyone looked towards the source, surprised to see the Crimson Queen merging with a Path Qualification Insignia.

"No way?!"

"The battle power of the Crimson Queen is several times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, yet she chose not to wait two more years to participate in the Heavenly Venerable level Dao Verification, but instead compete in the quasi-Heavenly Venerable level struggle now, which is shocking!"

"Indeed, it’s hard to understand."

Everyone felt incredulous.

"Haha, I’ll join too." Before everyone could react, the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons entered the scene, merging with the second quasi Saint Emperor path qualification insignia.

"Not the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons!!"

"He’s the second in the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, with a battle power reaching thirty-two times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, and he also wants to participate in the quasi-Heavenly Venerable level path competition!"

Everyone’s minds were violently shaken.

One wave had yet to subside when another rose.

Following the Crimson Queen and the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons, Hu Feifei from the Misty Holy Sect merged with the third Path Qualification Insignia, also intending to join the path competition.

This shocked people greatly.

Due to no one daring to compete with these three, there was no fourth or fifth person emerging, leaving the fourth and fifth Dao Verifying Imprints vacant.

"With only the three of us, can the path competition proceed smoothly?" The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons frowned.

"Yes, it can." The Great Dao Golden List responded.

"That’s good then." The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons, Crimson Queen, and Hu Feifei all breathed a sigh of relief.

Outer Domain Battlefield One.

The Master of the Abyss constantly hid inside those middle-rank great universes, attracting the souls of the three Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan to chase him, then detonated those universes.

In just a few days.

Dozens of middle-rank universes were destroyed, and the Master of the Abyss obtained over ten half-step Heavenly Venerable level and three quasi-Heavenly Venerable level cosmic crystals, earning handsomely.

"Hahaha, a bunch of fools!"

The Master of the Abyss laughed sinisterly and continued to charge into a certain middle-rank great universe, pretending to battle the three Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments, taking the opportunity to blow up the universe and then using a clone to harvest cosmic crystals.

He did everything flawlessly.

It seemed as if he was running for his life, and no one knew that he was secretly collecting cosmic crystals.

The end of November.

Within the Twin Universe, Heavenly Origin Sea.

Hu Feifei, the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons, and the Crimson Queen faced each other across the distance, watching the two Path Qualification Insignias floating in mid-air and then looking back at each other.

Now, the three of them could face off against each other.

The final victor would be able to fuse with all the insignias of this round’s path competition and ascend to a quasi Saint Emperor.

"Crimson Queen, you are the weakest. Why don’t you concede and let me and Hu Feifei battle it out first?"

The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons laughed.

"Pah!" The Crimson Queen sneered, "After three days apart, one should see a person with new eyes. I’m not necessarily weaker than you now, do you believe that?"

"Oh, really?" The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons was surprised.

"Of course!" The Crimson Queen suddenly displayed an enchanting smile, her aura surging, giving one a sense equal to that of the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons.

"Oh! You have fused another law, your battle power is now on par with mine." The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons was surprised.

"Indeed." The Crimson Queen smiled mysteriously, a cunning gleam flashing in her eyes, suddenly waved her blood-red sleeves, and shot out a silver needle.

"How bold, to dare launch a sneak attack!"

The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons snorted coldly, immediately deploying the powerful Ancestral Demon True Body, transforming into a giant demon with bull horns on the head, grasping axes in both hands, simultaneously striking down.

Clang!

The Crimson Queen’s needle was severed, posing no threat, but at that moment, the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons suddenly felt a chill throughout his body and abruptly turned to look.

"Haha, a sneak attack!"

Hu Feifei appeared behind the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons, hands gripping the Hunyuan Staff tightly, raising it high, and bringing it down with all her might. The staff’s path annihilated the void entirely, and the sweeping law ripples could easily grind an ordinary Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor into powder.

"Two people are ambushing me?"

The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons was so angry that his teeth were grinding.

Boom!

The staff struck the back of the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons. Even with the Ancestral Demon True Body, he was battered by the more powerful Hu Feifei, and the Crimson Queen took the opportunity to shoot dozens of silver needles, piercing the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons.

"Ah!"

The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons screamed miserably, temporarily losing the strength to resist, battered into confusion by Hu Feifei, and as such, he was defeated.

"I am not willing!"

The Ancestor of Heavenly Demons fell into the sea, watching the imprint on his brow fly away, with the corners of his mouth twitching madly.

"I shouldn’t be in the sea, I should be in the sky; I should still be fighting!"

He was greatly unwilling.

But, the path competition allowed ambushes inherently. He hadn’t expected that, among the strongest, Hu Feifei would join forces with the Crimson Queen to launch a surprise attack on him.

With one against two and a surprise attack... It was hard for him not to lose under such circumstances.

Above the Heavenly Origin Sea.

Hu Feifei stared at the Crimson Queen, her sexy pink lips slightly curved up, and said, "I didn’t expect you would ambush the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons together with me."

The Crimson Queen laughed, "Because, I want you to verify your path to quasi-Heavenly Venerable. In this way, in the future, as my competitors for the Heavenly Venerable path qualification reduce, right?"

Hu Feifei nodded, "Indeed."

In today’s Twin Universe, the strongest in same-tier battle power is undoubtedly Ye Feng. Coming after him are Hu Feifei, the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons, Crimson Queen, and others.

Among them, Ye Feng does not need to verify his path.

In the current Twin Universe, there are only three known spots for the Heavenly Venerable Dao verification, after Hu Feifei verifies her path to quasi Heavenly Venerable, the Crimson Queen and the Ancestor of Heavenly Demons can split two of the three slots.

This way, the probability of verifying their path to Heavenly Venerable increases.

"I concede."

The Crimson Queen didn’t continue the battle, forcing the imprint out of her brow and handing it over to Hu Feifei.

Thus, the path competition concluded.

All of the universe’s powerhouses watched the process, too astounded to know what to say.

"The most hasty path competition in history!"

Someone commented thus.
