You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

The moment Ye Lingtian completed that earth-shattering advancement and stepped into a higher dimension, his will did not falter in the slightest, immediately joining the battlefield.

This death arena, shrouded in the turbulent currents of violent rules and shattered spacetime, has, over the years, formed a strange and fragile dynamic balance.

The four transcendent beings exerted their full power, like four wedges of rules nailing down a cosmic behemoth, firmly sealing off every attack and breakout attempt of the spirit realm avatar, preventing it from escaping the cage of the Star Abyss.

[Meanwhile, the spirit realm avatar, relying on the immense foundation of the Great World's will and its exquisite control over the rules, was like walking a tightrope on a precipice amidst the relentless onslaught of the four transcendent beings.]

Despite facing constant danger and having its core resources continuously depleted, it always managed to stabilize itself at the critical moment and never completely collapsed.

The forces of both sides canceled each other out in countless collisions, like two torrents sweeping across the galaxy, locked in a stalemate of endless struggle yet unable to determine a victor.

But Ye Lingtian's arrival changed everything.

The moment this figure, shrouded in a greyish-white aura of the end, stepped onto the battlefield, the breathtakingly precise dynamic balance shattered like fragile glass.

[When Ye Lingtian was still at the top True God level, he dared to unleash terrifying power that was briefly comparable to that of a transcendent being, at the cost of burning away his own essence.]

Now, he has truly stepped into the realm of transcendence.

When he once again rekindled the final flames symbolizing self-sacrifice without reservation, the rules of slaughter that permeated his being underwent a fundamental transformation.

[That was no longer a simple act of slaughter; its rules and patterns were profound and mysterious, faintly emanating a supreme aura that made even the most fundamental laws of the universe tremble.]

It was as if this carnage had touched upon some ultimate truth about the workings of the universe.

When Ye Lingtian's fist, wreathed in greyish-white flames of the end, carrying with it a nascent supreme killing rule, slammed fiercely into the defensive barrier constructed of pure order runes of his spirit realm avatar.

【boom--!】

A terrifying roar, as if the very foundations of the universe were being shaken, erupted.

The shield of order that the spirit avatar possessed—enough to withstand the combined attack of four transcendents without faltering—was instantly riddled with spiderweb-like cracks upon contact.

The next moment, a destructive energy carrying the will to end all things began to frantically erode and dismantle the laws of order that formed the shield.

[The core of the spirit realm avatar, constructed from cold logic, felt for the first time the primal terror emanating from the will of the greater world.]

[This power can actually withstand a direct confrontation with the fundamental will of the Great World without collapsing?]

[To the side, the Source Demon God and the Lord of Power, allies.]

These two beings, both standing at the pinnacle of transcendence, witnessed Ye Lingtian's earth-shattering attack. Their demonic eyes blazed with undisguised shock and admiration.

They had long anticipated that Ye Lingtian would become even stronger after his advancement, perhaps even surpassing them, but they never imagined the gap would be so vast.

This is so exciting!

The level of power Ye Lingtian is currently displaying has completely surpassed theirs, entering a new realm that they can only look up to.

[Theoretically speaking, at the True God level, burning one's source energy allows one to leapfrog a level in combat.]

But in the supreme realm of the transcendent, with each step forward, the chasm widens as if the difference between heaven and earth were vast.

A single step can make all the difference!

The Lord of Power's pure body, composed of the rules of power, trembled slightly, as if resonating with them, or silently acknowledging the suffocating gap in their power.

The vast majority of Ye Lingtian's power and will were firmly locked onto his spirit realm avatar, where the greyish-white flames of the end burned fiercely.

Each attack carried a destructive rhythm that chilled even the will of the Great World, determined to bury this avatar utterly in the Abyss of Stars. However, wielding the supreme rules of slaughter, his perception had long since transcended the boundaries of time and space.

At the very instant he launched a full-scale attack on his spirit realm avatar, a wisp of his perfectly condensed killing rule, containing a portion of his will and origin, instantly traversed the endless star abyss and returned to the Red Heart Society's headquarters.

After all, I still need to come back and share the good news about my success.

But in the instant that wisp of his consciousness returned, what came into view was the battlefield of rebellion, instigated by dozens of transformed True Gods, fiercely confronting the Red Heart Society gods led by Agrus.

To be honest, he didn't understand.

[Why do these people who have converted to Taoism choose to rebel at this time?]

The five transcendent beings were merely engaged in fierce combat with the spirit realm avatars on the front lines of the Star Abyss; they did not perish.

Even if these rebellious gods manage to break through the defenses of Aglios and the Red Heart Society gods and temporarily take control of the Red Heart Society, so what?

[When the Star Abyss War ends, the five Transcendent Ones will return, carrying the momentum of victory and perhaps even possessing terrifying power that allows them to advance further.]

What other fate awaits these rebels besides being crushed into cosmic dust?

What is the point of such a foolish act that is destined to fail?

But this wisp of confusion, like a pebble thrown into the sea of ​​the end, was instantly swallowed and annihilated by the vast and boundless will to kill.

【reason?】

【motivation?】

[The underlying scheming?]

All of this loses its meaning in the face of absolute power.

It doesn't matter anymore!

This wisp of divine will was as cold as ancient ice, conveying the true self's indifferent and resolute nature.

He has completed his ultimate advancement and entered an unprecedented realm.

Even if what returns at this moment is only a wisp of his spirit, carrying only a negligible amount of his original power.

However, this sliver of power, after merging with the nascent supreme-attribute killing rule, was enough to easily suppress and kill the top-tier true gods of the rules.

Therefore, the moment that fragment of the killing spirit returned to the core territory of the Red Heart Society and gained insight into the scene of the rebellion, the heavens changed.

The greyish-white killing rules, imbued with the aura of ending all things, surged forth like a tide of death rising from the depths of the Netherworld, silently yet irresistibly engulfing the entire Crimson Heart Society in an instant.

Space seemed to freeze, and time almost stood still.

[All the surging divine power, roaring rules, and flashing energy on the battlefield were forcibly paused at this moment.]

[An irresistible, primal fear, stemming from the very essence of life, instantly gripped the core of the divine essence of every rebellious god.]

[Something seemed to come to my mind from the depths of my being.]

A powerful being has descended! (End of Chapter)
