Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 145 Hope's Trump Card: Space-Time Distortion and the Supreme Artifact

"How can you dare to fight against the rule-makers if you don't have enough trump cards?"

A layer of golden patterns appeared on Hope's body, and his defense and power instantly reached their maximum.

Hope didn't know if her fusion golden body and Of's reincarnation golden body were based on similar principles, but Hope was confident that her physical body would be no worse than Utrecht's.

"I have to say, everyone underestimated you, Hope. Your strength has probably surpassed Vivia's."

Utrecht sincerely praised Hope, saying that with the strength he had shown so far, he was no longer comparable to the Lord of Life.

"However, such strength is not enough to deal with me!"

Utrecht snorted coldly, and a layer of black light began to appear on his body. In the center of the black light, his figure became much more illusory, but he remained completely still.

"Shasha~~"

Utrecht uttered a deep voice, and a huge phantom of a divine beast emerged from behind him.

The phantom was over ten thousand miles long, its enormous body completely obscuring the sky and earth. Black scales covered its entire body, and sharp light gleamed from the tens of thousands of claws on its body. On the giant beast's forehead, two eyes, one red and one white, revealed a destructive power.

Innate magical power—soul prison!
"This move?"

Hope narrowed his eyes, staring at the huge black Kun phantom. The long sword in his hand drew a circular arc, and a large amount of ice crystals condensed, forming a huge blue sphere that enveloped the entire area.

"Waving~~"

The moment he unleashed his innate divine power, Utrecht moved, gripping the supreme artifact spear in his hand, and charged out at an incredible speed.

The black spear tip instantly transformed into countless illusory clones, completely covering the entire area. After enveloping the blue sphere of light, the black light burst through the blue, and the spear shadows instantly engulfed Hope.

The moment the gunshot disappeared, a black spear was pointed directly at Hope's forehead.

The most powerful trick - destroying the world!
"Om~~"

Hope's body was enveloped in a layer of golden light, and a huge blue light emerged from the black longsword, turning into a transparent phantom that collided with the spear.

"As expected, it's not that easy!"

Utrecht gripped his spear, glancing at Hope, who had only retreated slightly, a strange glint in his eyes.

Before Utrecht developed the spacetime distortion technique, the "World Destruction" move was his strongest move. Back then, he once tried to use this move to challenge Orf.

Now, seeing his move blocked by someone else, Utrecht's feelings were complicated.

“Hope, I must say, you have really surprised me. If you hand over the Supreme God’s token now, I can leave immediately.”

Utrecht's eyes held a hint of regret, and his tone softened slightly.

"I'll give you the same thing back. Give me the Nine Spirit Pearl now, and this matter can end here."

Hope slightly raised her eyelids and spoke calmly.

"Is that so? Then be prepared to die. Even if you know the principle behind this move, you can't stop it!"

Utrecht raised his head, and four illusory figures, each two or three meters tall, appeared around him: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The phantom of the Vermilion Bird, bathed in flames, flew overhead, while the Black Tortoise stood motionless at its feet, surrounded by the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right.

"Boom~~"

At that moment, the surrounding space of tens of millions of miles seemed to freeze instantly, and a semi-transparent phantom surged straight into Hope's body.

The most powerful soul attack—Space-Time Distortion!
"Huh? He's actually taking it head-on?"

Utrecht used the spacetime distortion technique and discovered that Hope had not used any means to resist the soul attack, which made him frown.

Hope was someone who had traded the essence of the four divine beasts with him and knew the principle of spacetime distortion. Utrecht originally thought that Hope had figured out some way to deal with spacetime distortion, which was why he dared to fight him.

It seemed Hope was actually planning to withstand this soul attack head-on, which surprised Utrecht. Although Hope's willpower was twice as strong as his, without a supreme soul defense artifact, blocking this attack seemed impossible to him. However, the next second, Utrecht couldn't help but widen his eyes, because after the transparent phantom entered Hope's body, Hope didn't even react, and his expression didn't even change.

"impossible!"

Utrecht couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. As the developer of the spacetime distortion, he knew best how powerful this move was. Apart from Orf being able to block it with his supreme soul defense artifact, how could Hope not have reacted?

"A supreme artifact for soul defense?"

Utrecht's expression suddenly changed as he realized a possibility, and he gripped his spear even tighter.

"It seems that you have guessed it."

Hope slowly raised her hand, and a strong aura of destruction emanated from an ancient gray ring.

"This is a supreme artifact for soul defense and destruction!"

A flash of blood-red light appeared in Utrecht's eyes.

As the ruler of destruction, the supreme artifact of destruction should have been his, yet he received absolutely no information about it.

"You've used up your special move. Now it's my turn!"

A cold glint flashed in Hope's eyes, and he increased his speed to the extreme, reaching Utrecht in almost an instant.

"damn it!"

Utrecht's expression changed slightly, and he began to swing his spear once more, with illusory spear shadows flashing by.

"Does that mean we have to use that move?"

While fending off Hope's attacks, Utrecht was constantly thinking to himself.

Ever since his last defeat to Of, Utrecht has been researching new moves, and finally, he successfully completed a new move that combines spacetime distortion with the destruction of the world: Spacetime Annihilation.

However, this move still has a major flaw. Once used, it will consume a large amount of Wu Kun's essence blood, causing Utrede to fall into a weakened state.

In his weakened state, Utrecht's physical body will become weaker due to the loss of bloodline support, and he will also be unable to use his innate supernatural powers. At that time, his strength will be reduced to only one percent over hundreds of millions of years.

Even disregarding the reactions of Of, Sanatos, and Vivia, the combined attack from Palhaus, Byr, Ninisha, and Baruch after Hope's death would be difficult for him to handle, given his weakened state.

However, Utrecht quickly realized what was happening, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"As long as I kill Hope, I can directly obtain a supreme artifact for soul defense, and with the mission of the supreme god of life, I can also obtain a supreme artifact for material defense. At that time, so what if I am weakened? With three supreme artifacts in hand, even Auf cannot kill me!"

Utrecht's gaze sharpened, and black light once again appeared on his body, temporarily blocking Hope before he retreated rapidly.

"Hope, this move is my new ultimate technique that combines spacetime distortion and world-destroying power. Spacetime Annihilation is my strongest material attack, which I have never used on a human before. Today, you are the first. Prepare yourself!"

Utrecht snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand jingled once more. His black robes fluttered, and the phantoms of the four divine beasts began to appear around him. At the same time, four beams of light emanated from the black spear in his hand, which were then injected into the phantoms of the four divine beasts.

"The strongest material attack?"

Hope was slightly taken aback, and her expression became much more serious. This move was indeed somewhat unexpected for Hope.

"However, you have your special tricks, and I have mine!"

Hope raised her longsword high, and a huge golden light shone, instantly forming a golden six-pointed star magic circle within a radius of a thousand miles.

At the four corners of the magic circle, crimson, ice blue, pale cyan, and earthy yellow light, like flowing water, began to converge towards the sword blade.

"Utrecht, this is my strongest move, created by combining the essence of the four divine beasts with the power of the fusion god through a magic circle. It's a fusion of sword intent. Today, let me see which move is stronger, yours or mine!"

Hope's voice entered Utrecht's mind directly, causing the latter's expression to change slightly. However, there was no way out now; all that remained was to fight.
