Chapter 1078: Chapter 767: Witch’s Fall (Double-Length) (Part 3)
His face became increasingly aged, his entire body exuding a thick aura of death.
"In just three more years, we can enjoy the spectacle of world’s end together," the Witch laughed. "It’s my first time witnessing the death of the universe, truly beautiful, it makes me feel so much. If I get another life, I won’t need to walk the God Sealing Dao, and still hope to ascend to the Supreme, without being a wanderer all my life."
"You want another life? Keep dreaming your Spring and Autumn Dream," Lu Chenzhou sneered. "You’re at least a legendary figure of the Wizard Civilization, yet you collude with the remnants of those backward Ancient Gods, squandering your future for nothing. I truly pity you."
"It seems you’ve already thoroughly investigated my identity, but I have no regrets. If I don’t seal as a god, with my talent, in these short tens of thousands of years lifespan, it’s simply not enough to ascend to Supreme. Not everyone is like you; getting to legendary was already my utmost effort. I also don’t have a friend like the Primordial Ancestor, able to have the Netherworld show leniency, granting me endless lifespan," the Witch said, clearly envious of the Tower Master and Hall Master of Dawn and others.
"No matter how much you say, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re an invader," Lu Chenzhou’s onslaught became more and more fierce.
"You’re still too young. When you’re cornered, I believe you will be just like me," the Witch said.
Squelch! A long spear pierced through His chest, a Divine Lotus blossomed, petal by petal, eventually displaying 720 colors.
This spear was Lu Chenzhou’s strongest to date, merging all his Dao understanding.
In a mysterious connection, he sensed that 720 Daos were his current limit.
Bang! Splendid brilliance erupted, the Witch’s form gradually disintegrated, and the Divine Kingdom above the high heavens began collapsing.
"This spear has the bearing of Supreme, not bad," the Witch said, and four splendid Divine Ranks flew out from his body, representing earth, fire, wind, and water.
These four Divine Ranks floated before Lu Chenzhou, and the Witch said, "Come, swallow me, let’s see if you can reach Supreme."
Crack! Lu Chenzhou sliced down with his long spear, shattering all four Divine Ranks, choosing not to refine them.
"No need." The Witch, unlike ordinary True Gods, couldn’t be trusted to refine his Divine Ranks.
In case there’s any hidden backhand, wanting to seize the body, it would turn the tide in the ditch.
Given his Realm, whether to swallow the Witch has little significance, at most, it could raise some Dao to the Daoist Lord Realm.
But at the end of the Dao, it cannot help him achieve Supreme.
Moreover, he’s not planning on taking the path of merging the Great Cosmic Will and the 3000 Daos to reach Supreme.
Even if it is Supreme, it wouldn’t be unrestricted, like the Earth God bound to a domain.
What he wants is to transcend the Great Universe, abandon the Dao, sanctify with body, spirit, and skill, uniting the three treasures of Essence, Spirit, and Qi!
"You’re still so cautious, in that case, let me tell you, if you want to save this universe, go to the Endless Chaos to find a new universe, capture its universe core will, and transfer it to the Great Universe, or implant the universe heart of another, not yet perished, universe into the Great Universe."
Before dying, the Witch told Lu Chenzhou a method, though whether it would work is unknown.
Lu Chenzhou said nothing, slashing down with his long spear, rendering everything of the Witch into nothingness.
Thus the ancient God leader, who once troubled two universes, fell.
Divine Kingdom fragments collapsed, getting swept into the chaotic storm, dissipating into nothing in an instant.
Exhausted, Lu Chenzhou left the universe core, arriving at the Xia Realm.
His gaze penetrated the endless starry sky, seeing that even the edge of the starry sky had begun collapsing.
"I need to hurry."
Lu Chenzhou first entered his inner world, informing everyone of the Witch’s death.
Though everyone was despairing, confronting the defeat of the final boss they long battled against evoked mixed feelings.
"The era of the myriad star gods has passed."
"If not for that damn Star Lord Si Chen, we would have won completely. Alas."
"No matter what, the Alliance Hierarch has worked hard."
Countless people looked up to the white-robed figure in the sky, full of gratitude.
...
"The Witch is dead, the Blood God is dead... everyone else is dead."
On the other side, Lord Toad, still suppressed by Lu Chenzhou, witnessed the successive fall of the gods.
He chuckled at the end, though it was pointless.
"The Great Universe is also going to perish. That Si Chen, truly a beast. Someone as evil as me can’t even compare," cursed Lord Toad.
"Whatever, seeing Lu Chenzhou die with me isn’t a bad choice," He slumped on the ground, waiting for the universe’s end.
...
Elder Council.
"You need to leave the Great Universe again?" Yaochi Immortal asked worriedly.
"If we want to save the Great Universe, perhaps we can only try the Witch’s method," Lu Chenzhou sighed.
Ascending to Supreme within three years had too many uncertainties.
He estimated sanctifying body, skill, and spirit to ascend to Supreme.
But now, the Body Tribulation and Spiritual Tribulation hadn’t passed, or rather, couldn’t be passed, because the universe was perishing.
As a being born within the universe, without transcending before its end, the universe’s demise indeed bars ascension to Supreme.
This point, Lu Chenzhou could verify on the Star Universe’s side as well.
"Alright then, be careful..." Yaochi Immortal softly said.
"Little Junior Brother, if you flee the Great Universe, can you survive?" Mr. Turtle asked.
Lu Chenzhou shook his head: "I’m not sure, maybe I’ll live, maybe I’ll die."
Though he had the Infinite Dao, able to transcend the universe, he was not yet Supreme.
Heading to the Endless Chaos was not frightening; with his skills, even encountering Supreme, he could survive.
The problem lay in the passage of time.
He feared that just as he reached the Endless Chaos, the universe would have already vanished here.
Eventually, Lu Chenzhou bid farewell to everyone, embarking on the journey alone.
Before leaving, he visited the Star-Picking Tower one last time. "Although the Star-Picking Tower was created by Emperor Zhan, there are evidently unsolved mysteries. At Emperor Zhan’s level, how did he create the ten thousandth level? After all, back then, even with my True God strength, I couldn’t fight to the top. I hope there’s something useful here."
With his current strength, he cleared the path to the ten thousandth floor effortlessly.
He opened the ancient Bronze Star Gate, revealing a dazzling starry sky within.
Endless chaotic Qi flows spun, forming storm-like clouds.
Above the clouds, a thousand rays of golden light emerged, faintly revealing a Jade Palace hidden within.
Lu Chenzhou pondered for a moment, climbed the steps, and arrived at the palace.
A Flame Giant clad in red armor appeared out of thin air, exuding the momentum of a blazing sun, impossible to gaze upon directly.
It scrutinized Lu Chenzhou, then smiled and said, "After countless years, finally a new Supreme has arrived."
Lu Chenzhou looked around. Besides himself, there was nobody else.
He was puzzled and pointed to himself: "Me? Supreme?"
