Xu Zhi was in an almost mystical, hazy state.

The Grand Universe Quantum Martial Arts seemed to lack direct combat power, but in reality, it was the strongest form of combat. This was because knowledge is power; it provided access to the vast wisdom and knowledge of the entire universe. As long as the opponent's knowledge, laws, and cultivation techniques existed within the universe, all their fundamental principles and weaknesses would be clearly revealed.

"Emperor Qi's learning ability fundamentally stemmed from a powerful 'Dao Heart'-like comprehension speed towards the entire universe, allowing him to quickly discern an opponent's bloodline, cultivation techniques, and see through them...." Xu Zhi's heart was calm. "Although I cannot learn something and immediately apply it, my knowledge reserves are already high enough."

This was the true horror of the Grand Universe cultivation method—it was a state of mind. My body is the universe, my heart is the heart of heaven!

*Crack!*

Xu Zhi took a step.

A colossal surge of aura, overwhelming like mountains and seas, rushed forth, almost solidifying.

"You cannot stop me. I will beat you to death."

He moved through the maze like a fish in the cosmos, swimming and leaping swiftly, his movements growing faster and faster, becoming increasingly familiar with the maze's structure.

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's expression changed; she felt a bone-chilling coldness. From that moment, for the first time, she truly sensed the strong threat of death.

"If this continues, he might become able to ignore interference, ascertain the precise coordinates of the entire space-time maze, analyze its location, and perform spatial jumps."

Navigating the maze did not alarm her. What she feared was spatial jumping.

Melville's Myriad Domain Maze Empire was entirely different from other ancient civilizations. The Abyssal Blue Divine Realm and the Fallen Civilization primarily lived hidden within sub-spaces. However, they were currently the only known high-energy world civilization that did not reside in sub-spaces but rather in the real universe. Simultaneously, their central domain, encompassing billions of lands, folded countless dimensions of space-time. She was like a mythical dynasty wearing a space-time pleated skirt. And this dynasty was countless times vaster than the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm, an alliance composed of tens of thousands of transcendent civilizations!

This was Melville, the God of Eternal Space-Time. She was known as the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother, the supreme god of space-time laws, the ultimate terror of this space-time galaxy, the legendary strongest being! Indeed, everyone thought she had fallen, or that she had never existed in ancient times. Countless people found no trace of her, yet they were unaware that their stellar civilization domains, truly immense, were folded onto Melville's body, forming her skirt. Hidden within inches.

In Melville's eyes, no one could find the location of her civilization, neither in the past nor the future. No one had ever threatened her space-time empire. Rivers of space separated it from the outside, forming a perfect moat, allowing them to perpetually exist within the maze. Normally, those mythical realms would only emerge from the maze during battles to trap enemies. Even if Renimans had been incredibly fast back then, he couldn't fly out even one percent of its extent before being killed.

In this world, no one had ever truly approached her true form. But now, she felt threatened because if one could understand the folded structure of the maze and locate her coordinates, they could perform spatial jumps within the maze. No matter how vast the distance, it would not prevent the opponent's arrival.

"Heh... are they mere common rabble?"

In the real world, within a beautiful, fairy-tale-like room, Melville wore an enormous, Gothic white translucent long dress, its lengthy skirt almost completely covering the center of the room. She sat on a chair, looking down at her long skirt. This beautiful starry long dress, which had taken millions of years to create, faintly showed a black-robed young man striding forth from a corner of its translucent, folded wrinkles. Her expression was cold. She extended a slender fingertip and gently smoothed a wrinkle on the long skirt.

"I, who have suppressed and killed Ultimates, who wear space-time stellar domains as my skirt and clothes, freely traversing galaxies and lands, am I also considered... weak?"

Undeniably, the Iron-Based Great Dao bloodline offered her almost no enhancement. Against others, she might hide in space to ambush, but the opponent's powerful physique made her dare not approach him closely. Only the Elemental bloodline had some use. It could serve as a means of long-range attack, but it had long lost the Elemental bloodline's core strengths: infinite endurance and immunity to physical damage.

She chuckled: "My three bloodlines truly don't match. Even inheriting their Great Dao bloodlines, I don't possess their power. My strength lies in trapping and exhausting opponents to death, but that's no longer viable here...." Melville now felt a complete sense of difficulty. "I can only use *that* move now. Let me show you my true capabilities!"

Her expression stern, she sat on the chair, took out a translucent long needle, and delicately began to mend and thread the entire pleated long skirt.

"Sewing galaxies, threading lands, interweaving space-time." Her fingers were slender and gentle. The needle, connected to an inexplicable transparent thread, began to stitch.

The sky vibrated. The entire maze seemed to be shifting, stars turning and constellations changing.

"Many of the previously charted maze routes are changing...."

Xu Zhi looked up, frowning. "I can't tell north from south again.... But this is just delaying time... yet my physical endurance feels very precarious."

He appeared dominant, with formidable energy levels, seemingly crushing his opponent with absolute advantage. In reality, his energy level was far from that strong. Just like Caroline and Emperor Qi before him, his Nine Revolutions Profound Art was still at the Eighth-Order God stage; he hadn't had time to elevate it to the Ninth Order, let alone the Tenth-Order Ultimate stage he was at now. The Nine Revolutions Profound Art was two realms behind. In his original vast land, living beings occupied only 0.0001 of the space; the rest was barren, undeveloped land. Such a ratio simply couldn't provide him with powerful physical recovery capabilities!

At this moment, his energy level seemed immense, but what was being consumed was not the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, but rather the death energy feedback from the Insecta Queen. However, the death feedback energy from the Insecta Queen was also running low! After all, he had just broken through to the Tenth-Order Ultimate, which had already consumed a large amount of resources.

The void vibrated. One by one, extremely black vortices slowly descended, profoundly deep. A cold voice came from the void, "These are the most terrifying natural celestial bodies I have found in the universe so far: several colossal, dense black holes. Their size is immense, and even the one with the lowest central density is ten trillion times denser than an ordinary sun."

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's voice was clear and cold; this was her incredibly powerful trump card. "The Iron-Based lifeforms, upon reaching the Tenth Order, can compress matter to a density surpassing neutron stars, forming black holes. These black holes were pulled here using their Great Dao bloodline."

"For a great Dao-Prover, no natural celestial law can affect them directly. Only laws twisted by a Dao-Prover can cause harm to another Dao-Prover.... However, to resist such terrifying natural celestial bodies, one must constantly distort laws, which highly depletes physical energy. How long can you last?"

"You will only be worn down to death! You will fall in despair and agony!" Her voice was sharp and cold, certain of victory. No one could resist this trump card, which she had never used before.

The maze was surrounded by pulled-in black holes. Although the Iron-Based lifeform bloodline had little significance for her in direct combat, her ingenuity at this level still found the most suitable way to combine bloodlines: pulling black holes into the maze. The nature of black holes was highly unique. They were almost impossible to destroy; any energy would be absorbed, and only if the injected energy exceeded their capacity would a massive explosion occur. But for a Dao-Prover, no one would expend enormous physical energy to do so; they would only try to move away from such celestial bodies. Here, however, escape was impossible! Pampas's vortices were artificial. But these vortices, the most powerful celestial bodies in the universe, had always existed.

"This person truly pushes this exhausting, nauseating method of trapping and killing to its limit." Xu Zhi remained expressionless, looking at the surrounding rotating black holes, which were madly pulling at all matter of his body. Strength in combat didn't equate to invincibility. The Nine Revolutions Profound Art wasn't strong in direct combat, but its terrifying aspect was its strong recovery power. The transcendent bloodlines of the Iron-Based and Elemental races were strong in combat, but if the opponent didn't engage in direct combat, they would still be worn down to death from a distance. The various strange transcendent bloodlines in the universe could not be measured by common sense regarding their combat power.

"This is why I was reluctant to act. Because I just broke through, and the Nine Revolutions Profound Art's realm hasn't caught up, it's quite troublesome." Xu Zhi's expression was grim. "If it were cultivated to grand completion, even without forming a Great Dao bloodline... its true combat power wouldn't be weaker than a Great Dao bloodline.... With recovery comparable to a thousand lives and infinite physical energy, an opponent with little attack power like this couldn't even scratch me. I could already walk unhindered."

But at this critical juncture, Xu Zhi's Nine Revolutions Profound Art was not sufficient! Although he felt that with the Three Pillar Gods' massive absorption, the civilizations of over four thousand Dao-Provers were constantly undergoing birth, aging, sickness, and death, providing rapid feedback. With his current normal energy consumption in battle, the black holes simply couldn't wear him down to death. After all, with his understanding of the laws of gravity, the black holes' consumption of his energy was far, far less than imagined. The natural cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death feedback from the Insecta race could still perfectly replenish it, with plenty left over.

"The black holes interfere with me, and she's frantically altering the maze's structure, affecting my analysis. It would take at least half a year to fully comprehend this maze's structure... and kill her." Xu Zhi frowned.

Half a year was too long. He had only spent one year cultivating to this point. Now he would be trapped for half a year before he could break out? By then, he would almost be twenty-seven years old! This was frustrating.

A sharp, cold voice echoed from the sky, "In ancient times, that being from the Elemental Civilization, who claimed infinite energy, could only resist for eighteen days—though his eighteen days were actually eighteen hundred years. Dying after such a long time indeed lives up to his name.... What about you? Can you last a thousand years before perishing?"

A thousand years was an incredibly long time. The black holes were like a world-destroying millstone, frantically depleting stamina through resistance. Being able to endure for a thousand years was already an incredibly astonishing feat!

Xu Zhi's expression remained calm. He was still deep in thought, frowning. The opponent's methods were terrifying, and her trapping techniques were ingenious. Even he had to admit that the current situation was indeed very tricky.

"Heh? Are you finally silent? Do you feel fear now?" Melville couldn't help but say in a low voice, looking at the silent young man in black.

A voice came from the void: "This is my strongest trump card. You should be content to have witnessed it. How could I not realize that the only beings who cannot be trapped in my space maze, the only ones who might escape, are those proficient in space laws.... An opponent proficient in space laws can ignore vast spatial distances and perform jumps... So, over countless years, I searched for a way to resolve this weakness, a method to interfere with spatial jumps. Although the results weren't perfect, I did find a way: black holes. Black holes can collapse the surrounding space-time, drastically reducing the efficiency with which you calculate spatial coordinates and the surrounding spatial structure, thereby plugging the last vulnerability."

"Therefore, you should know that I am invincible. No one can approach me. I will trap and kill all living beings."

A scene appeared. It was the outside world, the landscape of the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm.

"Witness this scene. I will suppress you here, and then I will kill the Stone Man Disk and the group from the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm..... I don't know who you claim your master is... but I will kill your so-called new master of this land to prove that everything you've said is a lie!"

"If it's not a lie, then let your master act and suppress me?" she said icily.

Nine heads hovered in the air, their eyes, filled with the mercilessness of the Great Dao, stared down.

Xu Zhi was silent for a moment, then, after a while, he said, "In this battle, you can only imprison me for five thousand years. After that, I will be able to kill you. But a battle lasting five thousand years is too long. It seems that without special means and paying a certain price, I cannot suppress and kill you. Don't think that you are the only one with remote capabilities."

Xu Zhi's expression hardened. He directly excised the bloodline gene of Elemental True Qi from his body. His bloodline suffered damage. Immediately, his face turned pale, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood. The next second, he directly re-infused the Blood of Immortality. A golden, glowing long strip appeared in his hand, which quickly transformed into a radiant golden imperial crown. Xu Zhi immediately placed this artifact on his head, as if wearing an imperial crown. An ancient emperor, standing tall and majestic, manifested, silently sensing some ancient deity from a distant space-time.

"I traverse through eternity, severing all ancient taboos."

Under the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's horrified and fiery gaze, the Emperor slowly uttered a sentence: "I curse you with the Five Decays of Heaven and Man: your life shall age, and your Great Dao shall wither."

"I curse you with frequent signs of decay, defiling water upon your body, and complete filth."

In a flash, within the room, the long-skirted maiden revealed an expression of great horror, her heart trembling. Her life was rapidly aging, and she began to become decrepit. Her pores exuded sweat, decaying relentlessly, emitting a rotting, decaying aura of the Great Dao.
