Chapter 1121: Perfect Creature

She felt herself aging rapidly.

Tenth-tier Ultimates naturally possess a lifespan.

Their longevity is determined by how long they resist the erosion of the entire universe; the longer they resist, the more enduring their lifespan.

They are like primordial deities.

As Ultimate beings who mastered and created parts of the Heavenly Dao's laws, they would, over time, gradually lose their self-awareness and be assimilated into the Great Dao.

She, currently, felt her life burning and accelerating, like violently boiling water, becoming incredibly powerful yet rapidly aging.

Her lifespan was already short, and she had been avoiding the erosion of the cosmic rules, but now she felt herself being assimilated at an alarming rate.

"What kind of evil and malicious bloodline is that!?" Her voice already showing signs of age, she asked the black-clad young man who was cursing her from a distance.

"A bloodline that curses lives," Xu Zhi replied calmly.

This was "Life Overclocking," a discovery by Medusa.

It was this bloodline that allowed Xu Zhi to accelerate his cultivation to such a degree. Not only could he empower himself, but he could also empower others from a distance.

Di Zun said calmly, "You're not the only one with such long-range combat abilities. I didn't expect you to be hiding such minor trump cards; I truly underestimated you."

"Such an evil bloodline!"

Melville was thoroughly unsettled.

The opponent's power was terrifyingly profound. Not only did he possess the five heaven-defying bloodlines, but he also had other bloodline abilities. She wondered how many transcendent bloodlines he had hidden away, speculating if he could simply swap out one heaven-defying bloodline for another if it wasn't suitable for the current battle.

Each one of these heaven-defying bloodlines made her eyes burn with envy.

"Evil? Is this what you call evil?" Xu Zhi shook his head. If it weren't absolutely necessary, he would never use this mutually destructive bloodline, as it also burned his own lifespan.

He had integrated the Blood of Immortality precisely to counteract the side effects of aging, but this also meant he would soon fall into a deep slumber. How deadly would it be to fall asleep in the middle of a battle?

However, Xu Zhi was confident that his opponent could not harm him, which is why he chose this approach.

This was an extremely radical combat method; who else could possibly use it?

"Moreover, you call this an evil and malicious bloodline?" Xu Zhi shook his head and sighed. The Stone Disc from the Abyssal Blue race, with its Cloud Star Dao Fruit, was far more malicious!

It directly pried open others' bloodlines and modified their Great Dao bloodlines!

This was irreversible damage to their Great Dao!

According to the future predicted by the Stone Disc, the Stone Disc had clearly relied on freezing time, slowly freezing the opponent's consciousness, and its stored energy levels to fight a prolonged battle. It eventually got close to the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother and engaged her in a bloody battle. Although it ultimately lost, it managed to pry open her Great Dao bloodline, severely weakening her.

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother gasped for breath, her body reeking of sweat, and foul pus oozing from her pores. It was the stench of decay.

Many aging Tenth-tier Ultimates, in their later years, would develop various mysterious and ancient diseases: spots appearing all over their bodies, corrosion, aging, and coughing—all manifestations of being assimilated.

"I can't let this continue, but..." At that moment, the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's heart turned cold; she now considered this young man a truly lethal opponent.

A moment later, the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother felt her entire body relax, noticing that the decaying and aging sensation had ceased. She was startled, wondering why her opponent had stopped cursing her.

She looked again and saw that the being had closed his eyes and fallen asleep. She was momentarily stunned; how could such a great existence possibly sleep, especially at such a critical juncture?

After a few moments of thought, she smiled faintly and said, "So that's it. He's relying on the Blood of Immortality to burn his lifespan against mine. Otherwise, without a Great Dao bloodline, how could he possibly compete with me in terms of longevity? But his Blood of Immortality has a side effect: it forces him into slumber!"

She was incredibly clever, instantly grasping the crucial point.

She immediately had the urge to personally descend and strike him down, but she hesitated instantly. "It might be a trick! He could be feigning death to lure me closer. If he's truly asleep, I can simply attack him from a distance!"

She unleashed numerous elemental Dao techniques, bombarding him across vast spatial distances.

But the next second, they were rapidly absorbed and engulfed by his body.

"He has such terrifying abilities even while asleep?"

Grititing her teeth, she watched his sleeping form and began pacing back and forth. "Damn it! He's a contingency of that Elemental Civilization, skilled in elemental arts. I'm completely suppressed. He's too familiar with the energy attacks of the Elemental race; I can't harm him at all!"

She then summoned layers of black holes to grind down his body, but they couldn't wear him down in the slightest.

Her opponent was also very familiar with the power laws of the Iron-Based race.

As she looked on from afar, preparing to devise another plan, she saw Di Zun had actually woken up, calmly sitting upright. Under the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's horrified gaze, he continued to chant the malevolent curse as if nothing had happened.

"I curse you with the Five Decrepitudes of Heaven and Man, your life to wither, your Great Dao to decay."

"I curse you to frequently manifest the signs of old age, with foul fluids clinging to your body, and your entire being covered in filth."

"You!?"

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's eyes widened.

That intense sensation of life overclocking struck her again.

The Nine-Headed Ancient Mother was afflicted with the Five Decrepitudes, profusely sweating, her body constantly reeking. The woman, dressed in a vast starry pleated gown, sat gasping on her chair, appearing like a decrepit ninety-year-old who hadn't eaten for days, exuding the stench of someone on their deathbed.

"I'll take a few more naps and short rests, and then I'll slay this ancient forbidden being. Afterward, I'll report back to my master."

The next second, Di Zun closed his eyes once more, calmly lay back down, and spoke faintly.

Asleep again? He's actually sleeping again? Watching this scene, Melville's mind reeled with fury, her composure completely shattered! Her opponent clearly didn't take her seriously. In front of such a terrifying Ultimate opponent, he just lay on the ground, defenselessly sleeping? Allowing her to attack him? What an utter humiliation!

At the same time, an unprecedented, powerful thought emerged:

"Whose orders is he truly following? He intends to sleep and wake repeatedly, then curse me to death bit by bit!"

Gazing at the slumbering Di Zun, she now experienced a profound sense of fear she had never felt before.

It was the feeling of her imminent demise.

She had always used this method to slowly wear down her opponents, inch by inch. But now, her opponent was doing the same to her, inch by inch!

And she was helpless.

"He counters me too perfectly!"

"My offensive bloodlines—Iron-Based and Elemental—are completely ineffective against him!"

She felt like spitting blood from frustration; she was truly both anxious and terrified.

It was as if her opponent had left secret passages in both of her bloodlines, rendering them completely ineffective against him.

This made her genuinely suspect whether the two civilizations she had personally defeated back then had deliberately fallen, allowing her to destroy them. Perhaps it was all a grand conspiracy, and she herself had merely been pushed to the forefront as the ruler of this land.

Her opponent had directly left two major hidden weaknesses in her through the two Great Dao bloodlines. That's why this so-called disciple named "Di Zun," despite his weak realm, could still suppress and even kill her!

The more she thought, the more uneasy she became, sensing a great terror lurking in the depths of the mist. She looked at Di Zun. "My bloodlines have no offensive effect on him. If this continues, I'm certainly doomed.... While he's asleep, I must attack him directly, not from a distance, but physically!"

The next second, she fully descended.

Gazing at the slumbering young man in the black emperor's robe, she ferociously unleashed a punch using the Iron-Based race's combat technique.

A metallic clang echoed.

There was a slight tremor, but no reaction.

She immediately discovered that his body's density was identical to that of the Iron-Based lifeforms, and even its properties were similar. She couldn't dismantle his density; it had no effect whatsoever.

She fell into complete silence, then suddenly summoned powerful beings and major entities from the Great Realm of Transcendent Civilization Alliances.

Although her ancient civilization didn't actively expand, it was much larger than the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm and the Fallen Civilization combined.

"Great Supreme God, you want us to find a way to defeat the opponent?"

"Can we even interfere with a being of this level?"

"The opponent is asleep, letting us attack him?"

The various civilizations listened to this scene with astonishment, then immediately grew excited.

A Tenth-tier Ultimate!

That was a supreme existence standing at the very end of the Great Dao of the universe!

Before, they had no chance to engage in battle, not even to get close. And now, they were being told to attack him?

"Great Ancient Mother God of Time and Space, I obey your command!"

"Please await our victory report!"

The beings from various civilizations launched their attacks, some even bringing their entire weak tenth-tier high-dimensional civilizations into the fray.

First came the technological civilizations with their mechanical spacecraft.

They unleashed a frantic bombardment. Countless particle streams and massive energy cannons capable of destroying stars rained down, yet they seemed to be absorbed by the opponent's body.

"His body possesses energy-absorbing properties!"

"Does that mean most energy attacks are completely ineffective?"

Looking out from the spacecraft cockpits, the powerful weak tenth-tier beings felt a surge of fear.

"We'll enter his body through his ears, mouth, any opening, and cause destruction from within!"

But they searched all around.

They found that his eyes, nose, and every other feature were merely superficial; he was a perfect being with no orifices.

"Inside! We'll spatial warp directly into his interior!"

"Yes, warp into his organs, into his blood vessels, to destroy the inside of his body!"

They attempted to warp again, only to discover that his body had a solid structure, perfectly spherical and uniform internally, composed entirely of special ceramic cells identical to his exterior.

He was like a complete ceramic doll, not at all like a living being.

"He has no biological weaknesses?"

"Impossible! No organs, no blood vessels, no digestive system—is he even a living creature?"

"No! This is a life structure similar to Iron-Based lifeforms!"

"But does such a lifeform even have a weakness?"

They could barely believe their eyes, that such a creature existed in the world. Facing this body, they felt utterly helpless.
