Chapter 1427: The Emperor's Thoughts

With a whoosh, nine specially prepared bloodline universes intertwined and contracted, rapidly circling the singularity. Like a swirling disc, they streamed into Emperor Zi's abdomen.

Clang! Clang! The crisp, true sound of the Grand Dao echoed, as if something was shattering or wind chimes were colliding. This overture of the universe seemed to coalesce into a single, unified form.

Each true sound of the universe was merely the rise and fall of a heartbeat.

"Tu Xin, you always overthink things. This is my true trump card," Emperor Zi said, slowly floating in the chaos with his arms outstretched.

His skin still glowed with a faint, chaotic white-gold hue, as if countless energies and matters were intertwined, carrying the universe's most primal sense of vast sanctity and purity.

In this body, energy and matter could no longer be differentiated; the very substance composing him was no longer made of elements like carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen.

A magnificent white-gold aura surged directly into the heavens.

All living beings near the Chaos Sea trembled violently, as if some ultimate, transcendent cosmic being had been born. They couldn't help but gaze up in awe.

Tu Xin gazed into the distance, as if witnessing the very moment of creation.

"Half an Eleventh Order..." His expression suddenly became calm. Tracing back 14 billion years into the universe's past, he saw the era of the youngest universe's birth. "The origin of the universe..."

"A singularity?!"

Boom!!!

He took a soft step forward.

Countless colorful bodily substances also converged, slowly transforming into a unique structure.

"You've finally revealed your true form."

Tu Xin stood his ground, ancient Dao rhythms interwoven throughout his body. He seemed like the sole true god throughout the history of the universe, able to see through past and future.

Two terrifying figures stood in remote confrontation, mirroring each other.

"Emperor Zi has mastered the power of the singularity... This state, which allows him to wield the singularity, is already the legendary Eleventh Order."

Everyone watching this scene felt their minds go blank, consumed by endless terror and trembling that permeated their entire bodies.

The singularity in Emperor Zi's abdomen had already proven this.

But the gate to the Eleventh Order had not yet opened, and the era had not arrived. How could he possibly become Eleventh Order in such an incomplete era?

It was nothing short of a miracle!

This was Emperor Zi's miraculous martial art.

"Using the singularity as a power core... there's no mistake. Wielding this power, this will be a martial art of the Eleventh Order." Further away, almost no one spoke, breathlessly watching the scene with rapt attention. The atmosphere grew incredibly subdued, falling into a profound silence.

At the same time, an indescribable excitement began to fill their entire bodies. With such immense power, he could surely win!

No wonder Tu Xin was so terrified.

An Eleventh Order fighting a Tenth Order was an absolute crushing blow!

The battle in the fourth arena, featuring this miraculous martial art, utterly thrilled them.

Rong Cheng and Zhi Ji stood together, gazing at Emperor Zi's pervasive, hazy body, suffused with white-gold from the singularity. "This is the universe's ultimate life level, the Eleventh Order. Such beings are called the Origin of the Grand Dao, great eagles overlooking cosmic epochs, immortal and indestructible. Emperor Zi has actually reached this level!"

"But the realm has not yet arrived, and the universe is incomplete; the Eleventh Order era has not begun. How could he possibly break through?" Kuang Tu tilted his head, his expression filled with longing, as he gazed at the boundless power of the ultimate dimension, unable to suppress the shock in his heart.

This was the power of the Origin.

It had divided all the universe's rules and systems, vast as a boundless sea. A colossal, endless sense of immensity surged forth, as if all systems were its children.

All systems and rules were "false paths," decaying with the changing eras. Only the Origin was the "true path," for it had evolved everything.

Orders One to Ten were all "false paths" within the universe; only the Eleventh Order represented eternal transcendence.

"So, a great eagle transcending the universe is truly possible!!!" Renard watched all this in shock; it revealed the true end of the universe to him. This was enough to excite him—it was the realm every strong cultivator dreamed of, now laid bare before his eyes. The sense of ecstasy and fascination was indescribable.

"No, this isn't mastering a true singularity! That's an incomplete singularity, an artificial one created from bloodlines."

At this moment, Rong Cheng, standing nearby, looked seriously at Emperor Zi's abdomen, knowing it was incomplete. "And even an incomplete singularity is not a power that can be truly mastered at this time..."

"Then why?" a player quickly asked.

Rong Cheng narrowed his eyes, utterly shocked. "He is indirectly using the singularity, converting its power for his use... Unable to directly employ the singularity's power, he can only be considered half an Eleventh Order, cleverly managing to reach that realm."

"Indirectly? Converting the singularity's power for use?" Someone nearby asked, puzzled.

"Yes, he appears to have placed the singularity within his body, but he isn't actually using its power."

Zhi Ji also discerned it, her gaze fixed. "Instead, he's using the singularity's power to pressurize and collapse the nine surrounding universes, drawing them into his body to become his power core."

Many were confused. Was the singularity merely for show?

How then could it be called a singularity power core?

The power being used clearly came from those nine bloodline universes.

"So-called power doesn't necessarily mean directly siphoning energy from the other party," Rong Cheng shook his head, softly explaining. "The singularity also releases power—compressive power... It's responsible for compressing the 'kinetic energy' of the nine universes, shrinking them to the size of grains of rice, much like compressing a spring to store energy."

"Then, the nine bloodline universes transmit this compressed spring-like force, combined with their own cosmic power, to supply Emperor Zi."

Everyone finally understood.

This was akin to the supercharging technology in an internal combustion engine.

The singularity was responsible for pressurization, providing a high-temperature, high-pressure environment, while the nine universes inside provided fuel energy for combustion.

It was a miraculous martial art, truly a work of divine craftsmanship!

"It's transformed and transmitted through the Nine Revolutions Bloodline Universe as a medium."

Rong Cheng said coldly, "This is the principle of this cultivation technique. Although it sounds simple, it's unimaginably difficult to actually implement."

Everyone was well aware of this.

How incredibly difficult was it to indirectly borrow the power of a singularity?

To partially collapse one's heart into an ultra-miniature singularity, "beating" rhythmically like a heart—such a delicate and intricate operation was beyond description, even by art.

One must possess an extremely profound understanding of singularities to achieve this.

This meant he already possessed sufficient Eleventh Order knowledge, and as soon as the era arrived, he could break through to this realm at any moment.

Tu Xin and Emperor Zi were simply monsters among monsters!

Their intelligence far surpassed all limits, enabling them to accomplish such unbelievable feats.

"Sure enough, Emperor Zi has been planning all of this." In the distance, Akina Speed sighed, saying with immense admiration, "We should have realized it earlier."

"Long ago, he specially created nine bloodline universes, becoming the nine Heavenly Daos within them."

"Just now, he again used the nine universes to try to encircle that singularity. This was clearly an attempt to align the singularity with the nine universes, conducting a final exploration. Now that it has fully formed, this Nine Revolutions Profound Art has emerged, perfectly encircling its surroundings."

Akina Speed's voice was low as he looked into the distance.

In reality, Akina Speed's analysis this time was indeed correct, as Xu Zhi had thought the same way and had been researching this new martial art step by step.

From beginning to end, Xu Zhi only had this straightforward approach: to respond with his miraculous martial art.

Akina Speed's analysis on this point was correct, but soon, he added other speculations, revealing a profoundly far-reaching insight.

"Emperor Zi's schemes are truly interconnected."

Instead, Akina Speed began to elaborate, adding his own embellishments and continuing to analyze based on Tu Xin's words:

"As of now, according to Tu Xin's analysis, Emperor Zi has a total of three layers of deadly traps, demonstrating immense caution! He revealed his trump cards step by step. Tu Xin is indeed formidable; only after the first and second layers were broken did Emperor Zi bring out this third deadly trap! It's all incredibly systematic!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it was indeed the case.

"But do you think this is truly coincidental?" Akina Speed asked. "If this is all you've seen, then you've only reached the second layer."

Was there an even deeper layer?

At this moment, Zhi Ji, Rong Cheng, Kuang Tu, and others nearby immediately grew curious.

Knowing that Akina Speed was very familiar with Emperor Zi, they couldn't help but ask, "Then..."

"Hmph."

Akina Speed glanced at the nearby Immortal Saints, knowing that their analytical insights were countless times superior to his own, but their understanding of Emperor Zi's personality was far inferior to his.

Akina Speed said coolly, "Emperor Zi's character appears lighthearted and leisurely, yet secretly, he is incredibly domineering!"

"Long ago, in the old days, when I became a god and there were no other gods in the world... he once monopolized entire eras, becoming a supreme taboo! Yet, he never truly suppressed those young prodigies."

Akina Speed spoke eloquently,

"He is too proud, and too lonely. This is the solitude of being unrivaled in the world, possessing talent that surpasses any in history... So, he intentionally guided the geniuses of each era, allowing them to grow strong, to continuously break through their own limits, eventually possessing the courage to fight him, and ultimately defeat him!"

"In the past, Lord Youshan, Emperor Yun, Jue Wushen... weren't these ancient beings all peerless figures of their respective eras?"

"If Emperor Zi hadn't tolerated them, could they have risen?"

"Emperor Zi even deliberately cultivated them, allowing them to grow to that extent! Ultimately, they leaped forth, challenging the final immortal path, going to battle against the supreme Emperor Zi."

Those nearby, upon hearing this story, couldn't help but be captivated, sensing Emperor Zi's dominance and imperiousness, an indescribable arrogance.

Lord Youshan, Emperor Yun, and these other beings were indeed deliberately cultivated and intentionally ignored, allowed to develop freely. If there had been any intention to, they would have been eliminated in their nascent stages.

"Are you saying..." Rong Cheng suddenly exclaimed.

"Yes!"

Akina Speed turned his head, looking at the two figures confronting each other from afar, an overwhelming aura sweeping over him. He said grimly, "Haven't you noticed? Emperor Zi could have brought out this martial art from the very beginning and crushed his opponent, so why did he hold back?"

Everyone trembled violently.

If he had brought it out directly at the beginning, Tu Xin would surely have died!

Because Tu Xin, at first, didn't understand singularities at all, and didn't even possess such methods. Instead, it was a gradual process...

And Emperor Zi's initial statement that he hadn't perfected it was probably a lie, a deliberate act of holding back!

"Why did he deliberately allow his opponent to understand the singularity, gradually deepening the challenge, and enabling Tu Xin to continuously break through those two impasses, undergoing two self-breakthroughs?"

Akina Speed looked into the distance and uttered a sentence that shocked everyone:

"Based on Emperor Zi's personality and his past taboo deeds, you should have already realized that he was deliberately guiding Tu Xin, helping him to understand and comprehend the singularity..."

"Ultimately, when Tu Xin could understand his own miraculous martial art, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, only then did Emperor Zi truly make his move, unleashing his Nine Revolutions Profound Art, to utterly crush his opponent at the peak of their historical strength!"

The surrounding Immortal Saints were instantly greatly alarmed.
