Chapter 1449: You Are Being Unreasonable

The Insect Race Matriarch’s pupils suddenly dilated.

For someone at her level, their combat talent could be described as the biological limit.

How could she not know the direction of the future battle?

She had already passed her period of ultra-high-speed burst, and even rampant evolutionary iteration had its limits. She had already undergone two qualitative biological transformations, which was her maximum. Yet, her opponent was still a step above her.

“Is this the forbidden existence from the ancient prehistoric universe?”

The Insect Race Matriarch’s expression shifted slightly, feeling complete despair. “What’s truly powerful isn’t his prehistoric trump cards or accumulated strength, but the person himself. He grows stronger with every challenge, possessing a youthful spirit that thrives in adversity...”

Xu Zhi’s expression, however, remained exceptionally calm.

How could his opponent be stronger than him?

His opponent’s knowledge originated solely from the biological convergence within the Insect Race Matriarch’s nest.

Whereas his own knowledge came from the Insect Race Mother Nest of all heavens and myriad worlds.

They were now just one of the branches he encompassed. The stronger they became, the stronger he naturally became, always maintaining a significant lead over them.

As Xu Zhi had said:

They no longer stood a chance.

Furthermore, their chances of victory were rapidly diminishing with Xu Zhi’s continuous attacks. They were being severely wounded, and their flesh and blood were accelerating their transformation into the substance for his Grand Universe cultivation method.

Boom!!

Di Zun furiously swung his fists.

“They are still being infected and transformed... Those Insect Race Matriarchs are essentially already my people, and that individual’s assimilation is also complete. The remaining beings, though not Insect Race and difficult to deal with when merged, are being permeated now that I have this Insect Race medium.”

For ordinary races, Xu Zhi could never have achieved this!

But his opponents happened to be the Insect Race...

He was still the contemporary Insect Race Matriarch, holding core authority, and the central hub of the transformed, completely new Insect Race authority!

The Grand Universe cultivation method was a sinister martial art specifically designed to infect the entire universe using the new Insect Race.

Bang bang bang!!

The particle storm continuously disintegrated. The Insect Race Matriarch’s vitality was being obliterated layer by layer, yet her life force remained incredibly tenacious. She had secretly learned the New Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, giving her terrifying recovery abilities.

“Still not surrendering?”

Di Zun, with his hands clasped behind his back, looked down at her. “Relying on external objects is ultimately a heterodox path. Developing one’s own potential, like me, and relying on one’s own strength, that is the true way!”

The Insect Race Matriarch was drenched in blood, yet she continued to press forward, her eyes blazing red, remaining silent.

Xu Zhi considered himself honest and was not lying.

He truly relied on himself from beginning to end.

Because all beings, all heavens, and myriad worlds were part of his body. In the future, even the entire universe would be his body.

When he said he relied entirely on his own efforts, he was indeed being straightforward and not a single word was false.

Thump-thump-thump.

His footsteps were steady and stirred the heart.

Di Zun approached the Insect Race Matriarch step by step, looking down at her broken, dying form with an indifferent expression.

“So that’s it. You refuse to surrender, stubbornly silent. Do you wish to experience just how weak and helpless you truly are?”

“Weaklings who rely on external objects are truly pathetic!”

“Or perhaps you wish to emulate me, to struggle before death and achieve a leap-like breakthrough?”

Di Zun strode forward, his eyes radiating brilliant golden light. Slowly, with one hand, he effortlessly seized the Insect Race Matriarch’s neck, raising her high above his head. He lifted his gaze to meet hers and said, “If that’s the case, if you want pressure, I’ll give it to you...”

“If you want death, I can give that to you too—”

Snap!

Di Zun slowly raised both arms, cultivating an unprecedented terrifying power. A sphere of light rapidly expanded and collapsed, resembling a miniature creation of a galaxy.

“This is my strongest power, a power capable of killing you, if you can survive it...”

Di Zun violently crushed her neck, and her entire being dissolved into smoke.

“Go.”

Di Zun pointed high, and the colossal, vast singularity light sphere from his fingertip shot towards the wisp of smoke.

“No breakthrough means death!!”

The entire land was violently enveloped in a blinding white expanse.

It was as if everything had vanished—no sound, no explosion, no light or shadow... yet it profoundly shocked everyone’s hearts, an awe-inspiring spectacle of ultimate beauty emerging within them.

“Truly beautiful.”

This thought spontaneously arose in everyone’s minds.

It was the universe’s most brilliant primal creation, a genesis technique that came closest to the singularity, a terrifying skill that was almost akin to the Dao itself.

This single move alone surpassed everyone’s imagination.

Was this truly the limit of biological power?

Even for an Eleventh-tier being, this was clearly no ordinary Eleventh-tier power. The precise mastery of singularities displayed was beyond miraculous, reaching an unimaginable pinnacle.

The Insect Race Matriarch was swiftly shattered. Her entire being seemed to have been completely obliterated, every particle of matter erased, vanishing from the universe.

Dead?

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the scene.

The ultimate resistance of the ancient Bloodline Era’s cosmic existence—this ultimate life form—was actually defeated by Di Zun alone?

How could this be possible?

That was an individual life form!

An individual life form actually defeated the combined might of hundreds of thousands of genetic positions and aggregated lives composed of heroes and prominent figures from across cosmic history. Such an absurd feat was inconceivable even in dreams.

Yet, it had actually happened.

At this moment, everyone’s minds went blank from what they witnessed.

Xu Zhi, however, maintained a serene expression as he gazed into the void.

That strike was indeed his strongest, with no reservations, but he still didn’t believe those beings would die. To think such a strike could kill them would be to utterly underestimate the most powerful monsters in the history of this universe.

One must remember that even during the War of the Longevity Sages, the Sages of the three highest rules could only defeat, but not kill, their opponents...

Back then, the victors could only board the Great Ship of Longevity and sail into the future, exiling the two to the past space-time of the universe, allowing time to slowly claim their lives.

From this, one could grasp the terrifying extent of their mastery over rules!

Moreover, the beings before him were the aggregated entities of the three highest cosmic rules. As long as the Bloodline Era of the universe had not passed, they remained the protagonists of this era; no one could truly kill them.

“Only time and the great tide of events can kill these three protagonists of the era.”

Thump-thump-thump.

At that moment, a voice resonated from afar.

“This is the power of the Bloodline Era’s hierarchy, the rigid stratification of the rule pyramid.”

Tu Xin slowly emerged. “They monopolized everything, wielding eternal supremacy through their bloodlines, becoming Sages who controlled the Heavenly Dao. Even their descendants, the Sage families, continued for generations, constantly managing the Heavenly Dao, reigning over the mortal realm as aloof gods—corrupt yet autocratic.”

Di Zun turned around and looked at him.

“The Insect Race is an example,” Tu Xin said softly. “Generations of their successors were highly exalted, each controlling the loopholes in the universe’s life rules. Look at how many Sages throughout history were from their kind. It’s hard for commoners to rise to prominence. Such a corrupt ancient cosmic era should be renewed.”

“Oh?”

Di Zun cast a curious glance at Tu Xin.

His aura condensed into a ball, unexpectedly giving Xu Zhi an unfathomable feeling.

The protagonists of the Cosmic Era were the true adversaries compared to the old bloodline life system of the past. The Eleventh-tier realm was born for their martial path; they were the cosmic orthodoxy!

“The times are advancing, the universe is completing itself, and it’s also becoming fairer.”

Tu Xin chuckled, “The Heavenly Dao rules of those Sages will eventually return to the universe, and they will no longer be able to manipulate this universe as their private backyard... In the new era, beings will have no bloodline distinctions; everyone will be born equal, without a caste system or noble and lowly bloodlines. Everything will be obtained through one’s own efforts in cultivating martial arts...”

“That truly sounds like a beautiful world,” Di Zun commented, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

This was indeed a happy, relatively fair, and complete mature era. The universe was indeed improving step by step in the unseen, becoming more perfect.

“Unfortunately, there are always those who want to destroy this beauty,” Tu Xin said, his gaze sharp and clear as he looked at Di Zun, a blazing fire burning in his eyes.

Xu Zhi was silent for a moment. “You entered the Longevity Realm and, with that fellow’s acceleration, arrived at your future self one hundred million years from now. What heights have you truly achieved?”

How terrifying was one hundred million years?

Tu Xin had reached such a height in just over a thousand years of development, capable of overthrowing the lives of the old era.

Time was his greatest lack, and one hundred million years perfectly compensated for this major deficiency. He had likely already fully developed his civilization to maturity, reaching the mature civilization era of the new universe in the future.

“What is my realm?”

Tu Xin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, stating with calm pride, “If your mental realm has already reached that of a true Eleventh-tier... then I have mentally attained the perfect Grand Completion of the Eleventh-tier, on the path to the weak Twelfth-tier.”

Xu Zhi was stunned, staring at Tu Xin before him. He knew Tu Xin was the designated protagonist of the Cosmic Era, destined by fate! But could he really cheat his way to such an extent?

Was there still any reason left in this?
