Chapter 1454: End

The Heavenly Emperor slowly stepped forward, gazing at Tu Xin, whose expression was sharp and battle intent soared. "You are indeed worthy of me unleashing my true power. To reach the pinnacle of the future universe in just a hundred million years and deduce all the grand visions of your biological era is truly extraordinary."

"The same goes for you, sir."

Tu Xin's gaze was fixed on the Heavenly Emperor before him. How could he not know? If the Heavenly Emperor hadn't initially held back, gradually revealing his strength, Tu Xin would have been long dead!

In Tu Xin's eyes, the Heavenly Emperor was indeed upright and honorable. He never suppressed others with his cultivation level. He always fought on equal terms.

Only when others broke through to a certain realm would the Heavenly Emperor match that realm. Such a proud prehistoric cosmic warrior, a solitary king—even Tu Xin had to admire him! A saint like this was unprecedented in ancient times!

What was even rarer was that he hadn't decayed with time, still maintaining a clear heart!

Even Tu Xin himself didn't know if he would grow old and corrupt in the future, if the dragon slayer would eventually become a wicked dragon, living like another Lord of the Undying Realm. The Heavenly Emperor before him was the future he longed for!

"I truly hope that countless eons from now, I can still be like you, sir, maintaining a young heart," Tu Xin said, suddenly looking up towards the cosmic sky.

The Heavenly Emperor merely said indifferently, "Throughout the ancient and modern cosmos, hundreds of thousands have sought to emulate me, yet I remain the only one."

"Yes, no one can guarantee they won't decay, and I can't either. I can only try my best," Tu Xin smiled.

Xu Zhi, however, had a dazed expression. He glanced at Tu Xin, whose battle intent was blazing, and mused silently, "This one is truly pure, earnestly deducing cultivation methods. Only he hasn't decayed; he's still bravely pushing forward, pioneering a new era of breakthroughs..."

"As for the Zerg Mother Queen, Zhi Zhu, and the others, they are all cunning old foxes, accustomed to hiding behind the scenes in every era, acting sparingly, and secretly learning from Tu Xin... Furthermore, our relationship is complex. The Zerg learn from me, I learn from them, a constant back-and-forth... It's almost impossible to tell who originated what now."

Xu Zhi's expression was peculiar.

None of them were easy to deal with; the Zerg Mother Queen and the Lord of the Undying Realm were both incredibly cunning.

But this was precisely the contest of spirit between the new era and the old. One had just been born, surging forward, constantly innovating and forging new systems... The other had decayed with age, exhausted its talents, and could only secretly learn from others...

"No wonder the future dynamics between the old and new eras are so vastly different; this is the cosmic trend... If not for me, how could they possibly defeat Tu Xin in a fight?" Xu Zhi shook his head. "There are no eternal dynasties; bloodline systems, if left to normal development, would inevitably disappear with the times."

No matter how cunning you are, you are still decaying relics, naturally unable to surpass Tu Xin.

Unfortunately, outside of fate, Xu Zhi, a variable in the cosmic trend, had appeared!

"It seems we can truly fight now," Tu Xin said, his gaze sharp. "I have reached the peak realm of the cosmos. From now on, there can only be those who stand alongside me, never those who surpass me."

The Heavenly Emperor nodded. He had already reached the absolute peak, the true strongest Eleventh-tier Grand Perfection realm. In terms of mental cultivation, no one could be stronger than him. He was equivalent to a weaker Twelfth-tier being who had reincarnated and cultivated again, resting above the Saint realm... but he could break through at any time, once the era arrived. Even if the era hadn't descended, his insight and skill were enough to crush everything.

"This battle will be the final one," Tu Xin declared, making the first move. "We are at a realm where further breakthroughs are impossible!"

Tu Xin let out a low roar, his body glowing intensely. An overwhelming aura surged forth, transforming into an unimaginably fierce killing intent.

A battle of this level involved no physical blows or visible techniques. They were like two singularity infants of the universe, constantly splitting into countless particle raindrops, colliding with unimaginable precision in billions upon billions of particle interactions.

Yet, the Heavenly Emperor still appeared to be steadily retreating.

"What, are you still holding back? Letting me adapt to this power?" Tu Xin said coldly. "Or have you already reached your peak battle strength, and your actual level has only just entered this Eleventh-tier Grand Perfection realm?"

It was important to note that even within the Eleventh-tier Grand Perfection, there were variations in strength! At the end of the Great Dao, there would always be distinctions between the powerful and the weak. If Tu Xin had reached this realm and was slightly superior to his opponent, it would make sense. The other party was from prehistoric times and an Eleventh-tier Grand Perfection, but it wasn't impossible for their combat strength to be weaker!

"In this realm, I am indeed slightly weaker."

Xu Zhi didn't hide it this time, as his current gradual increase in combat power couldn't possibly deceive his opponent. "For certain reasons in the old era, I didn't truly reach this realm; I merely stepped into it before coming to the future with the ancient beings... Yet you have reached this height so quickly. You are truly worthy of being the protagonist of this cosmic era, one of the destined Eleventh-tier positions in this universe."

"Then it's truly an honor to fight you!" Tu Xin laughed heartily as endless particles surged.

Xu Zhi's expression also sharpened.

This time, there truly were no new realms to deduce; he had reached the limit of cultivation. This meant a decisive battle was at hand, with victory or defeat imminent.

Tu Xin sent the Heavenly Emperor flying again. "The future of the universe rests in our hands, but it seems you've only just managed to enter this realm. It's still not enough."

"One only grows stronger under pressure, isn't that right?" the Heavenly Emperor said calmly. "I believe my personal potential can surpass all limits."

"Potential?" Tu Xin's expression turned serious. "This is different from before. This realm requires slow refinement. Even with powerful innate talent, it's difficult to improve significantly in a short time without thousands of years of tempering." Even Tu Xin saying this showed how difficult this realm was. Tu Xin had cultivated slowly, step by step, and knew the profound depths of this realm best; it was the ultimate truth of the deepest cosmos!

Further away, the Zerg Mother Queen also grew anxious. "Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor was holding back at first. This person is truly honorable. If he had fought us with this level of power earlier, he would have killed us in a few moves, yet he insisted on fighting within the same realm as us!"

Such a person, in their eyes, was almost like a fool. He could have instantly killed them both but allowed them to grow in secret... giving them too many opportunities. He was proud to the point of obstinacy! Yet, one couldn't help but admire him.

"Accelerate the deductions! The Heavenly Emperor has revealed this level of combat power, and so has Tu Xin... We are behind both of them," Zhi Zhu said sternly. "We must hurry to have a better chance of winning!"

With that, all the cosmic heroes continuously combined their efforts, exhausting all their talent in deductions. They poured their hearts and souls into it, draining all their potential, solely to contend for a future.

"Whether our future succeeds or not depends on this moment!" "Our dream is within reach!" Some ancient cosmic overlords and heroes roared loudly.

The Heavenly Emperor and Tu Xin battled fiercely in the distance. The Heavenly Emperor's aura, however, slowly grew during the fight. Initially, he was heavily suppressed, but as the battle progressed, his strength continuously increased, gradually closing the gap between them.

"What kind of monster are you?" Tu Xin was slightly stunned. He had witnessed the Heavenly Emperor's earlier battle with the Zerg Mother Queen, but experiencing it firsthand now, he felt an incredible, almost casual, power.

"Because I believe in personal potential," the Heavenly Emperor said with a serene expression. "Like me, breaking through the limits of one's knowledge, surpassing one's life's combat skills, and extracting one's potential to forge wisdom through one's own power—that is the righteous path!"

"Tu Xin, compared to the Zerg Mother Queen, who merely decays and knows only to learn in secret, I believe you are most capable of achieving this," the Heavenly Emperor said in a deep voice while intensely fighting. "Perhaps you, too, can break through in despair."

"I can too?" Tu Xin was startled.

Although Xu Zhi was locked in a fierce battle with Tu Xin, his heart grew increasingly calm. He had initially considered various strategies to temporarily avoid Tu Xin's sharp edge, but he hadn't expected the hidden Lord of the Undying Realm to be so devious, devising such a scheme... wanting to manipulate both Tu Xin and himself.

Xu Zhi knew the battle was drawing to a close. With an 'insider' feigning death nearby and secretly helping him cultivate, Tu Xin could no longer overwhelm him... In fact, upon reaching this realm, it wouldn't be difficult for Xu Zhi to turn the tables and overwhelm his opponent by leveraging the "numerical advantage" of the Grand Universe cultivation method.

The Zerg Mother Queen? She was even less of a concern. She was already practically on his side, making it a two-on-one situation. Tu Xin was about to be defeated...

"The ultimate realm has been deduced. Now, there's no more room for improvement, no more tricks or trump cards to use," Xu Zhi thought calmly, a clear realization surfacing in his mind: victory was assured.

The Heavenly Emperor was about to dominate for eternity, with no more variables.
