Chapter 935: Strong Combat Power

In the dark and serene universe.

A crack suddenly stretched open in the void, and a vast, colossal being fully descended. It had three heads and was covered in fine, fuzzy fur, presenting a terrifying sight.

"The Three Pillar Gods?" Emperor Qi was slightly taken aback. "They arrived so quickly."

"With such an enemy, your arrival is opportune. It is precisely the time for us to join forces," Caroline said with a smile.

The Three Pillar Gods fell silent for a moment. Good things never involved them, but bad things immediately called for their cooperation. However, they did have to come… because there was no mortal danger. No matter how strong the opponent, they could easily break through to Ninth-Tier and fight from a superior position. It was merely a matter of losing face for the ancient gods.

"That little one… I can sense it in the ethereal realm. It has become incredibly strong; I may not be able to defeat it."

The Three Pillar Gods frowned slightly, looking at the central planet in the distance. Medusa had shattered his mechanical battle fleet. He feared that while it was a surprising counter, it was also a feigned death, and he was unwilling to get involved in this matter. He relied on being a "ferrous-based life form," believing that the opponent, out of respect for Reinmansga, wouldn't overly trouble him. If he feigned death and escaped, the opponent wouldn't pursue him.

The Three Pillar Gods fell completely silent. They knew clearly that the most difficult to deal with were the Pillar Gods themselves; only they truly understood the immense survival instinct of their own race.

"Enough. Let's first resolve the current matter. You invited me here, no doubt to merge with me again and form a single body… Very well, then, let's do it!"

For them, it wasn't just about defiance or extreme humiliation. Battling such a powerful being offered unimaginable benefits: broadening their horizons and pushing their limits, all tremendous gains! For beings of their level, a powerful, unknown opponent who could exert pressure or even overwhelm them within the same realm was something highly anticipated.

In the distance, Mr. Cat's brow slightly furrowed in a chill, feeling an inexplicable strangeness. "Is this the legendary Pillar God Tathagata? What a terrifying fellow. His entire body is covered in fuzzy black short hair, which is actually the hair of countless beings! And his whole body is composed of individual human heads…"

Zhou Meng, who at this moment dreamt of Emperor Qi, also stood with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly. "I, too, can sense the horror within it… Although it's a composite creature like His Majesty the Demon God, it's too heterogeneous. Its aggregation comes from others' cultivation… and the levels are uneven, spanning every realm!"

"But even so, it is extremely formidable… Its advantage is very clear: speed! Through the cultivation of countless sentient beings, its realm advances incredibly quickly! As a composite creature, it can even match the cultivation speed of ordinary, normal beings," the Demon Lord said. "If these three beings unite, and we assist them, there's still hope of winning!"

Although the four of them hadn't achieved true unification, their quantum battle bodies could merge, gathering the four ultimate martial arts to barely form an extremely incomplete pseudo-battle body. However, their frontal combat power was actually far inferior to Emperor Qi and the others. This was because their quantum martial arts were arcane. Other civilization systems, which didn't cultivate quantum martial arts, would be easily overwhelmed by them… But if they faced someone who also cultivated quantum martial arts, or even an Origin Demon God, their advantage would be far, far smaller.

"Hahaha, I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time!" the Martial Arts Alliance Leader burst out laughing. "Being invincible all the time is truly lonely!"

Whoosh.

In the distance, Emperor Qi and the two others once again completed their initial joint effort, converging into an overwhelming Super Pillar God, whose combat power reached its peak!

Boom!

And before them, the four martial arts grandmasters also converged, forming a terrifying quantum battle body that exuded an aura of dread.

"Both sides have fully revealed your true capabilities. Very good!" Medusa chuckled.

This arm of hers was composed of the strongest batch of cells she had collected. The lowest among them were High Gods, many of whom had embarked on the Ninth-Tier path… The quantum arm generated by this arm was perfectly composed of over thirty thousand High Gods. She had thought there would be no opponents in the God stage within the same realm, yet it still filled her with immense anticipation!

"You can break through to Ninth-Tier, but you cannot… Choosing to fight you in the same realm is your greatest advantage… This is inherently a very foolish thing to do… In the time it takes to deal with you, I would have long since broken through to a higher aggregate realm… But I still wish to push myself," Emperor Qi said blandly, observing the opponent's unique skills, movements, and weaknesses from within the trio, searching for clues.

"Attack!"

Meanwhile, the other quantum battle body, not only embodied the Martial Arts Alliance Leader's essence and the 'Free and Easy Roam,' and the Demon Lord's 'Delusional Demon Splitting Art,' but also incorporated the principles of another Emperor Qi, tirelessly studying Medusa's techniques, flaws, and shortcomings.

"Good!"

Medusa extended her arm forward. A terrifying aura of chaotic evil completely enveloped the area. They clashed instantly, their every move imbued with the power to destroy a world. The surroundings transformed into a vast chaos, creating an unseeable, terrifying impact. Planets in the vicinity, even from a great distance, felt terrifying energy oscillations. Even the strongest Law Supremes could not intervene, suffocated by the dreadful aura!

Whoosh.

Space tore open again. The battle between the two sides was surprisingly evenly matched! Even Medusa hadn't expected these individuals to possess such exaggerated combat power.

"Good! Very good! Over thirty-one thousand High Gods, many of whom have embarked on the Ninth-Tier path… and you've actually managed to stop my arm dead in its tracks!" Medusa's eyes blazed with brilliant light, igniting a long-dormant fervent battle spirit. "There are only a few of you! I have traversed countless cultivation systems, and you are clearly far less proficient in cosmic laws and less fundamentally solid than I am. Yet, your foundations are so formidable that you withstood one of my arms… You are truly a group of monsters!!"

"Countless years ago, we could have already broken through, but we continued to refine our foundations, aiming to achieve enlightenment and prove our path in the most perfect manner! Thus, we will become the strongest enlightened beings, transcending cosmic laws!"

Caroline sneered, various divine lights blooming in her hands. "Today, we shall defeat you! This will solidify our Dao heart, allow us to forge ahead, and thereby break through to the Ninth-Tier realm… What good is your high combat power in this same realm? You are merely a stepping stone on our path, born with terrible power to temper our realm… Once we defeat you and truly break through to Ninth-Tier, it will be like a dragon soaring into the clouds. You will no longer have any intersection with us; you can never catch up to our pace!"

"You are merely a passerby in our lives, a milestone on our path." The Three Pillar Gods' voice was also cold. "Milestones are stationary; there's no possibility of them surpassing us!"

"How could you understand my ambition? It seems I can finally have a truly good fight!" Medusa's voice was cold, pervading the divine light with endless chill.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Little Shiji watched this scene quietly, feeling her heart pound. "These people are indeed too terrifying… even more formidable than what I recall from my inherited memories!"

"They have refined themselves to the absolute limit of perfection, it's simply insane! Could it be that the goal of these three is not just Ninth-Tier… but the ultimate realm of this universe?!" An incredible thought exploded in Little Shiji's mind!

Tenth-Tier Ultimate. When there is nowhere left to go, that is the ultimate. This is the legendary final realm, the end of the Great Dao! Only the legendary ancestor of the Reinmansga lineage had reached that supremely mysterious final level… Ordinary Ninth-Tiers wouldn't even dare to imagine it. For them, breaking through to Ninth-Tier and becoming a carefree enlightened being of the universe was already the ultimate dream. One must know, for an Eighth-Tier God to break through to Ninth-Tier is already as rare as a miracle, let alone… a Ninth-Tier breaking through to the legendary ultimate Tenth-Tier?

"These people are indeed formidable. Perhaps their goal truly isn't just Ninth-Tier; otherwise, they wouldn't have refined themselves for so long without breaking through!" Little Shiji took a deep breath. She hadn't received the Tenth-Tier realm inheritance; only by breaking through to Ninth-Tier could she obtain it… However, it was obvious: the path to Ninth-Tier was already incredibly difficult; Tenth-Tier would undoubtedly be terrifying… Their perfecting of foundations and the parallel cultivation of four gene systems clearly indicated their intent to completely prevent any deficiencies in their realm, ensuring the building's foundation was complete before constructing an even taller building upon it…

"These people are truly amazing… They can actually contend evenly with my sister." The more Shiji watched, the more impressed she became, her eyes full of admiration. "My sister said that by reaching the ceiling of their limits, they could defeat one of her arms… but in reality, it's impossible to win." Indeed, achieving a perfect four-gene Dao foundation, cultivating four systems to Ninth-Tier, plus two barrier-free systems—Soul Dao and Martial Dao—cultivating six systems concurrently, that is the ceiling. But even so, it's impossible to defeat this arm… Because a perfect four-gene Dao foundation is inherently a very vague combat power ceiling. A perfected foundation with four weak genes is a different concept from a perfected foundation with four heaven-defying genes…

"My sister is deliberately creating a smokescreen." To defeat her arm, theoretically, it would require four truly ultimate, heaven-defying genes, perfectly matched and working together, for there to be any possibility of winning… After all, it can't really be called fraud; the 'ceiling' itself is quite vague.

"This truly must be the center of the universe, an ultimate high-dimensional cosmic civilization… Even in the Tenth-Tier inherited memories of our lineage, such monstrous talents would leave one dumbfounded." This battle scene is too exaggerated. If it were just one Demon God sister, she could accept it… but here, one after another, their average quality is shockingly high.

Little Shiji secretly organized her thoughts. "It seems Father has long since come into contact with very profound levels of civilization… The Demon God sister's system, and the powerful being behind this terrifying civilization, they know each other! Father's combat power is likely not simple either. Could it be that Father… truly has hope of reaching Tenth-Tier in the future? Reaching the heights of our most ancient ancestor?" A terrifying thought struck her: Could Father even surpass the ancestor?

"It seems the grievances and affections of these forbidden existences are still very chaotic… This civilization, formidable as it is, has met its match… And Father chooses to observe from the sidelines. No wonder, seeing the other side causing trouble, he merely wished to strike their face…" She felt as if she was witnessing a game played by several terrifying beings, even terrifying civilizations with the potential to reach Tenth-Tier, secretly maneuvering!

Just as she was watching the battle, her heart pounding, a group of players emerged from a large eyeball nearby, approaching her cordially. With kind, innocent eyes, they smiled and said, "How is it? Still terrifying, right? Don't underestimate us. Even if the opponent is a special being with no upper limit in the same realm… we can still meet our match in their specialized field, within the same realm."

"Yes, indeed evenly matched… Evenly matched with one of my sister's arms," Little Shiji said with a smile.

Everyone's expressions froze.

At this point, another player chuckled and said, "Don't think this is our final combat power! We have another truly terrifying forbidden existence on their way! They dwarf all these present beings; they can be called… truly powerful!"

"Truly powerful?" Little Shiji showed a hint of surprise, shaking her head in disbelief. "Impossible. This combat power before us is already the theoretical limit for four genes. No one can surpass it… That's impossible." She didn't believe there was anyone stronger.

"You actually have someone even stronger?"

At this moment, another arm appeared out of thin air in Little Shiji's embrace.

"The main body's arm?" The players' faces darkened.

"Yes, my sister's main body arm. Although it isn't fighting, there's no rule saying it can't be here…" Shiji said.

Although Medusa was fighting with all her might, a being of her level could naturally divide her attention. At this moment, this arm also looked somewhat surprised. "Impossible… Theoretically, a normal individual life form cannot surpass this combat power limit." She didn't make a definitive statement, though. If the opponent possessed a strange life structure like hers, it might be possible to break through this limit.

"It really is an individual life form," the player said.

Medusa was completely astonished, never expecting that the other side truly had someone even stronger.

Whoosh.

Just then, another being transcended realms and arrived. Medusa's pupils contracted, then quickly widened as she looked. She actually sensed a presence with an aura similar to her own.

"Another Evil God… No, no, there's a similar aura." Medusa's expression grew solemn as she looked at the majestic being slowly approaching.

"This feeling is… five genes…" Little Shiji finally reacted, her gaze fixed on the opponent. She finally understood why those individuals had said someone would surpass the four-gene beings… because it truly was a transcendence. But a being of this level must be the direct descendant of a Tenth-Tier ultimate existence to inherit such a paternal bloodline, meaning…

"His father is an ultimate existence as great as our ancestor," Shiji blurted out this thought.

"You possess the genes of our race?" Medusa's voice rang out, shaking heaven and earth.

Shiji was utterly stunned. Meanwhile, the players, who had previously been smug and wanted to see the opponent's shocked expression, were now completely bewildered.

Where did the Evil God gene come from?

The Emperor is a five-gene being. They had already learned that these were the Clan Gene, True Qi Element Gene, Immortality Gene, Inner Space Gene, and Demon Core Gene. How did an additional… Evil God gene suddenly appear?

Their minds were reeling, unable to process the information. The Emperor then uttered an even more bizarre statement. He spoke calmly, "Indeed, there's a certain connection. I am already an old friend to your Evil God race…"
