Chapter 940: Using the Weak to Fight the Strong, Using the Low to Overcome the High

Emperor Qi, Caroline, and the others, along with the four Grandmasters of Martial Arts, saw this scene, and their expressions immediately turned strange.

The Evil God directly abandoned their battlefield.

The arm that had been battling instantly detached from them...

However, they did not pursue. Instead, they watched the battle with great interest.

"It could be said that this is one of the most memorable battles in the entire cosmos, from ancient times to the present. A peak battle below the Ninth Tier... it's surprisingly exaggerated to this extent," Emperor Qi stopped, turned around, and smiled.

Caroline also stood still, looking into the distance with anticipation. "This battle! It might not be just 'one of'... it could very well be the most terrifying battle at this level since the universe was born."

Indeed.

Such a battle, which completely broke through the ceiling of combat power, might be unprecedented!

It might even be the first time it has appeared in the entire universe.

"At this level, we are soon to achieve four-gene perfection, but we are still far inferior. I fear we are destined not to be able to pursue this kind of peak combat power," the Three Pillar Gods commented, a rare utterance from them.

Emperor Qi, with his hands behind his back, said softly, "What if we can't pursue it? Why should we? They are abnormal life forms, so naturally, we can't compare ourselves to them! We have already reached our respective true perfected foundations. Why should we compete for supremacy with them at this level? We can break through to the Ninth Tier at any time and witness grander vistas."

Caroline also smiled. "Precisely, why compare? If we're inferior at this level, we'll undoubtedly catch up at the next, the Ninth Tier. That's when we'll truly compete."

Emperor Sovereign's expression was calm, filled with immense confidence. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the two figures in the distance, brimming with pride and an aura of domineering power, like a coiled dragon or a crouching tiger.

"In the future, I will await you at the Ninth Tier!"

Nearby.

The four Grandmasters were also quite at leisure. Listening to Emperor Qi's words, they quietly conversed among themselves.

"It's this person."

"Perhaps, we can create a cultivation method that integrates everything. Yes, that would be enough to solve our predicament," muttered the Martial Alliance Leader.

"Zhou Meng, you, the one reviled by everyone in the martial arts world, also have a day when you do good! Your cultivation method actually has such a function, being able to become this person... This is a crucial key that will allow us four to break through to the Ninth Tier!" Mr. Cat exclaimed excitedly.

Emperor Qi, on this side, also stood with hands behind his back, filled with pride and a domineering aura, like a coiled dragon or a crouching tiger. He was completely immersed in the act. "In the future, I shall lead you all into the Ninth Tier!"

Beside him, Emperor Qi's entire face completely darkened.

This insane, dreaming old man!

In his entire life, it was the first time he had encountered such a disgusting cultivation method; it was terrifying to the extreme!

Zhou Meng's cultivation method, "One Dream of the Cosmos," was not something a normal person could cultivate. Only an absolute madman could succeed, but this madman's technique... was simply too sickening.

Next to them, Caroline suddenly smiled and clapped her hands. "Excellent! Zhou Meng, you should know that Emperor Qi is probably the most suitable person for your dreams; he fits your cultivation method perfectly."

For her, it was best if he dreamt of Emperor Qi, so she wouldn't be dreamt of herself.

Even she was apprehensive; this cultivation method wasn't powerful... but it was disgusting, to the point where even she turned pale at the mention of it!

To have another self, as if from a parallel universe, running around in her skin, wandering aimlessly, with the same personality and talent, living her life... Who could possibly endure that?

The most crucial point was that it was merely a dream of the other party!

Even if you killed the other party, they might just reappear elsewhere in the universe.

"Only replication can defeat replication."

Caroline thought to herself. After a moment, she smiled again. "However, Grandmaster Zhou Meng, since you possess talent in this area, I have a cultivation method here that I'd like to research with your help. Would that be possible?"

After all, no one else could achieve this besides Zhou Meng, so it was a good opportunity.

Beside them, Mr. Cat, who had just exchanged words with Caroline, laughed heartily and said, "Of course, he often takes on such 'business'!"

Even the extremely aloof Three Pillar Gods showed a slight flicker of emotion, looking at the *fake* Emperor Qi. "If that's the case, I also have some cultivation methods that I need your guidance on. After all, my methods are a bit complex and require someone with the talent for integration to deduce them to new heights!"

Emperor Qi's face turned as black as charcoal.

How could he not know that these two, while usually jovial with him, were now clearly trying to disgust and suppress him?

After all, they surely held grudges and were constantly secretly studying the cultivation methods he had pioneered.

"Even beings with such formidable combat power respect Zhou Meng so much?"

Beside them, the Martial Alliance Leader couldn't help but scratch his head upon seeing this scene.

He could feel the power of Caroline and the Three Pillar Gods; if they truly went all out, they could kill him, as his energy was only a quarter of theirs.

In fact, even Emperor Qi could kill him, but it would come at a significant cost, which was why he couldn't be bothered to act.

But this didn't mean he was weak; after all, they were four times stronger than him. If their energy levels were similar, he wouldn't fear them at all.

Yet, such powerful beings were speaking amiably with Zhou Meng...

The Martial Alliance Leader muttered to himself, "Old man Zhou Meng always said that it's not necessarily strong combat power that earns others' respect and fear! ...Now it seems, he is the truly... powerful one!?"

At this moment, Emperor Qi's eyes also flickered. Without making a move, he looked at the distant battle. "Once I have secretly studied and researched his cultivation method, I must find a way to deal with Zhou Meng's true self..."

The players in the distance whispered among themselves,

"Looking at Emperor Qi's expression, he's probably thinking of a way to 'reach through the internet and hit someone'."

How profound were the thoughts of these beings who had ceased fighting?

Each harbored their own intentions, communicating separately.

This battle was like a duel at the very gates of the Cosmic Garden, causing the surrounding space to ripple outwards like water in a pond.

Boom!!!

"As expected of a five-gene existence," Medusa's voice was low but tinged with excitement.

"You're not bad yourself."

Emperor Sovereign's five great genes perfectly overlapped, forming an unimaginably ultimate being.

And the Demon God's body structure also surpassed a special rule of common sense.

All observers were immersed in stunned shock and terror; the battle between the two had almost entirely transcended people's understanding of this realm, reaching an unimaginable level.

This entire struggle was a completely new spectacle, unlike anything any cultivator had ever witnessed.

However, the next second, the Demon God's words plunged everyone into an icy abyss.

"You are very good; good enough for me to truly get serious?"

Medusa smiled. "Even if you've been holding back, you've probably used most of your power by now, haven't you? It's just a shame, I've only used 30% of mine."

As soon as these words fell, everyone's expressions turned grave.

Yes, the Evil God had too many organizations. This situation was akin to a single Grandmaster of Martial Arts being surrounded by an army of thousands.

The disparity in power was still too great.

"I naturally knew you only used less than a third of your power."

Emperor Sovereign smiled, seemingly unsurprised, and said with a solemn expression, "I clearly know that your quantum arms are merely cloned rejects... They don't even possess a fifth of the power of your actual arms, yet they could fight them to a standstill."

Medusa smiled again. "Also, since becoming the Demon God, I've been researching my own unique fighting style, but I've never truly used it."

"Oh?"

Emperor Sovereign smiled. "Demon God, collective chaotic consciousness, you probably cultivate terrifying mental evil sorcery, don't you?"

"Yes, it's a technique that combines quantum martial arts. You are worthy of me truly making a move."

Medusa suddenly opened her eyes.

"Flower of Death, Rose Higanbana!"

A magnificent black-red flower, carrying a terrifying liquid pressure, broke through the cosmic void and plunged violently into the entire galaxy, piercing fiercely.

Large amounts of shattered space fragments rained down like scattered dust.

Nothing happened.

Emperor Sovereign merely slowly touched his chest. A flower was impaled on his chest, as if a fiery floral emblem was worn over his heart, possessing an extreme beauty.

The flower pierced his chest, eliciting spots of bright red blood, forming an unbelievable Dao injury.

"So fast, a soul attack combined with quantum martial arts?" Emperor Sovereign marveled. "This is the terrifying spiritual power of the Evil God, her insight into cosmic rules; no one can escape her attack."

Caroline and the others' expressions tightened.

Yes, it was almost irresistible. The Evil God, a composite monster of non-individual life, was not something an individual life could withstand...

"Then, there's no need to escape."

Emperor Sovereign smiled, and a terrifyingly vast aura emanated from him.

His entire body solidified completely.

The whiteness of his clan's cells, the infinite power of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, and the primeval body of elemental True Qi became a layer of fiery ripples on his body's outer shell.

"This is... this is the physical limit of five perfectly superimposed genes!!!" Emperor Qi's expression slightly changed, his voice trembling with extreme excitement. He watched the scene intently, as if witnessing the most magnificent and incredible treasure in the world.

"Yes, only my insight can comprehend everything."

Beside him, another Emperor Qi spoke up, "This is simply unimaginable terror! The ceramic cells of the entire clan, the Primal Chaos Sacred Martial Combat Body from quantum martial arts, the Pangu True Body, the Elemental Body, the spiritual power of the Demonic Core Gene... Of these, four are defensive cultivation methods for the fleshly body. With this level of superposition, no one can break through his physical defense!"

"And that's not all."

Caroline frowned slightly. "He quickly applied the Demonic Core gene to defensive cultivation methods... The unique computing power of the demonic core was used by him to evolve the 'Carefree Travel' technique! Although the level isn't high, it still played a certain role!"

This meant that five defensive genes were perfectly superimposed on his body. Could anyone truly break through such a monster?!

His defense underwent a qualitative change; no matter how strong the opponent was, they might not be able to pierce it...

Shiji, standing nearby, saw this scene and couldn't help but worry for her sister, silently clenching her fists. "This monster has already broken through the limits of combat power and can now fight across realms! I'm afraid that even a true low-tier complete Ninth Tier with one or two gene positions might not be able to penetrate his defense!"

Indeed.

This defensive power shattered the upper limit.

In fact, the battle between the two had already begun to approach the level of a low-tier Ninth Tier.

The combat power of an ordinary low-tier Ninth Tier with one or two genes might not even be stronger than theirs!

After all, the Ninth Tier was divided into two thresholds: the first was climbing the path to the Ninth Tier, and the second was absorbing energy to break through to the complete Ninth Tier.

Emperor Qi and the others had already passed the first threshold; all they lacked was absorbing energy for the second stage of transformation.

Having already mastered complete laws, they were no different from true Ninth Tiers except for the energy disparity: Emperor Qi was at 1, while a complete Ninth Tier's energy was at 1000.

"Currently, even a complete ordinary low-tier Ninth Tier, an enlightened being who transcends cosmic laws, could potentially be beaten to death by them! They are truly too strong," Shiji watched intently.

"Strong, yes, but to compare us to those inferior, one or two-gene 'crippled' Ninth Tiers... isn't that looking down on us too much? Ninth Tiers who break through with one or two genes will likely be stuck at that threshold for life, unable to even break through to the mid-tier Ninth Tier," Emperor Qi shook his head, looking into the distance. "What good is their energy being a thousand times higher than ours? Without quality, they're just bigger blocks of energy tofu, shattering at a touch."

"What's more, our energy is already ready," Caroline shook her head and chuckled. "We can make the final breakthrough at any time, transforming into that 1000, and literally beat those so-called one or two-gene Ninth Tiers to death... Little girl, you've only just been born, your experience is shallow. You need to follow your father more and see the world."

Was this normal?

Could everyone break through to this extent?

Would they all intentionally halt their breakthroughs, waiting to perfect their four-gene Dao foundation?

Wasn't a perfect Dao foundation a legendary realm? Wasn't this... making everyone a Tenth Tier?

Shiji's expression shifted slightly. "Perhaps my heritage is truly too outdated. The civilization my father encountered is truly formidable... Perhaps, as they said, they are the true center of the universe, and the level my father interacts with is the true cosmic center... Our older memories have been rendered obsolete! The legacy knowledge our Tenth-Tier ancestors left us was from a time when they were in a remote part of the universe, without contact with the cosmic center."

Shiji thought to herself, perhaps her own Tenth-Tier ancestors were also from a relatively remote area, which is why there might be inaccuracies due to information disparity.

Emperor Qi looked at the young girl and chuckled, "Actually, based on my own deductions, if one breaks through with a four-gene perfect Dao foundation, plus the two paths of soul and body, making six major systems into the Ninth Tier, they would truly become a dragon at the rise of the winds and clouds!"

"I fear that ordinary low-, mid-, and high-tier Ninth Tiers with two or three genes would all be utterly crushed, directly sweeping through more than half of the Ninth Tier—that's how terrifying it would be! ...If you're going to do something, do it to be the strongest!"

However, it was undeniable that the current display of true combat power was utterly terrifying.

All the observers, the top magnates, stared intently at Emperor Sovereign. This represented a probing test between the two major forces.

Emperor Sovereign slowly pulled the rose flower from his chest, looking at Medusa opposite him with anticipation.

"Five ultimate systems; this is my current form. Can you break my defense?"

Medusa's face also showed a similar look of shock. "It seems you've truly achieved a perfect combination across all realms, without a single flaw."
