Chapter 941: Ultimate Martial Arts, Heterodox Universe

The five-gene realm is indeed perfectly enviable.

In other words, ordinary low-tier Ninth Ranks can no longer damage this formidable battle body. Five major defensive genes stacked? The defensive power has reached an unprecedented and terrifying level.

Even if a low-tier Ninth Rank possesses 1000 units of energy, their combat power isn't condensed or refined enough. If they only follow one or two inferior transcendent cultivation systems, they are highly unlikely to break through this defense, not to mention the exaggerated recovery power of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art.

“However, your defense has only reached the threshold of the Ninth Rank, while your offensive capability is very weak...” Medusa chuckled. “If I'm not mistaken, you can't even break my defense.”

“That's true.”

The Emperor's expression was calm. “Integrating quantum martial arts was indeed to compensate for a lack of combat power... but it hasn't fully matured yet, so my combat strength is still very weak.

After all, fighting across realms is almost impossible... Even I have never considered killing enemies across realms; the difficulty is too great and it's unrealistic... This is merely refining my foundation, preparing for a breakthrough.”

Preparing for a breakthrough?

A silence fell over the entire audience.

So, while you weren't fighting to cross ranks, you've already battled a complete low-tier Ninth Rank just to refine your foundation for a breakthrough?

Even if you can't win, it's terrifying enough if the opponent can't kill you.

That's a difference of an entire major realm!

“Your defense is astonishing.”

Medusa took a deep breath. The opponent's defensive power truly exceeded her expectations; despite her significant combat strength advantage, she still found it troublesome.

She pondered for a moment, then chuckled, “You cannot defeat me, but I have a chance to defeat you.”

“Then the meaning of this battle lies in whether I can penetrate your defense.”

Her voice gradually deepened. With a soft step, she said, “Three moves! If you can withstand three moves, then there’s no need to continue this.”

“Three moves?”

The Emperor's expression darkened. He softly said, “My quantum battle body is indeed still in its early stages of cultivation, so its combat power hasn't fully caught up.”

Xu Zhi also understood that he was currently far from keeping up with Medusa; being able to withstand an attack from one of Medusa's arms was already astonishing.

If Xu Zhi were to fully cultivate quantum martial arts to mastery, gaining offensive capabilities alongside his defense, perhaps then he would truly be no less formidable than Medusa.

However, his main body was still cultivating the quantum battle body, currently in its final stages.

Logically, he should have nearly completed it by now, as so much time had passed... Yet, the quantum battle body remained stuck at 99%, unable to reach perfection.

Grand Universe Martial Arts.

This was a quantum martial art that even the Demonic Sect considered to have been pioneered by an extreme madman.

It was a theoretical, conceptual martial art that no one had truly cultivated... Only after Xu Zhi actually began cultivating it did he realize that everything had to be explored and perfected on his own, with various difficulties holding him back.

“Indeed, connecting the entire Zerg race, the quantum umbilical cord, to become a part of one's own body... this is very difficult to achieve,” Xu Zhi mused with a sigh.

He hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

Nevertheless, even if the quantum battle body were truly completed now, he would still need to accumulate various martial arts. In the short term, he would still not be a match for Medusa.

At this moment, Xu Zhi was still silently assessing their combat strength.

Meanwhile, Medusa spoke again, “Three moves! I advise you to stop, because this move is too terrifying; even I don't know just how powerful it is.”

Those around them felt the atmosphere grow increasingly solemn.

The implication of this move was that the Emperor would undoubtedly die.

“Death won't come... but this move might lead to a fate even more terrifying than death.”

Medusa chuckled, “Have you read the history of technological civilization? The mastery of nuclear bombs was a significant watershed for technological civilization, but before a nuclear bomb exploded, no one truly knew its exact power... because such a weapon was too terrifying.”

“A move beyond conceptual level?” Emperor Qi's eyes glowed as he stared ahead, very interested in such a move.

Caroline was startled, a strange feeling in her heart, and her expression grew solemn. She thought:

“If that’s the case, the Emperor should stop. Such non-human entities are indeed incomparable to individual beings, and competing with her in terms of combat power at the same realm is utterly foolish.”

Even proud individuals like them felt relieved.

After all, even if their four-gene cultivation reached its limit, they still couldn't win?

How could they fight?

This was inherently an impossible fight; they were not the same life form.

And for the Emperor to lose his life here would be a tremendous loss.

“Stop? There’s no need.” The Emperor chuckled, “I'm also very much looking forward to your move... After all, you've single-handedly toiled to research this cultivation method, so you must also be eager for the day it's truly unleashed, right? It would be a great pity for such an amazing move to merely be researched but never brought to light.”

Medusa also smiled, a feeling of camaraderie evident. “Indeed, this battle has exceeded my expectations. In all these thousands of years, I've never truly fought like this.”

Xu Zhi, naturally, wasn't afraid of death, as this wasn't his main body, so he wasn't concerned.

“My first move is an opening stance, a full-range strike.” Medusa turned and looked at Emperor Qi and the others. “You all need to be careful…”

She raised her head, then looked at the three nearby planets,

“And Machine Pillar God, hiding on that planet, do you think you can escape? You need to hide more carefully from this move. And you poor little natives, as I said before, don't think I've forgotten about you…”

Caroline, Emperor Qi, and the others frowned.

They sensed something strange and chilling.

“Just one more reminder, this move is a full-range attack. Be careful,” she chuckled.

On the three nearby planets, countless people were struck with terror.

How could this be possible?

How could there be a cultivation method capable of such a wide attack range?

Even a Ninth Rank couldn't possibly unleash an attack that covered multiple surrounding life-bearing planets.

Emperor Tier of the Tier Empire instantly changed his expression drastically. “Quick! We must leave this planet!”

“Let's run!”

Countless high-ranking officials wailed.

Meanwhile, on Machine Pillar God's planet, a mechanical spaceship secretly set off, flying toward another location.

“It's no use, it's no use!!”

Medusa raised an eyebrow, revealing a strange smile. “Do you know what the greatest benefit is of me becoming a Multiverse Demon God, wielding the authority of the Outer World, and residing at the center of the Multiverse?”

Medusa's gaze was filled with emotion as she said, “That's something no ordinary creature can achieve. One must profoundly understand the entire world to perfectly simulate all cosmic parameters. Only I, having walked cultivation paths over a hundred thousand times, can accomplish this... It appears like a true universe.

And the evolution of rules within the entire multiverse has rapidly fed back into my understanding of this world, complementing each other.

The will of the universe, the storms of rules, the forms of all things, electric apples falling, lava erupting, mist layers raining... magnetism, gravity, repulsion, quantum force... the cognition of the strong – these are all the authorities of the current universe.”

Medusa chuckled, “When you merge all the authorities of the rules into an initial point, what will it form?”

Everyone knew the answer.

The world's endless rules, millions of interwoven laws—if they were all mixed into a single point...

That would likely be the primordial beginning of the universe, the initial point of the Big Bang.

All rules, matter, and energy converging at a single point represents the ultimate unified phenomenon of the universe, symbolizing the most extreme and magnificent cosmic spectacle: the Big Bang and the Big Crunch.

“And to achieve this, one must understand the laws and order of the entire universe.”

She raised her arm high, slowly gripping the void. A massive, light-blue glass bottle appeared in her hand. “And those who witness this…”

“Will see the birth of a parallel world.”

She gently tossed it, and the world bottle, the size of her, was instantly thrown into the air.

The next second, something terrifying happened.

The entire bottle rapidly transformed into a black hole, absorbing everything around it, drawing in all surrounding matter thread by thread.

“Three moves! Yes, you have only witnessed the ultimate martial arts of the Four Grandmasters. Now, let me show you my ultimate martial art.”

There was no sound, as if all air was pulled into it by a powerful, violent force, forming a silent black hole. She chuckled softly and asked:

“Do you know? Some say that the other side of a black hole is a parallel universe.”

“Ultimate Martial Art, Opening Stance: Outer Universe!”
