Chapter 841: Divine Weapon

"Has he gone mad!?" Heavenly Emperor Gu You couldn't hold back any longer. "Only when a Heavenly Emperor is trying to break into the Supreme Realm would they choose to push their power beyond its limits. At that point, they no longer have to worry about the Eternal Oblivion Force consuming them.

"But Li Pin... he's just a Tyrant. Even if he has the ability to surpass his limits, how could he possibly use it now? The Eternal Oblivion Force... will completely drag him into a state of no return!"

His words instantly snapped everyone back to their senses.

"Li Pin... he is going too far. Is he trying to take the Scorching Flame Divine Emperor down with him!?"

Heavenly Emperor Dong Xu's expression changed. "There's no need for this. As a Tyrant who can already lay the foundation for the Supreme Realm, his future potential far exceeds others. He might even surpass most Heavenly Emperors. To fall here in the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War... it's just not worth it."

"Trust him," the Divine Martial Emperor said in a low voice. "Li Pin wouldn't make a move like this without a reason. All we need to do is believe in him."[1]

His words quickly calmed the rest of the Heavenly Emperors.

Their gazes turned to Li Pin once more, wanting to know where his confidence came from.

And soon, they found their answer.

***

As the energy on Li Pin's Ruoxi Sword continued climbing, the power of Eternal Oblivion surged from all directions like a raging tide.

But in the next instant, the phantom of the Primordial Abyss True Demon Form suddenly leapt out from his inner spirit world. At the same time, vast streams of gray air burst from his Infinite Star Abyss Body. Drawn by the power of the Primordial Abyss True Demon Form, the gray currents gathered into a chaotic void.

This void managed to hold back the Eternal Oblivion Force for a brief moment.

In that single moment, Li Pin's sword, now carrying the terrifying force of fifteen billion energy units, slashed downward.

This time, the Eternal Swordlight didn't just slice through time and space. It carried weight.

The force behind it was 1.5 times greater than what a Tyrant could unleash at full strength.

It might not have been enough for a clean kill, but it could still crush any technique head-on.

Scorching Flame's face blanched. "Not good!"

He had to retreat again to avoid the deadly strike. But just as he pulled back, the Light of Heavenly Fate flashed. His power flow and movements were fully revealed in Li Pin's eyes.

Li Pin slightly shifted the sword's trajectory, which carried the overwhelming might of a Heavenly Emperor striving for absolute Supremacy.

In that instant, the Scorching Flame Divine Lord felt trapped in quicksand. No matter how hard he fought, the surrounding space was locked down tight, like an inescapable web.

He couldn't dodge at all. There was no way out.

"How could this be...?"

How did Li Pin force me into such a corner after just a few brief exchanges?!

With death looming, Scorching Flame was left with no choice. He exploded with full power. Ignoring his own limits, he swung his peerless battle halberd with the strength to crush starfields.

He aimed it straight at the sword light that seemed to evolve into an entire universe in itself.

"Break!"

Buzz, buzz!

Invisible ripples burst out as the halberd and divine sword collided. In that very instant, Scorching Flame realized that Li Pin's sword wasn't aimed at him. It was aimed at the halberd, the Supreme Divine Weapon—World-Stabilizing Halberd.

Because as long as he still held this Supreme Divine Weapon, even if he lost, he could still retreat safely. But once he lost the halberd, the one weapon capable of suppressing time and space... he would have no escape.

Rumble!

As the Scorching Flame Divine Lord realized what was happening, his face twisted in shock.

A torrent of energy erupted, turning into a blinding brilliance that lit up the heavens and earth. It was as if a star had ignited on the battlefield. Or rather... a supernova had exploded.

Even in the high-energy environment of the Astral World's core, the moment the sword and halberd clashed, the energy and light released in that instant still lit up everything within hundreds of miles.

The vast surge of power sent shockwaves through nearly half of the Weeping Emperor Battlefield.

Violent tremors broke out across countless regions. Entire areas collapsed in localized quakes.

But before the shockwaves could spread further, rolling outward for hundreds or even thousands of miles, a force unlike anything before surged in.

It was the Eternal Oblivion Force. It came like a gray-brown tsunami, roaring in from all directions.

Forget ordinary Cosmic Radiance or Solar Flare cultivators. The sheer scale and intensity of it made even Heavenly Emperors blanch.

Some of the Heavenly Emperors instinctively stepped back, wary of getting caught in the force.

A power like this, born of a Supreme Divine Weapon and on par with the energy released when a Heavenly Emperor tried to break into the Supreme Realm, could erase even a Heavenly Emperor on the spot.

In other words... this power could kill a Heavenly Emperor.

Under its erosion, the energy and light that had once lit up the land for hundreds of miles vanished, as if time itself had reversed. Everything was swallowed into nothingness.

And then, under the eyes of the Human Race, Sky Clan, Divine Race, Unique Lifeform Alliance, Chaos Clan, and the Intelligent Lifeforms, a figure shot out from the heart of that obliterating storm like a cannonball.

He smashed into the ground of the Weeping Emperor Battlefield, skidding for hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop.

It was Scorching Flame.

But in that moment, neither he nor the watching Emperors cared about his fall.

Every gaze locked onto the heart of the Eternal Oblivion Force. There surged that dreadful power capable of dragging even a Heavenly Emperor into nothingness. In its midst... stood Li Pin.

The devouring power shattered his Primordial Abyss True Demon Form and the Infinite Star Abyss Body.

It all happened in less than a heartbeat.

But in that brief moment, so short even Tyrants would consider it lightning-fast, Li Pin had already suppressed all of his energy fluctuations. So when the Eternal Oblivion Force finished destroying those powerful forms, what remained was simply an ordinary-looking Sacred Monarch. Harmless, unremarkable, with not a trace of energy spilling from him.

And so... the force faded.

Bathed in the remnants of the Eternal Oblivion Force and the scattered starlight from the shattered Abyss Body, Li Pin stepped forward. He emerged in front of everyone, almost completely unharmed.

In his hand, he held a battle halberd, the very same World Stabilizing Halberd he had wrenched away from Scorching Flame with a sword light that surpassed all limits.

"It's over."

***

The Heavenly Emperors couldn't help but shout out in astonishment.

Scorching Flame's eyes darkened with disbelief. "This is impossible!"

He wasn't alone. One by one, the Heavenly Emperors all showed expressions of shock.

"How could this be?"

"With so much Eternal Oblivion Force, how could it have failed to drag him into Eternal Oblivion?"

"How did he survive the backlash of the Eternal Oblivion Force? Could it be that he possesses both a Supreme and a Highlord Divine Weapon at the same time?"

The Eternal Oblivion Force! No one in the entire Astral World dared claim they could ignore the Eternal Oblivion Force. Not a single person!

Even the Divine Emperors, who claimed to have mastered the Perfect Realm's ultimate form, only dared say they could maintain a stable power level of 10 out of 10 within the limits allowed by the Astral World.

If they pushed beyond that, it would trigger the Eternal Oblivion Force's backlash, and they would be swallowed whole.

But now, Li Pin had actually dispelled the Eternal Oblivion Force, effectively brushing it off.

"It's Void!" At that moment, a Unique Lifeform with extremely sharp perception spoke up. "It's the power of Chaotic Void!"

The Heavenly Emperor quickly explained, "At that instant, he showed traits similar to the Chaotic Void, and the Eternal Oblivion Force lost track of him! That gave him a brief moment to strike with his sword. After the Eternal Oblivion Force detected him, he quickly retracted his aura..."

The Chaotic Void!? Could someone really have mastered such power!?

The Heavenly Emperors were utterly shaken by what they saw. "How... is that even possible?"

Just then, as Li Pin stepped forward with sword in hand to deliver the final blow to Scorching Flame, Heavenly Emperor Ashura shouted sharply, "No cultivator from the Existence faction can wield the power of Void. He must be a spy! A hidden agent from the Void faction among us! Kill him!"

Heavenly Emperor Wu Chang reacted sharply. "A spy from the Void faction! They must all be eliminated!"

With a fierce shout, he unleashed his movement technique, charging straight toward the Weeping Emperor Battlefield.

Multiple human Heavenly Emperors erupted at once, shouting furiously.

"How dare you interfere with the order of the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War!?"

"The audacity of the Divine Race!"

"Stop!"

Time and space forces surged around them, tension soaring as the battle teetered on the edge of breaking out.

At that moment, the tournament's host, Divine Emperor Yuan Jie, raised his voice with authority. "Enough!"

A massive compass treasure appeared above his head. Waves of space-time-suppressing power poured down from it, forcibly freezing both Heavenly Emperor Wu Chang and the Human Race's Heavenly Emperors in place.

"This Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War is hosted by the Chaos Clan. Anyone who dares break the rules clearly doesn't respect me, Divine Emperor Yuan Jie!"

He cast a fierce glare at Heavenly Emperor Wu Chang and Ashura. "This is your first and only warning! If you dare make a move again, you're declaring war on the Chaos Clan. Feel free to test if I can leave every last one of your Divine Race behind."

Both Wu Chang and Ashura's faces darkened. They couldn't help but feel bitter regret.

The Human Race had reacted too quickly, leaving no chance to take advantage of the chaos and secure their plan. Now... any further intervention would be far more difficult.

But they weren't about to let go of this matter either.

Heavenly Emperor Wu Chang growled, "Li Pin harbors the power of the Void of Chaos. He's clearly a spy from the Void Faction! You, the Chaos Clan, are hosting this tournament. Now that the Void faction's spy has slipped in, why haven't you taken action to eliminate him? Or are you secretly allied with the Void faction?"

Divine Emperor Yuan Jie snorted coldly, "If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to others. We can still tell whether someone belongs to the Void Faction. What Li Pin wields isn't pure Void power.

"Otherwise, he wouldn't carry any traces of the Eternal Oblivion Force. The fact that the Eternal Oblivion Force still clings to him proves he's a being of Existence. If he truly belonged to the Void, the Eternal Oblivion Force would have no effect on him."

Heavenly Emperor Ashura's expression darkened, but deep down, he knew Yuan Jie spoke the truth. That was why, despite shock among the other races, their reaction wasn't as fierce.

But not that Scorching had his Supreme Divine Weapon taken away by Li Pin and was defeated, he would surely suffer the same fate as You Xu if this battle went on!

The two Divine Race Heavenly Emperors exchanged a glance, then silently transmitted messages to the Heavenly Emperors of the Sky Clan, Demon Clan, Unique Lifeform Alliance, and others.

"Li Pin has mastered the space laws and is now unstoppable. At this point, forget about the rematch. Everyone must join forces to kill him now, while he's still inexperienced with space manipulation. His protective techniques are currently weakened by the Eternal Oblivion Force. If we don't act fast, he'll sweep through the races in the Overlord Competition just like he did the Prodigy Competition!"

1. Just a reminder that the Divine Martial Emperor is still just a Heavenly Emperor. He merely names himself so due to his obsession with the Divine Emperor Realm. ☜
