Chapter 947: Majesty

"Why does he still look so confident at this point?"

In the distance, Transcendent Black White, who hadn't joined the battlefield, kept his gaze fixed on Li Pin's body. He couldn't understand where Li Pin's confidence came from. Could he not see that if Creator Li and the others launched just one more well-coordinated attack, they could instantly annihilate him?

He had mastered the law of life and death transmutation like them, but if his entire body was annihilated instantly, he wouldn't be able to activate those powers to save himself, and he'd die on the spot.

At that moment, Creator Li's voice rang out.

"Li Pin! We're willing to give you one last chance! Hand over the Eternal's inheritance!"

His tone was filled with sincerity.

"Or... release your True Spirit and let us examine it once. I guarantee it won't cause any harm to your inner spirit."

He said these words, but he knew that that could never be the case. The moment a cultivator was forced to withdraw the light of their True Spirit and allow others to probe the depths of their mind, their dignity and will had already been trampled.

In other words, their Dao would be shattered—a fate worse than death.

But if someone was willing to abandon everything just to survive, then this was indeed the best method.

"The Dao Realm, huh." Li Pin's gaze landed on Li. "I thought your Dao had only just begun to take shape, but it seems that I've underestimated you."

Creator Li immediately offered, "If you want, I can trade this technique for your Eternal legacy."

"As I already said, I do not have the Eternal's legacy," replied Li Pin. "Besides... your technique is of no use to me."

"Why waste time talking to him? He's already at his limit!" Creator Yong Yao roared. "We just need to push a bit more to destroy him. Let's directly annihilate ninety-nine percent of his divine body, then, at the moment he begins life-and-death transmutation, crush his True Spirit and invade the depths of his inner spirit. What can't we obtain then?"

Li Pin glanced at him.

Creator Yong Yao's words were fierce, but Li Pin could tell from his inner spirit fluctuations that he lacked confidence.

And indeed, that was how it was. At that moment, the spirit of every Creator was stretched to its limit as they waited for Li Pin to reveal that trump card he held so patiently.

The only reason they were willing to talk now was to probe him further.

"It's been over half a month. You're running out of time," urged Li Pin.

The Creators were all filled with confusion, but no matter how confused or wary they were, what had to be done still had to be done. If Li Pin refused to reveal his trump card, they couldn't just keep playing along with him!

Silently, Creator Li and the other Creators completed an inner spirit exchange.

Hesitation would only bring chaos!

In the next instant, a resolute determination surged through all their hearts.

Since Li Pin refused to reveal his final trump card, they would force him to reveal it! Or maybe he’d die so fast he wouldn’t have the chance to use it!

Just as the six Creators reached an agreement, Li Pin once again looked at Creator Li. "To be able to explore and cultivate the Dao Realm to this degree on your own, your talent is undeniable. Unfortunately... my true body isn't here. Otherwise, I would have let you witness the ultimate form of the Dao Realm—Creation Chaos!"

Creator Li, who had just resolved to give Li Pin no more chances and to annihilate him with overwhelming force, suddenly froze.

"Your... what isn't here?"

The pupils of Creators Yong Yao, Miao Ya, and Guang Ling dilated sharply.

A question arose in all their minds at the same time!

What did he just say? His true body isn't here?

The next moment, as if realizing something, Creator Li lifted his gaze, piercing through the endless time and space to see beyond the Void of Chaos.

Not just him, Transcendent Black White, and Supreme Regalheaven—whose Transcendent power hadn't yet dissipated—sensed something and sharply turned their gazes toward the depths of the starry sky.

Their gazes seemed to follow the direction from which Li Pin had come through the Ocean of Time, tracing back into the depths of the Void of Chaos.

In that place, there was something indescribable dwelling.

The battles during this period had been so intense that every Supreme had thrown their full focus and spirit into the battlefield. It was to the point that no one noticed that, somewhere in the Void of Chaos at the outer edges of the starry cosmos, an enormous existence had unknowingly approached.

Although this existence was some distance away from making contact with the starry cosmos, it was now only about ten days away.

Just like how a planet's gravitational pull can cause tides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions on another planet as it approaches, this massive existence had already triggered various reactions within the starry cosmos as it drew near.

The tremors in the laws of the universe were quite pronounced. It was just that those tremors had been masked by the shockwaves of the battle between the Creators and Li Pin, preventing everyone from reacting in time.

But now, with Creator Li's sudden reaction and that massive existence coming so close to the starry cosmos—close enough that not even the full-power aftershocks of the six Creators could obscure it—everyone noticed.

Everyone turned to gaze toward the outer Void of Chaos.

As they perceived that terrifying, overwhelming presence, their faces all changed.

Whoosh!

Creator Li couldn't even care about his battle with Li Pin anymore. The moment he sensed this existence, he tore through the rules of the starry cosmos and plummeted toward the Void of Chaos.

"How... how could it have come this fast!?"

Not just Creator Li, the other major Creators followed closely behind. Then came Transcendent Black White and Supreme Regalheaven.

"What's happening?"

"Something is approaching..."

"I don't know what it is, but for some reason, I suddenly feel an indescribable chill... This is the same feeling I had as a mortal when I witnessed a massive meteor crash into my planet—an impact that ended our civilization...."

The remaining Supremes felt a rising sense of unease, like small animals frightened at the first sign of an impending earthquake, quickly fleeing in panic to hide.

Comparing the Supremes, who were beings at the peak of the cosmos, to small animals might seem a little off. Yet, in truth, a Supreme before a Liberator was worth less than a small animal before a quake. If anything, the analogy was generous.

"Let's go take a look! If some catastrophe is truly coming, it's better than staying here, waiting for death!" Supreme Great Heaven let out a low bellow.

The other Supremes likewise plunged toward the Void of Chaos.

Supreme Primordial and Supreme Ordainment, however, immediately rushed to Li Pin's side. "Origin, you..."

"Your true body?"

Supreme Primordial, Supreme Ordainment, and even Supreme Great Heaven, who was already diving into the Void of Chaos, all froze at the same time.

These Supremes suddenly realized something, their eyes widening.

"That terrifying presence rapidly approaching... is you!?"

"Yes." Li Pin nodded. "Although you've seen descriptions of a Liberator through my Phantom Space Technique, you've never known what a true Liberator looks like, have you? Go to the Void of Chaos at the edge of the universe and witness what a true Liberator is."

He paused, then added, "Once you see the true Liberation Realm, you'll understand that everything I said before, including the list I demanded, was no joke."

Supreme Primordial, Supreme Ordainment, and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Even though they hadn't yet seen Li Pin's true Liberator form, the inexplicable pressure weighing on everyone's hearts already left them breathless with fear.

If they were already feeling like this before his true body even arrived, once it truly descended, what would that be like?

Supreme Primordial and Ordainment exchanged glances.

"A Liberator! A Liberator!"

They quickly shattered the laws and plunged toward the Void of Chaos at full speed. They couldn't wait to uncover the truth of Liberation.

As the Supremes fell with full force, the laws of the starry cosmos grew increasingly distant, while the void's nothingness drew ever closer.

No one knew how long had passed. It felt like passing through a mist made of thin and diluted laws.

Suddenly, their field of vision opened up.

No longer were there any laws representing matter, energy, time, space, reincarnation, or karma obstructing their vision.

Beyond the veil of those laws, a colossal, majestic existence spanning billions of light-years suddenly emerged before them.

Because it was now quite close to the starry cosmos, the Supremes could clearly feel the vastness and immensity of this great existence. Even if a Supreme poured all their strength into expanding their perception, they could only sense the tip of this colossal being.

The power of the laws slowly flowed across it, broadcasting its presence across tens of billions of light-years.

The terror of facing such a colossal being pressed madly upon the fragile senses of the Supremes.

Before it, the matter, energy, time, and space that the Supremes prided themselves on mastering were as insignificant as ants, crushable on a whim. They were utterly worthless, insignificant.

No one had ever imagined that such a great being would suddenly appear before them.

Just like no ordinary person could ever imagine that one day, a planet rivaling their own could appear, floating overhead right in front of them.

That overwhelming sense of pressure from the incoming colossus made Supreme Great Heaven and the countless other Supremes who had also arrived outside the Void of Chaos let out hoarse, nearly voiceless cries.

"What... is this monster...?"
