Chapter 4053: Going All-Out, Just Once

The droplet creature kept retreating as white Lifeforce surged across its surface in an attempt to resist the rift’s devouring power.

The humanoid Verdant Sage looked up. Karma. Again, the power of karma had appeared. The fact that a being who had not even reached the Immortal realm yet was able to use an Immortal’s karma was quite troublesome.

For the moment, Luo Chan could not be saved. The more pressing issue was to help the droplet creature get away from Greater Sancte Awe Gate. If that Immortal bug died, the battle was lost.

The humanoid Verdant Sage lunged at Greater Sancte Awe Gate, grabbing two cards along their way. Shan Xiao’s cards were taken, shocking her. “Master!”

Ignoring Shan Xiao’s fate, the humanoid Verdant Sage held the two Emperor cards and plunged into the rift while merging the two cards. “Emperor of all.”

A towering figure appeared and merged with the humanoid Verdant Sage. The figure continued to grow until it surpassed the bounds of the rift, and then it reached out to grab Greater Sancte Awe Gate.

The Immortal thrust her weapon forward.

Clang!

A line split the universe, shooting across the cosmos.

Overwhelming force pressed the weapon down, slamming Awe Gate into the Mother Tree.

The colossal image of the emperor also shattered apart. After all, the emperor was not an Immortal and could not endure the full power of such a being. Even so, Immortal matter had allowed it to actually push the Greater Sancte back, which was no small feat.

The Greater Sancte coughed up blood. She planted her weapon in the ground and pushed back. Once more, the rift descended. A boom sounded out with each rift’s opening until a full nineteen echoes had rung out. Nineteen rifts had been opened.

The humanoid Verdant Sage’s eyes narrowed. The Emperor cards overlapped once again, and the colossal figure reappeared. This time, it did not target the Greater Sancte, but instead turned to leave the Nine Odysseys Megaverse as it grew larger and larger. “I’ll break the megaverse itself! What will you do then?”

With a frigid expression on her face, the Greater Sancte leapt into outer space, the rifts spreading out to smash at the humanoid Verdant Sage.

Elsewhere, without her two cards, Shan Xiao was no match for Xing Fan and Dan Jin, and the bug fled as quickly as possible.

Inside the Terminus Cycle, Luo Chan glared, furious yet still trapped. If it was free to act, the humanoid Verdant Sage would not need to fight so desperately.

The humanoid Verdant Sage had indeed gone all-out, and they were dragging the Greater Sancte away from the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.

Within the megaverse, above the droplet creature’s head, another river of water droplets had gathered, and it moved to crash down upon the Mother Tree.

From underground, sword intent surged upwards: Grand Azuresword Canon.

In the distance, Xue Lou attacked with his Blood Tower’s Eight Styles, causing a sea of blood to spread out.

A long spear crossed the sky, wielded by Bai Xia.

Five-Palm Art.

Heaven, Earth, and Man: Threefold Link and other script arrays unfurled across the sky.

Countless attacks appeared from all sides, all of them aiming at the river falling from the sky.

Some of the attacks were even empowered by Immortal matter, and they managed to slow the river’s momentum.

Qing Xing had long since returned from the Spirit Nidus. He looked up. The Nirvana Tree Method allowed him to fuse with multiple spirit seeds, while the Chaotic Ancient Qi Art refined all energies into one decisive attack.

Boom!

The river collapsed, causing the droplet creature to recoil in shock. How was this possible?

How could these humans stop it?

This did not match its previous knowledge of the Nine Odysseys Megaverse at all.

The insects had already fought against this human civilization, and they knew that the humans did not possess such strength. How had their power surged so drastically?

Suddenly, the Nest civilization’s Verdant Sages started disappearing, undoubtedly dying.

Were these humans concealing their strength all along?

Dong, dong, dong, dong...

War drums thundered. The universe shook beneath an oath taken to slay all invaders.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The droplet creature was shaken. It could see this megaverse’s will, the determination in the eyes of the humans before it.

Can we... actually win?

No. There is no civilization that the Nest civilization cannot destroy!

Humans had already lost to the Nest civilization once before, and they would do so a second time.

Its antennae twitched, and a massive droplet gathered. Lifeforce poured into the droplet, as well as endless amounts of Immortal matter.

More and more cultivators attacked, but the barrier of Immortal matter endured.

Not just anyone could threaten an Immortal, and not even Qing Xing was an exception even with his improved strength.

The power to challenge a creature that existed on a fundamentally different level was something that defied imagination.

He could only fuse all of his remaining Immortal matter into the Chaotic Ancient Qi Art and unleash a single stream of qi at the falling droplet.

The attack shot past the droplet creature, warping the surface of its body and tearing open a small wound.

It worked!

Fusing with another spirit seed had elevated Qing Xing’s strength, and the man had already been someone who had reached the pinnacle of strength beneath the Immortal realm. After further improving his strength, by using enough Immortal matter, he was able to wound the droplet creature.

But so what? Such a wound was negligible to an Immortal. It was no worse than the wound that Jiang Feng had left.

The sky... went dark.

Beyond the megaverse, the rifts clashed against the phantom of the emperor. Pressure from that grand battle squeezed down upon the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, leaving countless beings feeling suffocated.

It was unimaginable how anyone could survive if they were caught in that battle.

The droplet-shaped creature hurled the massive droplet at the Mother Tree. “Try blocking this, if you dare! You’ll all die!”

It no longer cared about increasing its karmic chain. At worst, it could just fall asleep.

No one stepped back. Instead, they all charged at the giant droplet. They were determined to stop it, even if doing so cost them their lives.

Pills appeared.

Boom!

After fusing with another spirit seed with the Nirvana Tree Path, Dan Jin’s strength had spiked to a terrifying level. Her Pill Arts: Infinite Restart was able to erupt with far greater power than when she had attacked Unbroken Time.

Thousand Sails Celestial Mirror.

The Great Master stood at the front and slammed her oar down.

The Nine Odysseys Megaverse’s greatest experts stood together to confront the giant droplet.

Earlier, a karmic wall had blocked the humanoid Verdant Sage’s strike. This time, one met the droplet creature’s attack.

A blinding light flared in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, bright enough to sear eyes into blindness.

Beyond that light, the darkness of the rifts stood in stark contrast.

One was white and the other black.

Inside and outside: the dual extremes were enough to cause the whole megaverse to tremble.

Countless believed that their megaverse was about to collapse. Who could withstand such power?

The ordinary humans saw nothing other than an apocalyptic force to destroy the world.

𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

People spat out blood as they were hurled back to smash against the Mother Tree.

The Great Master, Qing Xing, Dan Jin, and the others all staggered backward.

The droplet creature glared downwards. Its massive droplet had been destroyed. Once again, its attack had been thwarted.

The dignity of an Immortal did not brook such failure. Its antennae twitched, and it immediately summoned another massive droplet above its head.

The Mother Tree of this megaverse must be destroyed!

The Great Master and the others gritted their teeth.

This monster...

Then, a roar ran through the cosmos. It did not just ring through the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, but beyond it as well. It seemed as though the roar had come from the Aevum Inch itself.

Countless heads rose.

What is this sound? Could it be Mr. Lu?

The droplet creature became nervous, and it looked up. Was the Immortal who had comprehended karma finally going to take action? If so, then at least the current battle would not be in vain.

In the Tianyuan, Lu Yin stood with his hands clasped behind his back as he stood atop the Stairway to Heaven. After seeing the droplet creature make another attempt to destroy the Mother Tree, he had resolved himself to deliver a brutal strike against the Nest civilization.

He had already merged his Karmic Dao with the Tianyuan’s karma and then used that to leverage the entire Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm.

He would move the entire megaverse.

Just as mortals might dare to dream of moving a planet with a lever, Lu Yin would use his tiny fulcrum—his Karmic Dao—to move the vast Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm.

His Karmic Dao was relying on the Tianyuan’s karma to merge into the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm and leverage it. That was how Lu Yin had managed to erect another karmic wall.

In the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, the massive impact left countless unconscious. Every eye looked to the sky, but beyond where the rift and phantom emperor clashed, there was nothing to be seen.

However, outside the megaverse, both the humanoid Verdant Sage and Greater Sancte Awe Gate were gaping in shock. A wall had appeared above the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. It stretched across the entire megaverse and was pressing down.

The Greater Sancte’s eyes narrowed.

Mr. Lu

.

An erect wall could be used for defense, but a sideways wall could be used to kill.

This wall nearly spanned the entire Nine Odysseys Megaverse, and it started to fall as the Greater Sancte watched in disbelief.

The humanoid Verdant Sage also froze. Had the human who wielded karma gone mad? This wall would not only crush the Nest civilization’s swarms, but also every living creature in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.

As the karmic wall descended, smaller walls appeared beneath it. The vague outlines formed an inverted triangle that fell into the megaverse first, covering the entire sky.

No creature was killed or even harmed, but all were pierced by karma. Endless Karmic Lines were pulled upward, drawn into the great wall that was falling.

Lu Yin’s gaze sharpened.

Karma, and retribution is its end.

He first drew out Karmic Lines from the creatures in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, separating the humans from the bugs by targeting retribution. After that... the karmic wall pressed down.

Boom!

Another crowd of people fainted from the sound, while all of the insects were crushed. Though nothing could be seen, they had been struck and crushed into a rain of blood.

The most pitiful was Shan Xiao. She had tried to flee from the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, but would Lu Yin ever allow that to happen?

Even if some other bugs survived, Shan Xiao had to die.

When Xing Fan and Dan Jin had moved to block the droplet creature’s attack, the fact that Shan Xiao had failed to escape at that moment became the greatest mistake of her life.

Beneath the pressure of the karmic wall, Shan Xiao’s body was shattered, bit by bit. The wall pressed down, and she was crushed and killed.

Both inside and outside the megaverse, countless beings were stunned. All of the insects... were dead?

A smile slowly spread across the Greater Sancte’s lips, and then she laughed aloud. “Bugs, what else do you have? You were two against one, and yet you still couldn’t win. Now, even your swarm is gone! Hahaha!”

The humanoid Verdant Sage’s face fell as they looked up.

Karma...

It was absolutely terrifying that a human who was not even an Immortal had managed to erase the entire swarm. Even worse, they were not even able to see how he had done it.

The Verdant Sage, and truthfully, even the Greater Sancte, had believed that the karmic wall would crush all life inside the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.

That was how dreadful the power of karma could be.

At the moment, the only creatures still alive from the Nest civilization were the humanoid Verdant Sage and the droplet creature. Actually, there was one more.

Lu Yin suddenly thought of Luo Chan and quickly looked for the bug. He saw the Terminus Cycle, but it had also been struck by the karmic wall. Without the Great Master to stand guard, Luo Chan had slipped free.

“It’s only a swarm. Given time, a new one can be spawned. Even without those insects, how can your human civilization stand against two Immortals?” the humanoid Verdant Sage roared. Their colossal form split apart, and two cards appeared once again. The massive phantom reappeared, and while it was less imposing than before, it did not bother to attack Awe Gate. Instead, two beams shot at the Mother Tree.

The Greater Sancte rushed to intercept the twin beams.

At the same time, the droplet creature also attacked, forming another giant droplet.

Lu Yin’s expression grew dark. Even without the swarm of bugs, the two Immortals refused to give up. Truly, when it came to Immortals, time was their greatest weapon.

Given enough time, they could spawn more insects. The destruction of the entire swarm was indeed irrelevant.

Their goal was still the complete destruction of human civilization.

Lu Yin struck again, dropping a karmic wall from the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm to block the droplet, while Awe Gate intercepted the two beams with her weapon. Suddenly, a card appeared beneath one of the beams, and the Greater Sancte was pulled inside. The humanoid Verdant Sage stepped forward, also entering the card. In an instant, the Emperor’s Gaze vanished, as though it had never existed.
