Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 1126 Ch 1126: A Chance Of Evolution
Previously on Divine God Against The Heavens...
"What the...?"
Stunned, Ye Xiao realized he could no longer draw on the True Essence from the outside world. Unable to absorb it, he decided to rely solely on his own reserves.
A massive Starry Sky projection emerged, enveloping what looked like the whole universe. Innumerable stars spun inside his personal universe. Ruthlessly, the Void Shattering Spear in his grasp lashed out, unleashing a thunderous boom.
Regarding the Void Shattering Spear, it had advanced from a God-level weapon into an Empyrean-ranked one. The Domineering God Crystal was what enabled Ye Xiao to achieve this upgrade.
"Boom!"
The clash of their assaults hurled Ye Xiao hundreds of kilometers back through that horrifying impact. Yet, his formidable palm attack was ultimately halted.
The Spirit of the Heavens reached out, summoning a golden sword into existence. Crafted entirely from golden energy mimicking lightning, the blade contained no other substances. Swinging it fiercely, he made the heavens thunder.
"Buzz!"
One sword slash from it reduced all things in the world to oblivion. Such was its matchless might.
Ye Xiao's face twisted in shock. He hadn't anticipated the Heavens' such overwhelming strength, though it proved utterly powerless before Chaos. After all, Chaos dwarfed the Heavens like an infant before a giant; its supreme laws bound the Heavens completely, leaving no room for defiance.
Grinding his teeth, Ye Xiao bellowed. He hoisted the Void Shattering Spear aloft, pouring every bit of his True Essence into it. Rather than strike, he opted for defense this time.
Brilliant light erupted from the Void Shattering Spear gripped by Ye Xiao, illuminating the skies. A subtle rumble echoed as he positioned the spear horizontally before himself.
Their fierce battle obliterated countless worlds. Luckily, this star region held only barren planets devoid of any life.
Those inside Ye Xiao's inner world watched in profound shock. The Heavens' displayed power was beyond their wildest comprehension.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion resounded, a beam of light slicing through the world. The Golden Lightning Sword cleaved yet another immense, endless realm in half.
Cracks spiderwebbed across the surface, erupting with molten lava. In moments, the whole planet became a hellscape of turmoil.
"You are defeated!"
A soft voice declared it, yet instantly, the golden form quivered. Astonishment gripped him.
For a blood-soaked, wretched silhouette rose from the ruins below.
Blood drenched Ye Xiao's body entirely, his garments torn to rags. Crimson poured from wounds where flesh and bone protruded grotesquely, lending him a nightmarish visage.
Yet Ye Xiao's lips curved into a grin: 'Excellent, I've withstood that blow—now it's my move.'
From within Ye Xiao's world, all gazed outward in horror. The Heavens had bisected the entire realm.
Ye Xiao's eyes blazed with battle lust, poised to confront the Heavens head-on using his Fake Divine God Realm prowess.
His universe thundered as energy surged into him. The cosmic projection abruptly grew solid, birthing limitless power. Ye Xiao's frame shuddered while an unimaginable surge of might flooded his being.
In a flash, Ye Xiao's wounds mended completely.
"Pa!"
Deliberately, he aimed the Void Shattering Spear at the Spirit of the Heavens; immediately, a colossal spear materialized overhead.
As the enormous spear took form, unmatched energy saturated the world. The ground began to subside gradually.
"Buzz!"
"Void Shattering Spear, Sky Splitting Strike!"
With a mighty roar, Ye Xiao drove the massive spear at the Spirit of the Heavens. He had devised this technique over the past ten thousand years. Indeed, he'd invented numerous skills and cultivation methods, bestowing them upon his kin.
His family now reigned as the mightiest in all the Heavens. Not just his wives, but his sons and daughters had all reached Quasi-Fake Divine God status.
Even his grandchildren progressed toward Godhood and Ancient God realms.
A disdainful snort escaped the Spirit of the Heavens. He lifted his Golden Lightning Sword and hacked at the enormous spear.
"Bang!"
The sword met the spear, yet shockingly, the Heaven-endowed strike failed to budge it—or even dent it.
Seeing the spear nearly upon him, the Spirit of the Heavens yelled urgently and unleashed a palm strike.
"Bang!"
Yet, upon clashing with the spear, the Spirit of the Heavens was utterly shocked. His arms shattered completely, and soon his whole body exploded into fragments.
This outcome stemmed primarily from the Void Shattering Spear having upgraded to an Empyrean-ranked Weapon, with Ye Xiao channeling the full Power of the Universe into that strike. The spear proved utterly unstoppable, overwhelming even the Spirit of the Heavens.
Witnessing the Golden Figure disintegrate into pieces, Ye Xiao couldn't help but sigh in relief. Victory in the battle appeared to be his.
However...
"What a powerful strike! It truly surprises me!"
Ye Xiao's face shifted dramatically in an instant. Raising his gaze, he beheld a figure gradually materializing right before him, rapidly reforming into the Golden Figure anew. The voice had originated from it.
"Surprised? I am the Spirit of the Heavens. Though you landed a mighty blow, it falls short of defeating me. You need to exert yourself more!"
A faint smile curved the lips of the Spirit of the Heavens as he regarded Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao stared blankly at the Golden Figure ahead, its form still coalescing. Innumerable specks of light drifted within it, resembling a starry sky.
As Ye Xiao gazed at those stars, he felt breathless; the deeper his observation, the more profound they appeared.
All at once, Ye Xiao's heart jolted. Contemplating the stars, a specific pattern flashed in his mind.
"Boom!"
Precisely then, his universe quaked violently, and those exact patterns emerged on the Domineering God Crystal.
"Is it on the verge of sprouting?" Ye Xiao wondered inwardly.
Right at that instant, space shuddered, transforming the Spirit of the Heavens' body from ethereal to solid, swiftly restoring its original form. The whole transformation spanned just a few breaths.
"You likely lack the power for another attack like that, right? Unable to strike again, why not concede defeat and remain here?" the Spirit of the Heavens stated coldly.
"Hehe, you'll comprehend it shortly," Ye Xiao replied with a faint smile.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion burst from Ye Xiao's body. The Domineering God Crystal rearranged the entire universe into a grand diagram, and in that moment, Ye Xiao's form erupted with dazzling radiance.
Simultaneously, a formidable aura surged forth, shaking the very world.
"Attempting a breakthrough to the True Divine God Realm? I won't allow it—not before my own limits reach the True Divine God Realm."
The Spirit of the Heavens froze briefly, then realization struck. His countenance darkened as he swung the Golden Lightning Sword downward; Ye Xiao's universe was evolving anew, with fissures already proliferating across the Domineering God Crystal.
In that instant, he knew meditating quietly to grasp insights from his universe was ideal, yet the Heavens' onslaught compelled him to desperately parry with the Void Shattering Spear. After a deafening clash, Ye Xiao was blasted away.
The Spirit of the Heavens roared furiously, its Golden Lightning Sword slicing through the heavens like a sudden line etched across the sky.
That line wasn't truly physical but a spatial anomaly born from the sword tip rending heaven and earth. The very moment it manifested, however, Ye Xiao's eyes gleamed brightly—for a minuscule sprout had begun emerging from the Domineering God Crystal's core.
"Boom!"
Ye Xiao resisted with all his might, yet the impact still rattled him enough to force out a gush of blood.
Injured though he was, Ye Xiao's aura surged ever stronger, as though True Divine God ascension loomed in the next heartbeat.
