Chapter 565: Above the Supreme

"Oh no, we have walked right into this person's trap!"

The three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity immediately realized things were dire; they erupted with power, intending to break through the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form and escape Li Heng's containment.

However, Li Heng's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form was a conceptual Heaven and Earth, referring to everything, an objective reality; no one could break objective reality, not even the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.

They couldn't break it, they couldn't even land a hit.

So, even if their attacks could annihilate the Boundless World Sea, recreate the myriad worlds and heavens, and even establish the foundation of all Great Dao, with the power of the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity as supreme.

They still could not harm the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.

This strike of theirs was as powerless as hitting the air.

Their hearts were shocked; what exactly was this? What kind of power was this? Its conception and essence were so high that, as fellow Supremes, they didn't even have the qualifications to touch it now. How could this be?

A sense of stifled frustration welled up in the hearts of the three anomalies.

Everyone was a Sacred Supreme; who was better than whom?

All that talk of Omniscient and Omnipotent, First Cause, Free and Eternal, Unique in All Worlds—everyone had started playing with these high-concept things back at the Half-step Divine stage.

Why were you better at playing with them than us?

Unless... this person truly crushed them in raw strength!

"Three fellow Daoists, if you have any tricks, hurry up and use them. Your Majesty is still watching, don't let him be disappointed," Li Heng said from a position of superiority, chuckling.

"Fellow Daoist, do not push things to the absolute limit."

Shou Lao spoke calmly.

Li Heng smiled and did not answer; he backhanded the other anomalies besides the three of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity to death, consigning them to Eternal Silence. His Source Power surged once more, and he gained over fifteen thousand Golden Source Points.

At this moment, the total number of Golden Source Points had already reached over forty-five thousand.

Meanwhile, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form continued to shrink in an orderly fashion. The three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity were like little birds trapped in a cage, and now this cage was constantly shrinking, leaving them nowhere to run.

Seeing that Li Heng was impervious to persuasion and did not want to negotiate, the hearts of the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity sank instantly. This person was truly determined to kill them and would not give them a single chance.

The three anomalies looked at each other and made up their minds to unleash their trump cards.

At the same time, the ten members of the Multiverse Alliance, who had originally scattered and fled for fear of Li Heng tracking them, realized there were no pursuers behind them, breathed a sigh of relief, and gathered back together.

"What kind of fierce person is this? Does this era still have such ruthless characters? Fortunately, he didn't chase us and is still dealing with those three Supremes, otherwise, we would truly be in grave danger."

Number Eight said, still shaken, in shock.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Don't forget, we previously made a Great Dao Oath with those three Supremes. Although the priority of that oath is not high, we will still have to pay a price if we violate it."

The others also began to speak one after another.

"Number One, what is your opinion?"

Number Three pushed up his glasses and looked at Number One, who was in the lead.

"My opinion? If you want my opinion, my intuition is still telling me that person is related to the Number Five Strange Object."

Number One said calmly.

"Then it seems we have to turn back and deal with that person? But is it worth it? The Forbidden Weapon didn't work, so we'd have to use other trump cards. What will we do when the trump cards are all used up?"

Number Eight immediately raised an objection, quite startled.

"Number Eight, don't forget, we would also have to use trump cards to deal with and offset the violation of the Great Dao Oath; either way, we are going to consume trump cards."

Number Two suddenly spoke up.

He felt extremely unhappy inside.

After all, he had been manipulated by someone earlier, nearing the edge of Life and Death; now, asking him to just run away and not do anything else, he was a bit unwilling.

So, if he had a choice, he didn't want to run.

However, he also knew that this mission could not be about being brave and fighting recklessly.

If that person was unrelated to the mission, then he did indeed agree not to provoke them further. At worst, after this mission was completed, he would use power from other aspects to take revenge.

He didn't believe the natives of this era could be that strong.

"But you must know, this Supreme is very mysterious, even a bit sinister; his physical body withstood the Forbidden Weapon. Even if we strike again, we might repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, I propose using our greatest trump card. Communicate with the Venerable and summon a Venerable Avatar!" A light flashed in Number Three's eyes as he said calmly.

"Are you sure you want to trouble the Venerable for this matter?"

Number Ten, who had been silent, raised an objection.

"When a lion hunts a rabbit, it still uses its full strength; we cannot waste any more time," Number Three replied.

This sentence made everyone fall silent and sink into thought.

They admitted that what Number Three said made sense.

But summoning a Venerable for this kind of thing could easily lower their standing in the Venerable's eyes. Unless it was truly confirmed that the person was related to the Number Five Strange Object.

"Then it seems it is time to take a vote. I agree to summon the Venerable Avatar." Number Three was expressionless; he raised his hand and then looked at the others, waiting for them to vote.

Then Number One was silent for a moment and also raised his hands.

Seeing that the strongest, Number One, had cast his vote, the others knew they could no longer remain silent and also cast their votes. In the end, except for Number Eight and Number Ten, everyone else agreed with Number Three's proposal.

"Seven to three, the proposal is passed. Let's begin the summoning ritual."

Number Three replied with a smile.

On Li Heng's side, the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity began to fight for their lives.

The three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, after fighting for their lives, were indeed dangerous, even capable of making Li Heng feel a sense of destruction, like pressing three bombs that would explode instantly if the pressure became too great.

"You should have felt it by now; if you continue to force us so relentlessly, then even if we enter Eternal Silence, you will not have it easy. You will be severely injured and ultimately be hunted down by those ten people."

The three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity warned Li Heng.

"Why are you still thinking about negotiating at a time like this? That really makes that Majesty of yours on the sidelines look down on you."

Li Heng shook his head and laughed.

"But I'm too lazy to waste time with you."

As the words fell, Li Heng moved his mind, investing ten thousand Golden Source Points into each of the two supreme firmaments—the Taiqing Realm Great Red Heaven and the Shangqing Realm Yu Yu Heaven—causing them to sublimate once more.

He detested unexpected risks.

But if the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity were truly pushed to the brink, his current power might indeed cause damage to the body of the Red-Haired Monster. Although the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity had taken a crooked path, they were, after all, Sacred Supremes who had pioneered their own paths and could not be underestimated.

Therefore, he chose to upgrade once more, a dimensional strike.

For a Sacred hegemon, the level of Supreme is generally considered the end of a single-element Sacred path, the peak, where the road ahead is pitch black and there is nowhere left to go.

This is also the reason why the three of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity had to open up a new path.

Without a doubt, there exists something above the Supreme in the Great Void. As for how to reach beyond the Supreme, that Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court had already provided the answer: it involves other elements and paths.

Li Heng was already straddling two boats, cultivating both Infinite and Eternal; even if he was not deeply involved in these two paths and had not reached the peak of either, it had still brought his combat power to the level of Supreme. Coupled with the support of the two supreme firmaments, he was an Invincible One among Supremes.

Now, by upgrading the two supreme firmaments once more, along with the two elements of Infinite and Eternal, and further elevating both paths, what would happen?

Naturally, that would mean reaching beyond the Supreme!

It was difficult for Li Heng to describe his current feeling; he only felt it was extremely wonderful, and his status had been elevated once again, allowing him to glimpse the spiritual essence in the dark by relying on the Infinite and Eternal Dao.

He found it hard to describe what that bit of spiritual essence was; it seemed to be the Ultimate? It seemed to be Transcendence? It was ineffable, only felt as a goal standing in the distance that he needed to reach.

But at the same time, he also glimpsed the Great Terror, the darkness upon the face of the abyss.

However, the next moment, this feeling vanished in a flash, and he returned to Reality. He looked at the surrounding Great Void and felt only that the Void was like an ocean. If he had previously been a fish in the Great Void, no matter how big the fish was, stirring up winds, clouds, and waves, he would still remain within the sea.

But now, his perspective had risen.

While he could not see the full picture of the Great Void entirely, he could look down from a high position to see parts of the Void sea, overlooking the three anomalies of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.

"You have already done your best; it is time for this to end."

Li Heng said softly.
