Chapter 406: Falling Behind

In the distance, the Divine Eye True Lord floated amid endless chaotic currents, mockingly watching Xiao Yu, suppressed by the Eternal True God, and roared, "Human, why aren't you going berserk?"

"What? That's not enough?" Xiao Yu laughed, "Divine Eye Clan, you can't be that weak!"

Continuously and rapidly employing the Eleventh‑Tier power technique, he also felt uneasy.

"Then I'll send you to the stars!" the Divine Eye True Lord roared, "Eternal Eye!"

At once, the three heads of the Eternal True God murmured unknown incantations, their bodies bathed in divine flame, and the massive single‑eyed Illusory Shadow behind the three heads suddenly merged into one.

Suddenly the entire Cosmic Sea seemed shrouded in darkness.

Then, in an instant, a dazzling violet light, containing soul‑attack power at the Eleventh‑Tier limit, shot toward Xiao Yu, reaching his side almost instantly as if it could Instant Teleport, and surged to his side.

At the same time Xiao Yu noticed the terrifying soul attack, his Divine Body burning, the Divine Blade in his hand emitting endless dim light, and he low‑shouted, "Reincarnation."

He then swung the Divine Blade at the soul attack, endless black rays spiraling into a massive conduit that struck the 'Eternal Eye'.

"Boom!"

The black rays formed by Creation collided with the violet light, and the violet light, like an indestructible sword, shattered the vortex conduit of black rays, consuming most of its power, then continued flying toward Xiao Yu.

"Not good!" Xiao Yu's heart raced; with a thought he instantly shifted his position within the Voidified World.

The violet light surged into the Voidified World beside Xiao Yu, and with a bang the Voidified World shattered!

Immediately Xiao Yu, as if struck by lightning, was stunned, and his True Body's location Instant Teleported to a point billions of kilometers away.

At the same moment the violet light vanished as the Voidified World broke, forming an endless black storm.

"What? You even dodged that." The Divine Eye True Lord was astonished.

"What just happened?" the Second True Lord asked, puzzled; he had detected no spatial disturbance, so how could Xiao Yu's position have changed suddenly?

Whether in the Primordial Universe or the Cosmic Sea, Instant Teleport must generate spatial fluctuations; regardless of magnitude, they always occur, due to the principle of Instant Teleport.

"Kill!" the Divine Eye True Lord shouted, and the Eternal True God Instant Teleported to a spot not far in front of Xiao Yu, then unleashed various weapons in his hand to attack.

It's not that he didn't want to use the 'Eternal Eye' again, but even the current Eternal True God would need a long wait to unleash a soul attack of such magnitude again; this move was originally the Divine Eye True Lord's trump card, but unexpectedly it failed.

A thudding sensation rose from deep within his soul; Xiao Yu finally regained clarity and instantly saw a massive divine hammer breaking through endless spacetime toward his chest. From its boundless momentum, Xiao Yu realized that if struck, his Human True Body would collapse.

He hurriedly blocked with the Divine Blade, but in his haste he could only employ brief Sixth‑Tier techniques; even with the amplification of the Burning Divine Pearl and the Divine Blade, they were only at the Tenth Tier.

"Boom!"

Xiao Yu was flung backward, quickly shrinking to a speck in the Cosmic Sea before vanishing.

"Puff!"

Xiao Yu felt his Divine Body as if it were scattering, riddled with cracks.

"One strike loses 70% of Divine Body," Xiao Yu thought, and endless divine power streamed from the World Ring, instantly restoring his Divine Body completely.

"Victory!" the Sixth True Lord seemed to see the dawn of triumph.

"Finally injured," the Second True Lord also praised.

……

Within the Inheritance Space where space constantly shifts rapidly.

Meng Lao suddenly stood, his expression tense as he stared into the distance, as if he could see the battle scene within the Cosmic Sea.

"Don't die!" Meng Lao murmured.

He was anxious and deeply concerned for Xiao Yu's safety in the external battle, yet he could do nothing; the Supreme Law would not permit him to appear outside the Inheritance Space.

"What a pity I'm only a wisp of Divine Soul; otherwise I wouldn't fear such a tiny law hub," Meng Lao muttered.

In his view, the Supreme Law that maintains the entire Cosmic Sea and even three thousand dimensions is merely a management hub.

"Alas, anyone studying the Primordial Soul Secret Method encounters this; I faced it when I first created the method, and all my many disciples, once they reach the Fifth Tier of the Primordial Soul Secret Method, must undergo the calamity of the Voidified World shattering," Meng Lao sighed.

"I don't know whether this is fate or a Curse inherent to the Primordial Soul," even the founder of the Primordial Soul Secret Method was uncertain of the cause.

……

After the Eternal True God flung Xiao Yu away, it stepped forward at extreme speed, instantly reaching a hundred times light speed, easily catching up to Xiao Yu.

This time Xiao Yu was prepared; each swing of his Divine Blade was an Eleventh‑Tier 'Distant Moon'.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In a short time they had clashed thousands of times, each attack wielding Eleventh‑Tier power; even the five Divine Eye Clan True Gods controlling the Eternal True God struggled with the consumption, and the Eternal True God's momentum weakened considerably, dropping to the Eleventh‑Tier threshold.

"How massive is this kid's Divine Body to sustain this?" the Divine Eye True Lord thought.

"All Cosmic Lords, burn your divine power," the Second True Lord ordered; although they were all Strongest Beings, he lagged far behind the Divine Eye, nearly unable to sustain, and began tapping the small‑scale cosmic storage of Primordial Energy.

"Yes, Second True Lord."

Each Cosmic Lord of the Divine Eye Clan burned their Divine Bodies, and endless divine power radiated outward; the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth True Lords, the four Strongest Beings, immediately absorbed this power and fed it to the Eternal True God.

At once the Eternal True God's waning momentum surged skyward, as if even cosmic space could not bear it, cracking apart.

"This can't continue," Xiao Yu thought, he had intended to keep a trump card, but now had to unleash it before the strongest beings of the Cosmic Sea.

"Phantom Slash!" Xiao Yu low‑shouted, and with a thought his Divine Body ignited, endless divine power surged wildly from the World Ring into his Divine Body, then was rapidly consumed.

In an instant, Xiao Yu appeared around the Eternal True God as if Instant Teleporting; ten thousand Xiao Yus almost simultaneously materialized beside the Eternal True God.

"What?" the Divine Eye True Lord felt himself trapped in an endless slow flow of time, unable to break free.

Through the divine power emitted by the Eternal True God he sensed that the ten thousand Xiao Yus did not appear simultaneously, but emerged in succession over intervals extremely brief to him.

He could only vaguely perceive it, and both his divine consciousness and the Eternal True God's movements could not keep pace with the opponent's actions. (End of chapter)
