Chapter 969: Above Transcendence!

Ye Wuque looked at Kong and asked in a deep voice:

"Then your flesh..."

Kong's expression returned to calm, and he said:

"My avatar was suppressed and sealed here, a gift from that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind."

"That was a battle from ages before the Endless Era; I once had a chance to annihilate it completely, but that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind's methods were bizarre and unfathomable, impossible to guard against."

"In the end I mis‑stepped one move, and it turned the tables on me."

"My flesh was shattered, and it sealed me here."

"Fortunately my flesh is special; it has not yet been completely erased or corroded..."

Kong's tone was very flat, as if speaking of someone else's affairs.

But Ye Wuque could hear the danger hidden within.

To force Kong to the point where his flesh collapses, leaving only his primordial spirit to flee, the power of that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind is obvious.

Ye Wuque asked in puzzlement:

"When we just fought the avatar of that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind, why didn't we rouse its true body?"

"If its true body were to descend now, wouldn't we..."

The consequences are unimaginable.

Kong shook his head slightly and said:

"I have been entangled in a duel with that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind for countless epochs, and I know a bit about some of its traits and even its weaknesses."

"Its greatest weakness is that every epoch it inevitably falls into a slumber for a span of years."

"Now, that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind should still be in the final stage of its sleep in the Dangjin Jiyuan..."

Ye Wuque keenly caught the phrase "Final Stage," felt a weight in his heart, and said:

"Final Stage? Doesn't that mean we have little time left?"

Kong nodded:

"Indeed so."

"Time is extremely pressing; that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind could awaken at any moment."

"And once it awakens, it will be the true end of the Endless Era..."

Ye Wuque asked:

"What realm has that Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind actually reached?"

He was curious what realm would stand above the Eternal Transcendence Great Perfection.

Kong said lightly:

"Above Transcendence."

Ye Wuque was startled again!

Above Transcendence!

Just now, that Eternal Transcendence Great Perfection alone was enough to astonish him.

The Ultimate Hidden Mastermind has already completely risen above the Transcendent Realm?!

It is simply terrifying!

Ye Wuque's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

A being above Transcendence is no longer something they can contend with now.

No wonder Kong says this is the true end of days.

Kong gave a faint smile, looked at Ye Wuque, and with a hint of admiration said:

"Heh, there's no need to worry too much."

"I have now reclaimed this flesh body; after repairing it, my combat power can barely return to Above Transcendence."

"The only uncertainty is one thing: whether the Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind's combat power will surge again after this awakening..."

Then Kong's gaze turned to Ye Wuque and said:

"But now things are different; we have you as the greatest variable..."

Ye Wuque was startled, pointing at himself:

"Me?"

"Yes, exactly you."

Kong nodded, his tone carrying unabashed praise:

"Your existence is unique since the ages, a truly unprecedented and unrivaled achievement."

"Eleven Extremes..."

Even Kong clicked his tongue in amazement, sighing.

He has lived for countless ages, has seen innumerable Heavenly Prides, yet among the All-Extreme Realm Beings of the Eleven Extremes, Ye Wuque is the first and the only one.

"The path of the Extreme Realm, the farther one walks, the higher the future ceiling becomes."

"You have only just entered Transcendence, yet already possess such combat power."

"When you fully refine your Dao Foundation and break through to Eternal Transcendence, even reaching the threshold above Transcendence, it will not be impossible."

Kong continued:

"So, from now on, just push through your breakthroughs."

"After I adapt to the flesh and regain strength, I will find a way to deduce the Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind's location."

"Then it will be the moment of the Ultimate Great Decisive Battle involving the Endless Era..."

"Prepare yourself."

Ye Wuque nodded, took a deep breath, feeling the weight of responsibility and the urgency of Time.

He knows this is a high‑stakes gamble.

The gamble is the life‑and‑death survival of the Endless Era.

He has no way back, and he cannot retreat.

"I understand."

Ye Wuque's expression turned solemn:

"I will quickly strengthen my power."

"On the Day of Final War, I will be present."

Kong nodded satisfactorily.

With Ye Wuque as a variable, this battle may yet have a chance of victory.

Ye Wuque looked at Kong and said:

"Kong, take care; I'll head back first."

He will return to the Ye Clan, close his cultivation in seclusion, refine his Dao Foundation, and strive to advance further as soon as possible.

Kong nodded, then his gaze fell upon his own Flesh, a Wheel of Reincarnation Light flared around him, and he began to prepare to merge the Flesh.

A flash of light, and Kong's silhouette vanished within the Great Hall.

He needs to find a safe place to merge the Flesh and restore his strength.

Ye Wuque cast a deep glance at the Deep of Wugui Realm, then turned and left.

His silhouette turned into a streak of light, soaring toward the Dark Age and toward the direction of the Ye Clan.
