Chapter 1161: Great Battle! (Part 1)

Chapter 1161: Great Battle! (Upper)

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom...

A terrifying divine pressure, centered upon Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, radiated outward in all directions.

In an instant,

it spread across the entire battlefield.

Not only that,

this pressure formed its own world, pulling the forces of the Praja Empire and the Ossian faction entirely into this world created by the Primordial God.

At this moment,

both sides stared in shock at Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu.

They had never before witnessed Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu manifesting the power of a Divine Sovereign.

After seeing it.

The Jiaoyang Empire naturally erupted into boundless excitement.

Yet on the other side, the Ossean faction grew solemn and grave.

"I thought the Jiaoyang Lord possessed only master-level power artifacts. I never expected Him to actually possess the secret art that elevates one's own strength to the master tier."

"How could the Jiaoyang Imperial Sovereign have so many top-tier techniques to enhance his power?! If I'm not mistaken, this individual's strength is merely a mid-level god, junior rank!"

"Is the Lord's Law truly that all-powerful? Can it effortlessly shatter the master-level threshold?"

"If we win, that's fine. But if we lose—this Celestial Sovereign of the Common People might truly have the right to lead the human race to survive with dignity across the myriad realms."

...

The various Red Sovereigns spoke solemnly, one after another.

A being of master-tier existence is called a clan-defining powerhouse precisely because—

Because races with a Supreme God-level powerhouse present are sufficiently protected within the myriad realms, allowing them to survive for countless ages without fear of annihilation.

Even more, such races can flourish under the power of time, giving rise to countless strong individuals and evolving into elite civilizations.

After all, a Supreme God-level being—unless deliberately choosing self-destruction—cannot be eliminated by another of equal rank.

Only the Highest Gods or beings beyond that realm can effortlessly destroy such power.

And those beings rarely descend into the world.

Thus, a Supreme God is essentially the pinnacle of strength visible across the multiverse!

Races under the protection of a Supreme God are rarely destroyed and can grow safely and securely.

That is precisely what makes them "race-protecting" titans!

Yet, despite this, figures like Os and his companions do not feel fear.

Among these nation-leaders, they possess numerous Supreme God-level techniques at their command.

Even though Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu possessed only the strength of a subordinate of a Supreme God, together wielding Supreme God-level techniques, they could still slay him.

At that very moment,

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, having just fully ascended to the rank of subordinate Supreme God, slowly opened their eyes.

A cold, lunar radiance bathed them, making them appear like emperors of the moon itself.

With a single thought, six Supreme God-level artifacts enveloped their bodies.

Now bearing six Supreme God-level artifacts, Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu felt, even if a Supreme God of the upper tier appeared before them, they would still dare to advance and fight!

They said nothing, and swiftly moved ahead, reaching the forefront of the Prajak Empire's vast army.

Their objective was clear.

It was the very center of the Crimson Army—Ossus.

"Come on!"

Os commanded.

All the Red Sovereigns witnessed this and, without delay, ordered their respective Red True Gods to unleash their pre-prepared, divine-level tactics—ready to confront Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu as they surged forward.

But just then—

a flicker of strange light flashed in Zhou Zhan’s eyes.

The next instant—

it was revealed that over two-thirds of the warriors and divine spirits from the ninety-two elite Red Empires, excluding the Chaos Red Empire, suddenly turned their weapons upon their comrades beside them. Before any Red Sovereign could react, the slaughter began without restraint.

In a blink of an eye—

nearly one-tenth of the Red soldiers and divine beings were killed or grievously wounded, many unable to react in time. Among the victims were several Red True Gods, who perished in the chaos.

"What?!"

The crimson sovereigns stared in stunned silence at this scene.

Then they immediately realized.

"Is it the seduction power of the Celestial Emperor of the People?"

"When did the Celestial Emperor of the People sway our troops?"

"Didn't we see the Celestial Emperor of the People take any action before?"

...

"It was the previous ambush!"

At that moment,

Os's face darkened as he spoke.

He could not have imagined it.

Though he had prepared meticulously, the enemy had still managed to turn over his 92 elite divine generals of the Crimson Empire.

Although only these core warriors of the Crimson Empire had been compromised—no effect on the rest of the Crimson Empire or the Crimson Kingdom, and the main forces remained intact—still, it was deeply unsettling.

For they were the very heart and soul of the entire Crimson army.

With the war just beginning, their most elite and central forces had already faltered—a severe blow to morale.

But there was no time to dwell on it.

For Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu had already plunged into the midst of the Crimson army.

Facing the terrifying divine pressure of their master.

Don't speak of ordinary Crimson soldiers.

Even the Crimson Deities and the Crimson True Gods dared not obstruct the path before them.

They had, without conscious thought, cleared a direct celestial pathway straight to Os.

"A bunch of useless fools!"

Os snarled.

Then, he took a deep breath and produced a statue.

He stared at it, a flicker of sorrow passing through his eyes, yet still pressed it against his chest. And then, to his astonishment, the statue was forcibly embedded into his very heart.

When the statue had fully merged with his heart—

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The thunderous rhythm of a massive heartbeat echoed across the battlefield.

The surrounding Red Sovereigns stared in astonishment as Osir's power surged rapidly.

True God, lower rank... True God, mid-rank... True God, upper rank...

Subordinate Supreme God!

Osir's strength had suddenly soared to the level of Subordinate Supreme God—exactly matching Zhou Zhao's!

Then, with a mere thought, Osir raised a three-colored tower radiating the aura of a Subordinate Supreme God, and the tower shot toward Zhou Zhao at blinding speed.

Zhou Zhan's eyes flashed with a sharp, cold glare.

With a single slash, he severed it.

Boom!

The three-colored tower of Subordinate Supreme God strength was instantly shattered by that one cut, and the one who had caught it—Osir—was thrown back hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Osir's mind reeled in shock. When he looked at his own three-colored tower, his face turned utterly terrified.

Because He saw a massive crack splitting open in the very body of his tower.

"This..."

Os was beyond belief.

The three-colored tower in his hands, though not a primary artifact, was still a weapon of the lower tier of a primary deity—designed for devastating attacks.

Could someone have shattered a tower of a primary deity in a single strike?!

No being of the lower tier of a primary god could possess such overwhelming destructive power.

Could it be that the enemy's weapon was...

He suddenly turned his gaze to the weapons and armor on Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu's bodies.

Though they emitted no trace of aura, they appeared no different from ordinary weapons and armor.

Yet, his crimson chaos human bloodline, strange and inexplicable, stirred within him—an instinct, sharp and undeniable.

That is a Lord God-level weapon!

"Lord God-level weapon plus Lord God-level strength..."

"Even if these two avatars of Zhou Zhou do not comprehend Lord God-level laws, with the laws inherent in the Lord God artifact, they likely possess combat power at the intermediate or even advanced Lord God level."

Os's expression could not conceal his shock.

This Blazing Sun Lord had given Him far too many 'surprises.'
