Chapter 1163: Great Battle (Part 3)

Chapter 1163 The Great War (Part Two)

Zhou Wu, having obtained the Eternal Sacred Soil, injected his divine power into it without a moment's hesitation.

In the very next instant.

The illusions of the Eternal Continent and the river of time and space that filled the sky emitted an invisible ripple of spacetime.

Beneath this wave of spacetime, the scarlet army led by Os instantly fell into a state of absolute stagnation.

Even the twenty-odd scarlet true gods and scarlet lords who possessed master-god-level treasures were now frozen in place, utterly motionless.

Only Os, shielded by some unknown artifact, remained completely unaffected by the Eternal Sacred Soil.

Bai Yun and the rest of the Sun Kingdom's army, witnessing this scene, immediately realized it was a golden opportunity for battle.

The generals and deities instantly commanded all soldiers to abandon all defenses and launch an all-out assault against the scarlet army trapped in spacetime stagnation.

For a moment.

Innumerable crimson soldiers, crimson deities, and even crimson true gods were slain by the armies of the Sunlit Empire. Those who survived were left grievously wounded, unable to continue fighting.

In the span of a single blink,

over a thousand million crimson soldiers, millions of crimson deities, and nearly a thousand crimson true gods—either dead or shattered—fell.

Oss widened his eyes, gazing upon Zhou Wu, who held the ancient sacred soil, and upon the countless crimson forces now reduced to corpses and broken forms. A wave of remorse surged through him, threatening to spill blood.

Had he known the sovereign of the Age of Crimson Empire was so utterly useless, he would have kept that ancient sacred soil in his own hands, using it to his advantage.

Now, alas—

he had become the very tool of their power!

At that very moment,

he saw Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu launch themselves directly toward him,

completely ignoring the six false crimson sovereigns trapped in temporal stasis.

Seeing this, Oss was furious, wanting to curse aloud.

What enmity did we harbor—what deep-seated hatred—between us?

To spare six helpless, false Crimson Primordial Gods, and instead come to kill himself, unbound by the eternal sacred soil?

As Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu closed in, mere steps away.

Oss had no time to think—suddenly, he vanished entirely.

Across this vast, supreme continent, the presence of the other seemed to dissolve, as if erased from existence.

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, blessed with the highest holy bodies and the bloodline of the Chaotic Human Race, possessed senses so acute they could not detect where the other had gone.

Without a word, Zhou Zhan reached into his King’s Sacred Chest and pulled out Bodhi’s Form.

"Where is Oss’s hidden duplicate?"

He asked directly.

"You truly know how to cheat... a simple question-and-answer opportunity."

Bodhi, the Supreme, sighed helplessly.

"Alright."

Zhou Zhan replied without hesitation.

"There!"

As Bodhi had just finished speaking, he saw, far in the distance, Os, his right hand holding a gray, misty umbrella, staring at him and at the Bodhi in his hand with a look of astonishment and disbelief.

"Bodhi?"

Os uttered it in disbelief.

This supreme treasure, existing from ten thousand years ago and coveted by countless races, had only ever been glimpsed by Os in a forbidden ancient text within the imperial vaults of the Chaos Crimson Empire.

He could never have imagined that such a thing had actually fallen into the hands of the Sunlord.

Didn't this thing vanish along with the extinction of the Phantom Fate clan long ago?

He was utterly baffled.

Yet he sensed his concealment had been exposed, and thus he must once again hide himself.

"Quick, catch him—otherwise he'll vanish again."

"Then you'll waste another ordinary inquiry resolution chance."

"Or you could expend one formal inquiry resolution chance, and I'll teach you a master-tier secret technique that allows you to see through his concealment methods."

Bodhi, the Supreme, spoke lazily.

"No."

Zhou Zhan replied.

Then, as Os was about to disappear, he immediately activated Heart Theft.

The text prompt appeared instantly.

[Current lootable items: The Great Mind of a Thousand Worlds (world-level item, containing vast treasures) (theft success rate: 95%), 1 piece of lower-tier divine god artifact, "Heaven-Returning Boots" (theft success rate: 94%), 1 piece of lower-tier divine god artifact, "Thousand Illusions Seal" (theft success rate: 95%), 1 piece of mid-tier divine god artifact, "Chaos Demon Armor" (theft success rate: 94%)... 1 piece of main god lower-tier treasure, "Chaos Corpse Statue" (theft success rate: 90%), 1 piece of main god lower-tier array, "Ten Directions Without Boundaries Array" (theft success rate: 90%), 1 piece of main god mid-tier treasure, "Fate's Straw Man" (theft success rate: 85%), 1 piece of main god upper-tier treasure, "False Inversion Wheel" (theft success rate: 80%), 1 piece of main god upper-tier treasure, "False Sky-Shielding Umbrella" (theft success rate: 80%), 8 main god lower-tier divine crystals (theft success rate: 99%), 5 main god mid-tier divine crystals (theft success rate: 99%), 3 main god upper-tier divine crystals (theft success rate: 99%).]

Zhou Zhan glanced at it briefly.

Then, he couldn't help but be startled.

Was Os's wealth really this vast?

A mere copy—yet it carried an entire set of true divine artifacts and four main god-level treasures?!

Did Os not fear dying and falling into enemy hands?

Or perhaps—

Os knew that this supreme continent invasion mission was of utmost importance to Him, yet He was also fiercely cautious of his own life, so He chose instead to entrust all these treasures to his copy, rather than risk his true form carrying them into the perilous venture?

Zhou Zhan believed his conjecture was very close to the truth.

There was no time to think.

Zhou Zhan glanced briefly at the effects of these treasures, then his gaze instantly locked onto the main god-tier artifact—the Faux Shadetop Umbrella.

[Artifact Name: Faux Shadetop Umbrella]

[Artifact Rank: Main God Tier]

[Artifact Effect: A replica of the Supreme Divine Instrument—the Shadetop Umbrella—capable of masking one's voice, scent, form, aura, traces, presence, and fate, erasing every possible trace of existence. It can block the vast majority of probes from main god-tier and lower-level entities.]

[Artifact Description: A casual creation of the Supreme God, lost during a war and later found in the Crimson Universe, eventually acquired by Os.

"An artifact created by the Supreme God?"

Zhou Zhan was stunned.

Yet he didn't dwell on it. Without hesitation, he used his daily one-time 100% chance of the Heart Thief ability to steal the Faux Shadetop Umbrella.

The next second—

And there it was—a gray, hazy great umbrella appearing suddenly in his hands.

The False Sky-Shielding Umbrella!

As the False Sky-Shielding Umbrella descended into Zhou Zhan’s grasp, the figure of Oss suddenly materialized before everyone’s eyes.

He stared blankly at his empty left hand, then blinked, his mind catching up with the horror:

"My Sky-Shielding Umbrella!"

Instinctively, he turned to look at Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, only to find both of them suddenly gone.

A terrible foreboding surged through Oss’s heart.

Then, the figures of Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, each holding the False Sky-Shielding Umbrella, appeared silently behind him. With one blade and one cudgel, they struck him down—severely wounded, hurled across billions of kilometers.

Pff!

Oss spat out a massive geyser of blood.

Shush!

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu instantly materialized before Os, each gripping their primary divine artifacts and delivering a brutal strike toward the enemy's head.

With that single blow—

Even if Os was now at the level of a Supreme God, he could not escape death.

Os saw this and his heart surged with terror.

"Wait!"

"Didn't you want to know why I too carry the bloodline of the Chaotic Human Race?"

He shouted urgently.
