Chapter 1354: Yinian's Divine Demon Talent! Yinian Defeated!

Chapter 1354: The Divine and Demonic Aptitude of One Thought! One Thought's Defeat!

Then, they simultaneously unleashed their supreme divine artifacts, all aimed directly at One Thought.

They knew well that as long as One Thought was eliminated, their entire army of copies would vanish instantly.

A cascade of celestial divine energies—each radiating in different hues—began to descend from the heavens: forces of cosmic might, boundary dominion, corrosion, inversion, and radiance, all converging with unrelenting force upon One Thought.

One Thought folded his hands together.

"One thought is illusion, one thought is reality!"

And in the very next instant, it was seen that both One Thought and his entire army of copies simultaneously transformed—from reality into illusion.

The five supreme divine artifacts, as if untouched by any force, effortlessly pierced through One Thought’s divine form and through the bodies of his entire legion of copies.

When the residual waves of those five supreme artifacts finally dissipated, Zhou and the others were left in stunned silence, realizing that One Thought—and his entire army of copies—had remained unharmed, untouched, whole.

No!

Not untouched.

Zhou Zhou's vision was extraordinary—he could see that the primordial divine power within Yī Niàn had already been reduced by more than half from that single strike.

"Such a divine, supernatural talent."

"But."

"How many more times can you withstand it?"

Tries laughed coldly.

Then, alongside the other top-tier main deities, he produced another artifact of the highest divine rank.

Yī Niàn's pupils contracted sharply, and without hesitation, he turned and fled.

The direction of his escape was precisely toward where Zhou Zhou stood.

Zhou Zhou shook his head at this.

"You and I are exactly the same in our methods—you should therefore know."

"If you wish me to be unable to catch you, I will absolutely be unable to catch you."

"Likewise."

"When you wish to catch me, you will also be absolutely unable to do so."

His mind flickered.

Master God's upper-tier spatial law technique—Spacetime Labyrinth!

The next instant, he saw countless overlapping corridors of space and time emerging subtly between himself and the oncoming Yī Niàn.

Yī Niàn, moving too fast to react, plunged directly into the labyrinth, only to become trapped within an endless maze of spatial corridors—unable to approach Zhou Zhou at all.

Zhou Zhou stood still, not moving an inch, gazing calmly at Yi Nian, his mind whispering in awe: "The Time God Dragon's Spatiotemporal Corridor technique—indeed, it's exceptionally effective."

By now, Yi Nian had also come to realize that, due to the existence of the Spatiotemporal Corridor, he was absolutely unreachable by Zhou Zhou.

He had already tried to flee—but it was too late.

Suddenly, five beams of divine light from the highest-tier divine artifacts descended from the heavens, directly targeting Yi Nian.

Yi Nian clenched his teeth, once again folding his hands and pressing the seal:

"One thought is illusion, one thought is reality!"

In the next instant, his divine form—and the bodies of his legion of replicated beings—once again became ethereal.

Yet this time, as the five beams of transcendent divine light struck his divine form, within mere moments, Yi Nian unleashed a scream of unbearable agony.

"Emperor of the People!"

"We will meet again!"

"Then I'll definitely..."

The rest of the words remained unspoken.

For He had already died.

And at the very moment of His death,

Zhou Zhou's vision was filled with lines of text.

[Congratulations, Master Jiaoyang! You have successfully won the Founding War.]

[You are now eligible to officially elevate your territory—the Jiaoyang Empire (Advanced)—to a Divine Nation-level Master Faction (Beginner). Would you like to proceed with the elevation immediately?]

"Yes!"

Zhou Zhou spoke without hesitation.

Then a smile bloomed upon his face.

After such prolonged struggle and effort,

He had finally attained the supreme dominion among all realms and universes.

The very next moment,

a column of celestial light descended, piercing the heavens and directly illuminating the territories of the Sunny Empire.

Every citizen of the Sunny Empire, upon lifting their gaze, seemed to glimpse a realm beyond all measure.

Within that sacred sanctuary, laws manifested freely, like rain falling from the sky.

Each drop of rain embodied a complete path of divine principle.

Simply gazing upon a single droplet, one could perceive boundless mysteries.

At that very instant, someone achieved a breakthrough in their power...

At this very moment, someone's intuitive understanding grew subtly and profoundly...

Someone grasped a new skill, even a new law of technique...

Someone received boundless inner essence, waiting only for a moment of accumulation to burst forth and soar to new heights!

Zhou Zhou naturally witnessed this scene.

A flicker of astonishment passed through his eyes.

Is this not the domain of the Supreme Will's highest authority?

Does ascending to the Divine Realm come with such benefits? How could this not be recorded in my bloodline's ancestral memory?

But he quickly realized.

Other race lords, when ascending to the Divine Realm, would never face such troublesome adversaries as the Chaotic Void Phantom Deities.

This very situation—likely—was a special reward from the Supreme Will, bestowed upon him and his people, for their outstanding performance.

He glanced at Teris and them.

And there, at the very moment they manifested within the Supreme Realm, they had already settled into meditation, beginning to grasp the supreme principles embedded within that realm.

Zhou Zhou smiled, not joining them in sitting in stillness to contemplate.

The Supreme Realm, after all.

His actual seat of the Divine Realm world was precisely within the Supreme Realm, constantly nourished by the downpour of its laws.

Though he, as the sovereign of the Divine Realm, could not directly manifest within the Supreme Realm itself, through his world of the Divine Realm, he was still perpetually influenced by its ambient essence.

Thus, for Teris and them, this moment was a rare and precious opportunity.

But for Zhou Zhou, it was nothing out of the ordinary—just a mundane part of daily life.

Meanwhile.

As the Proud Sun Empire was ascending to the rank of a Divine Realm at that very moment.

This astonishing phenomenon marking the ascension to a divine realm instantly captured the attention of all racial power factions.

When they discovered that the source of this spectacle was none other than the ascension of the Divine Realm from the Prajval Empire, they were utterly stunned.

"Ah!?"

"Has he truly ascended to the Divine Realm?!?"

"How long has the Celestial Sovereign been on the Supreme Continent, and already does he possess a Divine Realm-level master faction?! This will surely make the master factions who have spent tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years establishing their own divine realms feel deeply uneasy!"

"The Celestial Sovereign truly is the pioneer and harbinger of the New Era for all races—indeed, nothing short of extraordinary. He has accomplished such a monumental feat!"

"Amazing! Truly amazing!"

"The powerful bloodline races have always harbored deep apprehension toward Zhou Zhou. Now, with the Celestial Sovereign suddenly ascending to the status of Divine Realm Master, they will surely be plagued with sleepless nights and constant anxiety."

"It's no wonder the Celestial Sovereign didn't participate in this Race Sovereign Gathering. Clearly, he has been fully focused on preparing for his ascension to a Divine Realm. Ah-ha, this is a master faction that establishes a Divine Realm even before the Great Rivalry among the races begins. Such a faction will undoubtedly gain immense prestige before the Supreme Will. Compared to that, whether or not they join the Sovereign Gathering becomes utterly irrelevant."

"The phenomenon of the Celestial Sovereign ascending to a Divine Realm-level master faction is truly grand and majestic—so much so that it even triggered the manifestation of the Supreme Domain. I suspect many master-level beings who have ascended to Supreme Godhood have never managed to capture the Supreme Will's attention. The Supreme Will truly holds this young man in high regard."

……

Races and power factions from across the myriad realms are all speculating and discussing the news that the Celestial Emperor Sovereign has ascended to become the master of a divine realm-level master faction.

As expected.

This development will undoubtedly stir massive waves and upheavals among the myriad races.

And at this very moment—

After waiting for an endless time, Zhou Zhou finally received the long-sought-after hint that had been his deepest desire.
