Chapter 1403: Supreme God Battle!

Chapter 1403: The War Against the Supreme God!

If this strike lands with true force—

not only will Zhou Zhan perish on the spot,

but Zhou Sheng, Zhou Wu, Zhou Zheng, and all the other manifestations of Zhou Zhou, including the original entity itself, will be caught in the force of the immediate death law above, all vanishing in an instant.

And just then—

Zhou Wu, who had been quietly stationed within the Eternal Mother Ship, swiftly produced the Supreme God Puppet, Tian Ren, and activated it with the Supreme God power stored within the third-tier Supreme God crystal.

The next moment,

the small black-robed blade-wielding puppet, barely the size of a hand, suddenly stirred to life—its dead form reanimated—and with a sudden, violent motion, it slashed down with its black blade.

Shriek!

A blinding, celestial black blade of light erupted into existence!

The chaotic airflow and chaotic divine lightning throughout the entire Chaos Sea were severed in two by this unparalleled stroke, unable to recover for ages.

And the black dagger that had ambushed Zhou Zhan was violently repelled by this wave of black blade light, landing in the hands of a being clad in blood-red imperial robes, his body composed entirely of shadowy currents, with only his eyes blazing crimson.

He appeared ordinary, even devoid of any divine aura—so unimpressive that even the weakest lower-tier divine beings looked far more threatening by comparison.

Yet Zhou Zhan, whose senses were finely attuned, felt his instincts surge tenfold the moment his gaze met the being.

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

His intuition screamed a warning.

Zhou Zhan's expression grew serious.

Even this being, who held a third-tier supreme divine puppet in his hands, perceived danger—how terrifying must this creature truly be?

Third-tier supreme divine?!

Still a stronger Fourth-Class Supreme God?!

And just then.

He suddenly sensed the unmistakable crimson aura upon the other.

He hesitated for a single second before speaking:

"Crimson Supreme God?!"

He stared in disbelief toward the direction where the Source Gods were.

To summon a Crimson Supreme God to fight against him?

Is this a complete rejection of the Supreme Will?

On the other side,

"Infinite Blade Light?!"

"Divine Blade, Supreme God!"

The Shadow King, playing with the black dagger in his hand, murmured in astonishment.

Then, he laughed.

"Is this the last resort the Supreme Will has left for your self-defense?"

"Indeed, indeed."

"The Supreme Will truly cares for its new Supreme Lord candidate—bestowing such a powerful artifact upon this little one."

"A mere creature not even a Main God, and yet entrusted with the personal protection of a Third-Rank Supreme God."

"Hmph."

"Others among the Supreme Lord candidates will surely harbor resentment upon learning this."

"Ha... ha..."

He chuckled twice, then his expression returned to its calm, unshakable stillness.

"What of the puppet of the Heavenly Blade Supreme God?"

"Even if the true forms of the Heavenly Blade Supreme God and the Heavenly Sword Supreme God come today, I will personally slay this Crimson Enemy!"

"Otherwise, my 100% guaranteed kill rate would be shattered."

As he spoke,

The Crimson Supreme God of Shadow saw a puppet clad in black robes, wielding a blade, growing larger and larger—until it matched his own size.

"Heavenly Blade Supreme God, are you certain you wish to stand in my way?"

The Crimson Supreme God of Shadow eyed the Heavenly Blade Supreme God with a calculating, unkind gaze.

Having ascended to Supreme Godhood through the Law of Shadow and the Law of Instant Death, he had long earned the title of [Shadow Slayer Emperor] in his early days.

Though the Heavenly Blade Supreme God is merely a puppet, under his Law of Instant Death, he could utterly destroy the puppet—and in doing so, simultaneously annihilate the true form of the Heavenly Blade Supreme God.

This technique of extending punishment to the very essence—this was one of His signature feats, the very reason for His renown!

The Supreme Deity of Heavenly Blade, naturally, had heard of the Shadow King, the Supreme Deity of Crimson Flame. Yet He only replied calmly:

"Do you truly believe you can kill me?"

The Shadow King, Supreme Deity of Crimson Flame, froze at this.

He was a Fourth-Class Supreme Deity. The other was merely a Third-Class Supreme Deity.

Even if the latter had once triumphed over a Fourth-Class Supreme Deity—though such feats were rare, scattered like dust in the wind—would this one truly believe himself invincible?

"You weapon-wielders," the Shadow King's crimson eyes flared with fierce light, "always cling to the delusion of 'unstoppable across all realms.'

Yet you must also know—this very delusion may elevate you, or destroy you!"

Shriek!

A flash of crimson light tore through space and time.

The next instant, Zhou Zhan and the others were stunned to find that the head of Tianling, the Supreme God, had vanished entirely—leaving behind only a lifeless body without a head.

Not far away,

Yingjun, the Supreme God of Crimson, idly twirled a black dagger in his right hand and held the severed head of Tianling in his left, his expression cold and indifferent.

"I serve under the Crimson Sovereign, and rank among the top three Supreme Gods."

"I have slain sixteen Supreme Gods of the fourth rank!"

"Over a hundred Supreme Gods below the fourth rank—no less!"

"You, a mere third-rank Supreme God, think merely that you've defeated a fourth-rank Supreme God through a rank-defying feat, and that you can hope to defeat me? How foolish."

"Kill you!"

"Like slaughtering pigs!"

Speaking the last words.

Shadow King's crimson aura surged to the highest divine level, radiating an unimaginably terrifying killing intent.

The intensity of that killing aura was so profound that it naturally formed a killing domain stretching across a vast expanse—equal in scale to an entire universe.

Zhou Zhan felt a deep chill in his heart.

This creature...

The number of lives it has slaughtered must be enough to fill an entire universe.

No!

Perhaps even more than that!

The scale of such slaughter—no matter how many inheritances Zhou Zhou might possess—had never been heard of before.

He turned his gaze toward the Supreme God of Heavenly Blade.

He could feel it.

Since the loss of his head, the vitality of his divine form, the aura of his divine soul, and even his willpower were rapidly diminishing.

In no time at all, this Supreme God of Heavenly Blade's puppet would completely collapse.

Zhou Zhan furrowed his brows deeply.

He hadn't anticipated it.

The three-stage Supreme God puppet he had regarded as his ultimate reserve—had been defeated in a single strike by this Shadow King, Crimson Supreme God.

Now, what should he do?

Zhou Zhan thought to himself.

To command the other with my status as a reserve of the Supreme Lord and the Supreme Holy Sword would be utterly futile—after all, they serve the Master of Crimson, not the Supreme Will, and thus remain beyond my reach.

"Nevertheless,"

"I possess numerous Supreme Sacred Artifacts."

"Combined with my nascent Will, now entering the realm of Divine Immortality."

"My offensive, defensive, and willpower capabilities have barely reached the level of Supreme Deity."

"Furthermore, I possess vast quantities of Supreme Deity-tier treasures."

"Among these Supreme Deity-tier items, there are no shortage of three-stage and four-stage Supreme Deity artifacts."

"With such power at my side, I should be able to hold my own against this Shadow King, Supreme Deity of Crimson."

Zhou Zhan thought it over.

The Heavenly Operation Emperor has granted me an abundance of Supreme Deity-tier treasures and Supreme Sacred Artifacts.

With the vast, primordial divine power of a top-tier Supreme God, he still had the ability to command them.

Zhou Zhan suddenly realized that, at this moment, himself was nearly indistinguishable from a true Supreme God.

In terms of versatility and range of techniques, even many genuine Supreme Gods might fall short of Him.

Thinking this way,

Zhou Zhan felt a slight easing in his mind.

Power brings peace!

At that very instant,

a sudden upheaval occurred.

The headless divine form of the Heavenly Blade Supreme God, previously motionless, began to tremble subtly. Then, with a sudden movement, He raised his silver-long blade and slashed it toward the Shadow King's Crimson Supreme God!
