Chapter 1527: Killing Beki! Innate Sacred Heart!

Chapter 1527: Kill Beqi! Primordial Sacred Heart!

At this moment, Zhou Zhan had already sensed the attacker's power growing increasingly feeble.

"You're not even a full saint's artifact—how useful can it really be?"

He chuckled softly.

The next instant,

He teleported instantly to a distance of roughly one light-year away from Beqi, then raised the Xuanyuan Divine Sword and slashed it twelve times at Beqi.

Twelve beams of Universal Law Star Sword energy shot forth, converging toward Beqi, sealing off every possible escape route.

Seeing he could not evade, Beqi gritted his teeth and pulled out a golden cloth from his world ring.

He held it aloft toward the sky, and instantly, the golden cloth swelled in the wind, expanding within a breath to become a vast, golden expanse—so large it could nearly blot out the heavens.

This immense golden cloth enveloped Beqi, shielding him from the onslaught of the Universal Law Star Sword attacks.

What met the eye was the first six beams of the Universal Law Star Sword, which, upon striking the golden great cloth, were perfectly deflected and absorbed.

Yet when the seventh beam touched the cloth, it bore its first, albeit minor, wound.

Then the eighth beam struck—its damage expanded, spreading like a creeping scar.

Then the ninth, then the tenth!

Crack!

The golden cloth, forged with the defense of a near-omnipotent will, shattered completely, unable to withstand the relentless advance of the subsequent beams of the Universal Law Star Sword.

Beck still attempted to use his half-saint artifact to block the final two beams.

But the divine power within him had already dwindled to near extinction after employing this near-omnipotent artifact—how could he possibly withstand such force?

Thus, the eleventh beam of the Universal Law Star Sword shattered his Blood Sovereign Demon Scythe, sending it flying into his body.

And finally, the last beam of star-sword energy sliced through his divine form, cleaving it in two.

"Ah!!"

Becky's scream echoed across the entire battlefield.

All the deities engaged in combat turned their eyes toward the sound, their attention drawn by the agony. When the blood god's warriors saw Becky's divine form split in two, their faces instantly turned pale.

Especially the near-omnipotent blood god currently battling the Universal Demon Lord cried out, "Sovereign!" and roared at Zhou Zhan:

"Great Emperor of the People! How dare you do this?! Our sovereign is the heir to the Crimson Sovereign, the future Crimson Supreme! You dare strike down our sovereign—what is your true intention?!"

"It has nothing to do with me," said Zhou Zhan, who had heard their words.

He spoke calmly, "I originally had no intention of killing your sovereign. But your sovereign has been utterly disgraceful—violating even the most basic rules of battle."

"So don't blame me—blame the king, the one who breaks all rules."

With those words, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in his hand plunged straight into Beki's brain.

Beki saw it all and his face fell into despair.

He had never imagined that Zhou Zhan, this madman, would dare to strike him down knowing full well that he was the heir to the Crimson Sovereign.

Did this man not fear the Crimson Sovereign's vengeance?

Even if the Supreme Will itself came forth, it would likely hesitate before taking his life—yet this man's resolve to kill him was so unwavering, so resolute.

Even the Supreme Will wouldn't be this ruthless!

If only I had never provoked him.

If I had never provoked him, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

As the Xuanyuan Divine Sword closed in, its tip inches from his own skull, Beki longed to struggle one final time before death. But the supreme divine power that had drained from within him was utterly spent—nothing could stand against the inevitable.

Frightened, he closed his eyes, refusing to gaze upon the scene of his impending demise.

And then—

A voice suddenly echoed within his mind.

The voice of the Supreme Will.

At the same time,

A voice also surfaced within Zhou Zhan’s consciousness.

[Zhou Zhan, spare Beki’s life. He is one of the heirs of the Crimson Sovereign. Do not kill him arbitrarily.]

Zhou Zhan seemed entirely unheeded by the Supreme Will’s words. With a single stroke, he plunged the blade straight through Beki’s skull, crushing the Supreme Divine Mandate within his brain into fine dust.

Beki’s divine form stiffened—then, instantly, his breath ceased.

Becky, die!

Zhou Zhan saw this relaxed expression and only then realized what had happened, gasping in surprise:

"Lord of the Supreme Will, did you just speak to me in my mind moments ago? I was engaged in a full-scale battle with this creature, utterly drained and unable to focus on anything beyond the fight—so I didn’t hear your words. What did you just say? Could you please repeat it?"

[Supreme Will: ……]

"Your Majesty!!!"

A thunderous roar came from afar, a near-omnipotent will-blood god, enraged beyond measure.

He fought with all his might, but fortunately, the power of the Universal Demon Sovereign was equally formidable. Even when he unleashed his full potential, he remained firmly outmatched.

The Universal Demon Sovereign still had the strength to send a message to Zhou Zhan.

[Damn, what a transcendence! Brother of the Common People, from now on, wherever you go, you're my brother, and I'm your younger brother. From this day forward, I won't claim to be your elder brother anymore.]

[Even the heir of the Crimson Sovereign dared to kill? Neither the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign nor the Spring-Autumn Law Sovereign would dare do such a thing.]

After the shock, the Ten Thousand Demonic Masters also grew concerned.

[By killing this Beke, we might feel a sense of satisfaction, but the consequences of such an act would be unbearable. The Crimson Lord will surely come after you, seeking retribution. You must prepare yourself well.]

[My younger brother will never abandon you. When the time comes, we'll simply claim it was us two who killed him together.]

[With us two taking the blame, even the Crimson Lord won't punish us too harshly. After all, we are both in reserve among the Supreme Lords. He will have to consider our status... he should, at the very least.]

As he spoke the last words, the Ten Thousand Demonic Masters began to doubt themselves.

The Crimson Lord was a being who operated without any constraints—entirely unlike the manner in which the Supreme Will functioned.

At this thought, the Ten Thousand Demonic Masters suddenly felt a surge of fear.

Yet he did not retract his words. Having already decided to share the blame with the Elder Brother of the Common People, he would not regret it.

And upon hearing this from the Ten Thousand Demonic Masters, Zhou Zhan could not help but feel a sense of exasperation.

However, this fellow's personality was indeed quite endearing, so Zhou Zhan did not deny it.

If he was to be recognized as the elder brother, then so be it.

To have a prospective High Lord as a little brother, thinking about it... was actually quite satisfying.

He looked toward the battlefield, discovering that his own vast army and the divine host of the Myriad Evil Legion were still locked in a fierce battle with the Blood God Legion under Becky's command.

Under the domain blessing of the demi-holy artifact, the Blood Sovereign Demonic Sickle, these fellows were barely able to pose a shred of a threat to their army.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhan directly extracted Becky's spoils of war.

One could only say that this fellow Becky truly deserved his reputation as a prospective Crimson Supreme.

The treasures upon his person, counting the Supreme Divine Artifacts alone, amounted to a full one hundred and more pieces.

Pseudo-Ultimate Will Realm treasures also numbered a full five pieces!

The demi-holy artifact, the Blood Sovereign Demonic Sickle, went without saying.

What most astonished Zhou Zhan was that he discovered within the other world's ring a treasure of supreme will.

This treasure was a golden plant shaped like an infant, exuding a fresh, pure fragrance. Zhou Zhan merely inhaled it for a single second, and instantly felt a remarkable restoration of the will power he had expended throughout the day.

"Such a precious item!"

Zhou Zhan's expression was one of astonishment.

He turned his gaze toward it.

The item information appeared.

[Item Name: Primordial Sacred Heart]

[Item Rank: Will Level – Upper]

[Item Effect: After being consumed by a being of supreme will, the Primordial Sacred Heart enables will regeneration upon the demise of that being.]

[Item Description: Originally a solitary, unclaimed treasure drifting through the ultimate void, it was accidentally encountered and preserved by Beki, who was seeking treasures within the ultimate void.]

[Note: Only a will possessing the Supreme Will Realm can claim ownership of this treasure.]
