Chapter 1529: Faith Divine Talisman! Engaging the Ultimate Void Race Army!

Chapter 1529: Faith Symbol! Clash with the Ultimate Void Race Army!

When the Supreme Evil Master spoke, there was a tone of pride and satisfaction in his voice.

But Zhou Zhan dared not speak.

For the Supreme Will had remained silent.

In a flash of thought, Zhou Zhan decided to take responsibility, to yield.

"Great Will, Master, this great incident—mainly stemmed from my own fear of my future, which led me to act too impulsively. I beg your forgiveness and punishment."

He spoke meekly.

The Supreme Will sighed, then said:

"Alright. I've now understood the full account. This situation cannot be entirely blamed on you. Beke was indeed overly harsh."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan's heart leapt with relief.

But the next instant, the Voice of Supreme Will shifted its tone, "Yet you were too ruthless—you directly killed Beki."

"You promised me ten thousand pieces of Supreme Artifacts last time to atone for your sins against the Crimson Sovereign. I've already given five thousand to them."

The Voice of Supreme Will sighed.

The truth was only two thousand artifacts had been delivered. He spoke these words merely to scare Zhou Zhan into caution for the next time.

Yet upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan did not hesitate. From the very first vault of his own, he pulled out exactly fifty thousand Supreme Artifacts and handed them over.

"Lord of Supreme Will, I still have fifty thousand Supreme Artifacts here. I'll give them all to you right away. Take them first—just for now, as an emergency."

The moment those words left his lips,

not even the Wicked Demon Sovereign was stunned.

Five thousand more Supreme Artifacts? Even the Supreme Will himself stood still, stunned.

Didn't He already grant Himself ten thousand pieces of the Supreme Divine Artifacts last time? How short a time has passed, and now He's being bestowed so many more Supreme Divine Artifacts?

How many Supreme Divine Artifacts does this being truly possess?

Though his heart surged with astonishment,

on the surface, the Supreme Will remained utterly composed.

Receiving these fifty thousand Supreme Divine Artifacts, He closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Besides the Supreme Divine Artifacts, I also granted the Crimson Sovereign one million one-hundred thousand first-tier Supreme Divine Crystal shards."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan immediately reached into his first-tier treasure vault and pulled out five million first-tier Supreme Divine Crystal shards.

Yesterday alone, his harvest of Supreme Divine Crystals had reached over twenty million.

Five million first-tier Supreme Divine Crystal shards—truly nothing for Zhou Zhan.

The Supreme Will, upon seeing the world ring presented by Zhou Zhan, once again fell into deep contemplation.

He took it in hand, composed himself, and spoke calmly:

"Besides the Supreme Artifact and the Supreme God Crystal, I have also compensated the Red Lord with 10 million doses of Supreme God-level divine medicine."

Zhou Zhan: "..."

Even if He were the slowest of minds, he now understood that the other was demanding treasures from him.

Yet, after a moment's thought, he said: "Supreme Will, I do indeed possess 10 million doses of Supreme God-level divine medicine. However, after the Red Lord's recent assault, my 'Heart's Sacred Scripture' has been damaged, and my Firm Seal—a Will-level, lower-tier artifact—has been completely shattered. Might you be able to restore both of them for me?"

At the side, listening intently, the Ten Thousand Evil Demon Lord's eyes instantly widened.

Good heavens.

You're actually bargaining with the Supreme Will?

Do you truly know who you're speaking to?

Even more astonishing to the Ten Thousand Evil Demon Lord was that, upon hearing Zhou Zhan's words, the Supreme Will paused only briefly before agreeing without hesitation.

And there, with a single motion of his right hand, the 'Heart's Sacred Scripture'—a divine artifact of Will—flew into view before him.

The Supreme Will, with a gentle flick of its hand, saw pure white radiance surge forth from its form, weaving into the *Sutra of the Heart*. In mere moments, the *Sutra of the Heart*, which had just cracked open, was whole once more.

With a soft gesture, the *Sutra of the Heart* soared back into Zhou Zhan's hands.

Zhou Zhan stared at the restored scripture with a deep sense of relief, his breath finally easing.

He had hoped—deeply, truly—that through this *Sutra of the Heart*, he might one day ascend to the realm of Supreme Will, even achieving unprecedented leaps within it.

If anything had gone wrong with the *Sutra of the Heart*, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

At that very moment,

The Supreme Will spoke:

"Repairing the *Sutra of the Heart* is indeed simple."

"But the Sacred Seal is originally from another universe. And now, completely shattered—despite my power, I cannot restore it to its former state."

"Then, how about this—"

"I shall give you another treasure no less powerful than the Resolute Seal, but in return, you must give me ten million portions of divine-grade mineral."

"Will you accept this?"

"Of course I will!"

Zhou Zhan immediately agreed without hesitation.

Then, He directly produced the World Ring containing ten million portions of divine-grade mineral and handed it over to the Supreme Will. The Supreme Will received it, and with a simple flick of the right hand, a talisman appeared in His grasp, then floated before Zhou Zhan.

Zhou Zhan looked at it.

The talisman was entirely golden, its surface etched with incredibly intricate runes. These runes radiated immense willpower and faith energy, so overwhelming that even Zhou Zhan, possessing the strength of a near-omnipotent will, felt a deep sense of dread.

He gazed upon it with anticipation.

[Item Name: Talmud of Faith]

[Item Rank: Will-Level · Mid-tier]

[Power Effect: A supreme treasure forged from the pure faith of a great believer from another universe. It shields beings who carry the Faith Seal, protecting them from external mental influences.

The user may manipulate the Faith Seal to counteract mental control imposed upon other beings, even nullifying mental control wielded by entities at the Supreme Will level.]

[Item Description: A personal artifact belonging to a great believer. After the believer's demise, the accumulated faith throughout his life condensed into this protective seal, transforming it beyond its original form. Once merely a standard fourth-tier, highest-god-level item, it has now ascended to become a supreme treasure at the mid-level of the Will-tier.]

…

"Such a fine artifact!"

Zhou Zhan's eyes sparkled with excitement.

The Firm Seal was merely a lower-tier Will-class item.

This Faith Seal, however, belonged to the mid-tier of the Will-class—just one level above the Firm Seal.

Its only flaw was that it could only protect individual beings, unlike the Firm Seal, which could extend its effects to subordinates.

Yet Zhou Zhan already possessed the supreme domain-level technique "Rate of the Land, No Sovereignty"—a masterful domain rule that could entirely shield his subordinates from mental control by enemies. Thus, this limitation was, in practice, negligible.

"Thank you, Most High Will."

Zhou Zhan stared at the faith sigil for a moment, then with lingering affection tucked it away. He then bowed gratefully to the Most High Will.

To obtain a treasure of Will-level, mid-tier rank using mineral from the highest divine tier—well, he simply felt he had come out ahead. After all, the Most High Will did not lack divine-tier treasures at all, nor did it truly need near-superior will-tier artifacts. What it truly lacked were such transcendent will-tier relics.

The Most High Will nodded, then cautioned:

"From now on, do not take such risks again."

"This time, Red Lord spared your life. You survived only because He showed mercy. If He had not, even I would not have been able to save you."

"Yes, Most High Will."

Zhou Zhan nodded seriously. In truth, it was not for the lack of a certain boldness on Beke's part that the Most High Will would have taken action.

Now Beki was completely ruined, and from then on, he would never again make such impulsive decisions.

The Supreme Will nodded, then slowly faded away.

After the Supreme Will had entirely vanished, the Universal Demon Master approached Zhou Zhan with a face filled with shock.

"Is this... just that? Done?"

He said it in disbelief.

"What else could it be?"

Zhou Zhan smiled carelessly.

"That was a Red Sovereign Reserve—how could you have slain such a powerful figure, only for the Red Sovereign and the Supreme Will to simply let you off with no punishment?"

The Universal Demon Master remained utterly stunned.

"Your tone... are you suggesting I should be punished by these two masters?"

Zhou Zhan spoke with discontent.

"That's not it, I'm just too stunned."

Wan Xie Mo Zhu quickly shook his head.

Zhou Zhan didn't bother him, saying:

"The Supreme Will never punishes me excessively. In fact, I suspect it's still secretly praising me."

"Recently, in the struggle against the Red Master, the Supreme Will has been in a consistently disadvantaged position. Yet now, as a newly appointed candidate for Supreme Lord, I have managed to eliminate one of the Red Sovereign candidates under the Red Master's command."

"This is a great boost to the Supreme Will's prestige. Do you think the Supreme Will wouldn't be delighted?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Xie Mo Zhu also came to realize.

"You're absolutely right. If I were the Supreme Will, even if I publicly reprimanded you, I wouldn't necessarily feel proud of you."

Having said that.

The Supreme Demon Lord gazed at Zhou Zhan with envy, then after a moment's thought, sighed, "All of this is due to you alone."

"Only someone as confident and resolute as you would dare to personally slay the Reserve Red Sovereign. As for me or Spring Law Master—neither of us would have the courage to do so."

"Would the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign dare?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan asked curiously.

"He would." The Supreme Demon Lord nodded without hesitation. "That being is just as uncompromising as you—someone who cannot tolerate a single speck of dust. If he encountered someone like Beiki, he would certainly take it upon himself to eliminate them outright."

"But in his time, he was already famous far and wide, so few deities dared to act with such arrogance before him."

Zhou Zhan nodded in agreement.

After briefly clearing up the battlefield with the Supreme Demon Lord, they departed from the White Chen Void Realm.

Just as they stepped out of the realm, they were met by vast legions of ultimate void forces waiting beyond its borders.

They only glanced at them, and both Zhou Zhan and the Supreme Demon Lord immediately grew serious.

Only because this current army of ultimate void was vastly superior to any such force they had ever witnessed before.

Before them stood an army of ultimate void, whose number of ordinary deities alone reached a billion!

The number of true gods had soared to one hundred million!

The number of chief deities had reached ten thousand!

And the number of supreme deities had even reached one hundred!

Yet none of this made Zhou Zhan's expression serious.

What truly made Zhou Zhan's expression tighten were two figures standing before this vast army—clearly the leaders of this ultimate void force.

The leader on the left wore ice-blue armor, wielding an ice-blue spear, radiating an intensity of cold so sharp it could freeze the will of ordinary supreme deities merely by a glance.

The leader on the right wore a colorful robe, adorned with countless bags of various sizes and hues. From within these bags, faint and eerie calls of strange beasts echoed—some terrifying, some majestic, some mysterious, some melodious—causing living beings who heard them to wonder what strange creatures might be contained within each bag.

"A being of near-absolute will."

"And even two of them."

"The Void Emperor truly has high regard for me."

"To combat me, he's even summoned such formidable masters."

Zhou Zhan murmured to himself.

Wan Xie Magistrate also stared at Mengnan and Xila with serious expression.

"Brother Zhou, I might not be able to help you soon. Just now, I forcibly boosted my potential, pushing my strength into the quasi-omnipotent will level. Now I'm in a state of weakness—my current combat power even falls short of a regular fourth-tier supreme god."

"Even if I tried to assist you, it would probably only cause trouble."

"Hmm." Zhou Zhan nodded. He knew Wan Xie Magistrate wasn't lying. "You don't need to help me. Two beings at the quasi-omnipotent will level—should be manageable for me."

"Besides, I also want to test just how far my strength has truly reached."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xie Magistrate looked at Zhou Zhan with surprise, but after a moment's thought, said nothing.

He believed Zhou Zhan would not force himself.

If he said it could be done, then it must be possible.

At that very moment,

a being clad in icy blue armor, wielding an icy blue spear, spoke from the realm of near-absolute will:

"Imperial Sovereign of the People."

"We've been waiting for you."

The spear pointed directly at Zhou Zhan, and with cold precision, he declared:

"I, afflicted and summoned by the Emperor of the Void, come to take your life!"

"And me too,"

Sila smiled beside him.

"Then let's fight."

"Cut the nonsense."

Zhou Zhan grinned widely.

Then he drew the Xuanxuan Divine Sword, its tip pointing straight at the ultimate void army beyond.

"Soldiers, hear this command—attack!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

The celestial army of the Jiaoyang Divine Nation surged forward, charging toward their foes.

Though the enemy outnumbered them in every aspect of divine power, they felt no fear in their hearts. Not a single flicker of hesitation crossed their minds.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, Mengnan and Xila said nothing more, and immediately dispatched their armies forward.

The two forces clashed fiercely, engaging in bloody combat.

Zhou Zhan did not rush to act. Instead, he first produced the Bodhi Master and inquired whether the other side had any means to prevent his subversion.

The result was not surprising.

Yes, they did.

This meant that his abilities—Divine Mandate Summoning and "No Sovereign Above the Land"—were temporarily rendered ineffective.

He instantly activated Heart Theft, attempting to detect who among them was carrying an object capable of blocking his use of those powers. Yet, nothing appeared.

The enemy had clearly prepared countermeasures. Even his Heart Theft master talent, which should have allowed him to uncover any hidden items, revealed nothing at all.

"It seems we have no choice but to fight it out."

Zhou Zhan murmured to himself.

Within his heart there was no fear, only a grim sense that this battle would claim countless deities—perhaps even entire batches of the Supreme Gods.

Yet fortunately, He possessed means of resurrection, so the matter of revival after the battle did not weigh heavily upon him.

Then, with no further hesitation, He grasped the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, transformed into a streak of nine-colored light, and surged toward Mengnan and Xila with unyielding fury.
