Chapter 1566: Giant General Corpse!

Chapter 1566: The Corpse of the Gigantic General!

The Crimson Cosmos.

Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-Er had just led one ten thousand primary deities and twenty Supreme Deities to this realm.

At the very instant they arrived in the Crimson Cosmos, Zhou Shi-Shi, far away in the capital of the Succubus Deity Realm, instantly received the news of their arrival.

He had now succeeded Zhou Zhan, assuming the role of Supreme Deity of the Succubus Realm, and thus temporarily held dominion over the Realmscape Cube.

Upon sensing the sudden arrival of Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-Er, Zhou Shi-Shi immediately activated the Realmscape Cube.

In an instant,

Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-Er, along with their one ten thousand primary deities and twenty Supreme Deities, were transformed into the attire of the Crimson Deities of the Succubus Realm.

Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-Er exchanged a glance. When they saw each other's flawless, unbroken disguises, a smile bloomed upon their faces.

"This Realmscape Cube truly is a treasure of a being who has transcended will."

Zhou Shiyi sighed, "I couldn't spot a single flaw."

"An illusion so profound that even the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign cannot penetrate—how could we, mere mortals, possibly discern it?"

Zhou Shier shook his head and said, "Let's go. Don't waste time. Every moment spent early in reaching the Chaos Divine Treasure Mine will yield an extra unit of Chaos Divine Treasure."

"It seems you embody the workaholic persona of your true self."

Zhou Shiyi remained silent, caught off guard.

"That's just not wasting time on meaningless pursuits."

Zhou Shier shook his head in disagreement.

Zhou Shiyi's mouth twitched twice, though he remained silent, not contesting. Then, together, they led their host of divine beings, instantly teleporting outward toward the edge of the Crimson Cosmos.

From within the realm of the Demon Queen's Capital, Zhou Shifteen nodded slightly.

The matter between Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shier did not require further interference. Now, it was time for him to attend to his own affairs.

He immediately summoned the Red Lords to meet with him, and together they began preparing for the journey into the Chaotic Red Divine Realm, to eliminate Osse and his dominion.

...

Beyond the Great Red Cosmos.

Zhou Shi and Zhou Er, nearly unimpeded, pierced through the Great Cosmic Crystal Barrier of the Red Cosmos and arrived beyond it.

In the vast, ultimate void cosmos, what met the eye was an eerie and beautiful expanse of deep purple void—scenery so strange and sublime that Zhou Shi and Zhou Er could only barely perceive the distant, magnificent realms of other great cosmoses, through sheer willpower.

Even the Red Lords themselves could barely make out what lay beyond. The distance between them was truly staggering.

"This ultimate void may appear beautiful and enchanting, yet it harbors unseen dangers."

"Even we, beholding this void, feel a creeping sense of dread—an unmistakable sense of peril."

"It is inconceivable what perils Zhou San and Zhou Si might face as they venture deeper into this ultimate void."

Zhou Shi said, squinting his eyes.

He and Zhou Twelve were tasked with gathering Chaos Divine Treasures from the Chaos Divine Treasure Vein within the Chaotic God's Realm.

Zhou Thirteen and Zhou Fourteen, however, faced a far more daunting mission.

Their objective was to venture deep into the Ultimate Void Cosmos, seeking possibly hidden Ultimate Void Crystals and Chaos Divine Treasures within.

The dangers lurking there far surpassed those encountered when mining Chaos Divine Treasures near the Crimson Cosmos—both in magnitude and peril.

"Stop overthinking,"

"Focus on what we must do."

"Now, we must first disguise ourselves."

Zhou Twelve said.

Zhou Eleven nodded in agreement.

Immediately, they contacted Zhou Fifteen, instructing him to transform both himself and his subordinates into the appearance of a completely unfamiliar Crimson God.

They gathered the Chaos Divine Treasures within the Chaos Divine Mine Vein, with no intention of concealing their power. To avoid revealing their identities, they had to disguise themselves as other Crimson Divine Beings.

Thus, even if they encountered other Crimson Divine Beings within the Chaos Divine Mine Vein, those beings would have no way of recognizing them as originating from the Magma Demon Realm—only believing them to be other powerful Crimson Divine Beings.

After all the divine beings had transformed into unfamiliar forms of Crimson Divinity, they continued their journey toward the Chaos Divine Mine Vein.

Possessing the ultimate ability to traverse the void, their speed was extraordinary. In mere moments, they arrived at the sight of the Chaos Divine Mine Vein.

As they beheld it, both of them suddenly widened their eyes, as though witnessing something astonishing.

"Is the Chaos Divine Mine Vein really like this?"

"Unbelievable!"

Zhou Shiyi gasped in awe.

Zhou Shi'er nodded solemnly in agreement.

There, within the ultimate void cosmos, floated the corpse of a terrifying general, clad in an ancient silver armor, wearing an ancient silver helmet, and wielding a colossal sword—its length comparable to a hundred thousand worlds in diameter—still suspended in stillness.

He seemed to be an entity from the deepest reaches of the Ultimate Void Cosmos, having drifted here for unknown periods of time, spanning countless ages. And yet, this place was not his destination—it appeared as though he would drift on forever, until time itself ceased to flow.

At this moment, the chaotic divine and demonic aura emanating from him revealed his true identity.

This was the corpse of a Chaotic Divine Demon!

And not just any Chaotic Divine Demon—but one who had been overwhelmingly powerful in life!

This could be clearly discerned from the terrifying pressure radiating from his very being.

The cause of his death was unknown, and now his corpse had drifted to the edge of the Crimson Cosmos.

Zhou Shi-1 and Zhou Shi-2 exchanged a glance.

"An entity beyond the realm of willful transcendence."

Zhou Shi-1 said.

Zhou Shi-2 nodded.

They all sensed, within the other, a feeling akin to the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign.

Then Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-er looked again, more closely.

And there, upon the surface of this Chaos God-Monster's corpse, they saw countless holes—some new, some ancient. Within these holes, Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-er could faintly perceive beings actively working.

Among them were beings from the Crimson Great Cosmos, and others—species they could not identify—strange and unfamiliar.

Even beings possessing the bloodlines of countless races, like themselves, could not determine their origin. This proved only one thing.

These strange beings likely originated from other Great Cosmologies.

"The situation of this 'Chaos God Treasure Vein' is quite complex," said Zhou Shi-Yi.

"A corpse of a being who has transcended the realm of will naturally contains countless treasures—no matter how complex it may be."

Zhou Twelve spoke.

"Come, let's go take a look."

Without further delay, Zhou Eleven stepped forward, leading the way ahead.

Seeing this, Zhou Twelve also led his chief deities and divine beings toward the corpse.

Soon enough,

They arrived at the close proximity of the body.

At that moment,

Two deities radiating the aura of nearly supreme will emerged from a hole within the corpse and swiftly flew toward them.

"Stop! Speak up, what is it you have to say!"

They shouted.

Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shizhong glanced at them for a moment, but did not slow down, nor did they halt—instead, they flew forward, asking:

"What is it?"

They stared at these two beings of near-superconsciousness strength.

One of the near-superconsciousness beings radiated a crimson aura, clearly a power from the Crimson Great Universe;

The other, however, possessed a bizarre divine form composed of various limbs, its identity and origin utterly unknown to Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shizhong. Unsurprisingly, it must have come from another Great Universe.

"Order that you cease!"

Seeing that Zhou Shiyi and the others refused to stop heedlessly, the two near-superconsciousness beings erupted into fury.

When had two mere second-tier supreme deities dared to show such audacity?

To defy the commands of beings of near-superconsciousness?

Are you all mad? Are you trying to die?

They immediately decided to teach Zhou Shi and Zhou Er a lesson.

This crimson deity of near-absolute will moved first.

A crimson claw, bearing the terrifying power of tearing, surged forth toward Zhou Shi and Zhou Er.

With this single grasp, even a master of near-absolute will would suffer grievous injury if not careful.

Let alone two second-tier supreme gods.

This crimson being was utterly certain that Zhou Shi and Zhou Er would die beneath the force of his tearing.

Yet then he saw Zhou Shi and Zhou Er standing there, utterly unmoved, their expressions cold and indifferent.

Then—

Zhou Shi drew his divine sword from his side.

The sword at his side was a fourth-tier supreme artifact, named "Wu Tian Sword."

It was seized by Zhou Zhan from the race of beings from the Ultimate Void, and ever since, it had been stored in the First Treasury.

Among the myriad fourth-tier Supreme Sacred Artifacts housed within the First Treasury, there were indeed many, yet Zhou Shi-Ni did not meticulously select one—merely reached for it, and used it without hesitation.

Because.

The strength of Zhou Zhou and his various avatars did not lie in the array of artifacts they possessed, but in their very essence.

With a mere flick of his wrist, Zhou Shi-Ni launched a single sword.

This blade—

carried the power of one-tenth of the Wàn Fǎ Xīng Zhōng Palm.

A beam of swordlight, piercing the heavens and shattering the earth, erupted from the Wu Tian Sword and shot forth instantly, aimed directly at that crimson giant claw.

The two collided swiftly.

And then, the crimson divine being stood utterly stunned to witness how the claw he had confidently summoned—his own mastery of tearing the heavens—was effortlessly severed by Zhou Shi-Ni’s swordlight, vanishing into the Ultimate Void as if it had never existed.

And yet, after severing the Claw that tore the heavens, this blade's light continued on, unyielding, cutting straight toward the crimson deity.

The crimson deity's face suddenly twisted in alarm.

Even the cosmic warrior standing beside him showed no improvement in his expression.

He reacted with lightning speed, immediately taking action.

A domain erupted beneath his feet and swiftly spread outward, rapidly encompassing an area of a hundred thousand light-years.

Within this domain,

countless twisted, blood-soaked limbs and shattered bodies scattered across every corner—haunting, grotesque, and terrifying.

This was his most favored and most powerful technique: the Shattered Limbs Domain.

His domain had buried countless supreme deities, and even among the near-omnipotent will beings, no fewer than nine had been laid to rest within it.

With the accumulated power of so many fallen champions, the strength of his domain rendered most near-omnipotent will beings unable to resist. As for supreme deities below the level of near-omnipotence, they would dissolve in an instant within the Shattered Limbs Domain, becoming part of its very essence.

"Interesting."

"But that's all."

"Without achieving a qualitative transformation, potential remains limited. The future path to ascending to the Supreme Will Realm is impossible."

Zhou Shiyi offered a calm, reflective assessment, then a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

Second-tier Supreme God Law Technique – "Throughout the world, there is no land that does not belong to the king!"

"Unlocked."

He spoke softly.

No grand or spectacular manifestations of divine law erupted.

Yet this powerful being, a near-Supreme Will entity from another universe, was utterly stunned to discover that the fragmentary limb domain he had unleashed had silently dissolved and vanished—disappearing completely into the ultimate void within less than a breath.

"What kind of being is he?"

The stronger beings from another universe witnessed this scene and were struck with unparalleled shock and terror.

One word spoken, and the domain collapses!

Such a power—He had only seen it in a handful of the most elite near-omnipotent will cultivators, and even fewer among true omnipotent will cultivators.

Could this crimson deity before him be one of those supreme beings with near-omnipotent will cultivation strength?!

As for the second-tier supreme god aura he currently displayed—it was merely a disguise.

He thought this, and inwardly groaned.

What era is this? How could an elder still resort to playing the fool and pretending to be weak?

And the very scene just witnessed was also seen by the crimson deity standing beside him.

He instantly realized that this crimson deity was a being far beyond his own level—a true elite powerhouse, even if not yet at the rank of omnipotent will, he was undoubtedly close to it.

Thinking this, he...

Gazing once more at the terrifying blade light approaching, in the very next instant, He nearly collapsed to his knees, trembling with fear and screaming:

"Senior, please spare my life!!!"

"Junior, I've made a mistake!!!"

Shh!

The blade light reached his face, mere distance away from his forehead—only a single strand of hair separating them.

Though the blade's power was sharp and restrained, it sent cold sweat pouring down the crimson deity's brow, threatening to shatter his divine essence as it fled from his very body.

"Serve me, and I will spare your lives."

A calm, quiet voice echoed.

"We are willing to serve the Emperor!*2"

These two beings of nearly transcendent will instantly accepted without hesitation.

Two deities within their hearts even felt a subtle joy.

To bow to a master possessing the might of a top-tier near-superior will state—how could it possibly be a loss?

Though the price of freedom is higher, life itself is more precious.

At the same time,

Influenced by the advanced, singular master's talent—The Sovereign of Tranquility—the two newly appointed subordinates under Zhou Shiyi, who had just attained the near-superior will state, immediately reached a loyalty score of 90.

That is already a loyalty so profound it would be nearly impossible to betray.

And in just twelve more days, their loyalty will surpass 100, transforming them into zealous devotees of Zhou Zhou.

And in another twenty-two days, they will evolve from zealous followers to saints-level believers!

Then, no matter what calamity arises—no matter how it threatens their very existence or shatters their faith—they will remain utterly devoted to Zhou Zhou, forever steadfast in their loyalty.

"How about it?"

Zhou Eleven winked at Zhou Twelve. "With a single move, I have brought two more quasi-Supreme Will realm powerhouses into our Radiant Divine Kingdom!"

"Direct military deterrence is far faster than relying on the Chosen One or instigating defections, and there's no limit to how many times we can use it."

The corner of Zhou Twelve's mouth twitched.

He had successfully flaunted his prowess.

"Let's go over and ask about the situation."

"Perhaps they possess intelligence that can help us acquire more Chaos Divine Treasures."

Zhou Twelve said.

Zhou Eleven nodded in agreement.

The two of them then led the vast army and flew toward them.
