Chapter 1581: Taking Over the Ultimate Void Battlefield
Chapter 1581: Seizing Control of the Ultimate Void Battlefield
Zhou Shiyu's spirit jolted, his face lighting up with ecstatic joy.
Could it be the subsequent cultivation method of the Supreme Holy Body? And one that directly leads to the realm of Supreme Unfathomable Will?
Was it not then that, once he cultivated the Supreme Holy Body to the level of Supreme Unfathomable Will, he would naturally inherit the master's talent of that realm?
And yet, the true significance lay not in that at all.
Zhou Shiyu, already aware of the origins of the Supreme Holy Body, knew clearly that it was but a fragment of the eternal, unshakable lineage of the Supreme Immortal Realm!
And this small fragment—no matter how insignificant—had never been possessed by any of the great masters: the Wàn Xié Demon Sovereign, the Chunqi Legal Sovereign, or the Tiancheng Divine King. Only he, the newly appointed candidate for Supreme Sovereign, had inherited this very fragment from the beginning.
Zhou Shiyu did not know whether the Supreme Will had chosen him for some divine reason or simply trusted his potential. Still, it was undoubtedly a blessing.
Now, the Supreme Will was about to bestow upon him another fragment of the lineage.
Zhou Shiyu could not help but think of a sudden idea.
Could the Supreme Will truly be bestowing the throne of Supreme Lord upon Him?
Otherwise, how could it pass on the inheritance of eternal immortality so generously—right into His own hands?
There was no time to ponder the reasons behind it.
After all, the evidence was too scarce; any further reasoning would merely be idle speculation.
He extended his hands, solemnly accepting the golden orb from the Supreme Will.
Zhou Shixi watched the golden orb, his willpower subtly shifting.
The very next moment,
he saw the golden orb shatter into countless points of light, soaring around his divine form, then swiftly descending like returning swallows, pouring into the center of his brow, merging seamlessly into the core of his divine essence.
Zhou Shixi closed his eyes.
At the same time.
Zhou Zhou, far within the Ever-Cycling Sacred Palace, also closed his eyes, synchronizing with the absorption of this eternal and unshakable realm's inheritance.
After a long while.
Only then did Zhou Zhou slowly open his eyes.
A surge of excitement shimmered across his face.
"Marvelous!"
"Truly marvelous!"
"Is this indeed the inheritance that leads directly to the Eternal Unshakable Realm?"
"Compared to the inheritance of the Chaotic Will, this one contains far less content regarding the ascension to the Supreme Will Realm."
"Yet even in its brevity, it has given me a sudden, profound clarity."
"The experience of receiving this inheritance surpasses that of the Chaotic Will's Will Transcendence Realm inheritance!"
Zhou Zhou's eyes gleamed with astonishing brilliance.
Though he was currently only a Third-Class Supreme God, it was astonishingly true that he already possessed several top-tier inheritances in his hands.
Including the Inheritance of Supreme Will, the Inheritance of Will Transcendence, and the Inheritance of Supreme Will bestowed upon himself of Eternal Immortality.
Among these, the most elite were undoubtedly the Will Transcendence Inheritance from Chaotic Will, and the fragmented Inheritance of Eternal Immortality from Supreme Will.
Previously, after achieving the unification of the Chaotic Human Clan, he had unexpectedly obtained the Will Transcendence Inheritance from Chaotic Will, and ever since, he had diligently studied it.
And indeed, he had reaped tremendous benefits—otherwise, he could not have ascended so swiftly to the Third-Class Supreme God level.
Zhou Zhou's ascent from Second-Class to Third-Class Supreme God was even faster than his previous leap from First-Class to Second-Class. Aside from a few auxiliary cultivation artifacts, the Will Transcendence Inheritance from Chaotic Will clearly played a decisive role.
He had originally believed that the Will Transcendence Inheritance from Chaotic Will was already at the pinnacle.
But upon studying the Inheritance of Eternal Immortality, he suddenly felt that the Chaotic Will's inheritance seemed rather crude.
In the Eternal Immortality Inheritance, the key ascension nodes were explained simply and directly—while the Will Transcendence Inheritance from Chaotic Will was convoluted and utterly incomprehensible.
Once these two were compared side by side, the gap became unmistakably clear.
"With this partial inheritance of the Ever-Immutable Realm, my chances of advancing to the Supreme Will Realm will at least increase by threefold!"
Zhou Zhou's eyes gleamed with excitement.
He was utterly confident in this speculation—indeed, absolutely certain.
After all, the inheritance of the Ever-Immutable Realm is that powerful!
It's like having a university-level mathematical genius solve a high school student's math problem.
Is that still a problem?
A glance is enough to reveal the solution—how could it possibly be anything else?
"Thank you, Most High Will Lord, for bestowing this technique!"
"This is exactly what I've been seeking."
Zhou Zhou thanked him.
The Supreme Will smiled slightly, clearly expecting Zhou Zhou's response.
Then it asked:
"Regarding the inheritance of the Yellow Springs Will—how is your preparation progressing?"
"Reporting to the Majesty."
"Already, a subordinate has dispatched a copy to the Yellow Springs."
Zhou Zhou spoke respectfully.
"We are striving to secure the inheritance of the Yellow Springs Will."
"Our powerful lineage from the Supreme Great Cosmos does not wish to fall into the hands of the deluded race or other foreign tribes."
"If one day they wield the techniques of the Yellow Springs Will and come against us, it would be truly repulsive to think of."
The Supreme Will chuckled lightly.
"I will definitely obtain it!"
Zhou Zhou pledged firmly.
The Supreme Will nodded, clearly confident in Zhou Zhou's strength.
He knew that with Zhou Zhou's capabilities, finding a rival among the Supreme Gods would be exceedingly rare.
Even among the highest echelons, he might well consider Zhou Zhou the first among them.
And the Yellow Springs Heritage Site—a transmission ground accessible only to Supreme Gods—would be a perfect fit for Zhou Zhou's avatar.
Still, for caution, He added, "I know your strength is sufficient, but be careful nonetheless."
"The Void Illusion Clan operates within the Conceptual God's transcendent system."
"Their methods are strange and unpredictable. Even if you are vastly stronger than them, a single misstep might have you ensnared by their tricks."
"Remember not to slack off when the time comes."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Zhou nodded.
The Supreme Will did likewise, then waved a hand. "Go ahead. The war is not yet over. You two should enter and gain some practical experience."
"Let me see how far you've come in the past few days."
"Rest assured."
"Supreme Will Beings of the Ultimate Void Clan will be watched by our Supreme Will Beings, and will not dare to interfere with you."
"After this war ends, you may do whatever you wish."
"By the way."
"There's one more thing."
"This Ultimate Void Battlefield was conquered by you. Once this current war has fully subsided, you may take over the position of the Supreme Evil Demon Lord and assume control of this battlefield."
"While this Ultimate Void Battlefield may seem isolated, it holds countless benefits."
"Not to mention the abundant ascension-energy-rich Void Sanctuaries hidden within it."
"The battlefield itself also possesses the unique ability to attract and gather unclaimed treasures drifting freely through the Ultimate Void beyond the realm."
"Each year, the Supreme Evil Demon Lord can draw in vast numbers of such unclaimed artifacts from the Ultimate Void Cosmos—among them, treasures of the Supreme God Rank, and occasionally even artifacts of the Supreme Will Realm."
"Simply through this one source of acquisition, the Supreme Evil Demon Lord has amassed immense power and foundation."
"I am certain that once you take control of this Ultimate Void Battlefield, you will gather more and better treasures than the Supreme Evil Demon Lord ever could."
The Supreme Will smiled gently at Zhou Shixi.
He was well aware of the extraordinary fortune carried by his heir, and how exceptionally skilled he was at obtaining rare treasures.
If, each year, the Supreme Demon Lord could obtain a single item through the Ultimate Void Battlefield, then when the Great Sovereign of Life took control, the number of treasures he could amass would surely reach a staggering hundred.
This is the terrifying power of the Great Sovereign of Life in gathering treasures!
Otherwise, where did he acquire all these Supreme Master Artifacts and Supreme Divine Artifacts?
Zhou Shiyu's face flickered with hesitation.
The Supreme Will immediately sensed what he was struggling with.
After all, the Supreme Demon Lord had already declared himself as the Great Sovereign of Life's subordinate.
Now, as the elder brother, it felt strangely unnatural—like he was encroaching upon his younger brother's territory.
"There's no need to overthink it."
"This matter has already been discussed with the Supreme Demon Lord. He has already agreed."
The Supreme Will stated.
Indeed, with His status, even without consulting the Master of All Evil Demons, He could have directly assigned the Ultimate Void Battlefield to Zhou Zhou—there would have been nothing to object.
For the Ultimate Void Battlefield was originally forged by the Supreme Will; He could simply grant it to whomever He wished.
To even ask the Master of All Evil Demons was already a gesture of great consideration toward him.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shisei could only remain silent.
If the Master of All Evil Demons has agreed, then there is no need for evasion.
After all, the Ultimate Void Battlefield truly is a treasure of immense value.
To claim it is not desired would be utterly hypocritical.
"Then this matter is settled. Let us go to the battlefield with the Master of All Evil Demons."
The Supreme Will spoke.
"Yes, Lord."
Zhou Shiliu nodded, then departed.
The Supreme Will gazed at the retreating figure of Zhou Shiliu, then back at the world ring in his hand, a faint smile playing upon his face.
"Imperial Sovereign of the People."
"The inheritance of the Ever-Enduring Immortality is indeed excellent."
"But not every deity who has cultivated the inheritance of the Ever-Enduring Immortality can reach the pinnacle of that supreme realm."
"Even I, who possess the inheritances of both the Illusory and True Realms, with multiple inheritances of the Ever-Enduring Immortality in my grasp, have still remained stagnant at this level for a long time, unable to attain such sovereign status."
"Do not underestimate the difficulty of ascending to that level."
The Supreme Will murmured softly.
...
On the other side.
After Zhou Shixi returned, he first found the Master of Ten Thousand Evil Deities and informed him that the Supreme Will wished for the two of them to enter the battlefield and test their strength.
The Master of Ten Thousand Evil Deities immediately grasped the meaning behind the Supreme Will's words.
This was a test—of them.
"No problem."
"Let's go, brother."
The Master of Ten Thousand Evil Deities spoke with unreserved enthusiasm.
"Wait."
Zhou Shixi stopped him and asked, "Just now, the Supreme Will told me about the Ultimate Void Battlefield."
"Brother,"
The Master of Ten Thousand Evil Deities smiled and raised his hand, "In truth, I've grown utterly bored with the Ultimate Void Battlefield."
"I have stayed in this place for too long—so long that I nearly came to believe I would only escape by dying here. Had it not been for the stubborn resolve that once burned within me, I might have left long ago and lived the life I truly desired."
"Now that my elder brother has arrived, and that you are far more suited to lead this place than I ever could have been, to entrust it to you is the very thing I have longed for."
The Supreme Demon Master sighed, "My elder brother, you know—before I was chosen as a candidate for the Supreme Lordship, I was merely a Sealer of Evil."
"My greatest passion was using my mastery of sealing to accompany my companions across the myriad realms, sealing away the demons and monsters of every universe, bringing peace to all worlds from the terrors of evil."
"Now, at last, I can finally live the life I have always wanted. Please, do not burden me again with this responsibility."
"Still, I must say—few demons have emerged across the multiverses these days."
"I intend to journey into the Ultimate Void Cosmos, to explore other great universes and witness their unique wonders."
As he spoke, a radiant light shimmered in his eyes. "I've grown weary of the Supreme Cosmos. It's time I stepped beyond its boundaries."
Zhou Shixi stared at him for a long while, then slowly nodded.
"Very well. Then I shall remain here."
"Should you ever need any assistance in the future, just speak up—Brother, anything I can do, I will surely do for you!"
"That I'll remember, brother."
Wan Xie Mo Zhu laughed.
"By coincidence, I have several duplicates stationed within the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos."
"If you ever find yourself in difficulty while traveling through the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos, feel free to reach out to them for aid."
Zhou Shiyu added.
Then he sent Wan Xie Mo Zhu the personal terminal numbers of Zhou Sizheng and Zhou Sida.
"Thank you, brother."
Wan Xie Mo Zhu smiled, not refusing, but eagerly recording the numbers of Zhou Sizheng and Zhou Sida.
After all, who knows—what if one day it would truly come in handy?
The Ultimate Void Cosmic Universe is so dangerous that even now, with him at the peak of a fourth-tier Supreme God, he cannot wander freely within it.
Having more self-preserving measures is undoubtedly beneficial.
He would naturally not refuse.
With no further words, the two instantly entered the battlefield together.
"Brother, how about we see who can eliminate more enemies?"
"As long as the number of enemies I kill is one-tenth of yours, I win!"
The Master of Ten Thousand Evil proposed.
"Alright!"
A slight smile curled at Zhou Shiyu's lips as he agreed.
Upon hearing this, the Master of Ten Thousand Evil's eyes lit up.
Big brother actually agreed to it.
Even though Big Brother possessed the formidable strength of a top-tier Quasi-Supreme Will Realm expert, he himself was a fourth-tier Supreme God after all, armed with numerous methods and trump cards bestowed upon him by Lord Supreme Will; no matter how he looked at it, losing this match seemed utterly impossible.
Could Big Brother be letting him win? Just to make him happy?
Whatever!
He would win first and think about it later.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons felt that victory was already firmly within his grasp, and not wanting to waste a single moment, he dashed straight into the midst of the enemy crowd without another word, beginning a reckless slaughter.
In stark contrast to the rushing Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.
Zhou Shiliu appeared far more leisurely and unhurried.
He did not even stir from his position, merely maintaining his power at the Quasi-Supreme Will Realm as he struck out, palm after palm, toward the dense gatherings of the enemy.
With every single strike of his palm, a vast multitude of enemies fell dead!
Among them were the Supreme Deities, even beings at the threshold of the Unsurpassable Will Realm!
Of course, there were also Principal Deities, True Deities, and ordinary spirits.
Yet no matter how vast the gap in their power, before the Wandering Star of the Ten Thousand Laws held by Zhou Shiyu, they all met the same end—a level of equality among mortals, a final fall.
At this moment, the Supreme Deity and the ordinary spirit seemed no different.
On the other side, the Primordial Demon Lord was engaged in slaughter, occasionally glancing over and seeing this scene.
When he saw Zhou Shiyu dispatching the Supreme Deity as if killing a chicken, he went utterly stunned.
"This... this is nothing but nonsense!"
The Primordial Demon Lord's lips twitched twice.
