Chapter 1624: Just Face Them Head-On and Fight!

Chapter 1624 Face Them, Smash Them!

Zhou Shiyi cast the corpse down before Zhou Shier, offering it as a grim spectacle to the assembly of quasi-supreme will realm powerhouses and supreme gods arrayed behind them.

Staring at the remains, which still radiated the potent aura of a supreme will realm being, the onlookers swallowed hard, their eyes wide with profound shock.

Their own captain had actually managed to slay a powerhouse of the supreme will realm?

He was merely a third-tier supreme god!

The sheer absurdity of it defied belief.

It was not entirely unheard of for a supreme god to best a supreme will realm adversary.

Yet, such rare feats were almost exclusively accomplished by quasi-supreme will realm masters—those 'supreme gods' who had already crossed the threshold into that exalted domain in some form.

And every single one of those figures possessed the nascent potential for will transcendence!

But for someone like their captain, who had not even reached the fourth tier of a supreme god, to butcher a supreme will realm entity while still a mere third-tier supreme god—that was a marvel they had only ever encountered in the ancient legends of the ultimate masters of will transcendence.

Could it be that their own captain harbored the potential to become a top-tier will-transcendent master?

That thought surged within their minds.

Then, upon gazing at Zhou Shiyi, their hearts flared with intense enthusiasm.

Especially those stronger beings who had only recently joined the team and still hadn't become citizens of the Prairielight Divine Nation, their hearts burned with longing.

To follow such a captain—there was absolutely no loss in it!

Once the captain achieved the rank of will-transcendent master, their own value would multiply exponentially. And who knows—perhaps one day they might even be promoted by the captain, ascending to the rank of Supreme Will Master.

Though the path to Supreme Will Master is arduous, if one has the guidance of a Will-Transcendent Master, their chances of success could rise by at least one to three times.

Ah, right.

The captain has always shown greater kindness and support toward teammates who have joined the Prairielight Divine Nation. Perhaps I could also join the captain's nation—strengthening the bond between us.

Many of the temporary allies thought this to themselves at that moment.

Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shizhong naturally knew at this moment the thoughts swirling within the temporary teammates present.

Yet it was precisely this purpose that brought them here.

In a world of strength, the stronger you are, the more supporters will stand by your side.

As a lord, playing the fool while devouring the tiger had never been part of his vocabulary.

He said nothing further, merely pointing at the corpses beneath his feet:

"I've already roughly examined this man's world ring. His name is Zi Kui Will—neither the Tian Xing Will nor the Xuan Luo Will we previously knew."

"It seems our assumption was correct. Deep within the Tian Jun Corpse Land, there truly exist not only the Tian Xing and Xuan Luo, but other supreme wills as well."

Zhou Shizhong nodded in agreement.

Then, with a swift motion of his right hand, he tossed the corpse directly into the first treasure vault within himself.

With no further words, the two continued forward, guiding the other teammates deeper into the unknown, gathering resources along the way.

During this journey,

they also encountered numerous Chaos Demons.

One could only say that this place—indeed the very deepest part of Tianjun's corpse realm—was home to Chaos Demons in quantities at least ten times greater than those found in the outer regions. And their strength was no less formidable; most were Chaos Demons at the peak of the Fourth Rank Celestial God tier, some even reaching the level of nearly Supreme Will. Most astonishingly, they had even encountered a Chaos Demon at the lower tier of Supreme Will.

Alas, this Chaos Demon was swiftly dispatched by Zhou Shiyi, who acted with swift precision and instinct.

The team members stared in disbelief, their jaws dropping.

Yet Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shiben were filled with genuine astonishment.

For from the body of this lower-tier Supreme Will Chaos Demon, they had recovered no less than 5,000 units of Chaos Divine Treasures!

The Chaos Divine Treasures from the nearly Supreme Will Chaos Demon amounted to only 500 units.

Those from the Fourth-Rank Supreme God Chaos Demons yielded a mere 200 units each.

And thus, from this single journey, they had amassed nearly ten thousand units of Chaos Divine Treasures.

This caused Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shier to exclaim inwardly that this was a supreme sanctuary for gathering Chaos Divine Treasures!

With this place at their disposal, he felt he could gather enough Chaos Divine Treasures today to satisfy the requirements for upgrading the territory.

Any surplus could easily be used to help Zhou Shiqi foster several elementary or even intermediate Main God Kingdoms.

Perfect!

Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shier breathed a collective sigh of relief on behalf of the original body.

In this manner, whether it was upgrading the territory, raising the tier of the Divine Kingdom, or supporting the Main God Kingdoms and even the Supreme Kingdoms of the two great universes, the original body should face no further obstacles.

Harboring such a contented mood, they began to search aggressively within the deepest recesses of Tianjun's burial ground.

......

The Underworld Domain.

After a night of cultivation, Zhou Zhan awakened, whereupon he first summoned the Heavenly Blade Will to his side to assist him, and then immediately contacted the Samsara Will.

"Brother."

"How's it going on your end?"

Zhou Zhan asked.

"Ha ha..." A booming laugh echoed from the Cyclical Will, "Younger brother, it seems they've been breached. All night long, they've been desperately searching for us, refusing to stop until they've killed us."

"It seems three Supreme Will-tier masters have perished—such a heavy blow to them."

"Ha ha..."

The Cyclical Will laughed again, unable to contain himself.

Zhou Zhan couldn't help but smile too.

But it wasn't surprising.

After all, those were three Supreme Will-tier masters!

Had any one of the factions taken this step—no matter how powerful, even if the Supreme Will and the Red Sovereign united—would have been shattered.

Such actions from them are entirely normal.

At this moment, the Cyclic Will spoke earnestly, "Brother."

"Now that they appear like this, if they find us, they will go to any lengths to destroy us."

"We should first avoid their direct attacks, and wait until their momentum fades before seeking trouble with them."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan nodded.

What the Cyclic Will said was naturally sound and reasonable.

But...

This was under the condition that His Will had not yet ascended to the rank of Lower Supreme Will.

Now, however...

"Brother."

Zhou Zhan smiled faintly. "My will has just ascended to the lower realm of Supreme Will."

"Oh—already reached the lower Supreme Will... What?!"

The Cycle Will had barely registered the initial shock, and upon realizing the truth, could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

"Yes, my will has only recently attained the lower realm of Supreme Will."

The Cycle Will opened his mouth wide, utterly at a loss for words.

That was the ultimate bottleneck in the ascension from Willful Immortal to Supreme Will!

Any supreme deity at that level had to endure tens of thousands—sometimes even hundreds of thousands—of years before gaining any real chance of breaking through.

Even then, the odds of failure remained overwhelmingly high.

Yet what about this esteemed younger brother of mine?

Just hours after claiming confidence in his promotion, he announced the very next day that he had already successfully ascended.

This is no ordinary bottleneck—how could anyone think it was merely the leap from Black Iron to Silver?

"Such speed?"

The Cycle Will couldn't help but ask.

The question came instinctively, and only after speaking did it strike him as awkward—like peering into his sibling's private affairs.

"It's not convenient to discuss."

The Cycle Will quickly interjected.

"There's nothing inconvenient at all," Zhou Zhan said carelessly, smiling. "My territory features a structure capable of time acceleration, which is why my promotion process has been noticeably faster."

What He said was naturally the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth.

In fact, He had not said anything wrong—indeed, the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth had truly helped Him save vast amounts of time. Without it, neither He nor His domain could have reached this state at this very moment.

"Ah, so that's why."

The Will of Cyclic Rebirth also suddenly understood.

He was well aware of such time-accelerating structures—indeed, He himself possessed one. Yet He did not use them often. For although these structures could save time, while dwelling within them, the surrounding rules were entirely dominated by the rule of time, rendering it impossible to perceive any other laws. Even if one could only grasp the rule of time, one could only acquire a single technique of time acceleration—useless in practice. Moreover, such structures could not enhance one's willpower. Thus, He did not rely heavily on them. He only entered them during periods of rest or when breaking through barriers that did not require deep contemplation of laws.

Yet He did not know.

Zhou Zhou's Palace of Cyclic Rebirth not only possessed time-acceleration capabilities, but also allowed those within to perceive the laws of the cosmos, and even train their willpower.

If the Will of Cyclic Rebirth were to learn of this, it might well be envious beyond measure.

Of course.

Though envious, the nature of the Cyclical Will would never resort to stealing or harming others for gain—no, at most, it would ask Zhou Zhou to grant it a few slots, allowing its subordinates to enter the Sacred Palace of the Cycle to practice and cultivate.

At that moment, the Cyclical Will suddenly snapped back to awareness, speaking in disbelief: "Younger brother, are you truly suggesting—"

"Yes."

Zhou Zhan said, "I intend to join forces with you, to completely eradicate these four Supreme Will beings of the Delusional Clan right within the Realm of the Afterlife."

"No need then for the Supreme Will to dispatch reinforcements."

"Brother, do you truly possess such confidence?"

The Cyclical Will asked seriously.

It knew well that even before his breakthrough, his younger brother had already achieved a strength comparable to a top-tier Supreme Will being.

Now, with his will having broken through, his power had surged dramatically—certainly capable of facing even stronger Supreme Will beings.

But the other side consisted of four immortals of the Delusion Clan, all at the Supreme Will Realm—two of them even at the Upper Supreme Will Realm. Even if his younger brother had dramatically enhanced his strength, he should not be able to easily defeat them, right?

That was precisely why he had asked this question.

"Brother, you know me well—I never undertake anything without certainty."

Zhou Zhan spoke earnestly.

The Cyclic Will pondered deeply.

At that moment,

Zhou Zhan added lightly, "By the way, Brother."

"A new Supreme Will Realm master has joined my forces."

"Though he has only just ascended to the Lower Supreme Will Realm, his combat power does not fall short of that of a Mid-level Supreme Will Realm master."

Upon hearing this, the Cyclic Will's eyes instantly brightened, and without hesitation, he declared, "Excellent. Then let's do it!"

Three strikes and four—no more.

And there's even Xian Di, this top-tier powerhouse, among them.

If they dare not face him, then he is no longer he.

When has his cyclical will ever feared anything?!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan also smiled, and then said calmly, "Then let us make our appearance."

"This time, no more tricks—no diverting the enemy's attention."

"Let us confront them head-on!"

"Ha ha ha, excellent!"

The cyclical will, stirred by Zhou Zhan's words, burned with passion and rage.

How long had it been since such a state of mind had arisen?

The cyclical will felt a pang of sentiment.

His own esteemed younger brother—hadn't he truly been right?

They didn't waste words; instead, they immediately settled on a rendezvous point and set off without delay.

Soon enough.

They met at a place known as "By the Lake of the Dark Moon."

Upon their meeting, the cyclical will gazed upon the vast army trailing behind Zhou Zhan and his forces, his face instantly revealing astonishment.

For in a single glance, he saw that Zhou Zhan had assembled 50 million divine beings, 2 billion true gods, 100,000 master gods, 200 supreme gods, and 20 nearly absolute wills!

Such an army surpassed any ordinary force of supreme wills.

Especially the 50 million divine beings—so many that even mid-tier supreme will forces had never seen such a concentration.

Well now.

The cyclical will stirred with quiet alarm.

When did my esteemed younger brother acquire such vast divine power?

At that very moment,

Zhou Zhan said, "Brother, let us remain here and emit our own aura, waiting for them to come."

"Very well."

The cyclical will nodded.

Then, without further concealment, both of them released their own auras into the air.

...

The Toxic Mist River.

The Unfearful King drifted alone through the Toxic Mist River, searching for the traces of Zhou Zhan and the cyclical will.

This Pyrotoxic Mist River is one of the most infamous forbidden zones in the Yellow Afterlife Realm. It is said that the misty waters here possess such lethal potency that even the highest gods would be utterly lost upon entering—ensnared, driven mad, and transformed into soulless, poisoned spirits. Even the mightiest beings of the Supreme Will Realm, though unharmed physically, would still need to shield themselves with their willpower, or else they too would be poisoned—though not instantly killed, it would nonetheless be an experience of profound agony and torment.

The Fearless King refused to enter this place.

Yet yesterday, when the Celestial Sovereign of the People single-handedly defeated three Supreme Will Realm warriors from his own faction, it struck a deep nerve within them, provoking furious outrage in the Fearless King.

After fruitlessly searching most regions of the Yellow Afterlife Realm, the Fearless King turned his gaze here—toward this perilous river.

He even disregarded the dangers of the Pyrotoxic Mist River and ventured into its depths, seeking the traces of the Celestial Sovereign of the People and the Cycle of Will.

As for the other three Supreme Will Realm warriors, they had already departed to search elsewhere.

"Celestial Sovereign! Cycle of Will!"

"I will catch you both—once I have you, you will neither be able to live nor die!"

The Fearless King, feeling discomfort spreading through his body, gritted his teeth and spoke with grim determination.

As the Commander of the Dusk Battlefield, he had once stood on equal footing with the Heavenly Punishment God, neither gaining nor losing in battle.

Never did He expect that merely to resolve the issue within the Yellow Springs Domain, a simple errand to the Yellow Springs Domain, would result in such a devastating loss—three Supreme Will-tier masters lost.

Where will His face go now?

Perhaps His superiors above will grow disheartened by this, and directly order Him to withdraw from the Dusk Battlefield, handing over command to others.

Then all His years of effort and dedication would have been for nothing!

He would by no means allow such a thing to happen!

At that very moment, He suddenly heard something. A flicker of joy flashed across His face, followed instantly by a deep, cold rage.

"Excellent!"

"Emperor of the People! Will of Cycles!"

"Let me come!"

"I, King Without Fear—Sakth, am coming to slaughter you!"

Shush!

His figure vanished instantly into the toxic mist river.
