522: Decisive Battle - Lord of the Planes

The Abyss's thoughts were seen through, but it showed no anger.

"Indeed, since you already understand, you should understand even more that this is your best chance, otherwise, you will forever be under the control of the Star Realm Will."

Heaven's Will fell silent.

The Angels, however, grew anxious. This Abyss clearly harbored ill intentions, but they couldn't sway Heaven's Will, nor could they move, being imprisoned by the worlds will.

"But if we become an existence like the Star Realm Will, will we still have our self?" Heaven's Will suddenly asked.

The Abyss understood his meaning: the stronger the plane, the more diluted its self would become, thus losing its current freedom.

A projection was cast by the Abyss.

It was a scene of Lin Ye battling countless demonic creatures.

Siviya and the Holy Angels naturally recognized Lin Ye, knowing he was fighting in Hell.

They hadn't expected Lin Ye to be trapped in the Abyss.

"Do you see? Divine Battle Method. If you and I undergo Fusion, and then we devour and undergo Fusion with him, using the Divine Battle Method to refine our will, then we won't lose our self."

The Abyss said.

Heaven's Will was tempted.

With the Divine Battle Method, him, and the Abyss, achieving a powerful plane would be effortless.

"So that's it. This kid has tied you down, forcing you to undergo Fusion with me to break the deadlock. After our Fusion, we'll be able to firmly suppress him, devour, and undergo Fusion with him. It seems my luck isn't bad."

Heaven's Will understood everything.

He felt a bit fortunate in his heart, that he had done nothing and still reaped the benefits, which was a kind of luck.

"It's good that you understand."

The Abyss was extremely unwilling internally.

If not for this sudden news, why would it share the spoils of war with Heaven's Will?

But without doing so, he couldn't suppress Lin Ye.

What made him decide was Lin Ye's promotion speed. As countless demonic creatures fell, their true Souls were actually absorbed by him, and his Divine Battle Method was constantly strengthening.

If they continued the stalemate, the increasingly powerful him would inevitably destroy it.

That's why he had no choice but to cooperate with Heaven's Will.

"Good."

The boundless Heaven's Will condensed, continuously merging into the Abyss's body.

"No."

Siviya tried to stop it.

The Void Divine Kingdom condensed the power of countless Angels and the abilities of the Holy Angels, forming the Nine Heavens Divine Court. Holy Light illuminated everything and destroyed everything.

Under this desperate outburst, Heaven's Will was briefly stopped, and the Abyss was even blasted away.

"My children, you actually betrayed me."

Heaven's Will hadn't expected the Angel Clan to choose to oppose him.

Siviya said nothing, holy swords shot out from the Divine Court, intending to punish the Abyss and rescue Lin Ye.

Heaven's Will was enraged.

Under his control, the Holy Light became unstable, and the Angels' support was cut off.

The Divine Court condensed by Siviya slowly dissipated.

"I'll deal with you later."

Heaven's Will said coldly.

Ignoring Siviya, who was still trying, he continued to undergo Fusion with the Abyss.

The Fusion of the Abyss and Heaven's Will was not just a Fusion of wills; the two realms were also undergoing Fusion.

The Tenth Layer of the Celestial Realm and the Endless Abyss collided in the void, intertwining with each other.

Hell and the other layers of the Celestial Realm were also doing the same.

Countless living beings died due to the massive changes in the world.

"Heaven! It has changed."

"Is the world going to be destroyed?"

The living beings were filled with immense fear.

The Venerables knew a thing or two, but knowing more only made them less happy.

"If the Abyss and the Celestial Realm undergo Fusion, then all our efforts will be in vain."

The newly ascended will take power, and all order will be rebuilt.

In this upheaval, who could remain unscathed?

Those Great Worlds would all become resources for the new nobles to ascend.

"Star Realm Will, why do you tolerate their betrayal?"

Many Venerables were puzzled.

They didn't understand why the Star Realm Will allowed them to devour his power.

Despair spread everywhere.

This earth-shattering change lasted for a long time.

Until ~

A seven-foot figure stood above the Star Realm.

He was incredibly tiny, yet he was profoundly reflected in the hearts of all living beings.

His majesty made the creatures involuntarily kneel and worship this figure.

"Lord of the Planes."

This term was born in everyone's hearts, and they uttered it involuntarily.

But their reverence did not bring the Lord of the Planes's benevolence.

The Star Realm shook violently, and the Lord of the Planes swept across everything.

He greedily integrated the worlds of the Star Realm into his body, piece by piece.

"Star Realm, do you see? I will be on equal footing with you."

The newborn Lord of the Planes said arrogantly.

But no one responded to him.

Living beings died one by one; even Venerables could only hold on for a few more breaths.

The Star Realm also remained motionless, giving him no response.

"How boring. Is your self already so dispersed?"

The Lord of the Planes shook his head.

He knew the Star Realm Will was dispersed, but he hadn't expected that even in the face of Life and Death, it hadn't condensed a self.

"Perhaps, for you, losing power is also a good thing."

The Lord of the Planes said.

Perhaps after a large portion of the world separated, the Star Realm Will would be able to awaken.

This was a kind of helplessness.

Too much power yet unable to control it, the self dispersed, unable to awaken, in a state of confusion.

"The separation of the universe allowed you to linger for a while, creating the Celestial Realm and Hell. Now, my separation will also make you very happy, I presume."

The Lord of the Planes said.

After his promotion, he understood everything.

It turned out that the worlds will indulged him so much because its power was too strong.

If it didn't separate, it would eventually be destroyed as its power grew stronger and stronger.

"The Divine Battle Method is too important. Fortunately, there's a variable. With him, I won't follow your old path."

The Lord of the Planes looked at Lin Ye.

He was still fighting against the endless demonic beings.

"I still have to thank you, otherwise, I'm afraid I would also follow the Star Realm's old path."

The Lord of the Planes was all smiles.

A large hand descended from the sky, seizing Lin Ye.

Lin Ye struggled.

"Undergo Fusion with me," the Lord of the Planes said.

"Delusional."

Lin Ye burned his own small world.

Better to be a shattered jade than a complete tile.

Undergoing Fusion with others, losing his self—how was that different from Death?

He didn't want this.

He wanted to be his own master.

Not someone else's slave.

But the power gap was too great.

Having undergone Fusion with Heaven's Will, he was already powerless.

"Roar ~"

A dragon's roar echoed through the sky.

A golden divine dragon soared into the heavens.

"Boss."

Xiao Bai's voice rang out.

"Xiao Bai."

Lin Ye was overjoyed.

Xiao Bai transformed into a stream of light, about to merge into Lin Ye's body.

The Lord of the Planes tried to stop it, but he was a step too late.

The Fusion, rekindled after many years, began.

Golden light shone brightly.

When it dissipated, a majestic figure appeared.

He was tall and upright, exuding an unparalleled majesty.

His skin shimmered with a golden light, as if forged from pure gold, and every inch of his muscle contained endless power.

His face had distinct contours, as if carved by a knife and chisel, and his deep eyes, like an abyss, radiated a mysterious and majestic light.

His hair burned like golden flames, flowing in the wind, exuding a wild aura.

His hands and feet had sharp claws, which gleamed with a cold light, as if they could easily tear everything apart.

He wore a golden dragon robe, embroidered with nine lifelike dragons. Each dragon was baring its fangs and claws, as if about to fly out of the robe.

A golden belt was tied around his waist, inlaid with various gemstones that sparkled with brilliant light. Mysterious runes grew on his skin, as if they could carry him soaring above the nine heavens.

Xiao Bai's years of secluded cultivation had allowed him to reach the Supreme level.

This was also why the Dragon race was so secretive.

This was a true Heavenly Mandate Dragon God.

But now, under crisis, Xiao Bai had no choice but to end his seclusion.

And fortunately, he came, only then did Lin Ye have the power to face the Lord of the Planes.

"Not enough, not enough, still not enough."

Lin Ye knew that if it was just like this, he still wouldn't be able to defeat the Lord of the Planes.

This was indeed the case.

The Lord of the Planes made his move.

A casual strike caused the heavens and earth to collapse.

The void itself was annihilated.

Lin Ye struggled to resist.

His powerful physical body was like paper against the Lord of the Planes.

"Be good and undergo Fusion with us."

The Lord of the Planes laughed wildly.

All variables had gathered, and the dust had settled, yet they still couldn't stop him.

He would ultimately succeed.

.........

"Undying Venerable can't hold on. If he falls, we will all be devoured by that Lord of the Planes, whatever kind of Fusion monster he is."

"This is a world-ending war. Are we ultimately destined to be the side that is destroyed?"

"Everything is over."

The Venerables were incredibly pessimistic.

Everyone knew that the newborn Lord of the Planes was a murderous individual; how could he spare them?

He wanted to shape his own plane and create his own race of Life.

Everyone was filled with despair.

Only the Demons were extremely happy now.

"We are the loyal subjects, and we will become the masters of the new world."

.........

"I must help master break the deadlock."

Vega knew that perhaps his master needed assistance from other powers.

"True Souls, true Souls are needed. As long as there are true Souls, master can win."

Vega understood that true Souls were the only thing that could help Lin Ye.

He transmitted the information about the true Soul collection array.

Sacrifice Power transmitted this information to every Venerable.

At the same time, there was a message.

"Collect true Souls and contribute them to Undying Venerable; only then can he win."

The Venerables who received the message discussed animatedly.

"Everyone knows Undying Venerable's temperament very well. If that Lord of the Planes, whatever kind of Fusion monster he is, wins, we will all become his food. But if Undying Venerable wins, at least there's still hope for survival."

"Yes, Undying Venerable's stance is consistent with ours."

"Helping him is helping ourselves."

The Venerables who didn't want to die immediately began to act, searching everywhere for true Souls.

Coincidentally, many Venerables had unfortunately fallen during the Lord of the Planes's previous attack, and their true Souls were scattered everywhere, providing more opportunities for Undying Venerable.

The Divine race hesitated for a moment and did not offer aid.

Both sides were their enemies.

The Demons were also like this; they were the Lord of the Planes's people.

And the allied forces set their sights on them.

Siviya, knowing that true Souls could help Lin Ye, charged towards the Divine race.

The allied forces attacked the Demons without mercy.

A bloody battle began.

Not just Lin Ye's bloody battle.

But also the bloody battle of all the heavens and myriad realms.

How could the crippled Demons and Divine race be a match for the Angels and the allied Venerables?

True Souls, collected one by one, merged into Lin Ye's body.

Lin Ye's aura grew stronger and stronger.

"Damned insects."

The Lord of the Planes grew anxious.

He wanted to interrupt the transmission.

"Too late."

The strengthened Lin Ye, with his increasingly refined Divine Battle Method, was already capable of contending with the Lord of the Planes.

Gradually, more and more true Souls merged in.

Divine Battle Method (Level 3).

When the Divine Battle Method reached Level 3, Lin Ye's Soul was sublimating.

His consciousness instantly merged with the entire world. He could perceive the existence of every Life, the rustle of every breeze, the twinkle of every star. He controlled the power of the world, omnipotent.

With a gentle wave of his finger, he could change the weather, letting sunlight illuminate the earth or letting rain pour down. He could move mountains, change the course of rivers, creating beautiful natural landscapes. He could also bestow Life, making withered flowers bloom again and resurrecting dead creatures.

"No, impossible!" The Lord of the Planes, like a madman, frantically attacked Lin Ye.

But the Divine Battle Method merely shook slightly, preventing him from approaching.

"Excellent."

All the Venerables who had made efforts were excited to see this.

The situation had reversed.

"No, it won't be. The Abyss will ultimately win."

The Demons couldn't believe it.

And the surviving members of the Divine race were stunned.

It no longer mattered to them who won between the two sides.

"Destiny River."

All the Destiny Rivers of the Star Realm were summoned, rushing towards Lin Ye in unison.

Lin Ye waved his hand, and the Destiny River calmed down.

"Endless Abyss."

Demonic energy overflowed, and demonic beings condensed, creating a scene like ten thousand demons destroying the world.

Lin Ye blew a breath, scattering the demonic beings' Souls.

"Heaven's Will is hard to defy."

The Star Realm seemed to be opposing Lin Ye; a heavenly tribulation was born, a world-ending scene engulfing Lin Ye.

"Disperse."

Lin Ye spoke softly, the heavenly tribulation dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

"No, no, no, I can't accept this."

The Lord of the Planes was like a madman.

"It's over."

Lin Ye didn't look at him, but instead looked up at the sky.

The Lord of the Planes was twisted by a force; everything was rapidly being destroyed.

Finally, he turned into light and electricity, merging into Lin Ye's body.

"Victory!"

The Venerables cheered endlessly.

"Huh, where's Undying Venerable?"

"That's called the Lord of the Planes."

"Where's the Lord of the Planes?"

The newborn Lord of the Planes killed the previous newborn Lord of the Planes, and then disappeared?

.........

"Star Realm Will?"

"It's me."

A figure condensed before Lin Ye.

"Was all of this your plan?"

"No, my will was lost; I didn't know what was happening to you. Just now, the plane was damaged, and I could finally catch my breath," the Star Realm Will sighed.

"I mean, was this grand trend created by you? Constantly splitting yourself, giving birth to new planes, and alleviating your own pressure?" Lin Ye understood everything.

"Hahaha, that's right, exactly."

"Now, you have also reached the level of a Lord of the Planes. After promotion, no one can restrain us. Our own planes will greedily absorb everything in the void and grow without restraint."

Lin Ye nodded; he had already felt it.

"If the void is compared to the ocean, we are the bubbles in that ocean. If we expand without restraint, we will gradually rise and then burst. Therefore, only by constantly splitting can we save ourselves," the Star Realm Will said bitterly.

"There's another path, isn't there?" Lin Ye suddenly said.

"That's right, that's the path you're taking: strengthening yourself. As long as your will is strong enough, even if the bubble expands, it can be suppressed. Even if your own will can't keep up, you can actively stop the plane from continuing to absorb void energy," the Star Realm Will said, full of envy.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Ye suddenly understood.

It turned out that everything was merely the Star Realm's self-salvation.

"Congratulations, new Lord of the Planes."

"Thank you."

Lin Ye looked at the boundless void.
