479: I am the universe

“I really have you to thank for being so troublesome. Otherwise, I might not have had the courage to detonate all my eyes, and how else could I have used that power to break through to the next level?”

Secret Art: Eye Sacrifice. For every eye lost, power will subtly increase.

The specific increase in effect is mainly influenced by the quality of the eyes.

This was a secret art that seemed incredibly useless; even the Thousand-Eyed Demon race wouldn't use it.

After all, eyes were their source of power. What was the difference between actively detonating eyes and self-mutilation?

However, it was precisely under the effect of this seemingly useless Talent, and with the sacrifice of countless high-quality eyes, that Ginas took the final step and successfully advanced to the Universe Master level.

Yet, his strengthening meant Lin Tianwei’s disaster.

With just a casual swing from Ginas, his Claws struck the control collar at an incredibly terrifying speed.

This control collar, meticulously crafted with countless materials, simply vanished, shattered into nothingness by a single claw strike from Ginas.

Ginas’s speed was simply too fast; even though Lin Tianwei was prepared, he still couldn't recall the control collar and could only watch as it was pulverized.

Danger!

Almost the instant Ginas went all out, Lin Tianwei flew backward, rapidly retreating into the distance.

Ginas, that old schemer, truly had a trick up his sleeve!

Fortunately, Lin Tianwei had always been vigilant and never let his guard down; otherwise, he would have truly fallen into his trap.

However, facing a power that was completely on a different level, it was simply a little too late to escape now.

As Ginas's body instantly turned into nothingness, Lin Tianwei felt as if he had entered another world—another universe.

“Want to talk? You’re truly naive.”

“Fine, let me show you the power of a Universe Master. I am the universe!”

“Struggle, despair, and then die!”

Watching Lin Tianwei’s frantic fleeing figure, Ginas found it incredibly amusing.

Fleeing in front of a Universe Master? This was simply the funniest joke in the universe.

It was precisely Ginas’s words that made Lin Tianwei’s fleeing movement halt immediately.

Someone so carried away with himself that he directly displayed the power of a Universe Master to him? How could Lin Tianwei possibly flee when such a good opportunity presented itself?

Facts proved that Lin Tianwei’s feeling was not an illusion; he had indeed entered another universe, a universe composed of Ginas’s body.

Completely different from the imitation universes within the internal worlds of Cosmic Level Cosmic Beasts, Ginas’s universe was a true universe, possessing its own complete and exclusive rules.

For instance, right now, Lin Tianwei felt a terrifying suction force continuously coming from all directions, constantly absorbing energy from him.

With just a moment of inattention, Lin Tianwei had one ten-millionth of his power absorbed by the universe.

One should know that this was when Lin Tianwei had done nothing; if he were to fight in this universe, his stamina would rapidly decline.

If he didn't escape quickly, this universe with its unique rules alone would be enough to exhaust Lin Tianwei to death.

However, how could Ginas do nothing?

A colossal star, even larger than Lin Tianwei's body, was born out of thin air in the universe, and it hurtled towards Lin Tianwei at an extremely high speed.

Avoid the sharp edge? Face the challenge head-on?

Just as Lin Tianwei was about to act and quickly destroy this star, the surrounding space became as resistant as a quagmire, immediately halting his movements.

This universe seemed to be preventing Lin Tianwei from escaping, yet it didn't know that Lin Tianwei had no intention of escaping at all.

A claw shatters a star!

This aggressively approaching star was instantly shattered by Lin Tianwei.

However, this was only the beginning, not the end at all.

Because the moment Lin Tianwei shattered this star, hundreds of millions of stars crashed towards him.

Lin Tianwei was like a lonely traveler wandering in the universe, overwhelmed and struggling to cope.

Although these stars were powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, and even Lord-level powerhouses would not dare to easily confront their might,

But for Lin Tianwei, this was simply too childish, not even counting as a warm-up.

However, the stars were endless, and this universe was even growing stronger by absorbing the residual energy from Lin Tianwei's battles.

With this constant ebb and flow, if he didn't find a way to break free from this universe, he would be completely trapped here,

Until he completely despaired, or was utterly annihilated into nothingness after billions of years due to energy depletion.

“You're a bit too naive if you think you can defeat me with these clownish attacks.”

“Don’t waste time; bring out whatever real abilities you have.”

Tired of this meaningless waste of time, Lin Tianwei let out a fierce shout:

“If you continue to hold back, I fear you will no longer have the chance to use your power.”

“Universe Master? I can kill him without hesitation!”

As soon as his voice fell, an extremely terrifying Mental Power erupted from Lin Tianwei, making him appear like a glowing and radiating sun.

The stars that came into contact with the sunlight seemed to suffer something incredibly terrifying, instantly vaporizing and disappearing without a trace.

Not only that, but the sun representing Lin Tianwei continued to expand and grow larger.

In just a few hours, it showed a tendency to completely break through the constraints of Ginas’s universe.

Facing Lin Tianwei’s provocation, Ginas, however, had unspeakable difficulties.

With the self-detonation of countless Law Eyes, he had indeed gained the qualification to advance to Universe Master, transforming his body into a universe and acquiring extraordinary power.

It was precisely because he had just advanced that Ginas was not yet familiar enough with the power of a Universe Master, which was why he could only conjure some stars to play a game of hide-and-seek with Lin Tianwei.

Once Ginas became thoroughly familiar with his own power, gradually perfected the laws of his universe, and evolved a complete universe, he would then be able to decisively annihilate Lin Tianwei.

Who knew that Lin Tianwei wouldn't play by the rules? After being trapped in the universe he created for only a very short time, he was already preparing to overturn the table.

Shouldn't he be grateful that he could gain an advantage from a Universe Master and peacefully enjoy his last moments within the universe he had created?

If an ordinary Cosmic Beast intended to overturn the table, Ginas wouldn't even bother to pay attention,

The universe he had transformed into was not so easily breached.

But looking at the rising sun before him, Ginas sensed a hint of danger, which forced him to respond.

To fight or to flee? Ginas unexpectedly faced such a difficult choice.

However, he soon no longer needed to choose, because Lin Tianwei had already made the choice for him.

Just as Lin Tianwei had said at the beginning, if he didn't use his full power now, Ginas might no longer have the chance to use it.

From the rightmost part of his body, a dazzling white light suddenly shot out.

This meant that Lin Tianwei had already broken through the universe that bound him and was about to escape Ginas's rather unreliable prison.

Such a situation for Ginas was already a point of no return.

Once Lin Tianwei completely destroyed Ginas’s universe, let alone advancing to Universe Master, he might even fall in cultivation realm because of it.

No sooner said than done!

Just as Lin Tianwei was about to break through Ginas’s universe and regain his freedom, Ginas, who had been unmoving, finally acted.

The universe erupted again, instantly sucking Lin Tianwei's body back in.

Not only that, but the previously calm universe began to compress and collapse, as if preparing to annihilate Lin Tianwei along with the universe itself.

At this point in the battle, Ginas had gone all in; he would no longer give this troublesome opponent any chance,

Even if it meant sacrificing himself and annihilating a large part of his divine body, he wouldn't hesitate.

When rivals meet, the brave one wins!

As the universe annihilated, the sun representing Lin Tianwei, the arrogant sun, finally met resistance and began to be annihilated along with it.

However, it was at this very moment that Lin Tianwei finally unleashed his strongest power.

At his current level, he naturally couldn't contend with a Universe Master, not even a newly advanced one.

But Lin Tianwei was not just one beast; behind him stood countless Cosmic Beasts, and the entire Law Hunting Ground planet was his home ground.

With Lin Tianwei at the core, the Mental Power of countless test subjects surged into Lin Tianwei, granting him power that was completely on par with Ginas’s in a short period.

If necessary, these Cosmic Beasts could even completely sacrifice themselves, erupting with an even more brilliant light.

Ginas once possessed hundreds of millions of Talent eyes; at this moment, Lin Tianwei was no less impressive, as he possessed even more Cosmic Beasts.

As Lin Tianwei fully unleashed his strength, the annihilation and collapse of the universe became irrelevant to him.

He was himself; no matter how the environment changed, he remained steadfast!

This cross-tier battle, far from being a crushing victory, had instead turned into a stalemate!

Panic, intense panic, climbed into Ginas’s heart.

He never imagined that even after unleashing his ultimate move, which harmed himself to defeat the enemy, he still couldn't do anything to Lin Tianwei, couldn't do anything to this terrifying Cosmic Beast.

Through the brilliant white light, Ginas saw a figure interwoven with gold, black, and white, and his heart was filled with shock, secretly thinking:

What kind of Cosmic Beast is this? At merely a hundred years old, he possesses such terrifying strength.

If I could capture him and study him thoroughly, my future self might even break through to the God King realm.

Especially those Black and White eyes; if they could be transplanted onto me, it’s truly unimaginable how much powerful strength they could bring me.

It was precisely while Ginas was fantasizing that the Mental Power shrouding Lin Tianwei suddenly erupted, incinerating 3% of Ginas’s divine body.

This was the power Lin Tianwei had gained by sacrificing thirty million Cosmic Beasts.

Ginas cried out in pain, instinctively letting out a shriek.

After the scream came an excited shout: “I finally know where your power comes from! As long as I cut off your power source, you’ll be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by me.”

Although the previous attack injured Ginas, the sudden burst of power also allowed Ginas to find the source of Lin Tianwei’s strength.

He finally knew why this Cosmic Beast, whose strength had clearly not reached that of a Universe Master, could contend with him; it turned out he was using such unorthodox methods.

Thinking this, Ginas ignored Lin Tianwei, who was like a major affliction within his body, and casually sent out countless energy shockwaves, intending to destroy the planet he had been cultivating all this time.

The power of a Universe Master is incredibly immense; even a casual strike is not something that these Cosmic Beasts, whose strongest are only at the Immortal Level, can contend with.

After all, there was only one Lin Tianwei; other Cosmic Beasts simply didn't possess his abnormal abilities.

As the energy waves spread, this planet, which had been flourishing moments ago, instantly turned into nothingness.

Along with it, countless test subjects living on it were also annihilated.

Seeing this, Ginas laughed maniacally: “You’re finished, you’re completely finished! I’ve completely cut off your energy source. What will you use to fight me now? How will you fight me?”

However, to Ginas’s horror, his attack not only failed to weaken Lin Tianwei’s power, but instead caused the opponent’s power to surge, annihilating 5% of his divine body in an instant.

Such a situation made Ginas exclaim in disbelief:

“What is going on? I clearly eliminated your power source, so how can you still maintain such a powerful state?”

Facing Ginas’s shock, this time, Lin Tianwei chose to mercifully answer his doubts.

The victor was decided; this time, no Cosmic Beast could stop him from slaughtering a powerful Universe Master.

“Have you ever heard of cyber souls?”

“I really have you to thank for helping me eliminate their physical bodies; otherwise, they wouldn’t have erupted with such terrifying power at the moment of death.”

“Did you hear that?”

“Every Cosmic Beast you mercilessly enslaved will turn into a sharp blade piercing you.”

“Ginas, the time has come; you are to die!”

How could Lin Tianwei leave such an obvious flaw for Ginas to ambush his base?

It seemed that living test subjects were providing him with power, but in reality, it was their souls, cyber souls that had completely transformed into data.

If their souls hadn't been enslaved by the control collar and even changed their characteristics because of it, Lin Tianwei wouldn't have been able to acquire so many cyber souls so easily.

Coupled with Lin Tianwei's unique ability of Consciousness Datafication, he was able to absorb the Mental Power of these cyber souls,

Integrating them all, and effectively dominating Ginas, a Universe Master.

“Wait, we can still talk.”

“I think there’s some misunderstanding between us. We can totally achieve a win-win situation; there’s no need to fight to the death.”

“Let’s stop fighting; this is a win-win situation.”

Feeling Lin Tianwei’s naked killing intent, Ginas’s hair stood on end, and he began to beg for mercy.

Although he couldn't figure out the reason for Lin Tianwei's immense power, he only knew that he was going to die, and if he didn't beg for mercy now, when would he?

A Universe Master begging a Lord-level for mercy?

This was simply the greatest marvel in the Origin Universe! (End of Chapter)
