Chen Tian and Sen Sha had joined forces to achieve this situation. If it were a one-on-one fight, even Chen Tian wouldn't have had a hundred percent certainty of killing the opponent.
Above the cosmic battle line, the four battlefields were still raging. Compared to their side, the other side was nearing its end. Since the other four had long finished their respective battles, one of the four battlefields was out of sync because the combat there was different from elsewhere!
It was a young girl, her eyes filled with killing intent, looking at the evil general before her. Xie Mo had no idea why this woman's strength had suddenly skyrocketed. He even felt a hint of fear. Initially, they were evenly matched.
The girl's appearance, upon closer inspection, was identical to Qing Xue's. She was Qing Xue's younger sister, Qing Yuan. Qing Yuan looked at Xie Mo, the evil general who had killed her sister, and she wanted revenge.
"Why does this woman seem to have such intense killing intent towards me? I haven't done anything!"
He felt the immense killing intent emanating from her gaze, an intensity that made Xie Jiang somewhat fearful. What had happened to make her hate him so much? He couldn't understand. They had just been probing each other, and the sudden outburst was unexpected, leaving him suppressed.
"I can't let this continue."
He made an instant decision, abandoning any further probing. He unleashed his full power. Facing the slender, snow-white palm, the Evil Spirit Claw extended. The clash of hardness and softness, the resulting shockwaves and gusts of wind, lasted less than a second before being neutralized and dissipated.
His figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared behind her. He sent out a palm strike. Reacting swiftly, Xie Ling's palm opened. Palm against palm, they both retreated, stabilizing themselves. His figure then turned into afterimages, which swirled around.
At this moment, Qing Yuan was blinded by hatred. The power she unleashed could destroy the heavens and shatter the earth. She had to deal with the person before her with her own hands. Revenge was her only thought. Her killing intent manifested as a blood-red snow mountain behind her.
"Truly terrifying. What kind of lunatic is this woman?"
He looked at the scene before him in disbelief. If this continued, she would be completely consumed by her killing intent and turn into a killing machine. She would even end up killing herself.
"I didn't do anything!"
"No, wait. The aura that disappeared earlier, and this appearance... let me think."
Suddenly, something dawned on him. He slapped his forehead. "My goodness, what does this have to do with me? They killed each other over there; why are you seeking revenge from me?"
He finally understood. It turned out these two were sisters. When one died, the other would naturally seek revenge.
An undeserved disaster. Indeed, never anger a woman. Once a woman goes mad, no one can handle it.
Facing the attacks, Xie Mo easily defended himself. Without hiding his strength, he could maintain a fifty-fifty stalemate.
At the fortress, Chen Tian's figure was already closing in on the shadowy creature. The incoming attack was about to land on him, but the blade passed right through his body.
He wasn't flustered; this ability was within his calculations, and he had a countermeasure. He spun around and launched an energy attack, which transformed into a drill and descended.
The shadowy creature knew that in this state, it would be seriously injured by the energy wave. Its body regenerated, and its entire form was covered in armor. With the armor on, all attacks were blocked.
"This heaven-defying defense. To break through, I need to deal with it from the inside, but there's that ability inside... this is..."
It was an unsolvable situation. To breach its defense, he had to strike from within, but with that ability inside, he didn't dare risk entering.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The shadowy creature seemed to be roaring, or perhaps sending a message. Its figure vanished. It had escaped right before his eyes.
"Was it summoned back?"
This was the only explanation. Below the fortress, all the evil spirits retreated. They had held their ground in this battle.
In the cosmic battlefield, a horn sounded. All the evil generals abandoned their opponents and headed backward. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle was finally paused for today. If they continued fighting, no one could bear it.
Qing Yuan, seeing Xie Mo about to leave, would not give him the opportunity and pursued him fiercely.
"Stop her, quickly."
A young man spoke, immediately recognizing the girl's state. This wouldn't do.
His figure suddenly appeared, and he delivered a palm strike with his full strength, knocking her unconscious.
The leader spoke, "Let's go. Let's sort out the fortress. The next battle won't be easy. We have a few days to rest, everyone."
"Yes, boss."
Everyone responded in unison. The young man looked at the people present, noting that a portion of their comrades were missing. Those who had sacrificed themselves to protect the world.
Of their former brothers and sisters, only they remained. Alas, this battle could be concluded when the next one began.
The evil spirit race abandoned their attack on the fortress, finally giving them breathing room. Humans needed rest; they couldn't operate day and night like other creatures.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo, Chen Tian, I'm going to rest. I'm too tired. We've been fighting for almost a week."
"Alright."
Sen Sha was exhausted. Indeed, everyone needed a good rest. Judging by the evil spirit race's usual behavior, they would have a few days of respite this time. As for why they left, it was easy to guess.
That guy was close to breaking the seal. He wondered how things were going with the main body.
The clone's biggest worry wasn't that guy breaking the seal, but when the main body would awaken. Receiving memories from several reincarnations and their inherent abilities required a vast amount of time. During this period, the clone couldn't hold on.
At most, it could last for a while. The gap in strength between him and the main body was still too great.
In the expanse of space, the little boy was anxious. "Haven't they finished receiving the memories after several days?"
"I'm not worried, why are you?"
"That's not the problem. Look at this."
The little boy projected an image. The little girl's eyes widened in surprise. "There's interference from other universal consciousnesses on the battlefield and the sealing ground."
"Quickly come and help. Transfer a small portion of the origin to him to help him wake up faster."
There was no time to delay. They hadn't intended to use this method, but the situation was urgent. At this pace, the seal might break before he could even wake up.
The main reason was the long duration of the seal, and the interference from other universal consciousnesses. It seemed they had realized something.
But that was not an issue. It was merely interference and did not affect the operation of the universe. This universe's consciousness couldn't find them to question them.
Besides, the evil spirit race was not originally from this universe. They were only helping her return to freedom and her homeland.
The little boy and the little girl transferred the heavenly dao origin into Chen Tian's body. Inside him, the young world tree seedling slowly absorbed the origin.
"Something's not right. Our origin... why is it draining so quickly?"
"There's something inside him. What do we do?"
"Continue."
This was the only way forward. Were there other options? They could only persevere, and see who would deplete their energy first, him or her.
In China, in a mysterious space, there was an octagonal seal. In front of the octagon was a hexagonal seal. Cracks filled both sealing formations.
All the evil generals were waiting for this moment. They had stopped fighting and returned to see their King, to welcome their King's return.
