Chapter 180: Coming out from the core region

The gigantic manifestation behind Victor raised its fist.

For a brief moment, the entire battlefield became unnaturally silent. Millions of kilometers of space had already been torn apart by the clash of ultimate laws, leaving behind a chaotic region filled with fragments of shattered asteroids, broken spatial layers, and remnants of destroyed laws.

Then the fist descended.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The impact exploded across the void like the birth of a miniature universe. The combined manifestation of dragon, Titan, Qilin, and Phoenix power smashed directly into the gathered immortals, instantly breaking through their defensive formations.

The ancient Titans were sent flying.

Their enormous bodies crashed through layers of distorted space, leaving enormous trails of golden blood behind them. Several dragons were forced out of their true forms, their bodies covered in cracks as their ancient scales shattered under the overwhelming force.

The Qilin immortals suffered an even worse fate.

Their ancestral phantoms collapsed one after another, unable to withstand the combined power of their own techniques after Victor had modified them. The Phoenix immortal’s flames were extinguished completely, leaving only a trembling figure surrounded by broken fragments of immortal energy.

Victor slowly lowered his hand.

The gigantic manifestation behind him disappeared.

His silver hair fluttered gently in the remnants of the spatial storm. His purple eyes remained calm, as though everything that had just happened was nothing more than a warm-up.

Astrion’s voice sounded inside his soul.

"Master, sixteen immortals have been heavily injured."

Victor looked around.

Only moments ago, sixteen terrifying beings had surrounded him with enough power to destroy countless worlds.

Now, all of them were struggling to remain conscious.

Victor smiled.

"That was more interesting than I expected."

One of the Titans struggled to stand.

His enormous body had been reduced to one fourth, and cracks covered his golden skin. His previously overwhelming aura had weakened considerably.

"What... exactly are you?"

Victor glanced toward him.

"Victor."

The Titan’s expression darkened.

"You know what I mean."

Victor did not answer.

Instead, he disappeared.

The next instant, he appeared directly above the Titan.

The Titan reacted instinctively and raised both arms.

BOOM!

Victor’s fist descended.

The Titan’s body was driven downward like a meteor, crashing through several layers of compressed space before finally stopping.

Before he could recover, Victor appeared beside him and struck again.

BOOM!

The Titan was sent flying once more.

A dragon immortal suddenly attacked from behind.

"Dragon Annihilation Breath!"

A massive beam of destructive energy erupted from the dragon’s mouth and swept toward Victor.

Victor did not even turn around.

His body remained completely still.

The beam approached within several meters of his body before suddenly bending around him.

Victor had already understood the technique.

He simply manipulated the surrounding spatial laws and redirected it.

The Dragon Annihilation Breath curved through space and slammed directly into another injured immortal.

BOOOOOOM!

The immortal was thrown backward.

Victor appeared in front of the ancient dragon who had launched the attack.

The dragon’s enormous pupils contracted.

"You..."

Victor raised his hand.

A gigantic silver palm appeared.

The palm struck the dragon directly across the face.

BOOM!

The ancient dragon was sent flying.

Its enormous body crashed through several spatial layers before finally stopping.

Victor followed immediately.

He appeared above the dragon and raised his fist.

The dragon desperately activated every defensive technique it possessed.

Dragon Ancestor Scale.

Ancient Dragon Barrier.

Immortal Dragon Body.

Primordial Bloodline Protection.

Layer after layer of defenses appeared around its body.

Victor’s fist descended.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

Every defensive layer shattered.

The ancient dragon’s body was driven downward. The surrounding void trembled violently.

The dragon tried to escape, but Victor appeared beside it again.

Another punch.

BOOM!

Another.

BOOM!

Another.

BOOM!

The ancient dragon finally lost the ability to resist. Victor grabbed one of its enormous horns and pulled it upward.

The dragon stared at him with disbelief.

"You... defeated all of us alone."

Victor looked at the remaining immortals scattered throughout the battlefield.

Victor raised his other hand.

A terrifying silver blade formed across his palm. The surrounding laws began converging toward it.

Space.

Time.

Creation.

Destruction.

Gravity.

Void.

Countless fundamental laws intertwined around the blade. The ancient dragon immediately understood what was about to happen.

"Wait!"

Victor stopped.

The dragon stared at him.

"You are going to kill me?"

Victor looked at him calmly.

"You attacked me first."

The dragon’s expression changed.

"I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Victor’s silver blade descended.

But it never reached the dragon.

Everything stopped. The blade froze in midair. The dragon froze. The shattered pieces of space froze.

Even the countless particles of energy floating through the battlefield became completely motionless.

Victor’s pupils contracted.

For the first time since the battle began, he felt something strange. His body could not move.

His consciousness could still function.

His thoughts continued.

But everything else had become completely frozen.Even his laws were unable to move. Victor’s expression became serious.

"What?"

Astrion’s voice immediately echoed inside his soul.

"Master!"

"I know."

Victor attempted to manipulate space.

Nothing happened.

He tried controlling time.

Nothing happened.

He activated his Law of Creation.

Still nothing.

Something had completely suppressed the flow of time itself. Victor looked around. The battlefield remained perfectly frozen.

Then an ancient voice entered his ear.

"Young one, can you show them mercy?"

The voice was calm.

There was no hostility within it.

Yet Victor’s instincts immediately warned him that the owner of that voice was extraordinarily powerful.

Victor looked around without much hesitation.

"Are you a Guardian?, he asked.

​"Yeah, some call us that. I am just a tired old man who wants to have some piece," the ancient voice was heard again.

​"What do you want?" Victor asked.

​"Can you spare them? We will need army of immortals to fight off extra terristerial threat. I will compensate you," the old man said.

​Victor pondered the proposal for a brief moment. He looked at the shattered forms of the sixteen immortals floating around him like statues. Their racial techniques had already been completely analyzed, absorbed, and perfected by his Law of Creation. Killing them would offer no further growth or insight to his current foundation.

Furthermore, the entity capable of casting a domain that could briefly restrict his physical movement was an existence operating on a different level. Fighting such a force right now was unnecessary when his primary objective lay elsewhere.

​"Very well. And I will soon reach the core of the universe. Prepare the time field," Victor replied.

​The mysterious presence seemed to breathe a silent sigh of relief that reverberated softly through the frozen laws of space.

​"Thank you so much young one. We will be waiting for you."

​The moment the final words faded, the overwhelming temporal pressure dissolved like mist under a bright sun.

​Time violently surged forward once again. The frozen cosmic dust resumed its drift, the remaining energy ripples dispersed into the far reaches of the sector, and the ancient dragon leader slumped down in total exhaustion, unaware that his life had just hung by a single thread in a stopped moment of reality.

​Victor lowered his hand, allowing the condensed silver sword to disperse into harmless atmospheric light. He glanced at the sprawling, broken forms of the ancient immortals floating in the quiet debris field. None of them dared to make a single move, nor did they attempt to speak. The arrogant aura they had carried when surrounding him had been completely crushed, replaced by a profound, haunting quiet.

He lost his interest in them and used teleportation.

​The spatial passage swallowed Victor’s figure.

Within moments, he disappeared completely, leaving behind only faint silver ripples that slowly faded into the darkness. The surviving immortals remained in the ruined battlefield, surrounded by shattered space and fragments of their own broken techniques.

None of them spoke for a long time.

Finally, the Titan immortal released a heavy breath.

"That monster..."

The ancient dragon leader closed his eyes.

"Do not call him a monster."

The Titan looked toward him. The dragon slowly opened his eyes.

"Call him what he is."

He stared at the place where Victor had disappeared.

"An existence we cannot afford to provoke."

The other immortals remained silent.

They had witnessed Victor’s terrifying ability firsthand. Their greatest techniques had become weapons in his hands, their ancestral defenses had been recreated, and their combined strength had been completely overwhelmed.

Suddenly they heard a voice in their head.

"Send resources to the Human elven race within 5 days."

It was Victor’s final words for them. He came here to gain resources for his race at the first place, how would he forget that?

Victor appeared ditectly outside of the central region of the universe.

Now he wanted to enter the time field as soon as possible. So he came back to take Diana and Noelle with him.

...

Outside the universe, in the endless chaos sea where the sole universe was moving toward the cosmic storm, suddenly a pair of ancient eyes were opened.

"An origin universe? It looked delicious."
