Genesis Supreme didn’t mind An Lushan indulging in a little petty-minded flaunting, but everything had to be controlled to a certain degree. Wang Chong had yet to lose his fighting power, and angering him might cause him to risk some dangerous action. This was not a good thing for An Lushan.
“Hmph, blasphemer, you still will not concede? Even at this stage, you still think you have a chance?” Genesis Supreme coldly said.
“Even if you buy yourself some time, you will die all the same.”
The Tang army was in a full rout, but Wang Chong was leading his elite soldiers in charging into the fray. His intention was obvious.
But though he had seen through Wang Chong’s intentions, Genesis Supreme did not care.
To the gods, wars between human dynasties were like struggles between different ant hills. Victory and defeat were both meaningless.
What was most important was Heaven’s Purification Plan.
But regardless of how much time Wang Chong bought, all that awaited him was death.
“The final moment has yet to come, and everything remains unknown. Even if we have lost this battle, things definitely will not go your way. Even if we can’t escape, you will pay a price,” Wang Chong sternly said, his face determined and his body radiating a resolve to fight to the end.
But no matter what the time, even if it was the final moment, he would never easily give up. This had been true in the war of the southwest and the war of the northwest. Whether in the past or future, he would never give up!
“Hmph!”
An Lushan and his Youzhou generals all looked at Wang Chong with derision.
What could Wang Chong do now?
Make them pay a price? One last struggle?
Was this a cornered beast driven to desperation? Or was he going to take them all down with him?
As he was saying this, it seemed like Wang Chong was truly at the end of his rope.
Genesis Supreme slightly frowned, but he was not too surprised.
“Even so, I will cast you into the depths of despair!”
Genesis Supreme’s expression was cold and aloof as he thrust out a palm. A golden-white ball of light shot out, radiating intense ripples of spacetime energy, but it was not aimed at Wang Chong. Instead, it shot toward the Tang soldiers that had retreated out of the walls and were now battling with the alliance army.
Wang Chong scowled at the sight, not expecting this move from Genesis Supreme. Given Genesis Supreme’s power, this attack could utterly annihilate the Tang soldiers, together with the alliance soldiers they were fighting.
The aloof Genesis Supreme did not care about the lives of the alliance soldiers, but Wang Chong could not say the same.
Bang!
Wang Chong lunged forward to try and stop that golden-white ball.
A dark golden Halo of Spacetime appeared in front of the golden-white sphere, opening up a spacetime passage that swallowed up the sphere.
“It’s useless!”
Genesis Supreme’s cold and emotionless voice rang out.
Boom!
With a thunderous boom, another golden-white sphere shot toward a group of Tang soldiers in a completely different direction.
Genesis Supreme didn’t even try to fight with Wang Chong. Since Wang Chong cared so much about the lives of these lowly soldiers, he was perfectly happy to keep Wang Chong running around trying to save them.
Buzz!
Wang Chong’s heart trembled, but he had no choice. Lunging forward, he used the power of spacetime to instantly appear in front of the golden-white sphere.
But when Wang Chong appeared in front of the sphere, his heart instantly sank.
It appeared that Genesis Supreme had taken note of how Wang Chong had dealt with the first one and had mixed chaotic spacetime energy into this golden-white sphere, preventing Wang Chong from using a spacetime passage to get rid of the sphere.
Different kinds of spacetime energy would reject each other.
He’s using this method to expend my power!
Wang Chong immediately understood what Genesis Supreme was trying to do.
He was using the lives of the Tang soldiers to threaten Wang Chong. In one aspect, this gave Genesis Supreme all of the initiative, and in another aspect, he could constantly exhaust Wang Chong’s strength, and once Wang Chong had lost enough strength, he would no longer be able to escape, even with his Grotto Heaven realm cultivation.
Wang Chong’s expression chilled as these thoughts ran through his mind, and the fingers of his right hand reached for the golden short halberd.
Sitting around to wait for death had never been his style!
Bang!
Wang Chong threw out the golden short halberd, which shot toward Genesis Supreme like a furious dragon.
This halberd moved with incredible speed, starting from several hundred feet away and reaching Genesis Supreme’s face in the blink of an eye.
“Even if you know, what does it matter?”
Genesis Supreme was unmoved as he gathered his Grotto Heaven realm Stellar Energy. Spacetime ripples radiated outward from his body and formed a formidable spacetime barrier in front of him.
The golden short halberd struck the barrier and was stopped by layer after layer of spacetime energy. The destructive torrent of energy it had carried with it was also dispersed through a honeycombed dimension that Genesis Supreme had created.
As he blocked the halberd, Genesis Supreme opened his right hand, and he manifested another golden-white sphere.
“What can you change? Can you stop every one of the spheres?”
Boom! The golden-white sphere shot toward a group of Tang cavalry like a lightning bolt.
As he watched those several thousand Tang cavalry near destruction, Wang Chong mentally sighed and lunged forward, savagely punching at the golden-white sphere.
One, two, three…
Genesis Supreme threw out golden-white sphere after sphere, constantly grinding away at Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy.
“Divine Embryo 1 and Divine Embryo 3, come to me!”
Forced into an extremely passive stance, Wang Chong called out, summoning his two clones that were holding off the alliance army at other gaps.
Bang!
As Genesis Supreme threw out two more spheres, Wang Chong’s two divine embryo clones appeared, gathered their Stellar Energy, and punched.
“Great Yin Yang Art!”
The images of the sun and moon appeared, energy gushing out of the two divine embryos to stop the destructive spheres of energy.
In all of Wang Chong’s techniques, only the techniques developed by the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art could produce an energy close to that of Grotto Heaven laws.
“It’s useless! Martial artists beneath the Grotto Heaven realm have no way of stopping it. By forcing the issue, you will pay an enormous price. I’d like to see how long these clones of yours can last!” Genesis Supreme coldly said.
There was a qualitative difference between those above and below the Grotto Heaven realm. The most important factor was that non–Grotto Heaven martial artists that tried to forcefully receive a Grotto Heaven attack would suffer from intense ripples of spacetime energy that would severely damage their organs.
To put it simply, the bodies of non–Grotto Heaven martial artists couldn’t take the attack.
Rumble!
However, with a massive boom, those two golden-white spheres exploded, their destructive energy sweeping out and creating an intense storm. But when Genesis Supreme looked at Wang Chong’s two clones, his eyes went slack. Though they had received his attacks, Wang Chong’s two clones were fine, not injured in the slightest.
These two clones were surprisingly sturdy.
With his cultivation, Genesis Supreme could see the truth at a glance, and he couldn’t help but be shocked.
But before he had time to think, boom! Wang Chong lunged at Genesis Supreme from above.
“Thunder Strike!”
With a boom of thunder and a flash of light, Wang Chong pulled out the Origin Immortal Sword and slashed at Genesis Supreme.
A resplendent and blazing bolt of lightning rendered everything else in the world dim and lightless. Even Genesis Supreme couldn’t help but turn grave.
The Xuanyuan Sword!
Genesis Supreme instantly recognized Wang Chong’s sword, and he felt compelled to use his full strength to deal with this attack.
Bang!
There was a flash of light behind Genesis Supreme’s head, and a halo appeared. Genesis Supreme’s Stellar Energy instantly became extremely concentrated, and Genesis Supreme punched. The enormous lightning bolt was instantly blocked by the energy unleashed by that halo.
This wasn’t their first time fighting, and a major reason Wang Chong had failed to deal with Genesis Supreme was the halo behind his head.
And even more troubles were on their way. As Wang Chong fiercely battled with Genesis Supreme, lightning flashed above the fortress, and a familiar pressure descended. A split-second later, a coarse lightning bolt crashed down.
This lightning bolt was as thick as the gnarled roots of an old tree. Most importantly, it was infused with the World Consciousness.
Wang Chong blinked away, avoiding the lightning bolt. Turning his head, Wang Chong spotted the sneering face of An Lushan.
Wang Chong had advanced far too quickly on the martial path, reaching the Grotto Heaven realm in such a short amount of time. Even when An Lushan was wearing the World Armor, and had the aid of the World Consciousness and the power of the Black Dragon, though he was much stronger than when he had faced Wang Chong in the capital, half a step from the Grotto Heaven realm, there was still a significant gap between him and Wang Chong.
An Lushan didn’t dare to get too close, but by using the World Consciousness, he could attack Wang Chong from a distance with lightning.
Ever since he had obtained the World Armor, An Lushan was able to control even more of the world’s power, allowing him to pose a major threat to Wang Chong.
