# Chapter 2996: A Stalemate!
Although he didn't know what was happening, Xiao Chuihuo realized at this moment that Jiang Fan's Realm Source Energy seemed to have been cut off!
The Final Black Hole also stopped its continuous disturbances!
It was well known that the reason Jiang Fan was so powerful was inseparable from Realm Source Energy. He relied on Realm Source Energy to create worlds, thereby unleashing extremely powerful attacks!
Once the total amount of Realm Source Energy dropped, Jiang Fan's attack intensity could no longer be maintained!
But Xiao Chuihuo was different. The constant cycle of creation and destruction within his body didn't require Realm Source Energy—his energy was constant!
The intake of Realm Source Energy would only make Xiao Chuihuo even more powerful!
Jiang Fan's expression turned cold!
"So what? It's enough to stop you!"
Xiao Chuihuo squinted his eyes. "Is that so? I hope you can still say that later!"
"Creation Divine Might!"
At this moment, Xiao Chuihuo charged straight forward. The singularity exploded, a blazing red world blossomed, and pressed fiercely toward the End City!
Jiang Fan naturally used his Starry World to block!
The two worlds collided, rumbling loudly, shattering everything into chaos!
The Blazing Red World was originally no match for the Starry World, but Xiao Chuihuo was still holding on!
Holding on until the moment the Starry World collapsed!
Then something astonishing happened. Xiao Chuihuo's Blazing Red World actually began to absorb the matter and realm force produced by the Starry World's collapse!
Using this to strengthen itself, incorporating it into its own cycle. Whatever couldn't be controlled, he released in one burst!
"Boom!"
With this massive explosion, Xiao Chuihuo actually managed to force Jiang Fan back. His Starry Divine Body trembled violently!
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes. This wouldn't work!
He couldn't replenish Realm Source Energy now, and his attacks would only get weaker each time!
Meanwhile, Xiao Chuihuo would only grow stronger!
Under normal circumstances, when he could use Realm Source Energy infinitely, he could easily suppress Xiao Chuihuo!
But now, if he didn't solve this problem, he probably wouldn't last long!
Xiao Chuihuo's Blazing Red World collapsed, beginning the cycle again!
"You can destroy others, but you'll also destroy yourself!"
"Realm-Annihilating Slash!"
Jiang Fan slashed down with his sword again, timing it perfectly—just when Xiao Chuihuo's cycle was incomplete!
During the process of regression, there was a brief window!
Jiang Fan intended to use this opportunity to cut off part of Xiao Chuihuo's cycle total, or break the cycle entirely!
Once the cycle stopped, that would be the moment Xiao Chuihuo died!
But just then, Zhang San came slashing along the causal threads!
"Divine Concealment!"
He used a Divine Concealment on Xiao Chuihuo, hiding all of Xiao Chuihuo's causal threads!
Making him drift outside the world!
Jiang Fan's Realm-Annihilating Slash passed right over Xiao Chuihuo, striking empty air!
Xiao Chuihuo successfully completed his cycle, and another Creation Divine Might exploded!
Jiang Fan: !!!
"Boom!"
His clone was instantly engulfed in the endless blazing Planck temperature, only able to block with his Realm Source Armor!
Jiang Fan's gaze swept around wildly. For a moment, he forgot what kind of existence he was fighting!
This strange feeling again?
What the hell was going on?
Xiao Chuihuo was also stunned for a moment. That sword light... had passed over him?
What was happening?
And Jiang Fan didn't seem to be looking in his direction?
He couldn't see him anymore?
Xiao Chuihuo was also filled with confusion, but there was no time to worry about that now. He simply decided that the Will of the Starry Sky had intervened, helping him!
Without another word, Xiao Chuihuo directly bypassed Jiang Fan's obstruction!
And charged straight into the End City!
Rampaging with explosions!
The buildings of the End City, as well as part of the enormous accretion disk of the Final Black Hole, were directly melted into nothingness by Xiao Chuihuo's Planck limit high temperature!
Large gaps appeared everywhere!
Xiao Chuihuo was going all out, violently attacking the End City!
Of course, Jiang Fan noticed the End City being destroyed and the holes melted into the accretion disk!
But he couldn't see the person, couldn't find the target!
"Who! Who exactly is interfering!"
"Don't let me find you!"
Jiang Fan was certain that some existence was interfering at the causal level!
Preventing him from perceiving!
His Omniscence ability only touched on the causal level, far from being able to intervene!
But Jiang Fan still had a certain understanding of causality!
Zhang San gritted his teeth. "I'm right in front of you. What can you do about it? If you've got the guts, kill me!"
"Bastard! You killed so many people? I'll show you killing!"
With that, Zhang San kept slashing wildly at Jiang Fan, endlessly cutting at the causal threads around him!
More and more Star Scar causal threads were severed. Even Jiang Fan's ability to sense and command the silicon-based units gradually went offline!
Many laborers controlled by the Star Scar regained their freedom and began to rebel!
Dismantling bases, fighting silicon-based mechanical soldiers, running away—doing all kinds of things!
And Jiang Fan could no longer sense the Primordial Mechanism!
Under Zhang San's continuous attacks, the entire End Army fell into chaos, a tangled mess!
Jiang Fan knew clearly that this couldn't continue!
If this strange situation persisted, the losses would be too great. He had to solve this problem!
At this point, Jiang Fan no longer had the strength to maintain two separate clones!
The Jiang Fan on the Ten Thousand Races battlefield stopped fighting and instead flashed back to the End City!
The two clones slammed together and fused into one!
The remaining Realm Source Energy also underwent a massive fusion. Jiang Fan's aura grew even stronger!
At this moment, Jiang Fan decisively shattered over a hundred ability stars!
"Star Overload • Omniscence Enhancement!"
All the power from those shattered stars poured into the Omniscence ability star!
It bloomed with incomparably brilliant starlight. The star even ignited with blazing star flames!
"Star Fall!"
Under Jiang Fan's control, that star descended and directly merged into his Starry Divine Body!
Dyeing his divine body with the color of starlight, radiating outward!
"All-Knowing Eye • Radiation!"
At that instant, starlight burst forth, forming a starlight eye above Jiang Fan's head!
In Zhang San's perception, all causal threads related to Jiang Fan began to strengthen and thicken!
And the causal threads of Xiao Chuihuo that he had concealed, under the radiation of the All-Knowing Eye, largely emerged into view!
Jiang Fan finally saw Xiao Chuihuo rampaging everywhere, though still very blurry!
"Slash!"
However, Xiao Chuihuo had no intention of dodging. He wasn't afraid of Jiang Fan whose Realm Source Energy had been cut off!
At least Jiang Fan couldn't kill him. So he chose to withstand the slash head-on!
While delivering this strike, Jiang Fan's other hand grabbed again!
"All-Knowing Sword • Slash!"
This sword was composed of starlight from the Omniscence star. Zhang San, who was furiously slashing beside Jiang Fan, actually felt a threat from the sword light!
Damn! He extended his sword this fast?
This guy was truly versatile!
Zhang San dared not be careless. He felt along the causal threads, flashed, and quickly dodged!
This sword light could definitely injure him, especially now that he was so weakened!
Jiang Fan swung his sword and still struck empty air!
But he didn't stop. He kept swinging, stroke after stroke!
He still couldn't see Zhang San, couldn't find the target!
Jiang Fan was now like someone in an absolutely pitch-black darkroom. The Omniscence star was like a faint candle flame!
Enough only to illuminate the area around him, while in the darkness lurked a ghost that could attack at any moment!
So Jiang Fan kept shining the candlelight around, preventing the ghost from getting close!
This metaphor couldn't be more apt!
But this still wouldn't work. With the Realm Source Energy cut off, the balance was shifting. He would gradually become no match for Xiao Chuihuo!
At this moment, Jiang Fan once again activated his ability star!
"Puppet Star • Great Star Lord!"
"Calling Stars!"
Wanxiang, whose will had been sealed and turned into a puppet star, activated under Jiang Fan's control!
Infinite stellar force was mobilized and converged upon Jiang Fan!
At the same time, all the stars in the starry sky were affected by the Great Star Lord's ability!
They began to consume their own stellar force, moving toward the direction of the End City!
Like a super-strong magnetic ball thrown into an iron box full of steel balls!
The Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky fell into chaos because of this move!
The Celestial Star Race, Stardust Clan, Martin, and the others began heading to their home star domains, using gravity to pull on the stars to prevent them all from being summoned!
Just holding onto the stars of their respective home star domains exhausted all their strength!
There were so many stars across the entire starry sky—they simply couldn't manage them all!
In reality, most of the stars in the vast expanse were uninhabited stars and galaxies!
How could the Carbon Alliance and the Matter Alliance possibly handle them?
This was so sudden; for now, they could only take care of themselves and deal with the rest later!
However, even this couldn't re-establish Jiang Fan's connection with his main body!
But disturbing the Final Black Hole didn't only require a neutron star collider!
"Star Derivation!"
Jiang Fan waved his hand. The Wanxiang Puppet Star bloomed with dazzling light!
The dense matter near the Final Black Hole spontaneously converged under the influence of Wanxiang's ability!
In an instant, tens of thousands of maximally-sized neutron stars condensed!
Under Jiang Fan's control, these neutron stars collided three at a time!
Jiang Fan had long learned the neutron star collision method through the silicon-based terminal!
Thus, under the collisions, orderly arranged black holes were born!
Pulled by the Final Black Hole, they were swallowed one after another like dumplings falling into a pot!
This caused continuous disturbance. The connection between Jiang Fan's clone and his main body was re-established!
The Realm Source Energy inside him instantly refilled to full. He unleashed a terrifying attack, forcing Xiao Chuihuo back!
After all, this was the form of two clones fused together—his combat power was even more monstrous. Xiao Chuihuo couldn't hold out this time!
But Jiang Fan didn't pursue. Instead, he fiercely guarded the End City, preventing Xiao Chuihuo from using rules to erase the black hole and interrupt the disturbance again!
Meanwhile, the All-Knowing Sword in Jiang Fan's hand never stopped swinging. His eyes vigilantly scanned everywhere!
Trying to find any trace he could trace back!
Both Zhang San and Xiao Chuihuo now stood outside the End City!
Xiao Chuihuo stared at that Wanxiang Puppet Star. His fists clenched tightly, his teeth nearly ground to dust, his face full of unwillingness!
But in Zhang San's eyes, there was only helplessness. After this wave of frenzied slashing, he had consumed too much causal source. His body had become ethereal, about to dissipate!
If he kept cutting, he might cut himself out of existence!
And continuing a hard fight probably wouldn't do much to Jiang Fan either!
"This guy is really too hard to deal with. Like an omnipotent existence. No matter what the problem, he can come up with countless solutions. This is really... tsk~"
After the initial panic, Jiang Fan quickly found a way to break the deadlock and put it into practice!
Although the threat hadn't been eliminated and he was still stuck with a mess, Jiang Fan had now recovered his combat power!
But Zhang San had no intention of giving up. There would be many more days ahead. Let me recover some strength first, and then we'll take our time playing!
