# Chapter: 0.000001 Seconds
In less than 0.000001 seconds, Su Xiao had already arrived before the Supreme Being. The Supreme Being looked down at the approaching enemy, and a burst of dark impact erupted.
A ringing sound filled Su Xiao's ears. Just how powerful was this dark impact? The answer could be seen from his semi-detached soul body.
Clang! Clang!
Two slashes. The first was a slash carrying powerful dark force, blocked by Dragon-Slaying Flash. The second was a soul blade slash from Su Xiao's semi-detached soul body, blocked by the invisible "Fate Incarnation." So then, what about the Demon Spirit's slash?
"Extreme Blade: Star Piercer."
The suddenly appearing Demon Spirit thrust out a crystal blade in its hand, the tip gleaming with starlight. Yes, Su Xiao, using the Demon Spirit as a medium, unleashed a 100% power "Star Piercer."
Starlight appeared before the Supreme Being's chest, causing a hint of solemnity to appear in his eyes. If this strike pierced through, even he would face danger.
"Domination: Absolute Darkness."
Everything around suddenly stopped. It wasn't a "time-freeze" type ability, but rather solid darkness enveloping the surroundings. To continue moving, one had to break through this solid darkness. However, the Demon Spirit's "Star Piercer" wasn't stopped, because the Demon Spirit had become ethereal.
Pfft!
The crystal long sword pierced through the Supreme Being's chest. How could an ethereal attack hit the Supreme Being? The answer was that the extreme penetrating power of Star Piercer could pierce through ethereal forms at the final moment. This was the only ability that could both maintain ethereal form and hit enemies—extremely unsolvable. But in the late stages, if one's abilities weren't unsolvable and cheap enough, they would eventually die in same-level confrontations.
"Extreme Blade: Galaxies."
As Su Xiao fell toward the ground, the Demon Spirit had already attacked forward. As the crystal long sword thrust out, it was like galaxies shining, with streaks of starlight appearing.
Bang!
The Supreme Being, whose chest wound had disappeared through dark regression, clenched his fist. The Demon Spirit shattered with a sound, and the vast shining starlight extinguished.
Su Xiao landed back on the ground. The moment his feet touched solid ground, he made a virtual slash with his blade.
With a thunderous roar, this slash seemed to cut through something invisible. The Supreme Being, who had been floating above like a dark god of destruction, suddenly lowered his altitude and finally stood on solid ground. At this moment, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, because the "levitation concept and rules" of the entire Star Realm had been temporarily severed by this opponent.
The Supreme Being couldn't fly or float—no, it wasn't that he couldn't. Rather, once in that state, he would need to expend more mental energy and maintenance to barely operate these temporarily broken concepts and rules.
This slash finally made the Supreme Being, who had been looking down from above, begin to take this opponent seriously. The abilities displayed by this opponent initially didn't seem as high as estimated, but the more they fought, the more troublesome this enemy became.
"Extreme Blade: Azure Demon."
Zheng!
The slash mark instantly reached before the Supreme Being. A burst of dark impact was immediately triggered. Amid a muffled explosion, the Azure Demon that had slashed here was shattered by the darkness.
But the very next moment after Azure Demon was shattered, the Demon Spirit and Azure Demon swapped positions. If the Demon Spirit could swap cause and effect with Su Xiao, then why couldn't it swap positions with the attack Su Xiao had slashed out?
"Extreme Blade: White Night."
The Demon Spirit slashed down with a brilliant golden long sword. Almost simultaneously, Su Xiao himself made a virtual slash downward with his long sword.
"Extreme Blade: Heavy Moon."
A dark-translucent slashing might descended. This was a control plus heavy slash combo—why classics never go out of style.
Clang!
The crystal long sword clashed against the dark blade, then the crystal long sword shattered. However, at the same time, Su Xiao and the Demon Spirit swapped positions, bringing him before the Supreme Being.
"Extreme Blade: White Night."
Clang!
Dragon-Slaying Flash clashed against the dark blade. Both were top-tier weapons, and Dragon-Slaying Flash was even stronger than the dark blade. However, the Supreme Being had two weapons, so in this regard, it was hard to say who was stronger.
Crack, crack, crack~
The blades rubbed against each other, producing harsh sounds. Due to the clash of immense force, signs of spatial collapse occasionally appeared between the two weapons, but they quickly healed under the notarization of the Void Tree.
As for why the Void Tree would notarize this place, it was because in the Void Tree's judgment, if it didn't notarize and reinforce this location, by the time these two decided the victor, the Star Realm might collapse. From the start of the battle until now, every time their attacks collided, all worlds within the Star Realm could feel the tremors—the closer to the top of the Star Realm, the more pronounced.
Eyes met. Su Xiao pressed down with his blade, but an endless dark force surged from the blade. With a boom, he was blasted away by the dark impact. On the other side, golden-red blood splattered as a slash mark appeared on the Supreme Being's chest.
A dark giant beast that appeared out of nowhere bit down on the Blood Beast's phantom. Both were tens of thousands of meters in size. Amid this clash of auras, two figures broke through each other's auras and clashed—Su Xiao and the Fate Incarnation.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
It seemed like five exchanges of blows, but in reality, this was countless attacks converging together.
The invisible "Fate Incarnation" stood before the Supreme Being. The second characteristic of this incarnation manifested: when it materialized its form, it could replicate all attacks of the chosen target.
"Darkness: Strangle."
The Supreme Being coldly stared at Su Xiao, his pupils turning into dark vortices.
Clang!
Su Xiao used his crystal left arm to block the Fate Incarnation's blade spine strike. The Demon Spirit, as if detaching from his soul, was sent flying in his place.
Su Xiao made a virtual slash downward. Crack—another concept or rule shattered. The darkness in his "Place of Beginning and End" suddenly disappeared entirely.
Yes, Su Xiao's slash had shattered the concept of darkness. But because the concept of darkness was powerful, this concept shattering only lasted a few seconds before he withdrew his Grandmaster slashing might.
Each time he shattered a concept or rule, he not only had to shatter it but also suppress its repair. Because regardless of whether it was the Star Realm, the Abyss, or the Elements, once a concept or rule was damaged, it would begin to repair itself.
For major concept systems like darkness or light, after shattering one, Su Xiao had to use all his Grandmaster cause-and-effect to suppress its repair. For secondary concept rules like levitation or gravity, he could destroy about three simultaneously.
The crystal ground beneath Su Xiao's feet let out a mournful cry as he charged forward. The wind howled violently past his ears. He hadn't charged far when a strong sense of crisis hit him. A half-meter-long black spike shot toward him, piercing through his chest. The next second, his chest erupted in a devouring explosion, and then dark devouring spread to his head, killing him.
Zheng, zheng, zheng!
Su Xiao made three consecutive slashes, cutting apart the devouring spike that, according to causal fate, was destined to hit him.
Yes, this was one of the unsolvable abilities produced when a Technique-type reached its peak. Regardless of the level of attack faced, one could predict the fatal damage about to be suffered. Note: "any existence's" "any attack."
A strong wind pressure came head-on—it was the dark impact. This move seemed very simple, but from the start of the battle until now, Su Xiao had been blasted by it until his bones felt like they were falling apart. The 20% life core he had lost so far were all due to this move.
"Extreme Blade: White Night."
The brilliant golden long sword slashed down, splitting the incoming dark impact in two, passing on either side of Su Xiao.
The Star Staff floating beside the Supreme Being continuously shot out barrel-thick dark rays from its tip, forcing Su Xiao to stop mid-charge. This brief pause allowed the battle to be again controlled by the Supreme Being.
A hundred meters apart, the Supreme Being reached forward with one hand. Almost simultaneously, Su Xiao's vision suddenly turned completely white, with only a dark hand reaching out, then grasping his heart.
Blood flowed from Su Xiao's seven orifices. He stood frozen in place, his heart already shattered. But the Spirit Shadow Threads that immediately pierced into his chest quickly stitched his heart back together.
A sky-covering dark giant hand, capable of grasping the entire Star Realm bare-handed, pressed down from above. Su Xiao's entire body crackled, and an unparalleled pressure made him unable to move an inch.
Tap, tap, tap~
The Supreme Being, holding the dark blade, walked step by step, calmly raised the dark blade, and slashed down.
A large splash of blood flew up, but as it scattered, the blood gradually turned into dark blue smoke. A hundred meters away, the blood on Su Xiao's hand slowly flowed onto Dragon-Slaying Flash. He somewhat slowly slashed down—such a casual slash, yet it made the giant hand pressing down from above abruptly stop and quickly collapse.
"Extreme Blade..."
Su Xiao's aura grew increasingly powerful. This was the second killing move of his blade technique. After fighting for a period of time, his "Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash" ability could brew a move extremely restraining to the opponent.
Dark spikes crisscrossed chaotically between heaven and earth, piercing through Su Xiao. At first glance, it seemed so. In reality, with Su Xiao's current powerful physique, such attacks could no longer break his defense. But it did interrupt his attack and temporarily restrict him.
A marble-sized dark hole appeared in Su Xiao's chest. He immediately swapped positions with the Demon Spirit.
A muffled explosion. The marble-sized dark hole expanded into a kilometer-diameter black hole, erupting with terrifying suction.
The moment Su Xiao reappeared, a dark hole appeared on his shoulder. He sidestepped at his current full speed. Mid-sidestep, the black hole beside him had already begun to expand.
Boom!
Another kilometer-diameter black hole appeared, swirling to absorb everything around. Su Xiao's figure flickered continuously. While evading the fifth dark hole, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared.
Clang!
The Fate Incarnation's head-on slash knocked him back, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack and pop. He was about to be blasted back. Behind him were five black holes erupting with suction force. The Demon Spirit was trapped in one of them, being restrained.
"Selfless Realm: White Night."
Su Xiao slashed out. The entire Place of Beginning and End trembled. All black holes shattered. Even the knockback force from the Fate Incarnation was shattered like transparent crystal. Under absolute slashing force, nothing couldn't be broken.
The systems of Su Xiao and the Supreme Being were fundamentally two extremes. The Supreme Being was perfect and comprehensive—not only without weaknesses, but powerful in all aspects. In contrast, Su Xiao was the extreme of a single aspect—using the blade in his hand to cut down everything.
The Fate Incarnation, just knocked back, met again. Dark blue smoke rose from Su Xiao's long blade. With a clang after a clash, the Fate Incarnation, which had temporarily replicated Su Xiao and thus reached the limit of physique, stumbled backward, then slightly hunched over, the "Sever Fate" long sword in its hand even slipping free.
Dark blue smoke appeared on her body. Essentially, the Demon Spirit and the Fate Incarnation were of the same origin but different systems. So at this moment, the two were clashing with each other. To put it in a very down-to-earth and inelegant way, these two beings of peerless beauty and temperament were pulling each other's hair.
Darkness pressed down like mountains and seas. With a clang, the long blade clashed against the dark blade. A dark slashing might grazed Su Xiao's cheek, leaving a blood mark while also causing him to instantly get the same hairstyle as Kingsley due to the wind pressure.
Su Xiao stomped the ground. Behind him, the Blood Beast materialized and roared, causing the approaching Supreme Being's expression to briefly freeze.
"Extreme Blade: Abyss Breaker."
Su Xiao slashed out. As this slash was made, the entire Star Realm began to tremble. More strangely, this slash passed through the Supreme Being's chest without causing any damage.
An impact hit Su Xiao, sending him flying as an afterimage. The Blood Beast appeared behind him, spreading crimson wings like dragon wings, abruptly stopping his backward flight and allowing him to land steadily.
Gurgle~
Like bubbles rising from the deep sea. The Supreme Being raised his hand. Darkness evaporated from his hand. His black robe began to lose its color, signifying that he had permanently lost his domination over Abyss power.
Yes, this was the risk of fighting the strongest Technique Grandmaster in history. At the start of the fight, there wasn't a strong feeling. But after fighting for a period of time, the strongest technique ability called "Heavenly Edge Shadow Slash" could brew an ability extremely restraining to the powerful enemy before him. And "Extreme Blade: Abyss Breaker" was the culprit that caused the Supreme Being to permanently lose his domination over the Abyss.
The Supreme Being looked at the last wisp of darkness evaporating from his hand. Having fought until now, he began to feel anger. Noticing this, the Supreme Being's anger dissipated, because he hadn't felt emotions for a long time.
The Supreme Being seemed to awaken somewhat. Had the former Supreme Guardian returned? No. Feeling emotions he had lost for so long, his desire for domination grew stronger. Whoosh—as if ignited, an invisible light-golden flame appeared on the Supreme Being's body.
Elemental power, thick to the point of being visible to the naked eye, began to emerge in the Place of Beginning and End. Yes, the Supreme Being began to dominate elemental power. If the previous state was the ultimate enhanced state of the Lord of the Abyss, then now it was the transcend-limits stage of the Elemental Spirit King.
The Supreme Being grasped a strangely shaped elemental blade in the form of a long sword. And this transformation had no transition process—after losing the Abyss state, he immediately entered the Elemental state.
Surging elemental power erupted outward. Su Xiao raised his crystal left arm before his face, gazing at the Supreme Being through the gap between his index and middle fingers. Suddenly, he noticed the Supreme Being's pupils turning into the color of flames.
Almost simultaneously, the elemental ocean raging outward suddenly transformed into a sea of fire. Su Xiao was in this blazing sea of fire, crystal layers climbing over his entire body. Even so, the true fire damage caused his life core to rapidly shatter one by one, his entire body in agony. Just as he was about to charge through this fire element, he saw himself at full speed instantly burned to bones.
In this elemental flame, the faster the charge speed, the higher the true fire damage endured. One could only say, what garbage the Spellcasters had developed with elemental fire—this was the true terror of elemental fire.
Moreover, these elemental fires would use the attached person's primordial life force as fuel. Commonly known as, the more life cores, the more violently it burned. Therefore, the elemental fire around Su Xiao was now in explosive combustion.
Before he could break the situation, the Supreme Being, floating a dozen meters above, grasped the Star Staff. Whoosh—all the elemental fire in the field began to explode. And the elemental fire enveloping Su Xiao began to violently explode.
A cyan light appeared on the Star Staff. Wind element power descended, further intensifying the fire domain, burning the space within its range to a glowing red, with signs of melting. From a rule system perspective, space couldn't melt. The problem was that the intensity of this elemental fire exceeded the rule system.
Standing still would endure less elemental fire, but that was a path to death. Moreover, the technique soul seemed to be ignited by this elemental fire.
"Extreme Blade: Flowing Fire."
In an instant, the elemental fire affecting the entire Place of Beginning and End was suddenly absorbed and gathered onto Dragon-Slaying Flash. Su Xiao disappeared from his spot and appeared before the Supreme Being, the fire blade slashing down.
Thump!
The Supreme Being turned into an afterimage, crashing onto the ground. Under the influence of earth element, the original crystal ground had turned into soil. And where the Supreme Being fell, it was like an earth hand lifting him up.
Su Xiao wouldn't give the Supreme Being any breathing room. At limit speed, he just flashed to the Supreme Being's front and slashed down with force.
The long blade clashed against the elemental blade, like a thunderclap. If talking about slashing force, Su Xiao was definitely stronger—his focused development method was this forceful slash. But now, the Supreme Being possessed incomparably vast, even immense power—this was the power of the earth.
Su Xiao was immediately blasted back through layers of air. It wasn't that he was outmatched, but rather that forcefully enduring the earth power was no way to practice Technique Grandmaster techniques. Mid-flight.
"Extreme Blade: Azure Demon."
Pfft!
A slash opened the throat. Blood scattered from the Supreme Being's throat. His upward-supporting hand paused. The magma pillar that was about to burst from the ground and swallow Su Xiao slowed, allowing Su Xiao to slash it apart with one strike.
Pfft, pfft!
One slash cut through the chest, one slash entered the shoulder. Su Xiao, who had been flying backward moments ago, had already pressed forward again. This was:
"Extreme Blade: Instant Return."
The long blade continued to sink into flesh, about to cut off a small part of the Supreme Being's body. But suddenly, Su Xiao stopped his slash. And the injured party, the Supreme Being, had long since released the elemental blade and pressed one hand toward Dragon-Slaying Flash's blade spine.
After all this happened, it was immediately transferred.
Pfft~
Su Xiao staggered back a few steps. His crystal left arm, connected to part of his torso, fell to the ground with a slap. On the opposite side, the Supreme Being hadn't had part of his torso cut off. He raised one hand. Under the surging earth vein power, Su Xiao was about to be blasted back.
"Perfect Block."
With a crisp clang, Su Xiao wasn't blasted back. The Spirit Shadow Threads tightened, pulling back the fallen crystal left arm and small part of his torso. Cell-level stitching, combined with his current powerful physique's healing ability, suppressed the injury.
Clang!
Another slash carrying the vast power of earth veins was once again perfectly blocked. With Su Xiao at the center, an impact spread outward, causing the entire Star Realm to tremble.
Clang!
The elemental blade still carried vast earth vein power. No, that wasn't right. Even if the entire earth vein system was mobilized, its power wouldn't be this astonishing. The Supreme Being, starting with earth element power, had pried open the weight of the entire Star Realm and slashed down with one strike.
Clang!!
Su Xiao stepped back two steps. The ground where he stood had been damaged to the point of being riddled with holes. Moreover, the "Blazing Sun Star," closest to the Place of Beginning and End, was already covered in cracks throughout its world, on the verge of collapse.
The Witch Realm, Wind Sea Continent, and Ten Thousand Races Realm—these three transcend realms—also showed signs of impending doom. This was despite Su Xiao and the Supreme Being being at the top of the Star Realm, and the top of the Star Realm being notarized and reinforced by the Void Tree.
Otherwise, no matter who won or lost when these two fought to the end, the entire Star Realm would definitely be impacted to collapse by the aftermath of their battle. One could say, compared to the destructive power of these two's fight, the Abyss Calamity was really a little brother.
Clang!!
Another slash carrying the weight of the entire Star Realm. But this time, Su Xiao didn't use Perfect Block to dissolve. Instead, he met it with a slash.
A large number of slash marks suddenly appeared on the Supreme Being's body. His pupils contracted, and he immediately understood what was happening. This Law Destroyer had, with some technique power, broken through the speed limit that the concept of "slash" could reach.
That is, before meeting this slash of Star Realm weight, this Law Destroyer had already slashed out super-speed slashes so fast they were invisible, even causing existence and causality to briefly slow down.
Su Xiao immediately slashed down with force. This time, it was the Supreme Being's turn to be on the defensive. Fist-sized water balls appeared beside the Supreme Being, shooting toward Su Xiao.
Just as Su Xiao had the thought to dodge, he felt his thinking being soaked in water, beginning to slow down. One could only say, the Spellcasters had used the basic elemental powers too poorly. Now that their true power was displayed, it was truly hard to adapt.
Even the thinking level was slowed down, so naturally the body couldn't dodge. With two pops, two water balls landed on Su Xiao's chest and right arm. His chest and right arm began to liquefy, and this liquefaction rapidly eroded, spreading to the soul, existence, until his entire person turned into a large amount of water liquid, eventually evaporating into natural elements.
Thinking indeed couldn't react in time, but instinctual prediction made Su Xiao slash out twice. The destructive power of limit slashing erupted, causing the two water balls to be immediately devoured and evaporated. Moreover, Su Xiao, still in the thinking-water-soaked state, casually slashed out:
"Extreme Blade: Azure Demon."
A blood mark appeared on the Supreme Being's chest. At this point, even the Supreme Being was somewhat speechless against this Technique Grandmaster. This kind of combat instinct + annihilation characteristic slashing indeed looked simple, but when actually fighting, it was found to be much harder to deal with than those time-type or rule-type abilities.
Those seemingly unsolvable abilities, in the final analysis, used oneself to pry open external power. But this Law Destroyer's simple instinct + slashing was 100% his own power, with no possibility of deprivation or interference. Otherwise, in the Abyss state, a "Dark Deprivation" might have ended the battle.
Yes, Su Xiao's choice to develop simple abilities to the limit was truly more unsolvable the later the stage.
What made the Supreme Being even more troublesome was that the Grandmaster might of this Technique Grandmaster opposite was growing stronger, representing that this guy would soon brew a method to cut down his elemental system.
Buzz!
All elemental power at the top of the Star Realm converged onto the Star Staff. The Supreme Being pointed this combat staff at Su Xiao.
A few dozen meters away, a strong death tremor appeared. This time, he didn't even need instinctual prediction. Su Xiao was certain that being hit by this move meant certain death.
"Extreme Blade: Ember Extinction."
Su Xiao suddenly became silent. He silently charged forward, slashing onto the elemental starlight blasted from the Star Staff.
Crack, crack!
As elemental power receded, the ground beneath their feet turned back into crystal ground, with crisscrossing cracks becoming denser.
Boom!!!
The loud noise and layers of wind pressure spread. When everything settled, Su Xiao, with several blood marks on his body, had blood dripping from his chin. A gap appeared on the blade edge of his long sword. On the ground, the Supreme Being, with his loose robe covered in tears, had already departed from the elemental state. No, he had permanently lost his command and control over elemental power.
Having fought until now, both sides were heavily injured. Moreover, both would bring out their final killing moves.
The Supreme Being immediately entered the "Star Realm Lord" state. On the lightning blade in his hand appeared a power that could swallow causality and devour existence.
On the opposite side, dark blue smoke rose from Dragon-Slaying Flash in Su Xiao's hand. Yes, both sides had recalled their respective Demon Spirit and Fate Incarnation, thus using their final killing techniques.
The previous clash of ultimate techniques had left the two sides ten thousand meters apart. The next moment, a resounding sound came from beneath both their feet as they prepared to deliver the fatal blow in their strongest forms.
The top of the Star Realm, already battered and broken, could no longer bear it. The crystal ground cracked in the middle with a snap, causing the two combatants to disappear from each other's sight.
From a side view, on the collapsing crystal ground on both sides, both turned into afterimages, eventually converging at the breaking point—the highest point of the current Star Realm top ground.
Pfft!!
The long blade and lightning blade pierced through chest and neck respectively. Su Xiao's chest was pierced, the Supreme Being's neck was pierced. And both sides' killing techniques took effect simultaneously.
Both maintained this posture, temporarily holding on. After a moment, Su Xiao's death-losing-force straight kick made the Supreme Being retreat several steps. Eventually, both fell with a thud, dying together.
Meanwhile, in the Void Tree notarization zone, the Star Realm big shots watching everything through the giant screen were all stunned speechless.
At this moment, at the top of the Star Realm, only a few hundred square meters of crystal ground remained, roughly circular, that hadn't collapsed into the void below. On this decisive battle platform, the fallen Su Xiao and Supreme Being were both silent. However, the next second, both sides' index fingers twitched almost simultaneously.
[Life Pulse, X (Extreme Realm Passive).]
Passive Effect: You have gained further insight into the Star Realm, mastering "One of the Star Realm's High-Level Rules: Life Pulse." When all your life cores are shattered and death approaches, you will draw upon a large amount of "Star Realm Primordial Power" to resist this death. You will 100% resist this death while gaining a 5-second "Invincible State" and immediately recover 50% of your current life cores...
...
Not only did both sides' index fingers twitch almost simultaneously, but the same golden light also appeared on their bodies, entering an "Invincible State." This was why both had used their killing techniques so decisively—because they were certain that "Life Pulse" could revive them from killing techniques.
Both opened their eyes simultaneously, flexibly getting up or floating up from the decisive battle platform. There was no sign that they had just died once. Moreover, both had now entered their strongest stages. The true deathmatch had only just begun.
