Chapter 43: A New Name (Grand Finale) (Part 1)
Augusta’s body fell. Floating in the spatial turbulence, it was like a piece of driftwood in the river of chaotic space.
One sword strike. The Light Sovereign, Augusta, was dead!
“Augusta is dead?”
“Linley, he killed Augusta?”
The many Sovereigns couldn’t help but gasp. For countless years, it had been a very, very long time since a true Sovereign had truly fallen.
“A good death.”
The Overlord of Death, the Overlord of Destruction, and over a dozen others. The Sovereigns who had already guessed the relationship between Augusta and O’Brien felt a trace of satisfaction instead!
Two streaks of light flew out from Augusta’s corpse at extreme speed. They were a ring and the light sword.
“Stay!” Linley didn’t have time to chase. He could only control the fused Sovereign power, condensing it into a circular barrier in the distance, trying to block these two Overgod artifacts.
“My Overgod artifact. It’s not something you can keep.” O’Brien’s low voice echoed in Linley’s mind. In midair, the light sword’s radiance suddenly surged, and with a “puff” sound, it directly pierced through the barrier. Linley only saw two flashes of light, and then the two Overgod artifacts had vanished before his eyes.
Seeing this, Linley couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Overgod artifacts were originally the property of the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien. With O’Brien controlling them with his will, the flight speed of the Overgod artifacts far exceeded the flight speed of a Sovereign.
In the void a hundred billion miles away from Linley, a white-robed O’Brien extended his right hand and grabbed the light sword flying over from afar. This light sword was originally the Overgod artifact of Fate. On another body, Augusta, it naturally couldn’t display its full power, but in the hands of the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, its power increased greatly.
That ring was also worn on O’Brien’s finger.
Augusta’s Overgod artifact could be remotely controlled by O’Brien from a distance, and it could be used without needing a drop of blood. Watching this scene from afar, the many Sovereigns, especially those who hadn’t realized that O’Brien and Augusta were the same person, were all shocked now.
Even the dullest person would understand upon seeing this!
Augusta and O’Brien were the same person!
“Ah! So Augusta and Lord O’Brien are the same person! Then… Lord O’Brien had already reached Great Perfection long ago, gaining an extra portion of Willpower. He once achieved ten consecutive victories in the planar wars, gaining another portion of Willpower. With a Sovereign clone, the soul of the Overlord of Fate would also undergo a transformation, gaining yet another portion of Willpower! Although the Sovereign clone is now dead, what is lost is only the Willpower contained in the Sovereign spark. The Willpower from the soul’s enhancement is unchanged. So now, Lord O’Brien…”
All the Sovereigns were completely stunned.
At this point, everyone realized the terrifying strength of O’Brien!
The transformation of the soul is irreversible. Once the soul is enhanced, it cannot be said that because one clone is destroyed, the soul power of another clone decreases.
Therefore, Augusta’s death had no effect on the strength of the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien. It only meant that he, O’Brien, had lost one life.
“So, he has a full two extra portions of Willpower more than me. No wonder he could catch my Overgod artifact with his bare hands.” The Overlord of Destruction, Utreid, had a face as calm as water as he silently watched everything.
All the Sovereigns watched… to see how the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, would retaliate against Linley.
“Whoosh!” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, reached his speed limit, streaking across billions of miles of void. In less than a minute, he had crossed a hundred billion miles and appeared within Linley’s line of sight.
Linley held the Life Overgod Sword, standing in the void, surrounded by spatial turbulence.
“Your speed is indeed fast.” Linley actually smiled in admiration.
“Your courage is indeed great.” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, smiled at Linley. “It seems you are full of confidence.”
“But I feel that your confidence is also very strong.” Linley said with a faint smile. “Do you think you can kill me with just one Overgod artifact? Oh, I almost forgot. You are also a member of the Bula clan, and you split your soul and thoughts into two. For countless years, you’ve been able to study like a madman without rest. I suppose you have a trump card.”
Hearing Linley say this, a smile appeared on O’Brien’s face.
“I am fortunate to be born a member of the Bula clan. Although pure physical defense is far inferior to super divine beasts like the Four Divine Beasts or the Black Tortoise, we Bula clan members have unlimited potential.” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, had an inexplicable light in his eyes. “Personality determines fate! Due to the complexity of thoughts, many geniuses have limited achievements. But I can discard the complex thoughts that hinder my progress, casting aside all evil, greedy, and mad thoughts, leaving only what I need.”
Linley smiled faintly: “So, there was the mad, domineering, and greedy Augusta, and also the peerless expert O’Brien, who ignored worldly affairs and devoted himself to research?”
“Right.” O’Brien nodded and smiled. “To be honest, the innate abilities of us Bula clan members are not strong enough. Back then, when I was at Great Perfection, although I had a Sovereign clone, in terms of strength, I wasn’t sure I could definitely defeat other Rule Overlords. So I had to conceal my strength and not let them be wary of me. If the three of them joined forces, I would surely lose. Therefore, they couldn’t know that Augusta was me.”
“Of course, that’s also why I had 182 children! Actually, those children were all human infants with decent talent selected from material planes shortly after birth. After the infants grew up, they couldn’t possibly remember things from when they were one or two years old. Under Augusta’s nurturing, they naturally believed Augusta was their father. Very naturally, the Augusta clan was formed. Who would suspect that Augusta was me?”
O’Brien smiled easily.
“You were so cautious in the past. But now, it seems you’re not afraid anymore?” Linley said with a faint smile.
The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, smiled and nodded: “To be honest, now, I don’t even consider the other three Rule Overlords worth mentioning. Because… all these years, I have never revealed my full strength. You managed to destroy one of my bodies, which is quite impressive. Out of respect for you, today I will reveal all my strength. When you die, I will let you die contentedly.”
Linley frowned slightly.
O’Brien’s confidence was clearly at its peak as he spoke and laughed.
“Kill me? Augusta also said he would kill me, but in the end, I killed him.” Linley smiled. But suddenly—
“Sizzle——”
The Life Overgod Sword in Linley’s hand instantly transformed into a green light. A dark green beam, as thick as a finger and condensed to the limit, flashed by. Space seemed to be cut by a pair of scissors, leaving an extremely fine crack. Before even the divine sense could clearly detect it, Linley’s Life Overgod Sword had already stabbed into the body of the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien.
The ultimate move—Sword Intent!
After the fusion of the four laws reached completion, Linley’s strength increased a thousandfold. It was terrifying. The power of this sword strike could be imagined.
“Clang!”
A crisp sound.
O’Brien even smiled as he looked at Linley, not even using the Fate Overgod Sword to block. He let Linley’s sword strike him directly.
“What!” Linley’s face changed drastically.
“Impossible!” The Overlord of Destruction, the Overlord of Death, and many other Sovereigns watching from afar couldn’t help but exclaim. They had already guessed the approximate power of Linley’s sword strike. If it relied solely on physical defense, logically, no one could resist it. Not even a Sovereign!
“Haha…” O’Brien couldn’t help but laugh.
“Since the creation of the universe, including the one you just completed, Linley, a total of seven Overgod missions have been issued. Among them, the other three Rule Overlords and you, Linley, each obtained an Overgod artifact, completing four missions! Publicly, I obtained the soul defense Overgod artifact, and Augusta obtained the attack Overgod artifact. But there was another Overgod mission. Do you know who completed it?” O’Brien was very pleased.
Linley was shocked inwardly: “Could it also be…”
“It was also me.” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, was beaming. “This Overgod artifact is the material defense Overgod artifact!” As he spoke, a pure black armor appeared on O’Brien’s body surface. This defense Overgod artifact had already merged perfectly with O’Brien’s skin.
Linley’s heart turned cold.
The many Sovereigns watching from afar were completely silent.
Good heavens!
This O’Brien was too heaven-defying. He actually possessed the soul defense Overgod artifact, the attack Overgod artifact, and the material defense Overgod artifact all in one. With these three Overgod artifacts, even if O’Brien just stood there, probably no one could kill him!
“O’Brien…”
The Overlord of Destruction, the Overlord of Death, and the Overlord of Life no longer had any ambition to compete. These three Overgod artifacts were enough to plunge the heart of anyone full of confidence into a deep valley.
“Normally, I would transform this defense Overgod artifact into the Augusta Garden. I have already refined and bound it. Under my control, it doesn’t emit any aura. Although many people were curious about this floating garden of mine and knew the Augusta Garden was unusual, no one knew… it was the material defense Overgod artifact transformed.” O’Brien laughed.
The Augusta Garden was originally the material defense Overgod artifact!
O’Brien seemed to be in a very good mood, actually revealing all these secrets.
“What, after hiding for so many years, you’re exposing all this today?” Linley and O’Brien were a million miles apart, both very vigilant.
The two peak existences among Sovereigns were talking loudly in the spatial turbulence, a million miles apart, their voices like thunder.
“Haha, I no longer need to hide.” O’Brien laughed. “As for why I don’t need to hide anymore, you’ll find out soon enough.” O’Brien showed no sadness at losing a Sovereign clone; instead, there was a kind of pride and satisfaction in it.
“Oh?”
Linley smiled.
“Swoosh!” Linley immediately turned into a rainbow, fleeing at extreme speed.
“What bad luck. This O’Brien actually has three Overgod artifacts! Not to mention that his strength is not inferior to mine; even if he were a bit weaker, with these three Overgod artifacts in hand, he is already completely invincible. I didn’t expect that just after my breakthrough, I would encounter such a heaven-defying figure.” Linley felt helpless.
“Flee?” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, also turned into a flash of light and chased at extreme speed.
In terms of pure Willpower, the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, had three portions more than an ordinary Law Sovereign. Linley had one portion more than an ordinary Law Sovereign. However, Linley possessed fused Sovereign power. It could be said that in terms of pure brute force, the two were about the same.
However, in terms of speed, Linley was not particularly skilled.
And the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, had researched for countless years. It could be said that he had reached the pinnacle in defense, attack, speed, and other aspects.
Now, in the chase, O’Brien was clearly a bit faster than Linley.
“So fast!”
“This speed is unbelievable.”
In the spatial turbulence, the many Sovereigns observing this scene were completely stunned. Whether it was Linley or the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, in terms of pure speed, they had already surpassed all other Sovereigns.
“This Linley has actually become this strong.” The Overlord of Destruction sighed. The Overlord of Death, dressed in a purple robe, who had flown to his side, sighed: “Linley is strong. But this O’Brien has hidden himself too deeply. Now that he has revealed his strength, we no longer even have the qualification to challenge him.”
The Overlord of Destruction also nodded helplessly.
With three Overgod artifacts in hand, who would dare to fight O’Brien? Those Sovereigns who had submitted to the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, were now overjoyed.
“Haha… So Lord O’Brien is actually this powerful. Among Sovereigns, Lord O’Brien is absolutely invincible.” A long-haired man with black horns couldn’t help but laugh.
“Everyone, Lord O’Brien is about to kill that brat Linley. Oh, Linley has already fled into the Life Overgod Plane. Let’s go over and watch too.” The Fire Sovereign, Bertier, said with a smile. This immediately drew responses from many Sovereigns around. By now, they all considered Linley as good as dead.
Linley was strong, probably stronger than the other three Rule Overlords.
But the one chasing Linley was O’Brien! The unfathomable O’Brien, who possessed three Overgod artifacts!
“Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”…
In the spatial turbulence, figures of many Sovereigns also hurried towards the Life Overgod Plane.
In the Life Overgod Plane, Linley was fleeing at extreme speed ahead. Behind him, the distance between the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, and Linley was getting closer and closer.
Although the two were initially a million miles apart, after a short chase, O’Brien was about to catch up.
“Not good, it’s that move again!” Linley’s face suddenly changed.
The distance between the two was still less than ten miles. And at that moment, a vast aura came from behind. Linley’s fused divine sense easily detected… the phantom images of the four divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird—appeared above O’Brien’s head, beneath his feet, and on his left and right sides.
Billions of miles of space instantly froze. On the ground below, many powerful beings who were either cultivating or fighting were also bound by the solidified space. They were all terrified but unable to move.
“Xiu!” A transparent stream of light shot from O’Brien’s mouth towards Linley.
Time and Space Distortion!
“Hmph.” Linley turned his head and opened his mouth.
Similarly, one after another, two transparent sword shadows shot out. They were Linley’s strongest soul attack.
The transparent stream of light collided with the transparent sword shadows.
The transparent sword shadow trembled violently and instantly dissipated, while the transparent stream of light shrank by a full size. Then it immediately collided with the second transparent sword shadow. “Bang!” The second transparent sword shadow also dissipated. The remaining faint transparent stream of light had just entered Linley’s body when it was dispersed by his soul power.
“Impressive. You actually blocked this move.” O’Brien’s voice echoed in Linley’s mind.
“The amplification of this move of yours is far inferior to Utreid’s.” Linley transmitted back.
In terms of the amplification of profound mysteries, Linley’s soul attack and material attack were ten times stronger than a Great Perfection expert!
The Time and Space Distortion that O’Brien used had an amplification of only a few dozen times. Compared to Linley’s soul attack, it was only a few times stronger. It wasn’t enough to kill Linley.
“Haha. That’s because Augusta and I each refined only one drop of the Four Divine Beasts’ blood essence.” O’Brien laughed. “Refined one drop?” Linley was puzzled.
He had given them eleven drops of Azure Dragon blood essence, and even more of the other three divine beasts’ blood essence. Why did O’Brien and Augusta each only refine one drop?
But Linley didn’t have time to think more.
“He’s catching up again.”
This time, O’Brien didn’t use a soul attack. Instead, he held the Fate Overgod Sword, intending to engage Linley in close combat.
“Hmph.” Linley gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around, and charged back at O’Brien!
The two were only a few hundred meters apart. With the extreme speed of a Sovereign, how brief would their rush towards each other be? But O’Brien, being the peak figure among Sovereigns, had an extremely fast reaction speed. However, since Linley was the one attacking first and was prepared, he immediately executed a Sword Intent.
“Qinghuo, how is it?” Beirut transmitted worriedly.
In a distant part of the Infernal Realm, a figure had just torn through space and arrived. It was Qinghuo.
Earlier, the Sovereigns had been relaying news about the battle between Linley and Augusta in the spatial turbulence. Beirut, feeling uneasy, had arranged for Qinghuo to go to the spatial turbulence to observe.
“Beirut, Linley killed Augusta.” Qinghuo quickly said.
“Really? That’s… great.” Beirut was overjoyed. “What’s wrong with you? Your expression is off.”
“But…” Qinghuo’s face was ugly. “That Augusta and O’Brien are actually the same person. That O’Brien…” Qinghuo began to describe in detail what he had seen. As he described, Beirut’s face grew uglier and uglier, until finally, his body even trembled slightly.
“It’s my fault for harming Linley!” Beirut said in a low voice.
“What do we do now?” Qinghuo asked weakly.
“What else can we do?” Beirut sighed. “I don’t know how to tell Bebe, or the others.”
Just then, Beirut frowned: “Eh? They’re back? Qinghuo, Linley’s father, Hogg, and mother, Leena, have already returned to the teleportation array of Bloodpeak Continent. Go and bring them over immediately. Linley… we can’t help him. But we must protect his family and friends.”
“Alright.” Qinghuo’s divine sense also detected Linley’s father and mother.
At that moment, Hogg and Leena were rushing towards the Celestial Sacrifice Mountains at extreme speed.
“I know everything. I remember everything now.” Leena’s eyes were full of worry. “My child… Linley, did he go to kill the Light Sovereign? Will Linley be alright?” The moment Linley killed Augusta, all the angels born from the Angel Rebirth Pool controlled by Augusta instantly regained their freedom.
Leena recalled everything. Everything in the Yulan Plane. Everything about becoming an angel.
She immediately remembered the son she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy, Linley and Wharton. Only now did she truly begin to worry about Linley.
“Whoosh.” Qinghuo appeared before them in an instant.
“Qinghuo.” Hogg and Leena recognized him at once.
“Qinghuo, how is my child Linley?” Leena asked anxiously. Although she had seen Linley before, at that time she was still under control and had no real feelings for Linley. Now, Leena could be considered Linley’s true mother.
Qinghuo’s expression was grim. He sighed: “Come with me.”
Crimson Sovereign power enveloped Hogg and Leena, and they immediately turned into a red light, disappearing into the sky. Soon, they arrived at the Celestial Sacrifice Mountains.
Beirut also came to greet them. Qinghuo also went up to meet them.
“I can’t explain Linley’s situation clearly for now. I’ll tell you later.” Beirut looked at Hogg and Leena and said. At this moment… Linley’s fate was unknown, and Beirut didn’t want to say more.
Hogg and Leena exchanged glances, both with worry in their eyes.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation came from afar. Beirut and Qinghuo almost simultaneously turned their heads, looking towards the southern end of the Infernal Realm, the end of the Chaotic Sea.
“Linley!”
“O’Brien!”
Beirut and Qinghuo were both greatly alarmed.
Linley and O’Brien were frantically fighting all the way, bursting out of the Life Overgod Plane and then charging into the Infernal Realm, which was closest to the Life Overgod Plane. They appeared above the endless Chaotic Sea at the southernmost tip of the Infernal Realm.
Almost immediately afterwards, a large number of Sovereigns also tore through space and arrived in the Infernal Realm.
The many Sovereigns were all watching this unprecedented and spectacular battle! However, everyone kept a great distance from Linley and O’Brien, because watching the two fight… everyone knew that not even a Law Sovereign, not even the other three Rule Overlords, could guarantee their lives in front of Linley and O’Brien.
The universe collapsed again and again. Countless powerful beings in the Chaotic Sea had long since dived deep into the ocean, but the spatial tremors coming from above the sea still made them tremble. What kind of terrifying power was this?
“Haha, Augusta, I thought you were so powerful, but it seems your attack power is quite ordinary. To kill me… you’re not enough!” Linley’s voice echoed through the universe.
“Linley, the profound mysteries of your attack are indeed very strong. Admirable! If your Overgod artifact were compatible with your attribute, I’m afraid it would really be difficult for me to kill you.” The voice of the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, also sounded.
Linley and O’Brien faced each other from ten thousand miles apart above the Chaotic Sea.
Although they were ten thousand miles apart, with their powerful auras, even without using divine sense, they could clearly sense each other’s presence.
“Kill me? How?” Linley sneered.
A dark green light flowed over Linley’s body, and the bloody wounds were constantly being repaired. In terms of pure Willpower and Sovereign power, Linley and O’Brien were evenly matched. In terms of attack profound mysteries, Linley was a bit stronger than O’Brien. But in terms of attack Overgod artifact, O’Brien was a bit stronger than Linley.
This resulted in Linley and O’Brien being almost equal in terms of pure material attack.
However…
O’Brien had a defense Overgod artifact. He could ignore defense and focus only on attack. Linley, on the other hand, needed to be careful with his defense. Naturally, Linley was at a disadvantage because of this. But Linley wouldn’t lose his life because of it. After all, the gap between the two wasn’t that big.
The many Sovereigns watched nervously. At this point, everyone realized—
Among Sovereign-level experts, Linley and O’Brien were the strongest. However, O’Brien, with his three Overgod artifacts, was in an invincible position. So in the eyes of the many Sovereigns, this battle between the strongest since the creation of the universe would be the final battle in which Linley would fall.
Many Sovereigns felt sorry for Linley.
“In ten thousand years, reaching this level. Linley can be called a genius of the ages. What a pity, such a figure is about to die.”
“Even if Linley dies, these countless planes will never forget him. After all, he is the only one who has the qualification to fight O’Brien and be almost evenly matched, the pinnacle Sovereign expert.” The many Sovereigns discussed, all feeling sorry for Linley.
At the same time, a trace of admiration for Linley arose in their hearts. For someone who was about to die, many people would forget his faults and no longer be jealous… Naturally, everyone felt some sympathy for Linley. But they could only watch helplessly as Linley was gradually killed.
“Haha… Linley!”
The voice of the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, sounded again above the Chaotic Sea. A confident smile was on his face. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a satisfying fight. Linley, I really enjoyed fighting you. I really hate to see you die… but I don’t want you to live.”
“Aren’t you wondering why I’m no longer hiding my secrets now?” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, laughed.
Linley looked at O’Brien from afar and nodded slightly: “Why?”
“That’s because, not long ago, to be precise, during the planar war, when I saw the Reincarnation War Formation constructed by your six Sovereign envoys, it gave me a spark of inspiration. After that, it took me only a few decades to perfect the ultimate move that I had never been able to complete.” The Overlord of Fate, O’Brien, smiled.
“Ultimate move?” Linley frowned.
At this moment, O’Brien actually transmitted his voice: “Yes, the ultimate move! Over the countless years, it didn’t take much time to develop the Reincarnation Golden Body. The ultimate move I truly researched is the strongest material attack, Transcending Reincarnation.”
“Transcending Reincarnation?” Linley was secretly shocked.
O’Brien transmitted with emotion: “Linley, you are also a dead man walking. I’ll tell you some of the secrets I’ve discovered! I discovered long ago that the operation of the countless planes is too clear. For example, those planar teleportation arrays. Who built them? The Overgods? The Overgods are just manifestations of rules. Why would the Overgods do these things?”
“Also, why is there a planar battlefield? The purpose is obviously to reduce the number of experts and maintain a balance of experts in the planes.”
“All these arrangements… give me a feeling that the countless planes are under the control of an invisible hand.” O’Brien said.
Linley was startled.
What O’Brien said made a lot of sense. These countless planes seemed to be under the control of an invisible hand.
“I want to break free from this shackle! Break this control!” O’Brien’s eyes shone with a piercing light. “Over the countless years, my initial goal was to surpass all Sovereigns. Later, when I became invincible, my goal was to create the strongest material attack and shatter this universe. I want to make it so that this heaven and this earth can no longer stop me or bind me! I want to transcend this reincarnation!”
Linley was shocked.
“Through countless years of research, I have studied countless races and also discovered many secrets.” O’Brien’s smile was full of self-satisfaction. He didn’t want to tell these things to other Sovereigns. As for Linley… in his view, Linley was doomed. So, the words hidden in his belly for countless years were all said in one breath.
“The universe is space. So, I paid special attention to some innate abilities related to space. In my view, if I could create an attack that could break through this spatial universe, what would happen? The destruction of the universe? Or reaching a new universe? I don’t know. But I’m looking forward to it.”
“The move Transcending Reincarnation. After countless years of research, I have continuously perfected it, absorbing many experiences, and constantly increasing its power. But I always felt something was wrong. Later, when I learned the move Time and Space Distortion from Utreid, I realized the problem. So, most of the Four Divine Beasts’ blood essence you gave me was consumed in research.”
Linley finally understood why, despite giving so much Four Divine Beasts’ blood essence, O’Brien and Augusta each only used one drop.
“But even so, the move Transcending Reincarnation was still not coordinated enough. When I saw the Reincarnation War Formation constructed by your Sovereign envoys, I suddenly understood… Magic formations! My move could be perfectly integrated with a magic formation, making it more complete.”
A triumphant smile was on O’Brien’s face. “I finally succeeded. This move, Transcending Reincarnation, I consider it to have reached its peak. Its power is definitely stronger than Time and Space Distortion.”
“Linley, out of respect for you, I will let you die under this move. Experience it. My Transcending Reincarnation.”
A seemingly sacred light appeared on O’Brien’s face, like mortals in material planes worshipping a deity. He raised the Overgod Sword in his hand.
“Hum——”
Around O’Brien, four sword shadows appeared. One sword shadow was emerald green, one was earth yellow, one was fiery red, and one was light cyan. The four sword shadows began to spin rapidly around O’Brien. Immediately—
“Boom rumble…” The universe began to change color.
The sky darkened, the earth dimmed.
All the Sovereigns observing this scene were completely stunned. What a terrifying aura this was!
This move, Transcending Reincarnation, was the most terrifying move O’Brien had created after countless years of research, absorbing various experiences and advantages!
“The only chance to survive.” The moment O’Brien began to execute this move.
Linley’s first reaction was—
“Swoosh!” Linley frantically fled into the distance.
The spinning four sword shadows converged onto the Fate Overgod Sword, forming a giant sword phantom a hundred meters long.
One sword. Slashed out—
“Crash…” In the infinite distance ahead, a terrifying spatial chasm appeared. The spatial tremors caused within billions of miles killed countless lives in the Chaotic Sea. This sword shadow, containing four colors, almost instantly reached Linley.
Almost at the same moment the other party slashed out that sword, Linley’s body instantly split into three. The Dragonized Linley, the Water Sovereign clone, and the Wind Sovereign clone.
“Hah!” The Dragonized Linley roared, gripping the Life Overgod Sword with both hands, and fiercely met that sword shadow.
“Boom!”
Linley only felt as if an entire universe was pressing down on him. Almost instantly, the dragon scales on the hands gripping the Overgod Sword were shattered, bones broken, blood flowing profusely. The Overgod Sword trembled violently, flew out of his hands, and at the same time, the rebounding slanted blade cut into Linley’s chest like cutting through a piece of paper.
With a “sizzle” sound, Linley’s chest was completely cut off diagonally, from the shoulder slanting down to the waist. Linley’s half body flashed with light and immediately transformed into the Earth Sovereign clone.
The Life Overgod Sword, having blocked that sword shadow, flew like a meteor, shooting into the far distance.
“Terrifying.”
Everyone was completely terrified.
The three Linleys were now fleeing at extreme speed into the distance. Strangely… at this moment, Linley didn’t go after the Life Overgod Sword at all.
“The Overgod artifact is indeed tough enough. Using the Overgod artifact to obstruct it, he managed to save his life. But there won’t be a next time.” O’Brien’s figure chased after Linley at extreme speed, preparing to use his ultimate move again.
Whether it was the Rule Overlords, ordinary Sovereigns, or those close to Linley like Beirut and Qinghuo, they were all terrified.
“Too strong.” Linley recalled the scene just now. “The attack power was so strong that it shattered the dragon scales on my palms, broke my bones, caused the Life Overgod Sword to rebound and cut my body, and even shot it into the distance.” It must be noted that Linley’s body, especially when infused with Willpower and fused Sovereign power, was much stronger than an ordinary Sovereign artifact.
Yet, it still ended up like this.
That move, Transcending Reincarnation, was too terrifying.
“Countless years of research, indeed strong.” Linley’s gaze, however, was fixed on a figure in the distance—the Fire Sovereign, Bertier.
Bertier was together with other Sovereigns who had submitted to the Overlord of Fate, O’Brien.
“Lord O’Brien is too strong. That move is simply… unmatched.” The black-horned man laughed.
“Tsk tsk. Linley managed to save his life. But even his Overgod artifact was knocked away. How can he block the next attack?” Bertier also laughed disdainfully. He had always been somewhat jealous of Linley, and Linley’s reprimand last time had made Bertier dislike him.
Of course, he wanted O’Brien to kill Linley.
“Everyone, Linley is flying towards us. Get out of the way quickly!” These Sovereigns immediately dodged to the side. But they weren’t too worried.
Because they thought Linley was just taking this direction by chance while fleeing.
But strangely—
“Xiu!” When these Sovereigns changed direction, Linley’s direction also abruptly changed. Linley’s speed was more than a hundred times faster than these lower-level Sovereigns. He almost instantly rushed in front of them.
“What?” Bertier’s face changed drastically.
“Boom!” Linley’s fist directly smashed into Bertier’s head.
The weak Fire lower-level Sovereign had no ability to resist in front of Linley.
“Fire Sovereign spark.” Linley almost instantly let a drop of blood seep into that Fire lower-level Sovereign spark. Linley’s gaze was sharp. “At this point, there’s no other choice. Only by refining the Fire Sovereign spark can my strength make another great leap!”
Linley had no other choice. He didn’t want to die.
And if he died, what would happen to Beirut, Qinghuo, the Four Divine Beasts clan, and even Linley’s family in the future? No one knew.
So, Linley had to act.
There were many Fire Sovereigns present, but the only one Linley disliked was this Bertier. Naturally, he didn’t hesitate and chose this unlucky guy.
“Boom rumble…”
The universe changed color.
Endless fire elements gathered in the sky. That Fire Sovereign spark also merged into Linley’s Fire divine clone. Refining the Sovereign spark was only a matter of an instant. Linley’s various souls underwent another transformation. Willpower once again merged into his soul. Besides this—
“Fusion of the four Sovereign powers!”
