Invincible

Just as Quan Juehua was about to strike down the warship, his eyes narrowed slightly. He noticed several Transcendence-grade items embedded into the battleship. Even across countless light-years, he could clearly catch their scent. It was precisely those Transcendence-grade items that had made him hesitate for a split second before striking. Immediately after, he realized that those Transcendence-grade items seemed to be clashing with the items on the insect swarm's side. After watching fixedly for a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing. Because too many unreasonable powers existed within the Tree Universe, even though Quan Juehua was already invincible among Mighty Ones, he had dared only to keep a low profile and act from the shadows. Yet just a moment ago, he discovered that Transcendence-grade items could counter one another and nullify their effects. This was very likely a newly emerged version update of the Tree Universe. That being the case, he no longer had to worry about other Mighty Ones sniping him from the dark! With Transcendence-grade abilities neutralized, he truly was invincible under heaven! Keep a low profile? Low profile be damned! A vicious glint flashed in Quan Juehua's eyes. Without delay, he slashed his saber toward the distant warship. When he slew Robos, he had actually held back, not wanting to draw too much attention. But now, he had no scruples left. Fierce Saber—Dream's End Here! Radiating outward from Quan Juehua's blade, terrifying saber qi surged forward in an instant. This saber qi was not only exceedingly long, but unfathomably thick as well. Its width alone spanned tens of trillions of light-years, straddling countless worlds. Several branches were severed on the spot, pieces plummeting into the boundless Between Being and Non-Being. The worlds nestled within those branches were doomed to be utterly obliterated in that void. Upon a certain branch, Margot Moxi was absorbing Calamity Origin from the battlefield. The more powerful the entities, the vaster the war, the more origin was bound to be produced. It was because Margot Moxi recognized this that she had ordered the Mechanical Empire to feign weakness, luring the insect swarm into surrounding the ship and dragging them into a war of attrition. In truth, had Margot Moxi stepped in herself, a mere insect swarm would have posed no threat at all. But the insects still held utility, so she allowed them to run rampant—as long as the benefits flowed to her, that was all that mattered. Yet while the Mechanical Empire and the swarm were locked in relentless combat, a pitch-black blade beam suddenly struck. The Insect God only had time to glance back before its body was engulfed by the colossal black blade beam, reduced to ash and vapor in an instant. Endless legions of insects and machines were wiped out alongside it. "Not good!" Margot Moxi sensed the incoming blade beam as well. Rising to her feet, she witnessed the nearly invincible hull of the Mechanical Empire being torn to shreds. In a mere flash, the black blade beam was right before her face, separated by only the slightest sliver of distance. A gap so narrow that not even a single atom could squeeze between them. Death! In that instant, as if experiencing a final terminal lucidity, Margot Moxi realized she had reached the end of her life. The strike was too horrifying. Even if she poured out everything she had, she could not withstand it. Memories flashed through her mind—her beginnings as a digital virus, her era as a digital lifeform. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes and sighed softly. "Xiao Ji, I'm sorry. It seems this is as far as we go." "Your Majesty owes no apologies. At least we campaigned across the realms together. And being by Your Majesty's side made me very happy," the voice of the Mechanical Empire transmitted into Margot Moxi's consciousness in the form of data. In the next instant, the black blade beam swept through. The Mechanical Empire and Margot Moxi vanished together. Even this branch of the Tree Universe was cleaved open with a colossal rift, before thick mist immediately welled up, blanketing the slash mark entirely. With Margot Moxi's death, Quan Juehua felt a tremendous volume of Calamity Origin materialize inside him out of thin air. The Origin Seed cracked open ever so slightly, and roots bristling with destructive aura slowly crept out from the fissure. "Hahahahaha! Keep a low profile? No, now I can be as loud and arrogant as I damn well please!" Sensing his newfound power, Quan Juehua burst into manic laughter. He felt himself take another step closer to Origin Return. ... Zhen Realm, the dark chamber. Yu Xian had originally been watching the grand battle between Margot Moxi and the Insect God. The sudden black blade beam left him utterly stunned. Once it faded, he promptly shifted his perspective, only to spot Quan Juehua radiating a dark purple aura all over. "Quan Juehua... is back!" Seeing Quan Juehua, Yu Xian's expression grew grim. That blade strike just now was simply too terrifying. Perhaps this was Quan Juehua's true strength. Margot Moxi had already seemed dreadful enough in Yu Xian's eyes, yet Quan Juehua could slash across countless branches and obliterate both Margot Moxi and the Insect God with a single swing. *No good, I have to warn Nora and the others,* Yu Xian immediately thought. Before he could act, however, a chill ran down his spine. He noticed that Quan Juehua, who had just been laughing like a madman, now appeared to have his eyes fixed directly on him. Could it be... he'd been discovered? How was that possible?! He was peering at Quan Juehua from within the Zhen Realm, yet Quan Juehua could still lock onto him! Suddenly, the feed went dark. Yu Xian instantly sprang from his chair to leave the Zhen Realm, only to discover right away that there was no way out. Outside, Quan Juehua had appeared outside the Zhen Realm without anyone noticing. A ring on his finger was firing a green laser that clashed against the Zhen Realm. Because the Zhen Realm was being countered by a Transcendence-grade item, the entire realm had sealed itself off. "It seems Transcendence-grade items and Transcendence-grade creations work the same way!" Quan Juehua muttered to himself, staring ahead. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled upward in an almost uncontrollable grin. In the past, he had been exceptionally wary of this contraption. Wherever the Zhen Realm appeared, he would keep a wide berth, wanting nothing to do with getting dragged inside. Now, however, he would never have to fear it again. Even using the shittiest Transcendence-grade item was enough to completely restrain the Zhen Realm. As luck would have it, he possessed plenty of trash-tier Transcendence-grade items. Due to his lack of wealth luck, the things he acquired were always absolute garbage and utterly useless to him. Even though his formidable power had allowed him to obtain several Transcendence-grade items, they were all of the unusable sort. For instance, the Guaranteed Spiral Stink Fart Belt—what the hell was he supposed to do with that? Yet now, it actually had a purpose! In an instant, Quan Juehua took out a belt, followed by a Realm-Locking Lock he had personally forged. Linking the belt and the lock together, he hurled the lock forward. The Realm-Locking Lock rapidly elongated, wrapping around the Zhen Realm like an octopus and encasing it completely, while the belt adhered tightly to the realm's surface. Retracting the laser, Quan Juehua laughed. "From this moment forth, in this realm there is no longer anyone who can threaten Quan Juehua, nor anything that can kill me!" With a shove as calamity power erupted, the Zhen Realm immediately plummeted into a branch. "Fierce Saber, Severing Strike!" Still unsatisfied, Quan Juehua waited until the Zhen Realm had fallen deep within the branch, then slashed the branch clean off. This way, the Transcendence-grade world would plunge forever into Between Being and Non-Being. Once the branch wore away into nothingness, that world too would be utterly annihilated under the power of Between Being and Non-Being.
