Chapter 315: Chapter315-War Across the Heavens
Above, below, left, and right—John was surrounded by fatal attacks on all sides.
"Hmph."
He gave a cold snort, and the moment his thought stirred—
[Ding! Your battle intent is being absorbed by Ignatz!]
[Prompt: You currently have no battle intent...]
"Hm? So this is Ignatz’s Heartsource Power?"
John raised his brows slightly, then revealed a cold smile.
"Thunder of Judgment! Descend!"
Rumble!!!
The power of thunder swept across all things, shattering every evil and unholy force.
"Incarnate as tribulation."
Tribulation Power surged within John’s body, resonating with the distant Law of Thunder Furnace.
Although that furnace was not a cosmic origin power, it had formed a system of its own, and its might was no weaker than a cosmic origin.
Boom!
John transformed into a streak of lightning and charged toward the four powerhouses like a bolt from the heavens.
Wherever the tribulation light passed—
Duran’s endless energy was split apart.
Aldric’s starry river scroll shattered inch by inch beneath the tribulation light.
Even Corwin’s powerful body, which had refined half a universe, could not withstand the sharpness of the tribulation light. His form was erased.
Corwin, broken.
The tribulation light advanced like a hot knife through butter. Even with the support of one million avatars, Duran could not withstand a single strike.
Even Aldric, who had comprehended origin power and divine-transformed a sea of stars, was torn apart like paper before the tribulation light.
Ignatz’s Heartsource Power was completely ineffective against John, who had transformed into tribulation light.
He too was broken in an instant.
In a single brief moment, the demigod-grade projections of the four peerless powerhouses were all suppressed by John.
At that moment, a prompt rang beside John’s ear.
[Ding! Dao Discourse successful!]
[Prompt: You have obtained the qualification to challenge the will of the universe!]
"...???"
John was momentarily stunned by the prompt.
Challenge the will of the universe?
Something even Peak Sovereigns could not challenge, and they wanted him to do it?
Whoever wanted to go could go. He certainly was not going.
He was reckless, but he was not stupid.
At that moment, another system prompt immediately rang out.
[Prompt: You have obtained the qualification to challenge the will of the universe at demigod grade.]
[This challenge will be forcibly initiated.]
[Prompt: Upon successfully completing the challenge, you may obtain a mysterious reward.]
[Prompt: Upon successfully completing the challenge, you may create the Extreme Peak Demigod Tribulation.]
[Prompt: If the challenge fails... there will be no punishment.]
"The demigod-grade will of the universe."
"Forcibly initiated?"
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of John’s mouth. This time, it was no longer up to him.
The will of the universe was the embodiment of the infinite universe itself. All living beings were shrouded by it, whether visibly or invisibly.
"If I win, there are rewards. If I lose, there is no punishment."
"If that’s the case... it’s worth a try."
He had never expected to defeat the will of the universe, even if it was only a demigod-grade manifestation.
If living beings were but a single point within an infinite circle, then the will of the universe was the truly perfect circle itself.
As John was thinking, the space before him suddenly rippled, and a figure emerged.
That figure’s appearance, physique, clothing, and aura were all identical to John’s.
But John could see it clearly.
Around that incarnation of the universe’s will, which looked exactly like him, countless powers of law were surging.
Those laws were like docile beasts, casually commanded by the incarnation of the will.
John’s gaze sharpened, and his scalp tingled slightly.
[Incarnation of the Universe’s Will]
[Strength]: demigod grade
[Mastery]: Three Thousand Laws, First Order; [Body of Will]; [Soul of Will]; [Dominion of Will]...
[Introduction]: A demigod-grade projection of the incarnation of the universe’s will, capable of suppressing all demigod-grade beings.
No powerhouse has ever fought it to a draw or defeated it.
Those capable of receiving one move from the incarnation of the will are already dragons among men.
Those capable of exchanging several moves with it without defeat can be called invincible.
Those capable of fighting it fiercely without defeat—
None have ever existed.
"So this is the incarnation of the universe’s will."
"It can command the Three Thousand Laws at will. Who could possibly fight that?"
Three thousand did not refer to a specific number. It was a concept.
Infinity.
It meant there was no law that the universe’s will did not master.
John had yet to break through to the High God level and had not formally come into contact with the power of laws. Compared to it, he was truly at a disadvantage.
"John."
The incarnation of the universe’s will gazed at John and spoke indifferently.
"The power of laws is divided into nine orders. The ninth order is the extreme."
"I will only use first-order law power to fight you."
"If I cannot defeat you, or if I am defeated by you, then it will count as your victory."
"After you win, you will naturally receive opportunities and gifts beyond your imagination."
Hearing this, a smile appeared at the corner of John’s mouth.
If those were the conditions for victory, then it should not be too difficult.
One had to know that among the countless universes and countless living beings, those who could enter the Heroic Spirit Corridor were already one in a million.
Anyone with such qualifications would almost certainly step into the Sovereign Realm in the future.
Even so—
Among those heaven-defying geniuses who had suppressed entire eras, not a single one had ever succeeded in challenging the incarnation of the universe’s will.
Let alone creating the Extreme Peak Demigod Tribulation.
From this alone, one could see how terrifying the incarnation of the universe’s will was.
If John could remain undefeated in a battle against the incarnation, that alone would be unprecedented.
There had been no one before him, and there might be no one after him.
"John, come and fight."
"Defeat me, and accomplish what no one has ever accomplished."
The voice of the incarnation of the will echoed through the space.
"Kill!"
"Incarnate as tribulation!"
Tribulation Power surged within John’s body. Lightning covered him from head to toe as he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged straight toward the incarnation of the will.
"Law of Time."
The incarnation of the will spoke without hurry.
"Time Freeze."
"Spatial Law.
"Law of Karma.
"Law of Destruction."
The incarnation of the will casually summoned several powers of law.
John’s lightning-transformed figure suddenly froze, as if sealed within amber.
The surrounding space and time had both been taken under the incarnation’s control.
Wherever the Law of Destruction passed, even a Peak Sovereign’s body would struggle to endure it.
The Law of Karma made the target unable to avoid the attack. It would inevitably hit.
At this critical moment—
"The Eight Divine Arts."
"Divine Art: Qimen."
"Inner World!"
Boom!!!
The space around John changed violently, forming an independent space-time of its own.
"Divine Art: Qimen."
"Disorder!"
Invisible ripples spread outward with John at the center.
Immediately afterward, he released the Inner World and returned to reality.
The next instant—
The damage that those countless powers of law should have inflicted upon John suddenly reversed, surging back toward the incarnation of the will instead.
The incarnation of the will smiled faintly and waved its hand, effortlessly dissolving an offensive force powerful enough to suppress a High God-level powerhouse.
"The inherited divine arts of the human race..."
The incarnation of the will spoke.
"As expected of a race favored by the Great Dao. The potential of the human race is indeed limitless."
"John, you are the first demigod capable of exchanging one round with me without losing."
Hearing this, the corners of John’s mouth lifted slightly.
Although defeating the will of the universe was extremely difficult, for the will of the universe to defeat him was equally as hard as ascending the heavens.
"I can win."
The incarnation of the will controlled the Three Thousand Laws. Its strength was sufficient to suppress all beings of the same grade, standing above all living creatures.
Across countless ages, no living being had ever forced it to admit defeat of its own accord.
