Chapter 1 He Wasn't Using His Full Strength?

[He wasn't using his full strength when he faced Yadun?]

[That's right. Back then, the opponent was only in humanoid form. As far as I know, the Earth civilization's 'true form' is similar to our warships and armors. That's the real combat form.]

[No, when dealing with Yadun, we can only say that he didn't use his ultimate methods. And this blade isn't actually Su Zhou's strongest power, just his strongest 'Starfield Strategic Strike' ability!]

Even so, it's still exaggerated.

The three venerables watching from the sidelines were not exactly shocked, but they were indeed quite moved.

Su Zhou's actions were not impossible for them to do in their prime. It could even be said that, with their easy divine powers, they were best at dealing with these large armies gathering their strength. Because unless an attack reached a certain level, no matter how large it was, it couldn't affect them.

In other words, unless it was an attack from a venerable oneself, even if it gathered more collective strength, it couldn't harm these incomparably powerful Cenosian venerables.

It was precisely because of this that these Children of the Planet were the main force against the眷屬 armies of the various otherworld evil gods in the past.

But how long has it been since Su Zhou advanced to Celestial Venerable? How long have they cultivated?

This was what made these venerables from before the Silent Era feel unbelievable.

At this moment, Su Zhou's countless true bodies dispersed.

The curvature blade he slashed out using Yadun's divine power was ultimately eroded and weakened by the entire vanguard army's combined psionic network, and then self-destructed.

The Eternal Entropy Chronometric Curve, this great divine power was precise and profound, and it was the same for Su Zhou—after all, he was only just manipulating Yadun's divine power and turning it into his own. Inexperience was inevitable, so naturally he wasn't flexible enough, and the other side saw through the flaws and then broke it.

But for Lothar, the fact that Su Zhou could unleash that blade in itself was incredible enough.

--Could there really be someone who could directly defeat him and his army with pure power?!

--Could there really be a 'new generation venerable' who had just entered the venerable realm who could unleash destructive power that many venerables in ancient times couldn't unleash, and wield a star-splitting strike that was enough to shatter worlds and shake stars?

--Could there really be someone who could defeat an entire army of transcendents, with a former venerable, now a peak α-level, sitting in command, with his own strength?

Even among Ω-level venerables, not everyone could do it!

[Su Zhou...]

At this moment, inside the flagship, Lothar understood.

Such an existence was the greatest enemy blocking them.

Only such an existence could stop the Void.

Only like this...

Could they be worthy of the 'correctness' that they yearned for and hoped to fight against!

[Requesting reinforcements!]

It could be seen that his mycelium-like body began to swell and glow. The mycelium aggregate, which originally looked like a white gasbag, instantly became huge and translucent, with endless rune arrays reorganizing, reconstructing, and condensing all of its own foundations and power within this body.

He became truly serious, and then, without hesitation, used the most courageous tone to say the most cowardly words: [Request reinforcements immediately!]

According to the Void Cult's most adept method, Lothar ordered his subordinates on the other side: [Notify headquarters! We have encountered a great enemy, let the Negotiating Envoy and the Annihilation Envoy come as soon as possible!]

[Also, summon the Hierarch—His target is here!]

Now, Lothar had understood that he was going to use his last and strongest means to fight Su Zhou.

Otherwise, his fate would probably be to be completely eaten by the other party, with no bones left.

--Huh, that's strange, why 'eaten'?

Putting aside the inexplicable strange thoughts that welled up in his heart, at this moment, he could also see.

Seventeen thousand kilometers away, Su Zhou, who was already close to the entire vanguard army, didn't hesitate to retreat after his true body collapsed.

On the contrary—he held the Blade of Extinction and strode forward!

The countless fragments of his true body seemed to have a life of their own, gathering towards a huge phantom that suddenly appeared in the world behind the youth!

It was a seven-headed great scarlet dragon with a blurred face, but with an aura that seemed to devour the heavens and earth.

That was Su Zhou's psychocosmic body!

The fully manifested psychocosmic body was as large as three-quarters of the moon. In fact, as a pure spiritual power aggregate, a phantom of the soul, the size of the psychocosmic body was still becoming more and more majestic and clear as it constantly absorbed the spiritual energy aftermath that had been overflowing from the surrounding attacks.

And the fragments of Su Zhou's true body that had gathered were like shattered swords and blades that had been reunited into a ferocious and majestic armor, covering it, making the great dragon even more terrifying.

Now, the seven-headed giant dragon stood tall in the cosmic starry sky.

It raised its head and spewed out torrents of elements that were enough to scorch the world in all directions, using them to force back the vanguard army's battleships and generals that were rapidly approaching, trying to set up array base points and suppress and seal Su Zhou.

In an instant, the entire Dandelion Galaxy was penetrated by seven elemental torrents of various colors, illuminating everyone's eyes. The Void vanguard army didn't show any weakness either, and tens of millions of spiritual light cannons streaked across the vacuum, hitting the huge psychocosmic body and causing dazzling sparks to bloom on its shield and armor.

The surrounding spiritual energy field began to tremble violently. Every planet, whether it had life or not, had its own stable spiritual energy field, just like a magnetic field.

But now, the seventh planet around the vanguard army and Su Zhou's battlefield, a huge rocky planet, was trembling violently. Because the spiritual energy ripples caused by the psychocosmic body and the vanguard army's battleships attacking and defending against each other shattered its own spiritual field, instantly, visible torrents of vigorous energy, stabilized between the stars, shot out along with the planet's cracking, like spiritual energy rainbows erupting from the depths of the earth and rushing into the sky.

The energy balance of the planet was broken, and this overflowing energy was even used again by both sides to better destroy their enemies.

Countless spiritual light afterimages densely filled the void, like a never-ending rainstorm.

And in the midst of this endless blasting and vibration, Su Zhou silently charged forward with his blade, turning into a stream of light in space.

Compared to the psychocosmic body, which was being targeted by concentrated fire, his human-shaped body, which could be considered his true body, received very few attacks, but there were still tens of thousands.

Of course, ordinary spiritual light beams couldn't break through the spiritual energy field defense brought about by Su Zhou's own spiritual energy cycle at all. Even if they could break through, they would be blocked by the preliminary immaterialized outer armor. But there were still some special battleships and Void Cult powerhouses that could break through Su Zhou's defense.

The youth raised his head, he could see that among the endless, mighty torrent of Void Cult battleships, there were a few points that were too hot.

The attacks launched from there were all genuine great divine powers, great mights, planet-destroying attacks that were enough to pose a threat to star-level targets.

Although they looked like ordinary light beams, ordinary spells, he needed to draw his blade to cut them down and erase them.

Conquest Envoys, in essence, use their legion army to form an 'external great array.' Their army is a part of their cultivation, their great divine power. As long as they cultivate strong enough experts and incorporate them into their system, then the Conquest Envoy's strength will increase by leaps and bounds, even achieving a result greater than one plus one equals three.

There was no doubt that this was a very orthodox path of 'coordination.' Of course, Su Zhou felt that some Conquest Envoys also took the path of 'returning to one,' but no matter which side it was, it proved their extraordinary nature.

Especially these Void Cult Conquest Envoys, their armies have fought alongside them for many years, and there were already experts among them who had stepped onto the path of immortality, just not as strong as Lothar.

The attacks they launched, although not enough to really injure Su Zhou, were enough to affect his pace forward.

"As expected, it's not that simple."

Su Zhou muttered to himself in a low voice, narrowing his eyes. He had originally planned to take advantage of the momentum of his true body shattering and the Void vanguard army's collapse to break into the vanguard army's main camp.

After finding that Conquest Envoy's true body and killing Lothar, he would completely wipe out this Void fleet.

But now it seemed that, after all, he was an old powerhouse. Even if he couldn't judge Su Zhou's strength at first, Lothar was now cautious and began to hide his tracks.

He was secretly gathering strength, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Su Zhou after reinforcements arrived.

But he underestimated Su Zhou's methods.

Boom! The heavens roared and the earth shook. The great dragon that had been staying in place began to move, like a wandering planet.

How tough and powerful was Su Zhou's psychocosmic body? The seven-headed great scarlet dragon was originally a target to attract attention and assist Su Zhou in breaking through. But now that the other side was prepared, he didn't need to let the psychocosmic body pretend to be a non-movable turret.

And after the psychocosmic body began to move, the surrounding Void Cult fleets went crazy, attacking the great dragon like they didn't care about their lives. One after another, space battleships with strong armor and advanced engines simply treated themselves as expensive missiles, crashing straight towards Su Zhou, intending to stop the seven-headed giant dragon's movements.

But it was meaningless.

The great dragon waved its heads and flapped its wings. Its seven heads swept around, its mouths opened wide, and spiritual energy hurricanes like tornadoes swept through the vacuum of space, causing the oncoming battleships to sway and be sucked into its mouth, like a strawberry cake that had been sent in itself.

Then, their fate was to be chewed and ground to pieces by the psychocosmic body, swallowed into its belly, and broken down into various rare alloys and natural treasures, synthesized into new true body materials and modules.

The moving seven-headed great scarlet dragon was even more ferocious and terrifying than the entire vanguard army's momentum. And Su Zhou no longer personally charged forward, but instead condensed a crystal shield in his hand again, and the Blade of Extinction in his hand was also replaced with a long spear, stabbing and killing those special individuals and powerful existences hiding in the general fleet from afar.

At this moment, what Su Zhou held in his hand was the World Tree Spear!

Speaking of early or late, the spear was the weapon Su Zhou used earliest. Back then, it was he who used the spear to pin the An Dynasty Devil Emperor to death on the Divine Wood Beam, and then executed him with a divine blade.

Of course, it wasn't because he felt that spearmen had bad luck, but because the Blade of Extinction was really too easy to use. As a result, after Su Zhou had a spear made from the branches of the World Tree, he rarely used this divine weapon, only using it against the sky devils because of its compatibility.

Later, with the expansion of his personal space, in order to ensure that the earth element land had a base point, Su Zhou even used the World Tree Spear as the seed of the World Tree, planting it in the center of his personal space, as the foundation for anchoring the world.

After that, he basically never used the spear again.

After all, compared to weapons in the general sense, the World Tree Spear wasn't tough. Its essence was more like a magic weapon, a special 'divine artifact,' which needed to be used with special techniques at specific times to unleash great power. Forcing it to be used at other times was nothing more than doing twice the work with half the effort.

But now, it was precisely the time to use the spear!

Using the long spear to kill a special trans-era battleship that was intending to rush over and self-destruct, dragging him into the temporal current, and sweeping away the surrounding threats, Su Zhou raised the divine spear in his hand.

"I declare!"

He spoke the declaration of the king of the Norse Europa god system of the ancient era.

And the blessing originating from the Great Existence, the World Tree, responded at this moment.

The cyan radiance shone, presenting the connections between countless existences to the eyes of the blessed.

In an instant, the blessing of the World Tree descended. Su Zhou saw it, he saw Lothar, saw the immortality entwined around him, and the billions of 'causes and effects.'

—Conquest Envoy Lothar's immortality originated from his group, his army.

He himself carried the souls of all his subordinates, and all his subordinates had a part of his soul, some mycelium spores.

In other words, Lothar's immortality was rooted in 'coordination.'

He and his army were mutual proofs of immortality. As long as one soldier was still alive, he, as the commander, wouldn't die. And as long as he was still alive, all the soldiers could be resurrected even if they died.

It was like a菌, the spores of the菌 flew in the heaven and earth. Of course, it couldn't land in most areas, but as long as there was a little bit that could be landed and grown, then the overall菌 would be immortal.

And soldiers were the soil for the菌 to grow, and the existence of the菌 could make the soil forever stable and fertile.

It seemed like it was achieving immortality by swallowing itself like an ouroboros, but in reality it was completely different. This must be a divine power that could only be achieved through complete dependence and complete trust in each other!

It sounded like a perfect divine power, and in fact, it was indeed difficult to crack.

Because to crack it, one must have the strength to overcome the combined power of the entire army and Lothar.

So, for Su Zhou, it was very simple.

He only needed to kill Lothar quickly, not be seriously injured, and then, within a certain period of time, wipe out the entire vanguard army that had begun to scatter and flee.

Because he saw Lothar's location, that inconspicuous command ship located in the rear of the left wing of the entire fleet.

Bright spiritual light lit up in Su Zhou's eyes, like two suns rising from the horizon.

He locked onto the true spirit with the Samsara Eye. The Conquest Envoy, who had already sensed that he was locked on and was emitting incredible emotions, was about to roar and retreat, but the youth had already poured all his spiritual power into the World Tree Spear.

Then, he made the next declaration.

"I will use this spear to destroy you!"

He said this, and then threw the spear.

At the same time, Thunderclap, Bedrock, and Radiance, the three Cenosian venerables, also solemnly added their blessings.

[In the name of endless storms and thunder!]
[In the name of immortal bedrock and firm rocks!]
[In the name of unquenchable radiance and eternal brightness!]

[This spear pierces everything!]
[This spear is indestructible!]
[This spear never deviates!]

The World Tree Spear wasn't tough in itself.

But just like the world, it could carry all divine powers and powers.

In Su Zhou's power and the blessings of the three venerables, the tip of the originally simple divine wood spear began to stir up howling storms, the soft shaft became incomparably strong, and a light guided it, guiding it towards that Conquest Envoy who was gathering strength, intending to defend.

Layers of spatial ripples vibrated, like waves in a tsunami. The divine spear was thrown out and pierced through time and space.

Whether it was raging flames and thunder, or cannon fire and divine light, or other Void Cult fleets that were trying to intercept it, using their ship bodies as shields to block this strike, they were all fragile like paper. In an instant, they were pierced through, broken through, and turned into stardust in the universe.

Even if there were experts who took action, intending to use their full strength to block and deflect the trajectory of the divine spear, they would only vomit blood and fly backwards, unable to hinder it in the slightest.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, in less than a second, the divine spear crossed a distance of 170,000 kilometers, half a light-second, and hit its target.
