Chapter 720 Synthesized Great Zhu Zhao (7000, Monthly Ticket Request at the Beginning of the Month!)

[Null Sect!!! This is what you called 'the strength of the Seres drastically reduced, the defense is empty'?!]

[You dare to deceive my race... I will never let you go!]

Pivot's roar stirred up waves in the spirit world.

In his heart, the Null Sect was deliberately deceiving them, the Entropy Shadows, into launching an expedition to deplete the fighting power of the Seres.

Although they had sensed that the Seres were indeed weak before, and there seemed to be no Alpha or Omega level guardians.

But how could such a thing be known simply by cross-universe reconnaissance?

Although there is no deception in Entropy Shadow society, they are masters of ‘concealment’ precisely because of this.

Who knows if these old opponents of the Seres are pretending to be weak, waiting for their group of Entropy Shadows to foolishly rush up and offer themselves?

This is considered normal for Entropy Shadows. During the war years, countless powerful Entropy Shadows disguised themselves as low-level Entropy Shadows. No one knew if a wisp of mist wandering next to a city was a super powerhouse above the Immortal level.

Therefore, the Entropy Shadows signed a contract with the Null Sect, who had deliberately contacted them, to allow this local force in the sealed universe to investigate the current power of the Seres—because of the contract, they believed that the Null Sect would definitely report the truth.

The Null Sect said there weren’t any, so there definitely weren’t any!

Since there weren’t any, then they would definitely be fully armed and strike with full force!

As a result, just a few days after striking with full force, Pivot saw the luxurious Venerable group of the Seres civilization, along with a Venerable reinforcement from the Earth civilization.

On the spot, Pivot vowed in his heart that if he could survive, he would kill all the members of the Null Sect who dared to deceive the contract, inflict the ‘Entropy Increase Punishment’, and throw them into the Great Spirit Source to be used as energy sources for all Entropy Shadows!

But this anger and oath cannot affect reality.

[All retreat, I will hold them back and cover the rear!]

At the first moment, Pivot directly ordered all Entropy Shadows in the army formation to retreat. His information flow spread throughout the universe rift in an instant: [Let ‘Subpoint’ and ‘Balance Point’ quickly lead the team to support! If necessary, awaken the sleeping ‘Core Point’ and ‘Relay Point’!]

[If we defend firmly, we still have a chance to win!]

Pivot is indeed a qualified Entropy Shadow leader—he made the right judgment at the first moment.

One-on-one, the army formation still has meaning, but facing multiple Venerables, no matter what, those ordinary army forces are just cannon fodder. Instead of wasting them here, it’s better to return to the back of the space-time rift and defend.

And he must stay behind to cover the rear, otherwise, if the Seres break through the space-time rift, then the Veil Realm will be invaded.

Even if his soul is scattered and he is reduced to ashes today, he must stop these guys in front of him!

Obeying Pivot's orders, many Entropy Shadows who were at a loss in the face of terrifying enemies finally found their backbone. They cheered up again, and then, under the command of secondary commanders, they dispersed like rivers flowing, heading towards the cracks in the universe.

Space-time rumbled and vibrated. Although the vast negative entropy itself has no mass, the spiritual energy it stirs up can distort light.

Pivot's pitch-black shadow body stood in front of many Seres Venerables and Su Zhou. Although his body was still dark, it rippled like water.

It can be seen that in the continuous undulating waves, this dark ripple shows hundreds of millions of facets like gems. He absorbs the energy from the surrounding universe space and spreads a near-absolute zero temperature zone.

Each facet represents a different technique, divine power, quasi-spell, and supernatural ability.

The pitch-black and cold shadow star blocked the spread of brilliance.

For the soldiers in the Entropy Shadow army who were retreating in a panic, the ‘Pivot’ body blocking their retreat was so tall and majestic that they were filled with respect.

Entropy Shadows are eternally living races without external force. They are pure information carriers. They only need to continuously absorb negative entropy to easily maintain their self-structure. Many Entropy Shadows are even veterans who survived from the last universe rift war, and they still remember those Seres Venerables.

So they are more afraid than anyone else.

Pivot is the same, but he overcame this fear.

However, what surprised him was that the Seres did not take advantage of the chaos of the Entropy Shadow retreat to attack. All the Venerables stayed where they were, without any sign of taking action.

--Strange, when did this group of Star Spirits start paying attention to righteous warfare and martial ethics?

Pivot, who was fully prepared for battle, never waited for the Seres Venerables to come and stop him, so he couldn't help but feel confused.

In addition, this Entropy Shadow also discovered... all the Venerables seemed to be faintly centered on that short young man?

[Strange...]

While that little young man stood still, smiling and staring at the Entropy Shadow's every move, Pivot also began to concentrate and observe the Venerable group staying in place.

Then, he saw some clues.

[Those... are just imprints!]

Pivot's body flashed with facets, and he suddenly realized: [So that's it, they are indeed dead, but the Immortal Imprints still exist, and are now being urged by someone to temporarily revive and show anomalies!]

[However, it is still far from true resurrection! Without a few years or decades of recovery, it is estimated that even a physical body will be difficult to condense!]

In the eyes of the Entropy Shadow, those huge Seres Venerable phantoms became illusory. Although they did have substantial Immortal Imprints and huge spiritual energy fluctuations, they did not have the Seres' most powerful ‘Star Battle Body’.

Star Spirits, without their own Star Body, how can they exert 100% of their combat power?

Now? It's just scaring people.

Immediately, the anxiety and urgency in Pivot's heart eased.

[So that's it, you want to scare us away.]

He calmed down, and then faced the Venerable group confronting him from afar and said in a deep voice: [You do have strength beyond our expectations... but not so terrifying.]

[Rather, now is your most vulnerable time! As long as I shatter your Immortal Imprints now, how many thousands or tens of thousands of years will you need to be reborn?]

Saying this, Pivot's tone became more and more relaxed. Later, he was even smiling: [You are not acting now because you don't want to act, but because you can't act! Your power has not yet condensed, and without a body as support, consuming a little entropy is a permanent loss!]

[As long as I fight with you, then even if I die, my race can gain a greater advantage!]

At this moment, Pivot was already laughing loudly. His shadow-like body was surging like waves, like a lake slowly surging under the setting sun in autumn, with hundreds of millions of facets shining with different brilliance.

This scene is very beautiful, very soft, and even gives everyone a strange beauty that transcends race and civilization. This is not like a prelude to an attack at all, but more like saying hello.

However, the tide of entropy surged.

"Oh?"

Su Zhou, who had been watching all this and listening to Pivot's words with a smile, also raised his eyebrows.

He showed a surprised expression.

Because, with Pivot as the center, the cosmic space of the entire Twilight Starfield began to undergo irregular deformation—all the floating spiritual power, the fluttering nebulae, the planetary wreckage rotating quietly in the cosmic space, and the most distorted periphery of the cosmic rift, even light began to shift.

There is a saying from an ancient sage on Earth, 'Give me a fulcrum and I can lift the Earth', and Pivot's ability is similar to this. He can use his own entropy as the driving force and the entire cosmic space as a lever to pry the changes of other 'entropies'.

Su Zhou could sense that at the moment when light and time and space began to shift, hundreds of invisible entropy flows were surging from all directions, rushing towards him in the form of wind, the speed of light, and the heat of fire.

Pivot only moved his fingers, but in the domain he controlled, all power would become the source of his attack.

Very dangerous.

So, the young man took a step forward.

He wielded the Blade of Annihilation and activated the antimatter engine.

Thus, there was a violent burning of light like the sun, and the blazing white spiritual energy flames cut out a band of light thousands of kilometers long in the Twilight Starfield, cutting off all the invisible flows that attacked.

At the same time, Su Zhou and Pivot took a step back at the same time.

"Hmm... strange."

The young man frowned. He could sense that the small ‘Star Slaying Blade’ he had just wielded with the Blade of Annihilation, although it could only cut the surface of the moon at most, should be completely sufficient to deal with those chaotic entropy flows.

However, upon contact, he found that these entropy flows controlled by Pivot seemed to have their own lives. They would continuously absorb the surrounding energy to strengthen themselves, proliferate themselves, and have their own action logic.

In other words, these entropy flows can essentially be said to be another kind of living Entropy Shadow, and a very powerful one, possessing the same nature as Pivot's main body, which cannot be eliminated by any change in entropy.

This is a realm one step further than ‘Magic has Yuan Spirit’. Once a spell is cast, its ‘spirit’ is ‘immortal’.

Although Su Zhou used absolute power to completely defeat and obliterate these entropy flows, it could be seen that there was still an unusual distortion spreading in the light flow he had cut out with the Blade of Annihilation—that was the afterwave of Pivot's power that had not been completely eliminated, just like a bullet shot into a person's body would continue to spin, shatter, and create greater damage.

"As expected of a Venerable from another universe, this kind of divine power is truly wonderful."

Su Zhou's expression became solemn.

But on the other side, Pivot's expression was almost frozen.

[...He is not an Immortal Imprint, but another true Venerable?]

Because he had been fighting the Seres for too long, and there were many old friends among them, Pivot's attention had been focused on the strong men of the Seres of all ages after the Venerable group appeared. Su Zhou's existence was indeed a bit strange, but his ranking was indeed very low.

But who knew that the other party's strength was actually a genuine Venerable level, unlike the other Venerables, who were awakened Immortal Imprints!

[And... he can actually obliterate my power. Where did this kind of spiritual power reserve come from, what kind of old monster is he?!]

Pivot became vigilant, and the shadow-like body even faintly showed some edges.

His attack just now contained the power of ‘Entropy Increase and Decrease’. It was initially just a high-entropy flow that would devour and neutralize the energy of all spells and shields it came into contact with. Even the most powerful magic circle would be penetrated.

Generally speaking, this ordinary high-entropy flow would dissipate after being offset by a large amount of energy, but Pivot's attack was different. The moment the high entropy was filled with negative entropy, it would become a negative entropy condensate—that is, various spiritual energy rays, high-energy particle cannons, and other attacks most commonly found in the universe.

And when the energy level of negative entropy drops again, it will start to transform into high-entropy flow again, repeating this positive and negative, endless cycle.

In the face of such an attack, even the stress in the armor and the bonding force of the molecular bonds would be absorbed and utilized by it.

However, Su Zhou directly shattered the most core transformation structure of the hundreds of spells with absolute power, causing this spell, which should have lasted until the end of the universe, to dissipate.

The end of ‘technique’ encountered the limit of ‘spirit’.

If it were just Su Zhou and Pivot, then their battle might not be over even after dozens or hundreds of days—after all, both sides were meeting for the first time, fighting for the first time, and fighting for the first time. Just to understand the other party's cultivation system would require a long time.

But today is different.

Behind Su Zhou, there are people.

Many, many people.

[Pivot... after a long time, you are still alive]

Behind Su Zhou, the towering crystal mountain giant took a small step forward. The Ω-level Venerable, ‘Crystallized Kromark’, although has no body at the moment, but the anomaly moves, as if it can still shake the stars.

He spoke, his tone steady and majestic: [The Entropy Shadow race has not learned its lesson and is still dreaming of invading our territory—haha, how is ‘Core Point’? I vaguely remember that he was beaten by me and Thanix with shattered thoughts and can only sleep...]

[Heh, better than you being dead]

Facing the provocation of his old opponent, Pivot was angry, but not affected: [Come and attack, even if you spend your origin and help this Venerable from another civilization, you can't cross my defense!]

At this moment, he could sense that the universe rift behind him had already begun to transmit messages, and the powerful Entropy Shadows of the Venerable level might have already known the news, and the fortress had begun to operate.

Just like the Seres can rely on starfield fortresses to block the Entropy Shadow army, the Entropy Shadows can also rely on their Veil Fortress to block the attacks of the Seres.

The war between the two sides can only be a war of attrition in the Twilight Starfield and next to the universe rift.

However, Pivot saw that Su Zhou and Kromark shook their heads at the same time.

Consuming the origin of the imprint?

How is that possible.

At this moment, Su Zhou could hear the Seres Venerable, who was known as the Crystalline, communicating with him in his soul.

[The Veil Realm where the Entropy Shadow race is located only has spiritual energy. Their existence itself is a living spell, an immortal spiritual energy to us]

After being awakened, this Venerable no longer had the original wariness and vigilance towards Su Zhou. After exchanging memories with the other Seres present, they had already understood how Su Zhou fought against the Null Sect, crossed the universe to reach this place, and joined forces with them.

Therefore, He patiently told Su Zhou his views and opinions on Entropy Shadows: [It is impossible to defeat another more powerful spiritual energy by relying on spiritual energy. Even if Su Venerable's spiritual power reserves are far greater than Pivot's and can obliterate his power, in the final analysis, it is impossible to completely defeat him and can only stalemate him]

[Even in the end, your power will be taken away by them and become part of their body, and the body will be worn away and taken to the Veil Realm as a spiritual source to be decomposed]

"Then, how exactly can we fight them?"

Su Zhou asked with interest. Although he didn't have any special way to deal with Entropy Shadows for the time being, he would learn!

If he doesn't know, he doesn't know. Ask other more experienced people and humbly ask for advice. This is also a part of innovation!

In response, the Crystalline nodded slightly. He smiled and said: [I have learned about your Earthlings' system from Tyne-the Prophet and Amolotte... a very powerful path, which is intellectual immortality and an almost eternal inheritance. That is a path that we Seres have never envisioned, a completely different direction]

[But] He said so, with pride: [We children of the planet have embarked on a special path that is different from Earth's ‘immortal inheritance’ and different from Entropy Shadow's ‘immortal spirit magic’!]

[A force that is enough to resist all disasters is also immortal and indestructible]

[That is, a substance that does not change due to entropy... unchanging matter!]

Pivot naturally didn't know about the communication between Crystalline and Su Zhou.

Therefore, since the opponent was silent and seemed to be distracted, he immediately launched an attack!

The Entropy Shadow body, which was originally as misty as a fog shadow, suddenly condensed and turned into a sharp long sword, or even a needle!

Just as the Seres said, the essence of Entropy Shadow is an immortal magic spell for other material life, an immortal divine power that can be extended by self-energy absorption and self-replication—divine power has no fixed form and can be transformed into all dharmas, and Pivot can naturally do so.

Su Zhou's terrifying spiritual power made him fearful. It seemed that he could not gain an advantage in the pure power confrontation, so Pivot chose to ‘condense’ and then ‘stab’.

This stab concentrated almost all of Pivot's power. At this moment, the originally pitch-black Entropy Shadow body abandoned the dim coat it had put on in order to save energy and showed a brilliant surface like the Milky Way—in the hundreds of millions of facets, each facet seemed to have a different star flashing and jumping. They surged and finally gathered into the most terrifying power, a blow that could probably penetrate even a star.

Then, this blow surpassed time and space and distance, and appeared directly in front of Su Zhou at the same time that Pivot launched the attack!

Pivot's power has not yet reached the point where he can pry time and space, and there is no way to directly open a wormhole in a large universe to conduct a super-space-time attack.

But just now, when he and Su Zhou were tentatively attacking each other, he had spread the ‘entropy flow’ that harbored a part of his power to Su Zhou's side.

Entropy Shadow is a living divine power spell. And a divine power spell, even if it is located in different areas, will have an overall reaction.

Relying on the effect similar to ‘quantum entanglement’, Pivot surpassed the distance, and the strongest surprise attack hit the young man's body solidly!

In some situations, this can also be regarded as a power of ‘pivot and lever’.

The torrent of spiritual power as vast as the Milky Way completely submerged Su Zhou.

However, Pivot's heart sank.

He did not sense the feedback he had imagined, that Su Zhou was blown away and seriously injured.

On the contrary.

There is a sound erupting from the still-surging spiritual flow.

[Start loading ‘Crystalline Imprint’, divine power name: ‘Unchanging Matter’, start spiritual power connection]

[Core Yin-Yang Rotating Furnace core pressure increased, engine overload rate 135%]

[Full modular divine power connection, Seres flesh virtual machine started, preparing to enter compatibility mode...]

[External divine power connection successful, full power startup]

It was just a fleeting soul sound, but the increasingly powerful spiritual energy fluctuation made Pivot feel bad.

In an instant, he immediately retreated, withdrew, and returned all the power transmitted through the quantum entanglement effect. If he really couldn't withdraw it, he would leave it in place!

But it was still too slow.

At this moment, the figure of the Ω-level Venerable, ‘Crystallized Kromark’, disappeared behind Su Zhou, and an elemental long knife that seemed to be able to penetrate the universe and the stars began to spread in the universe and the stars between the clear and sonorous knife sounds.

Then, the light flickered and shone.

Even in the thin Twilight Nebula, a terrifying wave far exceeding thunder resounded.

Immediately afterwards, another sword light tore through the sky, cutting the surging Milky Way in half!

It can be seen that Pivot's legacy, the immortal magic like the Milky Way washing over it, was slashed and destroyed by a long knife shining with endless elemental light.

And what was displayed in front of Pivot was a humanoid armor covered with a layer of solidified ‘Crystalline’, and even the long knife in his hand was covered with a layer of translucent crystal.

This layer of armor was as rugged and solid as mountains, as if it harbored a terrifying power that would never be destroyed, and a faint glow shone in this translucent armor, showing an eternity that was even longer than the stars.

Pivot's attack, which seemed to be able to destroy stars just now, did not even blast a small pit in this armor when it hit it.

Death, entropy, and destruction are just the most insignificant breeze to this armor, to this solidified ‘Crystalline’.

"This is unchanging matter..."

Su Zhou raised his hand. He looked thoughtfully at his hands covered with Crystalline, and the long knife in his hand: "This is the path of the Seres, the never-ending planet body?"

"Sure enough, there are thousands upon thousands of strong men in this universe. Every race and every civilization has a foundation that I can learn from and allow me to continue to move forward and innovate."

He whispered softly, and then showed a smile.

"The Seres are so strong. They are completely different from Earth civilization, focusing on biotechnology, the improvement of the body itself, and the ultimate in body refining..."

He raised his head, looked at the extremely vigilant Pivot in the distance, and showed a eager expression.

"Then, Entropy Shadow."

"What about you?"

[100%?! This resonance rate is too high!]

At this moment, in the soul communication, the Immortal Imprints of the other Seres Venerables were also surprised: [What's going on? This Earth Venerable is clearly not a Seres, why is the resonance rate with us so high?!]

[Immortal Imprint resides in the body, even the descendants of the inheritors cultivated by one hand cannot reach more than 98%!]

Just as Pivot said, the many Immortal Imprints that Su Zhou awakened from the Galaxy Star are not the real power of the Seres Venerables.

They are already dead, and their bodies have been integrated into the living planet and no longer exist. If they want to restore their full strength, they must either wait for the opportunity to return like those dead gods and immortals on Earth, or gradually wake up like the sleeping strong men in other universe civilizations, and spend a long time retrieving their power and condensing their bodies.

However, by attaching the Immortal Imprint to a suitable Seres, the power of these Venerables can also exert six or seven out of ten.

[My resonance rate with Amolotte is only 85%, and I can only exert the power of the low-level Ω - but it is enough to get through the difficulties]

A blazing white flame, representing the star's core fire layer, the Ω-level Venerable, ‘Starflame Thanix’, muttered to himself. He is the predecessor of the current Seres Grand Elder Amolotte. If a battle is needed, he and Amolotte will naturally join forces to protect civilization.

However, just now, He sensed a resonance rate from Su Zhou that far exceeded Amolotte!

What does this mean? It means that if He descends and imprints on Su Zhou, he can even exert a power stronger than his own back then!

After all, Su Zhou himself is also a powerful Venerable. One plus one is definitely greater than one.

As for why this is the case...

--That's of course because Su Zhou loaded the virtual machine.

Anything can be Zhu Zhao, and Zhu Zhao can naturally be anything.

After all, you see, Zhu Zhao is the World Tree, the world is the planet, the Seres are the children of the planet, and they can also be the planet, so Zhu Zhao is the Seres!

In short, anything that merges with Zhu Zhao will become a bigger and stronger Zhu Zhao. This is common sense in the universe!

"I'm going, Entropy Shadow."

At this moment, holding up the Blade of Annihilation, which had been coated with a layer of crystal shell and unchanging matter, Su Zhou showed a smile and strode towards the direction where Pivot was located.

And behind him, the other Seres Venerable groups, who also showed a ‘smile’, also collectively moved forward, following his footsteps.

The ‘righteous’ army is marching.

Staring at Pivot, who was trembling all over and seemed unable to imagine that this scene would actually happen in reality, the young man earnestly prompted: "Be careful, don't be defeated too early."

"I still want to try the power of the other nineteen Seres Venerables one by one!"

He slowly approached, and the Entropy Shadow retreated in a hurry.

A strange two-person turn was staged in the yellowish-brown Twilight Starfield.

Until there was a universe rift behind him and Pivot had nowhere to retreat, a voice containing endless anger, confusion, and despair at the unbelievable reality resounded throughout the universe.

[--Subpoint, Balance Point, come and save me!]

[Ahhhhh!!! Null Sect, Null Sect!!!]

[I will kill you!]

7000 words, no more, no less, please give me a monthly ticket!

I originally planned to write more than 10,000, but I found that I was a little tired. I will try to cheer up tomorrow!
