"He won't leave!"
At that moment, the Tian Wen Supreme Powerhouse declared, "Our Supreme Research Institute has conducted a comprehensive analysis of his psychological state. He has his own needs and goals, and he won't easily abandon this final battle with us until he achieves them."
Upon hearing this, the Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse and the boundless supreme expert turned their gazes toward him.
"Moreover... he doesn't dare to leave!" Tian Wen continued. "If he doesn't intercept us, we'll inevitably descend upon the Profound Yellow Great World to find him. Using Karma Power, we'll track down every being connected to him, gather them together, and manipulate their karmic threads to pinpoint the location of his true body!"
The Supreme Powerhouse spoke with unwavering conviction: "Unless he severs all karmic ties or flees the Human Territory, never to return, I will inevitably find him the moment my true body arrives!"
Heng Guang and the boundless supreme expert listened intently to Tian Wen's words.
These words...
Seemed less intended for the two Supreme Powerhouses and more for Li Chunjun himself.
A threat, and a warning.
They threatened Li Chunjun by targeting all living beings karmically connected to him.
Simultaneously...
They warned him that unless he voluntarily left the Human Territory and never returned, the conflict between the Human Race and him would never end.
In a sense, Tian Wen, the Human Race's supreme powerhouse, had already made a concession.
Despite knowing Li Chunjun carried the hope of achieving the great unification realm, and even the supreme cosmic realm, they were willing to let him leave the Human Territory, allowing both sides to coexist peacefully.
This was the Human Race's compromise with Li Chunjun.
Heng Guang and Boundless, two other supreme powerhouses representing the Human Race's decision-making authority, did not object.
However...
Whether this offer to let Li Chunjun leave the Human Territory and maintain mutual non-aggression was genuine or merely a temporary tactic to buy time remained a matter of interpretation.
After Tian Wen transmitted this message through his Divine Sense, the starry sky remained silent for a long time.
Apart from the Grand Dao Power unleashed by the Supreme Sovereigns, which seemed to scour the region repeatedly, there was no other activity.
Immediately, the supreme powerhouse produced a token: "Order Tian Heng to lead forces to the Profound Yellow Great World and the Great World of the Gods. Completely seal off both Great Worlds."
He turned to Heng Guang. "Issue an order from the Starry Sky Group to seal all Star Gates in both Great Worlds. Allow any living being to enter, but none to leave."
The Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse nodded slightly.
He saw nothing immoral or dishonorable in this approach.
For beings of their caliber, morality was merely a shackle to restrain the lower tiers, long since discarded into the distant clouds.
Once they set a goal, they would relentlessly pursue it with every ounce of their power. In this pursuit, any action was permissible as long as the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
After Tian Wen and Heng Guang, the two Ultimate Powerhouses, issued their orders, they turned their attention back to the battlefield.
They knew full well that such attacks were futile.
In fact, they might even help Li Chunjun further refine his understanding and comprehension of the Dao through their demonstrations, making him even stronger.
Yet they had no other choice.
This was the only way to ensure Li Chunjun remained present, merely concealed rather than having truly departed.
Otherwise, if Li Chunjun were to truly commit to hiding for millennia or even tens of thousands of years, cultivating until he reached the great unification realm before reappearing in the world, the mere thought sent shivers down their spines.
While they might be able to use Karma Power to deduce Li Chunjun's location, what if he fled far enough?
As long as he remained beyond their reach, even if they locked onto his location using karmic threads, they would be powerless to stop him.
Moreover...
Whether Karma Power could even pinpoint Li Chunjun's location remained uncertain.
Faced with the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the void great dao, even Tian Wen, the supreme powerhouse second only to the progenitor divine being of the Causal Dao, dared not guarantee success.
After a long moment, Li Chunjun's figure reappeared.
But Green Willow Supreme Sovereign did not emerge with him.
The boundless supreme expert's expression darkened slightly.
Given the precedents of Supreme Powerhouse Gui Ling's reincarnated body and the two equally powerful figures, Primordial Origin and Hong Yuan, it was clear what fate had befallen the Supreme Sovereign.
It was ironic that this mighty Supreme Sovereign, who had fought alongside him in countless battles, had not fallen in war against the Foreign Race, but at the hands of Li Chunjun, a progenitor divine being who had only emerged into the world less than a century ago.
"Li Chunjun!"
The boundless supreme expert uttered the name.
"Come."
Li Chunjun stepped forward, gesturing with a void hand.
Void Power swirled around him, harmonizing with various Grand Dao Powers. Like fire melting snow, it neutralized every attack directed at him.
The boundless supreme expert merely glanced at him, yet felt an almost suffocating pressure wash over him.
Because...
It had become ineffective.
The attacks launched by the Supreme Sovereigns and Dao Venerables against Li Chunjun had almost completely lost their potency.
In other words, Li Chunjun, who had only recently become immune to attacks from Dao Venerables, could now treat the combined assaults of the Supreme Sovereigns as if they were nothing.
This terrifying learning ability, adaptability, and growth potential...
It utterly shattered the understanding of these Ultimate Powerhouses.
How arduous was the path of cultivation?
Body-soul unification, regarded by countless beings as the ultimate, unattainable goal.
Even for those who had achieved body-soul unification, advancing further upon their existing Dao Foundation required tens of thousands of years of relentless effort.
Yet Li Chunjun?
He progressed ceaselessly!
The power that would take them hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of years to cultivate, he mastered with the ease of eating or drinking.
This staggering disparity struck the Heart-Minds of all the Dao Venerables and Supreme Sovereigns like a thunderbolt.
Had these figures not possessed Heart's Perfection, their minds flawless and unbreakable, some might have already suffered mental collapse and fallen from their realms.
"How... how can such a monster exist in this world? This defies all reason!"
"I feel... his very existence seems designed to target us specifically! Especially during these recent clashes, all our combined power seems to serve only as fuel for his growth, making him stronger so he can ultimately end the reign of us Dao Venerables and immortals over this vast starry sky!"
"Enough. Don't let this affect your mental state. No matter what, we won't give up until the very end!"
At this moment, none of the three Ultimate Powerhouses could maintain their composure.
Even Boundless Supreme Powerhouse, who had been joking with Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse upon their arrival, was now shaken.
"Though continuing to engage him will only make him stronger, we have no choice. Let's drag this out."
Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse glanced at Boundless Supreme Powerhouse. "We have no choice."
"No choice..." Boundless Supreme Powerhouse's expression turned bitter.
Seeing Li Chunjun, who hadn't even launched an attack, actively manipulating Void Power to crush him, Boundless Supreme Powerhouse knew his resistance was futile. Yet he still channeled the profound mysteries of the great dao of the void to defend against Li Chunjun's assault.
This battle...
How infuriating!
It was the most infuriating battle he had ever experienced!
Unbeknownst to the boundless supreme expert, Li Chunjun had an even faster way to end the battle: directly pull the supreme expert into the void, creating a separate battlefield to exhaust his Void Power.
Before anyone could grasp the true essence of the void great dao, this tactic would be virtually unstoppable.
However, the current situation didn't require Li Chunjun to resort to such measures.
"The purpose of this battle is to make these supreme experts and Supreme Sovereigns truly realize the speed of my growth, yet I can't display overwhelming, unsolvable power. Only by showing them a glimmer of hope amidst my strength can I pressure them to reveal their full capabilities and unleash their hidden potential!"
Li Chunjun understood exactly what he was doing.
It wasn't that he couldn't end the war now; ending it prematurely would fail to achieve his objectives.
"Among the Human Race, we control twenty-three sources of the great dao. The remaining twenty-six great daos—such as reincarnation, karma, and time—are not yet in our grasp."
His thoughts flowed: "Yet the Human Race also boasts many individuals with profound mastery of these great daos. Moreover, the sheer number of Dao Venerables and Supreme Sovereigns among them who cultivate these daos means their collective understanding rivals that of the progenitor divine beings. Facing them is essentially facing the full spectrum of the forty-nine great daos."
In other words, when all the cultivators gathered, it would be equivalent to assembling all forty-nine great daos.
At that moment, the myriad mysteries of all the great daos would unfold before him.
Only then could he truly abandon hope and determine whether, aside from "falling into the void" to trigger the cosmos's rebirth, there remained any other method to resurrect those whose souls had been refined.
As he pondered, Li Chunjun channeled more Grand Dao Power into the Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse and the Boundless Supreme Expert, compelling them to unleash even greater power to "stall" him and prevent his withdrawal.
Of course, while battling the two Ultimate Powerhouses and the Supreme Sovereigns, and simultaneously comprehending the profound mysteries of the great daos they wielded, he also devoted ample focus to thoroughly comprehending the wonders of the great dao of life.
For him at this stage, such a feat posed no particular challenge.
The battle raged on.
Li Chunjun's mastery of the great dao of the void, and his application of other great daos, grew increasingly effortless.
Even the boundless supreme expert, let alone the great dao of the void, could no longer gain any advantage over Li Chunjun using the Dream Great Dao.
At that moment, the three supreme powerhouses—Tian Wen, Heng Guang, and Wujin—had never imagined time could flow so slowly.
Three hours, a duration they would normally dismiss as insignificant, stretched into an eternity.
Fortunately...
Just as Li Chunjun had completely deciphered the great daos of Heng Guang and Wujin, and Dao Venerables and Supreme Sovereigns fell one after another before their eyes, the three hours finally elapsed.
"They're here!"
Tian Wen's suffocated cry of joy shattered the oppressive silence. At the edge of the starry sky, the Void was violently torn apart by an overwhelmingly powerful force.
Led by the five supreme powerhouses—Pan Wu, Lawful Decree, Shouxu, Return to Zero, and Tian Wen—dozens of elite warriors descended, bathed in the Grand Dao Divine Radiance.
The final battle had begun.
