554 Bloodline Transcendence (1/2)

Before this eldritch scene, to say nothing of the others, even Regretless' eyes widened in disbelief. No matter what kind of devouring power Celestial Slaughter possessed, a Perfect Bloodline could never devour Supreme Power. But not content of devouring it, he refined it.

And as Regretless' eyes contorted into a frown, Konrad's eyes went between the two High Supremes, spotting an oddity in the signature of their bloodlines. Even if Regretless' Omniarch Blood took its foundation in the three Commanding Lineages, for a Perfect Bloodline, it was far too strong.

Likewise, Celestial Slaughter's new bloodline showed abilities that exceeded the limits of Perfect Blood.

”You forced a Bloodline Transcendence.”

Regretless realized as he lowered his bow. The words caused a wave of confusion in the bystanders. After all, there was no such thing as ”Bloodline Transcendence.” However, Celestial Slaughter nodded in approval.

”Indeed. Although at our return we would possess All-Transcendence and Nothingness Supremacy, to tame the world, an unparalleled bloodline was undoubtedly necessary. Our Void Dragon Blood combines All-Transcendence, Nothingness and the Empyrean Dragon lineage. Alone it is already an incomparable bloodline. But to bring it to the next level, we used All-Transcendence to forcefully shatter the limits, thereby creating a Bloodline Transcendence.”

Celestial Slaughter explained, making Regretless' frown grow deeper. In the past, knowing that his bloodline could not reach Firmament level, Regretless opted for a new road and used all his means to force a fifth Transcendence: Bloodline Transcendence. Never did he expect that Celestial Slaughter would achieve the same.

Although their bloodlines weren't Firmament level, the gap was marginal. Celestial Slaughter snapped his fingers, causing the Nirvana Dust Crown to drop on his head.

”Some people think themselves unique. They think that only they are capable of achieving peculiar feats. I do not. I existed before time and have seen the world unfold. I know that so long as the right conditions gather, all can achieve the same.

Also, the main difference between you and I, is not the wisdom, preparations and intellect that completely leave you eclipsed. No, I raised you. You are my monkey, tailored to my needs from infancy to maturity. And no matter how the monkey struggles, he can't escape Buddha's palm.”

Celestial Slaughter quipped, using Regretless' past words against him. At the same time, his army of 100,000 Primordials and hundreds of Supremes made a formation around him.

”Is that so? I stand by my belief that supreme power renders all plotting meaningless.”

Regretless scoffed and stepped forward, vanishing to reappear within the sea of deities. His Heavenly Demon Tablet again morphed, this time becoming a beating cane while hundreds of Primordial Gods gathered to assail him. By the time they launched their offensive, Celestial Slaughter had fallen to the rear.

”Innate Skill: Absolute Defense.”

Regretless whispered, causing a formless energy screen to appear around him. Thousands of moves from the legions of Primordial Gods and hundreds of Supremes barrelled him from all sides, merging and overlapping in intricate formations. But regardless of how dreadful their blows became, as long as they clashed with Regretless' Absolute Defense, they collapsed in light particles!

”Innate Skill: Absolute Strength.

Innate Skill: Absolute Speed.”

Again, Regretless whispered, and to the legions of Primordials and Supremes, became a gust of wind, an untraceable blur that beat them all to death with its cane! With every strike, a deity or Supreme would burst into blood fog, obliterated from existence!

Or so it should have been. Instead they turned into light rays, rushing back into the Nirvana Dust Crown, and emerging as pristine as before! Instantly, Regretless realized that if he didn't destroy that crown, the fight would never see an end.

But if a Nothingness Artifact was that easily destroyed, Celestial Slaughter wouldn't be here to begin with. And as if reading through Regretless' thoughts, the crown dived into Celestial Slaughter's head, vanishing within and becoming one with him!

”Innate Skill: True Void!”

Celestial Slaughter exclaimed, releasing a debilitating force that contended with Regretless' absolute attributes. Although he couldn't entirely suppress them, Regretless instantly found himself unable to showcase his full strength.

At that time, Regretless threw his cane, but as it returned to the initial tablet form, it released a red protective sphere that forced all foes backward, while resisting Celestial Slaughter's True Void.

”Innate Skill: Tribulation Manipulation!”

Regretless aimed his right hand toward the sky, causing the Chthonian Realm's black lightning to tumble in millions of dark thunderbolts! By the time the grumble of the chthonian lightning tore their minds, the legions of deities and Supremes found themselves burning from the lightning strikes!

”Innate Skill: Essence Ma…”

Regretless began while raising his hand, but before he could finish his move…

*BANG*

...a punch bashed his skull in, sending him tumbling toward the ground! Regretless didn't have the time to wonder why his tablet's screen lost effect, that a kick met his dropping form, striking him right in the face!
