572 The End of the Omniarch (1/2)

The words didn't ring well in the Evil Body's ears. Throughout the Omniverse, Konrad aside, who dared disparage him so? It was high time he put down that hateful creature and reaffirm the sovereignty of his might!

”Dragon Warden, you have run amok for far too long. So long that you no longer understand that some people...you cannot offend! This Sovereign could kill you in the past, in the present, you still can't escape!”

The Evil Body bellowed, and alongside the Neutral Body, released the full might of their False Almighty strength! Before that might, even the Firmament trembled, shaken by an unprecedented eruption of force! But shielded by Konrad's presence, his forces didn't feel a thing.

Arms crossed behind his back, Konrad stepped forward. His peak-stage Devil Monarch cultivation base erupted, releasing its Quasi-Almighty strength. His 90 broken locks followed, releasing Firmament energies akin to the ones swirling in the Firmament Fruits! Of course, the scope was incomparably grander!

Faced with the might of those 90 locks and Konrad's cultivation, Evil and Neutral Bodies recoiled from one step, dwarfed by a strength threatening their hegemony. Konrad took a second step, and his Firmament Bloodline strength exploded, joining the two other sources of his unholy might in a resplendent trinity.

With the third step, his High Supreme Will kicked into gear, further magnifying the result. As Konrad's icy gaze nailed them, the two bodies felt as if the most dreadful of primordial beasts, the embodiment of all nightmares, stood before them, announcing their impending destruction!

Three steps and their momentum collapsed!

*BANG*

One moment, the two bodies' eyes still nailed Konrad, the next, ear-splitting cracking sounds resounded from their chests. By the time they registered the sounds, registered the pain, their bones burst, their chests caved it, and two symmetrical elbows sent them hurtling in the sky, before tumbling toward the ground!

Yet, Konrad still stood in his original position, arms crossed behind his back!

”False Almighty is just a made-up title. Because of it, you think you can keep your back straight before This Emperor? Conceited.”

As Konrad's calm words echoed, the two's eardrums burst with blood erupting from their ears. By the time they tumbled onto the ground, their eyes widened in disbelief!

Konrad raised his right hand, causing a Tribulation Envoy to vanish from the nets and land before him. Without a second thought, he devoured the prey, adding its blood origins to his Myriad World Immortal lineage. In that instant, his bloodline finally obtained the one missing part, thereby fulfilling its true potential.

Again, Konrad's strength rose.

”Come, I give you three moves. If you can put some dust on my imperial robe, I can consider making you my new imperial eunuch.”

”Innate Skill: Absolute Strength!

Innate Skill: Absolute Speed!

Innate Skill: Absolute Defense!”

The two bodies released their Absolute attributes, and shot toward Konrad! The Evil Body's right hand curved into a knife, chopping at Konrad's neck while the Neutral Body's hand became a claw aimed right at his Chthonian Devil Heart!

*BAM*

The chopping blow and claw strike that could have instantly sent a Quasi-Almighty into defeat stopped right against Konrad's flesh. It was as if an otherworldly force siphoned all the strength within the blows, leaving them no better than the average human toddler's all-out strike!

*BOOM*

From Konrad's body, the energy robbed from the two bodies' blows erupted, reversed with 10,000 times the might!

Shredded by the formless energy surge, Evil and Neutral Body flew backward, torn by unspeakable gashes! Their blood overflowed, rising into the firmament's sky, before tumbling in blood rain.

”Impossible...impossible...impossible!”

The Evil Body broke into maniacal screams! To him, power was his everything, how could he endure the sight of one he despised so effortlessly crushing him?! No, he couldn't, he wouldn'!

In that blood-frenzy, the Evil Body did something Regretless in his right mind would have never dared. As his formed hurtled down, he aimed his right hand at the Firmament's Sky and snarled:

”Tribulation Lightning!”

Tapping in their Omniarch Blood's strongest ability, the Evil Body released the most dreadful of tribulations imaginable, the Firmament's tribulation lightning! Jade haze gathered in the sky, with crackling lightning and grumbling thunderbolts!

Nine thunderbolts descended, striking Konrad with their full-force!

*BOOOM*

A deafening blast shook the world as the tribulation lightning struck its target, releasing a backlash that forced the two bodies and Regretless by Celestial Slaughter's side to spit large mouthfuls of blood! Their heartbeat quickened as they felt their very existence destabilized by this move!

But as Evil and Neutral Body floundered in the sky, with the evil one bursting into frenzied laughter, the clouds of smoke raised by their blow dispersed, revealing the unharmed form of Konrad, still standing in the sky with his hands crossed behind his back.

”Congratulations, you managed to put some dust on my imperial garb. However…”

Konrad began, as the Firmament's tribulation lightning brewed from his form, before erupting in nine bolts aimed at the Evil Body!

”...I'm not sure you will live to enjoy your rewards.”

Another ringing blast and the nine jade thunderbolts struck the Evil Body with 10,000 times the might! The so-called Absolute Defense collapsed, and the Evil Body turned into a charred mess as he dropped onto the ground.

This time, he didn't find the strength to rise again!

Before this scene, the Neutral Body held his breath. Even Firmament Lightning couldn't dent his form! In this world, besides Omnipotence, what could harm him?

…

Meanwhile, Celestial Slaughter and the wounded Regretless observed the scene with rapt attention.

”What an unfortunate turn of event. I suppose it is time to end this little game. Regretless let's finalize the contract.”

Celestial Slaughter began and flew into the sky, towering above Regretless with his eternal, false smile. With a wave of his hand, two figures appeared before Regretless, one male, one female. And if Konrad stood beside them, he could have recognized them without effort:

Highest Dragon and Divine Enchantress. Regretless' most beloved uncle and mother.

”You know the terms. In exchange for letting me refine your three bodies, I will send the two of them into reincarnation, binding their samsaras so that they may be husband and wife throughout eternity. At the same time, their Fate Standards will be altered so that they never again set foot on the cultivation road.
