Chapter 2781: Has Ye Wantong Advanced?
The strongest of both sides clashed together. It must be said that the strength of the strongest from the Human Clan was indeed significantly more powerful than that of the Guardian Gods.
Among the Guardian Gods, aside from the four peak strongest beings—First God, Eternal Main God, Light Main God, and Dark Main God—the other strongest beings were generally average in power.
Even if the Taoist Venerable and others fought one against three, they faced no difficulty and instead pushed those Guardian God strongest beings to retreat steadily.
"First God, what are you planning? You clearly admitted defeat and now you don’t want to honor it, coming here to seize the Chaos Flower?" Taoist Venerable stood below, watching as The Three Pure Ones battled the three strongest beings, then scoffed, "You admitted defeat earlier, saying the matter was over, which actually marks the end of your own oath? With the oath concluded, you don’t fear its influence when coming to seize the Chaos Flower again? First God, you truly play a good hand, your actions are impeccable!"
First God gritted his teeth in silence, his expression grim as water. Everything was just as Taoist Venerable had noted; the reason he first admitted defeat before engaging was precisely due to this.
If they did not admit defeat, then the matter was not considered over. Prior, they swore an oath that, until the matter concluded, they could not interfere. Breaking the oath would result in punishment, being obliterated by Heavenly Dao.
Thus, by admitting defeat first and then coming to seize the Chaos Flower, they could avoid punishment due to the oath.
Although First God had previously dismissed Ye Wantong verbally, he was well aware in his heart. Ye Wantong swallowing the Chaos Flower had a high chance of advancing to become a strongest being. And this was certainly not what the Guardian Gods wished to see.
Hence, before Ye Wantong fully absorbed the Chaos Flower, they were determined to reclaim it at all costs. Even if they couldn’t ensure their own kin consumed it, destroying the Chaos Flower was preferable to allowing the Human Clan to cultivate another strongest being.
As this matter involved the fate of both sides, First God disregarded his reputation. He waged war against the Human Clan at any cost, determined that the Human Clan would not take the Chaos Flower.
As the battle grew increasingly fierce, both Light Main God and Dark Main God, along with Eternal Main God, joined the fray individually.
Once these strong beings joined the battle, the situation rapidly reversed. The Human Clan, originally dominant, immediately lost their advantage as these three strong beings entered combat, even seemingly falling into a disadvantageous position.
Heaven Slayer furrowed his brow; this was about to erupt into a battle among the strongest.
"Su Alliance Leader, you must go first; leave this to us!" Heaven Slayer spoke and a silhouette emerged behind him, swiftly enveloping Su Yang and his people, flying rapidly to the distant sky.
"There’s no escape!" First God shouted and quickly pursued, intending to block the silhouette.
At this moment, Heaven Slayer took action too. He rushed forward, blocking First God so he couldn’t stop Su Yang and the others.
First God was infuriated but couldn’t break through Heaven Slayer’s obstruction, so he could only continue battling Heaven Slayer.
Now Heaven Slayer no longer wasted words. Brandishing the Heaven-Slaying Blade, he shattered the surrounding void, forcing out the remaining Guardian God strongest beings, aggressively drawing them into the fray.
These strongest beings, arranged by First God, were originally intended to intercept Su Yang and the others.
Heaven Slayer naturally understood First God’s intentions, so he forcibly pulled these individuals into the fighting, preventing them from pursuing Su Yang and the others.
With this, the largest battle among the strongest erupted completely, gathering all strongest beings from both sides. Such an event was unprecedented, never occurring even in the Primordial times!
The strongest beings had accumulated countless years of hatred, coupled with the issue of the Chaos Flower. They fought desperately, causing chaos in heaven and earth.
From the Great World through Chaos, then back to Great World again; the Three Thousand Great Worlds nearly all turned into their battlefield, countless powerful planets destroyed by them.
This battle continued for over three hundred years, with both sides’ strongest beings sustaining injuries, yet none with the intent to halt.
Until one day, a sudden beam of light shot into the sky from the Nine Realms, alarming the battling strongest beings.
"This... this is the aura of the Chaos Flower..." Taoist Venerable looked at the Nine Realms in delight, "Has Ye Wantong advanced to the strongest being?"
The other strongest beings from the Human Clan were equally ecstatic, whereas the strongest beings across Guardian Gods bore expressions of extreme dismay.
Fighting for so long, they battled to seize the Chaos Flower, preventing Ye Wantong’s advancement to a strongest being. Now that Ye Wantong had advanced, all this fighting seemed in vain.
"Let’s go check it out!" First God shouted, leading the charge towards the Nine Realms.
Heaven Slayer and others did not delay, swiftly hurrying to the Nine Realms as well.
Upon reaching the Nine Realms, from afar they saw Ye Wantong standing amidst the stars outside the Nine Realms, her powerful aura radiating around her.
"She actually absorbed the Chaos Flower!" Eternal Main God exclaimed, "Could she have really advanced to the strongest being?"
"It seems so, her aura is formidable, only the strongest beings possess such an aura!"
"But her power doesn’t seem that mighty!"
"Upon first advancing to the strongest, it’s always like this. But it can’t be denied, she already is the strongest being!"
"Another strongest being has emerged from the Human Clan, what do we do now?"
Strongest beings from the Guardian Gods fretted in discussion, every face showing dismay. For them, the emergence of another strongest from the Human Clan spelled calamity.
The few strongest beings on the Human Clan side were overjoyed. At this moment, an additional strongest being brought much hope to their clan.
"Congratulations, you’ve finally advanced to the strongest being!" Demon Lord called out, his relationship with Su Yang and Ye Wantong drawing closer due to his Fatty Lü persona.
Ye Wantong smiled gently, her gaze fixed on First God, "First God, are you planning to determine victory now, or wait for your master, that last Heavenly Venerable, to return?"
First God’s face was serious, staring at Ye Wantong for a while before speaking deeply, "Ye Wantong, there’s no need for such talk. I know you haven’t fully advanced to the strongest, remaining in a very delicate state, needing more time to truly advance, you have yet no battle power of a strongest being!"
"First God, worthy of his title, indeed recognized my situation at a glance!" Ye Wantong sneered, "But then what? Though I don’t possess the battle power of a strongest being, if I wield the Heaven-Slaying Blade, I could still severely wound a strongest!"
