Chapter 1197: EX Purities Slash
The Supreme Beast never expected that Alex could decipher his Chaos Breath in an instant. However, seeing the extent of the damage, he didn't believe that Alex could take on his powerful concentrated Chaos Bomb, so he quickly made it his trump card.
Alex then tried it once again, slashing his sword downwards, releasing a Sword Wave.
"One Sword Kill, Blade of Extinction."
The Supreme Beast snorted at him and tried to grab the Sword Wave with his hands, trying to rip it apart to show that no matter what trick he had, he wouldn't be able to fight against his Chaos Energy.
Unfortunately for him, he couldn't be more wrong in this.
"This is my power!" The Supreme Beast shouted and grabbed the Sword Wave. However, it became his doom because the moment he touched the Sword Wave, an array that Alex had prepared appeared. It was none other than his Altered Reality Array.
By also using his Law, Alex gathered all the Immortal Energy and Fire Element to the very limit.
"If I can remove the information about Immortal Energy, I can add it as well, replicating it to a certain extent. And I'm pretty lucky that everything is set up beautifully." Alex smirked.
"!!!" The Supreme Beast realized he had fallen into his trap. He looked at the Sword Wave that suddenly shone brightly and...
Boom.
The Supreme Beast needed to cover his entire body with Chaos Energy, but he was still too late because several parts of his body had turned black due to the scorching fire.
The Supreme Beast blew all the smoke away and attacked the Spirit God to prevent any more ranged attack.
Alex wasn't afraid of him and clashed with him for another few minutes, destroying everything in their way. It was a fierce fight that no one could replicate even if there were ten God Kings in this place.
He kept the Supreme Beast occupied while searching for an opportunity. When that chance appeared, Alex summoned a Sun God Fire Disturbance before using his Altered Reality Array, Subjective Reality, and Space Compression at the same time. The combined power quickly trapped the Disturbance inside a sphere, where it got compressed to a head-size sphere.
The sphere suddenly released the flame energy and formed a lotus. This was none other than his Divine Petals, but Alex didn't want to stop it there. He didn't set those petals free. Instead, he kept them inside the lotus and launched the lotus toward the Supreme Beast.
This lotus became even more dangerous because it was the same as a suicide bomber, holding all the bombs he had around his stomach and coming to one person instead of grabbing each bomb and throwing it to his targets.
The Supreme Beast simply couldn't believe that someone managed to compress a Disturbance as he had never seen it before.
"Chaos Body Armor!" The Supreme Beast gritted his teeth and covered his body with Chaos Energy to protect his life. His wings obviously covered the front to take the full brunt.
Alex cared no more and struck the Supreme Beast with this power.
"Divine Petals (Compressed Version)."
Boom.
"Guah!"
A huge explosion like none other brightened the universe as if a supernova occurred. But what made it please the ears was the fact that this explosion was followed by the Supreme Beast's scream.
Even though it was hard to hear his voice because of the explosion, Alex was pretty happy with it because he thought the Supreme Beast would be heavily injured by this attack. Of course, he was exhausted as well because it took a lot of mental energy.
When the explosion dimmed down a bit, the Supreme Beast waved his hand and blew away all the smoke, leaving only him standing in the middle of the explosion. His body was scorched black while his wings had disappeared due to the explosion.
"You Bastard! It's impossible to kill me with such an attack!" The Supreme Beast roared and gathered the energy in his mouth. "Chaos Breath."
Alex let go of his spear because he felt that his head was in pain. It truly took a whole level of mental power. Even so, he still used it once more to create another opportunity, wanting to end it before he fell unconscious.
"Altered Reality."
The Array turned the Chaos Breath back to multiple colored breaths before Alex finally found a path to victory.
He then remembered one scene in his mind... The scene where the Spirit God talked to him one last time after reaching the True Immortal Stage flashed in his mind.
At that time, the Spirit God came to him with a smile. "You're good right now and have officially surpassed me in terms of cultivation. Congratulations."
"You have set up everything for me... I don't dare to take the full achievement." Alex shook his head.
"Haha, you should." The Spirit God chuckled before changing the topic with a question. "Anyway, do you think you're able to kill... No, I should ask a different question...
The Spirit God looked down, falling into deep thought. Even Alex became curious about his thought, but since he said about killing, he must want to mention whether he could kill the beast or not.
When he was about to answer his question, the Spirit God cut in and asked, "Do you think your most powerful attack has reached the peak power?"
"What do you mean?" Alex narrowed his eyes, recalling his Nine Purities Slash. At that time, he thought he should be able to kill that beast with the Nine Purities Slash based on what had happened in their previous fight.
Then, a memory where the Spirit God died due to the beast improving himself in the middle of the fight flashed in his mind. If the beast indeed evolved with the power he had in their previous fight, Alex had no problem killing the beast.
But the outcome changed drastically when he entered another variable. If the Supreme Beast actually evolved once again, he would lose and leave everyone behind this time because he didn't set up any inheritance and such.
He started pondering Spirit God's question seriously before arriving at the same conclusion as his prediction. The answer was no.
Seeing the look on Alex's face, the Spirit God smiled and said, "There is something you can do to improve it even further."
"Hmm?!" Alex narrowed his eyes and asked, "How? I mean, I have put all kinds of energy into this attack. It's not like any outside will improve the power output any further."
"Your Purities Slash is indeed stronger than any of my attacks. However, there is something you haven't put there."
Alex narrowed his eyes as he couldn't see what kind of thing he hadn't put in there.
The Spirit God only gave him one hint. "You must have seen how I died, right?"
Alex nodded and started recalling that scene. The Spirit God actually died after using the Space and Time Seal to trap the beast, but the Spirit God itself should have done it from the start. After all, they could trap the beast and become even stronger when the beast made its second appearance.
Yet, there was one thing that the Spirit God sacrificed in order to power up the seal to be strong enough to hold the beast, which became the sole reason why they didn't use the seal as quickly as possible.
What the Spirit God sacrificed was none other than his life. Alex's face became twisted as he wondered if the Spirit God wanted him to sacrifice his life again, contradicting all the talks they had earlier.
It was at this time, he remembered the Spirit God had set everything to fight the beast. And there was one key that had yet to be utilized. This key was none other than Alaya.
It was true that Alaya gave him the power of Life and Death, but it came from Alaya herself, not the Spirit God's intention. That was why there must be a reason why Alaya actually stayed alive until now.
In a few seconds, Alex dropped his jaw and stared at the Spirit God. "Don't tell me..."
The Spirit God only patted his shoulders a few times with a smile as he closed his eyes. He said, "There are two reasons why I dare to give this option to you. First, becoming a True Immortal means you will live longer than any other normal God Kings, or you can say False Immortals.
"Second, this is maybe the only trump card that is strong enough to kill the beast. Of course, I hope such a thing is not needed, but I am not sure myself. The one who can answer that question is you and I won't say anything about your decision. I will leave everything on your shoulders... Alexander Sirius, I believe in you and me."
Alex gritted his teeth and returned with a serious expression.
When he remembered this discussion in his head, Alex looked at the Supreme Beast, who was completely stopped by his Altered Reality Array. This was the only chance. The Supreme Beast had almost exhausted all his strength and lowered his guard for once due to desperation.
'There is one thing I've forgotten from Alaya's power. It's the Life and Death Coffin. The Coffin will always present one's lifespan, meaning that the Life and Death must have carried that power where it was calculated by the Life and Death Coffin to project the exact number.
'And it also means I can use my Life and Death Energy to transfer my own lifespan to my own technique.' Alex's eyes glowed as the Life and Death Jewels in his Spirit Crown glowed. Just like how the Spirit God hinted, Alex sent his lifespan into his own sword, gambling everything in this one strike.
The Supreme Beast got the feeling of the strength behind that energy as he remembered what happened to him last time. "You... Don't tell me you want to..."
Alex already made his way toward the Supreme Beast carrying all the ten forms of energy: Elements, Immortal Energy, Absolute Blade Intents, Pure Blade Qi, Soul, Life and Death Energy, Nature Energy from the Spirit Crown, his Sun God Fire Disturbance, Law, and more importantly, half of his lifespan.
He sacrificed half of his life to summon powerful energy that defied Heaven as the Universe calculated the power he had in that half lifespan and reinforced that attack.
"This is the end, Beast." Alex snorted and slashed his sword with all his might.
The Supreme Beast also had gathered the remaining energy and turned them into a concentrated energy bomb. He shot the Energy Bomb toward him so he could have time to escape.
"Chaos Bomb."
However, Alex didn't buy it and struck the Energy Bomb with his power, pushing it back until he reached the Supreme Beast.
Before he could escape, Alex released the remaining energy and completed his swing.
"EX Purities Slash."
