With a sweep of the Evil King’s Universe Diagram, the small mountain Lin Luo hurled was utterly pulverized. Amidst the scattering debris, Lin Luo abandoned external force, charging the Evil King directly with his colossal size.

Though his body was now monstrously huge, his speed was utterly unimpeded. The massive form vanished from the spot in an instant, soaring to the apex of the sky in a breath, descending like Mount Tai crushing down, his dual feet unleashing boundless might upon the position where the Evil King stood... A strike worthy of a giant!

Such an immense body paired with such terrifying speed shocked even the Evil King. Instinctively, he flung out a Sea of Universes, while simultaneously, the Anti-Spiral Force rocketed upwards, its razor-sharp aura threatening to tear the heavens apart.

If this had been before, the Sea of Universes might have inspired dread, but for the current Lin Luo, it was utterly insignificant. Without suspense, a single stomp crushed it. However, dealing with the Anti-Spiral Force was not so easy; under the impact of that power, his gigantic frame was violently flung skyward.

The Evil King seized this opportunity, intensifying the strength of the Anti-Spiral Force once more. At the same time, he wielded the Universe Diagram and the Dual Space, sandwiching Lin Luo from all sides, attempting to eradicate him in one blow.

“Spiral Force... Explode for me!” Lin Luo roared. Propelled by the Spiral Force, he kicked the Universe Diagram away; the Dual Space shattered under a single punch. Meanwhile, the clash between the Spiral Force and the Anti-Spiral Force ripped open spatial distortions, causing cracks to appear. The entire space groaned ominously... seemingly on the verge of collapse.

But precisely at the moment the two forces canceled each other out, Lin Luo abruptly utilized Instant Movement, appearing directly above the Evil King, and stomped down!

“Damn it, again…” The Evil King nearly spat blood. Lin Luo’s "cowardly" tactic infuriated him to the point of cursing his ancestors, but before he could finish his tirade, the foot, far larger than any house, slammed him deep into the earth. He didn't even have time to mount a defense.

“I’ll stomp you to death!” Lin Luo exerted his divine might, his colossal foot relentlessly pounding the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM... Every impact unleashed a heaven-shaking roar; every strike made the earth tremble violently. These were not mere physical attacks—they were laced with the ultimate power of the Spiral Force. In a flash, the Evil King’s body was stomped deep into the earth, causing the very land to quake.

“You goddamn—is there an end to this!” After Lin Luo had stomped a few dozen times, a terrifying voice roared up from the depths, carrying the force of an overwhelming tide. The Evil King burst from the ground, nebulae swirling rapidly around him, the Universe Diagram erupting with astonishing might, directly hurling Lin Luo’s massive body high into the sky.

Without the slightest pause, as soon as he emerged, the Evil King’s counterattack was like a monstrous tempest. The Anti-Spiral Force strengthened further, and the Universe Diagram transformed into a sharp, lightning-like cone, stabbing toward Lin Luo’s body... Never before had he been so enraged. The foremost powerhouse among the Walkers had been trampled underfoot. This humiliation surpassed even his defeat in Gensokyo; he yearned to grind Lin Luo to dust.

Hiss!

The Anti-Spiral Force unleashed by the Evil King in his extreme fury was terrifying beyond measure. Although Lin Luo defended in time, he still couldn't fully withstand it; his massive form was instantly blown apart! But!

A vast life essence condensed in the void, forming a gigantic spiral over three hundred meters in diameter, spinning furiously, absorbing all external energy. In just a moment, Lin Luo’s hundred-meter-tall physique reappeared.

“As long as the spiral turns, this body is immortal. Heaven and earth are my body!” Amidst the roar, Lin Luo’s thick arm twisted into a spiral, striking downwards with irresistible majesty.

“Above heaven and under heaven, I alone am sovereign! Anti-Spiral Force, Nebula Tremor!” The Evil King was equally unyielding, pushing his power to its absolute limit. Though his body did not enlarge, behind him materialized a massive humanoid form composed entirely of swirling nebulae, launching ferocious attacks.

BOOM!!!

The instant of collision unleashed a terrifying shockwave that pulverized everything in the vicinity, causing space itself to utterly collapse, manifesting countless dimensional rifts across the void.

The Spiral Force and the Anti-Spiral Force were powers that mutually restrained one another. As one force strengthened, the other would correspondingly grow stronger; fundamentally, both shared the same origin. As Lin Luo and the Evil King’s fierce battle continued unabated, not just the ground, but the entire sky suffered catastrophic damage... That unstoppable power was enough to destroy space and consequently disrupt the tranquility of the cosmos, potentially even triggering dimensional quakes.

“I didn't expect... things to devolve into this.” From a dozen li away from the battlefield, the Dark King watched the unfolding combat with a measure of surprise. This battle had required painstaking calculation and plotting, and while he had glimpsed a sliver of victory, the escalating stream of surprises had thrown the entire situation completely out of control.

With the current state of affairs, even his own power made direct intervention difficult, which filled him with intense reluctance and regret. Although Lin Luo was powerful, the Evil King was stronger. The outcome of their fight was difficult to predict; perhaps mutual destruction, perhaps a draw... If they annihilated each other, it wouldn't be the worst ending for him, but he knew that if mutual destruction occurred, he wouldn't escape either, as he had used tracking abilities, rendering him unable to use the Starlight Avenue for three days.

With the power Lin Luo and the Evil King currently wielded, they were capable of shattering this planet. If they escalated further, even escape would be impossible for him. Moreover, no matter what, the Evil King must be eliminated first. It was a rare opportunity; letting him escape now would be a tragedy. But with his current strength...

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just as these thoughts crossed his mind, four figures suddenly flew in from the four cardinal directions, arriving beside him like bolts of lightning—it was the Four Sacred Beasts. The existence of the Four Sacred Beasts was intrinsically linked to his soul; otherwise, he could not have used their power so freely. Sensing his desire, the Four Sacred Beasts proactively offered to fight.

“You all...” Hearing the Beasts’ proposal, the Dark King’s expression shifted involuntarily. As the stabilizers of the world’s order, the ultimate power of the Four Sacred Beasts could not possibly be limited to what was currently displayed. Yes, he could become even stronger, but that level of power would extract an immense cost from him.

The Dark King hesitated, glancing toward the distant battle. Lin Luo and the Evil King were evenly matched. If he could join the fray, their combined strength could certainly slay the Evil King, allowing him to finally avenge past grievances... If the Evil King managed to survive this encounter having mastered the Anti-Spiral Force, he would undoubtedly become stronger, making the Dark King’s chance for revenge nearly zero.

Though he might eventually clash with Lin Luo in the future, the Evil King remained the enemy he had to defeat. This was a singular opportunity; missing it might mean losing all hope forever!

“Very well, all grudges end here!” With his decision made, the Dark King no longer hesitated. Drawing upon the power of the Four Sacred Beasts, a formidable aura erupted from his body once more as he charged toward the battlefield... The Azure Dragon’s Nine Heavens Thunder, the White Tiger’s Tornado Gale, the Vermilion Bird’s Scorching Flames, the Black Tortoise’s Freezing Blizzards—this was the most direct manifestation of the Four Sacred Beasts’ power to define worldly order.

“Insolent dog, overestimating yourself!” Seeing the Dark King attack, the Evil King let out a cold snort, disdain faintly coloring his tone. The Universe Diagram spun, vast cosmic energy coalescing into an Unordered Space, blasting forward with unstoppable might.

The return of the Four Sacred Beasts to the Dark King’s side signaled that the order of this world was no longer under the Evil King’s control. The Evil King could once again wield the rules of disorder. Unordered Power combined with the Anti-Spiral Force made him stronger... Currently, at least in this location, he had completely reached the peak of the Earth Tier, perhaps even slightly surpassing Lin Luo. Meanwhile, the Dark King, even after integrating the Four Sacred Beasts' power, could only reach the high-level Earth Tier at best—a disparity that was impossible to bridge. If struck by the Unordered Space, he would certainly be obliterated in an instant. But!

“Then let me show you what suffering your underestimation can bring!” Completely ignoring the Unordered Space rushing toward him head-on, the Dark King spread his arms wide, releasing all the power of the Four Sacred Beasts from his body back to their true forms. Then, “Azure Dragon to the left, White Tiger to the right, Black Tortoise beneath my feet, Vermilion Bird above my head... The Four Sacred Beasts merge—The Divine Sacred Body!”

“Roar!” The Four Sacred Beasts cried out in unison. In this instant, their essence and form reached their complete state, and then... The Azure Dragon shot into the Dark King’s left arm as a streak of cyan light; the White Tiger became a white light entering his right arm; the Black Tortoise turned into a green glow entering his feet; and the Vermilion Bird’s sky-obscuring fiery light flooded the top of the Dark King’s head.

How to utilize the Four Sacred Beasts’ power to the maximum? It wasn't merely channeling their energy into oneself, but fusing their very existence with one's own, thereby evolving oneself into a Sacred Body. This way, the Dark King could command all the Beasts’ powers at will, vastly exceeding mere power fusion. However, there was a drawback to merging the Beasts’ existence with his own: it meant "the existence of the Four Sacred Beasts would vanish!"

If the Four Sacred Beasts were in their true, complete state, this wouldn't be the case, but the current Four Sacred Beasts were far from complete.

Originally, the Dark King would never have used this ability, but to kill the Evil King, he had to seize this moment. Without paying a certain price, victory was impossible. Moreover, in his current state, if the planet were truly destroyed, he wouldn't survive either.

As the Divine Sacred Body manifested, endless Sacred Power surged from the Dark King’s body. The Dragon’s roar, the Tiger’s snarl, the Bird’s cry, and the Tortoise’s undulation—as this Sacred Power permeated the heavens and earth, with just a simple gesture, the Unordered Space unleashed by the Evil King was annihilated!

This was inevitable, for the Dark King, in this form, was the embodiment of the world's order.

“Damn it!” Faced with this sudden turn of events, even the Evil King sensed impending danger. But before he could react, Lin Luo’s Spiral Force slammed in from the front—the hundred-meter-tall Cosmic Incarnation was shattered by a single punch from Lin Luo!

Evidently, Lin Luo had once again surpassed his limits.
