326 – The Destroyed Multiverse
by spirapiraThis roar shook the entire Allheavens Playground, and even the whole multiverse experienced terrifying anomalies because of Wang Ping’s scream.
Double-digit, although it was just a pseudo double-digit, its power was terrifying enough to shake the entire multiverse.
This caused endless beings to be terrified, not knowing what had happened, why such a terrifying existence was so enraged.
Meanwhile, those powerful beings who heard the name Heng Tian also had their pupils contract in even greater fear.
After all, Heng Tian was a double-digit powerhouse, and even among the double-digits, he was an ancient existence, ranked in the top ten.
Although this ranking was only for the time when they advanced to double-digit, it still spoke volumes.
Now, there was a suspected double-digit existence directly calling out Heng Tian’s name, and even asserting that he deserved to die. The implications were too terrifying.
Without a doubt, there might be a battle between double-digits next.
The battle between double-digit existences was something even three-digit beings had no qualification to participate in. Even just watching required extreme caution, as one careless move could lead to death.
“Wang Ping, let’s fight outside the Playground, we will determine our superiority and also life and death,”
Heng Tian’s cold voice resonated, causing the multiverse to tremble once more.
In an instant, the powerful beings of the multiverse all showed expressions of horror, knowing that a great disaster was about to happen.
For this reason, they couldn’t bother with entering the Allheavens Playground to climb the Heavenly Tower. The existences of four-digits, or those who had entered the Allheavens Playground before, all took out their Playground Passes like refugees and fled towards the Allheavens Playground.
They knew very well that escaping to the Allheavens Playground gave them a slim chance of survival.
If they stayed in the multiverse, they would surely perish.
It’s rumored that double-digit existences have the power to destroy and create the multiverse.
Such a level of power in battle could collapse the entire multiverse, and extinguish all paths and ways.
By that time, even if a double-digit existence recreated the multiverse, whether they would be resurrected was really a question.
No one wanted to gamble on the compassion of a double-digit. They could only grasp at their slim chance of survival.
!!!
In the Fantasy World, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was stunned.
Wang Ping had already advanced to double-digit… that was too fast.
But how did he end up confronting the ancient double-digit powerhouse Heng Tian, and in a life-and-death struggle.
“Ah, it looks like I can’t protect this world,”
The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor then looked deeply towards his homeland, smiling helplessly.
The battle between double-digit existences had too wide a range of influence.
It’s rumored that in the distant past, there was a battle between double-digit existences.
That battle had destroyed the multiverse.
Although a powerful being later restored the multiverse, no one wanted to experience that kind of ordeal.
Besides, no one could say for sure whether they would be revived.
However, even so, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor had no intention of fleeing to the Allheavens Playground.
There was no need.
If Wang Ping could win, everything would not be a problem.
If Wang Ping lost, as someone from Wang Ping’s faction, he would surely be purged.
Meanwhile, the third-generation chat group members living in different worlds across the multiverse and performing tasks were all bewildered.
They didn’t know what was happening, but upon hearing the name Wang Ping, many instinctively thought of Wang Ping, their chat group leader.
Thus, people like Lin Yuanyuan contacted Wang Ping immediately.
To this, Wang Ping did not respond.
At this moment, in the upper levels of the Allheavens Playground, Wang Ping looked towards the direction where Heng Tian was, and said coldly: “No, we will determine superiority and life and death? No, today you will fall and become my stepping stone to double-digit.”
As soon as he finished speaking, with a single thought from Wang Ping, all of Heng Tian’s sent subordinates mysteriously died, in Absolute Death, even revival items were useless.
“As expected from someone of the same lineage as him, truly arrogant.”
Heng Tian didn’t care about the death of his subordinates, he just snorted coldly, tearing apart the space of the Allheavens Playground and heading to the outside world.
For double-digit existences who can destroy the multiverse, wiping out those below double-digit requires no special Talent ability; just a thought is enough.
Wang Ping sneered and also tore through the space of the Allheavens Playground, heading to the multiverse, facing Heng Tian across countless worlds.
Without the rules of the Allheavens Playground suppressing them, their gaze clashing ignited terrifying destructive storms, destroying the worlds along the way, leaving nothing behind.
Among them were no few powerful worlds capable of birthing three-digit existences.
“Kill!”
Then, Heng Tian shouted loudly, his voice shaking the multiverse, causing countless worlds to shatter into nothingness.
Subsequently, his entire being charged towards Wang Ping, endless darkness engulfed everything.
Time, space, past, present, future, all held no meaning before this terrifying power.
Wang Ping snorted coldly, unleashing terrifying chaotic energy, in which countless worlds were destroyed and reborn, clashing with the endless darkness, entangling, and obliterating each other.
Thus, the battle between double-digit existences broke out.
Since both of them advanced to double-digit through the Heavenly Tower, their Destinies bore no distinction of strength or weakness.
Even though Heng Tian had become a double-digit entity in ancient times, his power had not increased at all; his strength had long been locked.
Therefore, Heng Tian could not occupy a significant advantage.
Of course, Wang Ping also couldn’t gain any advantage and was even in a relatively weak position.
After all, although Heng Tian couldn’t increase his strength, he had lived for an extremely long time. In terms of mastery at the double-digit level, in terms of combat experience at the double-digit level, Wang Ping couldn’t compare.
However, just like this, neither could really do anything to the other; neither could completely wipe out the other and decisively determine victory.
Even if one managed to kill the other once, the other could come back to life.
As long as someone remembered the existence of Wang Ping and Heng Tian, knew about Wang Ping and Heng Tian, even if it was just an unconscious murmur, Wang Ping and Heng Tian could come back to life.
Of course, murmurs from double-digit entities didn’t count because double-digit entities could block these rules.
To truly kill the other, the only way was to seize their Destiny Imprint and then erase them fundamentally.
However, to accomplish such a thing, the power gap between them must be enormous, or one must have a terrifying item; otherwise, trying to completely kill the other double-digit entity through battle alone would be as hard as climbing to the sky.
Heng Tian and Wang Ping collided; a casual strike would explode countless worlds and cause turmoil across the multiverse.
He was brimming with killing intent and shouted, ‘Wang Ping, if this is all you have, then you shall become the nourishment for my promotion to double-digit.’
As he said this, Heng Tian directly summoned an item, and an eerie darkness began to spread, a terrifying curse started to emerge.
It was a terrifying curse strong enough to have a significant impact on a double-digit entity.
Obviously, this was a double-digit item in Heng Tian’s possession.
‘Heh, a curse? If this is your trump card, then you are nothing much.’
Wang Ping burst out with terrifying power, trying to dispel the curse, but it was useless. However, he still did not panic and mocked Heng Tian.
These words made Heng Tian furrow his brows.
He realized that although Wang Ping’s power couldn’t dispel the curse, he was not affected by it.
‘It seems you possess a double-digit item that can nullify curses.’
Heng Tian said in a deep voice.
‘However, even if the curse is useless against you, you still won’t be my opponent. Junior, in terms of foundation, you are still far behind!’
Heng Tian shouted and summoned another item.
After this item appeared, a bizarre figure emerged from the darkness and attacked Wang Ping.
This made Wang Ping frown slightly.
Because this strange shadow also had power close to a pseudo double-digit level.
Although, at the pseudo double-digit level, even if it was two against one, it would be impossible to eliminate the other in a short time, requiring extremely long years, but ultimately, they would still be wiped out.
Therefore, Wang Ping did not hold back anymore and used a special double-digit item: Eternal Frost.
As soon as the double-digit special item: Eternal Frost was used by Wang Ping.
The terrifying freezing rule manifested across the multiverse; whether it was numerous worlds, the shadow, or Heng Tian himself, they were all frozen by this terrifying frost, as if they were about to become eternal ice sculptures.
Seeing this scene, the other double-digit entities were all in awe.
This item was too powerful; it could instantly freeze two double-digit entities.
However, what made their feelings even more complicated was that this newly promoted double-digit entity, Wang Ping, actually possessed so many double-digit items.
You know, even these double-digit powerhouses had very few double-digit items.
For example, an ancient double-digit entity like Heng Tian might have two or three double-digit items, while those who hadn’t existed for as long might be lucky to have one.
It’s just too difficult to obtain a double-digit item.
Even on the 80th floor and above in the Heavenly Tower, obtaining a double-digit item was not easy and required a very high rating.
That’s really tough.
Moreover, some double-digit items were one-time use; once used, they were gone.
And reaching their level, no one was willing to challenge the tower easily.
After all, they were already at the pinnacle of existence; unless it was a special situation, there really was no need to risk their lives for a double-digit item.
That said, when they hadn’t seen a life-and-death battle between double-digit entities in a long time, seeing the need for powerful double-digit items to gain the upper hand still made them feel complicated.
‘Heng Tian can’t be defeated so easily.’
A double-digit entity murmured.
‘He won’t be defeated so easily.’
A double-digit entity responded calmly.
‘He has been preparing for this day for a long time, and not long ago, he even traded for a special double-digit item with me.’
As soon as these words came out, the other double-digit entities’ eyes gleamed, knowing the real show was yet to come.
At this moment, the ice-sealed body of Heng Tian burst forth with terrifying black light, illuminating the entire multiverse.
Then, the multiverse wailed because of this dark power, while Heng Tian’s aura climbed rapidly, quickly breaking through the eternal ice, and he stared coldly at Wang Ping.
‘Wang Ping, don’t think that only you have special items to resist curses and controls. If this is your last trump card, then you will be utterly doomed.’
‘Heh… I’ll return that line to you.’
Wang Ping replied expressionlessly.
He was mentally prepared for this outcome.
After all, dealing with an ancient double-digit expert wasn’t going to be easy.
However, if possible, Wang Ping genuinely didn’t want to use the double-digit item given to him by that senior from the first-generation chat group.
Because if he were to use this item and manage to kill Heng Tian with it, it would mean he was truly outsmarted by that senior.
That senior’s calculation even included Wang Ping’s unorthodox methods, forcing his way to upgrade to double-digit by storming the tower.
It also meant that Heng Tian was nothing more than a pawn in this senior’s game, a pitiable pawn.
Heng Tian thought he was fighting desperately to advance to double digits, but all his actions were actually guided by that senior.
Wang Ping stopped wasting words. As Heng Tian launched a terrifying attack, Wang Ping directly took out the double-digit item: Myriad Daos.
With the emergence of the double-digit item: Myriad Daos, the myriad Daos of the multiverse resonated with Wang Ping.
Wang Ping’s power began to spike, carrying a sense of transcendence.
Then, with a casual strike, Wang Ping shattered Heng Tian’s attack and pulverized his body.
This transformation astonished many of the double digits.
They weren’t shocked by Wang Ping’s strength or by the destruction of Heng Tian’s body.
They were simply terrified at the appearance of the double-digit item: Myriad Daos.
Back then, the one from the Dust King Palace had used this item to forcefully suppress and seize the Destiny Imprint of an enemy.
“How did this item end up with Wang Ping? Is it possible that all of this was part of a calculated plot?”
A double digit thought with some trepidation.
Other double digits remained silent.
Initially, some had ulterior motives.
Now, those thoughts were completely wiped out.
No one knew who else might have been calculated by that senior, and if they acted rashly, even if that senior couldn’t leave the Heavenly Tower, they might face absolute death.
“Damn it! Wang Chen, you want to use me as a stepping stone for him? If that’s the case, I will break your plot, annihilate him, and render your calculations meaningless.”
Heng Tian recovered his body, feeling the familiar yet terrifying power. His expression twisted as he could not accept the fact that he had been outsmarted from the start, becoming nothing more than a clown.
For this reason, Heng Tian exploded. He was not willing to be annihilated by Wang Ping like a written script and have his Destiny Imprint taken.
Even if it meant mutual destruction, he wanted to break the plot!
Watching the almost crazed Heng Tian, Wang Ping remained silent.
The double-digit item: Myriad Daos could summon the power of the myriad Daos of the multiverse to enhance oneself.
This item didn’t seem overly powerful, seemingly useless in a battle of pseudo double-digit experts.
After all, even pseudo double digits could destroy the multiverse at a great cost.
However, the fact that they could destroy the multiverse didn’t mean the energy level of the myriad Daos was weak.
The augmentation from the myriad Daos was absolutely terrifying, but their power was too dispersed to be unified, which made it seem less effective compared to pseudo double digits.
Additionally, the double-digit item: Myriad Daos had an unspoken potential ability.
That was, when faced with power causing severe negative impacts on or threatening to destroy the multiverse, the item’s effects would be maximized. The myriad Daos would provide the greatest empowerment to Wang Ping, becoming stronger as the enemy grew darker.
Therefore, when Heng Tian broke out with a terrifying anomaly power, corroding the myriad Daos and breaking seals, the effects of the double-digit item: Myriad Daos were fully activated.
Because of this, Wang Ping couldn’t help but suspect whether the origin of Heng Tian’s special item was also related to that senior from the first-generation chat group.
If it was, it would genuinely terrify him.
Being calculated from start to finish was truly a despairing feeling.
So, Wang Ping very much understood Heng Tian’s almost insane demeanor.
After all, he was also the calculated party, but he was the nurtured one, while Heng Tian was the used and harmed one.
“You can’t break the plot. Your destiny is already sealed.”
Wang Ping sighed and launched an attack, engaging in battle with Heng Tian once more.
With the special item: Myriad Daos empowering him, Wang Ping’s power had completely surpassed Heng Tian’s.
Moreover, as time passed, Wang Ping’s strength would continue to grow.
Thus, it quickly became a situation where Heng Tian was ruthlessly suppressed and annihilated.
“If that’s the case, then you and the multiverse will accompany me in death.”
Heng Tian was all grim smiles, laughing maniacally.
At this moment, his flesh completely disintegrated, his essence was annihilated, and his pseudo double-digit Destiny Imprint emitted a terrifying strong light.
Then, the destruction began.
The multiverse was heading towards destruction and end, everything was going to cease to exist.
However, at this moment, Wang Ping’s power soared to its peak, and all the strength of the myriad Daos was bestowed upon him.
Wang Ping sighed, extended his hand, and directly seized Heng Tian’s unable-to-self-destruct pseudo double-digit Destiny Imprint.
For pseudo double-digit beings to destroy the multiverse, they had to abandon their flesh, soul, and essence, fully unleashing the power of their pseudo double-digit Destiny Imprint.
While they wouldn’t die, they would be weakened to the extreme, unable to reincarnate for a very long time.
In such a situation, it is undoubtedly very dangerous, as the other double-digits won’t just stand by and watch.
After all, everyone would be envious of a pseudo two-digit Destiny Imprint.
At this moment, the pseudo two-digit Destiny Imprint caught in Wang Ping’s hand struggled violently, trying to break free from Wang Ping’s grasp.
Unfortunately, Wang Ping would not let it have its way and began forcibly suppressing it.
During this process, Wang Ping did not pay attention to the destruction of the multiverse.
He couldn’t stop it; he could only protect himself.
However, as long as he suppressed and refined Heng Tian’s Destiny Imprint, advancing to a true two-digit level…
Then, the rebirth of the multiverse would be just a trivial task.
Next, Wang Ping didn’t care about the other double-digits and directly used his Talent ability to create an alternate space.
Although a three-digit Talent doesn’t have much effect in a battle between pseudo two-digits, after the battle, the Talent ability to create something to help him suppress and refine the Destiny Imprint was very convenient.
Seeing this scene, the other double-digits fell silent.
From the moment Wang Ping used the double-digit item: Myriad Daos, they had guessed the outcome.
However, when they actually witnessed this familiar yet unfamiliar ending, their emotions were still complex and melancholy.
So what if you are a pseudo two-digit? Without reaching the peak, you are still at the mercy of others.
In the end, these pseudo two-digits all silently bid farewell to Heng Tian, then one by one looked away.
The other beings in the Allheavens Playground felt relieved after sensing the terrifying disturbance finally end.
However, they soon learned the shocking news that the multiverse had been destroyed.
What followed was sorrow.
After all, many people came from the multiverse.
Now, their homeland was destroyed…
It can be said that they became beings without a home.
Even the strongest beings would feel homesick to some extent.
As for Alpha, after knowing that Wang Ping was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and was silently amazed at Wang Ping’s monstrosity.
How long has it been, and he’s already become a double-digit powerhouse? And he even defeated another double-digit. It’s simply defying the heavens.
‘If a faction has two double-digits, the master would surely be shocked. But where exactly has the master gone?’
Alpha muttered to himself, missing his creator deeply.
In the blink of an eye, decades passed, the turmoil gradually subsided, and no one even remembered the existence of the double-digit Heng Tian.
This made the other double-digits and some special three-digits realize that Heng Tian had been completely wiped out.
They naturally did not believe that Wang Ping had wiped out a double-digit powerhouse like Heng Tian in just a few decades.
In that strange alternate space, the flow of time must be different.
With Wang Ping’s cover, no one knew how long had passed in that place.
As time passed, another two years went by, and a terrifying aura flashed by.
This aura was too strong but appeared and disappeared too quickly and too secretly for even the other double-digits to notice.
However, the other double-digits soon discovered an anomaly.
The multiverse had been restored to its original state, and the beings of the multiverse did not know it had ever been destroyed, as if the great battle decades ago had never happened.
This made the other double-digits silent, guessing one thing…
That is, Wang Ping might have ascended to a true double-digit level, just like the one from Dust King Palace.
Hence, they no longer had the qualification to sense his presence.
‘Now, we can’t call him by name anymore.’
A double-digit existence sighed.
The other double-digits couldn’t help but smile bitterly, feeling especially complicated.
In terms of external time, Wang Ping was less than a hundred years old, right?
As beings who had existed for countless years as double-digit powerhouses, they didn’t even dare to call a person under a hundred years old by name… It’s simply absurd.
‘The second transcendent in the true sense of the word.’
A double-digit existence said enviously.
‘Indeed the second. But I think a third will likely appear. After all, another is needed to break through the ninetieth level.’
A double-digit existence murmured.
This made the other double-digits fall silent.
They didn’t know who the third one was or where they were now.
Perhaps that person’s growth would require one of them to be a stepping stone…
In other words, one of the double-digits would have the misfortune of becoming a pawn.
It seemed it was time to test their luck.
These double-digits all chuckled at their own expense.
