Taichu's robes billowed in the starlight, and the pressure of the Quasi-Emperor Realm swept across the entire star field like a tide.
He noticed the patterns on the opponent's armor—they were composed of countless ouroboros, one end to the other, forming a ring.
Each scale shimmered with the fluctuations of laws from different eras.
"This is the Universe Inspector," Empress Houtu suddenly spoke.
The Reincarnation Disk in his hand emitted a blinding red light. "I've seen this symbol in the fragments of the Heaven Mending Record. Legend has it that they wander in the cracks between eras, maintaining some kind of... balance."
The three thousand incarnations of Six-Eared Macaque simultaneously narrowed their eyes and merged into one.
At this time, Six-Eared Macaque had reached the Half-Step Supreme Realm, and his combat power was several times stronger than before.
He shouted angrily, "Master, they smell of Chaos Tide!"
Before he finished speaking, the armor of the Inspector General suddenly disintegrated and reassembled, transforming into thousands of silver-white chains.
At the end of each chain, a miniature Black Hole appears, swallowing up all the fragments of stars within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
The Reincarnation Mirror in Xuan Yuan's hand suddenly reversed, and what was reflected in the mirror was not the current battlefield, but the scene when the Nine Heavens Hell was being stripped away.
"Cause and effect reversal?" The seven-colored light on the sword of the Saint Lord Chenyi suddenly froze.
He discovered that the sword energy he had unleashed was flowing back to its sheath. "This isn't ordinary time manipulation; their energy transcends this world."
The Bronze Key mark on Taichu's forehead suddenly became hot, and he saw a familiar Hundun Taiji Diagram emerging from the depths of those Black Hole.
The warship beneath the Inspector' feet began to deform, its deck cracking to reveal rune-covered cannon muzzles, where supreme spiritual energy was gathering.
"Step back!"
Taichu formed the Ancient Forbidden Seal with his hands, and nine pillars of primordial light descended from the void.
Just as the energy cannon was about to fire, the blood array of the Twelve Ancestral Witches suddenly appeared in the starry sky.
Empress Houtu condensed a drop of essence blood from her fingertip, and the spurted essence blood condensed into ancient witchcraft in the vacuum.
The moment the beam of energy from the cannon collided with the incantation, the entire Primordial Origin World heard a shattering sound.
Suddenly, the Hundun Taiji Diagram beneath everyone's feet cracked open, revealing a boiling ocean of Dark Matter below.
Six-Eared Macaque simultaneously formed hand seals, perfectly merging the Law of Space, time, and Law of War, creating a massive vortex in the air.
Taichu's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice, "So that's how it is..."
Amidst the turbulent energy flow, they grasped a stray Inspector's consciousness.
"You're not maintaining balance at all; you're just collecting 'variables' from different eras!"
A phantom of Bronze Key appeared in his palm and was directly inserted into that divine consciousness.
Countless fragments of memory surged forth, and with each layer of the Nine Heavens Hell peeled away, the Inspector's warship would devour the corresponding dimension.
The so-called balance is actually maintaining the multiverse in a "harvestable" state.
Suddenly, the Saint Lord Chenyi merged with his sword, transforming into a sword beam that traversed the Milky Way.
As the sword flashed, the outer hull of the Inspector's warship peeled away layer by layer.
Revealing the writhing, Hundun flesh inside—it was not a being from the Immortal Realm at all, but a living weapon nurtured by the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws!
"Feng'er, be careful of the backlash!"
When Caifeng unleashed her innate Nirvana Fire, her flesh and blood were stained black upon touching the warship.
Her tail feathers withered instantly, revealing her stark white bones.
Xuan Yuan hurriedly used the Reincarnation Mirror to cover her, but the mirror surface revealed the Nine Heavens Hell, with the supreme beings at the bottom frantically devouring the source.
Seeing that things were not going well, the Third Elder grabbed Caifeng with his large hand and took her into his own hands.
Taichu was extremely angry, his body hissing and his pupils suddenly turned into pure dark gold, Quasi-Emperor Realm Law Domain expanded with a roar.
Countless bronze chains extended from the void, forcibly securing the warship that was undergoing mutation.
He saw that each Inspector's spine was connected to a black pipe.
At the end of the pipe is a brain immersed in Hundun liquid.
The surface of those brains was covered with dark gold patterns, just like the mark on Tianqi's forehead.
"You guys have... mass-produced the Hundun Core of Tianqi?"
The Taichu sound caused space to resonate, and nearby stars exploded one after another.
He plunged his hands into the void, tearing out two boiling rivers of time, in which countless Primordial Origin World were being harvested by the Inspector.
The helmet of the chief Inspector suddenly exploded, revealing a face that was half immortal and half demon, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance, radiating endless eerie light.
His eyes shot out dark red scanning beams, and the fleshy part of his mouth split open to his ears.
"Have you finally realized it? The 'savior' of each era will ultimately become our nourishment..."
Suddenly, a bell rang from the direction of the Nine Heavens Hell, and the distant prison buildings began to twist and deform, transforming into a giant bronze sword spanning the Milky Way.
Nine vertical pupils opened at the hilt of the sword, reflecting images of his Taichu lives in the primordial era—he was actually a traitor of the first Inspector!
"Do you remember now?" The chief Inspector's voice pierced through the Taichu law domain.
"Countless ages ago, you stole the key to the tenth floor, and you also left behind a secret door for reversal in every cycle of reincarnation."
"If it weren't for you, we would have unified all the universes long ago. Die!"
Having said that, a tremendous surge of magical power surged toward Taichu.
Taichu hearing the Inspector's words, Tai Chu seemed to recall something and froze on the spot.
"Taichu Lord, return your mind and spirit to oneness."
Suddenly, the sword of the Saint Lord Chenyi changed direction, and the inscriptions on the sword automatically rearranged.
A powerful sword aura met the Inspector's attack head-on.
Empress Houtu's Reincarnation Disk flew uncontrollably toward the giant sword, and the huge fluctuations of magical power formed a giant net that blocked Taichu.
The memories sealed in the plate poured out like a waterfall. Everyone saw the original Primordial Taichu, which, in order to resist the Inspector, pierced the Bronze Key into its heart and split its soul into billions of parts, scattering them across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
"Master, be careful!" Xuan Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, forcibly increasing his spiritual power, and stood in front of Taichu.
However, the Inspector's magical power was too great, and the combined attack of everyone was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The Taichu body began to disintegrate, Quasi-Emperor Realm's power transformed into a golden rain that drenched the starry sea.
Every drop of rain reflects the battles across different timelines, with countless Taichu clashing with the Inspector in different dimensions.
The bronze greatsword emitted a piercing shriek, and the prison runes on its blade came to life, transforming into chains that bound the Primordial Origin World.
"Master, Sect Leader, Realm Lord..."
Countless voices echoed in the air, and everyone stared in astonishment at the scene before them.
Suddenly, time seemed to freeze. The Taichu fragment of the primordial soul emitted a dazzling light, and the battle scenes across all timelines froze simultaneously.
Countless points of light converged in one direction. Not only had Taichu recovered itself, but its magical power seemed to be even more profound than before.
With a single, open punch, a powerful pressure swept across the entire Primordial Origin World, shattering the spatial barriers.
After the punch, the Hundun Core within the leader of the Inspector was shattered, and the remnants of those harvested eras gushed out from the wound.
The bronze giant sword formed from the Nine Heavens Hell suddenly turned its tip and stabbed at the warship.
"How is this possible? How could you be so strong?"
The head of the Inspector looked at Taichu with resentment.
"Only by transcending calculation can you grasp true power, and only then can you know what the Way is."
Countless Taichu voices resonated in the sea of stars.
The Inspector's fleet center began to expand again. The devoured dimensions tore through the warships like sharp blades, and the cries of countless souls echoed from the Hundun flesh and blood.
When the light faded, the bronze giant sword had transformed into Star Gate.
The surviving remnants of the Inspector were fleeing when they were dragged into the Ruins by the Twelve Ancestral Witches who suddenly appeared.
Saint Lord Chenyi gripped the cracked sword, he noticed that the hilt was gradually being repaired.
"Don't be careless, it's not over yet." A weak voice came from the Star Gate, and Tianqi, whose body was wrapped in bronze chains, slowly walked out.
His left eye displayed the Primordial Origin World Star Map, while his right eye reflected the illusory image of the Inspector's mothership. "They come from beyond the Source Sea; the true battlefield lies..."
Before he could finish speaking, three beams of light spanning millions of light-years suddenly cleaved open the Star Gate and headed towards Tianqi.
A sense of transcendence beyond Hundun spread out, and everyone saw at the end of the sword light, a throne made up of the wreckage of countless Inspector warships.
The figure on the throne raised a hand and tapped lightly, and Tianqi's figure disappeared.
"The Eternal War, welcome to the game." The voice resounded deep within everyone's true spirit. "You can call me... Reverse Entropy."
