The Final Decisive Battle, A Draw?

In the midst of the starry expanse, two terrifying figures stood in confrontation.

"Lord Beerus, let us decide the victor!" Ye Ming said earnestly.

Beerus clenched his fists tight and replied, "Come then, Ye Ming. This is our final bout."

At this moment, Beerus had cast aside his arrogance. He held deep respect for Ye Ming's strength, for he had stepped into a realm that even gods found difficult to reach; even Beerus had spent a long time in cultivation before mastering Ultra Instinct.

With a sudden bang!

Their figures moved through space at high speeds, incredibly fast—fast to the extreme.

Beerus sent Ye Ming flying with a single punch, but thanks to Ultra Instinct, Ye Ming was agile enough to recover instantly and launch a counterattack.

Their bodies and their wills were locked in a fierce, intense clash, and countless planets crumbled into dust under the pressure of their power.

Far away in the Realm of the Gods, Old Kai and Shin watched this scene, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, sweat pouring down their faces incessantly.

"Old Ancestor, what do we do? Make them stop! If this continues, the universe will be destroyed!" Shin shouted in desperation.

The Old Ancestor shook his head, his face still drenched in sweat, and said with a tremor in his voice, "It is impossible. There is no hope of stopping them. This battle has already drawn the attention of the gods; it is a clash between a mortal and a deity of Universe 7."

Whis, back on Earth, had also taken note. He could not interfere with the decision of a God of Destruction, as Whis was only permitted to intervene in battles between Gods of Destruction.

He was powerless to stop a fight like this, and while he did not wish for the universe to be destroyed, it was ultimately of no consequence to him.

Whis possessed the ability to reverse time; the moment the universe was destroyed, he could trigger a temporal reversal to restore everything to an instant before.

Watching the two combatants grow increasingly intense, the Z Fighters felt a sense of unease. Fortunately, Whis had shielded the Earth, or it would have been obliterated long ago.

Vegeta and Son Goku were left stunned, realizing for the first time that the gap between them and Ye Ming was so vast that they could barely even track his shadow.

Son Goku clenched his fists, recalling the days he spent training with Ye Ming in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where Ye Ming had always told him: "You must hold firm to your convictions and forge your own path. No matter how thorny the road ahead may be, you must press forward with courage."

Vegeta's expression was equally somber, but he remembered an afternoon three years ago when he had sparred with Ye Ming.

The result was, without question, his own defeat; in those three years, Vegeta had never managed to land a single blow on Ye Ming.

At that time, a sense of frustration had taken root in Vegeta's heart: Am I truly a warrior with the blood of the Saiyan Prince flowing through my veins?

Ye Ming had suddenly turned to him and said, "Do not doubt yourself, Vegeta! You possess immense potential. It is only because you encountered me that you appear mediocre. You will eventually find a path that belongs to you; you may treat me as the goal you strive to surpass."

"Vegeta, we have always been friends, and we always will be!" Ye Ming said with a smile, patting Vegeta on the shoulder.

Coming back to his senses, Vegeta regained his confidence. Ye Ming was right—he would carve out his own path and become a true powerhouse!

Vegeta and Son Goku exchanged a glance, seeing in each other's eyes a soaring fighting spirit and an unyielding confidence.

Whis watched this quietly, thinking to himself: It seems they have not been discouraged by the battle between Beerus and Ye Ming; on the contrary, their fighting spirit is only growing stronger. These two are also promising talents!

Back on the battlefield, Beerus and Ye Ming had already exchanged thousands of blows, neither able to gain the upper hand.

However, as the battle dragged on, Ye Ming's use of the 20x Kaioken caused his stamina to drain rapidly.

He paused on a floating rock, gasping for air, thinking: I must end this quickly, or I will never be able to defeat Beerus! But as it stood, his strength was merely on par with Beerus.

Beerus also leaned against a rock, breathing heavily, showing that the fight had not been easy for him either; a trace of blood hung from the corner of his mouth.

He had not experienced such a heart-pounding battle in a long time, and it was clear that Beerus's fighting spirit had not yet been extinguished.

The two stared at each other, and with a sudden boom, they launched themselves from their positions.

As they attacked, the clash of their Ultra Instincts sent invisible ripples through space, leaving scars of their combat everywhere.

Suddenly, Ye Ming used Instant Transmission to appear behind Beerus, locking him in a chokehold and lifting him high before diving rapidly toward the ground.

Beerus knew what Ye Ming intended, but he would not allow it; he struck out with his elbow, aiming for Ye Ming's waist to break free.

Yet Ye Ming refused to let go, not even loosening his grip as blood trickled from his lips.

BOOM!!!

Dust billowed into the air. Beerus had suffered a heavy blow, crashing deep into the interior of a meteor, and Ye Ming seized the opportunity to fire a Kamehameha.

In an instant, a violent explosion swept through outer space, turning countless asteroids into powder.

When the smoke cleared, Beerus was seen holding up a protective barrier, having barely managed to block the attack.

Ye Ming's expression darkened; he had not expected a barrier.

"Damn it!" Ye Ming cursed under his breath.

But he did not slow his pace, charging toward Beerus once more.

Beerus condensed ten massive spheres of Hakai Energy and launched them at Ye Ming, who could feel the terrifying power contained within them.

He moved at high speed, attempting to use the debris of the meteors to block the incoming attacks.

But Beerus would not allow it, manipulating the trajectory of the Hakai Energy spheres with one hand, their speed relentless.

Seeing he could not dodge, Ye Ming turned back, condensing another Kamehameha. With a roar, he unleashed the blast, completely neutralizing the energy of the ten spheres.

Ye Ming crouched, gasping for air, his eyes never leaving Beerus, his own injuries clearly severe.

He knew he could not afford to slacken; whoever showed weakness first would be the one to lose.

Ye Ming spoke up, "Lord Beerus, if we continue to fight like this, the universe might be torn apart. Let us settle this with one final strike!"

Beerus looked somewhat disheveled, the effort of condensing the ten spheres of Hakai Energy having left him exhausted and struggling to maintain his stamina.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Very well, Ye Ming, let us see which of us will survive this move!"

Soon, a powerful aura erupted from Beerus once again, as purple energy and a multicolored radiance intertwined to form a massive energy sphere.

Seeing this, Ye Ming was filled with terror, for he knew this was Beerus's most powerful strike.

Ye Ming stood straight up, suddenly exploding with power as he roared. Golden light shone from his body, crisscrossed by countless bolts of lightning; Ye Ming was gathering his energy, pushing Ultra Instinct to its absolute limit.

He assumed the stance to gather a Kamehameha, only to be heard saying: "50x Kaioken!"

Under the augmentation of the 50x Kaioken, the energy began to condense rapidly, becoming immensely vast. Ye Ming's muscles bulged, his pupils widened, and a red aura covered his entire body.

Beerus also saw that Ye Ming was gathering a Kamehameha while using the 50x Kaioken, and his expression grew increasingly fierce.

Suddenly, they both finished gathering their energy, and Ye Ming shouted: "Lord Beerus, here I come!"

Beerus returned the favor—a tremendously powerful sphere of Hakai Energy, glowing with iridescent light, surged toward Ye Ming.

The moment the energies collided, all the surrounding planets were reduced to dust, and the universe trembled violently, the shockwaves even extending to other universes.

The Gods of Destruction were watching this spectacular battle through their Angels' staffs.

Ivan, the God of Destruction of Universe 1, remarked: "Oh my, this is incredible! This power is truly formidable! Beerus is having a hard fight; this mortal named Ye Ming is terrifyingly strong!"

In Universe 4, the rat-like God of Destruction, Quitela, said deviously: "A powerful warrior has appeared in Universe 7. Squeak, this is truly unfortunate for our universe!"

Clearly, the rat God of Destruction of Universe 4 and the clown God of Destruction of Universe 11 were birds of a feather.

In Universe 6, Champa watched the battle unfold without blinking, exclaiming in surprise: "To be able to push that guy Beerus to this extent, this fellow's strength is truly remarkable, and he has basically mastered Ultra Instinct."

Beside him, Vados quickly chimed in: "Lord Champa, your eyes are truly sharp; you are simply too brilliant."

As soon as Champa heard Vados say this, his face immediately darkened, though he did not lash out; Vados often teased Champa.

Back on the battlefield, Ye Ming and Beerus were locked in a passionate beam struggle, both having unleashed all of their power.

The void of the universe was constantly being shattered, and the residual shockwaves permeated the entire cosmos.

Ye Ming gritted his teeth and held on, his stamina nearly exhausted, but a conviction sustained him from within: I absolutely cannot fall. If I lose, it will be a catastrophe for Earth.

Beerus was also surprised that Ye Ming still had such abundant stamina, but he saw in Ye Ming's eyes an unyielding spirit—the pride of a true warrior.

Beerus realized: "Then I shall grant you the greatest respect, Ye Ming!"

Beerus's purple Hakai Energy suddenly surged, a terrifying aura erupting from him once more as his power took another step forward.

Ye Ming was not to be outdone; he roared, his aura pushed to its absolute limit.

Indeed, under this brilliant strike, the universe began to disintegrate.

At this moment, Whis took action. He instantly flashed to the center of the battlefield between Ye Ming and Beerus and used a temporal rewind.

Soon, after a few seconds, the universe returned to silence. The people on Earth looked around to see that everything was safe and sound, and they immediately felt at ease.

However, Ye Ming had collapsed onto the asteroid layer, exhausted and gasping for air, while Beerus landed wearily on a reef, clearly just as tired.

Whis walked over slowly and said: "Have you two not fought enough? The universe was nearly destroyed by your hands. How about we call this a draw?"

Beerus looked at Ye Ming, and Ye Ming looked back at Beerus; both nodded in agreement.

Ye Ming knew that at the moment the universe was being destroyed, it was Whis who had intervened, likely using a time-reversal technique.
