Chapter 813: Resonant World, Ascending to the Supreme
"Is this the battle of the universe?"
In Tianyuan City, Isloa, Duo Lai, Uta, Lu Liu, and other Eternal Realm beings were carefully experiencing it.
Compared to other Eternal Realms, they had many advantages. Not only did they understand the Great Force of Dead Bone, but they also had a more direct spectator perspective.
"Eternal Realm fights using their authority, defining rules advantageous to themselves."
But originally, they thought that the difference from Eternal Realm to Supreme was just the difference between 'side paths' to the 'main authority' grand path.
However, it was not just that.
Far from that.
"The supremes rely on their own authority to make moves, using the entire universe as a chessboard. Whoever places more pieces and more effectively connects and envelops the Rule Power will have a home-court advantage!"
This advantage is enormous.
Just as they, as Eternal Realms, fighting within a 'rule area' defined by other Eternals, naturally find themselves restrained, unable to exert even half of their strength.
For the supreme, whoever can place their pieces across the universe is the sole sovereign within this universe!
"But originally... Brother Dead Bone aside, 'Mystery' and 'Chaos', at the beginning of the battle, had the advantage in authority radiation."
The "Red Mist" authority only covered Red Mist Land.
Outside Red Mist Land, although many areas were also drifting with red mist, they were curbed by the Eternal World and Miracle Territory.
The "Mystery" with its Mysterious Merchant Alliance and "Chaos" with its Giant Beast Alliance, their influence and reach extended across the entire universe.
This meant that before the chess match began, "Mystery" had already placed ten pieces, "Chaos" seven, while "Red Mist" could only place three.
However, "Mystery" and "Chaos" were quickly caught up.
...
"Mystery" was surprised because of this.
The Emperor of Death had the weakest influence among the universe, starting with the fewest pieces, yet he managed to link all things related to death in the universe to restrain the spread of the "Red Mist" authority.
The Supreme Sovereign's authority can indeed touch the entire universe, that's true, but it does not mean that one thought can influence any region of the universe.
Sovereigns' mastery over universal authority varies in rankings.
Even the rank of universal authority itself varies. "Filth" is evidently higher than them.
Of course, fast placement and strong layout do not mean that this supreme of the universe is absolutely powerful, only that it holds a significant advantage in this regard.
Previously, among the universe's three supremes, the fastest to place pieces and the most influential was the Lord of Heaven of "Holy Light".
But in reality, the Master of Mystery feared "Chaos" the most, believing that it was the strongest among the supremes.
After all, battles among the supremes are not merely cross-space confrontations using the universe as a chessboard.
The chessboard is not just the universe alone.
There are many areas of confrontation that others cannot see or even imagine.
Of course, they can also choose a more dangerous and direct approach, tearing directly into Red Mist Land, facing off with "Red Mist" themselves in authority-to-authority clashes!
However,
Red Mist Land is quite perilous, "Mystery" has experienced it early on, and stepping in directly could easily result in misfortune.
His original plan was, in the face of disadvantage, to mobilize forces from across the universe and continue to place pieces with these aids, sustaining confrontation until gaining the upper hand, or seizing a flaw in the "Red Mist".
The Master of Mystery is adept at seizing flaws and peering into secrets, but it requires time.
And now, not only are they not at a disadvantage, but have a slight advantage?
After all, it's not just the Emperor of Death making moves; he and the Master of Giant Beast are also continuously opposing and besieging the authority of the "Red Mist".
Mystery glanced towards the Netherworld in the distance.
He praised, "Thankfully, the Emperor of Death ascended to supreme, otherwise it would have been dangerous."
Moreover, the Emperor of Death was not the 'Fake Supreme' he imagined.
The ascension of Red Mist's master was interrupted again.
The advantage was on their side.
...
"The advantage might not be on our side."
Dead Bone always liked to play it safe. He used the "Death" authority to influence various places in the universe, resurrecting the dead, bringing forth Yin Soldiers, and continually fighting against the Red Mist monsters.
This was not his full power.
The "Death" authority he wielded was not solely focused on death, instead, it includes life. The cycle of life and death never ends.
The Life and Death Cycle is his core means!
However, Dead Bone was after all just a newly ascended Supreme of the universe. At this time, while familiarizing himself with the supreme authority's power through battle, he had a strong intuition...
The "Red Mist" had not made a full assault.
It was as if he still had some strength held in reserve.
Think again, "Red Mist" had ascended to the Supreme Realm early, yet always remained secretive. He stayed hidden, nurturing three Eternal Realms—Blood and Flesh, Shadow, Birth—until these three ascended to supreme before making his move to harvest.
He waited until the Lord of Heaven struck, severely injuring the Three Filthy Sons, only then did the Red Mist genuinely reveal itself as the yellow sparrow.
"Red Mist is a patient old silver coin supreme."
Dead Bone pondered.
So he also agreed with the Master of Mystery's suggestion, not to rashly invade Red Mist Land.
However... he had a nagging feeling that this strategy was also within the "Red Mist's" expectations.
Dead Bone still had a faint sense, an intuition that something was amiss.
...
At the same time, Lord Shepherd was still in seclusion.
"Theoretically, the universal authority held by a supreme is one of the fundamental rules already existing in the entire universe."
