At the instant that dark light flashed, Lin Chuan's perception once again confirmed that an indescribable power existed within Liz's body.
"You're quite special." The moment those words fell, Lin Chuan's mind stirred.
The Law of Space was activated, forming an invisible barrier around Liz and firmly sealing him inside.
"Spatial Lock? Such a technique is useless against me." With a thought, Liz awakened the dormant God of Destruction Power within his body, his strength once again crossing a dimensional boundary and reaching the Twelfth Dimension.
God of Destruction Power blazed around his body like raging flames.
"Haaah~!" Liz suddenly exerted his strength, the might of a God of Destruction rapidly expanding as it assaulted the invisible barrier surrounding him.
Crack... BOOM!!!
The invisible spatial barrier exploded, shattering into countless fragments.
"Eightfold Bombardment!!! Go!!!" Liz launched his attack, the tails behind him continuously firing multiple pillars of destructive energy that tore through the air toward Lin Chuan.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan casually waved his hand. An aurora formed from the power of the Laws of Space-Time shot out from his palm, instantly destroying every incoming pillar of destructive energy.
In the next instant, a blurred shadow burst through the flames of the explosion and rushed toward Lin Chuan, unleashing an unstoppable crushing blow.
"Interesting, but that's all." With a thought, Lin Chuan entered his Super Saiyan 5 · Ultra Ego state and unleashed a powerful punch.
BOOM!!!!!
The two fists collided, and the overwhelming destructive force spread rapidly, transforming into a raging hurricane.
After failing to gain the upper hand, Liz immediately attacked again.
His figure flickered as dark purple light flashed around him, making his movements impossible to predict or comprehend.
His bizarre figure darted freely through space, launching deadly attacks from multiple directions in a single instant.
Against anyone else, such an assault would have completely overwhelmed them.
But unfortunately for him, his opponent was Lin Chuan.
Even without being in the Ultra Instinct state, Lin Chuan could effortlessly deal with every one of Liz's attacks thanks to his ability to foresee the future.
Unable to break through Lin Chuan's defense with close combat, Liz immediately changed tactics. Leaping high into the air, he reached an altitude of over a hundred meters as God of Destruction Power surged throughout his body and erupted in an instant.
Raising both hands overhead, energy rapidly gathered.
After a crimson-purple Super Sphere of Destruction took shape, Liz compressed it with both hands, shrinking it from a massive sphere over a hundred meters wide into a condensed Sphere of Destruction only the size of a basketball.
Doing so not only increased its destructive power but also greatly accelerated its attack speed.
Its usage was very similar to Iwan's, yet fundamentally different.
"Take this!!" Liz tossed the condensed Sphere of Destruction with one hand. Like a falling meteor, it hurtled toward Lin Chuan from above.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan showed no concern whatsoever.
With a simple raise of his hand, he caught the condensed Sphere of Destruction.
Applying a slight amount of force, the sphere twisted under his overwhelming strength before rapidly collapsing, breaking apart into countless energy particles scattered through space.
The very instant Lin Chuan crushed the condensed Sphere of Destruction—
Liz moved once again, silently appearing behind Lin Chuan.
God of Destruction Power gathered in his palm as he thrust his hand forward.
Whoosh~~!!
His sharp claws pierced straight through Lin Chuan's heart.
But there was no sensation of actually hitting anything.
Liz's expression immediately changed.
"This is bad... an afterimage."
Just as he came to his senses and attempted to retreat, he suddenly discovered that his wrist had been seized.
The tremendous strength gripping him left him completely unable to move.
"You've attacked enough, haven't you? Now it's my turn." Lin Chuan smiled coldly before swinging his arm and hurling Liz away.
Liz immediately felt an overwhelmingly savage force seize control of his body, sending him flying backward as he smashed through multiple Super Katchin pillars.
Without giving Liz even a moment to breathe, Lin Chuan crossed space in the next second, appearing directly before him and throwing another devastating punch.
Startled, Liz immediately crossed both fists before his chest to block Lin Chuan's second attack.
Boom!!!
Using every ounce of his strength, Liz barely managed to block Lin Chuan's destructive punch, though both of his arms felt as though they were about to shatter.
But it wasn't over.
Lin Chuan had no intention of letting him off so easily.
Crossing space once again, he appeared behind Liz and unleashed a fully charged whip kick directly into his back.
The instant the blow landed, Liz's blood and Ki churned violently inside his body. His spine nearly shattered as he was flipped through the air before crashing into an enormous boulder.
Dust and shattered stone exploded everywhere as thick smoke filled the air.
Liz's body was buried beneath countless massive rocks, his condition unknown.
Two or three seconds later...
At the center of the rubble, a faint purple light flickered.
A long-dormant God of Destruction Power erupted from deep within Liz's body.
BOOM~~!!!
Every boulder was instantly obliterated as Liz burst from the center of the explosion, soaring toward the skies above the World of Void.
After several exchanges, he had fully realized that Lin Chuan was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
A direct confrontation was completely hopeless.
The only option left was to unleash every offensive technique he possessed and force Lin Chuan into revealing an opening.
Buzz~~!!
Pure God of Destruction Power burned around his body like blazing flames.
The next instant, countless destructive energy beams spread through the sky like a torrential storm.
The densely packed beams formed an enormous web that covered the heavens, leaving no room to evade as it descended toward Lin Chuan.
"A saturation bombardment. You're trying to restrict my movements so I reveal an opening for your killing blow. It's not a bad idea." Lin Chuan looked completely unconcerned.
Such little tricks had no effect on him.
He casually waved his hand.
A powerful Destruction Slash tore through space before colliding with the countless destructive energy beams, triggering a chain reaction.
In the blink of an eye, every destructive energy beam exploded.
A massive wall of flames completely separated Lin Chuan and Liz.
Which happened to be one of Liz's plans.
Using the wall of fire to block Lin Chuan's vision and perception, he could seize the opportunity to prepare his ultimate attack and catch Lin Chuan completely off guard.
Liz spread both hands apart.
Pure God of Destruction Power gathered within his palms before rapidly converging, forming an incredibly deep and terrifying destructive radiance.
Layer after layer of destructive light condensed within his palms.
With each successive compression, its destructive power reached even greater heights.
"Take this—Ultimate Destruction Death Ray!!!"
Liz's ultimate technique was complete.
Pushing both hands forward, a white-purple beam of destruction erupted from his palms, carrying enough terrifying power to destroy worlds as it pierced through the massive wall of flames and shot directly toward Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan remained completely calm.
The instant he raised his hand, the Law of Space formed a counterclockwise rotating vortex.
Just before striking him, the white-purple beam of destruction was completely swallowed by the rotating spatial vortex.
"What?! How is this possible?! The power of space... devouring ultimate destructive power?!" Liz's pupils shrank violently.
He had imagined many possible outcomes.
Never had he imagined his ultimate attack would be neutralized in such a manner.
"Speaking of which..." Lin Chuan smiled.
"Are you capable of dealing with your own ultimate technique?"
"What are you talking about?" An ominous feeling suddenly arose within Liz's heart.
Something terrible was about to happen.
The next second, his premonition came true.
From within the spatial vortex, Liz's Ultimate Destruction Death Ray was released.
Lin Chuan returned the powerful attack to him completely intact.
Seeing his own ultimate technique reflected back, Liz froze in terror as it struck him head-on.
BOOM~~!!!!!
With an earth-shaking explosion, Liz was engulfed in deep violet flames created by his own ultimate attack.
A long time later...
As the flames gradually dispersed, Liz's body was covered in horrifying wounds.
His aura had plummeted drastically, leaving him in an unimaginably critical condition.
"Still standing? Then let me help you a little more."
Seeing this, Lin Chuan unleashed a Ki Punch from afar.
The attack crossed space at unimaginable speed and struck Liz with perfect accuracy.
Already gravely wounded, Liz suffered another devastating blow, and his body finally reached its limit.
He spat out a huge mouthful of blood.
Every bone in his body shattered from the impact.
His God of Destruction Power dispersed as his body lost all support and fell from the sky onto the arena.
At this point, the outcome appeared decided.
No!
It wasn't that simple.
Just as Liz had been beaten to the brink of death...
The mysterious power that had long lain dormant within his body seized the opportunity.
It invaded his consciousness...
And took control of his body.
The dying Liz suddenly revealed black eyes streaked with white light.
An unknown power also began surging from deep within his heavily wounded body.
The instant that power appeared...
Lin Chuan and every god present were stunned.
[It's this power again... Just what is it?!]
Lin Chuan's expression gradually became serious.
Logically speaking, this power should never have appeared within Liz.
Nor should it have appeared within any god.
He didn't know what secret this man was hiding.
But one thing was certain.
This sinister power originated from another world.
Shrouded by the evil energy, Liz slowly stood up.
Dark crimson, sinister light radiated from his body.
The injuries he had sustained while fighting Lin Chuan recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His aura even surpassed its previous peak.
Although he still remained within the Twelfth Dimension, the oppressive force he now radiated was significantly stronger than that of God of Destruction Arak, whom Lin Chuan had fought previously.
"I've been lurking inside this body for so long... and now I've finally obtained control."
A voice completely different from Liz's suddenly emerged from his mouth.
Pushing aside the surrounding rubble, he appeared before Lin Chuan completely unharmed.
"You..." Lin Chuan's expression became increasingly solemn as killing intent flashed through his deep violet eyes.
"Who are you?"
"Does my identity really matter?" The possessed Liz revealed a sinister smile.
"You managed to destroy a fragment of that Lord's divine consciousness. I'd like to see just how powerful the so-called strongest Saiyan of this timeline truly is."
An eerie light flashed through the possessed Liz's eyes.
The next moment, empowered by that evil force, his body became even stronger.
His strength rose another level, approaching the peak of the Twelfth Dimension.
Those words instantly awakened Lin Chuan's memories.
It was the first time he had ever been driven into absolute despair.
Forced into a desperate situation, he had sacrificed all of his Law Power before using the power of the Laws of Space-Time to summon his future self, ultimately reversing the situation and escaping certain defeat.
"So..." Lin Chuan's eyes sharpened.
"You're one of that guy's subordinates?"
He had never expected the servants of that unknown existence to extend their claws into the Tournament of Power in his own space-time.
Hearing this, the possessed Liz let out a sinister laugh, once again confirming Lin Chuan's suspicion.
Now that his guess had been verified...
Killing intent surged within Lin Chuan's eyes.
Since his identity had already been confirmed, there was no longer any reason to show mercy.
In an instant...
Lin Chuan's previously concealed aura exploded outward.
Overwhelming divine pressure merged with his Bloodline Power pressure, enveloping the entire arena and stirring the entire World of Void.
The moment this terrifying pressure appeared...
Every God of Destruction's heart tightened.
Their pupils contracted violently.
This pressure...
This impact...!!!
Lin Chuan's strength had actually reached such a level!
God of Destruction Arak, who had fought Lin Chuan before, frowned deeply and clenched his fists unwillingly.
In his heart, Lin Chuan had become such a dangerous existence that only all of the Gods of Destruction working together could defeat him.
God of Destruction Iwan, who had been meditating to recover, was awakened.
Standing atop a massive boulder, he turned his gaze toward the battlefield between Lin Chuan and the possessed Liz.
The remaining Gods of Destruction—Jin, Sidra, and Quitela—all watched Lin Chuan's battlefield with anxious expressions.
The development of the battle had already completely exceeded their expectations.
Besides them, every powerful warrior still remaining on the arena felt Lin Chuan's overwhelming aura.
The invisible pressure left them unable to breathe.
Only Jiren remained unaffected.
Everyone else suffered considerable suppression.
"So... this is your true strength?" Jiren frowned with a serious expression.
His body involuntarily trembled with excitement beneath the overwhelming pressure.
Lin Chuan's strength...
Was strength on an entirely different level.
He wondered which of them was truly stronger—his own ultimate power...
Or Lin Chuan's.
...
Above the void.
The Grand Priest watched the scene with great interest.
As for the servant from another world who had suddenly appeared...
He had actually known about it from the very beginning of the tournament.
Everything was proceeding according to his plan.
...
Upon the supreme throne.
After seeing Lin Chuan reveal his true power, Zeno's enthusiasm for battle was completely reignited.
"It's starting! It's starting!! Another thrilling super battle! Lin Chuan and that guy from Universe 8 who's releasing evil power are about to begin another round!"
Zeno's excitement had reached its peak as he eagerly anticipated the battle that was about to unfold.
The two Zeno Guards standing on either side of him exchanged glances, silently conveying a message to one another.
Servants from another world had already extended their reach here...
Openly operating right beneath their eyes.
Under normal circumstances...
They would have already taken action.
That servant would have been suppressed immediately.
But since Zeno had given no order for them to intervene...
They could only continue observing.
Placing their hopes on Lin Chuan to eliminate the source of this dark power.
