"Hu Linfei, stop resisting," Tian Yu said, shaking her head gently. "You are simply no match for the Underworld King. The gap between us is too vast. Continuing to fight is nothing more than seeking a meaningless death."
"Ask me to surrender? Never!" Hu Linfei fell into a combat stance, determined to resist until the bitter end.
But the moment the thought of defiance rose, the crushing pressure of the Underworld struck him again!
"Argh!"
BOOM!
The Huanlin God slammed into the ground. Under the immense gravity, the space surrounding him seemed to distort slightly.
"Ah Fei!" Seeing Hu Linfei suppressed by the unique gravitational pull once more, Tian Yu's heart flared with panic. She instinctively took a half-step forward, her concern written plainly across her features.
Hu Linfei gritted his teeth, constantly adjusting his mindset. After several breaths, the pressure finally receded. Standing back up, he assumed his stance again. "Come on!"
Seeing this, Long Jian and Tai Lei hesitated no longer. With their minds in sync with Hu Linfei, the three performed a Super Ultra God Three-Way Combination!
The Huanlin Beast formed the main torso, the Longzhan Beast formed the arms, and the Leixiang Beast formed the legs. Combined, the Super Ultra God's Energy reached 2.2 Black Holes, nearly matching Lion King's 2.5.
"Ah Fei! I'll give you a hand too!" Miao Tiaojun scrambled up from the dirt. His Energy erupted, and a surge of green power flooded into the Super Ultra God, causing its strength to skyrocket once more!
"AAAAAAH!"
The trio roared as they felt the rush of surging power!
Hah!
BOOM!
An Energy storm swept across the hall. On Ren's detector, the Super Ultra God's Energy had now reached 3.0 Black Holes. Aside from Ming Wang and Ren himself, no one present could stand against them.
Seeing this, Lion King and Ye Lingyun didn't stay on the sidelines. They both entered their Super Ultra forms. Ren, wanting to test his own limits, followed suit.
"Golden Crow God!"
A mecha as black as ink, adorned with golden sun patterns and vast obsidian wings, manifested. A burst of golden Energy erupted, slamming into the Super Ultra God and sending it reeling back!
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned. The gazes directed at Ren were filled with pure shock.
"Good! With Ren here, the Super Ultra God is no match for us!" Lion King shouted in delight.
Ren seized the moment: "Leave these three to me, Lion King!"
With a burst of speed, he appeared instantly before the Super Ultra God, driving a fist into its chest.
BOOM!
The force of the punch sent the giant mecha hurtling backward. It skidded across the ground, kicking up a trail of sparks, before smashing through a mountainside.
"Super Ultra God? Is that all?" Ren remarked arrogantly.
"You...!" Hu Linfei glared at Ren. He couldn't outfight him, and he couldn't out-argue him. He was fuming with nowhere to vent. "Again!"
Hu Linfei charged, focusing red Energy into his right fist. He broke through the air, aiming straight for Ren's face! Ren simply reached out, catching the massive fist in a single hand.
"Hu Linfei, you're still a few levels short," Ren said coldly.
What! Hu Linfei broke into a cold sweat. His full-power strike had been caught as easily as a child's toy. Ren shoved the fist aside, and as the Super Ultra God lost its balance, Ren pivoted and delivered a powerful kick to its back!
CLANG!!
The Super Ultra God flew like a kite with its string cut. Ren hadn't held back—his 4.0 Black Holepower erupted fully. Faced with such a gap, the trio had no way to resist. The mecha crashed into the ground in a "spread eagle" position and began to dissolve into light.
Hu Linfei, Long Jian, and Tai Lei staggered to their feet, but their knees buckled, and they fell back to the ground.
"Dammit!" Hu Linfei punched the earth in frustration. "We can't even beat one of Ming Wang's subordinates!"
Ren deactivated his Super Ultra form and returned to Ming Wang's side, seeing they were no longer a threat. Ming Wang, though surprised by Ren's growth, was pleased to have such a powerful ally. He turned to the defeated warriors one last time.
"I will give you one final chance. Join us and become warriors of the Underworld."
"In your dreams!"
Ming Wang wasted no more words. He raised both hands, and a pillar of black Energy shot into the heavens.
"Since a headwind blew against me, I have learned to resist the winds from all eight directions and sail my boat forward!"
"XUANMING BLACK HOLE!"
Rumble—!
The sky seemed to open a void maw, ready to swallow the world. Under the titanic gravitational pull, Hu Linfei and the others felt their bodies being lifted. Ren and his allies, however, remained unaffected, watching the trio struggle.
One by one, Long Jian and Tai Lei were sucked in. As Hu Linfei was being pulled up, Tian Yu suddenly leaped into the air, grabbing his arm.
"Let go, Tian Yu," Hu Linfei said softly. "You finally made it back to your father. There's no need to stand against him for our sake."
Tian Yu shook her head with a sad smile. "Between Heaven and Hell, I may not have the power to choose my life, but I still have the power to choose how I die!"
She threw Hu Linfei toward the surface, intending to sacrifice herself, but Hu Linfei turned in mid-air and dove into the void with her. Miao Tiaojun followed shortly after.
With the enemies gone, the Black Hole vanished, and silence returned.
"Attack!" Ming Wang commanded.
The Wolf Tribe legions, prepared for a hundred thousand years, launched their invasion. With no Super Ultra-level defenders left in the other universes, they were crushed in a matter of hours. The Wolf Tribe became the undisputed rulers of the Seven Parallel Universes.
But just as their victory seemed complete, the sky turned dark with clouds, and the Xuanming Black Hole—which had just vanished—reappeared.
