"Oh my, oh my, it seems that our little Lin Chuan has unknowingly already gotten very close to the realm of us Angels. Looks like you won that ten-year agreement." The Angel Vados watched the continuously ascending pillar of energy on the arena and muttered with a smile.
At the same time, the Grand Priest standing atop the void platform, Zeno seated upon the supreme throne, and the two guards of Zeno also quietly watched Lin Chuan's transformation at this moment.
At the center of the pillar of energy.
The silver-white energy rapidly returned, the radiance condensing to the extreme, and the infinite pressure was completely withdrawn. Lin Chuan appeared in the form of Super Saiyan 5 · God Ultimate · Ultra Instinct.
At this moment, his strength was so terrifying that it directly reached the unit of the Thirteenth Dimension Load!
"How does it feel... Jiren?" The super pressure released by Lin Chuan's casual words caused the Gods of Destruction, including Jiren, to feel an extremely deadly pressure.
The flame-like light surrounding Jiren, which was powerful enough to surpass the sun, seemed like a candle flickering in the wind before Lin Chuan's ultimate divine power, showing signs of being extinguished at any moment.
Jiren was now completely dumbfounded by the shock, and the feeling in his heart was utterly impossible to describe with words.
Excitement, anticipation, panic, fear...
Various emotions lingered in Jiren's heart, causing subtle changes in his state of mind.
A special feeling came from the depths of his soul, as if the current Lin Chuan was completely beyond his ability to shake or contend with.
But even knowing that he was no match, Jiren still had to fight. He knew very well that fighting an expert like this was one of the few opportunities available to him, and also an opportunity for him to break into a higher realm.
"Saiyans... truly an incredible race. Relying on continuous transformations, you can reach such a realm... I admit that you've surpassed me, but... I won't give up here. In this battle, I will give everything I have until I finally fall!!" There was a trace of restraint in Jiren's voice, but more than that was an unwavering determination to move forward.
He cast aside all distracting thoughts and assumed a fighting stance, intending to fight with all his strength.
"Even after understanding the gap in strength between us, you've still decided to challenge me? Good." Lin Chuan respected Jiren's choice and would also eliminate him in the most dignified manner.
Then, it would be time to settle accounts with the remaining eleven Gods of Destruction.
"Come at me! Lin Chuan!!" Jiren shouted loudly, consecutively firing more than a dozen powerful energy waves through the air toward Lin Chuan.
When these energy blasts were still half a meter away from Lin Chuan, they were fixed in the void by an invisible force. At a speed visible to the naked eye, they collapsed and completely turned into nothingness.
"I've already made my move." As Lin Chuan's words fell, the invisible aura pressure swept straight toward Jiren, bringing him tremendous pressure not only physically, but mentally as well.
Facing the tremendous invisible pressure, Jiren gritted his teeth and persevered, relying on his absolutely tenacious willpower to withstand this invisible offensive.
"Hmph~~!! This kind of boring trick is useless against me. Take this attack!!!" Jiren leaped into the air, raising both hands high. A super-large dark-red energy sphere condensed into shape.
This was precisely one of Jiren's ultimate techniques, High-Energy Cutter. It appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary large energy sphere, but in reality, it concentrated Ultimate Power within it. Once it exploded, the destruction it caused was far beyond what ordinary attacks could compare to.
Jiren raised his hand and tossed it, sending the dark-red energy sphere containing Ultimate Power toward Lin Chuan.
Sensing the power of this attack, Lin Chuan raised his right hand, and an energy beam shot from his palm, bombarding the dark-red energy sphere.
'Rumble~~!!!!!!!!'
In an instant, the dark-red energy sphere was dismantled, and the afterglow of the explosion covered this area of space.
At the same time, Jiren attacked again, using high-speed movement to charge in front of Lin Chuan. His Super Heavy Punch condensed with Ultimate Power swung straight toward Lin Chuan's face.
'Bang!!!' A loud explosion rang out.
Jiren's full-powered Super Heavy Strike was casually blocked by Lin Chuan with a raised hand.
After failing to land one attack, Jiren quickly withdrew his fist and, amid a series of furious roars, launched an even more ferocious and forceful full-power offensive against Lin Chuan.
But unfortunately, the gap in strength was far too great. In Lin Chuan's eyes, Jiren's attack speed was as slow as a crawling snail.
Moreover, Lin Chuan was currently in the Ultra Instinct state. There was no need for him to deliberately defend against Jiren's attacks. His body could automatically react, dodging and blocking every attack.
More than a dozen consecutive full-power attacks all missed, leaving Jiren's face filled with disbelief, his entire person dumbfounded.
Previously, he had thought that he had the strength to fight Lin Chuan. Now it seemed that he had been too naive. The strength of the two had long since ceased to exist on the same dimension.
The next second, Lin Chuan launched another attack at a speed Jiren could not see clearly. Jiren only felt a silver-white light flash before his eyes, and his consciousness briefly became dazed.
When he came to his senses, he was already on an arena fragment a thousand meters away, with bright-red blood continuously flowing from his nostrils, so conspicuous.
"Damn it!!" Veins bulged on Jiren's forehead. Unwilling to accept defeat like this, he decided to attack once again.
"AAAHHHH!!!!" A hysterical roar erupted from Jiren's mouth. His fighting spirit surged to an unprecedented level, and the dark-red flames once again burned fiercely.
Sensing Jiren's unyielding will, Lin Chuan decided to eliminate him in the most dignified manner.
The power of the Law of Spacetime gathered upon his right fist, supported by Divine Power and Bloodline Power, while the energy continued to increase.
"Take this!! Super · Burning Electromagnetic!!" Jiren unleashed everything he had, releasing a gigantic pillar of energy that charged straight toward Lin Chuan.
"This is my return gift, Ultimate Hardening · Spacetime Collapse Strike!" Lin Chuan threw a punch through the air. The powerful pressure of his fist drove the dense Law Power to release invisible force, colliding with Jiren's Super · Burning Electromagnetic.
The instant the two forces collided, Jiren's Super · Burning Electromagnetic was mercilessly annihilated, while terrifying energy tore through the air and attacked Jiren.
In an instant, Jiren's eyes became dull, and every cell in his body transmitted a deadly danger signal.
Unable to dodge in time, he could only cross his arms in front of himself and forcibly withstand this attack.
'Boom!!!!!!!' A heaven-shaking roar erupted.
Blinding light of destruction rapidly expanded, swallowing everything, including Jiren and Lin Chuan.
Seeing this, the ten Gods of Destruction on the arena hurriedly opened protective barriers before themselves, blocking the advance of the destructive shockwaves.
Everyone in the spectator areas except the Angels instinctively raised their hands at the same time, shielding their eyes.
The Grand Priest standing in the void remained expressionless and incomparably calm, but a considerable disturbance arose in his heart.
"Wow, wow!! So dazzling, so intense, so amazing!!" Zeno on the supreme throne cheered excitedly.
