The five cosmic forces activated instantly, transferring Haihu's power in an incredibly mysterious manner—but in reality, there was nothing to transfer, because this universe had already begun to be destroyed with Haihu's punch.

The power of the white hole transferred and carried away the Sea Tiger's destructive force, but at the same time, the First Man realized his mistake—

It's correct to transfer these forces, but he absolutely cannot transfer the power of the Sea Tiger completely!

Under absolute power, the Sea Tiger Explosive Fist has been endowed with rules that transcend all fate and cause and effect—it will never miss; it will either fight head-on or be beaten!

And that is indeed the case!

The Sea Tiger Explosive Fist mercilessly and cruelly imprinted itself on the first man's chest. The immense destructive power, carrying the gravity that traversed the universe, instantly sent him into another dimension!

The shattered wounds cracked open in the dome of another time and space, and amidst countless terrified and ignorant gazes, two 'gods' traversed the world and entered another universe!

"Is this all you've got? First Man, don't let me down!!!"

Sea Tiger roared, and the instant it entered another dimension, it unleashed its killing move once more.

This time it's—a fucking trillion-power, super-fast explosive punch!!!

Compared to the previous move, this move simply breaks down one trillion units of power into countless parts of attack, which is equivalent to countless attacks of nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine trillion units of power!

But there's no difference; its destructive power and lethality are the same!

The power of the cosmic starburst was stirred up once again! What followed was the complete fall and annihilation of yet another universe, another world!

If the universe itself is the so-called 'Great Dao', then the battle between these two people might truly be the one that 'annihilates the Great Dao'!

However, neither Shounan nor Haihu felt anything about the extinction of life and matter in an entire universe.

Perhaps this is what those base people call 'divinity'—a transcendent being that regards everything except itself as nothing.

But this time, the first man was clearly prepared for the attack of the sea tiger!

"White hole power, fully activated!!!"

The first man roared, and the power of the white hole activated to its maximum instantly slowed down time without limit! This slowdown was equivalent to stopping time, but it only bought the first man three microseconds of time.

But that's enough, that's fucking enough!

In just three microseconds, the First Man saw through the huge flaw in Hai Hu's moves! And now, he was going to retaliate against that flaw!

"One Trillion Trillions of Power - Karma and Reincarnation Fist!!!"

This move, which Sha Antian had developed specifically to counter Haihu's Explosive Fist, was used instantly! In an instant, countless causal gears throughout the universe jammed Haihu, sealing off his power and existence!

Immediately afterwards, the power of cause and effect, along with the shattered gears, redirected all of Haihu's attacks back at him!

"Croak!!!"

The power of retribution erupted from Haihu's body! Just like the resentment brought about by the things that had perished in the entire universe, it frantically invaded and attacked Haihu's body and spirit.

In this round, the first man temporarily gained the upper hand!

Chapter 55 Surpassing One Trillion

Haihu's fist is powerful enough! Such immense strength is the absolute reliance for breaking through all false and nonsensical rules!

The first man's understanding of the Dao is profound enough! His unparalleled comprehension and substantial talent give him absolute control over powerful beings!

However, when the two collide, the outcome is difficult to predict, and it is impossible to get an answer in advance.

Haihu broke through Shounan's Dao with his fist, while Shounan's Dao also used itself to bind and break down Haihu's fist!

However, judging from the situation, it seems that the first man is the one who is at a disadvantage.

He used the power of the white hole to pause the Sea Tiger's attack and then counterattacked, but the next moment this move was no longer effective.

Ultimately, this power, which is close to stopping time, is not something that Haihu cannot control, not to mention that he had already suffered from such a loss 'last time'.

In this life, possessing even greater and more magnificent power than before, and having vaguely sensed and comprehended the consequences of his previous defeat, Haihu has no possibility of being utterly defeated by this move again.

Haihu has mastered the super time stop technique, and his fist is now able to break through the white hole's restraints!

It still has a power of one trillion, and even without any difference in power, his punches can still do things that he couldn't do before.

Why? There is no why!

Because the power itself has reached an immeasurable limit, Haihu doesn't need to understand any principles; he only needs to be able to break through those principles that displease him.

Time? Space? Life? Primordial spirit?

Damn it, I don't understand and don't need to understand these complicated and nonsensical things!

I only believe in my fists! I only believe in my strength! And with this unwavering belief, all of this is enough for me to win everything!

Continue the battle! Fight! Fight!

The first man fought the Sea Tiger continuously, and the aftershocks of their battles easily destroyed one passing universe after another!

The first man's methods were broken one by one, the power of cause and effect could no longer do anything to him, and his fate was determined by the fate of his mother, Mizuki Hitomi.

Black holes cannot escape his lock, and white holes cannot freeze time to find his weakness!

As for life...

Facing the power of the Sea Tiger with crystal clarity, Shounan now understands just how resilient his father's body was!

He should have been the first strongman to unleash a million horsepower, and although he didn't have the chance to do so in this historical event, his 'essence' remains the same!

Haihu, an exceptionally strong individual, a strong individual who was destined to die, and a strong individual whose fate was intertwined with that of the powerful child, Guanyue Tong!

Putting aside its fate, which has been recounted countless times, the sheer strength of the sea tiger's body is itself an incredible 'miracle'.

There are very few strong individuals who can contain the power of a million horses, but there are almost no bodies like the Sea Tiger's that can contain this power infinitely time and time again, and even adapt to it completely!

Or perhaps it was just Haihu alone.

The longer he fought against the first man, the clearer and more obvious this characteristic became.

A power of one trillion trillion—even the First Man would feel the 'wear and tear' from such power in battle, but Haihu didn't feel it; at least his body was constantly enduring this power!

At first, he would still suffer wear and tear and injuries, but later, after ten shots, the wear and tear became insignificant.

He was adapting to all of this; his body was adapting to absolute self-destruction!

Unbelievable! It doesn't make sense! But the first man understood all of this!

This is the ultimate manifestation of 'selfishness'. In this final battle, the strong who represent love and selfishness are different from these 'selfless' people in that they possess the power of absolute self!

Concentrate everything within yourself, reclaim all power for yourself, and let everything transcend all things.

I don't need help, nor can I get help, and my solitary self is the strongest self!

This is especially true for the sea tiger.

When Oga, whom he disliked, died, when his sons, Tsuyoshi and Takeo, died, and when he personally slaughtered his beloved wife, Hitomi Mizuki.

The process of removing what makes him 'selfless' is itself a process of making Haihu stronger. This is not the severing of ties in the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, but a process of abandoning all selflessness and moving towards absolute selfishness!

Therefore, he is absolutely powerful.

Absolute selfishness and absolute love endow an individual with absolute power!

Whether that love is for others or even for oneself!

"Kouhu~~~~"

After shattering an entire universe once again, the first man let out a weary breath for the first time, and Haihu did not intend to press his advantage, but stopped and waited for something.

"Father, you are absolutely powerful," the eldest man said in a low voice.

"In a contest of strength, I could never match you."

"Because the difference in our understanding of 'love' is incomparably vast," Haihu said calmly, his hands behind his back.

"For a simple matter, I can annihilate life without hesitation. For Hitomi, I can destroy one universe after another... Shounan, you understand what I mean, right?"

"Uncontrolled love, or rather extreme selfishness, is the most terrifying and horrifying force. Love has always been an extreme thing."

Yes, in the end, everyone with a strong magnetic field is actually a madman.

Any strong person who relies on emotions to the extreme is a madman. Perhaps some people think that the beauty of love is to make the strong not like madmen—ha, what a joke.

Love has always played the most extreme role in the spectrum of emotions. It is more persistent than hate, more enduring than pain, more stubborn than greed, and more persistent than desire.

Love itself is a mixture of all extreme emotions; its beauty is only for those who enjoy and are able to experience it, while for others...

Just look at Haihu. Such extreme love, such unbridled behavior—his current state is the ultimate interpretation of the term 'magnetic madman'.

Because I'm crazy enough, I'm fucking strong enough!

"It's almost time to end this time," Haihu said softly, releasing his grip.

"Shou Nan, my next punch will combine all my longing for Xiao Tong, and that will be my strongest punch—a punch that can completely annihilate you."

He made a statement with absolute confidence, but Haihu could absolutely turn that confident statement into absolute reality.

The next punch will be the end for the first man. Or will Haihu be defeated?

Haihu has already developed a confident approach, so what is Shounan's method of retaliation?

"..."

The first man slowly lowered his hand, then suddenly, looking at the void of the vanished universe, he raised his palm.

With a slight condensation, a massive power of one trillion was unleashed time and again! The First Man disregarded the damage to his already wounded body and primordial spirit, unleashing his own immense power!

What is he trying to do? Does he want to create powerful techniques and weapons that can defeat the Sea Tiger?

No, of course not.

As the power of the First Man coalesced, a dazzling light re-emerged from the void. Immediately afterwards, matter expanded, nebulae were born, comets swept across the land, and stars ignited.

With the power of the white hole, time expands exponentially! It cools planets, ignites stars, expands nebulae, and... gives birth to life again.

The lives and souls that were destroyed in the aftermath of the attacks by Shou Nan and Hai Hu were reincarnated. Perhaps they are no longer themselves in this new world, but they have completed the cycle of life.

Haihu watched all of this unfold quietly.

Until the first man let go, he only had enough power left to unleash a single shot with a power of one trillion.

"Does this make any sense?" Haihu asked calmly.

It wasn't that he was cold-hearted, but it was indeed a question—what would be the point of rebuilding the universe and creating life in the current situation?

He and the first man are going to fight one last time, and they believe that once this move is made, the universe is doomed.

Since destruction is inevitable, rebuilding everything now is nothing more than letting them experience annihilation once again.

"No...Father, they may be destroyed, but I am not here to save them," the eldest son whispered.

"I just want you to know that even without control over time, we still have the ability to reshape the world to the way it was when we destroyed it."

The first man wasn't trying to teach Haihu about the principles of life; he probably just wanted to tell Haihu that they had the ability to reverse all the destruction they had caused—even if they weren't powerful beings.

Without any ulterior motive, this was simply a simple thought for Shou Nan.

"I understand." Haihu nodded solemnly in response, then looked at his eldest son and chuckled.

“But First Man, although you have wasted your power, your actions have given you the qualification to ‘fight’ against me.”

The first man remained silent, but the 'qualification' that Haihu spoke of had indeed manifested itself in him!

Those lives, everything that was reshaped, all the great power unconsciously focused all its strength on the First Man. These thoughts coalesced, directed towards the First Man, towards the only selfless one among these 'gods' who annihilated all things.

Even though he only had a trillion units of power left, the First Man still had their help—to obtain this opportunity.

Then let's not say any more.

The first man slowly made a gesture, and Haihu also raised his fist. No matter what, their next move would determine their fate and that of the world!

Each gathered its strongest power, a power so ethereal it was impossible to sense. It wasn't a sign of weakening, but rather that its immense power had transcended the level of mere 'quantity'!

"Sea Tiger—"

"—Explosive Fist!!!"

Chapter 56 Leading to the End

The ultimate victor who will decide everything has emerged. Is it Haihu? Or Baishounan?

Haihu is absolutely powerful. Perhaps he doesn't have as much 'Dao' as Shounan, nor does he have Shounan's understanding and mastery of power, but he doesn't need to understand those things either.

Having reached this point, their combined power has exceeded the upper limit of magnetic field power. At this stage, techniques, realms, and even the immense power they possess are all insignificant.
