My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 575 Core Manufacturing Real Body Universe Emperor

At the summit of Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan heard the regional announcement and smiled slightly.

The Holy Sword quest was cancelled, which suited his wishes.

Since the Holy Sword has no owner, he still has a chance.

"There's also a final boss, and this final boss should be related to the Holy Sword!"

As soon as Zhou Nan had a thought, the Imaginary Gods scattered throughout the Investiture of the Gods world sensed it. They bowed to the players who had been following them and then transformed into cards. The cards then turned into streams of light and headed towards Zhou Nan's location.

The entire world of Investiture of the Gods is also changing at this moment: mountains are sinking, valleys are rising, seawater is evaporating, plants are disappearing, and spirits, beasts, and mortals are all turning into white light.

At the foot of Chiyang Mountain, the mortals of most of Chiyang cried out in terror.

The earthquake struck, their houses collapsed, and their stored grain, hunted animals, and brewed wine all vanished.

In the tribe, people of all ages and genders, whether strong or injured, were all bathed in white light. They did not know what was happening and shouted the name of the Crimson Sun Immortal, but they could not resist the great trend of the world's change and all turned into white light.

Chiyang Mountain is also sinking.

Light also shone from Flying Bear Fairy, Jade Fairy, and the Mountain God of Chiyang Mountain.

Flying Bear Fairy's face showed a look of horror as she shouted, "What happened? Why has everyone disappeared?!"

Jade Fairy: "My body is disappearing..."

Only the mountain god of Chiyang Mountain seemed to understand, and said in a deep voice, "Our destiny has come to an end!"

After speaking, he looked at Chiyang Mountain. The mountain guardian who had been sitting cross-legged in the void had suddenly transformed into a card, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards the mountaintop.

"Little fairy, farewell, Master!"

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain bowed to the summit of Chiyang Mountain. Before he could rise, his body shattered into a ball of white light and vanished.

Zhou Nan descended from Chiyang Mountain and saw the Chiyang Mountain God, Flying Bear Fairy, and Jade Fairy vanish in a flash of light. He shook his head with some reluctance.

"Let's meet again if we have the chance!"

Zhou Nan bowed and took his leave.

The core power, shattering illusions, aims to erase everything in the Investiture of the Gods world, and he has no power to stop it.

In his perception, this world was gradually flattening out, seemingly forming a huge platform.

"This is the battlefield..."

Zhou Nan suddenly realized that the ultimate BOSS would descend here. If the true cosmic emperor were to descend, he would probably come here as well.

This is the battlefield that the core specifically created.

With a loud bang.

A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the blue sky and white clouds turned into chaotic clouds. Zhou Nan looked up and sensed that the Conferred God Platform was collapsing.

The Conferred God Platform was never meant to be permanent. It was created by the Conferred God Lord and is a manifestation of a special law, not a core, unreal object. Perhaps its energy has been exhausted, or perhaps the Conferred God Lord has withdrawn that power, and it is about to dissipate.

At the same time, the Naihe Bridge hidden beneath the world of Investiture of the Gods is also collapsing.

Like the Conferred God Platform, the Bridge of Helplessness is also a manifestation of some kind of law. Its function is to protect the earth soul of players in the Conferred God world, or rather, to lock their earth soul, so that the lifespan of all players in this place will not be diminished.

With the collapse of the Bridge of Helplessness, this protection also disappeared.

Next comes the change in the flow of time.

The time fog surrounding the world of Fengshen is slowly dissipating, and the flow of time within the world of Fengshen is gradually beginning to synchronize with the outside world.

Suddenly, a black vortex appeared in the chaotic, cloud-like sky, and a beam of light slowly descended from it.

All players in the world of Fengshen, no matter where they are, can see the black vortex and the descending light.

Zhou Nan sensed something.

He knew that the final boss had appeared.

"Regional Announcement: The ultimate boss has arrived! The Holy Sword is set as a loot drop. Please note that the ultimate boss is a true divine being with immense combat power and independent consciousness, aiming to destroy the world. Please challenge with caution..."

"Regional Announcement: The final boss is about to enter pursuit mode. Players killed by it will be teleported out of the Fengshen World..."

"The Holy Sword has been changed to drop items; that suits me just fine!"

Zhou Nan spread his aura, sensing the changes in the energy of various places in the Investiture of the Gods world. He took a step and instantly teleported away, disappearing from the spot.

Somewhere, Li Xinxin stared blankly as a golden light fell down in front of him.

"No way, could it be that the ultimate boss has descended upon me?!"

With a flick of his arms, two revolvers appeared in his hands.

As one of the players secretly nurtured by the Card Goddess, Li Xinxin naturally has extraordinary abilities. His ability is the Imaginary Weapon, which allows him to materialize the firearms he imagines at will and launch attacks with them. He has an unlimited supply of bullets.

This is a true manifestation, not something that relies on the power of the core. Once he has a real physical body, he can use those guns to deal real damage.

For three hundred years in the world of Investiture of the Gods, Li Xinxin has been honing his gun skills. At first, he could only imagine conventional firearms such as revolvers, sniper rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers. But now, he can also conjure up powerful firearms such as laser guns, railguns, and electromagnetic guns.

His strength has greatly improved, but he has become much more humble than before.

Because he was well aware that his combat strength was relatively weak among the players in the world of Fengshen.

"The Holy Sword quest started strong but ended weakly, and they never even decided who would get the Holy Sword. Now they say it drops from a boss. I wonder if I'll ever have a chance..."

Li Xinxin stared at the golden light ahead, ready to make a move at any moment. Then she saw the golden light dissipate, slowly revealing a mass of flowing small particles.

The tiny particles were wriggling and flowing, like a wriggling mosaic.

That is, of course, the ultimate BOSS, maintaining the first form of the Cosmic Emperor, slowly transforming into human form.

"Let's do it!"

Without hesitation, Li Xinxin immediately pulled the trigger. The two revolvers in her hands were incredibly powerful, with extremely fast bullet firing speed, creating a dense barrage of fire, with firepower comparable to two heavy machine guns.

The writhing mosaic was blasted apart, its particles flying everywhere and rapidly deforming. But the small particles that were knocked away flowed back, and gradually, it still formed a human shape. At this point, the dense bullets falling on its body were like mud oxen entering the sea, causing no ripples whatsoever.

"Who am I? Where am I?"

A deep male voice came from the mosaic figure. She seemed somewhat confused, looking at her own body, ignoring Li Xinxin's attack.

Soon, as if regaining her memory, she exclaimed, "I remember now! I am the Cosmic Emperor, I come from beyond the heavens, I am a divine being, the master of time and space..."

Li Xinxin then flicked her hands, and the revolver in her hands suddenly transformed into two laser guns. Crimson beams of light shot out from the muzzles and struck the Cosmic Emperor's chest, immediately bringing forth two balls of flame.

The Cosmic Emperor seemed oblivious, still seemingly sorting through her memories, and continued speaking to herself: "I am a divine being, wielding divine power. Now I have obtained the core holy sword and mastered the card laws, but this is not enough. I will plunder the core control program of this airship, excavate the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, digest and absorb them, and become the Inconceivable! Hahahaha!"

She casually reached up and touched her chest, extinguishing the flames ignited by Li Xinxin's laser gun.

"Damn, is its defense that strong?"

Li Xinxin frowned, and without hesitation immediately knelt on the ground, pushing her hands forward, and a laser railgun more than three meters tall and full of science fiction was materialized.

"Take this!"

Li Xinxin shouted, and the orbital cannon immediately fired. A pale blue ball of light shot out from the cannon's muzzle, carrying a blinding light, and struck the Cosmic Emperor's chest at the speed of light, shattering half of her body. Numerous small particles flew out like blood and flesh fragments, tinged with pale blue.

"Did it work?"

Li Xinxin was overjoyed, but then the small particles that had been splashing around quickly gathered and flowed back, reforming the upper body of the Cosmic Emperor.

The Great Emperor of the Universe seemed to only then notice the person attacking him. He pointed a finger at Li Xinxin, and suddenly a card flew out from his fingertip, spinning like a dart and heading towards Li Xinxin.

Li Xinxin dared not be careless. With a thought, the laser railgun disappeared, and a revolver reappeared in his hands. He raised his hand and fired two shots, accurately hitting the card and knocking it away.

The card that was knocked away exploded with a bang, turning into a large number of small particles. These particles floated, each about the size of a mung bean, a standard cube, and completely black. In an instant, they scattered in the air, which was hundreds of meters wide, densely packed and countless. They then gathered towards Li Xinxin like a swarm of flying ants.

No sooner said than done, Li Xinxin tried his best to dodge, but he was no match for the speed of those tiny particles. His gun attacks could not stop them either. Just as he was about to be surrounded, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The figure wasn't tall, but he stood straight and upright. Li Xinxin saw him raise his hand, and somehow, all the small particles that had gathered together were fixed in place, then burned and glowed, turning into sparks in the blink of an eye and disappearing.

"Back off!"

The newcomer was Zhou Nan. He had locked onto the location of the Cosmic Emperor and teleported there instantly. He took a step forward and unleashed another palm strike.

With a hum, a gleaming compass flew out from the palm of the hand. The compass rapidly grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, it suddenly covered the mosaic-shaped Cosmic Emperor, projecting light downwards as if forming a giant bell that enveloped the Cosmic Emperor.

This is the [Boundless Compass]. Once the compass is activated, gravity becomes disordered and changes in real time, making it a trapping and killing technique.

The Cosmic Emperor, enveloped by the Boundless Compass, felt the tiny particles on his body pulsating violently and irregularly. He let out a soft "Eh?" and looked at Zhou Nan, asking, "Who are you?"

"The one who killed you and stole your sword!"

Zhou Nan spoke calmly, snapped his fingers, and a card flew out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a white-clad figure with a bang.

That was Zhou Bai, the nuclear-powered sword immortal.

Its current foundation is an overwhelming 18,000 units of power!

That is, six warehouses!

Since Zhou Nan's cultivation broke through, he has been cultivating a thousand dou of qi a day, all of which he has used to upgrade the cards of the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal.

This domineering, nuclear-powered sword immortal with 18,000 dou of power is undoubtedly Zhou Nan's strongest fantasy god.

"Kill me and take my sword?"

The Cosmic Emperor, who had been immobilized by the Boundless Compass, floated uncontrollably, spinning erratically within the field created by the compass. Sometimes he was upside down, sometimes lying flat, sometimes standing at an angle. However, his body was also strangely adaptable, quickly adjusting to the constantly changing force field. Tiny particles on his body wriggled and flowed, quickly adapting to the changes in the force field, always facing Zhou Nan directly. He said with a slightly bewildered expression, "You've come to seize the Core Holy Sword? That's impossible. It's already under my control. Let me kill you and devour you!"

The core-manufacturing version of the Cosmic Emperor stretched out his fist and smashed it into the light screen stretched out by the Boundless Compass, making a loud clanging sound and causing ripples to appear on the light screen.

At that moment, another flash of light appeared in the sky.

This time, it's Blue Lotus that's appearing.

She was also carrying someone in her arms, Lan Cuihua.

The two stood suspended in mid-air. Lan Cuihua glanced at Li Xinxin and hurriedly shouted, "Step back! Don't interfere with the Black Card Emperor's battle!"

Lan Caihe waved her hand, and a floating grandstand appeared in the sky. She then pointed at Li Xinxin, and Li Xinxin's body flew into the air and landed on a floating grandstand.

Meanwhile, on another stand, a flash of light appeared, and Wu Tian teleported there.

Then another sphere of light, resembling the sun, appeared, surrounded by nine halos. It did not enter the stands but hung in the sky.

That is, of course, the star wheel, which manifests the image of the Tathagata in Nirvana.

Zhou Nan also noticed the approaching Wu Tian and Xing Lun, nodded to them, and the next moment, with a thought, the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal made his move, first unleashing a nuclear energy sword aura that shot out like a divine arrow, piercing the chest of the Cosmic Emperor in the Boundless Compass.

The power of this sword strike surpassed that of the previous six. Zhou Nan estimated that even if it were the Atomic Dinosaur Zhang Daqian, it would definitely be pierced through with one strike, or at least severely injured if not killed.

But when the Great Emperor of the Universe was pierced by this sword energy, a large hole appeared in his chest. The wound looked gruesome, but small particles quickly gathered around it and filled the hole in his chest.

He appeared completely unharmed.

Blue Butterfly spoke up: "This is the first form of the Cosmic Emperor. According to the core's calculations, her body is composed of 1.36 million cubic particles, and each cubic particle is a polished fragment of space. These spatial fragments are very stable and solid, and possess a trace of black hole properties, capable of absorbing objects and energy. To break through this form of the Cosmic Emperor, all spatial fragments must be shattered!"

"They actually told me about the abilities of Unicron!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nan seemed to understand something.

The Cosmic Emperor, trapped within the Boundless Compass, was listening intently. She asked, slightly bewildered, "This is my ability? No, although my body is composed of 1.36 million spatial fragments, these fragments don't possess black hole properties or gravity. My body... has it been weakened?"

In their consciousness, there is no concept that they were created by the core.

The core version of the universe is only trying its best to imitate the real Universe Emperor, but it cannot completely replicate it, let alone replicate the Universe Emperor's abilities 100%. At least in its first form, the core version of the Universe Emperor is far inferior to the real Universe Emperor, and even inferior to the projection of the real Universe Emperor.
