Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

And at this moment.

In a hidden place.

"Big Black Dog, weren't you taking us to escape? Why did we end up here?"

Long Zixuan looked at the battlefield ahead, speaking in confusion.

The Big Black Dog raised its dog eyes, staring at the Grey Emperor, who was absorbing black essence in the distance, and said:

"Once Little Grey becomes the Dark Heavenly Emperor, the Dark World at the End of Myriad Paths will arrive…"

"When that time comes, I'll take you all to fight and seize the lamp!"

But Lin Jiu Zheng frowned and said, "Still, isn't appearing here effectively exposing ourselves?"

After all, according to Tao Jie, they needed to stay alive.

Alive, so that Li Fan's state of mind wouldn't collapse, preventing him from becoming another Quiet One.

The Big Black Dog waved its paw, brimming with awe-inspiring spirit, declaring:

"So what if we're exposed? Death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai! Dying to preserve the spark of civilization is a meaningful death!"

"Follow this emperor, fight until the heavens and earth grow old, kill until the sun and moon grow dim, paving a road for humanity with this one life—what, are you afraid?!"

It was practically brimming with heroic passion, as though it were a magnificent general standing undaunted before a thousand armies, like a fearless hero towering over everything!

The group: "..."

"Damned mutt, here you go pretending again…"

Wu Dade sneered and said, "In the courtyard, you were scared pissless when Brother Long glared at you, and now you're acting all tough!"

The Big Black Dog was looking righteously magnanimous, but hearing Wu Dade's words, its composure crumbled slightly. It bared its teeth, saying:

"Fatty, is it that this emperor can't bite anymore, or are you acting up?"

Wu Dade instantly felt a suspicious tightness in his rear and instinctively took a step back.

Though he was now a Celestial King, when facing the Big Black Dog… even his Vajra-like body seemed unable to stand firm!

"Big Black, what exactly are you planning?"

Dugu Yuqing asked gravely.

Only then did the Big Black Dog shift its gaze away from Wu Dade, replying:

"The being confronting our master is everywhere and everywhen… If we want to escape, the only way is to enter past timelines."

"Though we can't elude his sight, we can live an extra day, one day at a time…"

"But the Dark World at the End of Myriad Paths occupies the chaotic space-time closest to the Forbidden Time-Space, leaving us no way to retreat into other past timelines… So, we must take it down!"

The determination in the Big Black Dog's eyes was unwavering!

"Ah… Big Black, you truly are the master escape artist."

Lu Rang couldn't help but sigh.

"Dead mutt,"

At this moment, Wu Dade suddenly spoke nervously toward the Big Black Dog and asked:

"…Is Master weaker than that Quiet One now?"

Truthfully, ever since they had begun fleeing, everyone had already vaguely estimated this.

The so-called great adversary, though unable to kill their master, likely held slightly greater power than him!

Indeed, Li Fan needed them to survive to steady his Dao heart.

From every angle… their master seemed to be at a disadvantage.

But the Big Black Dog squinted its dog eyes and said:

"This is something only those who know will understand. For those who don't, even if I explained, you wouldn't get it. Better not to say anything. Just savor it in silence. Don't ask me how this works; it ties into far too much. Speaking about it would bring no benefit to either of us. Simply pretend you don't know. And let's be clear: this matter runs deep and involves countless complexities… So it's best, if you don't understand, not to dig any deeper. Knowing too much is not good."

It rattled off one thing after another, leaving Wu Dade utterly flummoxed and somewhat awestruck!

"This… This is all nonsense… This damned mutt's pretending again?"

Lu Rang muttered under his breath.

Hearing this, Wu Dade snapped out of it, angered, exclaiming: "Dead mutt, are you messing with me again?"

He almost fully bought into what the dog was saying.

Even Long Zixuan and the others couldn't hold back their annoyance any longer, their gazes toward the Big Black Dog brimming with hostility!

The Big Black Dog saw them rolling up their sleeves and felt slightly uneasy, quickly saying:

"What are you planning… This emperor warns you: this emperor is second under heaven. Only by following me can you all be safe… Show some respect to this emperor!"

Yet it retreated step by step as it spoke.

The group was speechless; this damned mutt wouldn't stop putting on airs, even at a time like this.

"Beat it to death!"

"Dog meat hotpot!"

The group couldn't hold themselves back any longer.

They were deeply concerned about Li Fan's battle, yet the Big Black Dog remained tight-lipped.

Seeing this, the Big Black Dog panicked, quickly saying: "Fine, fine, this emperor will tell you the truth!"

The group stopped in their tracks, staring at it intently.

The Big Black Dog hesitated for a long moment before suddenly lifting a paw to point at Wu Dade.

Wu Dade instantly froze, his expression blank, mechanically saying:

"…Omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, all-hearing, all-reaching… the one supreme in heaven and earth, the pinnacle of creation—this is the Quiet One."

He recited these words, leaving Lin Jiu Zheng and the others shaken.

Having cultivated Supreme power themselves, they were all acutely aware of the implications of such descriptions.

The one supreme in heaven and earth…

The pinnacle of creation…

These phrases alone were enough to suffocate every living being.

After muttering this, Wu Dade snapped out of it suddenly, asking: "Huh? What just happened to me?"

"Dead mutt… You controlled me?"

He glared at the Big Black Dog.

The Big Black Dog replied:

"Nothing much, this emperor was testing whether saying those two words would bring down catastrophic misfortune… Considering that speaking his name without sufficient power would instantly annihilate you and transform you into a dark creature…"

"Hm, you didn't change. That means he doesn't intend to act for now and remains as an observer…"

The Big Black Dog mumbled.

Hearing this, Wu Dade felt his blood boiling.

"You conniving beast, even I'm not spared from your schemes? I'll beat you to death!"

Wu Dade was gritting his teeth with fury. If he had the strength, he'd have made a hotpot by now.

"By the way, what did I just say?"

Turning around, he asked Long Zixuan and the others.

But their faces bore heavy expressions.

"The Quiet One… supreme in heaven and earth, pinnacle of creation."

Long Zixuan repeated.

Wu Dade was startled, muttering to himself:

"So there really is someone in this world stronger than Master…"

His heart sank with worry.

"Regardless, let's do what we can!"

Dugu Yuqing spoke firmly, his face devoid of fear: "Even if we perish… so be it!"

Other disciples also nodded one after another.

"We fight the darkness without regard for the outcome!"

"We await the Dark World's arrival!"

In their hearts heavy with dread, they found not fear but renewed determination!

And on the side, the Big Black Dog mumbled to itself:

"Supreme in heaven and earth, yet still bound to this heaven; pinnacle of creation, confined within this universe… This emperor never said anything beyond the heavens or outside the cosmos…"

"To win, one must deceive—big lies, grandiose lies. After all, the master's true enemy… isn't that pitiful figure… Woof woof woof, this emperor must stop overthinking!"

The Big Black Dog suddenly shuddered, then hurriedly raised its leg to unleash its Great Divine Power.

"What the hell, dead mutt you… utterly shameless, peeing everywhere—have some virtue, will you?"

Wu Dade and the others expressed extreme disdain.

But the Big Black Dog scoffed and said:

"You human pet, what do you know? This emperor calls this concealing heavenly secrets!"

"My Great Divine Power can sever the karmic threads of heaven and shield against supreme perception…"

After finishing its business, it felt much more at ease—after all, even an omniscient, omnipresent entity would hesitate to gaze upon its "Great Divine Power"...

Looking sorrowful, its dog eyes betrayed a trace of grief:

"If the master can't win against the Quiet One… we'll wait for the Dark World to descend and escape as quickly as possible!!!!!"

...

Goodnight.
