Beerus's fist, radiating silver light, swung out without hesitation.
Lin Chuan clenched both fists, crossing them in front of himself to guard.
'BOOM~~~!!!!!!'
The might of this punch was terrifying to the extreme, as though the entire World of Void was about to be torn apart.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Chuan was sent flying an unknown distance.
"Hiss~!" Feeling the sharp pain coming from both arms, Lin Chuan bared his teeth and sucked in a cold breath.
However, this level of pain quickly transformed into pleasure, making Lin Chuan's battle intent grow even stronger.
Naturally, Beerus did not know this. He shouted loudly and closed in again, that fist containing boundless destructive power smashing down once more.
At the critical moment, Lin Chuan used Spatial Jump in time, avoiding this attack.
'BOOM!!!!!!!' A loud explosion rang out, and the space where Lin Chuan had just been was blown apart by Beerus's punch.
Countless spatial fragments scattered everywhere. Beerus's sharp gaze quickly locked onto Lin Chuan's position.
Likewise using the Law of Space, his speed in jumping through space was clearly faster, beginning a new round of pursuit against Lin Chuan.
Two streams of aurora shuttled and collided through the World of Void at unimaginable speed, their aftershocks shaking all directions and spreading to every corner of the World of Void.
Beerus, after bringing out his specialty, was incredibly powerful. Even without perfect Ultra Instinct, the battle power he erupted with was terrifying to the extreme. Every move and strike carried world-destroying might.
In just a few seconds, Lin Chuan felt an unprecedented immense pressure, leaving him unable to breathe and causing his entire body to tremble.
This was only the beginning!
Beerus intended to crush Lin Chuan in one breath!
"Laws are not something only you can use, so… Spatial Lock!!!" Beerus spread both hands, and his fierce Divine Power sealed all the space around Lin Chuan, preventing Lin Chuan from escaping with the Law of Space.
This was not over. With a thought, Beerus condensed overwhelming deep-purple Destruction Bullets, surrounding Lin Chuan from every angle.
"This god wants to see how you dodge this time!!" The instant his words fell, Beerus drove all the deep-purple Destruction Bullets with his will, attacking Lin Chuan from different directions.
"I won't keep dodging forever." Lin Chuan knew he could no longer avoid it, so he simply stopped dodging.
If he did not reveal his true ability now, he would have no chance.
[Body and Mind Ultimate, Free in Attack and Defense!]
In an instant, Lin Chuan's form changed. His pupils and hair color transformed into silver-white, and his Divine Power transformed from deep blue into silver-white.
His form transformed into Super Saiyan Blue Third Stage God's Ultimate Ultra Instinct Pinnacle State!
A hundredfold battle power amplification, reaching a value of 2000 Jian!
"What?! You brat actually..." Beerus instantly felt that things were bad.
At this moment, all of Lin Chuan's movements became impossible to predict. Facing this saturation bombing of Destruction Bullets, he could still respond with ease.
Every movement was fast to the extreme, and every movement was without the slightest drag.
Countless Destruction Bullets were detonated one after another. Within the explosive flames, Lin Chuan's evasive footwork was incomparably elegant, without the slightest flaw.
This kind of dodging movement, and this kind of precision, could not be wrong!
"Perfect Ultra Instinct!!!" Beerus's mind shook as he spoke in disbelief.
One had to know that even he, because of cultivating God of Destruction Power, had been unable to perfectly master Ultra Instinct.
Yet this Saiyan before him, only thirty or forty years old, had actually done it!
Whis's high evaluation of Lin Chuan truly had a reason!
Originally, he still somewhat did not believe it. Now it seemed this brat might truly be able to rival him at full power.
'WHOOSH~~!!!' A sound tore through the air.
A white aurora, fast to the extreme, charged out from the explosive flames and brushed past Beerus.
Relying on his imperfect Ultra Instinct, Beerus fortunately dodged this strike, but though he dodged it, he had not completely dodged it.
On the right side of Beerus's face, a tiny wound appeared, and purple God of Destruction blood flowed from the wound, even if it was only a single drop.
Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Beerus raised his hand to wipe it. Looking at the bloodstain on his thumb, his heart grew even heavier, and he turned around with a cold expression.
Within his line of sight, Lin Chuan's entire body radiated sacred and inviolable silver-white divine light.
The terror of his Divine Power, compared to Beerus, was no less, and even somewhat greater.
"How does it feel? Beerus." Lin Chuan casually turned around, his face brimming with a smile of absolute confidence.
"You have indeed brought this god an unexpected surprise! However..." Beerus spoke in a low voice. In an instant, the wound on his face was healed by Divine Power. His aura drew back inward, gathered power, then erupted as he continued, "Even if you reached it, there is still a difference between man and true god! Let this god test exactly how well you have mastered this Divine Technique!"
"That's exactly what I want! Let's continue fighting!" Lin Chuan's battle intent was drawn out. Gathering power, he erupted and attacked first.
'BOOM!!!!!!'
Divine Might was boundless, destroying heaven and earth.
The instant they collided, the World of Void was stirred by their power.
The contest of Ultra Instinct between Lin Chuan and Beerus had begun.
A hearty, all-out, intense battle beyond words.
Their reactions were fast to the extreme. After every attack and defense, they could counterattack each other with incomparably sharp precision.
The battlefield continuously shifted, and Lin Chuan and Beerus had both entered a selfless battle state.
They abandoned the use of Law Powers, and they also abandoned every kind of opportunistic trick. Relying on the speed erupted from pure physical power alone, they far surpassed spatial jumps.
The power fed back from their bodily collisions impacted their bodies and souls.
Their blood surged. They threw all distracting thoughts behind them, becoming completely selfless and devoting their entire bodies and minds into battle.
At this moment, whether Lin Chuan or Beerus, both were sublimating through this battle.
The changes in their techniques, their mastery of Ultra Instinct, and the sublimation of power were all displayed to the fullest at this moment.
This scene was seen by the Gods of Destruction, Angels, Zeno, the Grand Priest, and the two Zeno Guards of the eleven universes.
How fierce was this battle, how shocking to the heart!
In the past dozens of eras, such an intense and frenzied battle had never erupted.
Beerus and Lin Chuan, one was the strongest God of Destruction, having surpassed God of Destruction level!
The other was the strongest among modern humans.
No one could predict how this battle between god and man would end.
Therefore, all gods and Angels were looking forward to it.
The Gods of Destruction of the eleven universes all clenched their fists, unwilling in their hearts yet forced to admit it.
A battle of this level was something they could not achieve.
The twelve Angels were fully focused on this battle. Although they had experienced countless cycles and lived for countless years, battles of this level were also extremely rare.
"So dazzling! So intense! So passionate!! So interesting!!!" Zeno watched this battle, stars shining in his eyes as he waved his hands and feet excitedly.
Not long afterward, he turned toward the Grand Priest again and said cheerfully, "Grand Priest, who exactly is that mortal who can fight Beerus? He's amazing. I really like him."
"Reporting to Lord Zeno, that person's name is Lin Chuan, and he can also be called Talos. He is a Saiyan from the Seventh Universe." The Grand Priest answered seriously.
"Lin Chuan, Talos..." Zeno pondered for a moment and recorded the name in his mind.
Being remembered by Zeno was already a supreme honor.
Immediately afterward, he continued focusing his attention on the battle in the World of Void.
The two guards beside Zeno also seemed to be influenced at this moment, observing this high-level battle that had not been seen for who knew how many eras.
Although in their eyes, a battle of this level was still no different from children playing house, it could at least pass some time.
...
Within the World of Void.
The battle between Lin Chuan and Beerus entered a white-hot stage.
The contest between both sides' Ultra Instinct had still not determined victory or defeat. Although Lin Chuan had the advantage in speed and reaction, completely suppressing Beerus was still not quite possible.
'BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!...' The speed of their bodily collisions continuously increased.
The mutual impact of power caused the injuries on both of them to continuously increase.
However, these injuries not only failed to make them restrain themselves, but instead further stimulated their bloodlust.
Pain transformed into pleasure, causing the two to attack selflessly, completely abandoning defense. You punch me, I punch you. They exchanged injury for injury without the slightest avoidance.
'BANG!!!' Lin Chuan's Ultimate Hardening: Spatial Quake struck Beerus directly in the chest.
'BOOM!!!' Beerus's super-heavy strike, brewing ultimate God of Destruction Power, likewise struck Lin Chuan's chest.
The instant their power erupted, the two were simultaneously blasted to opposite ends of the World of Void.
Beerus and Lin Chuan stabilized their bodies in time. Without stopping to rest, they locked onto each other's position again and at the same time jumped through space to attack once more.
Destructive strikes filled with all their strength blasted out.
'BOOM~~!!!!!!' Amid a thunderous roar, the destructive light from their Divine Power collision expanded, devouring Lin Chuan and Beerus, and even the entire World of Void!
...
Time passed second by second.
Only after a full half minute did this dazzling destructive light finally disperse.
The chaos of the World of Void had already been completely scattered. Within that space, an extremely long spatial crack stretched beyond sight, reaching directly to the end of the World of Void.
Lin Chuan and Beerus maintained punching postures, their fists colliding, Divine Power still clashing and stirring countless bolts of Divine Power lightning that whipped through space.
With one strike, victory and defeat remained undecided. The two also tacitly pulled apart again.
"Huff... huff... huff..." Beerus panted heavily, his body already baptized by sweat and blood.
"Ha... ha... ha..." Lin Chuan was also breathing heavily, the surging pleasure of blood and Ki within his body making him unable to stop.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you bastard could actually bring this god such pressure." Beerus wiped away the drool at the corner of his mouth, infected by Lin Chuan's battle intent. The injuries on his body were also ignored by him.
"What a battle that makes me unable to stop. It has been a long time since I fought this satisfyingly. Law of Life, Heal!" After Lin Chuan sighed emotionally, his mind moved and the Law of Life was used.
As the words fell, vast life force surged from within Lin Chuan's body. Divine Power transformed into law, and a powerful spring of life erupted from within him.
In the blink of an eye, all injuries caused by his battle with Beerus vanished. His entire body regained vitality and returned to peak condition.
Looking at Lin Chuan, who had returned to perfect condition, Beerus widened his eyes, completely stunned.
Law of Life!
Cheating!
Pure cheating!!
"Huu~! This feels much better. Come, continue!!!" Lin Chuan let out a long breath, moving his limbs with a faint smile on his face.
"Law of Time, Law of Space, Law of Destruction, Law of Devouring Seizure, and now the Law of Life you just used. Five different Law Powers actually appear in one person. Just how many secrets are still hidden on you, bastard?!" Beerus curled his lips, his mood extremely displeased.
He, this God of Destruction, had been completely compared down.
In the battle just now, he had only brought out his specialty, though he was still far from using his full strength.
But judging from the current situation, this brat Lin Chuan clearly had not either.
So the situation was not optimistic. Lin Chuan, who mastered five Law Powers, was not easy to deal with.
If he did not bring out his full strength, he might truly capsize in the gutter.
"Beerus, let's end the mutual testing here. The so-called true power of a God of Destruction should be brought out now! You are more than this too, right?" Lin Chuan's eyes flashed with cold light as he asked directly.
"Hmph!! You discovered it, brat?" Beerus placed both hands behind his back and straightened his back.
Every word and action showed arrogance and dominance.
The two looked at each other again. Thousands of words were understood through a single exchange of eyes.
"The warm-up is indeed about done. Speaking of it, even this god has forgotten when the last time was that I used full power." Beerus fell into recollection, and the light of Ultra Instinct around him dispersed on its own.
Beerus returned to his normal state. His aura was far inferior to before, but within his body, a God of Destruction Power that had slept for countless years was awakening little by little.
Sensing this gradually reviving God of Destruction Power, Lin Chuan's expression became serious, not daring to relax in the slightest.
'BUZZ~!!!!!!'
Deep purple God of Destruction light erupted from within Beerus, and boundless God of Destruction Might filled the entire World of Void.
It tore apart the space of the World of Void and even affected the world outside the World of Void.
Beerus's power advanced by leaps and bounds, his God of Destruction Power explosively growing.
Continuously breaking through: the middle stage of the Eleventh Dimension, late stage, peak, ultimate!
Until finally... reaching the Twelfth Dimension!
Through the data provided by the system, Lin Chuan could clearly see Beerus's battle power at this moment had reached 10 Zheng!
This strength was fully ten times stronger than when he used Ultra Instinct just now!
No, it was more than ten times!
The gap between the Eleventh Dimension and Twelfth Dimension could not be simply measured by multiples.
"Before creation comes destruction!!!" Beerus spread both hands, pure God of Destruction Power flowing around him. The injuries from his previous battle with Lin Chuan were also completely repaired because of this heaven-defying Divine Power eruption.
