Chapter 485: Void Transfer
The Grand Priest was clearly shocked when Uchiha Dali split into so many clones at once.
Of course, it wasn't the simple fact that there were clones—what surprised him was that every single one of them radiated a level of power that made even him feel threatened.
"I didn't expect him to have an ability like this…"
"Impressive."
He thought silently, then subconsciously glanced toward Uchiha Dali's true body.
What he saw made him frown.
Uchiha Dali wasn't even watching the battle.
Instead, he was still practicing.
Practicing the exact sealing technique the Grand Priest used earlier to redirect the Eight Thousand Divine Sky Strikes.
"…There's no way he can actually learn it, right?"
For the first time, unease crept into the Grand Priest's heart.
But seeing the focus in Dali's expression, he couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps the impossible might actually happen.
And his instincts were right.
At that very moment, Uchiha Dali had fully activated his Heaven-defying Comprehension.
As he continued repeating the technique, a stream of information suddenly surged into his mind.
At the same time, a system prompt echoed in his ears:
[You have repeatedly practiced the unique sacred technique: Void Transfer. Your comprehension has reached the maximum level. You have fully mastered the sacred technique: Void Transfer!]
[Your Heaven-defying Comprehension has reached its final use limit and will now deactivate. Your status has been confirmed—you are now a Supreme God.]
[Sacred Unique Skill — Void Transfer: Opens a spatial wormhole linking to a faraway void. It can redirect all attacks or designated targets—including the user—either to a chosen destination or a random location.]
...
Hearing the message, Uchiha Dali blinked in surprise.
First, he hadn't expected the Grand Priest's technique to be redirection rather than absorption.
He originally thought the Grand Priest erased his attack—but in reality, the attack had simply been teleported far away.
It was no different in essence from Flying Thunder God, Kamui, or Yomotsu Hirasaka—just an exceptionally refined form of space-time manipulation.
The only difference was the Grand Priest's absolute precision in timing.
No wonder he misunderstood.
"No wonder… even I can't fully absorb that kind of attack."
"So it was transfer, not absorption."
Everything made sense now.
That void beyond space was an empty and chaotic expanse.
No matter how destructive Eight Thousand Divine Sky Strikes was, it could not damage what did not exist.
That technique was practically invincible.
Second, his Heaven-defying Comprehension was now gone.
Because—by system judgment—he had already grown to the absolute limit.
A being equal in rank to Zeno.
A true Supreme Entity.
"Losing the ability now is reasonable. I've reached the end of growth."
"The only pity… is that I can't directly absorb all of the Grand Priest's power."
"If I could, defeating Zeno and his two guards would be effortless…"
With that thought, he slowly turned his gaze toward the Grand Priest—who, as expected, had been watching him closely.
"You still have time to worry about me?"
"Bad news is already coming."
Dali spoke with a faint, playful smile.
And the moment his words fell—his dozens of clones launched their assault.
Every one of them moved with the same power and speed as the Grand Priest.
Dozens of equal-level beings attacking at once—no one could come out unscathed.
The Grand Priest immediately entered the most dangerous exchange he had ever experienced.
In mere moments, he was forced into constant defense, surrounded, pressured, attacked from every angle.
But—he was not just anyone.
He was the Grand Priest.
Even under overwhelming pressure, he remained calm and refined, unleashing everything he had cultivated over countless eons.
Sometimes he used pure physical combat, clashing with dozens simultaneously.
Other times he rapidly deployed Void Transfer, relocating massive waves of energy attacks into the endless void outside existence.
Despite being repeatedly struck, every time he retaliated, at least one or two clones were forced back.
Neither side could overwhelm the other completely.
The only difference was efficiency.
Whenever the Grand Priest landed a single blow, he would receive at least a dozen in return.
With both sides matched in rank and ability, the fight became a battle of stamina, endurance, and durability.
A war of attrition.
Uchiha Dali still didn't move.
He intended to preserve his full strength.
After defeating the Grand Priest, there were still Zeno's two bodyguards—and Zeno himself.
Their power was immeasurable, and no one knew how chaotic the upcoming battles would become.
Besides—
For now, there was no need for him to act.
The clones were enough.
At least until—
Suddenly, every one of his clones vanished.
Uchiha Dali paused.
His brows lifted slightly as he stared at the Grand Priest.
The Grand Priest was slightly short of breath, yet still maintained his elegant, composed demeanor—calm, steady, as if untouched.
He exhaled quietly and spoke:
"…A difficult battle indeed."
"I see."
Uchiha Dali immediately understood.
The Grand Priest was still a true, living supreme being.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Dali's clones—despite their power—were still temporary manifestations.
They could only exist for roughly half an hour.
Unless they grew into full, independent beings, their energy consumption determined their lifespan.
The more energy burned—the shorter the time they could remain.
In a battle of this level, their power evaporated rapidly.
Half an hour became minutes.
Minutes became seconds.
And once the threshold was crossed—the clones disappeared.
"As expected… a shortcut won't defeat someone like the Grand Priest."
"Come out—Unit One."
Dali murmured.
This time, he didn't summon ordinary clones.
He used the Multi-Creation Technique—and brought forth a single existence.
A clone identical to him in every way—not temporary, but a true living entity born from cultivation.
The one he had long prepared.
His first perfected true body duplicate.
Unit One.
