Chapter 178: When the Patriarch Descended!!!

When the Patriarch Descended!!!

There was no warning.

No grand buildup.

No divine proclamation.

One moment, the Devastator beast was roaring.

The next—

BOOM!!

The colossal palm descended.

The heavens shook.

The battlefield phantom shattered.

The Devastator beast, which had carried the terrifying Law of War, was crushed beneath that single hand.

Its enormous body collapsed into countless fragments of light before disappearing completely.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

Even the raging wind seemed to stop.

Then, a voice—cold and indifferent—rang out:

"To lay a hand on my clan’s prodigies?"

"Who gave you the courage?!"

The Falling Goose Lunar Saint’s pupils contracted.

His breath stopped.

Before he could even react, an overwhelming force seized him.

His body was lifted into the air.

A towering figure stood before him.

One hand gripped his throat.

The man’s fingers tightened around his neck with effortless strength, lifting the Lunar Saint completely off the ground.

The figure was dressed in a black robe adorned with golden dragon embroidery.

Long, shoulder-length black hair flowed freely around his face.

His golden eyes were calm.

Too calm.

There was not even a trace of strain in them.

His handsome features seemed almost unreal beneath the cold light of the battlefield.

This was Victor.

Patriarch of the Salvatore family.

The sheer pressure radiating from his body made the Lunar Saint’s heart tremble.

All of his pride.

All of his years of cultivation.

All of his mastery over the Law of War.

At this moment, they felt like toys in the hands of a child.

All laws.

All techniques.

All resistance.

None could touch the man standing before him.

The Lunar Saint desperately tried to circulate his power.

The Law of War erupted around his body.

But Victor merely raised his free hand.

A casual wave.

That was all.

The surging law power instantly extinguished.

It disappeared as though it had never existed.

"Who are you..."

Despair filled the Lunar Saint’s eyes.

He had never imagined that such a small empire could hide so many terrifying dangers.

He had thought this was merely a remote corner of the world.

A place where he could act without restraint.

Instead, he had walked directly into a predator’s territory.

Victor’s golden eyes narrowed slightly.

"Heh... an ant like you dares to ask my name?"

Victor laughed coldly.

His fingers tightened.

The Lunar Saint’s face immediately turned red.

Every inch of Victor’s skin seemed to carry mysterious traces of the Great Laws of World.

They were not visible at first glance.

But the closer one looked, the more terrifying they became.

Weak laws couldn’t even touch him.

They simply collapsed before reaching his body.

"Patriarch!!"

Austin’s eyes lit up.

The relief that rushed through him was almost overwhelming.

His shoulders loosened.

For the first time since the battle began, he could breathe properly.

Victor had arrived.

That meant everything was different.

Nux, too, finally felt the terrifying pressure binding his body disappear.

He staggered slightly before regaining his balance.

His red eyes looked toward Victor with undisguised respect.

Only Damien looked awkward.

He stood there with his hand still half-raised.

His carefully prepared sacrifice had been interrupted.

His grand final moment had been ruined before it even began.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh.

His Eternal Tribulation Sword was still trembling inside his dantian.

"Patriarch? You’re Victor..."

The Lunar Saint stared at him in disbelief.

He had never imagined that the terrifying man before him was the Salvatore family Patriarch.

Such terrifying power.

Such unfathomable true essence.

And this was Stellar Sovereign?!

His mind went blank.

This was supposed to be a Stellar Sovereign?

No.

This was close to the Solar Eclipse Realm!

The Falling Goose Lunar Saint was a Lunar Sovereign Fifth Level expert.

Yet before Victor, he was like a child.

Completely helpless.

The difference was not merely one realm.

It was a gulf.

A chasm that ordinary cultivators could never cross.

What the Lunar Saint didn’t know was that although Victor was only at Stellar Sovereign Great Perfection in terms of realm—

His path was completely different.

Through the Forbidden Art: Ninefold Reversal of the Zenith, Victor had reshaped his realm.

He had forged an entirely new path.

Stars paved the way.

The Great Laws of World entered his body.

Every step he took had been tempered and rebuilt.

Ordinary Lunar Sovereign experts were helpless before him.

Victor’s gaze remained cold.

He looked at the struggling Lunar Saint without the slightest ripple in his expression.

"Victor!! I have already received an invitation from the Greamory family—I am about to become their Supplicant!"

The Lunar Saint’s voice became frantic.

"I have already received their Supplicant Token!"

His fingers desperately clawed at Victor’s wrist.

"Are you trying to provoke the Greamory family?!"

He roared.

Hearing this, Victor smiled faintly.

"The Greamory family?"

The question was almost casual.

Seeing Victor’s expression, the Lunar Saint immediately saw a glimmer of hope.

He hurriedly continued.

"Yes! The Greamory family!"

His voice became faster.

"Descendants of the ancient gods! One of the strongest families in the Heavenly Flamefrost Empire!"

"Countless experts within their ranks!"

"I have already received their Supplicant Token!"

"If you kill me—"

He never finished.

The next moment—

RUSH—!!

Space shattered like foam.

Everything around them was annihilated.

The Absolute Destruction Art descended.

There was no violent struggle.

No prolonged battle.

The Lunar Saint simply disappeared.

His body.

His aura.

His law power.

Everything ceased to exist.

"If I want to kill you, even the gods and Buddhas themselves cannot save you..."

Victor’s indifferent voice was the last thing he ever heard.
