Chapter 223: The Dragon Gate and the Chaotic Era Divine King Body

The Dragon Gate and the Chaotic Era Divine King Body

Victor’s eyes carried a faint hint of curiosity.

Even he wanted to know what it felt like to cross the Dragon Gate and truly become a dragon.

The thought alone was enough to stir something deep inside him.

But there was another reward waiting for him.

And compared to the Dragon Gate, this reward demanded far more of his attention.

The greatest reward he had obtained that day.

The Chaotic Era Divine King Body.

A supreme Divine Body capable of devouring all forms of power and using that power to strengthen itself.

Victor stared at it for a moment.

There was no hesitation in his eyes.

He immediately activated his Primordial Infinity Physique.

The moment its power awakened, the surrounding space trembled.

Victor focused his mind.

Then he issued a single command.

Devour.

He directed the Primordial Infinity Physique toward the Chaotic Era Divine King Body.

RUMBLE—!!

The heavens shook.

A terrifying pressure erupted from Victor’s body.

For one brief moment, it felt as though Victor himself had transformed into a boundless sea of chaos.

The world around him began to distort.

The clouds above him twisted first.

Then the sunlight.

Even the earth beneath his feet seemed to tremble under the invisible force.

The spiritual energy surrounding Sovereign Peak was pulled toward Victor from every direction.

It poured into him like an endless river.

Devoured.

Refined.

Absorbed.

Then transformed into nourishment for his body.

Victor stood completely still throughout the process.

His expression remained calm.

Only his slightly narrowed eyes revealed that he was paying close attention to every change taking place within him.

Then he felt it.

The sheer scale of the Chaotic Era Divine King Body.

Victor’s pupils contracted slightly.

"Absurd..."

The word escaped his lips in a quiet murmur.

He had expected the Divine Body to be powerful.

He had not expected it to be this monstrous.

Its ability to absorb power was far beyond what he had imagined.

If he completely unleashed its potential, the consequences would be terrifying.

Victor could almost imagine it.

An entire blessed land being drained of its spiritual energy.

Mountains becoming barren.

Rivers losing their vitality.

The spiritual veins beneath the earth drying up one after another.

The entire Sovereign Blessed Land could potentially become a dead zone.

Just from Victor absorbing its power.

The thought made even him feel slightly uneasy.

But that wasn’t what truly caught his attention.

Its combat potential was far more frightening.

During battle, the Chaotic Era Divine King Body could absorb the power contained within an enemy’s attacks.

Victor didn’t necessarily have to destroy an attack head-on.

He could endure it.

Then seize the power contained within it.

Refine that power.

And eventually turn it against the very person who had attacked him.

Victor’s eyes slowly brightened.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying the possibilities became.

Then another thought crossed his mind.

The Ultimate Freedom Art.

A technique that became stronger through battle.

The longer and more intense the fight, the more it could evolve.

Now combine that with the Chaotic Era Divine King Body.

Victor’s lips curled into a faint smile.

The synergy was almost perfect.

One could endure.

One could evolve.

And the Divine Body could devour.

The stronger his opponent became, the greater the potential nourishment Victor could obtain from the battle.

Of course, there were limits.

At least for now.

Victor understood that perfectly.

Having such an ability didn’t mean he could casually absorb anything thrown at him.

His body still needed to withstand the power first.

But if he could do that...

The possibilities were frightening.

Victor closed his eyes again.

There was no point thinking about battle before he had completely refined the Divine Body.

For the next three days, Sovereign Peak remained completely silent.

Victor stayed there alone.

He devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

Every trace of power he had obtained was carefully refined.

The Chaotic Era Divine King Body gradually merged with his existing foundation.

His Primordial Infinity Physique continued to circulate.

Layer after layer of energy was broken down.

Purified.

Then absorbed into the deepest parts of his body.

The process was slow.

It was also incredibly demanding.

But Victor didn’t rush it.

He knew better than anyone that a foundation built too quickly could become unstable.

So he took his time.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Victor finally opened his eyes, a brilliant golden light flashed through them.

For a brief moment, the surrounding space seemed to tremble.

Then everything returned to normal.

Victor slowly rose to his feet.

The morning wind swept across the peak.

It tugged at his black robe and sent his long black hair drifting behind him.

The golden dragon embroidered across his robe shimmered beneath the sunlight.

For a moment, the embroidered dragon almost seemed alive.

Victor stood at the highest point of Sovereign Peak.

He looked toward the distant horizon.

His golden eyes narrowed slightly.

There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips.

"By my reckoning..."

He paused.

His gaze remained fixed on the horizon.

"They should be arriving at the Brightwell family about now."

--------------------

Everdawn Domain...

"Vine Family— Liam Vine, paying respects to the Prodigy Banquet!"

"Northern Desert Saint Sect— Ethan, arriving at the Brightwell Family for the Prodigy Banquet!"

"Pride Moon Heavenly Gate— bringing disciples to observe the ceremony!"

One proclamation after another rolled across the sky.

The voices were loud enough to shake the clouds.

Far beyond the distant mountains, enormous airships slowly emerged from the horizon.

Their shadows stretched across the earth as they sailed through the clouds.

Some of the ships had been carved from ancient spiritual wood. Their surfaces were covered with intricate patterns that glowed faintly beneath the sunlight.

Others were forged entirely from divine metal.

Their enormous hulls reflected the light like mountains of silver.

A few were even surrounded by powerful formations.

Those formations distorted the surrounding air, making the ships appear almost unreal as they approached.

The guests had begun arriving.
