As a matter of fact, the shattering of the starry expanse by an Eternal Strike was not an exaggeration.

At this moment, far, far, far away, countless figures fell into silence.

Innumerable powerhouses, appearing in all corners of the universe, stood motionless, eyes widened as they stared toward the deepest reaches of the cosmos.

There, a silver-white torrent of energy continued to pour forth, transforming into an ancient, everlasting light that pierced through everything.

Even from dozens of galaxies away, it was clearly visible.

Its radiance was simply too terrifying.

However, what truly shook the Soul was the sight of a divine tree so colossal that it blotted out the Heavens standing resolutely within that silver-white brilliance.

Its body was being erased bit by bit, as though it were fading from existence.

Even though its branches regenerated endlessly…

Even though its trunk continued to reform…

It was still no match for that boundless torrent of energy.

After all, that was the Eternal Strike, a blow so fearsome it made even the starry expanse lose its color.

“Mas…ter…” A sudden cry rang out from the Milky Way Galaxy, as a seven-tailed Celestial Fox shot forth.

Her pupils shrank to pinpoints, as Nine Tails started dead straight toward the faint silhouette at the end of the cosmos.

Owing to the far distance, the silhouette was quite blurry; it was almost impossible to discern.

However, she recognized it instantly; that was her Master, the Demon Emperor.

And not long ago, he had gone to the Heavenly Court…

“Mas…ter…” A piercing heart-renching cry escaped her, as her aura skyrocketed as though it was set aflame.

And at this moment, it was not only her.

*Roooooar…* A Heaven-shaking Dragon Roar erupted, accompanied by streaks of black lightning crackling across the starry expanse.

A colossal Dragon wreathed in lightning burst forth, tearing through the void.

Its terrifying aura made even the stars tremble.

It was a Half-Step Hegemon.

Little Tenth, the Lightning Dragon, no longer hid himself and shot straight toward the corner of the cosmos.

And if one looked closely into his eyes, they would see dazzling lightning already condensing within them.

Rage, an unimaginable rage was burning in his eyes, and hidden beneath it was an inexplicable dread.

“If anything happens to my Master… I will wash your Heavenly Court in blood!” As his fury erupted, the black lightning tore through the Starry Sky itself.

However, this was still not the end.

For at this very moment…

*Hisssss…* A chilling hiss, as though rising from the depths of the netherworld, echoed from a corner of the cosmos.

Following the sound, one could see a ferocious giant serpent with eight heads.

“Damn the Heavenly Court! You actually dared to unleash the Eternal Strike!” Flames of fury engulfed his heart, and Slytherin’s expression changed drastically.

Others might not understand, but how could he, one who possessed an Eternal inheritance, not know?

Below Eternal, everyone was an ant.

In the face of an Eternal Strike, even someone as powerful as their Master could not possibly withstand it.

It was a terrifying force capable of piercing the boundary between reality and illusion, erasing even the very Soul itself.

Common methods like rebirth from a drop of blood, or teleportation, were all but useless before it…

…

At the same time, on Planet Celestus, Golden Ant, separated by tens of millions of galaxies, also sensed something amiss, and had his expression changing abruptly.

Even without seeing it, he could feel a wisp of utterly terrifying aura.

However, what made his heart tremble even more was the inexplicable fear, a true fear, rising within him.

He, who had never once known fear, even after countless battles, even when facing the prodigies of the Kun Peng Clan, was dreadful at this very moment.

“What’s…going on!?” He murmured softly, unable to calm his palpitating heart.

And just then, somebody suddenly shouted, “News has arrived from the Heavenly Oracle Clan. It is suspected that the Heavenly Court’s Imperial Artifact shattered itself to unleash an Eternal Strike… solely to annihilate the Demon Emperor.”

“What!?” A cry of shock burst forth as Golden Ant froze completely in place.

And in the very next instant, the entire Planet Celestus shuddered.

*Boooooom…* A sudden thunderous roar echoed across the skies, causing even the peerless prodigies of the Kun Peng Clan to shrink their pupils in alarm.

From afar, one could see a blood-red radiance suddenly shooting straight into the Heavens from a corner of Planet Celestus.

And along with it, the land itself began to sink, as a colossal creator, 10,000 kilometers wide, appeared in an instant.

That streak of blood-red light had stamped an unbelievable pit directly into Planet Celestus.

How terrifying was that?

It should be brought to notice that Planet Celestus was a place where Spiritual Energy was incredibly concentrated round the year. And thus, its land was incomparably solid.

Even a Tier-6 Overlord would find it difficult to put a dent on it.

However, now, a single step had carved out a crater 10.000 kilometers wide.

“Looks like the Demon Court has undergone a Heaven-shaking upheaval.” Heaving a soft sigh, even the peerless prodigy of the Kun Peng Clan fell into rare silence.

As a matter of fact, he shared a certain karmic bond with the Demon Court. If things truly came to push, he would have to make a move as well.

After all, he was a member of the Kun Peng Clan. And the Kun Peng Clan was, in a sense, itself a branch descended from the Ancient Heavenly Court.

And what, then, was the Demon Court of today?

From what the Kun Peng Clan had gathered, the current Demon Court was none other than a world-shaking lineage inherited across countless generations from the Ancient Heavenly Court.

And that was precisely why the Demon Court had always been so mysterious.

Because tracing it back to its source, it was one of the most terrifying and powerful inheritances known to the entire universe.

…

In fact, it was indeed a great upheaval.

The entire cosmos was thrown into shock, because the Heavenly Court, a terrifying lineage in its own right, was risking its own destruction to unleash an Eternal Strike, all for the sake of annihilating the Demon Emperor.

This piece of news, thanks to the Heavenly Oracle Clan, spread in an instant to forces large and small alike, plunging all Races into uproar.

The Demon Emperor was the hope of the Myriad Races in their resistance against the Void.

And yet now…

“The Heavenly Court truly seeks its own destruction.” Ni Shang’s voice was cold as ice, and but her eyes were a different story, wide and alight with a fury that couldn’t quite mask the flickering worry underneath.

“Heaven…ly…Court…” A faint murmur equally escaped Dream Dragon, as she lifted her gaze, staring coldly toward a far end of the cosmos.

She existed within the crevices of dimensions; she was everywhere yet nowhere.

And so now, when she focused her sight, she clearly saw that colossal tree, which had blotted out the entire sky, relentlessly ground away under the silver-white explosion. It seemed as though it was on the verge of vanishing altogether.

“Your legend hasn’t even truly begun… is it already coming to an end!?” A soft sigh escaped her lips, and a trace of pity surfaced in Dream Dragon’s eyes.

However, at that very moment, what she failed to notice was wisp after wisp of silver-white Spiritual Energy slowly diffusing throughout the cosmos.

“Time as the medium, space as the conduit…We’re the bearer of Time and Space, We carry time and space within us…” Murmured words echoed from within the silver-white torrent.

And along with it, a power both profound and unfathomable began to flow endlessly.
