Chapter 653: Chapter653-Sending His Majesty Aurek to His Doom?
Another three days passed!
The outer reaches of the Standarin Universe had been thrown into utter chaos.
Within the Standarin Universe itself, the Divine Court’s force of over ten billion Supreme Sage-ranks had lost more than two billion.
The endless Starlight Isle had likewise lost more than two billion Supreme Sage-ranks, while even its quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks had suffered losses numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
The price paid by both sides could only be described as catastrophic.
However—
Artharion and the others had finally broken through layer after layer of blockade and drawn close to the Blade Sea Sanctum.
At this moment, every quasi-Eternal Sage-rank was doing everything in their power to hold back the Crossbridge Divine Court’s legions, buying time for Artharion and the others.
Rumble—!
The Lord of Fate descended first into the Sea of Chaos outside the Blade Sea Sanctum.
His mind power clearly sensed Aurek’s presence.
Artharion, the God of Ancient Secrets, the guild president, the Primeval Sage, the Frost Emperor, the Guide, the Flame Lord, the Lord of Oblivion, and the other experts followed close behind, each drawing nearer in turn.
Behind them, several hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks had Aurek locked down with absolute focus!
They all knew perfectly well how unfathomable Aurek was, and every one of them was filled with dread.
That was why, even against Aurek alone, they needed several hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks before they had enough confidence to bring him down.
Suggwoth and the others had also sensed the situation within the Standarin Universe and were rushing back at top speed.
“Finally… after this war has been fought to such a degree, they’ve finally managed to break in!”
The two quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and numerous Sage-ranks who had arrived from the Sanctuary of Rebirth sensed it as well.
“The Crossbridge Divine Court’s legions are retreating toward the Standarin Universe. Artharion and the others must have broken through—they’ve already become a threat to Aurek.”
The Rockmount Sage-rank had also seen the shift in the situation.
The Crimson Moon Priestess said nothing, merely watching the changing battlefield.
If Aurek were killed, this Star Sea crisis would end with him.
As for Alexander and the others who had fled to the endless Starlight Isle, they all let out sighs of relief even as they waited with bated breath.
Only when Aurek died would the nightmare in their hearts truly disappear!
“They paid such a terrible price, but it was all worth it.”
An ancient taboo being of the Primordial Age murmured to himself.
“Only with the destruction of the Crossbridge Divine Court can the endless Starlight Isle continue to survive.”
“No matter the cost, it had to be done. And if Aurek dies, it will be a good thing for everyone.”
“But the secret of eternity hidden within him…”
A quasi-Eternal Sage-rank beside him frowned and offered a reminder.
“Who that thing ultimately falls to will depend on whether they can first take down Aurek.”
That ancient taboo being understood very well that the true cause behind the outbreak of this war was the secret hidden within Aurek.
Especially after witnessing the utterly heaven-defying and indescribable powers on Aurek’s person, no one could suppress the greed rising in their hearts.
Even they themselves were no exception to that greed!
Still, now was not yet the time for them to step in.
The ancient taboo being looked toward the direction of Chaos Originpoint, a thoughtful glint flickering in his aged eyes.
…
“My King! If the people of the endless Starlight Isle bring Aurek’s secret back with them, then with the protection of the Starlight Shield, I fear we’ll never have another chance. Shouldn’t we enter the battlefield now?”
A Chaos Giant was growing anxious.
King Zijing fell silent for a moment before ultimately shaking his head.
“Wait a little longer. Let them uncover that secret first before we move!”
…
“Your Majesty Aurek, there’s nowhere left for you to hide!”
In the Sea of Chaos outside the Blade Sea Sanctum, the Flame Lord gave a faint smile.
But his appearance was wretched in the extreme. His entire body was drenched in blood, and half of his holy body had already collapsed.
The other experts were hardly in any better shape.
Still, it was all worth it!
“Aurek, hand over the secret on your person of your own accord. If you do, we may still consider sparing your life.”
“Of course, if you still believe you can triumph over all of us, then we are more than willing to accompany you to the end.”
The Guide went straight to the point.
One hand resting on his sword, Aurek swept his gaze across the several hundred thousand pairs of eyes fixed upon him.
Every single one burned with undisguised greed.
And yet even at this moment, Aurek remained as unmoving as a mountain, his heart utterly undisturbed.
He had already opened star domains to incubate all of his summoned troops—including the Level 26 Doomsday Warriors!
Aurek’s brows knit ever so slightly.
That subtle motion was clearly caught by Artharion and the others.
Boom—!
The Lord of Fate let out a cold snort. What pointless nonsense they were spouting!
Who would willingly hand over such an unimaginable secret?
If it were him, no one would get it without fighting to the bitter end.
“There’s no need to say any more. Otherwise, people will only think the men of the endless Starlight Isle are childish and ridiculous!”
“With that time, we might as well send His Majesty Aurek on his way first!”
With a sharp shout, he stepped forward.
The other experts understood at once and moved in unison.
And at that very moment—
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
An incomparable pressure crushed the entire star domain into collapse in an instant.
That all-encompassing pressure spread outward like an endless tide, permeating billions upon billions of star domains.
More than four hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage-rank Doomsday Warriors emerged from the void.
Standing within the Sea of Chaos, they completely ignored the gathered experts right before them. Instead, they first bowed reverently toward Aurek.
And the Lord of Fate—who had just taken a step forward to strike—froze where he stood.
Artharion and the other experts, together with those several hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks, all stiffened in the same instant.
They turned to look at that boundless sea of figures, and their minds went utterly blank.
Every one of them stood petrified, as if turned to stone.
Even the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and Supreme Sage-ranks still fighting within the Standarin Universe were completely dumbfounded.
This sudden change shattered the sanity of countless experts.
The war had gone on for so long that they had already grown used to the Crossbridge Divine Court adding more than a billion Supreme Sage-rank soldiers every single day.
But now it had suddenly produced several hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!?
Quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!
Using six million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks to contend against armies of several hundred billion Supreme Sage-ranks had already been troublesome enough.
But now Aurek had brought out several hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks.
Several hundred million!
“By the God of Reincarnation… quasi-Eternal… Sage-ranks!”
The experts of the Sanctuary of Rebirth felt their scalps go numb, unable to even force out a complete sentence.
Boom—!
At Chaos Originpoint, the Chaos Giant King Zijing—who had been watching the battle without pause—suddenly widened his eyes until they were perfectly round.
The star-domain world reflected in his pupils exploded with a deafening crash, erupting in dazzling light.
“They’re all quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!”
“He can actually cultivate a legion of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!!!”
“How is that even possible… how in the world did he do it…”
“That is absolutely impossible—this has already completely exceeded the limits of the Grand Cosmos’s will!”
…
“Damn it!”
The Lord of Fate could not help but curse aloud, no longer caring in the slightest about maintaining his imperial bearing.
The instant his awareness returned, he fled madly toward the outside of the Standarin Universe.
And once he ran—
The other experts all reacted as well and instinctively fled after him.
Quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks, Supreme Sage-ranks… countless experts of the endless Starlight Isle transformed into streaks of aurora as they fled in panic!
