Chapter 523: Chapter523-The Star Sea’s Landscape- Styx Sector
This time, he had unexpectedly obtained two special hero units.
The Cursefont Star God had a human face and a serpent’s body—its physique towering and majestic. In its eyes seemed to dwell the stars of the cosmos themselves, and around it coiled a primordial aura of origin.
The Eternal Sunfire War God was a warrior entirely shrouded in sacred flames, with a vast expanse of the Star Sea suspended above his head.
In its eyes, solar sacred fire soared, its presence terrifying beyond measure.
Aurek had already advanced to Sage Master, Level Nine, yet the aura of these two special hero units still made him feel an immense threat—one could easily imagine their power.
He knew that the more attributes a unit could encompass, the stronger a special hero would become, but he had not expected these two war gods to possess nearly every attribute.
With that level of amplification, slaying a true Sage Master should be well within reach.
As for whether they could contend with a quasi–Empyrean Sanctum... that still required verification.
...
Styx Sector.
This was the star region where the Primordial Sword City, the Star Sea Giant Ape Clan, and the Seraphim lived.
In addition, there was a branch hall of the Starfont Divine Court, and a branch of the Primordial Creation God Clan also dwelled here.
Boom!
At that moment, an armored giant—billions of meters tall—stepped into Styx Sector, a blood-red battle axe in hand, sweeping its gaze across the reaches of the Star Sea...
...
Eastern Star Region Forbidden Zone.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened.
In an instant, boundless sword intent dyed the vast Star Sea.
Deep within the Styx Great Star Abyss.
A sleeping giant ape shifted its body, and the resulting torrent of Starlight instantly swallowed huge swathes of star territory.
Golden radiance bloomed across the endless nebulae.
In that moment, terrifying existences across countless worlds in this region were awakened, their mind power casting outward toward several forbidden zones.
"What in the world happened... to alarm those few?"
In one world, an old man with emerald crystal leaves growing from his head frowned.
You had to understand—hidden within the great star abyss, that Star Sea giant ape had entered the late stage of true Sage Lord rank millions of years ago, and was now striding toward the quasi–Empyrean Sanctum realm.
The master of Sword City in the Eastern Star Region Forbidden Zone, and that ancient existence within the nebula... both were also charging toward quasi–Empyrean Sanctum.
What could possibly disturb them?
Had the Starfont Divine Court and the Reincarnation Divine Court already begun full-scale war?
An ancient sovereign crossed a world gate and arrived before the old man, reporting respectfully.
"Ancestor! A force called the Crossbridge Empire is sweeping through surrounding worlds. It has already conquered several star regions, and now its spearhead has reached the borders of Styx Sector!"
"Crossbridge Empire—what kind of power is that?" the old man asked, puzzled.
"They come from the eastern star regions. Their strength is not weak. They have six or seven Sage Masters and dozens of ancient sovereigns."
"Clashes have already erupted on the outskirts of Styx Sector, only the news hasn’t fully spread yet."
The ancient sovereign answered.
"Tsk... to think the eastern star regions could produce such a force," the old man murmured. "It may well be a subordinate power of one of the Divine Courts..."
"And now that the Divine Court war has begun, even our place here may be dragged into it."
...
"How many ages have passed, for someone to dare lay hands on this star region? Thomas—shouldn’t your Starfont Divine Court step in and handle it?"
From the Eastern Star Region Forbidden Zone, a vast voice pierced the world barrier and entered Styx Sector.
A magnificent holy temple manifested within the rules.
Inside that world, Thomas, the hall master of the Starfont Divine Court’s branch, stared through the depths of the Star Sea, his brows tightly knit.
The existences in the other two forbidden zones didn’t speak, but their gazes also fell upon this holy temple.
"This matter... the Starfont Divine Court will intervene."
Thomas responded.
Facing those few giants, even he had to act with caution.
First, because the Starfont Divine Court was recruiting troops. Styx Sector’s Primordial Sword City, Star Sea Giant Ape Clan, and the Seraphim provided enormous manpower—an essential foundation for winning the war.
Second, because those few giants were already close to the quasi–Empyrean Sanctum realm. Once they glimpsed the River of Fate, even the Divine Court could not ignore their existence.
...
Seraphim Territory.
Endless divine temples floated beneath the Star Sea’s dome.
The central palace was rooted halfway in a world, and halfway connected to the Star Sea.
"This Crossbridge Empire that suddenly popped up—have you found out their background? Are they a chess piece of the Reincarnation Divine Court?"
Inside the hall, the current clan leader Aurelius asked.
"For now, we only know they came from the eastern star regions. They’ve destroyed many worlds, and according to refugees who fled into Styx Sector, their strength is terrifying!"
"Just their Sacred Radiance–rank legions number around one hundred million, and there is no shortage of Sage King–rank powerhouses."
An ancient Sage Lord of the holy-wing clan reported.
"What?! That many Divine Radiants?!"
"The eastern star regions also have Starfont Divine Court overseeing them—how could they allow such a thing to happen?"
A Sage Master asked.
"The Divine Court’s supervisory agency over there has been eradicated," the ancient Sage Lord replied.
"What?!"
"You’ve got to be kidding!"
Several cries of shock rang out in the hall.
"This Crossbridge Empire actually dares destroy the Divine Court’s forces?!"
"That’s practically declaring war on the Starfont Divine Court! What kind of lunatic force is this Crossbridge Empire to be so arrogant?!"
One Sage Master said heavily.
"Let’s see how Thomas handles it first," Clan Leader Aurelius said after a moment’s thought.
One hundred million Divine Radiant legions, trying to break into Styx Sector?
That was nothing but courting death.
They had no intention of taking action themselves—they would leave it to the Starfont Divine Court, the adjudicator of order.
In the Celestial Light God Realm, the Starfont Divine Court could stand above all powers. But in Styx Sector, it wasn’t like that.
This place was more like a recruitment stronghold. In many matters, the Starfont Divine Court actually needed the cooperation of the sector’s various forces!
Just then—
A streak of light shot in from a world gate, turning into a sealed war letter that hung beneath the Star Sea’s canopy.
With a flicker of mind power, Aurelius and the Sage Masters in the hall immediately caught it.
A hand of rules crossed endless void and brought the letter into the hall.
Aurelius glanced at it, then let out a cold snort.
The Sage Masters around him also saw the words inside:
Submit, or be destroyed!
"Ridiculous," a Sage Master shook his head.
"The fires of war in the central cosmos have already been lit. They’ll spread here soon enough. Everyone should prepare early."
Clan Leader Aurelius was disdainful. Holy flame rose in his palm, turning the war letter to ash.
No one would care about such meaningless provocation—unless it came from the Divine Court itself.
...
Aside from the Seraphim, the Star Sea Giant Ape Clan, the Primordial Sword City, and other forces received the same war letters.
The news quickly spread across Styx Sector.
"This Crossbridge Empire is truly a frog in a well. Do they really think Styx Sector is some remote eastern backwater?"
"If they truly anger the top three clans, their home world would be erased from the star map."
"Their strength isn’t weak, but it’s not enough to make the top three clans act personally. Besides, Starfont Divine Court will likely step in and settle it."
"This nameless force isn’t worth mentioning. What I’ve heard is that the central cosmos has already gone to war—if the flames spread here, that will be real terror."
Compared with the Divine Court war, this arrogant invasion by the Crossbridge Empire felt more like an insignificant interlude.
Most powerhouses of Styx Sector treated it as a joke.
...
In the eastern star regions, beyond the Celestial Light God Realm.
A world gate spanning the universe burst open, swallowing billions upon billions of miles of Star Sea and spiraling into a boundless Star Sea vortex.
From within the vortex emerged a magnificent sky-vessel at the level of an Artifact of Authority, crossing the void toward the Starlight Colonnade.
And at the other end of the Star Sea...
A Star Sea storm, stretching billions upon billions of meters, also rose in rolling waves, surging toward the Celestial Light God Realm.
