Chapter 623: Chapter623-The Taste of Being Shrouded in Despair
"It must be Aurek sending his quasi-Empyrean Sanctum legion."
A colossal figure sneered coldly, trying to mask the unease gnawing at his heart.
"This emperor is really impatient... so eager to act?"
He felt neither fear nor surprise.
The Luminescent Circle was the ultimate defensive magic array, crafted by the ancient progenitors over eons as they comprehended the truth of life. Refined over countless millennia, it was strong enough to withstand a full strike from a quasi-eternal sage rank.
Boom—!
The tremors intensified suddenly!
The Luminescent Circle shook violently, its light flickering as though it could collapse at any moment.
"What... what is happening?!"
The assembly of ancient giants froze, their cold sneers hardening into fear.
The Elder Sovereign’s gaze darkened; he seemed to sense something horrific approaching.
He stepped forward, instantly arriving at the edge of the Luminescent Circle.
Before him, the defending supreme sage ranks, along with countless true Sage Masters and quasi-Empyrean Sanctum ancient progenitors, were all vomiting blood, their life force drained to the extreme!
Their radiant forms trembled violently, as if they could shatter at any moment.
Soon, every eternal sage rank had arrived beside him.
Together, they extended their mind power, probing into the chaos beyond the luminous land.
In an instant.
The Elder Sovereign’s pupils contracted to their limits!
For the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.
"This... this is impossible...!"
"By the gods—!"
The moment the ancient giants extended their mind power, their bodies trembled violently, their radiant forms nearly collapsing on the spot!
In the chaotic sea beyond The Luminous Land of Nasei, an overwhelming oppression spread in all directions.
Four hundred million supreme sage ranks floated silently in the void.
Their eyes were fixed on this luminous cosmos, formed from countless streams of starlight, as if the gods themselves were gazing upon ants.
There was nothing but light to be seen.
Yet every living being in The Luminous Land of Nasei felt an inexplicable fear, deep within their very souls.
A sense of impending doom! Heart racing!
Even the Elder Sovereign was no exception.
Though a quasi-eternal sage rank, he was utterly stunned.
His luminous form shook violently, like a flickering candle in the wind.
"Supreme sage rank... legion!"
"What madness is this?!"
He could sense it. Hundreds of millions of figures, each one a supreme sage rank!
Each and every one!
Suffocating despair filled him!
An unprecedented feeling of helplessness and impotence instantly consumed the quasi-eternal sage rank’s heart.
Who would believe this?
Who could imagine a quasi-eternal sage rank rendered utterly powerless, drowned in despair?
"A supreme sage rank legion! How is this possible?!"
"This is a demon’s legion... The Luminous Land of Nasei is finished!"
"Someone tell me this isn’t real! Please, it can’t be real!!"
"What kind of joke is this? Where did a Chaos Singularity even get a supreme sage rank legion?! How can Aurek wield such power? What... what kind of monster is he?!"
"Madness... why is even a supreme sage rank legion here?!"
"What are we supposed to do now?!"
...
The ancient giants completely collapsed.
They screamed and roared in hysteria, their minds a blank void.
All the strongest beings were driven into madness, reckless in every sense.
The scene before them was simply too much to comprehend.
At that moment, they were completely enveloped in despair.
Even those who had lived countless eons, whose minds had been tempered to perfection, could not endure this shock.
Hundreds of millions of supreme sage ranks appeared before them.
Even they succumbed to insanity.
Let alone the true Sage Masters and quasi-Empyrean Sanctum elites.
They felt their hearts go numb, collapsing helplessly to the ground.
A single supreme sage rank stationed in The Luminous Land of Nasei was already a top-tier presence.
The entire luminous nation had only ever harbored twenty or so supreme sage ranks.
Yet outside, in the chaotic sea, there were over four hundred million!
The difference... was tens of millions of times!
And this was only the gap in supreme sage ranks.
As for the ants beneath them...
"Fully activate the Luminescent Circle! Only then do we have a sliver of hope!"
Pain filled the Elder Sovereign’s eyes, like a trapped beast cornered.
He personally took command of the array, merging endless streams of life-light into the Luminescent Circle.
"True ancestors who govern the light, grant us the power to protect all things—!"
The ancient giants poured their strength into the array, holding nothing back.
"People of The Luminous Land of Nasei, raise your hands! I need your light!"
The Elder Sovereign’s voice echoed throughout the luminous nation, grand and magnificent, yet laced with a despair that could not be concealed—like the proclamation of the apocalypse.
In an instant—
Countless ancient progenitors lifted their hands.
Endless sources of light, Threads of Fate, traces of cosmic law... surged toward the Luminescent Circle like a tidal wave, forming an indestructible barrier of radiance.
...
Outside the Luminescent Circle.
Over two hundred million Doomsday Warriors struck simultaneously.
"Calamity of Fate!"
Over two hundred million bolts of cataclysmic fate thundered across the entire The Luminous Land of Nasei.
The lightning followed the Threads of Fate, spreading uncontrollably like electric currents racing along wires.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever Threads of Fate existed, the fate lightning followed, obliterating everything in its path.
Inside the Luminescent Circle.
Quasi-Empyrean Sanctum elites fell in droves.
Their radiant bodies shattered into nothingness under the fate lightning.
Even the ancient supreme sage ranks coughed sacred blood, struggling desperately.
But the fate lightning was endless, wave after wave consuming them... until all were utterly annihilated.
Boom—!
Immediately after, two hundred million Silent Extinction divine lights fell in unison.
The Luminescent Circle, which had been said capable of resisting quasi-eternal sage ranks, collapsed instantly!
Simultaneously, the Life Sorcerers struck!
They unleashed Life’s End and the Dirge of Death together.
Two ultimate killing forces tore into the very depths of The Luminous Land of Nasei.
"No—!"
The Elder Sovereign’s despairing roar reverberated through the shattered void.
In the next instant, The Luminous Land of Nasei was utterly razed!
All light vanished!
Only a yawning void remained, like a canvas erased by the gods.
Not a trace of life survived.
This was Life’s End.
The entire The Luminous Land of Nasei was obliterated beneath the infinite stars.
Not a ripple remained.
...
Aurek stood above it all, cold and detached, like a sovereign watching from on high.
The instant annihilation of a supreme cosmic force—it was that effortless.
Once power reaches a certain threshold, destruction and creation occur in the blink of an eye.
Everything was reduced to the simplest possible act—like crushing an anthill.
This was the might of Crossbridge’s supreme sage rank legion.
He was satisfied.
His gaze turned toward the deeper chaos, searching for his next prey.
...
Elsewhere.
The Sword-Sea Emperor had traversed many universes, convincing numerous quasi-eternal sage ranks to join him in a coalition to trap and kill Aurek.
"Next, it’s time for The Luminous Land of Nasei."
He calculated silently, a cold smile curling on his lips.
With Aurek’s offensive, that land would certainly be his next target.
He trusted that the Elder Sovereign would not refuse his proposal.
There was no need to venture further—he only needed to unite nearby quasi-eternal sage ranks.
After all, what Aurek possessed existed in only one copy.
If he delayed, the entire northern region—and perhaps even places like the Arcane Sea and Endless Starlight Isle—would be alerted.
By then, with so many strong forces involved, seizing that secret would be nearly impossible.
Better to act sooner than later.
The Sword-Sea Emperor transformed into a dazzling sword of light, tearing through the void, racing toward The Luminous Land of Nasei.
