Chapter 626: Chapter626-Making Aurek Impossible to Escape
The gathered powerhouses finalized their plans.
The supreme sage ranks under each sage rank, along with elite forces drawn from surrounding universes, began flooding into the Sword Universe.
Besides the likes of the Senllo Universe and the city of Rock, even previously defeated powers such as Alexander, Lord of the Sword Sea, were quietly lying in wait outside the universe.
Boom—!
A deafening roar tore through the Star Sea.
Supreme sage ranks surged into the Sword Universe like a tidal wave, crashing against the Crossbridge Legion’s defensive lines, advancing relentlessly toward the Sword Sea core.
The violent aftershocks rippled through the boundless Star Sea, causing the stars themselves to tremble.
Inside the core of the Sword Sea, Mylen and the other supreme sage ranks sensed the war flaring at the universe’s edges. Their expressions darkened.
"As expected... the Sword-Sea Emperor has allied with the surrounding universes and struck."
Kevin turned his gaze toward the depths of the Sword Sea.
Suggwoth and other generals were already urgently mobilizing their legions.
...
Sword Sea Core.
Aurek stood leaning on his sword, his eyes sweeping across all directions as if surveying mere ants. Behind him, the Crusader Goddess, Eternal Blazing Sun, Cursefont Star God, and Alvin stood like statues.
The malice emanating from the edge of the universe was entirely under his control.
"Suggwoth commands the Sword Universe. You four immediately mobilize your legions toward the Senllo Universe, the city of Rock, the Stanford clan, the Sanctuary of Rebirth, the Forbidden Lands, the Apocalypse Universe... If the masters of those powers dare set foot on my territory, they shall have their nests turned upside down."
Aurek’s voice was measured, carrying an authority that brooked no argument.
According to Alvin’s calculations, if the Sword-Sea Emperor truly dared to unite with the sage ranks...
It would play right into Aurek’s hands.
With the supreme sage ranks absent, those so-called inheritance powers and the Divine Court were nothing but lambs awaiting slaughter.
"Isn’t this too risky?"
Alvin’s face revealed worry. "If those ancient sage ranks unite, the pressure on the Sword Universe—"
Aurek raised a hand, cutting off Alvin’s words.
The Eternal Blazing Sun, Cursefont Star God, and Crusader Goddess all bowed in obedience.
Alvin fell silent as well, lowering his head and stepping back half a pace, daring not to speak further.
Aurek stood atop the sacred platform floating in the Star Sea, his robes billowing in the stellar wind, resembling a God King overlooking all life.
His gaze fell upon the edge of the starfield, as if watching a trivial spectacle.
"Without those sage ranks stationed here, who can stop my legions?"
After a long moment, Aurek withdrew his gaze, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.
"I will give you six hundred million supreme sage ranks.
Move quietly—do not alert anyone."
Boom—!
Alvin’s mind shook violently. He suddenly looked up at that towering figure, almost unable to believe his ears.
He thought he had misheard. In those ancient eyes, astonishment had solidified into substance.
Six... six hundred million!?
Supreme sage ranks!
Was he hallucinating?
"As you wish!"
The Eternal Blazing Sun and the others responded in unison.
Aurek flicked his sleeve, signaling them to withdraw.
Adding the forces already at their disposal, the Crossbridge Divine Court now commanded sixteen hundred million supreme sage ranks. Everything was already in place!
Alvin was completely stunned, dazed, and obediently saluted before retreating.
Suggwoth’s army of thirty billion quasi-supreme sage ranks charged the battlefield head-on.
Following orders, the Dragon Emperor swept through like a mountain-shattering, ocean-ripping force, crushing the Star Sea under his might.
The aura was so overwhelming that even the Hell Tyrant and the Saint Emperor of the Cycle shrank back, their pupils constricting in sheer terror.
Everyone’s eyes widened, faces etched with disbelief.
They all recognized Suggwoth.
The Dark Keep Warlord had even fought him multiple times and knew him better than anyone.
Yet now, watching the man command hundreds of billions of quasi-supreme sage ranks, he felt a wave of absurdity.
The Saint Emperor of the Cycle clenched his fists, fear barely hidden in his expression.
After a long moment, he squeezed out a single sentence through gritted teeth:
"This is impossible..."
Hundreds of billions of quasi-supreme sage ranks...
The aura alone was terrifying beyond measure!
Even across the infinite Star Sea, a chill ran down his spine.
All of this... was Aurek’s army!?
The rumors... were no lie at all.
"This world has truly gone mad!"
"I used to think the Crossbridge Divine Court was all talk... I never expected it to be real. Aurek is a monster! No wonder so many quasi-eternal sage ranks emerged at once."
"By the gods! Who could possibly withstand this?"
"I’m leaving first—anyone else wants to die, go ahead!"
...
The moment the thirty billion quasi-supreme sage ranks appeared, the hidden observers were frightened out of their wits.
All the powerhouses tasked with luring out the Crossbridge Legion scattered in panic, fleeing faster than anyone else.
"Incredible... truly awe-inspiring."
Even the Rock sage ranks couldn’t help but exclaim. "Aurek is an unprecedented genius."
In just five or six years, he had reached this stage. Any adjective felt like an insult to his achievements.
But it also revealed just how astonishing Aurek’s secret truly was.
"Then don’t blame me for being ruthless, Aurek!"
The Rock sage ranks thought to themselves.
"Let’s strike."
The others remained silent.
From the moment the thirty billion quasi-supreme sage ranks and the Dragon Emperor appeared, their gaze burned with intensity.
In their eyes, Aurek was already prime prey.
Eleven Star-realm gates opened simultaneously.
The Sword-Sea Emperor, as both the ruler of the Sword Universe and master of its destiny line, arrived instantly in the Sword Sea core.
And he appeared directly inside the core!
Back when the core of the Sword Sea was constructed, the Sword-Sea Emperor had connected the Star-realm gate to the core.
As a former master of this place, comings and goings were instinctive.
Sword Sea Core, atop the sacred platform.
The former Sword Sea saintess—the fiancée of David, heir of the Sword Sea core—knelt before Aurek on both knees, holding a golden cup of wine filled from a fine jug.
Aurek lifted the cup, his gaze turning toward the eleven who had stepped through the Star-realm gates.
The instant the eleven figures landed, the Sword Sea core was sealed, even the fluctuations of the destiny line frozen.
Everything was perfectly secured!
They wanted to make Aurek impossible to escape.
Yet...
The moment the eleven mind powers locked onto him, every pair of eyes slightly tightened.
Aurek showed no reaction to their arrival whatsoever.
He leisurely enjoyed the saintess’s service, sipping the core’s fine wine, his expression calm as if entertaining distant guests.
"Lord Aurek, you have remarkable composure."
"To face us so calmly... this grace is admirable."
The eleven quasi-eternal sage ranks were no fools; unease began to stir in their hearts.
As they spoke, they probed the Fate River with their mind power, attempting to discern his intentions.
"Stop searching."
Aurek’s imperial voice rang out, calm and serene.
"Since I invited you here, I will naturally make things clear."
"Enough talk!"
The Sword-Sea Emperor, impatient, was ready to act.
As the others cautiously probed, he had already drawn out three hundred thirty-three Cursed Swords.
A killing intent of the utmost ferocity radiated from them, making even the kneeling Sword Sea saintess tremble slightly.
She knew these Cursed Swords all too well!
Just as the Sword-Sea Emperor prepared to strike, the other strong powers suddenly froze.
They seemed to sense something, a trace of horror flashing through their eyes.
They finally understood why Aurek could remain so unflinching.
In an instant, inside and outside the Sword Sea core, one billion supreme sage ranks appeared, now fully exposed to the scrutiny of the quasi-eternal sage ranks.
