Chapter 649: Chapter649-The Unending Lament of the Great Universe
Aurek listened in silence.
He had already vaguely begun to sense just how powerful an Eternal Sage-rank truly was.
His current strength was already infinitely close to that level, and his rank was continuing to deepen and settle under the deductions of fate, fortune, and the Imperial Path.
But what he truly needed right now was not to break the Endless Starlight Shield—
it was Emperor Points.
Endless Starlight Isle had gathered together the most powerful forces in the entire Star Sea universe.
Those who dared to strike at him, those who dared to stand in the way of his path—even if he slew only a portion of them, it would be enough to help him ascend to the Eternal Sage rank.
And once that time came, dealing with the Endless Starlight Shield would become far easier.
With Alvin and the others directing the overall strategy at the front, Aurek did not interfere much.
He devoted all his energy to his ascension, using the Time Warlock to construct a temporal acceleration field, burning through all resources and Emperor Points in full.
His power transformed again and again, condensed again and again, until it reached a certain critical threshold.
As the national fortune of the Crossbridge Divine Court continued to rise, its providence became increasingly terrifying, and this in turn had an enormous effect on his own fate.
Fate was like the portion allotted to every living being—each person occupied a share of it. The strong held a greater share, enough to influence the destinies of those whose shares were smaller.
Aurek was one of them.
Yet by accumulating providence, he could strengthen his own share and expand it without limit.
Until one day, his every word and action would come to embody fate itself, determining the life and death of all living beings.
Now, he was drawing ever closer to the rank of a Heaven-Mandate Eternal Sage.
At the same time, he was also nurturing new summoned troop types day and night without pause.
Until eight days later—
...
Rumble—!
An utterly horrifying aura descended from the far end of the universe.
Aurek’s dimensional vision surfaced on its own, an invisible wall of light expanding outward in rippling waves.
His mind power instantly locked onto the Sea of Chaos at the northern edge of Endless Starlight Isle.
There, a world-shaking slaughter had already battered the void into collapse and ruin.
Ripples spread across the Endless Starlight Shield like waves upon water.
And outside the shield, more than one million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and several billion Supreme Sage-ranks had surged forth from Endless Starlight Isle.
In the north of Endless Starlight Isle,
Artharion, the Lord of Oblivion, the Primordial Sage, the Guide, the Flame Lord, and other powerful beings led three million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and five billion Supreme Sage-ranks, standing within the Sea of Chaos under the cover of the Endless Starlight Shield.
The endless chaos storms and source power seemed to be drawn away by some invisible hand, condensing around them into layer upon layer of terrifying barriers that completely concealed their auras.
And yet through those barriers, they could clearly observe every movement beyond the Sea of Chaos.
Eight days had passed.
The Fated Monarch had already led two million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and five billion Supreme Sage-ranks in a wide detour and was about to arrive near the Sanctuary of Rebirth.
That meant the killing trap they had so carefully laid was finally taking shape.
The gathered experts held their breath in anticipation.
Meanwhile, the God of Old Mysteries directly led one and a half million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and 3.1 billion Supreme Sage-ranks, charging straight toward the Crossbridge legions that were attacking the edge of the Starlight Shield.
The 1.5 million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks surged forth like a tide, forming an indestructible wall and forcibly smashing into the Crossbridge battle formation.
The might of the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks erupted like volcanoes. One starfield after another was torn to pieces, chaos was beaten into nothingness, and swathes of imperial troops were annihilated amid destruction.
"Let these wretches witness the power of our Endless Starlight Isle—!"
The 3.1 billion Supreme Sage-ranks pounced forward like a flood.
Within the boundless Sea of Chaos, the two forces collided like universe-scale torrents, like a gigantic meat grinder. One Supreme Sage-rank after another fell within it.
The lament of the great universe’s will over the deaths of Supreme Sage-ranks spread ceaselessly through the endless starfields, until even the Sea of Chaos surrounding Endless Starlight Isle was dyed blood-red.
Those mourning cries echoed through one hegemonic force after another like the tolling of funeral bells.
Boom!
The Doomsday Warriors unleashed the divine radiance of Silent Extinction, Chaotic Destruction, and Fate Cataclysm, forcefully covering the 1.5 million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks of Endless Starlight Isle.
The power of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks was simply too terrifying—they posed the greatest destruction to the Crossbridge legions.
While the Doomsday Warriors held them off, the Beastbound Warriors transformed into forms such as the Dragon Emperor and the Blazing Sun Divine Bird, directly charging into the 3.1 billion Supreme Sage-ranks of Endless Starlight Isle.
One star after another fell from the heavens. Fragments of Supreme Sage-rank flesh and blood splattered through the void, while shrill and despairing screams rang endlessly across the battlefield.
Watching the battle at all times, Overthunder frowned deeply and ordered the Void Warlocks,
"Assist the Curseweavers in killing the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks!"
"As you command!"
More than a billion Void Warlocks stepped onto the battlefield, sealing off layer after layer of cosmic space.
As long as space existed, it lay within their control.
Space Reconstruction was unleashed, and one quasi-Eternal Sage-rank after another on the battlefield was forcibly transferred into the encirclement zone of the Curseweavers.
The Curseweavers immediately cast Fate Bloom, driving it into the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks’ Fate Rivers.
One black flower after another bloomed within the Fate River, spreading rapidly like ink, gnawing away at and devouring the Threads of Fate of the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks.
"Pfft! My power!!"
"This is bad—it’s the power of curses!"
One quasi-Eternal Sage-rank after another was seized by terror, using every means available to resist the erosion of the curse while frantically bombarding the Curseweaver legions.
"Ahhh—No!"
A howl of unwilling rage rang out as one quasi-Eternal Sage-rank melted like black water from head to toe.
Soon after, the other quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks who had been transferred into the cursed zone also perished one after another beneath the curse.
"Kill these Curseweavers first!"
The God of Old Mysteries felt a suffocating chill in his heart as he roared at all the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks.
He drew out an Origin Relic and, with a single strike, blasted through the imprisoned chaos-space, sending that terrifying force directly into the cursed legions.
The other quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks resisted the Doomsday Warriors even as they seized the chance to charge over—but they were firmly pinned down by the Void Warlocks.
Bang!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
The brutal slaughter only grew more intense!
Even beings as powerful as Supreme Sage-ranks were as fragile as ants in a battlefield of flesh and blood like this!
Watching this universe-destroying war, the three million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and five billion Supreme Sage-ranks standing within Endless Starlight Isle were all visibly shaken.
The living beings across the various starfields of Endless Starlight Isle, along with the experts of the hegemonic powers, all held their breath, utterly unable to imagine such a horrific scene before their eyes.
Compared with this moment, the war in which the Rivera demon race of the Primordial River Cosmos had attacked Endless Starlight Isle back then was hardly worth mentioning!
The Lord of the Heavens, the Envoy of Desolation, the Sage of Cycles, the Primordial Sage, the Seeker of Nihility, and the other peerless geniuses observing the battle all felt their minds turn cold and heavy.
What lay before them had far, far exceeded their original imagination.
...
"It seems we underestimated them by a wide margin."
The Guide’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Artharion stared at the battlefield and said in a deep voice, "Have you noticed?"
"The methods used by these legions are all strikingly similar, as though they were reflections cast from the same mirror."
"Indeed. Some wield absolute control over space, some can strip away the source of life, some employ curses, some transform into giant beasts, some command time, and some wield the power of destruction..."
The Flame Lord listed them one by one.
"Should we make our move?"
one quasi-Eternal Sage-rank asked.
Artharion shook his head. "Wait a little longer."
"Observe their methods carefully. Only then, when we truly act, will we know how to guard against them."
The gathered experts all felt this made perfect sense.
Only by fully understanding the enemy’s trump cards and finding their weaknesses could they restrain them—and annihilate them completely.
