Chapter 654: Chapter654-The First Clash with an Eternal Sage-Rank
Seeing everyone turn to flee without the slightest hesitation, Aurek let out a cold sneer.
In the next instant—
The more than four hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage-rank Doomsday Warriors moved as well.
The overwhelming army instantly surged out of the Standarin Universe.
Rumble—!
Within the endless Starlight Isle’s forces, hundreds of millions of Supreme Sage-ranks were cut down in swathes!
"No—! I don’t want to die!"
A quasi-Eternal Sage-rank was blasted apart, and his scream echoed through the Star Sea from within the River of Fate.
Immediately after, more shrill screams and unwilling roars rose one after another.
Of the more than six million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks, several hundred thousand had already fallen earlier.
And now, in this brief span alone, more than two million more were utterly annihilated!
The blood of Sage-ranks scattered across the void, blooming into crimson flowers!
"Ahhh—!"
The Guide was besieged by thousands of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks at once, and his miserable scream resounded across the Star Sea.
In a matter of moments, the Guide fell into final extinction! The Primeval Sage fell into final extinction! The God of Ancient Secrets fell into final extinction!
The Lord of Fate watched countless quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks exploding before his eyes, and his heart shuddered violently as he fled with all his might toward the endless Starlight Isle.
As long as he could rush back inside, he could escape the fate of death!
Artharion and the others no longer cared about anything else and frantically fled as fast as they could.
The entire tone of the battlefield changed in an instant—everyone was running for their lives.
"My heavens! What kind of monster is this Aurek?!"
All the experts of the endless Starlight Isle could not help but curse aloud.
They were not merely losing their minds—they were so terrified they felt as if they were hallucinating.
The situation had originally been overwhelmingly favorable. They had even felt victory was already within reach.
And yet, just when they were one final step away, they kicked the door open only to find hundreds of millions of quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks pouring out!
It was a colossal "surprise" delivered straight into their faces!
The more they fought, the more Aurek had.
The more they fought, the stronger he became!
How were they supposed to accept something like this?
...
The more than four hundred million Doomsday Warriors slaughtered their way forward.
At the same time, the Crossbridge Divine Court’s Supreme Sage-rank legions also came back to their senses and swiftly intercepted every expert trying to flee back to the endless Starlight Isle, working together with the Doomsday Warriors to kill them all one by one.
"No, this won’t work! If this goes on, we won’t escape either!"
The experts who had rushed back to the edge of the endless Starlight Isle saw the ten to twenty billion Crossbridge legions blocking their way, and despair drove them nearly mad.
...
"Your Majesty Aurek, I ask that you show them mercy and stain your hands with a little less blood."
At that moment—
A vast voice suddenly exploded across the Star Sea.
The River of Fate, formed from the convergence of all living beings throughout the endless Star Sea, abruptly spread open the instant that voice rang out.
Everyone could see the scenes within it: Artharion, King Zijing, the experts of the Sanctuary of Rebirth, even Alvin and the Blade Sea Saintess—all were reflected within its flow.
That voice carried the pressure of the Authority of Fate, as though every law and order of the Star Sea had been seized within its grasp and was now crushing down upon the battlefield all at once.
It was as if it were a silent warning to Aurek!
The River of Fate stretched across the heavens like the open palm of a god, blanketing the entire battlefield and suppressing all things beneath the weight of destiny itself.
At that same moment, above the firmament of reincarnation, a reincarnation sigil engraved with eternal mysteries quietly emerged.
In the depths of the Primordial River Cosmos and at the farthest end of the Beginningless Land, presences that had slumbered through who knew how many epochs were also beginning to awaken.
At the edge of the Chaos Star Domain, King Zijing jolted out of his shock and abruptly turned toward the endless Starlight Isle.
"So that rumor... was true after all!"
The moment he sensed that voice, his pupils—bright as stars—contracted sharply, and a rare trace of tension appeared on his face.
The ancient beings beside him, ones just as old as he was, revealed similar expressions.
And it was not only them—the Primordial Age, the Savage Era, the Ancient Epoch...
Countless taboo existences from innumerable epochs held their breath, their eyes locked firmly on the endless Starlight Isle.
Clearly, they were not ignorant of this matter.
Upon the Blade Sea Sanctum, a razor-sharp killing intent burst forth from Aurek’s eyes.
"Hmph!"
He gave a cold snort.
The River of Fate seemed to suffer an invisible heavy blow and suddenly churned violently like an enraged giant serpent.
"A creature that only dares hide in a corner."
"What gives you the right to ask me for mercy?"
"If you want to fight, then get out here."
"I’ll accompany you to the end."
Aurek stepped off the Blade Sea Sanctum and entered the battlefield.
The supreme imperial might pouring from him surged outward like a tide, spreading wildly in all directions.
It crushed and expelled every law and order, and firmly suppressed the River of Fate beneath his feet!
"Don’t mind it. Keep killing."
"Leave no one alive."
Aurek issued the order coldly to the Sacred Envoy rank.
Then he sent a warning toward the endless Starlight Isle:
"If you dare obstruct me..."
"Then the day I break open this endless Starlight Shield, I will make sure not a blade of grass survives upon the endless Starlight Isle!"
"You are welcome to try!"
Aurek understood perfectly well that this was a taboo existence that had surpassed the quasi-Eternal Sage-rank—an exalted being who had very likely already borne Heaven’s Mandate and stepped into the Eternal Sage-rank!
But he felt no fear whatsoever.
He had mastered Fate, Fortune, and the Dao of Kingship, and had long since approached the threshold of the Eternal Sage-rank.
With the fortune of the entire Divine Court gathered upon him, what of an Eternal Sage-rank?
Whoever dared act arrogantly before him was free to try.
The more than four hundred million Doomsday Warriors became reapers of death, slaughtering madly through the Star Sea.
Desperate cries and anguished wails echoed endlessly through the void.
The experts of the endless Starlight Isle watched quasi-Eternal Sage-rank after quasi-Eternal Sage-rank fall under siege, and fear spread among them like a plague.
The instant that legion of more than four hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks entered their sight—
Everyone froze in place as if struck by celestial thunder.
So that was why!
No wonder those mighty figures in their eyes had fled like dogs gone mad!
It turned out that behind them was a pack of man-eating demons!
...
Above the Arcane Godsea.
Within the Mirror of Omniscience.
Two old men, looking through the River of Fate, had already clearly seen every scene on the battlefield. They had also seen Aurek step into Chaos—and heard his warning.
Then they rose from beside the river.
So it turned out that the voice that had just resounded throughout the Star Sea had come from one of them.
The old man who had spoken fell silent for a moment, then reached one hand into the River of Fate.
That hand seemed capable of rewriting the trajectory of destiny itself as it struck down upon the battlefield.
But its target was not the Crossbridge Divine Court’s legions.
Instead, it tore open a narrow passage in one corner of the River of Fate.
In that instant, Artharion, the Flame Lord, the Frost Monarch, the Lord of Oblivion, and the other quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks seized this heaven-sent chance and swarmed into the passage like stray dogs fleeing for their lives.
And just as the Lord of Fate and the others were about to rush in as well—
Aurek unleashed the Hand of Fate!
Within the River of Fate, an ancient divine array-wheel slowly emerged and began to revolve, radiating a soul-shaking brilliance.
That divine wheel rapidly devoured the vast power of the River of Fate.
In the next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from within the wheel. Its five fingers curved like hooks as it seized the Lord of Fate and clenched violently.
"Ahhh—!"
With a shrill scream, the sovereign of the Court of Destiny was crushed to death just like that within the River of Fate.
Countless living beings personally witnessed that horrifying scene.
An unmatched emperor, a hegemon of an epoch—erased so casually?
Even the Saint Emperor of the Cycle of the Reincarnation Divine Court, the Hell Tyrant, and hidden powers such as the Stellar Saint-Emperor lurking in the depths of the universe could not conceal the terror on their faces.
