Chapter 457: Chapter457-Will Even a Sage Lord Bleed?
"I can’t peer into it!"
"This anomaly of his is not an anomaly within the grand momentum of the Abyss Demon Realm—he is an anomaly beneath the entirety of the Starry Chaos!"
"I... I was wrong. I was wrong, wrong!"
Within the Council of the Dark Order, the ancient stargazer was seized by terror and shock, muttering to himself.
An anomaly of the Starry Chaos was a variable beyond the rules—a true taboo.
How could such a being be someone he was capable of peering into or deducing?
Earlier, he had mistakenly believed that Aurek was merely an anomaly within the overall trend of the Abyss Demon Realm. That was why he had dared to defy the heavens and reverse fate, laying down the Star Reversal Magic Circle.
Had he known the truth from the beginning, he would never have made any struggle at all.
Puh!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura collapsing in an instant.
His hair turned gray at a visible speed.
The astrologers beside him also suffered backlash, one after another becoming listless and weakened.
Aurek was the anomaly itself—his fate was untouchable.
Those below the Sage Lord rank simply had no right to glimpse him.
...
Boom—!
Bang!
High above the firmament.
The Dark Sage Lord and the others grew more and more alarmed as the battle raged on.
One Sage Lord, four quasi–Sage Lords, plus the World Relic, the Ouros Disc...
And yet Aurek was able to confront them head-on with his own strength alone!
He clearly had not advanced into the Sage Lord realm, yet his combat power surpassed that of a Sage Lord!
His methods also transcended common sense, bordering on the forbidden.
What in the world was going on?!
Could even a Sage Lord joined with a World Relic fail to suppress his edge?!
Damn it!
The Dark Sage Lord felt utterly stifled.
Though he was a newly advanced Sage Lord, he was still a being of the Sage Lord realm. Within the Starry Chaos, he was considered a formidable power in his own right.
He had been born for millions of years and had roamed the boundless starry skies.
And Aurek—what was he?
How old was he, really?
It was said he was only in his twenties!
The farthest place he had probably ever traveled to was this Abyss Demon Realm!
And yet he could be this strong...
Was this truly power that a normal living being could possess?
At that thought, even as a Sage Lord, his scalp tingled with fear.
James’s mental state was even closer to collapse.
He had believed that with a Sage Lord presiding, they could crush all powerful enemies and effortlessly eliminate the threat of the Crossbridge Empire.
Yet this emperor, whose growth spanned merely three years, had single-handedly rewritten the entire course of the war!
Unprecedented!
If they failed to kill him today, the Council of the Dark Order would have no path to survival left.
He frantically mobilized the fortune of the Council, unleashing attacks that bordered on madness.
"If this is all you have..."
Aurek coldly uttered a single sentence.
"...then this war should come to an end."
That sentence, however, was more terrifying than any devastating attack. It slammed heavily into the hearts of the Dark Sage Lord and the others.
That’s all you’ve got? Arrogant!
The Dark Sage Lord erupted in fury.
He fully drove the World Relic, while his Sage Lord divine body instantly expanded to tens of millions of meters, like a god striding out of the starry sky.
In one hand, he lifted the Ouros Disc, which transformed into a vast sea of stars. Behind him, the orderly divine radiance that only a Sage Lord could command connected to his back, suppressing all surrounding laws.
Even the three quasi–Sage Lords and James found it difficult to integrate their力量 into this region dominated by the Sage Lord’s might!
Aurek once again unleashed Mirror Saint Arrival.
Using spatial attributes and light–shadow attributes, he silently bypassed the frontal confrontation.
At the same time, he gripped the golden sword.
The Myriad Judgment Domain was fully unleashed!
A colossal imperial Conqueror, billions of meters tall and still expanding, manifested within the starry sky.
Its overwhelming presence completely crushed the Sage Lord divine body of the Dark Sage Lord!
In the Conqueror’s hands rested a nascent form of the Starry Chaos.
It continuously drew upon the origin of the star sea and chaotic energy, then smashed ferociously toward the Dark Sage Lord.
The Dark Sage Lord snorted coldly and activated the Ouros Disc to block.
At the same time, behind him, a boundless devouring abyss manifested—like a true abyss, lunging toward Aurek.
The Conqueror transformed, producing tens of millions of hands, one after another, hurling the star-sea worlds in its grasp in relentless succession.
These nascent worlds detonated as they slammed into the devouring abyss.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The abyss could withstand the impact of one world. Ten were still manageable.
But after forcibly enduring the chained bombardment of thousands upon thousands of worlds, it finally collapsed and disintegrated.
The Ouros Disc and the Sage Lord divine body were also smashed into the boundless star sea, crushing countless stars along the way.
With the Dark Sage Lord and the Ouros Disc no longer restraining him, Aurek’s mirrored incarnation quietly appeared at the flank of the three quasi–Sage Lords.
With a single move, the Thousand Sword Judgment Domain erupted—and the imperial seal of the Empire was simultaneously invoked to suppress them.
"Ah—!"
The three quasi–Sage Lords caught within the thousand-sword domain let out shrill screams.
Their powerful divine bodies were savagely shredded by unmatched sword qi, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Even James was swept up by the residual sword energy, relying solely on his Artifact of Authority armor to barely hold on.
Aurek’s true body blinked into place.
With a single slash!
The three quasi–Sage Lords were instantly cleaved into dust. As the thousand-sword domain contracted, they were utterly annihilated within it.
With a thunderous crash, the star sea trembled as James was blasted away by the violent energy.
"Aurek—!"
"Die!"
The Dark Sage Lord crossed back from the far end of the star sea.
Seeing the three quasi–Sage Lords brutally slain, his fury knew no bounds.
The Sage Lord divine body lifted the Ouros Disc and smashed it down toward Aurek.
Aurek blocked with the golden sword while manipulating the thousand-sword domain, slashing the severely wounded James down from the firmament with a single strike, completely crippling him.
At the same time, he unleashed the Myriad Judgment Domain, using an unending barrage of world impacts to resist the savage strikes of the Ouros Disc.
He also quietly circulated the Soul Law.
And condensed Burning Soul Fire!
This was the true trump card that gave Aurek the confidence to challenge a Sage Lord wielding a World Relic!
Possessing one of the strongest elemental attributes—space—while also wielding light–shadow attributes and soul attributes; his rank reaching quasi–Sage Lord; and bolstered by the vast national fortune of the Empire...
It could be said that beneath the Sage Master realm, he was truly without equal!
Amid the gaps between violent collisions, Aurek silently borrowed the soul power of the Demon Realm, forming formless Burning Soul Fire around the Dark Sage Lord.
The Burning Soul Fire surged soundlessly into the interior of the Sage Lord divine body.
"Hiss—!"
The Dark Sage Lord’s entire body convulsed violently as he sucked in a sharp breath.
Unbelievable terror exploded within his pupils.
"A soul attack?!"
"He actually commands the Soul Law?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"How can anyone in this world master such a forbidden power?!"
He was utterly horrified.
He hurriedly mobilized the orderly divine radiance, attempting to block the erosion and destruction of his consciousness and soul by the Burning Soul Fire.
However, it was precisely this brief distraction—
Aurek had already raised the golden sword and severed the energy connection between the Sage Lord divine body and the Ouros Disc with a single slash.
Immediately after, a solidified nascent world smashed fiercely into the Sage Lord divine body, blasting it apart in an instant!
The Dark Sage Lord fell from the heavens, bleeding profusely!
Threads of Sage Lord blood, containing terrifying energy, pierced through the earth like weapons of annihilation, destroying countless lives.
In certain places, they even gave rise to strange holy lands, where plants underwent astonishing transformations after being stained by the sacred blood.
All living beings of the Abyss Demon Realm—
including White Lady and Scarlet Witch Antoine from the Crossbridge Empire’s side—fell into a stunned silence.
A Sage Lord...
Had bled?!
Boom!
The residual mind power of the three annihilated quasi–Sage Lords merged into the boundless star sea and the world itself, attempting to reconstitute divine bodies by drawing upon the world’s origin.
From the very start of the great battle, they had already prepared for the worst.
Aurek was not surprised by this.
Even Divine Oracles were extremely difficult to kill—
let alone quasi–Sage Lords.
However, the strength of their reconstructed bodies would be greatly diminished, and the mind power they had lost would be difficult to replenish, making prolonged combat unsustainable.
At worst, he would simply kill them again.
Once. Twice. Three times...
Eventually, he would grind them down completely and erase them forever!
