Chapter 1431: A Reforged Ascendancy Halo! I

The Ascendancy Halo gave terrific boosts, but the Flames of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor surpassed the Halo's boost of forging Splendiferous Universes right away as the number Noah obtained from it was 10 Billion Splendiferous Universes passively forged daily!

This meant that within ten days….a Cosmos would naturally form.

A normal Higher Existence was only able to form a genuine Cosmos after three years…and Noah could form his in less than ten days without any outside help!

This was just one of the perks of the Flames of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor as uniquely, this was the first Edict that Noah had come across that didn't allow its Bloodline to be shared by others.

It was too high and too elevated as he would be the only one with this Insuperable Edict!

This was shown by the ridiculous boosts it gave as the moment of Edict's Completion, Noah saw his Ascendancy Value jump to 68!

It was 27 when he was in his fused Nion form and while fused with the Ascendancy Halo, with this number reducing when he lost these forms. Yet after breaking through to the Cosmic Filament Realm with tens of thousands of Cosmos still being forged within his body, this number exceeded 25 with ease as now after completing the Flames of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor…his Ascendancy Value had shot up to 68, and he saw it soon reaching 70 in real time as more and more Cosmos were forged to augment his strength.

One's Realm gave them their base stats. The crazy amounts of percentages that Noah had been collecting this time- especially ones like the 250 Billion percent to All Parameters from the Flames of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor…all of these percentages would continue to play a large role going forward as the more Cosmos Noah forged, the more base power he could augment with his percentages!

In just days after achieving an Ascendancy Value of one and stepping into the ranks of the First Firmament of Ascendancy, he was now approaching the Second Firmament of Ascendancy so long as he broke past a Value of 100.

That was how domineering his advancement was! This was how domineering his forged INSUPERABLE Nomological Edict was!

Along with the nullification of Edicts below it, the surprises that the Resplendent Treasure Emperor held were many as they majorly conformed around the three granted abilities- the first being Absolute Looter.

:: A passive reality altering ability that allows the Resplendent Treasure Emperor to completely Loot everything from his enemies, from their memories to Daos as now, even completed Bloodline Edicts and their Flames can be obtained. What is theirs…is now yours!

"…"

It was a simple and one of the shortest descriptions of an ultimate skill stemming from the Flames of an Edict, but it spoke of exactly what its oppressive effects were as it granted something even the Flames of Apocalypse could not!

Complete acquisition of the Flames of Edicts and their Bloodlines.

If Noah had when he defeated Cecilia, he wouldn't have needed to spend 800 Cosmic Resource Points or the many other resource points he would not have to spend to complete the Edicts he gained from her! Any Edicts he obtained from fallen enemies from now on would be complete as this was only one of the wonders of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor.

Lastly, there were and

(3/3) :: Across one's lifetime, many nexus events occur that weave their destiny and take them to the paths they ultimately follow. The Resplendent Treasure Cache is an ability that will become available during a Nexus Event and can be utilized for a total of three times in your lifetime, each time against a single target. Its activation allows for the parameters of Reality to be exceeded greatly as the defeat of the selected enemy brings to fruition a [Resplendent Treasure Cache] that contains a wide assortment of Loot that is dictated by the momentary Increase of +10,000,000% Increased Loot Quantity and +1,000,000% Increased Loot Rarity. These Reality altering effects can only be activated by immense reserves of the Essence of Reality and are only applicable against the single selected enemy as the products one can obtain from the formed [Resplendent Treasure Cache] varies…

:: Even Realities do not escape your gaze as you seek their destruction for the purpose of looting. When activated before you destroy a Reality, this ability is capable of granting a much less pristine form of a [Resplendent Treasure Cache] that is labeled as a [Reality Cache]- this Vault of Loot holding random treasures that only await to be discovered…

Everything was about loot!

and were uniquely abilities that heavily focused on Loot, with the first one only being capable of being used a total of three times across Noah's life as its effects….

They were pure madness!

Currently, Noah had a passive boost of +500,000% Increased Loot Quantity and 50,000% Increased Loot Rarity. The ability of actually granted him +10,000,000% Increased Loot Quantity and +1,000,000% Increased Loot Rarity against a single enemy that when he defeated them…a Resplendent Treasure Cache would be produced!

A Cache holding random treasures that even Noah had no idea about, and the latter ability of using this same concept as if Noah ever destroyed an entire Reality, he could obtain something called a [Reality Cache].

Would Cosmic Treasures or Primordial Relics come out from these concepts that seemed like Treasure boxes? Or something even more wondrous?

The concepts were too unique and Noah had too many thoughts on them, but he could only wait to see what would come of it in the future as for now…he had to finish preparing for what was coming.

His focus shifted once more as with the completion of four Quasi-Insuperable Edicts and a single Insuperable one, he now held a total of 11 completed Edicts as he just needed four more!

His sharp eyes looked into his status sheet as he selected four Greater Edicts among the ones he gained from Cecilia.

"Complete the Greater Edicts of Rosary, Deceiver, Refulgence, and Erosion."

THRUM!

400 more Cosmic Resource Points were spent as Noah only had 800 left over, but with their usage…four brand new flames of Edicts appeared as they granted Noah a total of 15 completed Edicts.

Edicts that he could now utilize the authority of the Sanguine Emperor to fuse their Bloodlines and reforge his Ascendancy Halo completely into his own!

Chapter 1432: A Reforged Ascendancy Halo! II

Within the Cosmic Holy Land.

The figure of Hyperion could be seen as with a gaze of slight disbelief, he watched as his own Origin stepped onto the path of the Cosmic Filament Realm with utter ease.

A single wave of a certain being's hands had given him a single Universal-sized crystal as now, he elevated himself onto a stage he wouldn't have thought possible if not for the passage of a significant number of years!

All of this…was made possible by a single being. As the one-thousandth Cosmos formed within his Origin, Hyperion gazed towards the titanous figure of Noah as his emotions towards this existence were complex, but ultimately a single emotion won out of all of them. This emotion was admiration.

At a certain point, anyone who had closely seen Noah's work could only stare in admiration as they had to admit- this being was just built different!

Yet even amidst the admiration, abundant shock would always come as while gazing towards his direction, Hyperion saw Noah's eyes open with a domineering light as his illusory Ascendancy Halo began to pulse with light.

"He didn't…" Hyperion muttered under his breath as he watched with widening eyes as Noah's incomplete Ascendancy Halo pulsed with increasing frequency as in the next second, an illustrious crimson light flashed as another section was added to this massive ring that was made of complex clusters of runic lines!

In shock, an Ender of Reality watched as a being younger than it by millions of years went forward to complete their Ascendancy Halo, the means he used being known only to him as it was a stellar sight to see nonetheless.

BZZZT!

With wild abandon and fervor, Noah called upon the Flames of the Sanguine Emperor to fuse the Bloodlines of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor, Unbridled Emperor, Golden Emperor, Savanna, Vestige….all of the newly gained Bloodlines as in consequence, their Flames were drawn into the incomplete Halo!

To this day, Noah did not know the full extent and use of this Halo as it was something he had little information about, the memories of Cecilia helping shed the light on its true usage as it wasn't merely something to fuse with.

Even the description he read before mentioned that its uses were still being quantified, with the details of the Ascendancy Halo ever changing in some aspects as something like the number of passively forged Splendiferous Universes daily had already changed from the 1 Billion Noah saw before to an even higher number!

The Halo was a collection of the Flames of Edicts- unique authorities that provided Reality altering capabilities that one could open with the Essence of Reality. The connection of such Flames into a Halo should give a fantastical effect far more than what Noah had found so far, and even more so for his Halo as it was the complete fusion of those Edicts through their Bloodlines.

OOOM!

One after another, he observed his vast and expansive Origin that contained the Bloodlines fuse them serenely under the authority of the Sanguine Emperor, their Flames joining to complete his Ascendancy Halo as the crimson light it released only became more and more oppressive!

A Halo's strength relied on the Edicts that made it, and nobody could deny the quality of Noah's Edicts as a single Insuperable level Edict and 8 Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts were now dwelling at the base of this Halo. Its power was still unranked as after its completion, Noah could freely optimize it and fuse more Edicts into it while even removing lesser ones that didn't contribute much to its power.

There were many grand plans for the future as Noah watched on calmly while the Flames of Edicts weaved into the unique Halo of Authority, the incomplete crimson ring gradually closing in on itself as in the next moment- the last piece of the puzzle came into place!

CLANG!

As if a gate was closing, the metallic sound of an indomitable Halo becoming complete resounded out as momentarily, it released a blinding crimson light that turned the entire Cosmic Holy Land red.

"…"

An austere silence descended down as a complete halo pulsed around Noah calmly, spinning and releasing waves of crimson light as it caused an oppressive pressure to be felt all around! The authority of the Reality Overseer was mostly clustered around this halo at this moment, Hyperion's incomplete halo barely having any of this authority left as one could see what the passive will of this Reality had chosen!

Noah himself stared closely at this mysterious halo as bursts of information entered his mind, his gaze going towards the number of his Ascendancy Value that was currently updated in real-time on his status panel, seeing a beautiful 85 at this moment as he was ridiculously approaching the Second Firmament of Ascendancy in such a ridiculously short period of time!

OOM!

The changes were many. He needed time to adjust to them and quantify them!

His origin was also coming to settle down as the number of his forged Cosmos approached 2 million, Noah having already begun on a second Shard of a Seed of Reality as for this one, he didn't completely devour it.

He absorbed it slowly and for a good reason as only a small section of the fantastical crystal that looked like a piece of Reality remained, Noah stopping his absorption at this time as he stared towards the direction of a bound Champion of Reality.

This existence was still unconsciously bound by flames of Quasi-Insuperable Edicts as Noah's close had his hands analyzing the Origin and soul of Aegon, this process coming to a stop as Noah had obtained as much information as he needed on Primordial Epitaphs and how to forge his own System!

If he had the required Essence of Reality right now, he would even forge it right away! But he barely had any of this unique resource as the answer to all this…was the figure of Aegon before him and the two existences currently waiting to see an injured figure of Cecilia for them to intercept.

For this, Noah schemed and planned as he looked at the nearly used Shard of a Seed of Reality as he smiled devilishly, a Domain of Apocalypse slowly erupting from him and covering a large portion of the Cosmic Holy Land as the Flames around the Champion of Reality began to be loosened!

Chapter 1433: The Dwindling Flames of the Champion of Reality

At this moment in time, the consciousness of the Champion of Reality awoke as he found himself in a unique environment filled with the repulsive essence of Pandemonium.

BZZT!

His Cosmic Origin rose in powerful waves as he prepared to counterattack against the figures of the Ender of Reality and Noah, but he found nobody around him as when his aura spread out, he found his senses being stopped millions of light-years away as he seemed to be contained in a barrier!

Just as he was about to erupt with his might and flames of Edicts to confirm this location and how to break out of it, his mind became dazed when his awareness came across a shining crystal of immense grandeur just a million light-years away.

The crystal was barely the size of a World and seemed heavily reduced from its original size, but it contained within it the glimmer of Cosmos as it seemed to be a portion of Reality!

"This..?!"

Aegon had never come across such a thing as his figure flashed towards it rapidly, his mind that was filled with wrath against those that schemed against him now focusing on this pristine Treasure that his Origin seemed to be calling out to with fervor.

He came before it as it reflected before his eyes, unable to stop himself from laying his hands on it as the moment he did…his Origin quivered in joy as it was telling him to devour the object before his eyes right away!

To devour it and gain more power as the Champion of Reality actually felt an overabundance of unique essence within this crystal that reflected a shard of Reality- essence that would actually elevate him from the Cosmic Realm and onto the Cosmic Filament Realm.

THRUM!

He didn't ask questions or wonder why such a prized Treasure would be in the location he was seemingly imprisoned in.

After having his Origin and soul played with as the hands of others Tainted him while studying his Primordial Epitaph, he just wanted power to punish them even before they were beaten black and blue by the Primordial!

So against his usual careful judgment, the Champion of Reality didn't even fully think about his current situation as he simply absorbed the laid out and nearly used up Shard of a Seed of Reality.

He and nobody else would imagine that a terrifying existence actually planted and let go of such a treasure freely. That all of this would be for a plot that only they could benefit from!

RUMBLE!

The wrathful champion didn't fully analyze everything as he truly saw his Cosmos bud a brand new one within milliseconds, a second Cosmos being completed as a few hundred more began to bloom.

"Haha! Now I shall see who dares to disparage my authority! At the Cosmic Filament Realm, can the Ender of Reality compare? Can that Osmont even reach my feet?!"

…!

As Aegon felt the profound power, his confidence and might grew once more as just at this time, a calm voice echoed out as his surroundings brightened up.

"I can do more than just reach your feet, Little Champion."

WAA!

With his voice smashing down like a clap of thunder, Noah appeared not too far away from Aegon as he gazed at this being with eyes of pity.

This being that held grand aspirations and destiny as he was a chosen being- a Champion of Reality! And yet right now…he lay in the palm of another being's hands as the bright flame of Destiny that burned brightly around him…it had begun to dwindle!

The illustrious flame of a chosen being that meant he would go extremely far and reach unimaginable heights began to flicker as the Destiny of this being was the first to notice what was coming.

"You…!"

His eyes gazed towards Noah as his newly forged Origin that was now a few hundred Cosmic Filament Cores thrummed with power.

He wanted to rip this being before him apart but at this moment, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat as he felt his destiny come to a halt!

His eyes became confused as he didn't understand this feeling, and the next thing he saw was the calm face of Noah as he thrust out his palm.

He didn't know that Noah had laid out the nearly used up Shard of a Seed of Reality for him to utilize and break into the Cosmic Filament Realm. Aegon didn't know that the Primordial he depended on was already dead as at this moment, Noah had merely reduced her Champion to something he could raise and then benefit from as he utilized the boosts of his newly formed Insuperable Edict!

He didn't know that he was given a treasure to elevate his Realm just so that the Resplendent Treasure Emperor could benefit from killing another existence from the Cosmic Filament Realm.

He didn't know!

The palm from Noah was too fast for the capabilities of a mere Aegon at this moment.

The palm arrived the moment that Aegon saw it as it was bathed in the black essence of Apocalypse along with a glimmering golden essence of an Insuperable Nomological Edict!

It smashed down ruthlessly onto this being whose destiny cried out slowly, the burning flames of the Champion of Reality being snuffed out silently as there was nobody to even see it!

No glory. No Legions surrounding him. No grand battle. A lone death that he didn't even know was coming as in the next second….

THRUM!

Any defenses he had were shredded apart as he was eviscerated into nothingness.

"…"

The dwindling flames of the Champion of Reality entirely vanished as thereafter…

[+7 Cosmic Filament Cores obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…[+.7 Shards of a Seed of Reality are obtained.]

[+13 True Blood Pearls obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…[+1.3 Existential Pearls are obtained.]

[+300 Runic Dao Line Enhancers obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…[+30 Evolutionary Runic Lines of Ascendancy are obtained. ]

[+300 Billion Skill Points obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied…[+300 Cosmic Resource Points obtained.]

…!

Lines of Loot after lines of Loot descended before Noah's eyes as Aegon's Edicts, Daos, Bloodlines, and even his reserves of Essence of Reality were all looted by Noah!

Chapter 1434: A Single Step Ushers in a New Era! I

Noah gazed at the golden prompts flowing down before his face as they included dozens of Daos, 8 Nomological Edicts, and the Bloodlines of 5 of these Edicts among many other things!

His focus landed on the Shards of Reality as he summoned one with his hands, seeing a small glimmering star-like crystal appear as it held within it the multicolored Essence of Reality.

truly took everything from the defeated enemy, with Noah gaining the reserves of Essence of Reality from Aegon as even with the amount he obtained, he could not yet even begin to forge his own Primordial Epitaph.

With the death of the Champion of Reality, it was a significant milestone as Noah felt the Minor Nomological Edict of Kismet and the Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor react vibrantly, his fortune and destiny rising in waves as he obtained everything the Champion held!

It was of great significance as he felt like it was the closing of a certain chapter, and he truly treated it like so as the being who could utilize and !

Now, he had to finish his preparations and put together his power to face the two enemies lying in wait outside his Reality- enemies that would open up the pathway to unfolding and unknown lands filled with adventure.

"Let's use up the rest of the Shards of a Seed of Reality shall we?"

Within the undisturbed domain, Noah waved his hands to cause the appearance of 4 Shards and a fifth one that was barely complete- this fifth one being the reward he received from Aegon.

BZZZT!

A will of darkness spread from him thereafter as the glimmering pieces of Reality were devoured entirely, his Origin once more turning into a battlefield as it raced to produce an additional 4.7 Million Cosmos!

And Noah wasn't done as he commanded other Loot to appear from his Expansive Space, his surroundings becoming filled with glimmering circular crystals that brimmed with swirling golden blood as these were the Existential Pearls.

Without delay, he devoured these as well as boundless golden True Blood surged within his body, golden flames even appearing as the vast blood within his body was being refined into something even purer!

Waves of gold and sounds of thunder and lightning echoed out as it seemed like something was being forged in his body.

His body emanated immense waves of heat as it seemed like a furnace was producing a fantastical Treasure, his organs, musculature, and bones made of stellar cosmos breaking down at a cellular level as they were constantly reforged to be even more powerful the more his True Blood was refined and the more Cosmos that he forged!

His base strength was constantly elevated as his ridiculous percentages in the billions expounded them ever higher, his Ascendancy Value rising as he shockingly approached a level Cecilia was working hard towards.

He was racing towards the Second Firmament of Ascendancy just days after entering the First!

As his true body forged itself, one of his True Sanguine Clones was accompanying Adelaide in another area of this vast unique space.

He had brought out an that could entirely change the blood of an existence into True Blood and elevate them to the level of a Higher Existence, Adelaide looking towards him with love as she spoke lightly.

"It shouldn't be too much longer now."

She was holding on to her protruding belly as she spoke, Noah nodding towards her with a light smile as he replied while motioning to the Pearl in his hands!

"This should be the final ingredient. When you are ready, start absorbing it as the time you enter the stage of a Higher Existence and become reforged on a structural level…it should also be the time for the little guy to come out."

…!

As the Dictum Emperor and holder of the Edict of Kismet, Noah at least knew this much as he waited with great expectation for what was to come, many things around his life advancing in grand directions as he waited patiently for it all!

"Un." Adelaide smiled while receiving the Existential Pearl, this fantastical scene of a shocking existence still developing within her body only being seen by her and Noah golden clouds of essence covered them while they continued to wait.

Outside of the bounds of Noah's Reality.

A Winged Tiger with 10 pairs of terrifying wings that shone with auroras of blue and purple could be seen, the entire body of the Winged Tiger shimmering with the same color of lustrous fur as this existence currently had its universal sized eyed staring closely towards a certain Reality.

With vibrant Cosmic Filament Cores within his body, this was the Tyrant Beast Pyxis!

There was another being close to him, this one just as powerful if not more as his Bloodline released a venomous black cloud passively that could melt apart any common Cosmic Realm existences and even poison weak Cosmic Filament Rank existences- with an endlessly long slithering body with obsidian scales and six crimson eyes at its draconic head.

The venomous cloud around its body was melting apart the nearby void of space as it spoke of its terror, the eyes of this existence blinking with a dangerous light as his archaic voice echoed out.

"Must you be so on guard? An injured Primordial up against two beings at the peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy…even in the Primordial Battlefields, you weren't this careful!"

The voice was filled with malice and power as the might within it was palpable, the figure of Pyxis not even turning around as his focus solidified even further while he replied.

"Yacucoatl…I invited you for this due to your unique strength as a Royal Blight Serpent Dragon. We've lived for too long to grow arrogant over our power and not be careful. Against any enemy, we must strike with full force and strike to kill!"

RUMBLE!

A voice filled with age and power stemmed out from Pyxis as he continued!

"We take her down and attribute her death within the Reality she just left onto the poor Ender or Champion, we take our gains…and we quickly move on. Use your ultimate abilities right away if need be…as we cannot play around with Primordials!"

…!

Silence reigned before a snort could be heard, but it seemed an agreement was reached as the aura leaking from the Blight Serpent became even more oppressive, the dark clouds around its hidden body becoming tinged a dangerous green as even the boundaries between realities began to shake!

They were waiting for something…and something was coming for them as it was bound to be a wondrous meeting that would spark mayhem across Realities!

Chapter 1435: A Single Step Ushers in a New Era! II

Terrifying enemies lay in wait outside of the Reality as Noah knew this very well, his preparations in the Cosmic Holy Land coming to a close as his eyes opened to cause the clamor of golden liquid essence around him to instantly disperse.

BZZZT!

Arcs of multicolored light danced over his body in a shocking fashion as his strength was palpable, his stellar-colored hair flowing freely as one could see a vast cluster of Cosmos shining throughout his body. He was currently in his natural Cosmic Form as his body shone with awe-inspiring power, and there were close to 8 Million Cosmos currently pulsing with strength all over his body!

All of his Shards of a Seed of Reality were used up along with most of the Existential Pearls, his body now being capable of passively forging over 20 Billion Splendiferous Universes daily after one also accounted for the Boosts from his Ascendancy Halo.

The true strength and power of the Halo was currently still being tested by him as the uniqueness of bringing together so many flames of Edicts was extremely terrifying, with Noah realizing the abilities from the individual flames being enhanced to crazy amounts when used through the Ascendancy Halo!

There were many more things to test and quantify, and this was what the upcoming battle was for as Noah had prepared sufficiently enough at this point in time.

OOOM!

His left hand raised up as it held within it two golden books, one being from Kismet as it was Reader's Foresight and the other being from the Dictum Emperor as it was Premium Reader!

These golden books contained within them immense information as Noah had perused them thoroughly, seeing what lay ahead for him in the future and what paths he could take, and which paths he could destroy.

"Pyxis and the Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl…you will be my slingshot into these vast Realities."

RUMBLE!

Noah already knew their identities as he wasn't the least bit afraid, his own power right now being utterly terrifying as his current Ascendancy Value….was sitting at 96!

At the Peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy as he was knocking on the door of the Second Firmament!

And this…wasn't even his final form.

WAA!

His stellar eyes shone brightly as they gazed towards Hyperion, this Ender of Reality rising up at this moment as he held a Cosmic Filament of 1 Million Cosmos, his eyes incredibly as he seemed ready for everything to come.

"Let's go."

BZZT!

Fantastical waves of light covered their bodies as moments later, their two figures disappeared from the Cosmic Holy Land. The plan between them was already communicated as they had no need for words as now, they only had to act!

Their Reality was under no threat. The Champion of Reality was defeated along with his Primordial. They could effectively close this chapter in their lives as they sought for something even greater!

Hyperion sought his freedom as he was about to have it, and Noah…he sought Loot.

Utter and magisterial Loot!

Their bodies shifted through the folds of space as they very quickly arrived near the boundary of their vast Reality, this boundary being near or far depending on one's power.

In any region within the Reality, one could utilize a unique power to break open its boundary and appear outside of it. It could be a unique power like Eckert had as the Great Usurper, or it could be through achieving the Eyes of Power like Ruination and the Primordial Eyes, or it could be through becoming a Higher Existence!

With a few steps, Noah and Hyperion shot across the veils of space as they came close to the boundary, Hyperion turning around to gaze at the Reality in a melancholic fashion as he didn't know if he would return after he stepped outside of it.

As for Noah, his heart was already firm as he knew himself very well, proceeding forward as with a thin boundary lying between him and the Boundary Between Realities…he took a step forward.

A single step.

A step filled with conviction and confidence as it wasn't the first time Noah had stepped out of his Reality to enter the Boundary Between Realities!

And yet this time when he stepped out, it was for a purpose as this step had immense significance…whether he knew it or not!

This single step was the beginning of untold chaos and mayhem!

OOOM!

A mere existence cannot change the destinies nor cause waves in the vast Infinite Realities.

A mere human being would make even less waves as they might even be lost in the ravages of time.

Yet whether one considers it a coincidence or as a result of action, after a certain being took a single step…many things occurred outside of their scope of knowledge and in grandiose locations they did not even know of!

Around the same time that Noah stepped outside of his Reality to face enemies lying in wait.

CRAAACK!

In an extremely far away location countless Realities from him, a massive sound akin to a cataclysmic event of clusters of Cosmos echoed out.

It stemmed from cracks echoing out across a titanous body that was the size of dozens of Cosmos, this body being pristinely unique as it seemed like a layer of stone was peeling from it and falling down!

CRAACK!

The cracks spread out faster and faster as a pair of luminous eyes the size of Cosmos began to brighten up slowly, an archaic voice that had lived for countless eons reverberating out.

"Why…did I…wake?"

THRUM!

The voice traveled out in waves as it reached Billions of light-years away, a Cosmos just happening to be on the path of this voice as this Cosmos fractured and turned to dust just from the mere soundwaves!

More and more cracks spread out as the luminous eyes of the ancient existence brightened up, his voice becoming clearer as they gazed at the unknown.

"Has destiny begun to flourish once more? Has the Age of Emperors arrived onto the Firmaments once again?"

RUMBLE!

The shocking voice came out in waves as a unique phenomenon occurred at the moment that a certain being took a single step! It was unknown if there was a connection, but the phenomenon that occurred was far from a single one as immense undercurrents weaved out with fervor!

Chapter 1436: Changes!

At this period of time, many phenomena occurred without rhyme or reason!

Within another Reality.

In a vibrant Primordial Sea, a huge golden structure the size of a Cosmos was enacted as it was reminiscent of a holy shrine with countless statues of different races surrounding it.

Each of these statues held ferocious expressions filled with power as all of them had their hands raised to hold an expansive bronze bowl!

At the very bottom of the statues, golden steps wound down from the shrine-looking structure as a single step was as vast as a Universe, and there were currently two titanous beings walking calmly atop these steps while talking to each other.

It was a man and a woman, their features being unique as the man had extremely long sharp ears and glimmering wings on his back, while the woman had dazzling four pairs of eyes and golden flames rising in waves for her hair!

The sharp-eared man gazed towards this flame-haired woman with a calm gaze as he spoke teasingly.

"Just how many Insuperable Edicts are you trying to include in your next Ascendancy Halo, Sis Belle? Even then, it might not be enough to reach the Sixth Firmament of Ascendancy!"

…!

His words seemed to be edging her on as she harrumphed, continuing to walk up the vast steps as a light of confidence shone on her eyes while she replied.

"Whether through Edicts or other Treasures…I'll do whatever it takes to not be the weakest one guarding this holy place!"

Her eyes were filled with conviction, the man nodding towards her resolve as just when he was about to continue talking…

THRUM!

Their surroundings began to tremble and quake in a shocking manner!

It wasn't their surroundings, but the golden steps they stood on that were attached to the cosmic-sized shrine! The man and woman raised their consciousness out as to their shock, they saw the countless golden statues holding on to the bronze bowl tremble as rivers of blood began to leak out from their stony eyes, the bowl they held also trembling as from it…golden liquid began to bubble out and spill over!

"This…!"

The pair of experts were shocked at the scene as their scalps tingled, multiple auras rising up from within the shrine at this time as a myriad of existences even more powerful than these two stepped out to look at this phenomenon.

They varied in shapes and sizes as they were all of different races, but many came to cluster around a single powerful aura that was more powerful than anyone here, and this aura belonged to a hunched old man that walked out with a walking gray walking stick that seemed dismissed of all life.

Yet, the body of this old man was shining with an iridescent stellar color as throughout his body, one could see an endlessly spanning Reality!

Filled with countless Cosmos, it was an illusory reality that caused all of the beings in the surroundings to gather towards this old man as they stared at the phenomenon of golden liquid overflowing from the bronze bowl and bathing the shrine a shimmering gold color, while the statues bled rivers of blood as they seemed to hold a foreboding feeling for what was to come!

"Master, this is…?" The woman with flames for hair was the only one able to raise her voice to ask as she noticed the gazes of many beings around her to be completely grim, and she didn't know what the phenomenon they were seeing meant as she sought answers from the hunched old man.

His eyes seemed capable of seeing through the veils of everything as they shone with a Cosmic light, his ancient voice coming out slowly as it resonated in the very hearts of those in the surroundings.

"Destiny overflows as blood shall bathe the Infinite Realities."

RUMBLE!

Blood shall bathe the Infinite Realities as destiny had begun to overflow!

It was a shocking statement as the eyes of many beings turned even darker, the flame-haired woman not being able to help but ask another question!

"What…what could have triggered this phenomenon at this time after countless eons?"

In the eyes of the existence at the Fifth Firmament of Ascendancy, a trace of fear could be seen as she thought of the possibilities of what was to come!

"The birth of something or someone…or simply the weaving of destiny has deemed it so. If it is the former…we must find and destroy whatever has risen at the swiftest time possible."

WAA!

The body of the hunched old man glimmered with light as his eyes became exceedingly cold, his voice turning authoritative as he spoke out the next few words.

"Stretch out across the vast Realities. When you meet what we seek, you will naturally know. Strike without reservation and obliterate anything on your path…we must prevent the destruction of Realities at such a cataclysmic scale."

…!

"The other shrines should be seeing similar phenomenons as they will also send word, with many of us needing to be mobilized to face the perilous eons to come…"

OOOM!

The surroundings shook as the golden liquid overflowing from the bronze bowl reached the golden steps, but it wasn't alone as mixed within it were rivers of crimson blood that made for an extremely contrasting scene.

The hunched old man gazed at the golden and red mixture of liquid flowing between his feet as it went on to cover the whole shrine, making for a unique scene in the Primordial Sea of an enormous structure that was actually dripping red and gold!

This type of phenomenon occurred within this shrine, and as the hunched old man mentioned- it occurred on many other shrines similar to it spread out across the Infinite Realities as those that guarded these shrines quickly relayed the message!

The unique thing about the existences overseeing these shrines was something they all shared even though they were of different races.

Their bodies carried a regal glow of a certain Bloodline that made them extremely special.

It was the Bloodline of Primordials!

Chapter 1437: The Royal Blight Serpent Dragon- Yacucoatl! I

Within an infinitesimal region in the endless Boundaries Between Realities that held an infinite number of Realities.

The Tyrant Beast Pyxis was watching a certain direction very closely as he waited to see a scene of an injured Primordial flying out, his Origin brimming with energy as he was full of focus and ready to lash out at any moment!

Silent waves of destiny echoed out as just at this time, waves of unstable power echoed out as the luminous eyes of Pyxis sharpened, focusing on a newly appearing aura that was traversing across the Boundary Between Realities at an extremely high speed.

Of course, as experts at the peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy, Pyxis and the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl…..could easily see the rushing figure!

With streaks of golden blood on her white dress and a torn veil that revealed a breathtaking face, it was the figure of Cecilia that they had been waiting for this whole time!

'Finally!'

BZZZT!

Crackles of light surrounded Pyxis as his vibrant pair of wings pulsed with immense light, two profound Blue Tier Ascendancy Halos erupting from his body as they screamed of terror and regality.

His body instantly turned illusory as he shot forward at such a high speed that would make him a mere blur of light to most beings in the First Firmament of Ascendancy, and he arrived before the 'distraught' Cecilia in an instant as he could just make out her shocked expression that he had seen too many times.

It was the expression of terror and coming death that the Tyrant Beast Pyxis had seen too many times, his heart screaming in glee as his right claw thundered down with the support of two Blue Tier Ascendancy Halos- the claw manifesting wrathful white flames of edicts that coalesced to form an illusory claw of this Ender of Reality!

The blood of a Primordial! It was a unique delicacy that very few existences could claim to have tasted, with even fewer daring to go against this Bloodline. But throughout history, there were always those that wanted to try! And Enders of Reality that had broken their restrictions and could move freely across Realities…there was an enticing glow around Primordials that they could not deny.

The enormous figure of the Winged Tiger Ender of Reality shot down with an illusory claw made of white Flames of Edict, intent on heavily wounding the Primordial before him in a manner that she could not even react to!

The surrounding void itself trembled as at this highest and most crucial moment, the eyes of Pyxis fluttered and were startled as he saw the terrified expression on the figure of 'Cecilia' fading away.

Immense coldness replaced her face soon after as a domineering aura erupted from him, an aura that came with a blinding crimson light!

It was so fast and the two beings were so close that there was no time to react or make a move, the speed that 'Cecilia' displayed being even more horrific than the speed Pyxis showed earlier as the attack released was even faster! The crimson glow released shockingly came in contact with the illusory flames of edict as in the next instant…the white flames were wiped out entirely as the red glow that had now manifested into a glimmering Halo went forward to smash onto the body of Pyxis!

SHHIING…BOOOM!

It was too fast.

Even a being at the peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy could not react as even the far away Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl only saw a brief flash of crimson light before a resounding explosion echoed out!

"GAAH!"

A Winged Tiger's limb flew as golden blood surged out like rivers, the terrifying crimson halo also smashing into its body as it actually cut apart the Blue Tier Halos surrounding Pyxis to smash into his body!

…!

A single crimson halo actually cut apart two blue ones! Could this even be done? Was it even a possibility?

Golden blood overflowed as the expression of Pyxis was twisted in pain and disbelief, leaving behind a genuine river of blood as he was knocked back.

BZZT!

His Origin trembled painfully as he was dealt a heavy injury, and even more so- he couldn't stop dazedly staring at his two Halos that even now…they had a smooth cut as they didn't connect anymore!

"Pyxis!"

The bellow of the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl shook him out of his stupor as when he stared forward and tried to wrap protective essence around him, he gazed up to see the figure of 'Cecilia' changing to a devilishly handsome man that glimmered with the light of cosmos throughout his whole body, a crimson Ascendancy Halo surrounding him as this being…wasn't even gazing at him at this moment.

What Pyxis saw was a mere ploy!

A ploy that heavily injured an existence at the Peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy as thereafter, the eyes of this being actually dared to gaze elsewhere.

He was actually gazing towards the direction of Yacucoatl as if Pyxis was now insignificant, the mesmerizing voice of this existence ringing out as he turned into a blur of light towards the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon!

"Heavily injured with his battle power heavily reduced…you can wear him out now, Hyperion!"

OOOOM!

The moment his words finished, the figure of Hyperion appeared in utter grandeur as his trunk bellowed out a horn of madness and power, a half-filled Ascendancy Halo fusing into his body as he shot towards Pyxis like a blazing pillar of light!

Wear him down. These were the domineering words spoken out as when it came to finishing Pyxis, this job would fall back to Noah himself.

With his Origin creaking in pain and his Ascendancy Halo literally cut, Pyxis faced a wrathful Ender of Reality as the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon faced the oppressive pressure of a being who could somehow even injure Ascendancy Halos.

The murky green clouds and shadows around Yacucoatl became ever denser as they lashed out poisonously, the imperious eyes of this serpent the size of a Cosmos brightening up with immense power as wondrously- three Ascendancy Halos released from it!

Not a single one was white.

Two Blue Halos could be seen as the third and most powerful one…it was another color entirely!

Chapter 1438: The Royal Blight Serpent Dragon- Yacucoatl! II

An ambush!

The two beings at the peak of the First Firmament of Ascendancy were waiting to ambush a Primordial as in turn, they actually faced an ambush themselves as the Tyrant Beast Pyxis was heavily injured during the first strike.

"ROAAR!"

He bellowed out with anger as his Origin and soul felt pain not just from his body, but more so from his two Ascendancy Halos that actually dimmed after shockingly being cut by a crimson halo!

Yet Pyxis didn't even get time to relax as the maddened figure of Hyperion surged out, his body taking the form of an even more fearsome Draconic-Elephantine creature after fusing with his half Halo as his golden trunk smashed down towards the Winged Tiger!

"We're both Primordial Beasts born for the same purpose!"

BOOOM!

The golden trunk was built like metal as it was countered by Pyxis's remaining claw, sparks flying out as the body of Hyperion became even more ferocious.

"Why would you scheme against me? Why speak of the higher purpose of Primordial Beasts not just ending a single Reality and being capable of doing things on a grand scale? Why?!"

BOOM!

With utter ferocity, Flames of Edicts surged around Hyperion as he actually matched against this existence that had a much higher Ascendancy Value than him, but the impact that Pyxis had received from Noah's single attack was too much as he was currently only defending against Hyperion while trying to reconnect his two Ascendancy Halos.

But in the midst of all of this…

OOOM!

Their surroundings changed color as a Domain was instantly laid down.

Shimmering with the essence of a Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict that was also backed up by an even more terrifying Insuperable Edict- Apocalypse brought down a Domain as the golden essence of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor reinforced it!

A prison was laid down where nobody could leave as Towers of Ragnarok began to rise, the situation around Pyxis shockingly turning dire as the aura of an oppressive Eldritch Terrors began to bloom while the Towers of Ragnarok released their passive attacks.

This was the side of Pyxis.

The side where the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl was…this side was much different as this being was releasing a terrifying air of power while glaring at Noah's figure intensely, the enormous body of this Serpent Dragon being surrounded by three iridescent Halos of light!

Two shone with a gorgeous Blue color as there was actually a third, and it was a Halo screaming of majesty and regality as beautifully- it was a glorious purple color.

White, Blue, Purple. This was the elevation in Tiers of Ascendancy Halos as for one to obtain a Halo of the blue tier, they had to include multiple Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edicts within it!

For one to forge a Purple Tier Ascendancy Halo, an Insuperable Nomological Edict had to be included- or one could achieve it through their own unique means.

The murky and clouded body of the seemingly endless Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl was now revealed clearly as a fantastical blue and purple glow surrounded it, the greenish clouds of position stemming from its obsidian scales being ever present as wondrously…a green crown dripping of majesty appeared to rotate above the Yacucoatl.

His serpentine crimson eyes locked in on Noah's figure as his archaic voice came out.

"You dare to have designs on Royalty of the Blight Serpent Dragon Bloodline? What are you? Where is the Primordial?"

OOOM!

The voice was akin to a king talking to his subjects as even after witnessing the shocking attack that had nearly incapacitated Pyxis, this Royal Blight Serpent Dragon was unfettered as his body only pulsed with greater levels of power!

Noah stopped before this being as the Ascendancy Halo of Catastrophe spun around him calmly, his gaze towards this Serpent unique as he was actually the causal piece that would get him to his next location.

"You need not look for the Primordial. I already killed and devoured her before coming to deal with you two."

WAA!

Shocking words left his mouth as the eyes of Yacucoatl shone with a sharp light!

"Impossible. A common existence like you would never dare to lay your hands on a Primordial."

"Oh?" Noah gazed at this creature before him with a smile as he replied calmly.

"If you dare to have designs on her, why can't I?"

Yes. What made Pyxis and Yacucoatl confident in taking down a Primordial and bypassing becoming Marked Ones? They already had a plan and method on who the blame would fall on, but it was still too bold of a thought for any Higher Existences to set their eyes on the blood of Primordials!

They were too feared in the vast Realities as their name alone carried tremendous weight. Naturally, those daring to look their way as prey had to have some standing and power.

Yacucoatl's eyes became even more dangerous as his three Ascendancy Halos spun around him with even more power, his draconic serpentine head rising up with pride as he began gloriously.

"I am a Prince of the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Bloodline, someone that-"

"Yes, yes." Before Yacucoatl could even continue, Noah actually cut him off as he spoke in a calm but derisive tone!

"The first Prince of the Royal Blight Serpent Dragons that control clusters of Realities, their might expanding in recent eons as their most powerful are scaling the Firmaments of Ascendancy steadily."

…!

"You are fairly young at 300 Million years old, using the power and might of your unique bloodline to forge over 50 Nomological Edicts as in the past thousand years, you managed to forge you first Insuperable Edict that granted you access to the Purple Tier Ascendancy Halo you have now."

RUMBLE!

Noah's words were like claps of thunder as for the first time, the dominating might that Yacucoatl was releasing faltered as this being actually moved back- his eyes being filled with shock and wariness when he gazed at Noah's figure! Only a single thought was running through his mind at this moment.

'What the fuck?!'

Chapter 1439: The Royal Blight Serpent Dragon- Yacucoatl! III

Information that nobody should know about the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl was revealed by Noah as he caused shock and wariness to reverberate across the Origin of this powerful being!

How could Noah know?! The memories of Cecilia were abundant and told him of the history and information about many races, Bloodlines, and Realities as some of these memories naturally contained information on the Bloodline of Royal Blight Serpent Dragons. But it didn't have anything about the identity of this being before Noah's eyes, nor about the Edicts he had and when he had forged them.

The answer was of course, through the Authority of the Dictum Emperor!

Even more so, it was apt to say it was through the Ascendancy Halo of Catastrophe rotating around Noah at this moment!

He had quantified yet another one of just uses as he found that the ultimate skills given to him by the Flames of the Nomological Edict could passively be activated with the Ascendancy Halo, their cost being entirely minimal- especially if they required the essence of Reality.

The moment that Noah neared Pyxis and the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl- Author's Viewpoint was activated as the status sheets of these powerful existences appeared before Noah's eyes.

The status sheet of Pyxis was naturally interesting, but Yacucoatl…that was something else entirely!

Noah's figure floated forward as he perused through it while continuing to speak.

"You spent over 10 million years in the Primordial Battlefields to forge yourself, managing to gain something in the end as you forged your Insuperable Edict of the Virulent Poison Emperor…granting you essence that can poison even other concepts and Nomological truths, much less existences!"

WAA!

These words instantly caused the wariness in Yacucoatl's eyes to increase, his body showing hints of hesitation before the royal blood within him churned as he spoke out with power.

"You…you are one of those Seers?"

Seers!

Noah heard this term as he couldn't help but smile, being familiar with it now due to Cecilia's memories as it was a term given to unique individuals across the vast Realities that had the talent of forging Nomological Edicts that allowed them to peer into unknown truths and tear apart the veils of secrets!

Such a task was extremely hard to do for most beings as it delved into the workings of destiny…and yet Noah had done it so easily!

Coming across Seers was extremely rare as even if one managed to form an Edict that could peer into the veils of secrecy, it would at most be a minor or Greater Edict, or at most at the Quasi-Insuperable level. To be considered a genuine Seer, one needed to have forged an Insuperable Edict that allowed them to peer through the veils of secrecy! Defending against such beings from obtaining information about you was hard as you needed an opposing Edict of a similar concept to prevent them from seeing through you- or you had to have an Edict of a Higher level that even if it wasn't one that a Seer would have, it's authority would still prevent others from piercing through one's veil of defenses.

Yacucoatl had such an Edict as he forged the Insuperable Edict of the Virulent Poison Emperor, and the authority of this Edict should have prevented a Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict that a Seer had as the only way this being bypassed him…is if he held an Edict of a Seer at the INSUPERABLE level.

WAA!

This was why Yacucoatl turned careful.

Yet…

He was wrong as Noah didn't have an Insuperable Edict that a powerful Seer would have, but he did have the authority of another Edict and an Ascendancy Halo that had not even been categorized! He layered the authority of the Resplendent Treasure Emperor and the Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict of the Dictum Emperor as with his unique Ascendancy Halo of Catastrophe…he tore across the protection of another being's Insuperable Edict and obtained all the information about them!

"A Seer or not…it does not matter. I know all of this about you and I dared to be here right now. What do you think that means, O Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Prince?"

RUMBLE!

With unmatched tyranny and dominance, Noah walked forward with his body brimming with boundless strength and power.

"Daring!"

WAA!

The deep voice of the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon echoed out as his body began to glimmer with incandescent light, but one could see his oppressive might had lost to the being made of Cosmos before his eyes!

There were many stories about Seers.

Yacucoatl had his confidence shaken by such a being as an instant later…

THRUM!

His three Ascendancy Halos shone and receded into his body as stupendously, he fused with all of them right away to enter his true form and battle with everything he had!

The surroundings tumbled out of order as the enormous body of the coiling Serpent Dragon underwent a change, multiple pairs of wings sprouting from its scaly back as eight more heads colored green and black protruded outwards.

A sea of deadly poison bloomed around its body as anything that even came near would suffer, and this virulent green sea actually continued to expand wildly as it threatened to cover everything in the surroundings!

It seemed like an ancient Serpent Dragon of the primal ages was being born on a vastly expanding sea, even Pyxis and Hyperion from afar moving their battle even further not to come in contact with this sea!

The new 9 heads of the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl stared coldly towards Noah as they screamed of ferocity and regality.

"The Virulent Poison Sea backed up by my fusion of Ascendancy Halos, Insuperable Edict, and bloodline will make it hard for Peak First Firmament existences to even stay within it for a few seconds…much less come near me! Give up your foolish aims and die…no matter if you are a seer!"

WAAA!

Renewed confidence rose within Yacucoatl as he watched the sizzling green sea quickly cover the area that Noah was at…but this being actually did nothing as the sea washed over his body and covered him completely.

Yet, the expected scene of pain and horror did not occur.

"…?"

The 9 heads of the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon squinted in a deadly fashion as they watched with extra eyes the figure of Noah simply raise his hands to play with the poisonous sea that would normally be melting the body and Origin of any existence in the First Firmament of Ascendancy in a matter of seconds!

Yet…boundless life-force seemed to emanate from the human within the Virulent Poison Sea as at this moment, an Edict he forged not too long ago fully showed its oppressive might as it covered him head to toe.

Noah had not been able to even display the full might of many of his Quasi-Insuperable Edicts because the enemies simply weren't powerful enough to allow for it. Now, his body bloomed with green-gold light as immense life force surged from him as while a Virulent Poison Sea forged from a fusion of three Ascendancy Halos, an Insuperable Edict, and a unique bloodline of a Royal Blight Serpent Dragon tried to break down his defenses…the domineering Edict of Antediluvian rose up with vengeance!

Antediluvian!

The Edict that granted him the Bloodline of a Primal Titan and the abilities of , , , and …this Edict was not to be looked down upon by itself as now that Noah had fused it into a stupendous Ascendancy Halo…even a deadly attack that could melt Peak First Firmament experts dealt absolute no damage to him!

Chapter 1440: Merely of the First Firmament! I

An overabundance of life force surged within Noah's body as even though a deadly Virulent Poison Sea threatened to melt everything, his life force denied it!

He floated within this sea calmly as his body shone with a green-gold luster, the abilities under Antediluvian expressing themselves in a fantastical manner as it caused a carefree demeanor that caused Yacucoatl to look towards Noah with an even more somber gaze.

"How can you so easily counter the deadly might of an Insuperable Nomological Edict?"

WAA!

The voice was booming as the Royal Blight Serpent Dragon that had now sprouted many pairs of wings and 8 extra heads shone with increasing luster, the sea around him becoming tinged even greener as this Serpent Dragon Prince saw Noah coming towards him calmly unaffected!

"It's a concept I termed Antediluvian."

OOOM!

"A concept of age and life…something that coincidentally opposes your own concept of poison and death as I want to see today whether I can oppose it entirely!"

…!

Noah wanted to test the extent of just how much his Ascendancy Halo elevated the Edicts contained within it- he wanted to know whether the enhancement was enough for a Quasi-Insuperable Nomological Edict like Antediluvian to stand against the might of an Insuperable Nomological Edict like the Virulent Poison Emperor!

Right now, he already withstood the Poison sea that passively formed from this being. But what about when Yacucoatl utilized the skills within his Edict that even borrowed the essence of Reality?

His eyes flashed with immense light as he wanted to let loose after stepping out of his Reality, his voice coming out in waves as his body began to change- the quantification of the boosts of his Ascendancy Halo beginning at this moment in full force.

"Antediluvian Tree."

RUMBLE!

The surrounding poisonous sea was brought to halt briefly.

From the being forged with millions of Cosmos, a glorious force of life that shimmered gold and green bloomed as an ancient tree took root within the Boundary Between Realities!

Its trunk was vaster than a Cosmos as it seemingly stretched out endlessly, piercing through the boundary of the Virulent Poison Sea as countless green-gold branches sprouted out.

These branches were extremely unique as at their ends, flowers bloomed as they sprouted clusters of vibrant Cosmos! They twisted and turned in a shocking fashion as these countless trunks sprouting clusters of Cosmos gave the blooming tree a terrifying sense of oldness and majesty.

WAA!

On the center of the trunk of the Antediluvian Tree itself, an ancient face that seemed to be looking down over everything formed- this face gazing towards Yacucoatl with utter tyranny as it voiced out.

"Fight!"

BOOM!

The voice carried with it an eruption of life force as the Virulent Poison Sea actually ran away from the surroundings of the ancient tree that could put Yggdrasil to shame, not even coming with a few light years distance with it as the overpowering life force seemed like poison to the poison sea itself!

If it neared, the viscous green color actually became lost as the sea began to turn clear, so how could it not be fearful?

"OOOOOOOH!"

The Royal Blight Serpent Dragon Yacucoatl became utterly unreconciled at such a scene as his 9 heads bellowed out, his body that was fused with three Ascendancy Halos turning a deadly shade of green as his voice reverberated out.

"The might of the Blight Serpent Dragon cannot be overcome! Reality Devouring Virulent Emperor!"

…!

Noah's eyes brightened up as his Primordial Eye of the Pioneer saw the activation of the Essence of Reality.

An ultimate skill from an Insuperable Nomological Edict was cast as the Virulent Poison Sea surged with utter madness!

Around Yacucoatl, an illusory form of a terrifying 9-headed dragon serpent reinforced him as each head adorned a glimmering verdant crown, their eyes filled with judgment and power as they opened their jaws to devour everything!

The skill was termed Reality Devouring Virulent Emperor as it was an ultimate offensive skill of an Insuperable Nomological Edict meant to devour Realities! Any enemy within the First Firmament of Ascendancy facing it could do nothing but perish.

The Boundary Between Realities surged as it began to be drawn into the jaws of the Virulent Emperor.

Yet…

"Unshaken."

RUMBLE.

A vast Antediluvian Tree stood within the Virulent Poison Sea.

A tree of great age as it could withstand the test of time, and it stood unshaken as such an ability was cast from a Quasi-Insuperable Edict to withstand the ultimate skill of an Insuperable one!

The crimson halo around the Antediluvian Tree brightened as layers of green gold instantly covered the whole tree, intent for it to remain unshaken even under the threat of an ability that could devour Realities!

BZZZT!

The terrifying devouring force locked onto its targets as the surroundings cracked and splintered, but the Antediluvian Tree stood strong.

"...!"

The 9 heads of the Reality Devouring Virulent Emperor turned deadly at such a scene as mana and essence of Reality surged, their illusory forms becoming even more solidified as a deadly force erupted out!

CRACK!

The layers of green gold called forth from Unshaken began to crack and splinter.

BZZT!

The Ascendancy Halo of Catastrophe hummed madly with power as it reinforced the singular aspect of Antediluvian contained within it, actually succeeding in withstanding the might of an ultimate skill of an Insuperable Nomological Edict with a Quasi-Insuperable one but at this moment…it was still about to be broken!

The gap between the two Tiers of Edicts was too vast as even though the Ascendancy Halo came close, it wasn't fully enough to bridge the gap!

'But…this isn't its final form.'

RUMBLE!

This wasn't the full extent of power of the Ascendancy Halo of Catastrophe as currently, it only held 15 fused Flames of Edicts.

The number and limit that all Ascendancy Halos had!

'Let's break that number now. Fuse another Bloodline into the Ascendancy Halo.'

….!

The authority of the Sanguine Emperor surged.

A Greater Nomological Edict obtained from Aegon had its Bloodline fused with another 15 as at this moment, a parameter was exceeded and a grand change occurred!
