"Peak-stage...Legendary G.o.d? With what sorcery?"
The four remaining Mara elders wondered in fright. According to their best knowledge, Besaran had always been a half-step Legendary G.o.d, having been at that level for billions of years. If someone told them that he miraculously obtained a new Dao Inheritance allowing him to break through to the early-stage Legendary G.o.d Rank, they could accept it.
An unparalleled fortuitous encounter that directly propulsed him to the mid-stage? Far-fetched but why not?
But peak-stage? Even if his time chambers could make time flow 10,000 times faster, that simply wasn"t possible! And yet, that truth stood before their eyes. If they knew that Besaran had already reached Fate and Truth Wielding, perhaps their state of mind would be even more chaotic. Unfortunately, he"d already achieved War Embodiment, otherwise, the opportunity to pursue Embodiment in a Primal Law would stand ahead of him.
But in the current situation, that mattered not. As far as Besaran was concerned, the Sea Dream Temple was a den of fleas whose best effort couldn"t stop his middle-finger.
"Activate the formations!"
The remaining elders said in tandem, coordinating with Rati to activate the Sea Dream Temple"s defensive formations. Hundreds of light pillars soared from various corners of the Sea Dream Temple, condensing 10,000 gleaming magenta gates swirling around one 15 kilometers tall citadel.
From that citadel, the choir of angels rang, booming in the t.i.tan"s minds and a.s.sailing them with mind-numbing illusions. While the phantasmal blows a.s.sailed the t.i.tans" minds, the gates opened, releasing millions of magenta shards that streaked through the air, hurtling at the invading t.i.tans!
Seeing this, the t.i.tan Lord sneered, and as his peers dispelled the illusion, he swept the air with a horizontal hand wave of one of his eighteen arms, releasing a formless gush of Truth Laws that stopped the millions of magenta shards mid-flight!
"Nonsensical display."
The t.i.tan Lord scoffed and clenched his hand, causing the shards to burst into light particles. Seeing this, the elders despaired. Though a top eight-star G.o.d Formation, their Guarding Citadel could at best repel the casual offensive of a peak-stage Legendary G.o.d. Counting on it to oppose the t.i.tan Lord"s murderous might was a pipes" dream.
And even if it could protect them, a formation of that level consumed a tremendous quant.i.ty of G.o.d-Jades. How long could they endure before their reserves became a dry desert?
There was no road to survival!
But if knowing was one thing, accepting was another. With soaring determination, the Mara elders flew toward the citadel, merging with it to trigger its strongest blow!
A 100 meters wide magenta orb of pure G.o.d-Force condensed before the Guarding Citadel, releasing a dazzling G.o.d-Force beam that barrelled into the t.i.tan Lord!
"Presumptuous fleas."
The t.i.tan Lord scoffed and stretched out one of his eighteen indexes toward the incoming beam.
*BOOM*
In a resounding explosion, the beam collided with his index, but instead of blasting him into smithereens, it stopped right there. With a sneer, the t.i.tan Lord filliped the beam, sending it rolling back at the Citadel!
*BOOM*
The magenta beam slammed right into the Citadel, sending it flying backward in a dazzling burst of magenta light! Even with the Citadel"s protection, of the four Mara elders hiding within, only the Legendary G.o.d managed to withstand the impact. The rest perished on the spot!
"Demons? Devas? Joke!
So much for the Higher Realms! So much for a Cardinal Sect! To think that for you measly fleas, I deigned personally lead our forces, what a joke!"
The t.i.tan Lord bellowed, clenched his fists, and joined them in a soundless b.u.mp.
"Innate Skill: Sovereign Authority!"
As those words left the t.i.tan Lord"s lips a tyrannical force crashed onto the entirety of the Sea Dream Domain, putting all devas, spirits, and humans on their knees, without any means to resist. Worse, the citadel collapsed! Bursting into light particles alongside the elder remaining within!
t.i.tans were not born equal. And although it increased with their cultivation level, the size of their True Form determined the height of their bloodline level. And while t.i.tans all possessed an innate, tyrannical air that commanded the subservience of lesser individuals, Sovereign Authority was an innate skill unique to the strongest t.i.tan bloods, allowing them to crush the will and enforce the submission of all unable to resist it.
When displayed by the t.i.tan Lord, even Legendary G.o.ds could only drop on their knees and await judgment! And as its might unfurled, Rati looked toward the Myriad Dreams Valley, wondering why Konrad"s subordinates weren"t making their move.
Her face contorted into a frown.
"DEATH!"
The t.i.tan Lord"s tyrannical command echoed, forcing all across the t.i.tan Domain to feel the threat of destruction fill their minds. In that instant, none doubted that if no one rose to resist the command, the trillions of lives within the Sea Dream Domain would perish without exception.
All s.h.i.+vered in fright, and as if struggling in an internal choice, Rati closed her eyes. For her, stopping that move required no effort. But if she did, concealing her ident.i.ty was impossible. Therefore, she chose to let it play out!
At worse, this body died. Such an outcome would have no consequence on her True Self.
But at that time, the mist surrounding the Myriad Dreams Valley expanded, wrapping the Sea Dream Temple and the invading t.i.tans at one fell swoop. From the Myriad Dreams Valley, twelve dark-purple rays emerged, crossing the air to stop before the t.i.tan Lord. The dark light dispersed, revealing twelve figures clad in various a.s.sortments of dark yet regal chthonian armors.
The twelve Chthonian Dragon Dukes! And as soon as they appeared, their Devil Force unfurled, cras.h.i.+ng into the t.i.tan Lord"s Sovereign Authority and squas.h.i.+ng it in a heartbeat!
"Apologies for the delay. The Sea Dream Temple is the territory of his majesty. Since you"re so kind as to offer yourselves as fertilizers, we might as well make a good use of you."
Wolfgang jested, and in tandem the twelve dukes a.s.sumed their true form, becoming gargantuan chthonian dragons and baring their claws at the t.i.tans!
At their back, a detachment of the secret forces made their move, breaking and surrounding the 300 t.i.tans in smaller groups to carry out a slaughter!
The first battle between the t.i.tan Domain and the Myriad Dreams Valley thus began!
But as that earthshaking collision began, within the t.i.tan Domain, a golden-haired man observed the clouding mist with rapt attention, and when the first t.i.tan"s life plate broke, he stepped forward, descending onto the Celestial World to a.s.sail the Myriad Dreams Valley!
