Sovereign of the Ashes

The wars surrounding Divine Descendants World were broadly divided into three areas.

These corresponded to the three overlords from Myriad Manifestations World who were still putting up a fight.

Among them, Venerable Tianyang’s battlefield was located outside Divine Descendants World.

This late-stage Rank Seven venerable was currently under siege by a Bladeist, a demon overlord, and a Thunder Beast King.

Even from far away, Sein could tell that Venerable Tianyang was desperately trying to get closer to Divine Descendants World.

Unfortunately, things were not going according to his wishes!

Whether it was the Bladeist, the demon overlord, or the Thunder Beast King, any one of them alone would be more than a match for Venerable Tianyang, let alone all three attacking together.

Even the Thunder Beast King, who appeared to be at a lower cultivation level and seemed somewhat slow-witted, possessed terrifying strength. In his wounded state, Venerable Tianyang was clearly unwilling to face it head-on.

As for the other mid-stage Rank Seven venerable, Muge, perhaps due to the extraordinary resilience granted by his dendro elemental power, he had already withstood the pressure from the others and forced his way into Divine Descendants World by the time Sein and the others arrived.

The shattered deep-blue sky had become the main battlefield of this Rank Seven venerable.

Locked in fierce battle with him were the Dawn Emperor, the Holy Dragon King, another Bladeist, and the Swiftling King.

In terms of power and aura, Venerable Muge was indeed the weakest member of Myriad Manifestations World side on this main battlefield.

Yet by relying on the law of Endless Vitality, he could heal and recover in an extremely short time, no matter how severe his injuries were.

Venerable Muge’s ability was somewhat different from the instant recovery Sein had previously observed among overlords through the use of special energy.

Still, they belonged to the same tier of recovery capabilities, which was precisely why Venerable Muge, despite his relatively modest strength, had managed to enter Divine Descendants World ahead of Venerable Tianyang.

The battle between overlords rumbled like endless thunder. Even from a great distance, inside his planetary fortress, Sein could sense the terrifying fluctuation of law sweeping across the battlefield.

That place was a true forbidden zone for life. Even ordinary Rank Four, Rank Five, and Rank Six beings could not venture there lightly.

Presumably, only top-tier powerhouses just below overlord level, such as Gongsun Wudi, were qualified to take part in the outer battlefields and still have some ability to protect themselves.

As for everyone else... They were better off staying as far away as possible, just as no Rank One or Rank Two being would casually wander into a battlefield where Sein was fighting.

“The overlord battlefield is truly overwhelming. This is a forbidden zone for low-level lifeforms. Every time I have the privilege of observing an overlord battle, whether from near or far, I can’t help but be deeply moved.”

Inside the cockpit of the planetary fortress, Sein gazed at the terrifying upheaval of laws on the distant horizon and sighed in amazement.

The recording functions of both the Faceless Mask and the planetary fortress beneath his feet had long since begun capturing everything before his eyes.

Some Rank Six beings in remote worlds could spend their entire lives without ever witnessing the majesty of an overlord. Because of that, they lacked both the drive and the direction to climb higher.

Compared to them, one of Sein’s greatest blessings was that he had been able to witness true power while still at a relatively early stage. The resplendent majesty of those overlords gave him a direction for both research and growth.

On this civilizational battlefield, more and more powerhouses from the Magus Civilization were rapidly rising just like Sein, earning the label of “genius”. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why.

“Master Sein, the Dawn Empire has notified us to prepare for entry into the battlefield below,” the Rank Five God of Black Mist said, stepping forward respectfully. “The Dawn Imperial Military has advised us to enter through the Western Continent battlefield of this lage-sized world.”

This Rank Five deity had also been growing rapidly of late.

Although his homeplane had once been overrun by Sein, and frequent wars had left the God of Black Mist covered in wounds and badly drained of divine power, he had still gained quite a bit from recent campaigns.

Through the Arriba Chamber of Commerce, he had managed to acquire several rare items unique to the Magus Alliance market.

For example, the mid-grade divine artifact he was currently wielding clearly bore traces of the forging style characteristic of Titan World within the Magus Alliance.

Sein had also bestowed many restorative potions upon him.

Sein had always been rather generous to his own people. He was a mage who adhered to the principle of equivalent exchange. As long as the God of Black Mist and his subordinate deities could prove their worth, Sein would reward them accordingly.

Mages like Sein were actually quite rare throughout the Magus Civilization.

After all, even other law-wielding mages who also upheld the principle of equivalent exchange might not necessarily treat foreign gods from the Magus Alliance this well.

Exploitation, manipulation, and contempt were still the prevailing attitudes among the knights and mages of the Magus Civilization toward beings from other worlds.

After listening to the God of Black Mist’s report, Sein looked down toward the Western Continent below.

Divine Descendants World was vast. It consisted of more than a dozen landmasses large enough to be called continents, each larger than an ordinary medium-sized plane.

The Western Continent mentioned by the God of Black Mist referred to the landmass west of Overgod Marduk’s temple, which served as the central axis of this world.

It was also the largest landmass in Divine Descendants World.

Within Sein’s line of sight, vast Insectoid legions had already spread across the Western Continent.

However, this large-scale interplanar war would clearly not end quickly. The resistance within Divine Descendants World was extremely tenacious.

On top of that, a considerable number of Divine Descendants legions were stationed there, while some law-wielding powerhouses from Myriad Manifestations World had also successfully fled into this large-sized world.

Therefore, the war on the Western Continent was far from over.

Once the elite forces of the Raging Tiger Army, led by Sein and Gongsun Wudi, entered the region, battle would erupt immediately.

Sein nodded. “All right. Then let us enter the Western Continent!”

At his command, the planetary fortress he was aboard began adjusting its position. Its bow tilted downward, and in the next moment, the entire fortress plunged into a violent descent.

A powerful sense of weightlessness swept through the vessel.

In addition to Sein’s planetary fortress, Ximen Feixiao was also nearby with a portion of the Dawn Empire’s legions.

From the beginning of the war in the Divine Descendants Star Domain until now, Ximen Feixiao had been fighting alongside Sein.

The moment Sein set out, the Dawn Empire legions under Ximen Feixiao’s command hurried after him.

Meanwhile, the Raging Tiger Army led by Gongsun Wudi was descending even faster than Sein!

A vast number of legions once again entered Divine Descendants World from beyond the plane.

As they passed through the thick, shattered planar barrier, many Rank Five and Rank Six powerhouses, Sein included, could not help but marvel once more. Just what kind of colossal being had shattered such a barrier?

The legions led by Sein and his companions were not the only ones pouring into Divine Descendants World.

Other Dawn Empire legions, each carrying specific combat orders, had already headed toward other continental regions, including the Eastern Continent.

The offensive campaign of this massive interplanar war was far grander and more protracted than any battle on a medium-sized plane.

Aside from the three overlord battlefields, where victory, defeat, life, and death would be decided, conquering the middle and lower-level beings of this vast plane was no small undertaking.

In this large-sized world, faith was its greatest strength. At the same time, it was also the thing the invading forces, including Sein and the Dawn Empire, feared the most.

“Is that where the Empress of Blades and the Divine Descendant Overgod are fighting?”

Through the translucent barrier of the planetary fortress, Sein gazed down at the heart of the continent, toward the area where Overgod Marduk’s temple stood, and murmured to himself.

From his vantage point, he could not even make out how the battle was unfolding below.

A massive, pitch-black colossus completely obscured the entire battlefield.

Its immense mass and gravitational pull were so overwhelming that as it hovered at the center of the battlefield. Shattered temple ruins and enormous boulders below were constantly being pulled upward.

Sein was already aware that the coordinates of many planes surrounding the Divine Descendants World had shifted, so he was somewhat numb to such sights by now.

Even so, the dense, chaotic black tentacles and the surging tide of death still made this colossus the most terrifying presence in the entire Divine Descendants World!

Beneath that pitch-black silhouette, Sein could only vaguely make out a red mist of law clashing with deep azure-gold divine light.

In the end, however, the divine light grew increasingly dim and feeble, while the deep crimson mist of law grew denser and denser, until it completely overshadowed the other’s radiance.

Sein let out a sigh. “I would love to observe the battle there... but I still need to become stronger.”
