Chapter 1494: The Supreme Sovereign Descends! Ye Li Reports Her Achievements!

"Jingming! You're amazing!"

Yue Ying lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Xu Jingming.

"Thank you—you've saved our lives."

Luo Li and the others also walked over.

Leading them, Luo Li spoke with serious expression.

"Our matter is minor; what matters is what's happening with the mentor."

Xu Jingming took Yue Ying's small hand and shook his head.

Then he tilted his head upward, gazing at the starry sky.

Hearing this, Luo Li and the others followed his gaze.

Indeed.

If the Blood Wolf Sovereign cannot hold back,

even killing those few Cosmic-stage beasts would be useless.

In the starry sky, the battle had already reached a fever pitch!

Ye Li wore a long black gown, her figure slender like ink bamboo.

She flickered and darted endlessly through the infinite stars, each swing of her jet-black sword unleashing a dark blade-light that tore through the Milky Way!

Her swordplay was not flamboyant, yet it reached the utmost sharpness—each strike aimed directly at the Blood Wolf Sovereign's vital points!

Where the blade-light passed, space shattered inch by inch, and the laws of nature screamed in agony!

Even more shocking was that Ye Li was subtly gaining the upper hand!

"Good! Jingming has dealt with the Cosmic-stage beasts."

Even while battling the Sovereign-stage beast,

Ye Li had been constantly diverting attention to Xu Jingming's side.

There was no choice.

Xu Jingming was simply too important.

In three years, he rose from Starlight Peak to become the top Cosmic-stage cultivator!

This was unheard of.

Her original plan was, should Xu Jingming fall into crisis,

even at the risk of exposing herself to the Blood Wolf Sovereign's counterattack, she would rescue him first.

Fortunately,

Xu Jingming gave her a surprise.

He slew three Cosmic-stage beasts alone!

"This combat power is rare even in the history of the Eternal Star Alliance."

"But since my little brother has won, I can't fall behind..."

Ye Li's gaze sharpened.

She stopped paying attention to Xu Jingming's side and focused all her spiritual energy into the battle.

Instantly, the Blood Wolf Sovereign felt his pressure double!

"Damn! Damn humans!"

The Blood Wolf Sovereign roared in fury.

Blood light exploded around him as he tried to counterattack.

But he was utterly suppressed by Ye Li's ghostlike speed and razor-sharp blade-light!

He, a Sovereign-stage beast, was being suppressed by a mere Immortal-stage human!

Shame!

Utter shame!

Worse still, the royal-blooded ancestor he was meant to retrieve was already dead!

That meant, if he failed to kill this human prodigy, he would gain nothing.

He would have intruded into human territory for nothing—and might even face pursuit by human Sovereigns!

"No more delays!"

The Blood Wolf Sovereign's eyes blazed with murderous light.

The blood light around him suddenly retracted, as if preparing some terrifying technique.

Yet, just as he was about to unleash his trump card,

a calm voice, brimming with boundless majesty, echoed through the entire starry sky as if rising from the universe's very origin:

"Beast race vermin, how dare you invade human territory?"

The moment the words fell, the Blood Wolf Sovereign's face turned pale!

"A human Sovereign? How could one arrive so fast?!"

Without the slightest hesitation, blood light exploded around him.

He transformed into a crimson streak piercing the cosmos, fleeing wildly into the depths of space!

Sovereign-stage experts could traverse hundreds of millions of kilometers in a single thought.

If determined to flee, even peers could not stop them.

Yet, the instant his form became a blood streak, he slammed into an invisible wall and froze in place!

No—it wasn't a wall.

The entire space had been utterly solidified by an indescribably terrifying force!

On the handsome face of the Blood Wolf Sovereign, shock and utter terror appeared for the first time.

He struggled desperately, bloodlight raging wildly around him, yet not even the slightest tremor could be made in the solidified space!

It was as if an invisible giant hand had clenched him, along with the space spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, within its palm!

And in this frozen starry expanse, a figure slowly descended.

He was a burly man clad in golden battle armor.

His stature was not particularly tall—barely over two meters.

Yet he gave the impression of holding up the entire starry sky.

The surface of his golden armor flowed with radiance like liquid sunlight.

Each plate was engraved with intricate, ancient runes, emitting an aura of eternal indestructibility.

His face was rugged, as if carved by a blade; his eyes burned like twin stars.

Wherever his gaze fell, even starlight dimmed.

He simply floated there in the starry void, making no extra movement, unleashing no aura.

Yet the moment he descended, the entire starry expanse seemed to bow before him!

The stars ceased their motion, their light ceased to flicker, even time itself seemed to slow.

An indescribable terror, as if originating from the universe's very source,

spread like an invisible tide, silent and unseen.

It was not killing intent, nor battle fury.

It was a supreme majesty, towering above all things, wielding life and death, gazing down upon all beings!

Before this majesty, even the mighty Blood Wolf Sovereign

became like an ant crawling in the dust, stripped of even the right to struggle.

"This is..."

On Blood Refining Star, Xu Jingming froze in surprise.

Even across boundless starry distances, he still felt that soul-shaking terror!

Stronger than Sister Yeli, stronger than the Blood Wolf Sovereign—by more than a single tier!

This was unquestionably a top-tier Sovereign!

And beside him, Louis, Kate, Farah, and others—

after a brief stunned silence, their faces simultaneously lit up with ecstatic joy!

"Radiance Sovereign! It's Radiance Sovereign!"

"Our Supreme Sovereign of the God-Slaying Martial Temple! He has come in person!"

"Wonderful! Now we're completely safe!"

"..."

Cheers erupted like a tidal wave.

Xu Jingming's gaze sharpened.

Supreme Sovereign—no wonder he possessed such overwhelming might.

Instantly, his tensed nerves relaxed completely.

Indeed, with a Supreme Sovereign's arrival, they could rest easy.

In the starry void,

Radiance Sovereign slowly lifted his gaze, fixing it on the frozen Blood Wolf Sovereign, and spoke calmly:

"Beast Sovereign, you intruded into our race's territory and slaughtered our people... do you know your crime?"

His voice was not loud.

Yet it rang like the judgment of cosmic law—each word bore a majesty towering above all things.

The Blood Wolf Sovereign's face turned ashen; his lips trembled, yet not a single word could escape him.

Before Radiance Sovereign, he lacked even the right to speak.

Radiance Sovereign did not wait for an answer.

He simply raised his right hand, fingers gently closing.

The next instant—

Boom!

The Blood Wolf Sovereign's frozen body in the starry void shattered like porcelain crushed by an invisible fist, exploding violently!

No great commotion—only a muffled thud, and a shower of crimson light particles drifting everywhere.

A Beast Sovereign vanished without a sound, his body and soul utterly obliterated.

Radiance Sovereign slowly retracted his hand, as if he had merely done something trivial.

Then he turned to Yeli and smiled:

"At the Immortal Stage, you already possess Sovereign-level combat power.

Shuangmian is truly fortunate to have a disciple like you.

Had it not been for you, our race's top young geniuses would have been wiped out this time."

As he spoke the last words, his tone carried a chilling killing intent.

A Beast Sovereign had descended and nearly annihilated all of our race's finest Star Stage prodigies!

This matter is far from over.

"Thank you, Radiance Lord, for your praise."

Yeli sheathed her longsword, bowed slightly, then continued:

But this isn't just my achievement; just now, three Cosmic-tier beasts rampaged across Bloodforge Star.

If Xu Jingming hadn't slain them, our human race's top few Stellar-tier prodigies might already be dead.

Xu Jingming is her junior disciple.

Before this Supreme Sovereign, Ye Li naturally did not forget to credit her junior disciple.
