Chapter 326: Curtain Falls, New Birth!

Under the blood‑red dusk.

A terrifying source‑energy storm vortex swept over two‑thirds of the Stone Demon Statue Empire's capital, intertwining the Realms of Reality, Spirit, Shadow, and Dream completely.

The capital of the Stone Demon Statue Empire has fallen, and its world‑class ecological realm is likely doomed as well.

After all, there are no massive atmospheric steam towers here, nor the wondrous creature Shenglande that itself is the result of millennia of accumulation.

The ecology here is far more fragile than imagined.

The curtain‑falling dusk interwove with a blood‑vapor mist, reflecting on everyone's faces as if each were bathed in the glow of a sea of blood.

Holy Archbishop Aristotle looked toward Ta Ke with solemn seriousness.

Although the Holy Archbishop lacks eyes, this scrutiny placed immense pressure on Ta Ke.

A moment later, Aristotle smiled and said.

"Divine Favored One, Your Highness, your talent is so lofty that even within the Three‑Eyed God·Holy Spirit Empire it is an extremely rare existence."

"And within the vast Three‑Eyed God Holy Spirit Empire, those truly Super Talents."

"Ninth‑Tier Slash Master, no question."

"And Divine Favored One, Your Highness, your talent is by no means weaker than those Super Talents that shine over the boundless Super Sea of Stars."

"Both I and the two Holy Crowns, though not lacking in strength, have abilities that are merely the sediment of time, hardly worth mentioning."

"The two Holy Crowns' strength is truly formidable, after all their cultivation spans less than a hundred years."

"Yet compared to those genuine Super Talents, there remains a considerable gap."

"Divine Favored One, Your Highness, with dedicated cultivation you will most likely ascend to Chao Shen Da Shi within a hundred years."

"Even if you do not ascend to Chao Shen Da Shi, your strength will not be weaker than that of an ordinary Chao Shen Da Shi."

"When that time comes, even the sum of a few of us may truly not be your match, Divine Favored One."

As Holy Archbishop Aristotle's narration continued.

Those nearby could not help casting envious glances.

Sixth Tier is already the limit for many Super beings.

And many high‑tier Super beings find further advancement fraught with countless obstacles.

Chao Shen Da Shi?

That is something one would never even dare to imagine.

According to Super theory, when even reaching high tiers feels arduous, becoming a Chao Shen Da Shi is essentially hopeless.

Nevertheless, for many, attaining a high tier already places them at the pinnacle of a segment of the Super world.

As for higher dimensions, that is the realm of true super geniuses.

Undoubtedly.

Divine Favored One Ta Ke Lamor.

He is indeed such a true super genius.

Compared with Holy Archbishop Aristotle's praise, Ta Ke cares more about the affairs of the many talents within the Super world.

The Super Talents of the outside world truly are as Aristotle said.

Can one become a Ninth‑Tier Slash Master?

However, asking about the Super Talents of the outside Super world is better directed to Pu Te·Ya Bo.

After all, he himself is a genius, having usurped the body, talent, and aptitude of an S‑rank Super talent, and has fused his own innate gifts.

Their host sect's purpose is to seek out Super talents and then occupy them.

Obviously, they understand "Super talents" better.

"Who is this?"

Holy Archbishop Aristotle noticed the "Pu Te·Ya Bo" standing beside Ta Ke and asked with slight curiosity.

Holy Archbishop Aristotle sensed both Mo Lei·Shen Ting's aura and Dark Sun's aura from the other, while also standing beside Divine Favored One Ta Ke, appearing in a free dark‑state rather than as an enslaved captive.

That composition... is rather complex.

"He is the Eastern Continent's super genius Pu Te·Ya Bo."

"The one who once on the Eastern Continent possessed S‑rank Super talent."

When Ta Ke spoke, the surrounding erupted in a sudden uproar.

The super genius with S‑rank Super talent Pu Te·Ya Bo, born on the Eastern Continent over twenty years ago, was naturally known to the assembled strongmen like a rolling thunder.

Among them, many had once plotted to assassinate this S‑rank Super talent, lest he bring disaster to the Western Continent in the future.

Never could they have imagined.

Today.

On the stage where numerous strongmen gathered to eradicate the Stone Demon Statue Empire in a war of annihilation.

The super genius Pu Te·Ya Bo indeed appeared.

But he stood on their side.

It was not merely absurd, it was wildly unrestrained absurdity.

No wonder the crowd reacted so intensely.

"Everyone."

At this moment, Pu Te·Ya Bo spoke in a clear voice.

"Although I was born on the Eastern Continent, I despise its deeds and refuse to go along with them."

"A few days ago, when I clashed with the Divine Favored One, we cooperated."

"Now, the Stone Demon Statue Empire is our common enemy."

Many of the strong ones have come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Of course, such an excuse is taken with half‑belief, half‑doubt.

But anyway, one fewer seventh‑rank enemy is always better than one more.

In the current situation, remaining neutral is already quite good.

At that moment.

Boom—…

From deep within the colossal primordial energy storm that pierces heaven and earth came a tremor that sent shivers through everyone.

"All personnel, retreat! The stone‑demon statue sovereign Ferdinand Felix is about to explode."

Archbishop Ya Lishi Duode said briskly.

The wording was concise and straightforward.

But Ta Ke quickly understood.

Archbishop Ya Lishi Duode's words were indeed true.

When everyone left.

After retreating a few kilometers.

Boom—…

Boom—…

It was as if a shackles imbued with ancient mysterious power were slowly being opened, and a great beast strained to break free.

The storm over the capital royal city rang like war drums, booming loudly.

Even a hundred kilometers away, it could be heard clearly.

Then, immediately!

Boom——Rumble——

Like a volcanic plume of black flood, it roared toward the firmament.

The sky, which had been a blood‑red dusk, was instantly splashed with thick ink.

It turned swiftly dark and oppressive, mixed with grotesque roars, terrifying whispers, and a maddening distortion that made the scalp tingle.

Just observing it made hearts pound wildly.

Moreover, this dreadful contamination was spreading rapidly.

Seeing this, the once‑leisurely group all drew their techniques and sprinted outward.

Flying flight.

Teleporting teleport.

If that still failed, they would boost themselves, legs pounding fiercely.

This was clearly a power brought from the Chaotic Ancient Ruins.

In the ordinary transcendent world, releasing such power from the Chaotic Ancient Ruins causes massive disasters and pollution.

It would take the transcendent world decades, even centuries, to cleanse.

After the group ran another twenty‑to‑thirty kilometers outward.

Only then did the distortion‑pollution trend reach its limit.

Yet from afar, the earth and the firmament had already been thoroughly permeated by the contamination.

Within a hundred kilometers of Fang Yuan, in the coming decades it will likely become a death‑zone inaccessible to ordinary people and ordinary transcendent cultivators.

"Things from this Chaotic Ancient Continent might not be that dangerous after all!"

Ta Ke examined the writhing distortion disaster and said softly.

"Otherwise, why do so many go to the Chaotic Ancient Continent seeking a breakthrough?"

"Within danger lie treasures and top‑grade resources."

Lei Ya Ge said slowly from beside him.

"That's true!"

Ta Ke nodded, silently weighing his thoughts.

"If one were to steadily idle in those wondrous places of the Chaotic Ancient Continent for three to five hundred years, who knows what effect it would have."

As Ta Ke's thoughts drifted.

"Everyone…"

Archbishop Ya Lishi Duode suddenly spoke.

"The Battle of the Stone Demon Statue Capital has ended, but the war plan to eradicate the Stone Demon Statue Empire has only just begun."

"Next, following the previous team assignments and the earlier advancement plan, within the next three to six months we will eliminate all Dark Sun forces and resisting forces."

The many strong cultivators gathered their minds and began to obey the orders.

In the second stage, we will exterminate the remaining Dark Sun Church forces and the stubborn remnants of the Stone Demon Statue Empire.

This period may take a long time.

Yet, the Stone Demon Statue Empire now resembles a blood‑stained dusk about to fall; no matter how it struggles, it cannot change its inevitable fate of collapse and death.

In its place, the forces of Sai Li Ang Si and the Three‑Eyed Divine Church will usher in a new glorious era in the Ao Gu Twin‑Stars Transcendent World!
