Chapter 60: Divine Sovereign

The starry sky was Dead Silence, and all things were frozen.

The Immortal of the Fate Heavenly Realm let out a roar full of resentment, poison, and murderous intent, like billions of ice needles piercing every living being's eardrums and their souls!

That blade, entwined with endless Fate Threads and condensed with the Immortal Great Power's raging fury and judgment will, hung high above the Nine Heavens, locked onto Ye Wuque, bearing a terrifying might that would annihilate everything and sever causality, and it crashed down with a roar!

Before the Judgment Blade truly touched his body, the Void surrounding Ye Wuque, ten thousand zhang wide, had already turned into an absolute dead zone; the laws collapsed, Space reverted to primordial Chaos, and even the light was devoured and twisted by that terrifying murderous intent.

A sense of Great Terror and utter despair spread, causing all the Heavenly Pride heroes who witnessed the scene to have their hearts and courage shattered, their souls trembling and wailing.

"It's over! Ye Wuque is finished!"

A successor of the ancient Dao tradition turned pale, muttering to himself, his eyes full of regret and terror.

"When the Immortal rages, a hundred billion corpses fall, and the Star River shatters!"

"Moreover, the Immortal of the Fate Heavenly Realm personally intervenes and locks on… this is a death‑bound situation, with no chance of survival!"

"What a pity! Such a dazzling prodigy, the Ancient Forbidden Monster that surpasses the invincible of the Divine Tomb, is about to perish here! If given time to grow, it would surely become a towering titan standing atop the Zhutian Wanjie!"

Someone clutched their wrist and sighed, unable to watch further.

"What is his true background? If he hails from a great power, there might still be a sliver of hope, with an Immortal of equal rank stepping in… but looking at the present, General Bian and the elders of the Ethereal Heavenly Realm have both remained silent… I fear…"

More people shook their heads, already foreseeing Ye Wuque's tragic end—blood splattering the starry sky, his Body and Spirit Annihilation.

Before the Immortal Great Power's absolute might, the so‑called Ancient Forbidden Monster talent and Defying Heaven Combat Power seemed utterly pale and feeble.

Duan Xiuluo's eyes were about to burst, his anxiety at its peak!

His entire being's Divine Power burned wildly, trying to break through the invisible pressure's shackles, even if only to buy Ye Wuque a sliver of breathing room!

But the gap between him and the Immortal Great Power was far too vast; that terrifying pressure pressed on his shoulders like the weight of the entire universe, no matter how he strained, even burning his Primordial, he could not move an inch, instead being reverberated to cough up blood, his complexion pale, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair.

This is the border of the War God Heavenly Realm; the strong ones of his Xiuluo Divine Hall could not arrive in an instant, and he could only watch helplessly as his close friend fell into a death‑trap!

On the other side, Bian Haoyu's face tightened as he hurriedly transmitted words to the old general beside him, Bian Xingyu:

"Ancestor! Brother Ye, in the Divine Tomb, has shown us great kindness and is a once‑in‑eons unparalleled talent! Please, Ancestor, consider…"

General Bian Xingyu's expression turned complex, a flicker of struggle flashing in his eyes, then he let out a silent sigh and slowly shook his head.

Intervening in the Fate Heavenly Realm's Immortal Great Power's personal vendetta over a fallen child involves causality too great, possibly sparking friction between the two Supreme Heavenly Realms; he cannot, for the sake of an admired junior, drag the entire War God Residence into an unpredictable vortex.

In fact, there was one crucial point he hadn't mentioned: the vast Fate Heavenly Realm's Fate Divine Mountain is merely one of the many branches of the Fate Divine Sect of the Nine Heavens!

If this were to anger the entire Fate Divine Sect, even the War God Residence that reigns over a Supreme Heavenly Realm would face a genuine cataclysm!

The old monsters at the Fate Divine Sect Headquarters, whose ultimate foundation lets them overlook the ages without perishing, are not something the War God Residence can possibly behold!

Thus, Bian Xingyu was apprehensive! He fell silent!

The same situation occurred in the direction of the Ethereal Heavenly Realm; the Ethereal Holy Maiden's celestial light trembled slightly, her cool voice tinged with urgency as she told the immortal beauty beside her something.

The beauty of the Ethereal Heavenly Realm's gaze flickered, her look at Ye Wuque filled with obvious regret, but in the end she only gently patted the Ethereal Holy Maiden's shoulder, her surrounding celestial light growing more hazy, choosing to stay out of the matter.

And the Immortal Titan of the Manggong Heavenly Realm, seeing no one step forward for Ye Wuque, wore an increasingly ferocious, coldly mocking smile, even crossing his arms as if enjoying a splendid drama, looking forward to the scene of Ye Wuque being ground into powder.

Ye Wuque's severe blow to the young generation of the Manggong Heavenly Realm entering the Eternal Divine Tomb this time meant that if this youth died, much of the malice in his heart would be relieved.

Above the Nine Heavens, the Immortal of the Fate Heavenly Realm took in everything, seeing no one dare to resist, his face bearing a cold murderous intent mixed with a lofty indifference and cruelty.

"Ant! Do you see? This is the fate of angering Fate and defying the Immortal! No one can save you! Your destiny was already decided… only… Body and Spirit Annihilation!"

"Die!"

The divine might of the Judgment Blade fully erupted, turning into a ultimate ray that pierced the cosmos, adjudicating life and death, and it fell decisively!

Its speed, faster than thought, locked onto all of Ye Wuque's aura; there was no evasion, no defense!

Ye Wuque's black robe was torn by the terrifying edge into countless holes, fine cracks appearing on his body's surface, his golden Blood Qi bubbling autonomously in resistance, yet like a candle in a gale, it could be extinguished at any moment.

His heart hammered violently, an unprecedented shadow of death enveloping him completely, an absolute suppression stemming from the level of life!

In an instant, Ye Wuque felt an unprecedented death crisis!

The Execution Saint and Immortal Slaying Pill cannot be used now; given the situation, only one option remains, that is… a raging surge!

After all, one can defeat the War God, but not a raging surge!

"Could it be… that we truly have to resort to the Escape Realm Void‑Breaking Talisman?"

"Unless absolutely necessary, I truly don't want to play this card…"

Ye Wuque thought silently, his mind quietly sensing the Escape Realm Void‑Breaking Talisman, preparing to activate it.

This is the only way to survive right now!

Even though the cost is huge, possibly being randomly teleported to the cosmic Border Wasteland or even some desolate realms, it's still better than dying here instantly!

However, just as Ye Wuque was about to risk everything and trigger the Escape Realm Void‑Breaking Talisman at the very last moment—

A sudden anomaly erupted!

Boom！！！！！！！！！

An indescribably terrifying aura, one in a hundred million, erupted without warning from deep within the entrance of the Eternal Divine Tomb, which had been slowly calming.

The moment this aura appeared, the vast starry sky and billions of stars all dimmed sharply at once!

It seemed as if a supreme being that had slept for endless epochs, overlooking Wan Gu Lun Hui, awakened a fragment of will at this moment!

The once indestructible Eternal Divine Tomb, which had stood for ages of eternity, under the slight ripple of this aura could not even sustain a ten‑thousandth of a moment, like ice and snow thrown into scorching sun, silently… began to vanish and collapse!

In an instant, it completely… returned to void!

Countless fragments of Divine Tombs, seals, spatial layers, along with lingering ancient malevolent qi and unspent heroic spirit wills, all turned into primal particle streams at that moment, then were assimilated and absorbed by the aura.

Immediately thereafter, under the stunned gazes of everyone, including the four Immortal Great Powers, at the core of the Divine Tomb where the Shenzun Dao Fruit once lay in the ancient hall, a vague, twisted, phantom seemed formed from endless Chaos Qi, ancient Star Remains, and unknowable law runes, slowly rose.

The phantom was towering and majestic, somewhat translucent, its form indistinct, with only a pair of eyes…

What a terrifying pair of eyes they were?

They seemed to contain the universe's birth and death, the origin and end of myriad paths, endless time and space flowing within, the flames of countless worlds' civilizations flickering and fading in their depths.

World‑worn, ancient, dignified, indifferent, yet with a hint of a lazy air as if having seen through the eons of splendor…

At the very moment this unfathomable phantom appeared, a faint, sleepy‑like chuckle, laced with endless mockery and indifference, rang clearly into the deepest part of every living soul:

"Hehe… Fate Divine Sect… quite imposing indeed…"

"A mere Immortal… an ant that hasn't even walked the path of the Marquis Realm… dares to strike at the one I cherish?"

"Interesting… truly interesting…"

The voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to contain the supreme law's decree!

The moment the words fell—

The Fate Judgment Blade, which originally bore the power to destroy heaven and earth, could easily slash stars and judge all living beings beneath the Immortal, at a point less than three inches above Ye Wuque's head, was as if erased by an invisible giant hand like a brushstroke of ink—no sound, no energy ripple, simply… vanished into thin air!

As if it had never existed!

Even the Immortal pressure that locked onto Ye Wuque, crushing the whole starry sky as if it would shatter, instantly dissipated without a trace!

The sudden turn of events plunged the entire scene into an extreme, eerie Dead Silence!

All living beings, from Immortal great powers down to ordinary Heavenly Pride, were all stunned!

The brain went blank, utterly unable to comprehend everything happening before them!

What is that?

Who is that voice?

The Judgment Blade… how did it just disappear?

Especially the Immortal of the Fate Heaven Realm, whose sneering grin and murderous intent froze instantly, replaced by an extreme bewilderment, astonishment, and a hint… of an uncontrollable tremor and fear emanating from deep within the soul!

The full‑force strike he unleashed, imbued with his comprehension of the Law of Destiny, vanished silently like this?

Even he himself could not perceive how it was neutralized!

How could this be possible?!

He snapped his head around, fixing his bewildered gaze onto the unfathomable void shadow that rose from the collapsing Divine Tomb, his Divine Sense scanning wildly, trying to discern its origin.

Yet his Divine Sense was like a mud ox sinking into the sea—utterly unable to grasp any trace of the shadow's reality, but instead he sensed from it an indescribable, supreme, as if the source of all laws… ancient and great!

Combining the shadow's location with that infinitely ancient, profound pressure, a name long sealed within the oldest scriptures of the Fate Divine Sect, a name almost regarded as myth, thundered like millions of bolts, exploding in his mind!

Boom—!

His divine soul trembled wildly!

His Dark Heart quivered violently!

His body, even beyond his control, began to shiver slightly!

Not only him!

Almost simultaneously, the veteran general Bian Xingyu of the War God Heaven Realm, the beautiful Immortal of the Ethereal Heaven Realm, and even the Immortal Titan of the Wild Heaven Realm who had been watching like a spectator, all seemed to recall something terribly frightening yet utterly unbelievable, their faces suddenly changing dramatically!

Their pupils, without exception, contracted violently to the size of a needle tip, their faces filled with unprecedented shock, disbelief, and a… subconscious awe and dread when confronting a supreme being!

"Senior… senior… are you… could you be…?"

The Immortal's voice from the Fate Heaven Realm was extremely hoarse, trembling violently, barely able to utter a full sentence, as he stared fixedly at the shadow.

"That… the legendary… whose achievements shaped creation… Shenzun senior?!"
