Chapter 126: Chaos Qi
Even though the Primordial Kings could project the forbidden land into countless lesser worlds, they were still prisoners of their own burial ground, suppressed by its supreme power.
On top of that, their true bodies remained in the Infinite Realms.
What had appeared in the Celestial Arc Realm were only projections.
Against ordinary lower world cultivators, even immortals might not dare provoke them.
But Caelum was different.
With his cultivation and the star cutting power of Bladeleaf, he had no reason to fear the projected shadows of the Primordial Kings.
No matter how powerful those projections were, they were still limited to the power level of a lower world immortal.
What was there to fear?
The Worldbreaker Divine Physique facing the Primordial Kings.
It was as though an ancient scene had crossed countless ages and reappeared within the River of Time.
No more words were needed.
Boom!
The forbidden land shook as though heaven and earth were collapsing.
The battle erupted instantly.
Caelum swept Bladeleaf forward.
Supreme sword light slashed toward the shadows of the kings.
The terrifying Sword Intent nearly split the entire forbidden land in half and forced the phantoms of the kings back ten thousand miles.
"Worldbreaker Divine Physique!"
One ancient king roared and charged forward.
A pair of horns could be vaguely seen on his head as he raised a violent tide of World Essence, attempting to overpower Caelum through brute force.
Buzz!
The divine phenomena of Caelum’s hidden vaults blazed with light.
The Perfect Grand Cycle resonated with the power of heaven and earth.
Within each Grand Cycle, mountains, rivers, sun, and moon appeared, suppressing the ancient king’s might in one stroke.
The vast momentum of heaven and earth came crashing down.
Caelum pressed his palm forward.
"Suppress."
Boom!
The entire forbidden land seemed as if it were about to be driven beneath the Celestial Arc Realm.
Huge ravines tore across the earth, spreading rapidly beyond the forbidden land itself.
Inside the forbidden land, the battle shook the world.
Caelum fought alone against many, relying on the might of the Worldbreaker Divine Physique and Bladeleaf to clash with the projected shadows of the Primordial Kings.
Mountains and rivers collapsed.
Sun and moon seemed to dim.
Outside the forbidden land.
The gathered cultivators felt the terrifying power pouring out from within, and fear nearly shattered their souls.
None of them understood what was happening inside.
"Who is fighting in the forbidden land?!"
"Could it be immortals? How else could there be such world shaking power?"
Countless cultivators fled from the forbidden land as though running for their lives.
From a distance, they could see mountains collapsing and the earth splitting apart within the forbidden land.
It looked as if heaven and earth had been overturned.
The power inside could destroy the world.
"Hey, can someone tell me what is going on?"
Rocks rolled down the mountain.
Torin, still suppressed beneath it, had no idea what was happening in the forbidden land.
Clang!
A sword light of absolute brilliance shot into the sky.
It broke through the restraint of the forbidden land and pierced into the galaxy beyond the heavens.
With one slash, stars were destroyed.
The galaxy itself was cut apart.
"The galaxy..."
"It was severed!"
Outside the forbidden land, every sword cried out, submitting to that supreme Sword Intent.
The minds of the gathered cultivators trembled violently.
At this point, they were not merely wondering whether this was a battle between immortals.
They strongly suspected that even if immortals dared interfere, they would perish beneath that sword light.
Its power was simply too terrifying.
"Worldbreaker Divine Physique!"
The roar of the Primordial Kings echoed beyond the forbidden land and rang in the ears of every cultivator.
They looked at one another, confused.
Worldbreaker Divine Physique?
Then their spirits shook.
"Could the one fighting inside the forbidden land be a Worldbreaker Physique?"
But had a Worldbreaker Physique appeared in the Celestial Arc Realm?
Before anyone could continue guessing, the sky erupted again.
Boom!
Terrifying shadows emerged above the forbidden land.
They seemed to carry the heavens on their backs and stand upon the mountains and earth.
Caelum stood before them, Bladeleaf swaying in his palm.
His hidden vault divine powers battled the kings.
Vast power pressed down in every direction.
The sky itself seemed ready to collapse.
The pupils of the gathered cultivators contracted violently.
They were horrified beyond words.
"That’s the Divine Firmament Heir!"
"Who are those terrifying phantoms?"
"With that kind of power, has the Divine Firmament Heir and those phantoms all become immortals?"
"..."
Lady Moonveil was even more shaken.
She knew the Divine Firmament Heir’s cultivation was extraordinary, but she had never imagined his strength could be this terrifying.
"He is definitely not in the Immortal Realm," Lady Moonveil murmured.
Torin stared up at the sky.
His expression went blank.
Buzz.
Clouds across thousands of miles were blown apart.
Caelum’s Perfect Grand Cycle fully manifested.
The phenomena of his hidden vaults reflected across the heavens.
In one hand, he held Bladeleaf.
In the other, he unleashed the divine power of suppression.
Heaven and earth trembled.
Infinite power came crashing down.
With the most domineering and unstoppable force, Caelum drove the projected shadows of the Primordial Kings back into the forbidden land in a single strike.
Boom!
Caelum stood in the void.
The sky seemed to rest behind him.
The kings were suppressed beneath his might.
His back alone gave off a suffocating pressure, as though he could single handedly suppress an entire glorious age.
Everyone stared at him from afar.
No one dared speak.
Only after Caelum reentered the forbidden land did they finally breathe again.
Inside the forbidden land.
The battle came to an end.
The projected shadows of the kings lay across the ruined ground, pinned beneath Caelum’s feet and unable to move.
Their true bodies were not in the Celestial Arc Realm.
Destroying the projections would serve no real purpose.
The kings roared in hatred.
"Worldbreaker Divine Physique! One day, we will sacrifice your entire bloodline at Immortal Execution Grounds!"
"Immortal Execution Grounds?"
Caelum’s voice turned cold.
"You want to be dragged through Immortal Execution Grounds again?"
The kings erupted in fury.
"Do not rely only on your tongue, Worldbreaker Divine Physique. If you have the courage, come to the Infinite Realms and step into Eternal Vale!"
"Heh."
Caelum chuckled softly, calm and unconcerned.
"If you have the ability, walk out of Eternal Vale yourselves and descend into this world to fight me in person."
If the Primordial Kings could walk out of the forbidden land, they would not need to go through so much trouble projecting the Eternal Forbidden Lands across countless worlds.
They were doing all this precisely because they wanted to break free from the forbidden land’s suppression.
"Enough pointless talk. I came here today to ask you for something. I know you won’t give it to me, so I’ll take it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the forbidden land was thrown into chaos.
Rumble!
The Eternal Vale projected into the Celestial Arc Realm was nearly flipped over by Caelum.
The kings roared and howled without end.
Their rage and hatred spread beyond the forbidden land, making the gathered cultivators outside feel a strange sense of sympathy.
None of them knew what kind of torment the Primordial Kings were suffering.
Buzz.
Caelum activated his hidden vault divine power and suppressed the projected kings.
Then he forcibly extracted a strand of Chaos Qi from their bodies.
The projections of the kings immediately collapsed and vanished.
Only as they dispersed did the Primordial Kings finally understand what Caelum had been after.
Unfortunately, they understood too late.
If they had never descended in the first place, Caelum might not have been able to obtain this strand of Chaos Qi.
A wisp of gray and misty energy curled around Caelum’s palm.
Joy appeared on his face.
Without hesitation, he absorbed it into his body and used this strand of Chaos Qi to perfect his Perfect Grand Cycle.
At last, the forbidden land returned to peace.
Caelum remained completely unafraid.
Bladeleaf floated in the air, swaying gently in the wind.
He sat down where he was and began cultivating the next stage of the Worldbreaker Physique Art.
As a place for cultivation, this forbidden land was even quieter than Skyspire Order.
If the Primordial Kings dared come over and deliver themselves again, Caelum would gladly welcome them.
Inside his body.
The strand of Chaos Qi moved through the Perfect Grand Cycle, circulating endlessly.
As the Worldbreaker Physique Art operated, each hidden vault cycle gradually evolved into a hazy expanse of chaos.
It was like the state before heaven and earth had first opened.
At the same time, Caelum’s cultivation rose steadily under the State of Effortless Freedom.
[Cultivation Increased]
