Chapter 422: Chapter422-Sacred Creation Shatters
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted one after another throughout the surrounding space.
Every time Sacred Creation shattered, a new stone tablet immediately condensed into existence.
Once the cycle of Infinite Detonation began, it would not stop until every enemy had been completely destroyed!
Even more terrifyingly, Sacred Creation inherently contained the immensely destructive Law of Destruction. Even Oracle-grade experts could not completely ignore its power.
Ceric and Lucius were thrown into chaos by the repeated explosions, barely managing to withstand the waves of impact.
Fortunately, the Constitution and law-based Sacred Arts of Oracle-grade experts were far beyond the ordinary, allowing them to endure most of the damage.
This was also because Daniel was still unable to unleash Sacred Creation’s full potential.
Once he stepped into Oracle-grade one day, the two of them would not merely be left in such a miserable state.
"Clones!"
"Banner of Destiny’s Judgment!"
Daniel’s clones appeared and took out the Banner of Destiny’s Judgment.
The void twisted violently, and an expert radiating an ancient aura stepped forth.
The Ancient Holy Spirit!
However, the Ancient Holy Spirit was no longer at the first stage of Oracle-grade as it had been before.
It had reached the second stage of Oracle-grade!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The moment its body fully condensed, it strode toward Lucius and launched a ferocious attack.
Lucius was only a second-stage Oracle-grade expert himself, and the repeated detonations of Sacred Creation had already left him seriously injured.
How could he possibly be a match for the Ancient Holy Spirit, which could display the strength of a peak second-stage Oracle-grade expert?
After only a few exchanges, the Ancient Holy Spirit restrained him.
It seized both of Lucius’s shoulders and pulled with tremendous force, tearing his entire body in half!
Lord Lucius had fallen!
"Lucius!"
Ceric’s eyes nearly split apart when he witnessed the scene.
Daniel merely glanced at him indifferently.
"Why the hurry? You’re next."
A blade talisman appeared in Daniel’s hand.
It was an Oracle-grade treasure created by a fourth-stage Oracle-grade expert and could unleash that expert’s full-force strike.
At the same time, the Ancient Holy Spirit had already charged toward Ceric.
Its entire body was as tough as a Primordial Treasure. In close-quarters combat, it gave Ceric no chance to catch his breath.
Sacred Creation also transformed into a colossal mountain and descended from above.
From the other side, a heaven-shaking blade light slashed toward him from the flank.
It carried the aura of a fourth-stage Oracle-grade expert!
Ceric was trapped between them with nowhere to escape.
"I finally understand how he killed Shar... and how he killed that fifth-stage Oracle-grade expert."
Only after being driven into a desperate situation did Ceric truly understand how those fallen Oracle-grade experts had felt.
A mere Divine Sovereign had possessed methods capable of contending directly against Oracle-grade experts, along with an endless supply of Oracle-grade treasures.
Forget a fifth-stage Oracle-grade expert.
What difference would even a T9 Oracle-grade expert make?
With so many Oracle-grade treasures protecting him, where in the vast Endless Starsea could Daniel not go?
Who could truly harm him?
Swish!
The blade light arrived first despite being launched later, killing one of Ceric’s clones with a single slash.
Ceric still had other clones, but two more blade lights followed immediately and wiped them out as well.
Sacred Creation blocked Ceric’s Sacred Arts from the front.
The Ancient Holy Spirit restrained most of his combat power.
At this moment, Ceric was like a mortal with his hands and feet bound.
Only one final strike was needed to end his life.
Whoosh!
The blade light that filled him with despair flashed once more, cleanly splitting him apart.
Grand Lord Ceric had fallen!
The deaths of the two Lords occurred almost one after the other.
At the same time, two cold system notifications rang in Daniel’s ears.
[Ding! You have slain a second-stage Oracle-grade expert. You have obtained 32.4 billion units of Origin Crystal, one Primordial Law-grade Treasure, five Primordial Treasures...]
[Ding! You have slain a third-stage Oracle-grade expert. You have obtained 41.3 billion units of Origin Crystal, two Primordial Law-grade Treasures, eight Primordial Treasures...]
Daniel calmly collected all the spoils.
His indifferent voice echoed throughout the entire plane.
"The Lords of Crown’s Summit had a personal grudge with me. Now that our causality has been settled, I bear no hatred toward the rest of you and will not slaughter the innocent."
"You now have two choices. Submit to me, or leave the Flying Fish Plane."
Crown’s Summit possessed several hundred Divine-grade experts, several thousand quasi-sages, tens of thousands of supreme-grade experts, and an incalculable number of god-grade beings.
These were the foundations the faction had accumulated over countless years.
Now that the three Lords were dead, Daniel would also need manpower to take over this territory.
Therefore, he had no intention of exterminating everyone.
His words soon reached the ears of every expert with perfect clarity.
Many of those present had personally witnessed the entire process of him killing the two Lords.
"They died just like that? All the Lords are dead..."
The Divine-grade servants stared in stunned silence.
"A Divine Descendant killed Oracle-grade Lords. Am I still dreaming?"
"I choose to submit. Following a leader like this should offer a far brighter future."
"I agree. This young existence clearly possesses limitless potential. At the very least, he’ll become a high-stage Oracle-grade expert in the future!"
"We submit! We are willing to submit!"
"..."
Daniel did not particularly care what the Divine-grade experts chose.
He flew directly into Crown’s Summit.
From this moment onward, this mountain and the entire plane belonged to him.
"My esteemed lord!"
A quick-witted Divine-grade expert appeared in time and bowed respectfully.
"I am one of the administrators of Crown’s Summit. I have long awaited your arrival and am willing to submit to you."
Daniel nodded.
"Lead the way."
"As you command."
The administrator guided him to the treasury entrance before tactfully withdrawing.
Daniel entered the treasury alone.
Before long, system notifications began ringing one after another.
[Ding! Would you like to sell all resources within the treasury?]
"Yes!"
[Ding! Sale behavior detected. You have obtained thirteen Primordial Law-grade Treasures, one hundred and three Primordial Treasures, two hundred and sixty-six Sacred Artisan Law-grade Treasures...]
Daniel harvested all the treasures and items inside the treasury, leaving behind only a portion required to maintain normal trade operations.
This was yet another enormous harvest.
By the time Daniel walked out of the treasury and arrived at the main hall, a large group of Divine-grade experts had already gathered outside.
The Divine Radiant expert at their head stepped forward and spoke on behalf of the others.
They were willing to submit!
Daniel nodded.
"From this moment onward, your compensation will be increased by fifty percent. Everything else will continue as before."
The Divine Radiant expert was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you, my lord! My name is Pierce. My family has lived here for generations. Should you ever have any orders for me, I will carry them out even at the cost of my life."
"That’s perfect. I have something for you to handle."
Daniel continued, "From today onward, this place will be renamed the Sanctum of Triumph. You will temporarily take charge of reorganizing the faction under its new name."
"As you command."
Pierce was inwardly shocked.
What tremendous ambition!
This lord had immediately established a new faction of his own.
His vision and bearing were far beyond anything the former Lords of Crown’s Summit had possessed.
"There is one more question."
Daniel suddenly asked, "How did Crown’s Summit previously pay taxes to the power above it?"
The Flying Fish Star System was guarded by a T7 Oracle-grade expert.
The faction belonging to that expert was known as Mistral Manor!
In truth, they exercised complete control over the entire star system.
Every year, Crown’s Summit had been required to hand over seventy percent of all resources it earned.
"Seventy percent," Pierce answered truthfully. "At a fixed time each year, Mistral Manor sends people to inspect the accounts. We simply pay according to the profits recorded in the ledgers."
