The Patriarch did not respond to that doubt with a long rebuttal. He did not correct his crown prince's way of thinking, nor did he try to convince. He immediately cut in with facts that stood alone, without needing additional emphasis. “He was besieged by three Ruler Palaces at once. Even the First Generals of the East, West, and South Sea Palaces intervened directly to suppress him.” Every word that came out of the Patriarch's mouth slammed into the silence of the hall. The First General was a symbol of absolute power of a Palace. The descent of three First Generals at once for one target was an event that had never happened in the last tens of thousands of years. Situ Yu's eyes widened. Three First Generals intervened directly? That was the core strength of the Palace which usually only moved during major wars. The reaction was not merely shock. For Situ Yu, the name “First General” always had a different meaning than just a title. It was a symbol of a limit rarely touched

Situ Yu fell silent and his lips formed a faint smile. The smile was not wide, nor did it show victory. It appeared briefly, like a reflex he could not hold back. Situ Yu was not a person who liked to show off, but he also could not hold back a sense of relief penetrating the worry earlier. At least, Xiao Tian was not alone. “Two unknown ancient monsters? A little girl? Commander, your connections truly surpass my imagination,” thought Situ Yu. There was a sense of pride surging in his chest. His friend turned out to have support far beyond anyone's imagination in this room. However, that pride did not make Situ Yu forget his position. He remained standing with a respectful attitude, keeping his expression from attracting excessive attention. He understood, for some parties in this hall, news about Xiao Tian's support was not something to be celebrated, but something whose danger needed to be measured. “However, all that is nothing yet,” said the Patriarch while looking at Situ Y

Situ Yu remained standing in his place. His face was calm, but in his heart wild laughter echoed without control. “Hahaha. Look at you, Eldest Brother. You who always felt like the sky above the sky, now realize that you are nothing more than a frog in a well. And you, Commander… you are truly crazy. Young Master? No wonder you always looked calm on the front lines. You were not betting with your life, you were betting with the world,” thought Situ Yu. The satisfaction did not appear as outward mockery, but as deep relief. Not only because seeing his brother's arrogance collapse, but because he knew, his friend stood in a place much safer than he previously imagined. The gaze of the Grand Elders slowly shifted towards Situ Yu. The gaze no longer contained old assessments. There was no longer a belittling attitude, no longer a cold distance. What appeared was a new calculation. Situ Yu did not change visibly, but his position had shifted. He was no longer the marginalized second

Situ Yu bowed respectfully once again before turning his body around. He stepped out of the Main Hall with mixed feelings. On one hand he was happy to meet his best friend again but on the other hand he realized a heavy burden was now on his shoulders. The fate of the entire clan depended on the success of his mission. He passed the hall threshold without looking back. The atmosphere behind him remained held back, as if the whole room had not fully breathed again after the series of decisions that had just fallen. Situ Yu did not try to seek anyone's gaze. He just kept his steps natural, because he knew, in a place like that, small changes in expression could be reading material for many people. Situ Feng stared at his younger brother's retreating back with a gaze full of hatred. His hands clenched tightly until nails dug into flesh. He did not move to chase, nor did he call out. His hatred did not need to be shown as a commotion. He just let it settle, waiting for the time to expl

“You are partying so merrily, until forgetting I was not invited. Can I join?” That sentence was spoken with a flat and relaxed tone, not loud, yet able to kill all the party noise in an instant. That voice did not contain anger, but carried absolute authority forcing every heartbeat to slow down unnaturally. The night wind which previously blew warm carrying the scent of wine, now felt cold and sharp piercing the skin. The torches illuminating the banquet area flickered simultaneously, their flames shrinking as if afraid to burn too brightly in the presence that had just arrived. What was just noisy suddenly held back. The sound of laughter, clashing cups, and overlapping chatter seemed neatly cut. Many soldiers holding pieces of meat stopped in mid-motion. Someone had just raised a cup, but that hand did not end up sipping. The silence created was so absolute that the heartbeat sound of the person next door could be heard faintly. Cultivators from various realms present there fe

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, the Cloud Array and Cosmos Array soldiers who initially packed the party area immediately moved back simultaneously. They split themselves into two camps, creating a wide passage in the middle of the field. Their movements were stiff and awkward, driven by pure instinct to get away. The killing aura unintentionally radiating from Xiao Quantian's body made the soldiers' knees tremble, pressing their mental state to the lowest point. Thin dust billowed from the footsteps of thousands of soldiers shifting backward. There was no official command, no shouted orders from superiors, only a silent agreement not to block the path of the god of death. No one dared to whisper. They just arranged positions, giving space, ensuring no body stood too close. Some soldiers who were distributing food stepped aside quickly, put down what they were carrying, then returned to standing position without daring to look back too often. The passage created stretched straight from

The object looked as if it had absorbed the essence of thousands of years from a star core before being compacted into a tiny physical form. Those two beads were not big, but their presence seemed to make the space around become heavier. Some soldiers standing closest felt the power circulation in their bodies reacting unbidden. They did not dare move, only holding themselves back so as not to look shaky. The blood inside the cultivators' bodies boiled slowly, responding to the purity of energy radiating without obstruction, as if begging to absorb just a little of the escaped aura. “Please Senior accept it. At least with these two pearls, breaking through to the eighth rank of True God Ruler is not a difficult matter,” explained Xiao Quantian while handing over the object. The air around the main table seemed sucked out hearing that guarantee. Tuo Xun's body tensed violently. His hands trembled when accepting those two pearls. His eyes widened staring at the small objects in his

The soldiers most sensitive to spatial changes reflexively held themselves back. They did not move, but their eyes followed the stone without blinking, as if afraid to miss even one second of the change happening. In the blink of an eye, its size changed from the size of a bean to the size of a hill, then a mountain, then a continent. The change happened without pause. Scales usually becoming the limit of their reason were passed one by one, as if size was merely a concept that could be pulled and enlarged according to will. Strong winds were created from sudden mass displacement, hitting the faces of soldiers thousands of kilometers away. Some people turned to the sky, then looked back ahead, ensuring they were not misjudging the distance. The shadow appearing on the ground was no longer the shadow of a small object, but something starting to dominate the line of sight. BUZZ! The second hum sounded louder, vibrating the entire structure of the Hundun Realm to its deepest founda

That question was no longer a question in his head. It was like a vibration spreading to his whole body. He had lived long, seen many resources, seen many promises, seen many cultivators boast. But this was not a boast. This was delivered in the same way a person mentioned a plan ready to be executed. His vision of the Hundun Realm's future changed drastically in the blink of an eye. By comparison, a Ruler Palace might only possess a few hundred True God Rulers. If the Hundun Realm possessed ten thousand, they would no longer be a peripheral realm. They would become a superpower capable of challenging second-class forces like the Situ Clan or any Clan frontally, aside from the Ruler Palace. Because a Ruler Palace was led by a twelfth-rank True God Ruler. Just with one Emperor, it was enough to slaughter billions of people with a wave of his hand. However, even so, at least the Hundun Realm's power had leveled up. Which previously only possessed one True God Ruler, namely Tuo Xun

The change happened too fast to be called a process. In one jolt, the party atmosphere collapsed into total seriousness. People who previously were still holding cups and pieces of meat instantly stiffened, because this phenomenon was not something that could be misunderstood. Purple light from the lightning reflected on the soldiers' pale faces, creating terrifying shadows. It was a natural phenomenon very well known by every cultivator. Divine Calamity. A sign that someone was breaking through the sky's limits toward the True God Ruler realm. “Only three breaths,” mumbled Tuo Xun with a trembling voice. “He just entered for three breaths and immediately triggered a breakthrough?” Tuo Xun's eyes widened to the maximum, watching the tribulation clouds thickening above the stone of that world. Those words came out unintentionally, like a reflex. Tuo Xun did not intend to show nervousness, but his own body refused to hold back the reaction. He understood how long and heavy
