Chapter 338
Valerius stared up at Lucien. The old man’s mind completely, utterly shattered. His entire life, his entire history, his entire belief system was a fake, corrupted lie. The dirty beggar standing over him was not just a rogue. He was the true inheritor of the clan’s greatest legacy. Lucien was the physical manifestation of all the sins the Empire had committed for a thousand years, coming back to collect the debt. "Forgive us," Valerius whispered, tears pouring down his cheeks. He dropped his glowing golden sword into the dirt. The blade hissed and vanished. "We lost the path.""You did not lose the path," Lucien replied coldly. "You destroyed it."Valerius bowed his head, offering his neck for the execution. He was ready to die. He had no honor left to fight for. But Lucien did not swing his sword. He was not going to give the Patriarch a quick, clean death. He was not going to let the old man die looking like a tragic hero. Lucien pulled his sword back. He slid it into the leath
Chapter 337
When Valerius used the "Piercing Dawn," he spun his wrist to create a beautiful circle of golden light before thrusting. It was how the clan had been taught to do it for five hundred years. The spin made the attack look grand and royal. When Lucien used the "Piercing Dawn," he did not spin his wrist at all. Lucien simply thrust his sword in a straight, ugly, perfectly direct line. It was not beautiful. It did not flash with pretty light. But it was a fraction of a second faster, and it was a hundred times more lethal. Lucien’s blade slipped past Valerius’s golden sword and sliced a shallow cut across the old man’s chest armor. "Ah!" Valerius stumbled backward, holding his bleeding chest. Valerius stared at Lucien. The old man’s heart pounded with a dark, heavy realization. Lucien was not copying him. Lucien was correcting him. Lucien was stripping away all the flashy, corrupted, beautiful modifications that the Saint-Aurelius Clan had added to their martial arts over the centur
Chapter 336
Lucien’s black iron sword tapped the side of Valerius’s golden blade. Lucien did not hit it hard. He just nudged it exactly one millimeter to the right. The golden sword slid harmlessly past Lucien’s shoulder. Valerius’s eyes widened in surprise. The parry was so light, so gentle, that Valerius had not even felt it until his sword was already missing its target. "Lucky," Valerius grunted. The old Patriarch instantly spun his body, using his missed thrust to generate power for a spinning backhand slash. It was a beautiful, flowing move called the "Sun’s Orbit." The glowing blade cut horizontally, aiming for Lucien’s neck. Lucien ducked. But he did not just drop his head. He stepped perfectly into the empty space created by the Patriarch’s spin. He moved his left foot exactly behind Valerius’s right heel. As Valerius finished his spin, his foot bumped into Lucien’s heavy iron boot. Valerius lost his balance for a fraction of a second. He stumbled. Before Valerius could catch him
Chapter 335
The massive beam of black and gold energy faded into the sky. The dark clouds were gone. The bright, clear blue sky shone down on the ruined Imperial Arena. Millions of people stared at the center of the stadium. They had just watched Patriarch Valerius, the oldest and strongest master of the Saint-Aurelius Clan, get swallowed by a beam of pure destruction. Everyone thought he was dead. Everyone thought his body had been completely turned to ash. But the Saint-Aurelius Clan had ruled the world for a thousand years. They had collected the greatest, most powerful magical treasures in the universe. They did not die easily. In the center of the deep, smoking crater of black glass, a bright golden light suddenly flashed. The sound of a precious stone breaking echoed in the quiet stadium. A small, golden amulet, which had been hidden deep inside the Patriarch’s armor, exploded into a million pieces of glowing dust. It was a Life-Saving Jade. It was a priceless, mythical artifact that

Lucien did not pull anymore. He changed the polarity of the Chaos-Divine Equilibrium. He stopped pulling. He started pushing. The massive, impossible amount of golden holy light, heavy stone, and iron shields that Lucien had just swallowed into his black hole was instantly mixed with his own pure, dark Abyssal Chaos energy. It was compressed into a single, tiny point in the center of his palm. Lucien fired it all back. It was the loudest, most devastating, most terrifying sound ever recorded in the history of the Empire. It shattered the eardrums of anyone not covering their ears. A beam of pure, swirling, mixed energy—pitch-black shadow swirling violently with blinding golden light—erupted from Lucien’s open palm. It was the size of a large building. It shot upward into the sky faster than lightning. The beam hit Patriarch Valerius directly in the chest. There was absolutely no resistance. There was no struggle. There was no final battle cry. The old man’s supreme, Peak Sovere
Chapter 333
Huge chunks of heavy rock floated into the air and were sucked into the black sphere around Lucien, vanishing instantly into the void. The wind howled fiercely, blowing the hair and clothes of the people in the stadium toward the center ring. "Hold on!" Seraphina yelled in the Coach's Box. She grabbed the wooden railing with one hand and wrapped her other arm tightly around little Lin. The intense, unnatural gravity was trying to pull them right out of the dirt pit. Kai jammed his steel sword deep into the dirt and held onto the handle with both hands, his feet sliding across the floor. "He is pulling the whole world in!" Kai shouted over the roaring wind. But the intense, impossible gravity did not just affect the arena. Deep, deep underground, far beneath the beautiful white marble streets of the Imperial Capital, the ancient leylines of the earth felt the pull. The leylines were massive, invisible rivers of raw, natural magical energy. They had flowed peacefully under the cit
