Chapter 1628: A Catastrophe! War Summary!

The Heavenly Punishment God naturally understood the nature of the Unafraid King.

Though this being was weak in power—so weak that even a single finger could crush him—after a single encounter, he had grown fearful of the Heavenly Punishment God's might and remained hidden deep within the rear lines of the Void Race's army. No matter how much the Heavenly Punishment God provoked him, the Unafraid King would not emerge. In such a situation, the Heavenly Punishment God had no recourse.

Thus, the Heavenly Punishment God lost interest in the Unafraid King entirely.

After all, as long as the Void Race's entire army was utterly eliminated, the Unafraid King would inevitably be caught as well.

That was precisely why the Heavenly Punishment God had chosen to leave the Dusk Battlefield and come to the Yellow Afterlife Domain—because he had learned of the Unafraid King's arrival there. He did not wish his enemy to interfere with his third brother.

In the Heavenly Punishment God's mind, though his third brother had risen swiftly, he was absolutely no match for the Unafraid King, a seasoned master of Supreme Will—someone who had long since attained the rank of a true elite Supreme Will cultivator.

The Unafraid King's weakness was only relative to the Heavenly Punishment God himself. To all other Supreme Will cultivators, especially among the upper echelons, the Unafraid King was by no means weak. Otherwise, he would never have been entrusted with leading such a crucial battlefield as the Dusk Battlefield.

For the sake of His third brother’s safety, He had purposely departed from the Twilight Battlefield and journeyed to the Underworld Realm, intent on eliminating this threat himself so that His brother might claim dominion over the realm without hindrance.

Yet never in His wildest dreams could He have imagined that His third brother would be capable of vanquishing the Fearless King entirely on his own.

The shock that struck His heart was beyond the reach of words.

“The speed at which my third brother grows is simply too terrifying.”

After a long, hushed silence, He could not help but murmur.

He had cross paths with countless prodigies, and whenever those geniuses stood before Him, they would invariably claim that He was the only true marvel.

But even the God-King of Heavenly Punishment Himself had to concede that, when measured at the exact same stage of cultivation, He paled entirely in comparison to this younger brother of His.

“His pace of growth does indeed far outstrip your own.”

The Supreme Will offered a faint smile, nodding in agreement.

The God-King of Heavenly Punishment could not resist turning His gaze back toward the Supreme Will.

This nobleman rarely takes the initiative to praise others.

Especially not in such blunt, direct compliments.

It is clear that the third brother has earned the nobleman's deep appreciation.

Wait...

The King of Fearlessness has fallen. Then, perhaps I can...

Heavenly Punishment Emperor suddenly had a thought, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Seems you've finally grasped it."

The Supreme Will nodded with a smile, then spoke solemnly: "Go.

Seize the moment—the Fearless King has fallen, and the Void Clan's army is leaderless and disorganized. Strike them hard."

"No need to wipe them out entirely, but ensure they suffer a devastating blow."

"Divine King of Heavenly Punishment."

"I sense an incalculable, cataclysmic calamity looming over both the Supreme and Crimson Universes ahead."

"If you manage to decisively strike the forces of the Illusory Race at this very moment, you will delay this great disaster for a period of time."

"You will be hailed as a hero of unparalleled significance!"

Upon hearing this, even the Divine King of Heavenly Punishment—whose composure remained unshaken even before a mountain collapsed before his eyes—felt a subtle shift in his expression.

What in the world is going on?!

A calamity so vast that even the Supreme Will itself cannot fathom?

The Supreme Will is among the most powerful beings in the Ultimate Void Universe, ranking among the top five in strength, surpassing all but the Immortals of Eternal Unfading. Beyond them, no one can match their might.

Can a disaster so profound that even the Supreme Will cannot predict it be nothing more than the impending collapse of the Ultimate Void Universe?

And yet, the Supreme Will stated that if I could decisively defeat the Illusory Race's army, this great disaster would be postponed for a while.

Could this great catastrophe have stemmed from the race of delusion?

The Heavenly Punishment God did not know what thoughts had crossed his mind—his face grew stern, his body trembling slightly, and finally, cold sweat poured from his brow without restraint.

"Heavenly Punishment God!"

The Supreme Will spoke softly, reprimanding: "Do not fall into the abyss of lost will!"

Startled, the Heavenly Punishment God jolted awake from that state of mental oblivion.

Relieved and grateful, he knelt in reverence, saying: "Thank you, Supreme Will, for saving me!"

"Oh," the Supreme Will sighed gently, "it was my fault for speaking too much, leading you into that state of confusion."

"You need not dwell on it. What I have said may merely be events from a parallel world—perhaps not even events from our own world, merely a coincidence projected into my intuition."

"Do not overthink things that have not yet happened."

"I understand, Supreme Will."

The Heavenly Avenger God had grown remarkably calm at this moment, bowing respectfully and saying, "My lord, I will not dwell on speculation."

"Indeed."

The Supreme Will nodded gently, saying, "Return now."

"The fall of the Unfearful King—this falsehood has likely already reached the Clan of Illusions. You must strike at their living forces before they send a new warlord. Make their losses as great as possible."

"Yes, Lord."

The Heavenly Avenger God bowed in reverence, then playfully added, "I thought I'd finally get to meet my third brother. It seems that meeting will have to be postponed once again."

"You are all heirs to the Supreme Lord. You will eventually meet each other."

The Supreme Will chuckled lightly.

"That is true, Lord."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Avenger God said no more, bowed respectfully to the Supreme Will, and turned to leave, returning to the battlefield of dusk.

The Supreme Will turned its gaze after observing His departure, shifting its eyes toward the direction of the Yellow Springs Realm, a faint smile forming upon its face.

"This Zhou—his growth rate is truly beyond my expectations."

"I did not waste my effort in elevating Him to my designated Supreme Commander-in-Training."

"Once this battle is known across the multiverse, every sentient being across the realms will acknowledge you."

"Yet still, that is not enough."

"Grow swiftly, grow strong."

"Imperial Sovereign of the People."

He spoke softly, then turned and vanished into the stars.

...

The World of Illusion.

Xu Yuan.

This is the cradle of the Clan of Illusion, where, according to legend, the primordial will of the Great World of Illusion lies hidden deep within this abyss that stretches endlessly into the void.

And now—

At the very heart of Xu Yuan.

Within a palace of utter darkness.

A figure stands, clad in a black robe, its surface a deep, unyielding obsidian. Beneath the robe, a black armor glimmers, utterly strange—composed of a million shifting black crystalline shards, each one containing a different monster from the Clan of Illusion, imprisoned within.

His face is veiled by a semi-transparent mask of dark iron, leaving only six eyes visible, arranged in an inverted cross. Within each eye, a flickering crimson flame pulses like a heartbeat.

Dark wings grow from his shoulders—currently folded, appearing unremarkable at first glance—but they carry a terrible weight, a silent promise: should they unfurl, they would blot out the sky and enshroud all realms in shadow.

This is Tai Yi—the sole entity acknowledged by the primordial will of the Great World of Illusion as equal to itself.

He is also the leader of all the deluded clans!

At this moment, he was gently tapping the armrest of the divine throne with his right hand.

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

Then, suddenly,

He sensed something. His gaze flickered slightly.

With a swift motion, his right hand extended, and there before him appeared a statue.

It was no other than the statue of the King of Fearlessness.

Now, the once-vivid colors had faded to a grayish white, and cracks had begun to spread across its surface. In moments, the statue of the King of Fearlessness shattered into countless fragments, and then vanished into the air.

"Has the King of Fearlessness perished?"

Tao Yi smiled softly, his voice low, almost filled with joy and relief.

"At last, we have reached this day."

"The destined enemy of this realm."

...

Time flew by swiftly.

Night.

The Yellow Springs Domain.

Zhou Zhan gazed at the yellow spring stone slab and the Yellow Springs Imperial Sword in his hands, glowing with boundless radiance, then down at the endless expanse of the Yellow Springs Domain's land beneath. A smile spread across his face.

After a day of relentless warfare, this Yellow Springs Domain had finally been fully subdued and brought entirely under His dominion.

At this very moment.

He, the Lord of the Yellow Springs, was truly, without a shadow of doubt, the master he had always been meant to be.

And as the domain of Yellow Springs achieved unification and returned to harmony, the Yellow Springs Stone Slab and the Yellow Springs Imperial Sword were imbued with the essence of the domain's primordial will, their fundamental powers amplified to unprecedented levels.

Especially the Yellow Springs Stone Slab, this artifact of superior will.

Originally, the remaining Yellow Springs energy within it had dwindled to less than thirty percent after two days of relentless warfare.

Yet, once the domain of Yellow Springs was restored to unity, its primordial will reabsorbed these two sacred artifacts of will, beginning to supply the Stone Slab with a continuous, inexhaustible flow of Yellow Springs energy.

From that point forward, Zhou Zhan could wield the power of the Yellow Springs Stone Slab without fear of depletion.

Even if, on some fateful day, he overexerted himself and completely drained its internal energy, merely returning the Stone Slab to the domain would trigger the primordial will to instantly sense the deficit, and immediately replenish the lost energy.

Thus, the Yellow Springs Stone Slab became a will artifact akin to a perpetual motion machine.

Its assistance to Zhou Zhan and his other manifestations surged dramatically.

Henceforth, Zhou Zhou and his subordinates could draw upon the Stone Slab to instantly elevate their power to the level of the Supreme Will Realm.

With such strength, they could now resolve problems that had previously remained beyond their reach—problems that the Yellow Springs Stone Slab had once made impossible.

It could also allow Zhou Zhou and his companions to more swiftly and effectively access higher realms of power and greater spheres of benefit.

The advantages were self-evident.

"Now you are truly the Master of the Yellow Abyss."

The Cycle of Rebirth looked at Zhou Zhan, speaking with joyful delight. Then, as an afterthought, a touch of sorrow flickered in its eyes.

"Without your brother's aid, I never could have so swiftly subdued the entire Yellow Abyss Domain."

Zhou Zhan shook his head.

That day, he had fought alongside the Will of the Cycle to eradicate the forces of illusion within the Yellow Abyss Domain—only through this joint effort could he have so quickly brought the entire domain under his control.

Otherwise, he would have had to wait until morning to achieve full subjugation.

Then he noticed the sorrow in the Will of the Cycle's gaze.

He paused, thinking, and said:

"Brother."

"Hm?"

"I promise you, if one day I gain the power to resurrect the Will of the Yellow Chasm, I will ensure you reunite with it."

Upon hearing this, the Will of the Cycle paused, then offered a faint, gentle smile.

"Then I shall await that day."

It did not hesitate—directly acknowledging the feelings it held for the Will of the Yellow Chasm.

Zhou Zhan smiled lightly and said nothing more.

...

Nightfall.

The Capital of the Sun's Majesty.

Within the Hall of Cyclic Sanctity.

Zhou Zhou was gazing at the war summary report before him.

Additionally, 131 upper-tier supreme gods have also detected their ascension limits and, today, have decided to enter the Cycle Palace to attempt promotion to the first-tier Supreme God!

Finally, three nearly Supreme Will-level beings have reached the limit of willful divinity and are preparing to enter the Cycle Palace tonight to ascend to lower-tier Supreme Will-level beings!

After reviewing these figures, Zhou Zhou’s face lit up with genuine surprise.

"Could there be two Sovereign Will Immortals aspiring to attain the Sovereign Will Realm?"
