Crossing the star-bridge extending from the deepest sanctum of the Supreme Divine Graveyard was far more than a mere spatial transit across dimensional boundaries; it felt like a complete rewiring of the very essence of existence and consciousness.
Between the borders of the dark outer void and the realm of the celestial thrones, a massive dismantling of ancient physical and spiritual laws took place.
Dark and Qing’er braved a tremendous cosmic current of deep golden light and crimson lightning, where time and space intertwined to form luminous rivers of primordial probabilities and eternal paths.
Dark stood at the core of this cosmic torrent with absolute, unyielding stability, enveloped by his evolved aura: the [Sovereign Immunity and Control Aura].
This aura did not merely protect him; it actively absorbed and dismantled the terrifying energy frequencies of the higher realms, adapting them to suit his physical and mental constitution.
The 150,000 awakened cells of the Divine Elephant Technique, alongside the newly integrated reserves—bringing the total to 280,000 awakened sacred cells—pulsed and resonated with the new environment with surging fervor.
Each of these quarter-million cells rivaled the core of a dying star or the heart of a frozen black hole, emitting the energy of a crimson chaotic dragon that coiled around his spiritual pathways to grant him an unchallengeable sovereign presence.
Directly beside him, Qing’er crossed the cosmic current with remarkable composure.
Thanks to the energy of the [Eternal Tyrant Domain of Frozen Creation and Destruction] and the purified divine essence that Dark continuously channeled into her pathways via their “Absolute Link System” bond, her cultivation at the [Soul Formation Stage – Advanced Third Level] displayed signs of absolute stability.
Her pure blue glacial shield transformed into a crystalline layer radiating primordial light, making her resemble an ice goddess summoned from forbidden myths.
Her clear eyes monitored the environmental shifts with the highest degree of sensory and strategic focus, her hand steady on the hilt of her slender ice sword, ready for any danger looming on the new cosmic horizon.
Qing’er whispered in a pure, clean voice cutting through the roar of the surrounding primordial light: “Master, the density of spiritual energy and gravitational pressure in this cosmic current is thousands of times greater than that of the outer void.
The structural matter of the world we are approaching is crafted from pristine crystals and absolute laws untainted by any cosmic collapse.
It appears the entities responsible for managing the ‘Realm of Celestial Thrones’ have already sensed the shift in the fabric of fate.”
Dark offered a faint, arrogant smile overflowing with absolute indifference.
His pearl-crimson pupils flickered with a terrifying demonic radiance mimicking the dark of nothingness.
He responded in his deep, booming voice echoing majestically across the dimensional conduit: “Let them sense whatever they wish, Qing’er.
We have consumed the Empire of the First Origin, crushed the graveyard guardians, and swallowed the ‘Core of Dead Fate.’ The Realm of Celestial Thrones is merely a broader stage to manifest our tyranny.
If their gods and rulers consider themselves masters of existence, they will soon learn that their titles are mere offerings awaited by the Absolute Link System and the Divine Elephant cells.”
At that exact moment, the end of the light conduit tore open, announcing arrival at the new destination.
Dark and Qing’er stepped out of the dimensional gate to find themselves standing upon a colossal platform crafted from white cosmic marble shimmering with golden and crimson lines, floating at the heart of a legendary location known as the “Prime Throne Nebula.”
The Prime Throne Nebula was not merely open space; it was a massive gathering of suspended suns, moons, and undulating continental plains hanging in mid-air, surrounded by day and night clouds whose colors shifted based on the flow of spiritual energy.
On the distant horizon, floating shapes of castles and skeletal frameworks of cosmic cities echoed, connected by colossal bridges forged from frozen light.
The air here did not contain conventional oxygen; it was saturated with “Primordial Ether Essence,” a tremendously rare energetic substance capable of elevating ordinary beings’ cultivation to legendary stages simply by breathing it.
Yet, the platform upon which Dark landed was not empty.
A massive, meticulously prepared military display awaited.
At the center of the marble platform gathered hundreds of knights and celestial beings clad in polished gold and silver armor, wielding spears humming with thunderous tones and energy beams.
Their luminous wings spanned vast distances, and their eyes shone with the light of martial cultivators at the [True God-King Stage – Peak].
At the vanguard of this cosmic army stood a majestic entity clad in a white robe embroidered with royal gold, holding a scepter topped with a crystal glowing with the light of the primeval sun.
This entity was none other than “General Valerius—Guardian of the Celestial Thrones’ Borders and Lord of the Ether Nebula.”
Valerius possessed a gaze radiating haughty pride and supreme elegance, and his entrenched cultivation rested at the [Absolute Void Ruler Stage – Radiant Level].
Throughout millions of epochs, Valerius had guarded this dimensional crossing gate, watching lineages rise and entities fall.
Yet at this moment, as Dark and Qing’er emerged from the portal, Valerius’s calculations did not point to the arrival of a traditional “ascending cultivator” offering submission and loyalty to the rulers of the upper realms.
Valerius felt a terrifying, sudden pressure sweeping across the entire fabric of the Prime Throne Nebula.
The pressure radiating from Dark was not merely a standard cultivation aura; it was a note of absolute tyranny forcing the nebula’s ether to recede and contract.
Even the celestial guard knights who had fought thousands of cosmic wars began to tremble, the steps of their luminous steeds retreating involuntarily as their bodies answered a primal call of terror before the god of death and sovereignty.
Valerius’s muffled voice, laden with astonishment and fury, rose as he tried to maintain his royal dignity, lifting his divine scepter and pointing it toward Dark: “Halt where you stand, stranger! Read the latest chapters at g.com.
You tread upon the ground of the ‘Prime Throne Nebula,’ the sacred threshold of the Realm of Celestial Thrones!
Energy logs indicate you hail from the forbidden outer void…
How does a mere mortal possess an aura heavier than the thrones of gods?
Discard your weapon, kneel before the authority granted to us by the Council of Seven Rulers, and submit your cultivation and soul examination for judgment!”
Hearing these arrogant demands, Qing’er tilted toward Dark with a fleeting glance, her sharp amphibious tone rising: “Master, they demand our surrender and an examination of your soul.
Shall I sever their insolent tongues with crystal frost before you bother speaking?”
Dark chuckled in a quiet, dark tone—a sound oozing overwhelming mockery that caused the crystal on Valerius’s scepter to vibrate and fracture with delicate lines.
Dark stepped forward onto the marble platform, and with his footfall, a shockwave of crimson and black tore through the solid marble floor like fragile glass.
Dark spoke with absolute contempt and eternal tyranny: “Soul examination?
My judgment?
Your trials, authority, and the Council of Seven Rulers are merely pathetic jokes in the presence of the Tyrant.
You address the entity that devoured fate and crushed the Supreme Divine Graveyard!
Your gold-adorned soldiers and bright scepters are nothing more than extra food to empower the 280,000 awakened Divine Elephant cells I just brought forth!”
Valerius flew into a raging fury, his luminous wings vibrating violently.
He bellowed at the top of his lungs, issuing orders to his celestial army: “Nebula Knights!
Raise the ‘Absolute Sun Spear’ formation!
Crush this arrogant fool and his servant’s souls, and leave not a trace of their dark aura in this pure realm!”
ZOOM!
In less than a fraction of a second, hundreds of celestial knights moved with breathtaking coordination, forming an offensive formation resembling a sharp golden cosmic arrowhead.
The combined energy of thousands of cultivators at the True God-King stage surged, backed by Valerius’s power, heading like a destructive sunbeam toward Dark and Qing’er.
The attack was enough to vaporize entire galaxies in the lower realms and erase the concepts of matter and spirit from existence.
Yet Dark did not blink a single eye, nor did he consider employing traditional defensive skills.
Dark simply raised his right hand, summoning the newly acquired supreme ability derived from merging the Core of Dead Fate: the [Eye of the Eternal Tyrant for Weaving and Annihilating Fates] combined with the [Sovereign Death and Divine Elephant Shield].
An illusory third eye made of crimson lightning and dark gold opened upon Dark’s forehead.
The eye released a faint beam no thicker than a fine thread, piercing the absolute sun spear formation right at its midpoint.
What happened next was a horrifying cosmic shock that shook the souls of the knights and Valerius to their depths.
The attack did not collide directly with a shield; instead, the absolute sun spear formation began to unravel and move backward in time!
The golden energy threads transformed into separate pathways, the power-infused celestial weapons fragmented into particles of primordial ether, and the celestial knights found themselves subjected to the total erasure of their fates and cultivation pathways right at that very moment.
The knights dropped from the sky one by one like dry leaves, turning into soulless corpses devoid of cultivation paths, scattered across the marble platform.
General Valerius’s eyes widened in absolute horror, his divine scepter slipping from his hand to shatter upon the ground.
He stepped backward, his voice trembling with incredibility: “I-Impossible!
You…
you erase their fates and cultivation paths with a single glance?!
What forbidden art is this?!
What kind of monster are you?!”
Dark smiled a mesmerizing yet terrifying smile, vanishing from his spot via a spatial movement technique that tore spacetime across the Prime Throne Nebula.
In the next microsecond, he materialized directly before Valerius, his right hand gripping the celestial general’s neck with brutal severity, lifting him into the air like a weightless wooden doll.
Dark spoke in an icy tone overflowing with absolute control: “Monster?
I am not a monster.
I am fate and destiny itself, choosing to devour the entire Realm of Celestial Thrones.
And now, your cultivation at the Absolute Void Ruler stage and your memories of the Council of Seven Rulers shall serve as the opening feast for our journey across this nebula.”
“Nooooooooo!” Valerius screamed a final despairing cry, attempting to detonate his soul core to inflict harm upon Dark.
Yet Dark denied him that free opportunity.
He activated the “Absolute Link System” and the [Sovereign Plunder] capability to its enhanced peak.
Millions of crimson and bloody threads shot forth from Dark’s palm, infiltrating Valerius’s spiritual pathways, absorbing his cultivation essence, supreme techniques, and deep memories of the upper world’s thrones all at once.
The absorption and extraction process lasted for several moments as Valerius’s body shrank and his spiritual structure collapsed, while the ether energy and Absolute Void Ruler essence surged voraciously toward Dark’s pathways.
The 280,000 awakened Divine Elephant cells trembled with overflowing joy and power, feeding and preparing for the next evolutionary wave.
Suddenly, the luxurious gold-arched system screen with cosmic decorations appeared before Dark, gleaming in royal gold and crimson hues to announce the details of the initial plunder in the upper realm:
========================================

========================================
Dark tossed Valerius’s empty, energy-drained body onto the marble platform and gazed toward the vast horizon of the Prime Throne Nebula, where the castles of the celestial throne gods and their suspended cities glittered.
He pulsed with the power of 280,000 awakened cells of the sacred Divine Elephant Technique.
Dark turned toward Qing’er, who stepped close to stand beside him with her customary glacial beauty, speaking with loyalty and pride: “Master, we have wiped out the first defensive line of the Realm of Celestial Thrones.
The plundered memories from Valerius show that the ‘Council of Seven Rulers’ controls seven major cosmic regions, and the closest one to us is the ‘Castle of the Silver Throne,’ ruled by the primary ruler ‘Aurelius.'”
Dark flashed a tyrannical smile, his eyes shining with the brilliance of conquest and total control.
He raised his hand toward the ether-lit sky and spoke in a voice that shook the entire nebula: “Aurelius and his council are merely steps on our ladder of absolute ascension, Qing’er.
We have entered the Realm of Celestial Thrones, and we shall not leave until our feet rest upon every throne in this existence.
Let us advance toward the Castle of the Silver Throne!”
