The pathway extending from the “Prime Throne Nebula” platform toward the seven domains of the Realm of Celestial Thrones was not merely a spatial stretch folded by high-speed movement techniques; rather, it was a breach through accumulated strata of solid ether laws forged by the Council of Seven Rulers over millions of epochs.
Dark and Qing’er carved their way deep into the etheric nebula utilizing their newly acquired movement technique: the [Ether Tyrant’s Step of Nebula Splitting].
With every fracture in the etheric space fabric, etheric energy shattered around them like shimmering crystalline plates, leaving behind bloody and pitch-black trails testifying to the absolute conqueror’s transit.
Dark advanced with overriding stability, his cosmic aura—the [Sovereign Immunity and Control Aura]—expanding to devour the pristine ether essence surrounding them.
The 280,000 awakened cells of the Divine Elephant Technique roared in absolute synchronization with his physical energy, manifesting the phantoms of 280,000 divine elephants draped in chaotic dragon armor across his back and shoulders, their thunderous trumpeting ready to crush the first throne of the seven domains.
His pearl-crimson pupils tracked the structural energy movements within the region, while the third demonic eye upon his forehead—the [Eye of the Eternal Tyrant for Weaving and Annihilating Fates]—wove visual pathways to dismantle any defensive array or temporal trap set along the path.
At a precise distance beside him, Qing’er moved with fluid grace rivaling etheric light.
Thanks to the purified ether annihilation essence that Dark continuously channeled through their “Absolute Link System” bond, her cultivation firmly stabilized at the advanced ranks of the [Soul Formation Stage – Advanced Third Level].
Her pure blue glacial shield intertwined with etheric energy lines, crafting a cosmic blue aura encircling her slender sword.
Qing’er cast a sharp, fleeting glance toward Dark, speaking in a clean, jewel-polished tone: “Master, linkage network analysis and the plundered memories from Valerius confirm we have entered the gravitational footprint of the ‘Castle of the Silver Throne.’ The primary ruler, ‘Aurelius,’ is no ordinary combatant; he commands the silver crystal matter structuring the domain’s architecture and wields techniques enabling him to regenerate his physical body and throne from the raw matter of the upper world.”
Dark responded with a ruthless smile embodying absolute arrogance and utter contempt for all existing rulers: “Regenerating his body from raw matter?
Let him generate millions of silver bodies, Qing’er.
When the Divine Elephant cells awaken and devour his cultivation essence, not a single grain of silver will remain in this domain capable of recalling his name.
The Silver Throne shall be the first stone we wrench from the crown of this pathetic council.”
At that exact moment, the luminous ether clouds parted to reveal the first domain in all its majestic authority.
Rising before them stood the “Castle of the Silver Throne,” a colossal cosmic continent crafted entirely from pure silver crystal reflecting the light of two orbiting etheric suns.
The castle was encircled by thousands of towering spires emitting silver beam radiation forming a massive spherical shield known as the “Eternal Silver Veil.” At the center of this silver continent rose the Greater Silver Throne, where the primary ruler Aurelius sat.
The fortress was far from undefended; “Silver Guards” patrolled the crystal ramparts in droves, hundreds bearing cultivation stabilized at the [Absolute Void Ruler Stage – First Level], while their commanders wore heavy silver armor radiating time- and matter-freezing energy.
The moment Dark and Qing’er stepped upon the edge of the domain’s outer crystal shield, alarm bells reverberated across the fortress.
The entire silver continent shuddered, and a massive silver beam tore through the etheric fabric from the heart of the Silver Throne, materializing into a majestic four-meter-tall entity.
He wore armor forged from pristine silver crystal and wielded a broad silver sword spilling material destruction light.
His eyes were twin crystals radiating absolute cold, and his cultivation stood firm at the [Absolute Void Ruler Stage – Maximum Level].
This entity was none other than “Aurelius—Primary Ruler of the Silver Throne and Seventh Member of the Council of Seven Rulers.”
Aurelius fixed his gaze upon Dark and Qing’er, charged with eternal fury and royal pride, speaking in a sharp metallic voice vibrating with matter-shattering frequencies: “You are the rebellious entity who dared destroy my guards in the Prime Throne Nebula and slay Valerius!
How does a mere mortal from the lower realms dare desecrate the sanctity of the Silver Throne?
Today, I shall turn your body and soul into dead silver crystals to adorn my castle floor for eternity!”
Dark did not bother offering a lengthy verbal reply.
He took a single step forward onto the domain’s crystal shield using the [Ether Tyrant’s Step of Nebula Splitting].
The legendary silver shield fractured beneath his boots like shattered glass, and a crimson-and-black shockwave swept thousands of silver guards to the ground, coughing up spiritual silver blood.
Dark spoke in a tone dripping with mockery and sovereign control: “Dead crystals?
You fabricated rulers have lived in illusions of grandeur for far too long.
Today I shall teach you that your silver throne and crystal continent are merely raw materials to be entirely devoured to nourish the Tyrant’s ascension.”
Aurelius flew into hysterics, lifting his broad silver sword to activate his supreme technique: [Eternal Silver Slash and Etheric Matter Erasure].
A massive offensive wave of dense silver light surged toward Dark and Qing’er, capable of rewriting atomic bonds and reducing any biological or spiritual entity into lifeless silver inanimate matter.
Yet Qing’er stepped forward masterfully, drawing her slender ice sword and activating her skills merged with Dark’s aura: [Glacial Shield of Eternal Matter Freezing].
A wall of pure blue ice materialized to intercept the silver wave, instigating complete freezing of silver atomic movement mid-air, causing Aurelius’s attack to halt and cascade as frozen silver dust onto the continent’s floor.
Aurelius was shocked by the efficiency of this glacial defense.
Before he could process it, Dark materialized directly before him by tearing silver spacetime.
Dark unleashed his sovereign offensive skill: [Dark Dragon Annihilation of Temporal Holes] combined with the [Eye of the Eternal Tyrant for Weaving and Annihilating Fates].
Crimson and black chaotic dragon flames gathered around Dark’s right hand, while his third eye released a beam wiping out Aurelius’s fate-bound regeneration from the continent’s crystals.
Dark delivered a straight punch directly toward the Silver Ruler’s chest.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A horrifying cosmic explosion shook the foundations of the Castle of the Silver Throne.
Aurelius’s heavy silver shield shattered instantly, and Dark’s steel-forged fist pierced his crystal chest, crushing his prime heart composed of pure silver ether essence.
“I-Impossible!
How can my silver regeneration fate be erased with a single glance?!
What kind of entity is this?!” Aurelius screamed in broken fragments of terror and disbelief.
Dark smiled with overriding coldness, clenching his hand inside Aurelius’s chest, activating the “Absolute Link System” and the [Sovereign Plunder] capability at its maximum inputs.
Millions of bloody, dark, and crimson threads shot forth from Dark’s palm, infiltrating every atom of the silver continent, the castle palaces, and Aurelius’s body.
The threads commenced draining Aurelius’s cultivation, primordial silver techniques, and the entire crystal continent’s essence, absorbing them to implant them into Dark’s pathways and divine cells.
At that glorious moment, the luxurious gold-arched system screen appeared to announce with its majestic metallic voice the details of the first silver fall:
========================================
[ Sovereign Link & Plunder Report – Castle of the Silver Throne ]

• Sovereign Aura & Control Status: [Sovereign Immunity and Control Aura] now covers the physical and spiritual expanse of all seven domains completely.
========================================
Dark closed the screen with a thought, feeling the terrifying power of 320,000 awakened cells of the Divine Elephant Technique crackling through his veins.
He stood amidst the etheric void following the complete disappearance of the silver continent, gazing toward the remaining six domains on the horizon.
He turned toward Qing’er, whose eyes shone with legendary loyalty and absolute pride, and spoke in a voice that shook the nebula: “The Silver Throne has fallen and become fuel for our ascension, Qing’er.
Six thrones and six rulers remain.
Let us move toward the second domain, and let the Council of Seven Rulers tremble until we erase their existence entirely!”
”Thank you for reading Chapter 25!
