The gargantuan form of Sovereign Malakor dissolved under the radiant power of the World Tree, his ancient frozen essence cascading into the northern territory of the Heavenly Horizon Farm. As his thousand-foot icy body melted away, a massive crystal crown forged from compressed primordial ice dropped into the black soil, embedding itself at the center of the newly formed Glacial Lake.
The moment the Crown of Frost touched the earth, the entire northern region underwent a permanent transformation. Jagged mountains of blue crystal rose from the perimeter, shielding the inner fields from external void pressure, while the lake shimmered with liquid qi so pure that mist began to condense into solid spirit crystals along its banks.
— Master! Look at the Realm Core! — Little Ling gasped, flying in excited circles above the newly risen mountain range. — Absorbing a Void Monarch's essence has pushed the farm to the Astral Dominion Stage!
Li Xian stepped onto the ice-blue shore, feeling the icy mist part naturally around him. The temperature was sub-zero, yet the air carried a refreshing, invigorating warmth to those who commanded the domain. Find the original chapter at NovelPing.
— A Void Monarch's core is indeed a cut above standard divine veins, — Li Xian said, extending his hand.
The Crown of Frost at the bottom of the lake pulsed, sending a surge of blue-and-gold light straight into his palm. A small, crystalline fruit shaped like a ice rose bloomed at the edge of the shore—the Absolute Zero Lotus, a legendary plant capable of freezing a person's soul in suspended animation to prevent death from any mortal or divine injury.
Sentinel Prime-09 walked to the edge of the crystal lake, its blue optics scanning the horizon deeper in the abyss.
— ALERT, PRIMORDIAL NURTURER, — Prime-09's voice resonated calmly. — SOVEREIGN MALAKOR'S FALL HAS TRIGGERED A VOID REVENUE SIGNAL. THE REMAINING EIGHT VOID MONARCHS HAVE FORMED A SPATIAL LOCKOUT AROUND OUR DESTINATION.
Above the Heavenly Horizon Farm, the pitch-black sky of the abyss cracked open, revealing eight immense, shadowy silhouettes standing in a circle across the distant cosmos. Each figure spanned entire planetary systems, their combined pressure causing space itself to buckle and distort.
— They're assembling their full forces, — Li Xian murmured, looking up at the grand cosmic tribunal. — They realize that individual attacks only serve to nourish my realm. This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
Little Ling landed gently on his shoulder, her tiny expression turning determined.
— What do we do now, Master?
Li Xian looked out over his vast, thriving realm—the glittering fields of Phoenix Nirvana Fruits, the metallic defense of the Iron-Root Vines, the burning heat of the grafted Star-Core, and the newly established Glacial Lake. He smiled, his golden eyes flashing with supreme confidence.
— We plant our flag, — Li Xian said calmly, taking a step toward the center of the World Tree. — They think they are surrounding a target. It's time to show them that they are merely standing inside my future garden.
