The eight Void Monarchs recoiled as the World Tree’s canopy pierced through their spatial lockout. The cosmic shockwave sent ripples across the Void Abyss, shattering nearby rogue asteroids into fine dust. Where a massive dark legion had stood moments ago, only rich, golden mist remained, sinking gently into the soil of the Heavenly Horizon Farm.
Sovereign Vaelis lowered his eight wing-like spatial rifts, his dark golden armor crackling with volatile energy.
— Do not fall for his trickery! — Vaelis bellowed, his voice echoing across the cosmos to the other seven Monarchs. — He uses a specialized transformation array to convert unrefined qi! If we strike simultaneously with pure, physical Sovereign Will, his roots will snap under the weight!
The eight Monarchs nodded in grim agreement. Abandoning their long-range spell barrages and army summons, they stepped forward in unison. Eight gargantuan figures, each the size of a star system, descended upon the floating realm.
Sovereign Vaelis summoned a spear of compressed dark gravity capable of collapsing star cores.
The Fourth Monarch, a beast of pure Void-Fire, condensed a black sun between its jaws.
The Fifth and Sixth Monarchs unleashed dual blades of spatial severance, aiming to slice the farm into four quarters.
— Master! — Little Ling gasped from Li Xian’s shoulder, her wings trembling under the sheer pressure of eight approaching gods. — Their physical laws are trying to overwrite our domain's rules! The Ley Lines are under extreme strain!
— STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AT SIXTY PERCENT, — Prime-09 reported, its metallic voice grinding under the atmospheric weight. — PREPARING TO ENGAGE IN CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT.
— No need to break your frame, Prime, — Li Xian said calmly, walking past the construct with unhurried steps. — They want to test whose rules govern this space. Let us show them the law of the harvest.
Li Xian stopped at the edge of the central field, kneeling down to press both palms against the raw earth.
— Domain Secret: Sovereign Grafting — Eight Elements Harmony!
Deep within the realm’s core, the Seed of Creation flared with blinding golden light. The farm’s Ley Lines did not attempt to block the descending Sovereign Laws. Instead, eight massive tendrils of living root shot out from the World Tree, each matching the exact elemental attribute of an approaching Monarch: Get faster updates on novelping . com.
The Iron-Root Vine wrapped around Vaelis’s gravity spear, absorbing its kinetic density to reinforce the realm's mountain ranges.
The Glacial Lake’s essence met the black sun of the Fourth Monarch, quenching the void-fire into rare elemental steam.
The Stellar Flame Lilies absorbed the spatial blades, converting the sharp cutting force into accelerated growth energy for the central crops.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The massive strikes of the eight Monarchs slammed into the realm, but instead of crushing the land, their attacks were redirected and absorbed along the specialized root channels.
Sovereign Vaelis’s eyes widened in sheer horror as he felt his gravity spear locked in place. The roots wrapped around his weapon were rapidly siphoning his divine origin energy, pulling his massive, armored frame downward toward the floating continent.
— My... my divine origin! — Vaelis roared, trying desperately to yank his spear free, but the roots held fast like indestructible vice grips. — Release me, rogue cultivator!
— Release you? — Li Xian stood up, his dark robes fluttering as seven-colored divine light swirled around his body. — You brought eight complete sets of Sovereign Laws right to my doorstep. It would be rude not to accept such fine raw materials.
With a sharp flick of Li Xian’s wrist, the roots surged upward, entangling all eight Void Monarchs and pulling them down into the domain’s outer fields to begin the final assimilation process.
