From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

The sacred object of the Elf Clan that has been worshipped for generations, the "Book" hidden within the "New Green Constellation," could not be opened through conventional means.

That so-called "Jade Holy Object" was actually an austere and mystical prison designed to confine the Destruction Element, the number one "Book."

However, the Immortal Emperor, through the power he obtained from the God of Reforging, acquired a "Key."

Thus, he successfully "reforged" the structure of the Jade Holy Object and effortlessly took the "Book" within it into his hands.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor finally activated the "Book" within him.

It was the Forbidden rare artifact ranked first!

The "Omniscience Book"

Even in the eyes of the Gods, single-digit Forbidden rare artifacts were of considerable value, and the Forbidden rare artifact ranked number one could even make the Gods envious.

The Immortal Emperor's gaze was unwavering as he continued to speak, "Then, as the price, a million citizens of the Lorne Empire!"

"Let me stand above a million lives!"

Swish.

As if the painting on a scroll was suddenly drained of its invisible force, a full million people across the territories of the Lorne Empire disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, it was not just the disappearance of life, or souls, but almost no one remembered they had ever existed.

Only those who had reached the Heavenly Enlightenment Level could remember those people had appeared.

The next moment, countless Forbidden knowledge surged into his mind, and his gaze changed in an instant, as if he had undergone countless baptisms in a brief span of time.

"So that's how it is."

"I understand now..."

The Immortal Emperor trembled uncontrollably, his soul, spirit, and body transcending the shackles of the mundane world, breaking through the traditional limits of power and stepping into an unprecedented new level.

Apocalypse Upper Rank!

Moreover, this power continued to rise.

The multitude of Forbidden knowledge he had acquired was itself a form of power, having begun some sort of transformation on his soul, spirit, and body the moment he came to know them.

Within this new level, the power he possessed became terrifyingly formidable and profound, one of the oldest and most mysterious forces in the universe awakening within him, and the Immortal Emperor was about to become the undisputed ruler of the Claud World.

His eyes shone like two blazing suns, flashing with the light that pierced through all things in the world, with no secret or illusion concealed before him.

With a mere wave of his hand, the Immortal Emperor could move all matter in the world, the laws of nature bending whimsically under his will as if a game were being casually played.

Mountains and rivers changed their course at his mere thought, and more shockingly, the Immortal Emperor could not only control the forces of nature but also touch the essence of life itself.

He easily granted his life immortality, and he could also strip life from all beings in the snap of his fingers, with the cycle of life and death under his command as naturally as the day and night.

If his power continued to grow, the Immortal Emperor's will would eventually become a Law governing all growth, where the flourishing and wilting of plants and the propagation of living creatures would all follow his desires.

By then, he could be called a "Quasi-god" or the "Untouchable."

Under this power, the Immortal Emperor's figure appeared exceptionally tall and holy, every step rippling through space as if he himself was a bridge connecting different dimensions and times.

His words, even the faintest whisper, could become a roar lingering in spacetime, audible to people years thereafter.

The Fischer family and others watched the scene unfold calmly.

Chris knew that even at his strongest, he was still clearly distanced from the Immortal Emperor, who had not only reached the Apocalypse Upper Rank but was still climbing in power.

Finally, a battle that transcended human comprehension quietly began.

With every sweep of his hand, every step he took, the Immortal Emperor seemed to weave an invisible net, ensnaring each one of the Fischer family and Dawn Church's powerhouses within.

This net was neither solid nor illusory; it distorted time and space in a way beyond human understanding, making it seem as though the Fischer family's strong ones were trapped within ever-changing dimensions.

The attacks from the Fischer family and the members of the Dawn Church dissipated like bubbles in the void, leaving them all helplessly caught in an endless vortex, unable to extricate themselves, and watching as they stepped closer to the abyss.

"It's over."

"Chris Fischer, you are the pillar of the Fischer family today. Only by completely destroying you can all this end... it is all for Him, for... Them."

A speck of black starlight emerged in the depths of the Immortal Emperor's eyes.

The next moment, he amassed the purest force in the universe, a power that transcended the constraints of time, that spanned the boundaries of space, and that perfectly fused the duality of all things in the world.

Chris felt a pressure like never before, trying to break free from that invisible net of time and space, but every effort dissipated as if striking bubbles in the void, to no avail.

"Farewell, Cyart's 'Death God'... You will face true death and become complete nothingness."

As the Immortal Emperor spoke, his Light Sword flashed once more.

An infinite force pressed down in an instant!

This strike powerful enough to shake heaven and earth, even to directly destroy a nation, focused all its force solely upon Chris, not affecting the other members of the Fischer and the Dawn Church.

A hint of perplexity flickered in Chris's eyes, immediately replaced by deep insight.

The body of the "Death God" collapsed under the decisive blow of the Immortal Emperor, and even his soul dissipated into dust scattered across the skies, as though to erase even the trace of his existence.

Yet a miracle occurred—Chris's soul did not vanish with the disappearance of his body. Instead, it radiated an unprecedented brilliance within this nothingness.

At that moment, Chris seemed to break free from the shackles of his body, observing life and death, existence and oblivion from a wholly new perspective.

His soul began to sink, passing through layers upon layers of the consciousness abyss, each layer bearing his understanding of life, his contemplation of death.

However, in this endless descent, he gradually discovered that true death was not an end, but rather a new beginning, an essential link in the cycle of life, the wellspring of the eternal life and death of the cosmos.

On the Path of Tranquility, death was not the enemy but the most faithful companion of life.

Chris's will found the power to be reborn on the brink of destruction.

The crucial experience of life and soul both facing complete demise on the Path of Tranquility was a key step, hence the power of the Ninth Tier was fully mastered.

However, since both life and soul were dissipated and shattered, revival seemed nearly impossible.

For those on the Path of Tranquility, this was undoubtedly a tremendous challenge.

Chris felt his own will crumbling bit by bit.

At that point, not even a remnant of his consciousness would remain...

And as his soul was on the brink of being devoured by eternal darkness, the Demise Clan's God Power that he had obtained from Byrne and Irene appeared, its thick black mist making Chris's will exceptionally resolute.

"Death" was ended by "Demise"!
