Chapter 12: Waiting

Strength and physique were certainly good, but as a Soul Severing Shadow, one of the bodily abilities Su Xiao needed to steadily improve was the soul. His innate ability, Soul Devourer, could provide stable growth, but it was a god-tier talent for the early, middle, and late stages. In the late-late stage, the enhancement brought by this talent ability was clearly insufficient.

Su Xiao immediately chose [Soul Wisdom]. For every subsequent 1 point of Supreme Intelligence increased, it would raise Soul Strength by 10 points. For other peak powerhouses, this wasn't a huge gain, but for him, each time he devoured a [Supreme Passive], he gained 80 to 100 points in all Supreme Attributes. That meant a single increase of over a thousand points in Soul Strength — an incredibly exaggerated improvement.

Unfortunately, he hadn't mastered this characteristic before. Otherwise, his Soul Strength would have already shot past 5000+. Currently, his Soul Strength was only 2472 points, so weak that even the [Absolute Will] ability couldn't fully awaken, leaving it in a semi-awakened state.

If any Soul System powerhouse knew that 2472 points of Soul Strength was being associated with the word "weak," they would instinctively clench their fists and prepare to land a heavily charged punch on the person who made such a claim.

[Your Supreme Intelligence attribute has been upgraded.]

[Subsequently, as your Supreme Intelligence attribute increases, the comprehensive strength of your Azure Shadow King ability will also be enhanced.]

[Azure Shadow King: X (Ultimate Rank Skill)]

Skill Effect (State 1: Demon Shadow - Active): Upon activation, all your Supreme Attributes increase by 20%. Each time you kill an enemy (the enemy must have a sufficiently high existence rank, such as Abyss Spawn, Elemental Spirits, powerful beings of the Star Realm, etc.), by absorbing the enemy's [Primordial Life Force], through the transformation and filtration of [Azure Shadow King: Devouring Core], you recover 25% of your maximum Health, 25% of your maximum Mana, 25% of your maximum Stamina, and 25% of your Azure Shadow King Energy, and gain 1 layer of [Demon Spirit Battle Armor].

Demon Spirit Battle Armor: The damage you receive within 1 second will not exceed 20% of your maximum Health. The portion exceeding this will be negated by consuming 1 layer of [Demon Spirit Battle Armor] (if the attack intensity requiring negation is too high, more layers of [Demon Spirit Battle Armor] will be consumed).

Current maximum accumulable layers of Demon Spirit Battle Armor: 5 layers.

Tip: Maintaining this state consumes 1 point of Azure Shadow King Energy per second.

Current Azure Shadow King Energy: 5/920 points (Azure Shadow King Energy can recover naturally; estimated 36 hours to full recovery).

Warning: Prolonged maintenance of the Azure Shadow King state will lead to [Demon Blade Transformation]. When [Demon Blade Transformation] exceeds 70%, it becomes irreversible.

Tip: Your current True Willpower attribute determines your resistance to [Demon Blade Transformation].

Skill Effect (State 2: Annihilation Shadow - Active): Immediately consume all [Azure Shadow King Energy]. The next attack deals [True Damage] equal to 150% of the enemy's lost body energy.

...

Azure Shadow King had two states. State 1 needed no further explanation; it was a god-tier skill when deep in the Abyss. Killing enemies not only restored health, mana, and stamina but also replenished [Azure Shadow King] energy. One problem was that staying in the [Azure Shadow King: Demon Shadow] state for too long would trigger Demon Blade Transformation. Once Demon Blade Transformation exceeded 70%, it was permanent and irreversible.

Su Xiao suddenly thought of something. Under what circumstances would a Law Destroyer who had mastered Azure Shadow King to this extent undergo Demon Blade Transformation? Mastering Azure Shadow King to this degree meant they had already reached the peak realm. This was the threshold of the ultimate Azure Shadow King.

Su Xiao could only think of one possibility: when forced to fight in the Abyss, facing the endless, immortal, and indestructible Abyss Spawn, one could truly fall into such a predicament.

Currently, in the Star Realm, there was only one Demon Blade, located in the Void. A conjecture arose: did the appearance of this Demon Blade represent something?

The currently known information about this Demon Blade was likely all fabricated, even to the extent of falsifying cause and effect. The reason was to conceal an ultimate secret.

One of the most important major events in the Star Realm was the decisive battle between the Tuanzhang and the previous Lord of the Abyss.

At that time, during the duel between the Tuanzhang and the previous Lord of the Abyss, did the Tuanzhang truly enter the Abyss alone? Or rather, was the predecessor of the Demon Blade — the only surviving Ancestral Law Destroyer from the Law Destruction and Spellcaster campaign — already on the side of Reincarnation Paradise at that time?

This was not impossible. Reincarnation Paradise did have a Law Destroyer inheritance system. Reasoning backwards, if this surviving Law Destroyer hadn't existed, Reincarnation Paradise wouldn't have such a complete Law Destroyer inheritance system. Relying solely on the notarization applications made by Mawen and others would have made this difficult to achieve.

When the Tuanzhang fought the previous Lord of the Abyss, he inevitably had to enter the Abyss. If he faced the endless, immortal, indestructible Abyss Spawn and the [Ancient Abyss Existences], even the Tuanzhang couldn't have engaged the previous Lord of the Abyss. By the time he fought his way through and met the previous Lord of the Abyss, he would have been nearly exhausted.

So someone cleared the path for the Tuanzhang. That's right, it was this surviving Law Destroyer. He not only helped the Tuanzhang clear a path through the Abyss but might even have used the Azure Shadow King state to hold back the endless, immortal, indestructible Abyss Spawn and the powerful [Ancient Abyss Existences] from reinforcing the previous Lord of the Abyss.

At that time, the Tuanzhang was at the Supreme Realm, meaning he had transcended the Supreme tier. The problem was that the previous Lord of the Abyss was also at the Supreme Realm.

The specific outcome was unknown. The previous Lord of the Abyss vanished without a trace. The Tuanzhang fell to the Supreme Peak. And the Star Realm gained a Demon Blade.

Ask yourself, why did the Starry Sky Seat allow the Demon Blade, who often lacked reason and was mostly dominated by the desire to kill, to join? Because the creator of the Starry Sky Seat was the Tuanzhang, and the Demon Blade was his close friend, always had been.

Furthermore, most Demon Blades in history didn't die in battle. They died on the path of gradually regaining their self. When a Demon Blade regained their self, that was the moment of their death.

This also created a phenomenon: from the First Era to the present, there had been a total of six Demon Blades. Many records treated these six Demon Blades as one person. This was why the origins of the current Demon Blade were often contradictory — because they were the life experiences of six different people.

This also made it easier for the Tuanzhang to fabricate the current Demon Blade's identity. This concerned a secret that the Starry Sky Seat absolutely could not be known by the outside world. Furthermore, among the current eight members of the Starry Sky Seat, only No. 0 Black Law and No. 2 Tuanzhang knew this secret.

Also, the Demon Blade was the No. 1 member of the Starry Sky Seat. Previously, it was hard to understand why the Tuanzhang wasn't the No. 1 member. Now, everything made sense.

This was also why, to this day, Arcane Eternal Star had never planned to besiege and kill the Demon Blade. The Demon Blade himself was at the Supreme Peak. Moreover, this really couldn't be done. Arcane Eternal Star's reputation among the major powers was already not great. If they besieged and killed the Demon Blade, their reputation would be even worse, and they would thoroughly offend the Tuanzhang.

Su Xiao had previously been puzzled by one thing: when he was at the mid-to-low ranks, the attitude the Tuanzhang showed towards him was like an old friend, especially after joining the Starry Sky Seat. It seemed this was also because the Tuanzhang had once had a Law Destroyer as a close friend and understood Law Destroyers better.

Although [Azure Shadow King: Demon Shadow] carried the risk of Demon Blade Transformation, the good news was that the higher his Willpower, the slower the accumulation rate of the 'Demon Blade gauge' in the [Azure Shadow King: Demon Shadow] state.

Su Xiao's current True Willpower was 2472 points. For every 1 point increase in Soul Strength, True Willpower increased by 1 point. Even more wonderfully, increasing 1 point of Supreme Intelligence raised Soul Strength by 10 points, and True Willpower would also increase by 10 points accordingly.

In that case, if he were to truly clash with the current Lord of the Abyss in the future, Su Xiao could clear his own path. He could fight his way alone to where the current Lord of the Abyss was located. Whether it was the powerful, immortal, indestructible Abyss Spawn or the [Ancient Abyss Existences], anyone blocking the way would be cut down.

The strength of [Azure Shadow King: Demon Shadow] was impeccable, even boosting survivability by a large margin. But when fighting a powerful enemy, the second state of Azure Shadow King, [Annihilation Shadow], was even more ferocious.

If it were the unawakened Azure Steel Shadow Energy, it wouldn't highlight the ferocity of [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow]. But now:

[Azure Steel Shadow: Lv.215: Active Effect: Each melee attack burns 30% of the enemy's maximum Mana...]

Su Xiao had actually been concerned about one thing: he had seen enemies with 800% maximum Health, but he had indeed never seen an enemy with over 100% body energy. That meant, after taking three of his strikes, the enemy's body energy would be nearly depleted. The fourth strike would completely drain their mana.

The problem lay here. If the enemy was a powerful melee type, things would get troublesome. At that point, the Azure Steel Shadow ability would basically be useless. The enemy had no body energy, so Azure Steel Shadow Energy couldn't burn energy, and thus couldn't deal True Damage.

[Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow] perfectly compensated for this. When the enemy's mana was empty, a strike imbued with [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow] would deal extremely terrifying True Damage.

Taking Su Xiao himself as an example, with his 30 million Mana points, if he were empty and took a hit from [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow], that would be 45 million points of True Damage. Don't think this was just a damage number. With this level of True Damage, it would be normal for the enemy's body to be blasted apart on the spot.

Let alone 45 million points of True Damage. Even 10 million True Damage, if hit by it, would cause problems at the soul, causal, and existential levels. Yes, when one aspect was pushed to the extreme, the levels it could affect became very terrifying.

What was even more terrifying about [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow] was that the skill description stated:

[Next attack], not [Next melee attack].

What did this mean? As long as Su Xiao's next attack was strong enough to bear [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow], he could completely use [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow] from mid-to-long range. And [Extreme Blade: Azure Demon] was a good choice. Azure Demon's characteristic was speed, extreme speed.

No, it couldn't be called [Azure Demon] anymore. It should be respectfully called [Extreme Blade: Azure King].

Although [Azure Demon] was extremely fast, it could still be dodged. In a life-or-death battle, using a melee slash to deliver [Azure Shadow King: Annihilation Shadow] was more reliable.

He checked the time. There was still plenty of time before the deadline for Main Mission 2. He planned to make a long journey. But before that, he first needed to adapt to his physique after all Supreme Attributes were raised to 402 points.

Crack, crack, crack~

The Law-Destroying Teleportation Array formed beneath Su Xiao's feet. With a dull thud, he reappeared in the Abyss Spreading Zone near Beast Town.

Ahead was a thousand-meter-tall, pitch-black world breach, shaped like a huge, dark, and dilapidated door. Strands of darkness surged from within.

Clang~

The long blade was drawn. The Law Destroyer, bare-chested, with his long blade pointing diagonally at the ground, walked towards the Abyss door ahead.

...

Eternal City: Orr, West Side, a decaying swamp area.

Dark Sun walked with difficulty in this place, feeling the power continuously emanating from the black stone slab on his back, and his own growing strength. His gaze became increasingly determined. As for the ring mark that inexplicably appeared on his right index finger, he didn't know why, nor did he want to know. The power he had gained was real, and that was enough.

What was even more peculiar was that just as the Dark God Temple was preparing to expel Dark Sun and the others, before the Dark God Temple could even express its stance, Dark Sun quickly left the [Eternal City]. Although Dark Sun was not good at strategy, he understood the principle of "possessing a treasure invites disaster." He wasn't stupid enough to stay in the Eternal City after obtaining such a treasure.

In response, the high-ranking members of the Dark God Temple breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as these five guys could take away that Original Sin Object, it was well worth abandoning the plan they had intended to use them for.

At this moment, several dozen kilometers behind the foul swamp, Black A, Boiling Red, Sun Apostle, and even Crystal Gaze had unusually determined looks. They were absolutely certain of one thing: they had to seize the treasure Dark Sun had obtained. This was their only chance to break the deadlock, and also a way to gain powerful strength.

"Boiling Red."

Black A spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, Boiling Red Alisa raised her right hand slightly, and surging crimson energy emerged. She whispered:

'Godspeed.'

This mass of crimson energy entered Black A's back. After a moment, the flesh and blood all over Black A's body writhed.

Boom!

Black A's speed increased more than tenfold. Moments later, a roar came from ahead. Mud and water splashed in all directions like a huge blooming flower.

Solar Embers dissipated in the air. At the center of the battle, Dark Sun, who had been besieged by Black A and the other three for several rounds, lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently. Even so, he still tightly clutched the black stone slab with one arm.

Plop, plop~

Black A walked on the muddy water. In the humid environment, he looked down coldly at Dark Sun, stepped on Dark Sun's face with one foot, crushing his head into the mud, and bent down to forcibly tear the black stone slab from his arms.

"I can feel it, calling to me."

Black A smiled, a rare occurrence, revealing a mouthful of sharp, jagged teeth. Black tendrils spread from his hand, entwining around the black stone slab. As the binding force increased, the black stone slab began to shrink. When it was only the size of a book, Black A opened his mouth, tilted his head back, stuffed the black stone slab into his mouth, and forcibly swallowed it with a gulp.

The arriving Crimson, Sun Apostle, and Crystal Gaze all witnessed this scene. Their goal was clear: first stop Dark Sun, then compete for the black treasure later. As the saying goes, let the capable obtain it.

"Hehehe, hahahaha!"

Black A laughed wildly. Needless to say, the [Mad Laughing Ghost Mask] had successfully transferred to him.

Normally, the [Mad Laughing Ghost Mask] couldn't do this. The problem was that Black A and Dark Sun were highly homologous. The [Mad Laughing Ghost Mask], which had completely parasitized Dark Sun, had successfully transferred, especially since Black A was in a state of very confused consciousness.

Why was this so? The answer was that the seal on the fifth page of the [Book of Original Sin] sealed within the black stone slab had been partially opened. And the [Grand Daddy Rank Original Sin Object] on the fifth page was called [Nether Bone Ring], symbolizing the original sin of: Power.

"I finally understand. Everything is the creator's conspiracy. I, we are all incomplete. The five of us together are the complete whole. So... let me eat you all."

Black A grasped the hilt of the [Abyss Doom Greatsword] stuck in the ground with one hand.

Was Su Xiao's target Dark Sun? Of course not. Dark Sun was stupid enough, so he could be the trigger for this plan, but not a good executor. And Black A, ambitious and strong enough, was the best executor.

What did Su Xiao need Black A to do? Actually, it was very simple. Ceaselessly crave power from the [Nether Bone Ring], stir up the Original Sin cause and effect. This would make it easier for Su Xiao to 'grasp' this cause and effect and break it.

In fact, the entire plan was very simple. It was just that the five members of the Devourer Squad often fought wits with the air, which sometimes made their actions inexplicable.

Use the [Mad Laughing Ghost Mask] to parasitize Dark Sun. After deep parasitism, let the [Mad Laughing Ghost Mask] subtly change Dark Sun's thoughts, making him actively seek out the black stone slab that sealed the [Book of Original Sin] inside.

The moment Dark Sun saw the black stone slab, the five members of the Devourer Squad officially fell into hell.

Their cause and effect were closely linked. Dark Sun was affected by the [Nether Bone Ring], and the other four would soon be affected as well, no matter how far they were from Dark Sun. This was a Grand Daddy Rank Original Sin Object.

After being affected by the [Nether Bone Ring], it would be the five members of the Devourer Squad fighting over the black stone slab. Then let them perform as they wished. The more spectacular, the better. As for the two major powers of this world interfering, were the Dark God Temple and the Night Mother Faction crazy? Getting involved with the [Book of Original Sin] for no reason?

...

Sanctuary City: Gran. The Lord's Train stopped in front of the Grand Cathedral. Su Xiao, covered in blood-stained bandages, stepped off the train. He needed to rest now. After fighting for over ten hours in the near-Abyss zone, although Azure Shadow King could restore stamina, the mental and soul fatigue from high-intensity combat could not be recovered.

Fortunately, after advancing to the Supreme Peak, the innate skill [Sleep] that came with being born as a human had also advanced with his strength. Returning to the large room on the third floor where the [Awakening Stele] was placed, smelling the natural floral scent in the air and the warm-toned layout, he lay down on the velvet carpet and was about to fall asleep.

A sense of palpitation made him suddenly open his eyes. After carefully sensing for a moment, he was satisfied with the state of the [Book of Original Sin]. Then, he fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he slept.

Thump, thump, thump~

It sounded like someone was tapping on the window. Su Xiao abruptly opened his eyes. Sitting up, he found himself in a strange room. Except for the ceiling, the room was composed of grid windows. Outside, unknown, a howling wind was causing the grid windows to rattle and shake. This was a place that felt very insecure, both mentally and physically.

Thump, thump, thump~

A tapping sound came from the ceiling. Suddenly, the wind outside tore open all the surrounding grid windows. A gale swept in, and his consciousness began to blur.

Without any reason, Su Xiao raised his hand and grabbed at the empty space beside him.

Squeak~!

A rat-like cry came from his hand. Everything around him instantly disappeared. Su Xiao opened his eyes. He was still in the room on the third floor of the Grand Cathedral. Outside, the sun was shining and the wind was gentle. There was no gale. Instead, his left hand, the combat prosthetic made of Aoge crystals, was gripping an Abyssal creature with a rat-like body, a long, pointed head, and a tail covered in black scales.

This creature was called [Tun Yu]. It was an Abyssal creature whose frontal combat strength wasn't strong, but it was very dangerous. It would silently stalk its prey, tracking them by burrowing into their dreams. When the prey fell asleep, it was its domain. It would annihilate the prey's consciousness in the dream, and then Tun Yu would enter its molting phase, completely taking over the occupied body.

For others, this Abyssal creature was useless. But for Su Xiao, it was a treasure. Previously, he had obtained that [Ji Ju]. He didn't know if it was anorexic or had a stubborn temper, but it actually refused to eat the Black Maple Tree branches fed to it.

If it didn't quickly consume 5 to 7 times its body weight in Black Maple Tree yield, it wouldn't enter a state similar to indigestion, and thus couldn't produce the [Fatty Substance] with strong Life Soul characteristics. This was the main material for concocting [Life Soul Secret Medicine].

Regarding the effect of [Life Soul Secret Medicine], when Primordial Life Force withered to the point of imminent death, drinking [Life Soul Secret Medicine] could extend life by at least a thousand years.

Su Xiao was sure that the day of his decisive battle with Arcane Eternal Star was not far off. The terrifying resource consumption of [Heavenly Edge Shadow Severing] required him to get a windfall.

In the Star Realm, there were actually quite a few powerful old immortals. Some of them were nearing death. They couldn't refuse [Life Soul Secret Medicine]. Furthermore, the families that relied on them to intimidate the four corners were willing to pay a heavy price for these family ancestors.

Su Xiao's idea was simple: let [Tun Yu] devour [Ji Ju] and take its place. Then, let it devour [Black Maple Tree Yield] to produce [Fatty Substance] with strong Life Soul characteristics.

Arriving before the [Awakening Stele], Su Xiao placed one hand on it. It was still the same process. He refined all 150 Law-Destroying Skill Points gained, and poured all 30 refined Law-Destroying Skill Points into Azure Steel Shadow Energy.

At first, everything was normal. But just as the upgrade was about to complete, a faint, stabbing pain came from all over his body. This made his expression serious. Raising Azure Steel Shadow Energy from Lv.215 to Lv.245 was already absurd to the extreme. If it continued to increase without any prerequisites, that would actually be hiding an even bigger problem.

Currently, reaching Lv.245 for Azure Steel Shadow Energy was the limit of his 400-point Supreme Stamina attribute. It was estimated that only after raising Supreme Stamina to 500 points could he consider continuing to upgrade Azure Steel Shadow Energy.

After meditating for a few hours, Su Xiao's breathing calmed. He checked the upgraded Azure Steel Shadow ability.

[Azure Steel Shadow: Lv.245 (Active/Passive Skill - Fully Awakened State)]

Usage Condition: After activating Azure Steel Shadow ability, consumes 231,000 Mana per minute.

Active Effect: Each melee attack burns 36% of the enemy's maximum Mana (or other Supreme body energy), and deals True Damage equal to 1.25 times the burned Mana, which is 45% of maximum Health as True Damage. The enemy will suffer [Severe Pain] from the mana burn.

Defensive Form: Aoge (Passive), can generate crystals of any shape to defend against enemy attacks. Crystal strength is proportional to the Mana consumed. The single-use Mana consumption cap is 10% of the current [Mana Cap]. Crystal layer defense rank +109.

...

Azure Steel Shadow's mana consumption was becoming increasingly outrageous. Correspondingly, its strength was also outrageously high.

Just then, the communicator beside him rang. Answering it, it was Zuiyasi's father-in-law, Chief Priest Bergman.

A noisy hissing sound came from the other end, as if in an area with a lot of sand churning and rubbing, causing poor communication signal. The content was very simple: asking Su Xiao to go to [Yin Mi Mao Si], which was the current base camp of [Ya Er Gu Academy].

It was worth mentioning that the [Second Madhouse] was also in [Yin Mi Mao Si]. Su Xiao's Bounty 1: [Mad Heart] currently belonged to the [Second Madhouse].

Regarding the [Mad Heart], Su Xiao would choose to trade if possible. If trading wasn't possible, then he would snatch it... ahem~, it should be, after a physical-level intense exchange, the resulting spoils of war. Well, it was indeed a hard snatch. Trying to reason with madmen in a madhouse was very difficult.

...

Void: Arcane Eternal Star.

The magnificent Elemental Superconducting Tower stood between heaven and earth. This was the tallest and most magnificent building in Arcane Eternal Star.

Crack!

A bolt of elemental lightning fell, absorbed by the receptor at the top of the Elemental Superconducting Tower, adding to the building's mystery and historical feel.

Outside the top-floor room of the Elemental Superconducting Tower, Mage Sage Seraphilia, the Frostwind King, and the new dean of Zhongshi Academy, Raging Sea Hells, were all present.

Actually, Raging Sea Hells wasn't very suitable to be the new dean. But all unsuitability was insignificant under his Supreme Peak strength. That's right, this was Arcane Eternal Star's unknown peak powerhouse, the ocean calamity obsessed with constantly strengthening himself, Raging Sea Hells.

Only Soul Lord was missing. The leaders of Arcane Eternal Star's four major factions would then be complete. Soul Lord was in Doom Star, dealing with the Law Destroyer. His absence now left others with nothing to say.

"What does the Supreme Being want us for?"

Mage Sage Seraphilia spoke in a deep voice. It could be seen that her mood was very bad. Last time, being blocked by Su Xiao on the Demon Train and not daring to get off had nearly shattered her 'Dao heart.' The enemy she could easily kill in the past, although he hadn't harmed her in the slightest this time, had given her extreme humiliation and a blow.

"Not sure."

The Frostwind King was unusually serious. The Raging Sea Hells beside him remained silent. He was the type who rarely spoke, but when he did, he could choke someone half to death. It wasn't that Raging Sea Hells lacked emotional intelligence; he simply didn't care about others' impressions and feelings. If someone displeased him, he would just kill them.

Thump, thump, thump.

Seraphilia knocked on the metal door, but there was no sound from inside. Seeing this, she pushed the door open. A vast, empty, dimly lit room came into view. A solid throne made of golden elemental power was at the center of the room. A figure was leaning back on it. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he slowly opened his eyes. It was the Supreme Being. He asked the three present:

"Mawen's disciple, has he achieved the peak?"

"Yes."

The Frostwind King answered seriously. Hearing this, the Supreme Being seemed to nod slightly.

"Still not enough. He still cannot, bear it."

The Supreme Being closed his eyes, leaned back on the elemental throne, and fell into slumber. He wasn't wary of the Law Destroyer who had sealed the Supreme Peak. Instead, his eyes showed anticipation. The last one he had anticipated was the Tuanzhang. Unfortunately, the Tuanzhang hadn't managed to take the final step to the peak, which also meant he hadn't reached the minimum line required by the Supreme Being.

Even the Supreme Being's powerful strength would eventually come to an end under the long passage of time in the river of ages. And the Supreme Being did not want to welcome this end. So, he needed another powerful being at the Supreme Throne to seize their cause and effect.

Unfortunately, he had waited for a long, long time. There were indeed those who had reached the Supreme Realm, but he hadn't waited for the Supreme Throne rank.

As for the Supreme Being losing? Don't be ridiculous. Even if one sealed the Supreme level that transcended the Supreme tier, and even if they later broke through the Supreme level to achieve the Supreme Throne realm, they still wouldn't be a match for the Supreme Being.

So much so that even if the Star Realm was completely invaded by the Abyss and entered the Abyss Era, the Supreme Being still wouldn't care. Because if the current Lord of the Abyss could seal the Supreme Throne realm, that was also what the Supreme Being wanted to see.

The Supreme Being had no rivals and was undefeatable. His only enemy was the long passage of time, a span so terrifyingly long that it would cause even the Ancient Abyss Existences and Star Realm anomalous beings to decay and die.

And, in the ancient era before the First Era, the Supreme Being was already waiting like this, up to the present day.

This was also why the Supreme Being had always been watching over all beings, waiting. Because everything that had happened before and was happening now, he, didn't care. He only needed to wait.
