Chapter 103: Divine Relic — The Might of an Ancient Fragment

The entire Blackwater Clan had staked its resources and hopes on Maurice, sparing no effort to support him and grooming him as the clan’s future Sanctuary.

He was the lifeblood and future of the whole clan, so important that even a quasi-Epic powerhouse had been assigned as his guardian.

If he were truly killed here, the Blackwater Clan would not only be driven mad by grief—they would descend into outright frenzy.

That was why the moment Raine spoke those words, everyone present was instantly shaken.

Maurice possessed the strength of an eighth-rank Master, yet he dared to challenge a first-rank Grandmaster head-on.

The various Master-tier abilities he commanded were terrifyingly powerful. As for his battle will, there was no doubt whatsoever about the resolve of a true prodigy.

He must have planted numerous unimaginably powerful Law Seeds back at the Expert stage. The arts and combat techniques he wielded were many, and his combat experience and skill were exceptionally rich.

He was fundamentally different from the Master-level experts Raine had encountered before.

Those Masters were also geniuses who had grown through hardship, with respectable combat power and techniques—but their potential was far inferior, not even in the same league as a true prodigy.

Raine did not know whether Maurice stood at the very pinnacle among all prodigies.

But one thing was certain—

He was incredibly powerful!

Far stronger even than Bruce, the prodigy of the Thunderclan whom Raine had faced before!

Even if Raine were to temporarily advance to ninth-rank Master, multiplying his strength severalfold, he still would not be able to dispatch Maurice as effortlessly as he had slain other Masters by the Swiftflow River.

The two sides’ formidable arts and combat techniques collided violently.

The Godform of the Thunder Sovereign smashed into shadowy black mist.

Obsidian Golem, Bewitching Eye, Judgment Spear, Void Thunder, and other abilities clashed fiercely with Lord of Waters, Swamp Gazer, Shadow Devour, and more.

Mountain after mountain collapsed under the aftermath, and space itself was torn open with gaping cracks.

Raine’s offensive was overwhelmingly fierce.

The newly mastered Judgment Waltz erupted without warning—ten arcs of blade light merged into a blazing river, cleaving apart the black mist barrier around Maurice and even piercing through his Godform.

Raine transformed into a streak of light, charging forward at lightning speed. He pushed the power of thunder to its absolute limit, fully unleashing the lethal might of the Divine Relic — Thunder Prison Blade in his hand.

"This is bad—why is this human’s power so terrifying?!"

The black-robed young servant’s expression changed drastically. A streak of black light shot up from above his head and blasted toward Raine without hesitation.

"You’re courting death!"

Maurice stopped holding back.

He took out a black crystal sphere.

Strands of dark water rippled from it, cascading downward as patterns resembling black serpent scales spread across its surface.

The heavens and earth changed color. Space began to collapse. Endless black radiance surged forth from the void like smoke, pouring into the black crystal sphere...

In an instant, black light flooded the skies!

A horrifying pressure swept outward like a raging torrent, instantly annihilating all the flying blades and continuing to expand in every direction.

Even the Thunder Prison Blade let out a mournful cry as it was blasted away!

Raine’s expression froze.

The vast, heaven-shaking might continued to spread, suppressing countless living beings within its range.

"A Divine Relic!"

Alien races, human prodigies, and alien beasts alike turned pale with shock, their eyes locked onto the crystal sphere as their pupils shrank sharply.

That black crystal sphere was unquestionably a terrifying Divine Relic!

It was a symbol of a clan’s deepest foundation!

The Blackwater Clan had truly gone all out—entrusting even such a treasure to Maurice, which showed just how highly they valued him.

Even the lowest-grade elementary Divine Relic possessed unrivaled power.

Raine stared intently at the crystal sphere, his desire to fully master the Thunder Prison Blade growing even more urgent.

Both were Divine Relics, yet his opponent’s relic was clearly one that could be completely controlled and wielded, allowing it to unleash far greater power!

In contrast, the Thunder Prison Blade in Raine’s hands felt more like an incomparably sharp supreme transcendent weapon.

The guardians of the alien prodigies nearby no longer dared take a single step forward, all of them cowed by the killing aura of the Divine Relic.

Maurice floated before the black crystal sphere. Brilliant black light radiated for thousands of meters, making him appear like a ferocious god standing beneath a black sun.

Every ripple of dark water carried extraordinary killing power—enough to effortlessly pierce the Godform of any Master-level expert.

Even Raine’s thunderous onslaught was being suppressed.

This finally allowed Maurice’s servant to breathe a small sigh of relief.

"I’ll personally end you, this patrol prodigy!"

With the Divine Relic empowering him, Maurice brimmed with confidence.

Not only had he revealed his Divine Relic trump card, but in order to completely slay Raine, he even activated the Blackwater Clan’s powerful bloodline inheritance art—

Dark Descent!

The void itself seemed to rot, tearing open countless rifts as boundless black mist poured forth, blotting out the sky and dragging Raine into this world of darkness.

This mist was the breath of the Legendary alien beast — the Blackwater Demon Serpent. It not only devoured all mind-power perception, but also possessed terrifying corrosive force.

Even the black-robed servant was so frightened that he hurriedly activated defensive skills.

"This is bad—Maurice is going all out!"

All humans, alien races, and alien beasts were thrown into panic.

Even the guardians of the alien prodigies shouted in alarm.

"Maurice! My Lavafolk clansmen are still in there—stop this at once!"

But Maurice ignored them all.

At this moment, he had only one thought—

Kill Raine!

The instant Dark Descent enveloped Raine, the Divine Relic crystal sphere slammed down violently.

Raine immediately deployed Obsidian Colossus and a lightning barrier, while simultaneously driving the Thunder Prison Blade to meet the attack.

Boom!

The Thunder Prison Blade collided with the Divine Relic crystal sphere, producing an earth-shattering explosion.

The storm of killing power spread outward in all directions, yet it could not disperse the dense black mist.

This sight even surprised Raine.

The Thunder Prison Blade was knocked back once more. He swiftly recalled it, blocking the shockwave. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

At the same time, Blood Pact, Void Thunder, and Oblivion Domain were unleashed in succession. Endless rays of destruction pierced through the black fog like dawn breaking through storm clouds.

This was his countermeasure!

Within the black mist, it was impossible to discern direction—but attacking was still possible!

Maurice locked onto Raine and struck again with the crystal sphere.

As expected, sensing the peak killing intent, Raine confirmed the direction.

Yet instead of retreating, he charged straight toward the Divine Relic!

"Let’s see if this works!"

Raine pulled out a small fragment of the ancient supreme Divine Relic — Riftblade.

He had yet to fully grasp how to use this fragment, but the sheer hardness of a supreme Divine Relic was beyond doubt—more than enough to withstand the impact of Maurice’s crystal sphere.

He channeled all his power and hurled the fragment straight at it!

The fragment became a streak of ultimate light, its speed and force astonishing, carrying with it Raine’s overwhelming might!

Clang!

The two collided head-on, bursting into a shower of dazzling sparks.

At the instant of impact, a strand of dark water from the crystal sphere landed upon the fragment, unexpectedly triggering the ancient power engraved within it!

A terrifying beam of light—one that seemed capable of cleaving the world itself—erupted forth, instantly blasting the crystal sphere away!

Boom!

The black crystal sphere tore through the void as the water-ripple patterns surrounding it rapidly dimmed.

The horrific killing light shredded the surrounding space in an instant.

High in the sky, Borm and the Blackwater Clan’s quasi-Epic powerhouse were both startled. Their mind power swept downward at once, sensing that unique pressure belonging to a supreme Divine Relic.

That radiance carried traces of the laws of heaven and earth!

Caught completely off guard, Maurice had his arm severed by a stray ray of light. Blood sprayed as his face twisted in agony.

He tried to circulate Nex to regenerate—but to his horror, a strange force was blocking his recovery.

"How is this possible..."

"This is also a Divine Relic—and of extremely high grade!"
