A slash energy powerful enough to kill immortals burst forth from the sword, expanding in a perfect arc around Aldrian’s avatar as it spread outward.

The sudden movement and the explosive speed of the attack left no time for anyone nearby to evade.

The slash energy tore through everything in its path. Before anyone could even process what had happened, it had already traveled millions of kilometers into the distance.

The center of heaven was surrounded by moons and an asteroid belt. On one side of it, the slash energy tore through many moons and asteroids, splitting them apart. It even cut across another section of Arsien Star, which had already begun breaking apart from Aldrian’s earlier strike.

One of the main worlds in the central region of heaven was already on the brink of destruction, cleaved by the sword strike and slowly dragged toward the quasar. Arsien Star itself began to lose its shape as its natural order collapsed after half of its northern hemisphere already gone.

Countless devils who remained on Arsien Star already perished in this moment. Massive earthquakes could be felt across the entire world. Supervolcanoes erupted everywhere, their power enough to kill even pseudo immortal cultivators.

Arsien Star had truly entered its doomsday.

The three overlords widened their eyes as they felt the slash pass through their bodies. They could not even process the pain before their lower bodies were severed.

For Vargus, the strike cut through the base of his six necks and down to his lower back. One of his beast cores was destroyed, leaving him with only one remaining.

The Cerberus was split in half, its core cut apart, killing it instantly.

The three gods were also shaken. The woman, in particular, could not hide her shock.

She had not expected Aldrian to remain unaffected by her restraining technique!

She thought that even an immortal foundation stage cultivator would not be able to move under this technique, no matter how strong they were.

Yet Aldrian withstood both the curse and the restraining chains. He even broke them.

’How could he withstand the Chains of Divine Damnation?’

Then she realized something.

Aldrian’s strange golden energy.

From the beginning, she had sensed the pure and overwhelming aura it exuded. It was powerful enough to affect even her existence as a being of the divine realm. That alone could explain why her curse based technique had no effect on him.

The golden energy radiated a sacred presence that directly opposed curse type techniques.

It felt different from divine energy. It was purer and far more powerful, as though it stood above divine energy itself.

’Wait... I have felt this kind of energy before.’

Her eyes narrowed as she searched her memory. It did not take long before realization struck, and her eyes widened.

At the same time, Aldrian did not stop.

He moved once more, finishing the dying overlords. His sword swept through their remains, completely destroying their physical bodies.

Their souls tried to escape but Aldrian destroyed them.

The woman did nothing. Saving them offered no benefit. Their role had already ended the moment their bodies were severed.

She ignored their deaths. Instead, she frowned and looked at Aldrian.

"Mortal, where did you obtain that golden energy? How do you possess the same power as that bastard Ancient Dragon God and the Highest Divine Phoenix of this universe?"

Hearing those words, Aldrian froze.

The other two gods, who had just destroyed the remaining golden swords, also halted. Their eyes widened as realization struck.

"No wonder his energy felt familiar. Could it be that this mortal became this powerful after obtaining their inheritance?" the white-robed god said, his voice filled with astonishment.

"If that is the case, then we must keep his corpse intact. He is a valuable clue to reaching a higher realm of cultivation," the black-robed god said.

Aldrian ignored their words. His focus shifted entirely to one fact.

They knew Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan.

His expression turned completely calm, his gaze lowering slightly.

"You... how do you know Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan?" he asked in a strangely calm voice.

The goddess raised her eyebrows, a faint smirk forming on her lips.

"So, you do have a connection to them. I was part of one of the many groups tasked with pursuing them when they escaped. How could I not know them? I assume you are the one who inherited their power."

"Are they still alive, or already dead? The last time I saw them, they had escaped with severe injuries. They were troublesome opponents for our forces, but in the end, they still had to flee under our assault. To think that two of the strongest beings in this universe fled so cowardly when faced with our forces."

Her tone carried a hint of mockery.

She was deliberately trying to provoke him.

It was a common tactic. By agitating her opponent, she could force him into losing control. An enraged enemy often abandoned strategy and revealed openings.

Even if it meant facing a rampaging beast, that moment of recklessness would be enough.

A single mistake... and they could deliver a fatal blow.

The other two gods seemed to understand her intention. They did not move and simply listened as she spoke. However, all three of them were already on high alert, ready to act the moment Aldrian made his move.

They knew that even a split second of delay would cost them their lives. The energy within their bodies circulated without pause, prepared to unleash any technique at any time.

"Now that you have inherited their power, there is yet another reason for us to kill you. It is a pity to destroy someone like you, but as long as your corpse remains intact, it will be enough. You may carry the clue we have sought for so long," the goddess continued.

Aldrian said nothing.

He simply listened, his expression unchanged and his head lowered slightly. Seeing his calm demeanor making the three gods uneasy.

From their perspective, this calmness felt like the stillness before a storm.

As they remained ready to react to any movement, they suddenly saw Aldrian retract his avatar. The giant golden figure vanished, causing their eyes to narrow.

What was he planning? Why cancel his avatar technique?

A few seconds passed in silence.

Then they heard his voice.

"I see... so you are one of them."

His voice was incredibly calm.

The goddess suddenly felt tension rise within her. A sense of danger surged from the depths of her being.

Without hesitation, she activated her diviner ability to glimpse a few seconds into the future.

What she saw made her body turn cold.

She saw her own death!

She wanted to teleport to create distance, but Aldrian had already teleported beside her without giving any sign that he would use teleportation. The other two gods were still a split second too late when Aldrian appeared at her side.

She felt her body trapped within a spatial trap, making her unable to teleport, and that single split-second moment was enough to decide her fate. The other two gods had already appeared beside Aldrian, also using teleportation, and they unleashed their attacks toward him.

The black-robed god struck with his palm, coated in white energy that exuded a powerful aura of condensed lightning laws. The white-robed god followed with a palm strike coated in black energy, exuding darkness laws and fire laws.

However, before their attacks could reach him, Aldrian made them teleport to a different location slightly farther away from him. The two gods ended up attacking empty space as the white lightning and dark flames, which they thought would hit Aldrian, suddenly passed through nothing.

They realized they were already in a different place, which shocked them.

They quickly turned their heads to look around as they spread their spiritual senses to the maximum. They instantly located Aldrian, but they froze when they turned to look at him in the distance.

What they saw was unreal.

They felt as if they were dreaming.

That was because they saw Aldrian had already stabbed their fellow divine realm cultivator through the chest. Goldenish blood flowed from her lips as her eyes trembled, slowly turning to the side where Aldrian’s face was right beside hers.

She could not move, as something restrained her completely.

She wanted to use space laws to escape, but it was as if the space around her no longer obeyed her command.

"BREAK THE SEAL!" the black-robed god roared as he used teleportation to rush toward Aldrian. The white-robed god did the same, but in the next instant, they found themselves displaced once again, this time sent in different directions.

The goddess already knew what she had to do without needing to be told.

In that moment, she chose to break the seal on her cultivation. The energy within her began to transform, rising into true divine energy.

However, Aldrian, who had already embedded the Sword of the End into her chest, spoke calmly beside her ear.

"This is for my followers, and for everything you have done to my universe."

Hearing those words, the goddess’s eyes widened.

"You—"

Before she could finish, a dark energy suddenly burst from her chest and rapidly engulfed her body. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Aaargghh!" she cried in agony as she felt every part of her being being torn apart.

The two gods who witnessed this were completely shaken as they realized what that dark energy was.

"DEATH LAWS?! HOW COULD HE HAVE COMPREHENDED DEATH LAWS?!" the black-robed god roared in disbelieve.
