Chapter 455 - Dazzling Fireworks

Chapter 455: Dazzling Fireworks

A black tide had begun to swallow the Galaxy, and news of it came late to the four Domains.

Crownless Assembly was attacking!

The Almighty Crownless didn’t show himself. This was the Relentless’ work.

When the Wordless Upheaval was unveiling, they did not hesitate to go on the offensive against the Domains.

On a star, outside the path to immortality, a Heavenly Court’s Supreme Gold Immortal saw in a range of a thousand li how star fragments littered the sky and shook in the wind. They moved with great speed and as they passed through the Galaxy, they ignited into big balls of fire and rained down on the star behind him.

He cursed, “Damn it! They had to attack now. All Earth Immortal guards left for Sacred Mountain. How do we defend now?”

“So this is how the Crownless Assembly wants to proceed. But who went for the offender?”

A meteor landed behind him, blowing out a cultivator. It threw him on the ground, his eyes lifeless as he muttered, “My little nine is dead. My little nine is dead…”

He said the same thing over and over again, but then he heard the Supreme Gold Immortal’s disdain, “Since they started, they are certain of the offender’s death. Crownless Assembly doesn’t decide, it takes!”

He ignored the cultivator blasted from the meteor, and began barking orders, “Everyone, be it Celestial Immortal or Gold Immortal, are to join the war. We must not lose this star at all costs! If we lose this, beyond this path to immortality the lands will be free for the taking, defenseless!”

In the end, the Supreme Gold Immortal didn’t last long. Each star shined with a resplendent light, but it wasn’t the star’s power, and instead, the fire swallowing it whole.

Stars ignited one after the other, spreading across the constellation.

Black-robed cultivators began taking control of each star and returned them under Crownless Assembly’s rule.

Nr. 0 stepped on the path to immortality as the Inevitables walked towards him to report, “We have captured this crucial star. From here on out, there’s no one to oppose our charge!”

“This time we might control the Galaxy!”

“Sire Relentless, please give the order.”

Nr. 0’s eye landed on the muttering cultivator and waved for silence, “If you don’t want to die, retreat from this star.”

One Inevitable asked, “Sire, what happened?”

Nr. 0 walked before the cultivator, “This must be Heavenly Court’s Martyr, Big Dipper’s Star Lord, right?”

The reclined cultivators sat straight, “My sun is dead, and all shall pay for this.”

He stood, eyes shining.

He looked at the sky, at the stars Nr. 0’s Blades captured.

He then gazed at Nr. 0, “This is your price to pay!”

His body exploded with killing intent and one by one, the stars ruptured dazzlingly, into a million fireworks.

They all had Nr. 0’s Blades on them.

Under the shower of fireworks, the Inevitables watched Big Dipper’s Star Lord with fear. This unremarkable man was Heavenly Court’s Martyr!

Each Martyr was an Immortal King of unrivaled power. They were the crutch of the four Domains, their strongest backing!

Only now Nr. 0’s words sank in.

They along with the Faceless scrambled from this star. They didn’t dare stay and left the rest in sire Relentless’ hands. They had no power in this battle.

Big Dipper’s Star Lord smiled, “Are you that outstanding Nr. 0 Relentless everyone is talking about?”

Nr. 0 wasn’t scared in the least, “And if I am?”

“I know little ninth’s talent. For him to end little ninth in three slashes, his power must have surpassed an Earth Immortal’s. I want to know what do you base your confidence on that the four Paragon will kill him.”

“Wu Fu came out.”

The Star Lord recalled something dreadful, “So it’s that martial freak’s reincarnation. No wonder you think it’s enough.”

“You got your answer.”

“You’re lucky. You’re the first who became Relentless only to fall six years later. You’re the most impressive Relentless in history. ”

“Does this mean you have what it takes to kill me?”

“Besides friends, there are few who I can’t kill.”

Big Dipper’s Star Lord went with the motions of the Seven Big Dipper Killing Fists. The fist’s power blew up the surroundings, smashing the path to immortality to pieces.

Nr. 0 did the same with his own fist art, his left was a soaring dragon, and his right a flying tiger.

With dragon and tiger in the mix, his power reached the horizon.

The Star Lord’s eyes glinted with savagery, “You’re Heavenly Emperor True Martial’s reincarnation? I can’t let you live!”

The seas of power clashed. Space cracked, the laws were thrown in chaos!

Yet the next moment, all that power, all that destruction, gone. The release of power could only scare, but it was clear neither was intimidated. So they both locked their power within their body.

Nr. 0 smiled, “So that old fool tending the Heavenly Dao is called Heavenly Emperor True Martial.(1)”

The too stood among star fragments and charged. Their battle didn’t affect anyone, touched nothing else, because all their power was trapped in their tiny bodies.

Who’d win between an ant holding the power of an elephant and an elephant?

The ant of course, because its power was focused and struck with precision while the elephant had it scattered inside.

And these two were that kind of ants.

The two fought like wuxia heroes of the mortal world and not like the Immortal Kings they were. Not a scrap of power escaped them, no explosion, no fallout.

They had complete control over themselves, using it fully against their opponent. The cultivators had a saying in this regard, a state of being.

(1) The name means the lord of profound heaven, a Daoist deity. A.k.a Black Tortoise or Black Heavenly Emperor.
