Chapter 369: Chapter369-The Storm That Devoured the Entire Astral Realm
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
Countless powerhouses were startled by this apocalyptic scene and rushed into the sky from their respective planes.
Harris and the others hovered in the void with blank expressions, their pupils reflecting that overwhelming gray.
"This is... the phenomenon of a sage rank opening!"
"A powerhouse has advanced!"
"It’s Faustus—!"
Harris’s lips trembled slightly.
What kind of joke was this?
The Chaosverse had been firmly sealed by invisible shackles. No one could advance. Even T9 Oracle-grade beings were helpless!
How could Faustus possibly break through a barrier that even great Oracle-grade beings could not shake?!
"Faustus... he actually advanced?!"
Silas and the others were full of shock, their voices carrying a near-collapsing tremor.
"Was I... wrong?"
Udi’s face was filled with bitterness and unwillingness, as though someone had snatched away the fruit of fate’s gift from his hand.
...
In another plane.
Vincent raised his head and stared as the plane he was in was slowly devoured by gray light.
The plane was dissolving, swallowed by that all-encompassing gray radiance.
He waved his hand and put away his scattered painting tools, then shot into the sky.
"The phenomenon of a sage rank opening!"
"According to ancient records, when a supreme sage rank is born, it must devour a massive amount of energy—just like a star greedily absorbing everything in the nebula at the moment of its birth."
"A supreme sage rank!"
Vincent’s heart shook violently, his pupils reflecting that sky-covering gray light.
"It’s Faustus advancing! He has finally stepped through the gate of Divine-grade!"
Vincent looked toward Faustus’s direction from afar, only to discover that the entire outer region of the Astral Realm had been shrouded by massive gray clouds, blotting out the sky and sun like the descent of doomsday.
"A supreme sage rank... truly unimaginable!"
Vincent drew in a cold breath.
"Gray is the original color of chaos. The Law contained within his sage rank should be one of the strongest kinds."
Vera appeared beside Vincent. Her petite face was filled with shock, and she had even forgotten to bite into the spirit fruit in her hands.
"The Laws of the Endless Starsea are as numerous as stars. Although all paths ultimately lead to the same destination, there are still differences in strength and level."
Vera’s eyes lit up.
"Gray is the Origin color of the Reincarnation Law, and reincarnation is among the strongest tier of Laws in the Endless Starsea!"
Vincent nodded. Then, as though suddenly remembering something, his expression changed drastically.
"Something’s wrong. The entire Astral Realm is about to be swallowed by Faustus!"
"The Astral Realm... is finished."
Vera looked at the collapsing world before her and was stunned as well.
In the vision of countless powerhouses, gray clouds blotted out the sky and sun. Not only had they spread across the outer regions of the Astral Realm, they were also surging toward the depths of the core plane.
...
At this moment, Daniel’s heart was as still as water.
His supreme sage rank continuously devoured the outer regions of the Astral Realm. While strengthening its own foundation, it also tempered his body.
At a certain moment,
the gray radiance spread to the very center of the Astral Realm.
The core plane dissolved silently like ice and snow meeting blazing flames.
"The supreme sage rank... is going to devour the entire Astral Realm completely?!"
James and Mosi’s eyes were filled with shock.
This was far too insane!
What kind of sage rank needed to devour such a massive amount of energy?
This was clearly an appetite only an Oracle-grade sage rank should possess!
Whoosh—!
The entire core plane was absorbed completely by Daniel’s sage rank.
Surges of energy came rushing in, instantly filling the long-dried void within Daniel’s body, while causing his sage rank to suddenly expand by dozens of times!
At this moment, Daniel’s sage rank was already as vast as a small world!
Absurd.
Utterly absurd to the extreme!
After the supreme sage rank devoured the entire Astral Realm, it suddenly spat out specks of light from within, like a well-fed giant letting out a satisfied burp.
Then, the radiance instantly withdrew inward, and heaven and earth returned to calm.
Daniel gazed over.
The nearly tangible domain of the supreme sage rank was like an independent small world.
The entire world had transformed into an enormous lotus sea, filled with countless blooming Gray Lotuses.
At the very center was a fully bloomed Gray Lotus, its petals layered upon one another as light flowed across them.
Buzz—!
The aura on Faustus’s body surged like a torrent breaking free from its shackles, rising uncontrollably.
Divine-grade low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade...
It climbed all the way upward, advancing like a hot knife through butter!
... fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Something’s wrong... The Astral Realm is about to be destroyed!"
The Divine-grade powerhouses stared at this scene in horror.
They had crossed the starsea from their respective homeland universes for the sake of plundering resources in this newborn world.
But because the Chaosverse had been sealed shut by invisible shackles, the Astral Realm had been unable to nurture top-tier Holy Relics, and they had gained nothing from this trip.
Who could have expected that now, the entire Astral Realm would be devoured by Faustus’s supreme sage rank?
Their beautiful dream was completely ruined.
To be fair, Faustus could not truly be blamed for this.
Even if the seal on the Chaosverse was undone in the future, the Astral Realm’s hundred-year limit would already have reached its end, and this place would naturally transform into a new galaxy.
In other words, their opportunity had been destined to become an empty dream from the very beginning.
But that did not stop the jealousy and envy surging within their hearts.
The Astral Realm was the essence of an entire galaxy!
Faustus’s supreme sage rank had devoured the entire Astral Realm. This was no different from taking the essence of an entire galaxy for himself.
How absurd was that?
"A supreme sage rank... can actually be plundered."
A poisonous thought quietly emerged in the heart of a Divine-grade powerhouse.
"If his sage rank can be seized, whether used to strengthen my own sage rank or forge a Divine-grade secret treasure, it would be a top-tier harvest."
"If such a supreme sage rank were forged into a secret treasure, it would definitely reach the level of a Primordial Supreme Treasure!"
Another Divine-grade powerhouse’s eyes flickered with ill intent.
"If we can take this sage rank for ourselves, then this trip would not be considered wasted."
Some Divine-grade powerhouses no longer concealed the greed in their eyes.
"Who says there are no opportunities here? Faustus himself is our opportunity!"
A sage rank could be robbed.
Like armor stripped from the weak by the strong.
Like spoils of war hung in the hall of the victor.
However, at this moment, the supreme sage rank had not yet completely stabilized.
The many sages could only temporarily suppress the greed in their hearts, like a pack of hungry wolves lurking in the darkness, waiting for the moment their prey revealed a flaw.
At this time, Faustus’s aura was still continuing to rise.
Peak Divine-grade...
Divine Radiant Grade...
Divine Sovereign Grade!
His aura charged all the way to the threshold of Divine Sovereign Grade before finally slowing down.
Yet even more energy remained accumulated, becoming the foundation of his strength, quietly awaiting the day it would erupt in the future.
At the same time, an icy prompt sounded beside Faustus’s ears.
[Ding! You have stepped into Divine-grade and successfully completed the special mission!]
[Prompt: You have obtained the Thunder elemental core and the Metal elemental core! You have obtained the Divine-grade achievement reward—Exclusive Secret Realm!]
As Daniel listened to the prompt beside his ears, his heart clenched hard.
The final two elemental cores—
he had finally obtained them!
Not only that, he had also obtained an Exclusive Secret Realm!
Without the slightest hesitation, Daniel directly took out that long-sealed secret codex—
the Chronoverse Prologue Codex!
