BOOOOOOOOOOM!?
The heavens shattered beneath the collision.
Azure light and golden radiance exploded across the Upper Sky Region like two ancient worlds crashing against one another.
The battlefield disappeared beneath overwhelming force.
Countless cultivators were blown backward violently.
Mountains collapsed.
The silver heavens cracked repeatedly.
Even the fracture connecting to the Void Realm destabilized under the pressure.
At the center of it all
Lin Feng stood unmoving.
The giant Azure Sword Phantom towered behind him while endless dragon roars echoed faintly within the surrounding space.
His black robes fluttered violently.
Azure markings spread across his arms like flowing laws.
And behind him
nine colossal dragon heads slowly manifested within the phantom world surrounding the sword.
Crimson.
Silver.
Void-black.
Blue.
Gold.
White.
Emerald.
Violet.
And the swirling storm-colored head at the center.
The pressure descending from them caused the battlefield to tremble instantly.
Commander Yue's expression froze.
Xu Tian's pupils contracted slightly.
Even the Bone Saints instinctively retreated.
Because the aura emanating from Lin Feng no longer resembled an ordinary cultivator.
It resembled an ancient sovereign awakening.
The Heavenly Eye trembled violently.
"You dare reveal those laws again."
Its voice thundered across heaven and earth.
Golden lightning erupted throughout the silver heavens.
Yet Lin Feng's expression remained calm.
Cold.
Sharp.
His grip around the Azure Sword tightened slightly.
He could feel every dragon authority resonating within his body.
Not rampaging.
Not uncontrollable.
Perfectly aligned.
Ever since the awakening within the Azure Sword World…
the nine heads had become part of his foundation itself.
The Blue Dragon of Sword Intent roared faintly.
Instantly
the Azure Sword Phantom sharpened further.
Space around the blade began splitting apart naturally.
The Heavenly Hand descended again.
Faster than before.
Golden laws condensed into gigantic chains around its fingers while heavenly flames burned across its palm.
This time
it carried true killing intent.
Lin Feng stepped forward.
Azure Sword Steps.
BOOOOOOM!?
His figure vanished instantly.
The giant heavenly palm smashed into empty air.
The battlefield exploded apart beneath the impact.
At the same moment
Lin Feng appeared directly before the descending hand.
His eyes glowed azure-gold.
Azure Sword Art
"Dragon Sovereign Ascension."
SHIIIIIIIIING!!
A colossal blue dragon formed from sword qi erupted upward around him.
The dragon roared toward heaven itself.
Then collided directly against the Heavenly Hand.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Golden and azure laws exploded across the sky.
One of the giant fingers shattered instantly.
The Heavenly Eye trembled violently.
Lin Feng did not retreat.
Instead
he attacked again.
The Crimson Dragon of Dominance roared.
An overwhelming pressure erupted outward from Lin Feng's body.
Even nearby Saint Realm experts felt their spiritual energy momentarily suppressed.
The Bone Saints below collapsed one after another beneath the sovereign pressure.
Lin Feng raised the Azure Sword again.
Azure Sword Art
"Heaven Breaking Tyrant Flow."
A massive crescent of azure sword qi tore upward through the heavens.
The Heavenly Hand retaliated instantly.
Golden beams descended like divine punishment.
SHING. SHING. SHING.
The sky erupted continuously.
Lin Feng's sword intent cut through the golden beams one after another without slowing.
The surrounding cultivators stared in shock.
"He's fighting Heaven directly…"
"That's impossible…"
Commander Yue tightened her grip around her spear unconsciously.
Even Xu Tian remained silent.
Because Lin Feng was not borrowing external power anymore.
Every attack now clearly originated from his own path.
His own understanding.
His own sovereign will.
The Heavenly Voice thundered again.
"You carry rebellion."
Lin Feng finally spoke.
His voice remained calm despite the collapsing heavens surrounding him.
"So what?"
Silence followed.
Even the Bone Saints froze briefly.
The Heavenly Eye darkened.
"Everything beneath heaven must kneel."
The Gold Dragon of Sovereignty suddenly opened its eyes fully.
BOOOOOOOM!!
Golden sovereign aura erupted around Lin Feng.
But unlike the Heavenly Eye's oppressive divinity
Lin Feng's aura felt absolute yet free.
Not domination through fear.
But supremacy born from will.
The entire battlefield shook violently.
Then
for the first time
Lin Feng pointed his sword directly toward the Heavenly Eye.
Exactly as the Azure Sovereign once had.
The surrounding cultivators felt chills run down their spines instantly.
Because the scene felt ancient.
As though history itself was repeating.
The Heavenly Eye trembled slightly.
Xu Tian noticed immediately.
And his expression changed.
"It remembers…"
The giant Voidborn suddenly screamed furiously.
"Kill him before the Tenth awakens!"
The moment those words escaped
silence consumed the battlefield.
Xu Tian's gaze snapped toward Lin Feng instantly.
Commander Yue's pupils contracted.
Even the Heavenly Eye became still.
Lin Feng himself frowned slightly.
Tenth?
The swirling storm-colored dragon head behind him suddenly shifted faintly.
Then
far behind the nine dragons
a shadow moved.
A massive silhouette hidden within endless darkness.
Only one eye opened briefly.
Ancient.
Silent.
The other nine dragon heads lowered themselves instinctively.
The battlefield froze completely.
Even the Heavenly Eye stopped attacking.
Because for one brief moment
something greater than sovereign authority had stirred.
Lin Feng's expression remained calm despite the pressure.
But inwardly
his instincts screamed.
Not fear.
Warning.
The shadowy Tenth Head slowly closed its eye once more.
The pressure vanished instantly.
The nine dragons rose again.
Yet the atmosphere throughout heaven and earth had already changed.
The Heavenly Voice became colder than before.
"So it truly exists."
Golden laws erupted wildly throughout the sky.
This time
not only the Heavenly Hand descended.
Gigantic golden gates slowly materialized above the silver heavens themselves.
Ancient scripture flowed endlessly across their surfaces.
Xu Tian's expression finally darkened completely.
"Heaven's Gate…"
Commander Yue's face turned pale.
"They're actually trying to descend fully?!"
The giant gates slowly began opening.
And from within
countless golden figures became faintly visible.
Humanoid.
Winged.
Holding weapons formed from pure law itself.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then
the Silver Dragon of Wisdom stirred.
Instantly
his perception sharpened dramatically.
He could see it now.
The golden figures were not truly alive.
They resembled puppets.
Constructs created entirely from heavenly laws.
Executioners.
Xu Tian stepped beside Lin Feng calmly.
His sword intent spread across the battlefield once more.
"You've caused quite a disturbance for someone who just arrived in the Upper Sky Region."
Lin Feng smirked faintly.
"You don't seem surprised."
Xu Tian looked toward the opening Heavenly Gates.
Then answered quietly,
"Anyone carrying the Azure Path was destined to fight heaven eventually."
BOOOOOOOM!!
The gates opened wider.
Golden executioners began descending slowly from the heavens.
At the same time
the Void fracture expanded further below.
Dark armies continued emerging endlessly.
The battlefield split into two terrifying forces.
Above
Heaven.
Below
The Void.
And standing between both worlds
Lin Feng slowly raised the Azure Sword again.
