The world trembled beneath his throne.
Murong Chen sat upon the Throne of Forgotten Kings, his body enveloped in a black-gold aura of primordial dominance. The obsidian seat pulsed beneath him, ancient runes glowing with power long thought lost to time. The Abyssal Sect knelt before him, their forms trembling, not out of fear, but in the presence of something greater than they had ever known.
He could feel it.
The land. The people. The very fabric of reality itself.
Everything was his to command.
The wind howled through the ruins, carrying whispers of a civilization long forgotten. But today, those whispers had become a declaration. A new era had begun.
The Abyssal Sect's Evolution
The moment Murong Chen took his seat upon the throne, a wave of power erupted from its core. A dark tide, surging like a storm, spread outward, sweeping through every member of the Abyssal Sect.
Their bodies shuddered as the throne's energy remade them.
The System roared to life.
[System Notice: Abyssal Sect Evolution in Progress.]
• All members have undergone forced evolution, surpassing their previous limits.
• Elders have awakened unique bloodline abilities.
• Sect cultivators have gained the 'Abyssal Resonance' trait—allowing shared strength.
• The Sect's foundation has exceeded mortal realms.
Bai Qingshan gritted his teeth, his muscles convulsing as his Qi twisted into something far beyond human comprehension. His meridians expanded, his dantian reforged itself, his aura thickening to the point where even the heavens would hesitate to suppress him.
Cracks formed beneath the feet of every warrior as they struggled to contain their newfound strength. Some collapsed to their knees, their cultivation realms forcefully pushed beyond their natural limits.
This was no mere breakthrough.
This was ascension by force.
Murong Chen watched in silence.
His warriors had been tempered through blood and war, but now, they were becoming something more.
Something eternal.
The Abyssal King's Awakening
Beyond the ruins, the heavens trembled.
Lightning split the sky, illuminating the shattered city in a blaze of violet and black fire. The throne's power reached beyond mortal comprehension, extending its influence across the world.
But Murong Chen knew—this was only the beginning.
He had been a warrior, a conqueror, a force of destruction.
But today, he was something else entirely.
Today, he became a King.
King's Edict: Reshaping Fate
[New System Function Unlocked: King's Edict]
A decree that could reshape fate itself. A command that even the heavens could not ignore.
Murong Chen rose from the throne.
The mere act sent ripples through space, distorting the air around him. His very presence was a force that bent reality.
His voice was calm, absolute.
"From this day forward, the Abyssal Sect shall no longer be bound by the laws of mortals."
The ground shook.
A storm erupted, twisting the sky into a vortex of abyssal light. The heavens recoiled. The earth bent.
Murong Chen raised a hand, and reality obeyed.
The ruined city reassembled itself at his will. Broken pillars stood upright once more. Shattered temples reconstructed themselves, their walls reforged by an unseen power.
A new empire was rising.
Not through war.
Through decree.
The Heavens Take Notice
The moment the transformation settled, a ripple spread beyond the mortal world.
Something watched.
Beyond the skies, past the boundaries of the known realms, an unseen force stirred. A presence that had remained silent for eons had now turned its gaze upon Murong Chen.
A low, rumbling voice echoed through the abyss.
"You have gone too far."
A Looming Challenge
Murong Chen's eyes flickered. Finally.
Someone had taken notice.
Beyond the city's edge, the shadows shifted. A figure, cloaked in cosmic darkness, stood at the abyss. Their presence was unnatural—a void in existence itself.
Murong Chen smirked.
Let them come.
A Throne Above All
The Abyssal Sect stood stronger than ever.
Murong Chen had rewritten the rules of fate. He had shattered the limits imposed upon him.
He was no longer just a cultivator.
No longer just a warlord.
He was the Abyssal King.
And the world would soon learn what that meant.
