Chapter 336 -336-Decisive Withdrawal, One Man Holds the Pass
The Astral Realm was a newborn world.
Its world will had yet to manifest, and its Laws were still taking shape.
Laws intertwined throughout this newly born heaven and earth, weaving all manner of rare treasures into existence.
There were native sages born from chaos, primordial treasures that had yet to fully form but were already radiating dazzling light, primordial Law power drifting like ribbons, and sacred medicines and sacred fruits swaying from their branches.
Everything in this world was filled with opportunity!
Within the cyan plane at the outer region of the Astral Realm, countless primordial Holy Relics were being nurtured.
Hundreds of demi-sages from the major universes had gathered here. Every single one of them had come to plunder the Astral Realm’s Holy Relics and seize newborn Laws in order to construct their own sage rank.
Right now, that Sacred Grove was like a piece of fat meat. Every wolf present wished they could pounce on it and tear off a vicious bite.
Many powerhouses summoned their comrades over, hoping to claim a share of this feast.
James, Mosi, and Dustin arrived one after another as well.
"More than half of them are here!"
James looked at the densely gathered demi-sages before him, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.
"Aeris of the Sanctum Sigil human race from the Sanctum Sigil Universe is here too."
Dustin’s gaze landed on a young man whose entire body exuded an ancient and simple aura.
"I once sparred with him. We were evenly matched!"
Daniel glanced indifferently at Aeris.
The human race had many branches in the Endless Starsea, and the Sanctum Sigil human race was one of the ancient bloodlines with deep foundations.
Aeris was currently the strongest demi-sage of the Sanctum Sigil human race. The fact that he could fight Dustin to a draw was enough to prove that his talent and strength could not be underestimated.
"Harris, Cold Star, Igor, and Udi are here too."
James smiled and immediately spotted the powerhouses of the same Rank from the Myriad-Star Cosmos.
At the same time, not far away, Harris and the others’ expressions changed in unison, as though they had seen a ghost.
"That Faustus has joined forces with Dustin... This is going to be troublesome!"
Cold Star shrank his neck back somewhat warily, his eyes turning quickly.
"And there’s James and Mosi too. With those guys here, we definitely have no chance."
"Damn it. What a waste of time."
Udi spat with an unlucky expression.
"Forget it. Let’s try our luck elsewhere."
Harris sighed, his tone filled with unwillingness.
"Let’s go, quickly."
Igor’s scalp went numb the moment he saw Dustin, let alone the Faustus who had once killed dozens of demi-sages with a single palm strike.
He was afraid that if he continued to participate, he would be left in this unfamiliar land forever.
These demi-sages of the Myriad-Star Cosmos chose to withdraw without the slightest hesitation.
Their actions left some surrounding powerhouses puzzled, and whispers began to rise.
"What’s wrong with them? They came all this way and ran off with their tails between their legs before even plucking a single blade of grass. I bet they’re just as spineless in their own universe."
"I’ve drifted through the starsea for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen cowards like this. Look at them. They look like mice that just saw a cat."
"Who knows what remote corner they crawled out from? They’ve completely disgraced the face of powerhouses!"
Dustin let out a soft sound of surprise, his gaze following Harris and the others as they left. His brows furrowed slightly.
He did not understand why those powerhouses from the Myriad-Star Cosmos had fled in panic without even fighting for a chance.
"At least they have brains."
James sneered.
"Saves us the trouble of cleaning out the trash."
"Mm."
Mosi calmly echoed him.
Daniel also could not help but smile, a playful curve rising at the corner of his mouth.
He thought of the outer-universe demi-sages he had just killed with one palm strike. Harris and the others had indeed left at just the right time.
The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
If those people had stayed behind to fight for the treasures, he would not have shown mercy.
In this starsea, everyone was a naked competitor!
Mercy had never been a virtue of the strong!
...
The Holy Relics within the Sacred Grove were about to mature.
The mist-like energy churned more and more violently, as though the pulse deep within the earth were beating.
The hundreds of demi-sages present stared greedily at that garden while cautiously guarding against the other powerhouses around them.
In this lawless, savage land, every person beside you could become the enemy who swung a blade at you in the next moment.
"This is a little troublesome. Dustin of the Chaosverse is not simple."
Aeris of the Sanctum Sigil Universe looked toward Dustin with fear in his eyes, his brows locked tightly.
"I can’t act recklessly later. I’ll fish in troubled waters first. If the struggle becomes too intense, I’ll stand back and watch for the time being."
"Only by staying alive does one have the right to speak of gains."
The many demi-sages present were also making their own calculations. Some secretly formed alliances, some exchanged glances, and some silently prepared killing moves.
This situation was destined to descend into chaos!
At a certain moment...
Within the Sacred Grove, the mist-like energy was suddenly drawn in as though by a huge invisible mouth, completely absorbed by those Holy Relics.
Seven-colored radiance blazed like a scorching sun falling into the mortal world.
All the Holy Relics had reached the moment of maturity!
The many demi-sages present were instantly invigorated, fanatic flames igniting in their eyes.
"Charge in!"
"All of you, get out of my way!"
"I’ve taken a liking to that sacred fruit. All of you, back off..."
"Let’s surround this orchard. Whoever dares come near dies!"
"..."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
James, Mosi, Dustin, and Camille almost simultaneously unleashed their respective Divine Domains.
However, they ignored the demi-sage rank beings whose eyes had turned red with slaughter and instead directly transformed into streaks of light, flying toward the Sacred Grove.
The Holy Relics themselves possessed no weak strength and required them to personally subdue.
As for the hundreds of powerhouses howling as they charged toward the garden, all of them were left to Daniel.
...
Daniel stood in the void, coldly watching the frenzied demi-sages in his field of vision. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The hunt had begun!
With a flip of his hand, he took out the Voidbound Grail.
The light of spacetime Law released an ancient pressure, like whispers from the depths of space and time.
"Devour—!"
Buzz—!
In the blink of an eye, the Voidbound Grail expanded until it was as massive as a mountain, blotting out the sky and sun.
Its mouth faced downward like an opened giant eye, coldly overlooking the tiny ants below.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—!
Invisible Law ripples spread from the mouth of the grail, instantly pulling every inch of the void into the Holy Grail’s domain.
The Divine Domains of those hundreds of demi-sages were mercilessly corroded, torn apart, and dissolved by the Law ripples.
Their Divine Domains began to shrink. Their divine power drained away rapidly like sand flowing through an hourglass, and their strength was constantly weakened.
Peak demi-sage, demi-sage, supreme-grade, legendary-grade...
It fell all the way down, as though plunging into a bottomless abyss.
The hundreds of demi-sages discovered in terror that their Strength was about to fall below even the threshold of legendary-grade.
Only a handful of them carried special Divine-grade treasures and could barely resist the Laws of the Voidbound Grail.
Cold sweat covered the foreheads of the hundreds of demi-sages.
"In the name of the gods... what kind of treasure is this?"
"A Primordial Law Grade treasure! Damn it! What kind of monster have we run into?"
"How are we supposed to fight this? We’re almost turning into ants!"
"Run! Run now!"
"Escape!"
"Only an idiot wouldn’t run!"
