Chapter 257: Chapter257-The Divine Domain Is Complete; Returning to the God Realm

"This sword Dao is called the Blade of Ruin."

Hyman waved his hand, sending a streak of flowing light into Camille’s forehead. His voice was clear and sharp, like the cry of a sword.

"When you can merge the three thousand sword strikes within the Blade of Ruin into a single sword strike, this sword Dao can be considered to have achieved minor success. At that time, once you step into divine-grade, you will be able to directly reach the peak of divine-grade."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Excellency!"

Camille bowed deeply, his voice trembling with irrepressible excitement.

This was not merely a sword art. It was a bridge built for him at the edge of a cliff.

In his own expectations, he might have remained stuck here for the rest of his life. Yet now, after this sudden turn of fortune, what lay before him was a broad road leading straight ahead!

"Hahaha."

Hyman stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

"Just assist Faustus well. Faustus of the human race, I hope to hear news of you soon."

"Farewell, Your Excellency."

Faustus saluted.

"Farewell, Your Excellency."

Camille bowed.

Whoosh—!

Hyman’s figure shattered like flowing sand and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.

Faustus and Camille exchanged a glance and remained silent for a long time.

That uninvited T6 Oracle-grade expert of the Chaos Humans had arrived without warning and left without the slightest reluctance.

But the things he had left behind had pushed both of their destinies forward by a tremendous margin!

Especially Camille.

From now on, he would no longer have to cross the river alone by feeling for stones.

As for the benefits Faustus had received, they were even more astonishing.

With the Chaos Black Soil in his hand, the final shortcoming of his Divine Domain could finally be filled.

The soul essence of the sage Angel King would serve as the core of Divinity. The World Origin Essence would nurture the spirit of the Divine Domain. Then, with the Chaos Black Soil as the foundation, he would solidify the roots of the Divine Domain.

Combined with that supreme Divine Domain, the Chaos Samsara Rank...

"I’ll absorb the Chaos Black Soil now."

Faustus unfolded his Divine Domain and tossed the unremarkable clump of soil into it.

The Chaos Black Soil was like melting amber, seeping bit by bit into the pair of distinct black-and-white eyes in the void.

The left eye represented life.

The right eye represented death.

Within the Divine Domain, the aura of chaos rose layer by layer, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently, like a sky that might collapse at any moment.

"My Divine Domain... is finally complete."

Faustus withdrew his Divine Domain, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He had already pushed Holy Condensation to its limit long ago.

Now that his Divine Domain had reached grand perfection, it already possessed terrifying might no weaker than that of sage rank!

Together with his Endless Divine Power...

Even divine-grade experts could be fought.

Perhaps even... slain!

"Congratulations, Master, for finally refining your Divine Domain to perfection."

Camille sensed that aura, one that made him shudder from the depths of his bones, and he was deeply shaken.

Master had only stepped into supreme-grade a few days ago, yet he had already tempered his Divine Domain to such a level...

Master truly possessed peerless talent!

"Camille, you aren’t bad either."

Faustus smiled. "Now that you have that path of sword Dao advancement, with your foundation, breaking through to sage rank won’t be difficult. Once you cross that threshold, you will immediately reach the peak of divine-grade."

"I simply chose the right path!"

Camille smiled faintly. "I’ve realized that this sword Dao fits my own path as if they were cast from the same mold. Finally... I no longer need to worry about how to advance to sage."

...

Aetheria.

Faustus’s puppet avatar suddenly opened its eyes.

A streak of flowing light pierced through the air and arrived.

He reached out and seized that ray of light in his palm.

Faustus’s main body was stationed on Earth, while this puppet had been left here specifically to guard against the God Realm causing trouble.

He opened his hand. In his palm was a slip of paper.

"The Godkin intend to destroy Aetheria. Also, Kelly remains deep within the Bloodtide Sea of the God Realm."

Boom—!

A suffocating aura erupted from the puppet’s body.

"The Godkin... actually intend to destroy Aetheria!"

Killing intent surged in Faustus’s eyes.

Aetheria, like Earth, possessed a World Origin.

That was the most fragile and most vital thing in the entire world.

Once the Origin was destroyed, Aetheria would be completely finished.

That place held the greatest number of players, and the resurrection system would cease to exist as well.

Tens of billions of lives would die, and death would be final.

"They must be stopped."

At the same time, his gaze locked firmly onto the second half of the note.

Kelly...

She might still be alive!

And she was deep within the Bloodtide Sea of the God Realm.

Faustus clenched the slip of paper tightly, his knuckles tightening.

...

In the void.

A spatial passage suddenly opened wide.

Five Godkin experts walked out from within and stepped onto the land of Aetheria.

Their mission had only one objective: destroy Aetheria’s World Origin.

"Simon, where is the Origin Essence hidden?"

The leading expert turned his head, his tone filled with unquestionable urgency.

"The higher-ups said that Aetheria’s Origin is hidden extremely deeply. If we search for it bit by bit, who knows how long it’ll take? You have the treasure that can draw out the Origin Essence. Use it now."

Aetheria had existed for countless tens of thousands of years. Its Origin Essence had long since developed a will of its own and would never obediently wait to be captured.

As the race with the highest level of authority over this land, the Godkin naturally had a way to lure it out.

And that item was in Simon’s hands.

"Use it now?"

The corners of Simon’s lips rose slightly. Hidden within that smile was a meaning no one could see through.

"Nonsense. Are we supposed to turn this whole place upside down ourselves?"

"Don’t forget, we only have thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, the spatial passage will open one final time. If the mission isn’t complete by then, you can figure out how to get back to the God Realm on your own."

"Stop wasting time. Hurry up and draw out the Origin Essence."

"Exactly. Let’s finish the job quickly and leave."

The experts urged him one after another.

Simon sighed.

"Fine."

Before his words had even fully faded, his figure suddenly blurred, then solidified again.

In the blink of an eye, he had returned to his original position.

And the four Godkin experts collapsed to the ground one after another, as if the bones had been pulled out of their bodies. Their eyelids grew heavy, as though filled with lead.

Simon looked at them calmly and shook his head.

"This place is no longer safe."

He took out a treasure and activated it instantly.

Whoosh—!

The next moment, he disappeared without a trace, taking the four unconscious companions with him.

...

Faustus’s mind power spread outward like a tide, covering the entire land of Aetheria completely.

He did not know who had sent the note, and the note had not explained the whole story clearly either. He could only rely on himself to watch over everything.

As long as anything went wrong, he would discover it immediately.

"A spatial passage?"

As his mind power swept over a certain corner, that twisted spatial fissure immediately appeared in Faustus’s mind.

He took a deep breath.

In the next instant, he was already standing at the entrance of the passage.

He remembered the last time he had gone to the God Realm.

Back then, he had only been legendary-grade. He had not even possessed a Divine Domain.

Inside the sage rank of a divine-grade expert, he could only rely on self-destruction again and again to escape, forcing himself to trade the lives of the Godkin in the God Realm for his survival.

But now, things were different.

His main body was already a quasi-sage. He had condensed a supreme Divine Domain and possessed two secret arts specifically designed to counter sage rank.

This time, if he went to the God Realm again...

The ending would not be the same as last time.

"It would be impolite not to return the favor."

Faustus barely hesitated.

This time, he had to hurt the God Realm.

He had to hurt them so badly that they would never again dare to harbor crooked thoughts.

And there was also Kelly!

She might be in the Bloodtide Sea of the God Realm.

Although he did not know where the Bloodtide Sea was, once he arrived in the God Realm, he would find it eventually.

He leaped into the spatial passage.

"God Realm, I’m coming."
