Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies

Chapter 348 Youre Not Dead?!

That grey longsword was the manifestation of her internal heaven, of her personally constructed, carefully crafted and formed essence of time!

As for the domain she erected, it incorporated her complete control of time, eliminating the presence of the heavens influence on this area, embodying only her own internal heaven! With that, Yan Zaizen shouldn’t be able to connect or utilize the energy of the heavens to reinforce his strength. Despite this, Yan Zaizen was still capable of freeing himself from her control!

Her tired, exhausted eyes beneath that hood couldn’t help but display minute traces of wariness. This became even more so when she saw the shroud of endless death emit from his body.

Yan Zaizen, on the other hand, was absolutely fearful! He pushed out The Siphoning Shadow of Death constantly, drawing upon the power of his heavenly shrine to its maximum, and erupting with the pinnacle of his heavenly might!

As a Sovereign, Yan Zaizen could feel fear. After all, he was a human being who can experience all emotions, but the qualities of a sovereign were to be able to overcome all emotions such as this, remain calm, and act with the utmost grace of one!

Yan Zaizen didn’t act differently than that. In fact, he was embodying that to the absolute limit!

If something threatened you, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate!!

He would siphon this dastardly domain that sealed off his time flow and everything within!!!

Now, the grey-robed woman grunted in fear, she waved her hand, and her grey longsword appeared within her grasp. Like rain into the ground, it turned into bits and entered her arm. As for her domain, she tried to recall it, but her expression became even more shocked. If Yan Zaizen could see her eyes, they would be needlepoints!!

"He’s absorbing my internal heaven?! What type of nonsensical law is this?! Death?!?!" As she looked at this, she was in utter disbelief. In her lifetime, she had never seen such a ravenous law of death emerge or appear, one that could directly absorb the internal heaven of a celestial! Death often embodied the end of life, not the absorption of anything.

However, her shock didn’t end here.

As the deathly aura spread, it clung like an infectious virus. It was like a baby wolf that hadn’t eaten in a billion years, needing any form of substance possible! She could even feel...greed?!

"What?! It has a consciousness?!?!" The grey-robed woman felt a bout of fear and coldness engulf her entirety, especially her heart.

This Law of Death held the consciousness of the Regalia of the Heavens, but oftentimes, many people are unaware of their unique aspects of sentient thought and decision-making. Even Yan Zaizen, who incorporated three of these things into his body, wasn’t entirely sure of the truth regarding the Regalia of the Heavens.

The deathly aura seemed to sense the grey-robed woman’s fear. It shifted slightly, as if it was ’looking’ at her.

This feeling caused an icy-cold chill to flow down her spine, as if she was being eyed by the most gluttonous beast in existence.

Yan Zaizen wasn’t bothered by the fact that the Regalia of Heaven’s consciousness was seeping out of his body and into his laws of death. In truth, he had already gotten far too used to this whenever he activated the Herculean Art. It was as if he was fighting with a partner. This was especially distinct in regards to the white flame.

It was like a guardian that kept close to his heart, never leaving, and always looking out for his well-being. As long as it survived, so would he!

In fact, he was urging the deathly aura to come out further. He wanted to absorb this monstrosity that nearly took his life!

More! More Power!!!

Yan Zaizen could feel an urging from the deathly aura and its remnant consciousness, asking for more power. Feeling completely willing, his eyes erupted with an amber-gold brilliance unlike any other! His Dao of Sovereign Ascension!

The Dao Path could be used the enhance laws, comprehension abilities, weapons, and all sorts of boundless and limitless things. With this peak upper-tier Dao amplifying the deathly aura, it exploded like a tank of gasoline meeting a fiery spark.

ROAR!!!

Like a tidal wave of endless, inky blackness, the deathly aura began to flow across this one hundred mile domain, or internal heaven of the grey-robed woman!

When she saw the explosive speed that it had achieved, she panicked! Her hands waved, a spherical object the size of a marble appeared in her hand, and she directly crushed it. The world stopped for a split second, even the deathly aura ceased, but not Yan Zaizen! Already familiar with this type of destabilization, he remained active and aware.

Despite this, it didn’t stop the woman’s actions. She withdrew her internal heaven in that brief instant, returning it into her body. However, she realized that a portion of her internal heaven had already disappeared, no longer being apart of it. With this, her cultivation base would require some time to return to normal. This placed her mood at an all-time low.

Yan Zaizen felt the surrounding space normalize as the frozen time domain retreated, his eyes focused on the grey-robed woman with intense killing intent. His amber-gold eyes flickered endlessly as the dao energy within his body surged.

The grey-robed woman turned to see Yan Zaizen staring daggers at her, murderous intent and aura surging, and couldn’t help but exclaim. This exclaim was one of shock, even with a bit of elation within, but not one of expected fear!

"You’re not dead?!" Her words were filled with exhaustion but a tinge of happiness. If she had known he wasn’t truly dead, then she wouldn’t have tried to kill him! Thank god she didn’t make a mistake she couldn’t undo.

When she said those words, despite the confusing tone, Yan Zaizen completely ignored it.

"I’m not, but you will be." Shrouded with a deathly aura, the moment the freezing domain produced by the marble ended, he sped towards her like lightning! His intentions were clear:

KILL!!!
