Dreamworld Constellation

Dreamworld Constellation . . .

Qin Wentian's eyes bore into them as he instantly gauged the Star River Lord and the Darkshadow Sovereign's cultivation levels.

The Star River Lord had reached the second level of Celestial Phenomenon. In the context of Grand Xia, this level of strength was already considered at the pinnacle. The Darkshadow Sovereign, on the other hand, was even more formidable. He stood at the peak of the third level, bolstered by his unique constellations. Thus, within Grand Xia, the Darkshadow Sovereign reigned as the most potent ascendant. Whenever an uncontrollable power surfaced, the various transcendent factions would enlist his services for an assassination.

For the Darkshadow Sovereign, as long as there were individuals who could afford his exorbitant fee, he would carry out the execution. In Grand Xia, he was the paramount assassin, the lord of shadows.

In truth, based on the Darkshadow Sovereign's strength, he qualified to join the powers of the Royal Sacred Region, albeit at a lower-ranking position. Age had already caught up with him, and he had exhausted his potential for improvement. Becoming a middle-tier ascendant within the Royal Sacred Region would offer him little benefit. Those in the upper echelons wouldn't accord him much importance, and the gains would be marginal. So, he chose to remain in Grand Xia, ruling as the lord of shadows. The status and benefits he enjoyed here far surpassed what he could obtain elsewhere.

The Star River Lord was different; he was dispatched to oversee the Star River Association in Grand Xia. A few hundred years old, he was considered young compared to other ascendants in Grand Xia. Notably, he was a grandmaster of divine inscriptions, harboring a promising future. His mission involved resource collection and amassing experience before stepping onto a grander stage.

But regardless of their roles, should the branches of the Star River Association in Grand Xia fall, they would be held responsible and face severe punishment upon their return.

The Star River Association's history in this land eclipsed even that of the Grand Xia Empire itself. Today marked the first instance of someone daring to stand within their headquarters and utter such audacious claims. This person was none other than Qin Wentian, the current Emperor of Grand Xia, radiating a resplendent light and commanding admiration and reverence from countless individuals—a chosen one of the heavens.

However, no matter how radiant he appeared, should he persist in dismantling the Star River Association, he had only one fate ahead—death.

"The Darkshadow Sovereign shall stay behind. The rest, leave," Qin Wentian declared with a torrent of sword intent surging forth, coalescing into a swirling vortex of sword qi that swept through the vast headquarters of the Star River Association. He then stomped again, unleashing an overwhelming sword might that reduced the grand hall to dust.

"You exude the aura of Celestial Phenomenon. Have you achieved a breakthrough?" The Darkshadow Sovereign's expression soured as he detected a hint of jealousy bubbling within him. With over ten thousand years of existence, he remained trapped at the peak of the third level of Celestial Phenomenon, unable to advance. Yet here was Qin Wentian, remarkably young and already a Celestial Phenomenon expert. How far could his limits extend? The Darkshadow Sovereign didn't dare to imagine.

"You possessed boundless potential. Why court your own demise? The Star River Association isn't an entity you can afford to provoke," the Star River Lord chimed in, issuing a cold warning to Qin Wentian. As a representative dispatched by the Star River Association headquarters in the Royal Sacred Region to Grand Xia, he knew well the formidable might of their association. Although the Royal Sacred Sect was deemed the regional hegemon, the Star River Association remained beyond their reach. Throughout the history of the Royal Sacred Sect, not a single Sacred Emperor had dared to confront the Star River Association.

Qin Wentian was the first to dare such audacity. Despite merely being the overlord of Grand Xia, he refused to permit the existence of the Star River Association within its borders.

"You talk too much nonsense. If you don't leave, you'll die," Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light. His entire being resembled a supreme sword, exuding an unparalleled sharpness. Even though many Star River Association experts surrounded him, none dared to act recklessly.

Such a spectacle elicited admiration from onlookers in the distance. This was what they meant by "Unmatched Magnificence," wasn't it?

In the lofty expanse, Qin Wentian assumed a posture of supreme authority, casting an imposing shadow upon the entire Star River Association. No wonder he had compelled the transcendent powers of Grand Xia to submit; the radiant halo enveloping him was truly awe-inspiring.

"Though I failed to best you in our previous duel, I'm curious to see if you still dare to employ that life-threatening sword strike against me," the Darkshadow Sovereign sneered as he advanced. Both of his constellations materialized, stretching across the sky in a sprawling display. Tentacle-like vines writhed menacingly, descending to strike Qin Wentian with force.

A deafening "BOOM" echoed, introducing yet another formidable constellation—the River Star Lord's constellation. In the heavens, a constellation of boiling lava emerged, bearing a fearsome, crimson-hot divine weapon radiating boundless might.

Qin Wentian could sense that the Star River Lord possessed unparalleled strength, rendering him unmatched among the inhabitants of Grand Xia. The constellations of these ascendants operated on a different plane altogether.

"Now that you've broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, let me see what your constellation holds," the Darkshadow Sovereign proclaimed, his voice echoing from within his second constellation—a shroud of darkness.

Qin Wentian inclined his head, scrutinizing the constellations of his two adversaries. Positioned in the middle, the Star River Lord's constellation exuded an aura reminiscent of a divine weapon, with its edges adorned in pure golden light. Qin Wentian recognized this golden radiance as his astral soul's influence. Constellations were formed by the evolution of astral souls, and the radiance emitted could provide insight into the astral soul's layer of origin.

The vibrant gold hues indicated that both constellations had evolved from the 6th Heavenly Layer. These astral souls were condensed after stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, marking the formation of their fifth astral soul at the 6th Heavenly Layer.

Despite the seemingly advantageous positioning, Qin Wentian faced no disadvantage. After all, his Dreamworld Constellation was cultivated from his Great Dream astral soul, originating from the 5th Heavenly Layer.

"As you wish." A faint image manifested behind Qin Wentian, accompanied by a tempestuous gale that enveloped him entirely. An intense aura of dreamforce permeated the surroundings.

"As expected, your first constellation predates your breakthrough to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. However, it's merely the product of the 5th layer, regardless of your talent. How can you hope to contend with us?" the Darkshadow Sovereign taunted, his voice oozing malevolence. The vines came hurtling, and not to be outdone, the Star River Lord unleashed numerous concealed divine weapons from within the molten lava. Together, they assailed Qin Wentian, casting a formidable shadow over the heavens.

"Such power is more than enough to handle the likes of you both." The constellation behind Qin Wentian dazzled brilliantly. The gale grew even more fierce, yet he remained calm, awaiting the onslaught of vines and divine weapons. Remarkably, miniature black holes of annihilation appeared around him, shredding the incoming threats. Even though the projectiles couldn't draw near his body, the Star River Lord and the Darkshadow Sovereign refused to relent.

"What incredible might," the Darkshadow Sovereign and the Star River Lord admitted, their hearts quivering. The constellation that Qin Wentian had summoned harbored tremendous offensive capabilities, emphasizing overwhelming assaults over defense.

"Curious about my constellation? Allow me to enlighten you," Qin Wentian declared. His eyes ignited with divine radiance, and the faint image behind him solidified into a spectacular constellation, exuding brilliant starlight. It was as if a celestial eye had opened in the heavens, obliterating everything in its vicinity. To their astonishment, the Darkshadow Sovereign and the Star River Lord discovered that both their constellations and their own beings were engulfed by an enigmatic and mysterious force.

"My Dreamworld Constellation permeates every corner of existence," Qin Wentian declared with deliberate weight in his voice. The words reverberated through the minds of his two adversaries, leaving them stunned. Was this truly Qin Wentian's initial constellation, the Dreamworld Constellation? They found themselves transported into a bizarre dimension, an inexplicable world that defied all comprehension.

"Now, allow me to demonstrate the full might of a constellation's assault," Qin Wentian announced, his voice trailing off. The turbulent winds stirred by the Dreamworld Constellation transformed into a maelstrom of destruction, whirling relentlessly in a formidable vortex.

"Splinter, snap..."

The ancient vines disintegrated ceaselessly, and the divine weapons erupting from the lava met the same fate—shattered to pieces. In this surreal space, Qin Wentian was akin to a deity, an omnipotent force that governed all.

"We must escape," the Star River Lord of Grand Xia declared as he swiftly retreated. He raised his palms to counterattack but found himself perplexed; the Dreamworld seemed to have no discernible boundaries.

How could dreams be confined by boundaries?

The constellation before them was all-encompassing, its scope boundless and limitless.

"Desire to flee? But once you engage in battle, your sole option becomes death," Qin Wentian stated firmly. In an instant, he extended his palms, gathering an immense destructive energy into a colossal Grand Nihility palm imprint that darkened the heavens. It hurtled directly toward his opponent.

"NO!" The Grand Xia Star River Lord's face paled. He was the guardian of the Grand Xia Star River Association and had merely cultivated for a few centuries. His untapped talent promised a promising future. How could he meet his end in this place?

"BOOM!"

The Grand Nihility palm imprint obliterated him, reducing the Star River Lord to dust. His constellation vanished in the aftermath.

The sound of heavy, frantic breaths pierced the air— the panicked breathing of the Darkshadow Sovereign. Though concealed within his own constellation, the palpable pressure of the surroundings sent shivers down his spine.

How could this be? Was this even possible? It was Qin Wentian's debut constellation; how could it wield such terrifying power? Even with experts guiding him, the first constellation should not have achieved such overwhelming strength. Or perhaps, had he fused four distinct forms of intent with his astral soul to manifest this constellation? It was the only conceivable explanation for his instant, same-realm annihilation of his opponents!

As the Darkshadow Sovereign pondered these questions, an overwhelming sense of despair consumed him. How could there exist such a heaven-defying individual, not yet thirty years old, who had achieved such astonishing feats? The Dreamworld Constellation knew no bounds; how could he escape its clutches?
