Chapter 37: The Next Battlefield

The battlefield lay in ruins, cosmic dust drifting through the void where the High Council once stood. Xuian exhaled, his golden-abyssal aura stabilizing as his system notifications flickered in his mind.

[High Council Eliminated]

[Dimensional Authority Absorbed: 12%]

[New Title Acquired: Monarch of the Void]

Xuian glanced at his subordinates—Liriel, Arvok, Karthos, and Lysara—who were still struggling to comprehend what had just happened.

Karthos finally broke the silence. "So… what now?"

Xuian's gaze lifted toward the vast dimensional rift opening above them, crackling with power.

"Now, we move forward."

A new notification appeared.

[Dimensional Warpath Unlocked]

New Target Identified: The Dominion of Eternal Light

A New War Begins

Liriel furrowed her brow. "The Dominion of Eternal Light… I've heard of them. They control entire galaxies, worshipped as divine rulers."

Arvok scoffed, resting his massive sword on his shoulder. "Sounds like another group of arrogant gods to me."

Lysara smirked. "Which means we're about to make history again."

Xuian nodded. "This is only the beginning. The High Council was powerful, but they were limited by their own arrogance. These new enemies… they might actually put up a fight."

His system interface shifted, displaying a map of the multiverse.

The Dominion of Eternal Light spanned multiple divine-tier dimensions, each ruled by beings who had never known defeat.

But that was about to change.

[Dimensional Gate Opening: 30%]

Xuian turned back to his forces.

"Prepare for war."

The First Strike

As the Dimensional Gate reached full activation, the air vibrated with energy. The gate itself was massive—large enough to swallow an entire galaxy—and beyond it lay a vast empire of radiant golden cities floating in an ocean of pure divine energy.

Xuian stepped forward, his presence causing the very fabric of the dimension to tremble.

A wave of divine guardians—beings of pure celestial light—rushed toward him, their halos burning like miniature suns.

Xuian raised his hand.

BOOM!

A single pulse of his aura erased them instantly, their forms reduced to nothing before they could even react.

"Pathetic," he muttered.

Suddenly, a new presence emerged—a towering figure clad in radiant golden armor, wielding a massive divine halberd. His aura was unlike the others—a true dimensional warlord.

"You dare invade the Dominion of Eternal Light?" the figure's voice boomed.

Xuian smirked. "I don't 'dare'—I simply do."

He vanished.

Before the warlord could react—

SLASH!

Xuian's blade cleaved through space itself, and the warlord barely managed to block, his halberd trembling under the impact.

A shockwave tore through the city, causing entire floating palaces to collapse into the divine ocean below.

The battle had begun.
