Chapter 37: The Supreme Celestial Lord Makes His Move
"You think chaos weakens the heavens? No… it only reminds me why I rule."

The Heavens in Chaos
The battlefield trembled as betrayal spread through the Celestial Army.
Heavenly Generals turned their weapons against their own Divine Lords.
Immortal Saints, who once fought side by side, now clashed with each other.
The Forgotten Legion, seeing the Celestial Court collapse from within, pushed forward—carving a path through their broken ranks.
At the center of it all, Xiao Tian stood unchallenged.
His golden eyes burned as he watched the heavens tear themselves apart.
"So this is all it takes to break the so-called divine order?" He smirked. "Pathetic."
But then—
BOOOOOOOOOM!
A pulse of unimaginable power erupted from the highest point of the Celestial Court.
Time itself froze.
The battlefield fell silent.
And a single voice—calm, absolute, undeniable—echoed through the realms.
"Enough."

The Supreme Celestial Lord Descends
The sky split apart, revealing a vast golden throne floating above the battlefield.
Sitting upon it was a being beyond comprehension.
The Supreme Celestial Lord.
His robes were woven from the essence of time.
His crown shimmered with endless galaxies.
His presence alone crushed reality, forcing all beings—divine or mortal—to kneel.
Even the traitorous gods who had turned against him froze in place, unable to breathe.
He slowly rose from his throne, his eyes void of emotion.
"I have tolerated your arrogance long enough, Xiao Tian."
With a single step—
BOOOOOOM!
Reality collapsed beneath him.
The very concept of distance and time ceased to exist as he appeared before Xiao Tian in an instant.
The heavens did not shake.
They bowed.
"Kneel," he commanded.
And the universe obeyed.

Xiao Tian vs. The Supreme Celestial Lord
A force unlike anything before weighed down on Xiao Tian.
Even with his awakened power, even with the Forgotten Legion at his side—
This pressure was absolute.
The Supreme Celestial Lord did not wield a weapon.
He did not gather energy.
He simply existed.
And that alone was enough to crush worlds.
Yet—
Xiao Tian did not kneel.
Instead, he laughed.
The sound echoed through the silent battlefield, defiant, unbreakable.
He slowly raised his head, his golden aura surging against the impossible weight.
"I don't bow to the heavens."
His voice was calm. "The heavens bow to me."
And with a single step forward—
The war for the throne of the universe truly began.
