Chapter 38: The Secret That Even the Heavens Fear

"The Supreme Celestial Lord acts like an unshakable god… but even gods have nightmares."

The Battle That Shakes the Universe

BOOOOOOM!

Xiao Tian's golden fist collided with the Supreme Celestial Lord's outstretched palm.

The impact tore the fabric of reality apart.

Space shattered.

Time fractured.

Entire realms collapsed under the force.

The heavens themselves screamed in pain.

And yet—

The Supreme Celestial Lord stood motionless.

His expression unreadable. His power unwavering.

For the first time, Xiao Tian met an opponent who did not falter.

"You amuse me," the Supreme Celestial Lord said, his voice calm, endless, absolute.

Then, with a flick of his wrist—

BOOOOOM!

Xiao Tian was sent flying, his golden aura trembling as he crashed through countless dimensions.

The world shuddered.

The Forgotten Legion stepped forward, ready to assist—

But suddenly, the Supreme Celestial Lord raised his hand.

And everything stopped.

Time. Space. Energy. Thought.

All froze.

Everyone… except Xiao Tian.

The Supreme Celestial Lord gazed down at him.

"There is a reason I rule the heavens."

Xiao Tian wiped the blood from his lip, smirking. "Oh? And yet you fear me."

The Supreme Celestial Lord's expression darkened for the first time.

"No." His voice was quieter. "Not you."

He lifted his hand, and reality itself shifted.

A vision appeared—

A glimpse of something hidden even from the gods.

And Xiao Tian saw it.

The Hidden Truth of the Universe

The vision showed a place beyond the heavens.

Beyond existence itself.

A vast abyss, where something ancient and forgotten slumbered.

A being that even the Supreme Celestial Lord dared not name.

A force older than the Celestial Court itself.

And then—

Xiao Tian saw himself.

Standing before that abyss.

As if he had been there before.

"This is why you cannot exist," the Supreme Celestial Lord said.

"You are the key."

"The one who will awaken it."

"The true threat to all creation."

Xiao Tian's smirk faded.

For the first time—

Even he did not know what was coming next.

But his golden eyes burned brighter.

And he whispered, "Then let's find out."
