Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 561 -561-A Perfect Counter — The Era of the Crossbridge Empire
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
With the essence of life serving as their core, the Life Sorcerers erected an enormous Life Domain.
Any Ancient Scion remnant entering it had the glow surrounding their form yanked away and torn apart by a hidden whirlpool!
"The Ancient Scions are truly... getting countered?!"
"How could this happen? The Crossbridge Empire never should have encountered the Ancient Scions—yet somehow they've acquired a way to oppose them?"
From afar, Lindsey, the Saintess of Truth, and their fleeing companions stared in utter disbelief.
The Ancient Scions essentially formed the third wave of creators within this Star Sea cosmos.
Over countless eras, they had refined and delved into life forms, cleverly dodging all dangers aimed at living entities.
Just one remnant reaching Sage Lord level could render a typical quasi-Empyrean Sanctum powerless.
They stood as the pinnacle of intelligent life.
Eradicating them entirely proved nearly unattainable.
In the past, the Divine Court clashed with the Ancient Scions once enmity arose.
Victory eluded the Divine Court—instead, it suffered devastating losses.
Without intervention from the Empyrean Sanctums on either side, worried about universal ruin, that conflict would have raged on forever.
Now, however, these indestructible remnants decayed right before their eyes!
This fresh imperial force had shattered all prior understandings.
The Ancient Scions remained fearsome, cutting down Crossbridge Empire troops by the masses.
Yet the Crossbridge Empire commanded tens of billions of Sage Lord legions!
Each one held the might to annihilate a Sage Master.
Sacrificing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions barely scratched their core strength.
Over a billion legions encircled the Chaos Continent, layered like endless barriers of realms.
Ultimately, the Ancient Scions' numbers stayed finite.
Finally, a radiant Sage Lord-ranked entity could no longer withstand the searing curses and Origin Soulflame.
It started plummeting.
Its body of pure light crumbled into a dark, sticky sludge.
Emitting a furious bellow, it lunged at the Crossbridge Empire's forces.
But the radiance cloaking it was peeled off—that essence was its very life force.
Midway, it melted away, slumping into a pile of decay.
Soon, another radiant form broke down. Then one more, and yet another...
Soul, curse, time, and space—these summoned units all relied on outside forces.
The real bane for the Ancient Epoch remnants lay with the Life Sorcerer!
These Ancient Epoch survivors had wagered everything on life, advancing via life's profound research.
Life Sorcerers inherently wielded life's affinity. Their talents shone uniquely.
Wielding life as their arsenal, bolstered by fellow imperial troops, they could utterly eradicate these remnants.
Aurek witnessed this too.
The golden-eyed remnant chief and the others encircling Aurek saw it as well.
Fury blazed within their cores.
They ceased restraint and unleashed a total onslaught against Aurek!
Beside them, the eternal Apollo Sunblaze relentlessly chased with Origin-Conversion Forbidden Arts and Creation Forbidden Arts.
Lucio, Heimerdinger, and Winston tapped into the Empire's national fortune, defending with quasi-Empyrean Sanctum might!
Aurek ignored their strikes entirely.
Only assaults that could pierce the Dimensional Horizon merited his regard.
Having grasped the remnants' true essence from the distant clash, he sheathed the golden blade.
Then, he wrenched his hands wide!
From the vast world he had forged, a colossal formation array abruptly ascended and plunged under every Ancient Scion!
The golden-eyed chief shaped his form into a barrier, hastily building a tiny cosmos to sever the array!
Other quasi-Empyrean Sanctum remnants vaulted high, channeling chaos origins into massive turbulent gales that veiled the space below!
Those gales severed their link to the formation array.
Aurek summoned the Law of Time!
A River of Ages erupted upward from the formation!
Thundering and immense like a deluge engulfing realms, it surged past the chaotic gales and engulfed all remnants overhead!
In its currents, myriad visions of mortal existences floated and plunged in perpetual cycles!
"River of Ages!"
The Starwatcher God-King, freshly reformed in body, quaked with dread!
"He truly masters the Law of Time... and even calls forth the River of Ages... h-how can this be?!"
"He's merely quasi-Empyrean Sanctum! Something woven into the universe's deepest flow like that... only an Empyrean Sanctum ought to command it!"
"River of Ages!"
Shock gripped even the golden-eyed chief completely.
"Retreat! Get out of here immediately!"
He bellowed abruptly.
The remaining remnants grasped the peril and bolted in panic!
The eternal Apollo Sunblaze shifted into a Sunblessed Goldenflame Phoenix, breathing fire's origin into the River of Ages.
Flames of Time erupted in a ferocious inferno!
They trapped the escaping remnants!
BOOM—!
The Law of Space twisted onward, crafting stratum after stratum of worlds, confining all essence—be it solid or ethereal!
Even the blazing Flames of Time and fire's origin got locked inside!
Aurek's grasp on the Laws of Time and Space reached quasi-Empyrean Sanctum, not Sage Lord.
Not even Ancient Scions could slip away.
"This age belongs to me. The age of the Crossbridge Empire."
Aurek's tone rang cold and domineering.
"You fossils from a forgotten time—your burial awaits."
Murderous resolve flared in his gaze as he relentlessly called upon Soul Law to erode each remnant's soul!
Thousandfold Sword Judgment Domain!
Myriad Judgment Domain!
Zephyr-Heaven Art!
Ultimate Law Scripture!
Starseal...
Every technique, every skill, every lethal move—deployed without mercy!
Ancient Scion after Ancient Scion vanished in torment!
"Aaaah—!"
"Impossible...!"
The wails of the Ancient Epoch echoed through the Star Sea.
It felt like an entire epoch was being declared extinct.
BOOM!
The glow around the golden-eyed chief started to disperse too.
He fused with the Threads of Fate and darted through them frantically. With immense struggle, he escaped the River of Ages and dashed into the Chaos Continent!
A massive hand spanning the heavens burst from the Chaos Continent, slamming down fiercely on the enclosed zone, briefly halting the River of Ages!
Some remnants grabbed the opening to escape, surging wildly into the Chaos Continent!
ROAR—!
The pair of aberrant fiends unleashed earth-shattering roars as well!
They hurled blasts of primal energy storms at the encircling imperial legions!
Innumerable Star Sea universes quivered fiercely from that onslaught!
And right at that moment—
The Sunblessed Goldenflame Phoenix rocketed skyward!
Fire's origin blazed endlessly on its form, morphing into a sun of supreme splendor!
Its brilliance lit up scores of Star Sea sectors.
Even realms in the Styx Sector and further felt that piercing glow!
In the blink of an eye, that sun plummeted onto the leaf-like continent.
RUMBLE—!!!
A cataclysmic blast roared forth!
The Chaos Continent shattered straight from its core!
In the Eastern Starfield's depths, a monumental pit of ruin exploded open!
The Celestial Light God Realm started fracturing.
The divide between the Endless Continent and the Abyss Demon Realm began splintering.
Universal rifts extended clear to the Styx Sector...
Myriad worlds ripped asunder, laid bare to chaos's harsh void!
Small chunks and particles from the Chaos Continent scattered widely, as the two aberrant fiends tore apart instantly.
Distant, the elder Primordial Dragon and the boy got flung through the void.
Winston, Heimerdinger, Lucio, the Starwatcher God-King, the Saintess of Truth... all catapulted far into the Star Sea.
Solely Aurek stood firm amid the stars.
The Dimensional Horizon stretched out, its luminous barrier absorbing the nonstop barrage of Chaos Continent shards and broken cosmic remnants.
BOOM—!
A devastating chaos tempest crashed into the Celestial Light God Realm, rattling the Gold Giant Gate until it hummed and shook.
This divine solar plunge from the eternal Apollo Sunblaze marked his mightiest strike short of his Fire God true form.
Scarcely could a Star Sea universe endure that horrifying mass and blaze.
It rent a whole starfield asunder, compelling its rebirth as a fresh world.
