The Lord of Ashes

Han Li, the Celestial Venerable Han, carried immense mystery from the moment he appeared on the periphery of the Immortal Domain.

Even now, beings like Cygnus and the Lord of Numinous Treasure are unaware of which top-tier civilization he hails from.

Cygnus even suspected that his innate supreme treasure, the Measure Heaven Bottle, was a Civilization Supreme Treasure.

Furthermore, Han Li seemed to have no limit.

Initially, he was thought to be in the mid-stage of the Eighth Level, yet he could hold his own against experts in the late stage.

Then, he was believed to be a late-stage Eighth Level expert, but now, even when facing the Starburst Nightmare Python, which was advancing to the peak of the Eighth Level, he remained unfazed!

The enormous Sky Imprisoning Finger pressed directly down towards the Starburst Nightmare Python.

No matter how dazzling the light radiating from the Civilization Supreme Treasure, the Celestial Radiance Diamond, on the Starburst Nightmare Python's forehead, Celestial Venerable Han's attack showed no signs of slowing down.

"Rumble!" Terrifying fluctuations of power continuously roiled in a corner of this dimensional battlefield.

After a round of clashes, Han Li pounced forward once more.

This time, Han Li employed the Sword Dao of the Immortal Domain!

Whether it was during the Immortal Domain War or later when he arrived at the Shifting Light Retrospective World battlefield, Han Li enjoyed sparring and exchanging pointers with the Lord of Numinous Treasure and Patriarch Styx in his spare time.

It was said that he had also established good relations with the Mount Shu Sword Sect of the Human Sect.

Facing the threat of the Starburst Nightmare Python's billions of rampaging pythons.

The Measure Heaven Bottle radiated a phantom image of power behind Han Li, but even more eye-catching were the countless sharp, silvery-white light swords that appeared around him one after another.

Dense and numerous! Endless!

A sea of swords! It had already manifested!

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" With Han Li flicking two fingers forward.

Billions of light swords shot forth simultaneously towards the Starburst Nightmare Python and the billions of rampaging pythons under its command!

Indeed, there was no most talented, only more talented!

Han Li proved his ability with his actual combat record.

…

In the subsequent war, the Wizard Civilization's Lena, Lulianman, Trilis and other True Spirit Wizards also descended upon the Shifting Light Retrospective World battlefield one after another.

These Wizard Civilization powerhouses who arrived all had deep relationships with Cygnus.

In other words, this dimensional hegemony battle was actually an ultimate battle guided and participated in by Cygnus personally, and did not stake the fate of the entire Wizard Civilization.

Among these Sovereigns, Cygnus's two disciples also descended upon the Shifting Light Retrospective World one after another.

Cygnus's eldest disciple, Catherine, finally advanced to become a True Spirit Wizard not long ago.

As a Fire and Mechanical True Spirit Wizard, Cygnus actually taught a Light True Spirit disciple… Perhaps this was a tradition of their Blazing Flame lineage.

Wasn't Lulianman also a Plant True Spirit Wizard who taught Cygnus?

However, as Cygnus's disciple, Catherine still had certain commonalities with Cygnus in some areas.

Although she was a Light True Spirit, to be precise, the path Catherine took was the "Profound Meaning of Light Flame".

Furthermore, during the time Cygnus was not in the Wizard Civilization, Trilis and Lulianman had been teaching the disciples and grand-disciples on his behalf.

Catherine had also achieved many accomplishments in the field of alchemy.

There was no other way, her direct mentor couldn't take care of teaching her, so she could only trouble the elders with higher seniority.

Within the Blazing Flame lineage, Cygnus's senior apprentice-sister, Penas, had also faintly shown signs of advancing to True Spirit in recent years.

It wasn't just because one person attained enlightenment and their pets ascended to heaven; more than 70% of Penas's ability to advance to True Spirit relied on herself.

She, who had gotten together with the Asura Princess Guisha Nu from the Blood Sea of the Immortal Domain, could be described as "a lily blooming in full bloom" in recent years.

Moreover, it wasn't a "twin lily", but a "triple lily"!

Penas and Bereka had both recently shown signs of crossing from the peak of the Sixth Level to the Seventh Level Sovereign realm.

Adding in Guisha Nu, who had already advanced to the Seventh Level Saint, wasn't that a "triple lily"?

Penas could rely on Cygnus and the Blazing Flame lineage, while Guisha Nu was the granddaughter of Patriarch Styx of the Blood Sea and enjoyed the endless resources of the Blood Sea Asura clan.

Bereka, who was a knight, didn't have deep roots in the Wizard Civilization.

But it didn't matter, she leaned on Penas on the left and Guisha Nu on the right, and had gradually reached a very high realm in recent years.

Trilis mentioned bringing the three women to the dimensional battlefield to train.

Cygnus said, "Then Grandmaster, you must take good care of them and let them only be active in the middle and lower-level war zones on the edge of the battlefield."

"The intensity of the dimensional war has reached the point where even peak Eighth Level Sovereigns are frequently falling; this is not an ordinary training ground."

Cygnus reminded.

Trilis nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

…

In fact, Trilis and the others came to the dimensional battlefield this time mainly to help Cygnus with experiments, not to fight.

It was Lena who brought another Civilization Supreme Treasure of the Wizard Civilization—the Death Scythe—to the Shifting Light Retrospective World this time.

She was mainly worried about her son, Nasish.

Upon hearing that Nasish had recently left the dimensional battlefield and went to explore other areas of the Shifting Light Retrospective World, Lena couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"In fact, Madam Bev wanted Roger to come to the dimensional battlefield to take a look."

"But Roger was unwilling to come here, he said that participating in the war of the Alliance to Pacify Demons in the Material Star Realm could also promote his progress in the field of the Profound Meaning of Death."

Lena mentioned this senior apprentice-nephew who was higher than her in age, strength, and realm.

Lena was the third direct disciple of the God of Death, while Roger was the disciple of Lilith, the eldest disciple of the God of Death, the difference lay in their seniority.

Cygnus said, "Roger is lazy by nature, a bit like Grandmaster Douglas, both prefer to stay in the laboratory."

"Since he doesn't want to come, then forget it."

"Here in the Shifting Light Retrospective World battlefield, Grandmaster Naigel is enough."

Cygnus said.

"How long will it take for you to complete the analysis of the Profound Meaning of the Sky-Based Star Destroyer?"

Lena couldn't help but ask.

"After completing the analysis and research on the perpetual motion machine, you should be one step closer to breaking through to the peak Eighth Level, right?"

"Now, you are only one opportunity away from truly breaking through the peak Eighth Level."

Lena said.

Cygnus replied, "It should be soon."

…

Cygnus said it would be soon, but in reality, several thousand years had passed in the war in the Shifting Light Retrospective World, and Cygnus still hadn't completed the analysis of the Sky-Based Star Destroyer.

On the dimensional hegemony front lines, there had been incidents of high-level powerhouses from both sides falling.

Among them, even the foreign aid powerhouses of the Demon Tide Civilization were unlucky.

This time, the unlucky one was Buddhism.
