182: Adding to the fun

Chen Jun suddenly lifted his head, gazing into the depths of the endless sea of stars, looking towards the direction of the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom, murmuring softly:

"Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom..."

"You will soon know what true Hell is!!!"

"And all of this was brought about by the highest level you worship..."

Just as Huang Yu and the ten Venerables were wailing beyond their limits within the infinite Reincarnation of their own sins on the Kunlun Star plaza—

Chen Jun's insane and cold will had already become like an invisible Universe storm, instantly crossing the endless distance, locking onto the Star Domain that was still engaged in extreme revelry—the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom!

...

Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom, the "Shining World Celestial Vault" hall.

The atmosphere of the celebration had boiled to its Peak!

Trillions upon trillions of Divine Kingdom members remained immersed in the infinite ecstasy and anticipation of the Dominator's Breakthrough to the Star River Level and the civilization's impending promotion.

Rivers of fine wine flowed ceaselessly, star spirit fruits were piled like mountains, "Goddesses" danced, and the Laws played music... This was a feast of extreme luxury belonging to a Peak 2.9 Level civilization!

They were all waiting, waiting for Venerable Hui Guang and the other nine adults to capture that newly discovered Innate Radiant Body woman, to add another touch of peerless beauty to the Dominator's feast, and to add another legend to the glory of the Divine Kingdom.

No one doubted the outcome.

With ten high-level Galaxy Level Venerables making a move to capture a mere low-level Galaxy Level, even if the opponent was an Innate Radiant Body, it would definitely be effortless and without suspense!

"Calculating the time, Venerable Hui Guang and the others should be back soon, right?"

"They must be on their way back! I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of grace the Innate Radiant Body, who could be favored by the Dominator and taken as a concubine, possesses!"

"Hahaha! To be able to witness the Dominator taking an Innate Radiant Body as a concubine, this is a blessing we have cultivated over ten lifetimes!"

"The great cause of the Divine Kingdom will surely shine through the ages!"

...

They had no idea that the ten Venerables had already knelt and confessed their crimes, and even the Dominator they worshipped as a god had already arrived in person, kneeling on the ground like a puddle of mud, "repenting"!

Noise, fanaticism, confidence, arrogance... filled this extreme space expanded by Divine Power.

However, just at the moment when the wave of revelry was about to break through the Peak—

"Buzz—!!!"

An indescribable, incomprehensible, and irresistible grand will, like a Creator God opening its eyes...

Like the Laws of the entire Universe itself descending, suddenly enveloped the entire Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The flowing rivers of fine wine halted in mid-air.

The dancing goddesses froze in their most graceful poses.

The playing Star River music stopped abruptly.

All noise, all laughter, all discussion... all disappeared!

It was not that sound was stripped away, but that the will to make sound was completely—suppressed—by this sudden, vast will that made Souls freeze!

Every living being, from the lowest Stellar Level attendant to the high-ranking mid-level Galaxy Level powerhouse sitting on the throne, all froze in place!

Their bodies could not move, their thoughts were almost stagnant, and only their Souls were instinctively and violently trembling!

What happened?!

This will... what is it?!!

It is even more vast than the resonance of the Laws triggered when the Dominator broke through! More profound! More... despair-inducing!!!

...

Immediately after, under the gaze of countless eyes filled with extreme terror, the luxurious dome of the celebration hall, like fragile glass, silently... annihilated!

In its place was an absolute pitch blackness!

It was not nothingness, it was not darkness; it was an ultimate darkness that devoured all light, all energy, and all Laws!

In the center of this ultimate darkness, two even more profound, even more terrifying "black holes" slowly emerged, like two cosmic eyes coldly overlooking all living beings!

It was the manifestation of Chen Jun's will!

Immediately after, a hoarse voice, calm without any emotional fluctuation, yet seemingly containing the weight of ten billion death Reincarnations and the wailing of trillions of aggrieved Souls, resounded in the deepest part of every Divine Kingdom member's Soul:

"Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom..."

Just these four words, like four invisible giant hammers, smashed fiercely onto everyone's Soul, making their consciousness almost collapse!

"What are you celebrating?"

The voice was still calm, but the terrifying anger hidden beneath that calmness, enough to freeze the sea of stars, made everyone's blood almost freeze!

"Celebrating your supreme Dominator... Huang Yu..."

The voice paused slightly, as if savoring the extreme hatred brought by this name, and then, in a tone that stated facts, said words that made the entire Divine Kingdom's belief collapse completely:

"Celebrating him... having just... knelt before this Venerable like a dead dog... repenting and begging for mercy?"

"Boom—!!!!!"

This sentence was like billions of stars exploding in the minds of all Divine Kingdom members simultaneously!!!

Impossible!!!

Absolutely impossible!!!!

The Dominator is Star River Level!

The invincible Star River Level!

How could he kneel and beg for mercy?!

Hallucination! This must be a hallucination! It's the enemy's mental attack!

...

However, that absolute will that enveloped everything and suppressed everything, that ultimate darkness that annihilated the dome, were all coldly telling them—this is reality!

"No... impossible! The Dominator is invincible! Do not try to bewitch people!!!" A mid-level Galaxy Level general mustered his remaining courage and let out a roar from his Soul.

"Bewitch?"

The hoarse voice seemed to chuckle, but the laughter was colder than billions of years of black ice.

The next moment, from the two "black holes" in the center of that ultimate darkness, a clear image was projected—

In the image, it was exactly the Kunlun Star plaza!

Their Dominator Huang Yu, whom they revered as a god and who had just broken through to the Star River Level, was lying on the ground like a puddle of twisted mud, along with Venerable Hui Guang and the other ten, uncontrollably repenting their own sins with the most shrill voices!

Their faces were twisted and deformed by extreme pain and humiliation, and their Soul fluctuations emitted desperate wails!

And in front of them, a figure that looked ordinary but radiated an aura that made the starry sky tremble, was coldly watching all of this with those black-hole-like eyes!

It was Chen Jun!

The evidence was irrefutable!

"Pfft—!"

"Dominator!!!"

"No—!!!"

...

Countless screams of collapsing faith and sounds of vomiting blood rose and fell in the frozen celebration hall!

The invincible leader recorded in their elementary school textbooks, the supreme god in their hearts, the great existence they were celebrating for... was actually... really... kneeling at the enemy's feet like a dead dog?!

This caused their outlook on life and cognition to collapse directly!!!

Just at this moment, Chen Jun's will spoke again, with a hint of... angered coldness in his tone:

"This Venerable... sealed my cultivation, put my memories to sleep, and at the edge of this Universe, found a quiet place to experience Mortal life and comprehend the myriad states of the Mortal World..."

His voice seemed to carry an ancient echo, recounting an "eternal" "secret":

"I originally intended to establish a Family on this ordinary star, marry a few wives and concubines, enjoy Family happiness, watch my descendants surround my knees, and silently observe the birth and death of this star river, the rise and fall of civilization... to spend these long and plain sealed years."

"My Bloodline, contaminated by the Law aura of my slumber, is therefore different from ordinary people, carrying various wonders. This is a small blessing I gave to my descendants, and also a part of experiencing Mortal fun."

The words were like an invisible carving knife, sculpting a "reasonable" truth, passing into the minds of every Federation citizen and every Divine Kingdom member!

The Federation masses suddenly realized!

So that's it!

No wonder Ancestor Chen seemed "ordinary" but his Bloodline was so magical!

It turned out he was an ancient existence who had self-sealed and was experiencing life!

It was to comprehend the Dao of the Mortal World!

Chen Jun's will suddenly became extremely sharp, and the repressed anger was like a singularity about to erupt:

"This Venerable immersed myself here, not wanting to deal with external disturbances, and even deliberately suppressed myself, not letting my power awaken..."

"But you!!!"

"You so-called Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom! You ignorant Dominator Huang Yu! And those ten Galaxy Level ants!!!"

"Actually dared to destroy my home, slaughter my people, and kidnap my wife and daughter while I was at my deepest Seal and most 'Mortal'! You even wanted to make my daughter a concubine?! And even tortured and killed my billions of young Bloodline descendants!!!"

Every word was like a cosmic explosion, impacting everyone's Soul!

"It was your leader!!! It was your leader's atrocities!!! It was your leader's heinous evil thoughts!!! That triggered the defensive Restriction sleeping in the deepest part of my Soul!!!"

"It was your leader!!! Who awakened this Venerable early!!!"

"It was your leader!!! Who forced this Venerable to end this experience early, and forced me... to break the Seal!!!"

Chen Jun's will let out a roar that shook the Star River, and the anger contained in that roar made the space of the entire Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom crack and wail!

"Do you know what price must be paid for interrupting this Venerable's slumber and forcing this Venerable to recover power early?! You ruined an important comprehension that this Venerable has been pursuing for ten billion years!!!"

"The root of all this! The culprit of all this!!!"

"It is Huang Yu!! It is those ten high-level Galaxy Level ants!!!"

"If it weren't for them being blinded by greed, arrogant, coveting my daughter's Aptitude, and committing such inhuman acts, angering this Venerable... this Venerable would still be that 'Mortal' in a corner of the stars, enjoying a plain life and watching my descendants play!!!"

"It is their greed! It is their cruelty! That brought this... extermination disaster to your Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom!!!!!"

Boom—————!!!!!

These words, like an ultimate judgment, like the most vicious curse, were accurately poured into the Souls of every Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom member and Federation citizen!

All the clues were connected!

Why would an "ordinary" Family have such a magical Bloodline?

Why did Chen Jun seem to have no power before?

Why did he suddenly become so terrifying?

Why didn't Ancestor Chen appear when Federation citizens were slaughtered?

Everything had a "perfect" explanation!

He was an ancient existence who had self-sealed!

It was the atrocities of Huang Yu and the ten Venerables that awakened him early!

Forced him to break the Seal!!!

In an instant, in the hearts of all Divine Kingdom members, the boundless fear of Chen Jun instantly transformed into... monstrous hatred for Huang Yu and the ten Venerables!!!

"Huang Yu!!! It's all your idiot's fault!!!"

"Hui Guang! Thunder Punishment! You bastards! Why did you go and provoke this existence!!"

"It's you! It's you who harmed the Divine Kingdom! Harmed all of us!!"

"We could have been safe and sound! We could have continued to live! It is you who brought destruction upon us!!"

"I hate it!! I hate it so much!!!"

...

Desperate wails and crazy curses spread like a plague among the Divine Kingdom members!

They no longer viewed Chen Jun as an enemy, but instead poured all their anger, all their fear, and all their despair onto the eleven figures kneeling and repenting on Kunlun Star!

It was Huang Yu's arrogance!

It was the ten Venerables acting as accomplices!

It was them who destroyed the foundation of the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom for billions of years!

Destroyed everyone's path to survival!

Chen Jun indifferently "watched" the scene below that was like Purgatory, feeling the extreme hatred for Huang Yu and the others that soared into the sky, and the crazy flames in his will seemed to get a trace of comfort.

But this was far from enough!

"Your celebration seems to have not ended yet?"

The hoarse voice sounded again, carrying a kind of hair-raising "playfulness."

"This Venerable... has come to add the final... 'entertainment program' for you."

Before the words fell, the ultimate darkness covering the dome suddenly boiled!

Like ink dripping into clear water, the darkness spread and eroded rapidly!

Everything touched by the darkness—

The flowing rivers of fine wine, the piled star spirit fruits, the dancing goddesses, the gorgeous decorations, and even the bodies of those frozen Star Arm Level and Galaxy Level powerhouses...

All silently, like pencil marks erased by an eraser, disappeared bit by bit!

There was no screaming, no explosion, only a kind of absolute, suffocating erasure!

"No! Don't!!"

"Great existence! Forgive us! We are innocent!"

"It's all Huang Yu's fault! Please let us go!"

...

Countless pleas and confessions erupted at the Soul level, but Chen Jun's will did not waver in the slightest.

The darkness was like a tide of death, pushing forward steadily and firmly.

Wherever it passed, all luxury, all celebration, all vitality... all "disappeared," as if returning to nothingness.

In just a few breaths, the capital of the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom, which was capable of accommodating trillions upon trillions of living beings and was extremely luxurious—

Shining World Celestial Vault, along with the Divine Kingdom members within it...

Completely "disappeared" by half!

In its place, there remained only an absolute emptiness, and those lucky ones who "survived," who were lying on the ground with their spirits completely collapsed, or rather, unfortunate witnesses.

Chen Jun's will, like a supreme god, looked down at this ruin of despair he had created with his own hands, and finally left a sentence that was deeply engraved into the Souls of every survivor like a brand of Law:

"Remember this despair."

"Remember this pain."

"Remember, who... brought all this to you."

"Then, carry this memory and... repent eternally in this ruin."

"As for Huang Yu and those ten pieces of trash... their punishment has only just begun. You can slowly 'appreciate' it."

Chen Jun's terrifying will that enveloped the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom returned to the main body on Kunlun Star like a receding tide.

On the Pillar of Leaders plaza, those eleven figures were still wailing in pain within the infinite Reincarnation of their own sins, their voices already hoarse and deformed, like beasts with their throats crushed.

The Federation masses were still immersed in the shock of Chen Jun being an "ancient self-sealed existence," and their eyes looking at him were full of unprecedented fanaticism and awe.

Just at this moment—

"Buzz—!!!"

The Universe Void outside Kunlun Star twisted violently without warning!

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands of the Universe were forcibly "dragging" some behemoth from an extremely distant place!

Space let out an unbearable groan, and the Law threads tightened and appeared, like harp strings about to snap.

The next second, under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, a phantom of a super continent, incomparably vast, incomparably prosperous, yet carrying half absolute dead silence and nothingness, emerged from blurry to clear, forcibly squeezed through the space barrier, and descended beside Kunlun Star!

It was the capital of the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom—Shining World Celestial Vault!

Only, its volume at this moment was forcibly compressed by an incomprehensible force by billions... upon billions of times, from the vastness that could originally accommodate trillions upon trillions of living beings, becoming as if it were just a "large satellite" of Kunlun Star!

But its internal spatial structure was perfectly preserved, and even more stable; its actual internal space was ten thousand times larger than the entire Qiming Star System!

Half was the ruins of the extremely luxurious, brightly lit celebration hall.

The other half was absolute, all-devouring, yet real nothingness!

This extreme contrast, this counter-intuitive control of time and space, made every living being who witnessed this scene feel a shudder from the Soul!

"That... what is that?!"

"It's the capital of the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom! Heavens! It was directly moved here by Ancestor Chen?! And it was split into two halves?! Half existing? Half nothingness?"

"Shrunk by more than billions of times?! This... what kind of heaven-defying method is this?!"
