619: Chapter 622 The Throne of Destiny

The Eternal Divine Domain is like a vast ledger of merits.

It only rewards world-creating feats that break records.

"So, that means..."

A sharp, falcon-like glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

"The goal of this contest was never simply to slay others, but to surpass every opponent and become an existence more dazzling than the 'Protagonist'."

The sky was suddenly dyed a deep purple.

Those spots of light that looked like stars were actually distant floating palaces.

At this moment, they all began to tremble simultaneously.

[Ding, World Announcement]

[Node Event Triggered!]

[Contestant: Axiom of Nothingness, successfully synchronized and unified the Law of Destiny and the Time Law.]

[Authority Assumed: Throne of Destiny. 1%]

Lu Chen felt a wave sweep across heaven and earth.

That authority was not merely granted to Axiom of Nothingness; it materialized...

In the distant horizon.

A phantom, semi-transparent throne flashed and vanished.

This contest had already quietly raised its curtain.

That Axiom of Nothingness residing within the black hole,

Merely by perfectly Fusing the Laws surrounding him into a single expanse of nothingness,

Completed a peerless feat recognized by the Divine Domain.

Lu Chen understood that aimless wandering was meaningless.

He needed a world-suppressing masterpiece.

In this world,

Node Events were the true source of power.

Countless plans began to flash rapidly through his mind.

Forging a Domain... creating a divine sword capable of severing the concept of 'distance'.

Bloodline Domain... refining his own Origin to the extreme, surpassing all Supreme natives of the Divine Domain.

He could create things never before seen,

And accomplish feats that had never existed since ancient times.

But he still had one layer of apprehension.

The natives of the Eternal Divine Domain were by no means spectators watching from the sidelines.

They were terrifying existences who stood above the Innate Origin Realm,

On the same tier as the Creation Bloodline race.

Such top-tier races,

Were commonplace in the Divine Domain.

They had also dispatched the Prodigies of their clans to participate in this struggle for the Supreme Throne.

In the Burning Heaven Sea Region,

A Protagonist named Luo Wei was attempting to refine a 'Cold Flame' capable of incinerating the Soul.

If successful, this action would surely trigger a Node Event related to 'Elemental Purity'.

In the Clockwork God City, a Genius named Ji Hongtian,

Was developing a virus capable of infecting the World System, targeting the 'Information Authority' directly.

Every action was prying at the Foundation of reality.

The so-called Absolute Era was by no means an empty title.

It was a continuously upgrading spiral...

Every appearance of a Node Event raised the threshold for the next grand feat.

The entire world was constantly evolving amidst this conflict.

At this moment,

Lu Chen finally saw through the trap behind the Absolute Era.

He sat cross-legged beneath a tree,

Beginning to contemplate his next move.

He would never create flashy, useless artifacts just to trigger a Node Event.

Since cultivation could not increase his strength,

Then he had to forge a trump card sufficient to place him in an invincible position.

"One hundred million variables..."

He chuckled lowly, his voice echoing in the silent forest.

"I hope they are all prepared, because I am about to turn the Eternal Divine Domain into my private playground."

Lu Chen sat cross-legged in the Void Realm,

His posture relaxed,

His breathing long and steady.

A world-suppressing masterpiece capable of triggering a Node Event.

This was the demand this world placed upon him.

Lu Chen lightly touched his chin, his thoughts calm and composed.

He was never impatient; at his Realm, he had no need to race against time.

An idea took shape in his mind almost instantly,

As if it had been dormant deep within his Soul for a long time.

His boundless sword of the void sea.

A faint smile quietly curved the corners of his lips.

This sword was obtained when his Spiritual Root first underwent Awakening in the past.

At that time, his power was still meager, and he still needed external objects for amplification.

The method of this sword's creation was Heaven-Defying...

It directly connected to his Origin power.

This kind of operation, no one could accomplish except him.

A slight mistake could lead to self-immolation and complete destruction of the Divine Soul.

Its ability was simple yet terrifyingly immense...

It could amplify the holder's power by up to a million times.

Without any conditions, without any restrictions.

Regardless of the base strength, the amplification multiplier remained constant.

In any ordinary world,

Such a Divine Artifact would be revered like a deity.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen was no longer the same as before.

At his current level of existence, a million-fold amplification was simply laughable.

It wasn't that the sword had weakened,

But that Lu Chen's strength had long since far surpassed its utility.

Rendering it completely obsolete.

This was also why he had never considered upgrading this sword.

He simply didn't need it.

He never relied on any Sharp Weapon, Magic Treasure, or wondrous artifact.

His Physical Body, Soul, and Origin alone were enough to crush the multi-dimensional Void Realm.

Carrying this sword with him,

Had long become a habit, rather than a necessity.

But now, the situation was different.

The Eternal Divine Domain was not a simple battlefield, but a crucible.

It demanded creation, evolution, and transformation through breaking and then establishing anew.

It yearned to witness unprecedented miracles.

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A brilliant light flashed in his pupils.

"Since this world desires the 'strongest' object..."

He murmured, "Then I shall kill two birds with one stone."

It could trigger a Node Event,

And allow the 'boundless sword of the void sea' to truly live up to its name.

Lu Chen extended his hand.

The boundless sword of the void sea appeared silently before him, floating quietly in the Void Realm.

The sword body was long and flawless,

Condensed from a material possessing both material and conceptual attributes.

On the sword body,

Layers upon layers of runes and wisps of endless light flowed and flickered,

As if the entire infinite dimension had been compressed into this piece of metal.

Even to this day,

It still exuded a kingly aura that looked down upon the world.

Even to this day,

It was still the king of all weapons.

Lu Chen raised his hand and grasped the hilt.

"Old friend," he chuckled lowly, "It's time to give you an upgrade."

He released his hand,

Allowing the long sword to hover before his eyes.

He closed his eyes again,

His consciousness sinking inward,

Plunging into the deepest part of the Sea of Origin.

He began to conceive the upgrade plan.

The first modification, though simple, was absolute.

He wanted to grant this sword the ability to bestow upon its holder combat power exceeding their own by one major Realm.

Not theoretical Realm division,

Not cultivation Ranks,

But a Realm leap defined solely by actual combat power.

A Martial Artist possessing B-Rank combat power,

Wielding this sword, could unleash A-Rank strength.

An Ancestor-level expert,

Wielding this sword, could possess the combat power of the Innate Origin Realm.

And an Innate Origin Realm expert,

Wielding this sword,

Could step into that unknown territory no one had ever ventured into.

This definition was crucial.

Lu Chen's own actual combat power,

Already far surpassed those of the same Realm.

If the sword's amplification standard was based on cultivation Realm,

Then it would be useless in his hands.

Only actual combat power,

Was the sole criterion for measurement.
