Chapter 2045: 848. The beginning of the crack and the impact on the Upper Plane.
First-Rank Heavenly Demon Beasts are at the peak of divine beast strength and usually require tens of thousands of elites from all sides to possibly slay them.

Most of the time, a First-Rank Heavenly Demon Beast can wreak havoc after bursting through a rift before retreating unscathed.

Unless it encounters the sword cultivators and the sword array of the Nine Mysteries City entangling it.

As for the Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast, there are but a few forces in the Arena of Strife that can withstand them.

Nine Mysteries City, Wanling Palace.

Besides these two, there are no other forces with a record of actually assembling an army strong enough to fend off a Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast; the rest have no such battle achievements.

Whenever there is a hint of a Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast approaching, everyone’s first reaction is to flee.

Of course, the only person who can hunt a Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast alone, is Han Muye.

Today, in the Contend of Ten Thousand Realms, he is the only one recognized by all as a king at the Overlord Level.

Master Han.

Void Sword Immortal.

He has reached the pinnacle of this world with the power of Artifact Refining, yet he is a powerful being who has achieved an Overlord’s strength through the Sword Dao.

“Boom—”

A Ten Thousand Li Sword Light directly slashes back the black figure bursting through the void.

The sword light, brimming with vitality and sharpness, illuminates billions of miles.

This sword represents the peak of the swordsmanship in the world.

No one can stand tall under this sword light.

Over the past 300 years, the sword in Han Muye’s hands grew increasingly sharp and majestic.

He could feel that after achieving the Sword Dao Overlord Level, each strike of his sword spurred on his own power enhancement, continuing his comprehension.

Sword of Birth.

Sword of Extinction.

The level of sword light has also multiplied over the past 300 years.

Now, not even a Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast can face his sword light directly.

“His combat strength has already surpassed that of the former Primordial Overlord,” Chaos said softly, standing at a distance, gazing at that streak of sword light.

Next to him, one of the God-Slaying Puppet Fighters nodded, its eyes full of sharp light: “Those original Overlords from the Desolate Wilderness ultimately chose to leave.”

“According to them, once their existence starts to impact the operation of heaven and earth, they have no choice but to depart.”

Having an impact on the operation of heaven and earth signifies an Overlord of the world.

Only such existences have the qualifications to say they influence the workings of heaven and earth.

“He’s not far from that step either…”

…

In the void, the Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast that was repelled by the sword light fled in panic.

Han Muye, holding his three-foot-long sword, fell into contemplation for a moment before vanishing from sight.

He returned to Nine Mysteries City, where Xu Zhi had been waiting in the hall.

Xu Zhi held in his hands a golden piece of metal.

“The Golden Marrow of the Nine Rings Star Domain has been mined. According to the communications from there, the reserves are so abundant that they have the potential to multiply the cultivation strength of numerous cultivation universes several times over,” Xu Zhi said with a smile, presenting the metal to Han Muye.

Han Muye reached out to take it. The Golden Marrow was extremely heavy, with hidden power deep within it, profound and dynamic.

In his view, the overall strength enhancement of a cultivation universe was a good thing.

The opening of these treasures could bolster the combat power of all the top warriors in the cultivation universe.

Back then, there were many treasures sealed by the Ice Cold Hammer.

However, they were not urgent to open for the time being.

The Golden Marrow from this star domain alone could sustain the Myriad Universes for a million years, or even longer.

A golden flame arose.

The Golden Marrow slowly melted in Han Muye’s hands, and spiritual materials began to drop in.

In just a moment, a set of light golden armor appeared.

This black armor was thin and showed Great Spiritual essence.

It was half-step Universe-level armor, with the special feature of having both spatial and temporal attributes, allowing it to traverse the void and also enhance the Metal-type combat strength contained within the Golden Marrow.

Most importantly, this black armor could fuse with the power of other battle armors.

Ordinary battle puppets could only be controlled individually, but this armor was different.

The power of this armor could be stacked.

Han Muye, having stepped into the Overlord Level, with improved comprehension of power, was able to achieve this.

In the past, his combined battle puppets couldn’t stack their power without losses like this.

“Buzz—”

Divine patterns began to emerge one after another on the armor.

This was the advantage of top-tier spiritual materials, which could automatically engender divine patterns.

Divine patterns are the manifestations of Origin rules themselves.

“This armor shines through with golden light, and the divine patterns are dazzling. Let’s call it the Golden Radiance Armor,” he said, tossing the armor in front of Xu Zhi.

“With this armor’s enhancement, Mr. Xu should have Cosmic Level Combat Power now, right?”

Xu Zhi’s strength wasn’t considered high, but he already had one Puppet Fighter, which was at the half-step Universe level.

Now, with this piece of armor, their combined strength reached a common Universe level.

Such a level of power could dominate the Galaxy Universe.

Xu Zhi, who hadn’t even reached the Immortal Venerable realm, could elevate his strength to the peak of the world with the help of two treasures.

This was the power of Artifact Refining.

The Galaxy Universe became one of the most top-notch in the Ten Thousand Domains by leveraging this power, enslaving countless universes.

At the level of Han Muye, he understood that any Dao, once taken to its extreme, could become a powerful presence in the Ten Thousand Domains.

However, many inheritances have downsides.

For example, in the Desolate Wilderness, when bloodline powers reach their peak, they suppress other members of their own, as well as foreign races.

Whether it be the Immortal Dao or the Sword Dao, only a few can cultivate to the peak.

That the Galaxy Universe, taking the Artifact Refining as its main Dao, has become a peak Overlord is not without reason.

Artifact Refining is capable of elevating the entire strength of a universe.

With an effort spanning ten years, Han Muye refined a hundred sets of the Golden Radiance Armor.

Of these hundred sets, ten were placed in the Heavenly Secret City for auction within the Heavenly Mystery Space.

This was a treasure that could even slightly elevate the combat strength of top-ranking powerhouses.
