Chapter 1355: Confronting The Primordium, Half-Real Spacetime (1)
Over the span of two trillion years, the Ming Jian Eternal Realm had methodically claimed the entire universe as its domain. The once-powerful Saintdoms, which had maintained some semblance of autonomy, had long since collapsed and withdrawn their forces.
This retreat wasn't due to conquest. Dao Zenithel Ming Jian had pledged to permit the True Saints behind these Saintdoms to govern their vast territories until the current samsara cycle concluded. They had withdrawn voluntarily, and for good reason.
Throughout this passage of time, Dao Zenithel Ming Jian had ventured deep into the cosmic sea, intervening in numerous conflicts and striking fear into the hearts of major powers. During one particularly notable clash in the cosmic sea's depths, he killed the supreme leader of the Abyss Alliance, the Lord of the Abyss, sending ripples of terror throughout all realms.
This marked the first time since the Primordium that anyone besides Goddess Nüwa had directly slain a Full Dao Zenithel using soul-class techniques. The feat left all factions stunned and afraid.
On the Eternal Rankings, Dao Zenithel Ming Jian now towered above titans like Great Emperor Yan Tuo, Eldritch Progenitor Di Jiang, Imperial Majesty Dong Huo, and Imperial Majesty Nan Guang, second only to the three supreme powerhouses: the Heavenly Imperator, Saint Yuan, and Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu.
For the countless Dao Zenithel powerhouses traversing the cosmic sea, encountering the Heavenly Imperator or Saint Yuan remained highly unlikely. Even if such encounters occurred, they might survive long enough to escape. But facing Ming Jian? His psyche weapon attacks could strike across vast distances of spacetime in an instant, and his unparalleled spacetime traversal abilities meant that once targeted, nowhere in the cosmic sea offered refuge.
No Dao Zenithel dared provoke him.
Beyond his combat prowess, Ming Jian had been openly acknowledged by the Blood Emperor and Dream Emperor as First Alliance Leader of the Blood Dream Alliance. This elevation in status had transformed the alliance into the third greatest power in the endless cosmic sea, surpassed only by the Eldritch Court and Immortal Court.
Under Ming Jian's leadership, the Blood Dream Alliance had formed an open alliance with the Eldritch Court, creating a counterbalance to the Immortal Court. His mere existence had kept the Immortal Court perpetually cautious, preventing them from launching any decisive battles even after Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's demise.
Ming Jian's renown had grown so vast that it approached that of Goddess Nüwa herself. He was universally recognized as the foremost Dao Zenithel of both the Psyche Dream class and Psyche Arsenal class.
Under these circumstances, how could any Saintdom forces within the Ling Jiang Universe harbor ambitions? Even the Dao Zenithels supporting those True Saints had lowered their heads in submission.
The universe stood unified. Dao Zenithel Ming Jian had become its supreme ruler, with countless beings chanting his name in worship. From Perennial powerhouses to the innumerable sempiternal lifeforms, all acknowledged that when the next samsara cycle arrived, Ming Jian would assume complete control.
