Chapter 1858: A power beyond the Concepts
Cain’s eyes glowed with thrill and excitement as he watched the Sky Sovereign’s Alter-Ego evolve. The magnitude of the power radiating from the Sovereign was nothing short of astonishing, growing ever more potent as his Scarlet Star channeled the psychic energy of the Scarlet Throne. Rather than being concerned that the Sky Sovereign had gained access to the throne’s vast reserves, Cain felt only joy. It meant his calculations had succeeded brilliantly.
The throne was an immense structure that continuously grew, accumulating an almost immeasurable amount of energy. It was now far beyond Cain’s capacity alone to use it all, so sharing this energy with those under his command was a strategic victory rather than a loss. A sharp gleam of satisfaction appeared in Cain’s eyes as he decisively harnessed more of the throne’s psychic energy, directing it toward the Sky Sovereign and amplifying his ascension.
Power surged relentlessly through the Sky Sovereign’s form, the colossal dark sun behind him expanding further and further until, at last, it trembled violently under the strain before exploding spectacularly.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!"
An overwhelming explosion erupted from within the Sky Sovereign, and at that precise moment, his psychic energy transcended the limits of the Soul Realm. He had officially reached the realm of Mind and Body as One!
The enormous black sun behind him now spanned thousands of kilometers, a majestic sight to behold. Within its mysterious depths, endless shadowy creatures danced, each one radiating profound strength and an air of majestic rebirth. The sun had become a gateway to a transcendent realm, a place of eternal death and rebirth, where nightmares evolved beyond their nature.
"Hahahahaha!" The Sky Sovereign burst forth in triumphant laughter, his aura swelling and erupting outward, shaking the heavens. "Not even in my previous life, when I evolved my Ego, Essence, and Astral Paths to the Third Realm, did I reach a level such as this. It is simply magnificent!"
Yet his laughter swiftly shifted into ruthless coldness as his eyes gleamed with sinister brilliance. Without any hesitation, countless shadowy tendrils shot forth from the dark sun behind him. Moving at supernatural speed, they pierced the hearts and brains of thousands of Divine Masters, mercilessly devouring their very existence and siphoning their essence back into the Sky Sovereign.
Even though the Scarlet Leviathan was no longer a direct part of his Soul Dimension, his mastery over the associated Concepts had become even stronger. The Scarlet Star granted him access not merely to the Concepts of Life, Gluttony, Rage, Sundering, and Power—it had granted access to the Path of Conquest itself!
Every time the Sky Sovereign killed, he absorbed the victim’s essence, life, and energy. As for the soul and will, these were then devoured completely by his Scarlet Star, which in turn nourished the throne further with each passing death. Rather than mere fragments of their souls, now every aspect of their existence was consumed, forging a flawless cycle of mutual growth and endless expansion.
