Chapter 2471: Returning to the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe (I)
Anark regained control of his body almost instantly.
The power of the Samsara Immortal Body surged through him, and the wounds along his arm closed at once, flesh restoring itself under the influence of the Samsara Runic Set. Yet despite its miraculous regenerative ability, the runic set could do nothing for the injury in his chest.
That wound remained.
It burned with a lingering force that resisted healing, constantly draining his strength and disrupting the flow of his power. It was the very injury that made it impossible for the True Primordial of the Void to overcome the Monster of the Root.
Rage and frustration surged in Anark’s heart as he lifted his gaze toward the battlefield.
The Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance had grown tremendously over the past few years. New Alpha–Omega Overgods had risen. Runic War Avatars had been perfected and deployed in large numbers. Their coordination, discipline, and overall strength had reached heights unimaginable in the past.
And yet... it was still not enough.
The forces of the Root were overwhelming.
Anark clenched his fists as his thoughts drifted back to the moment everything had changed—the moment the Universe Will fell silent.
Even now, he did not understand how it had happened. Somehow, the masters of the World of the Root had forced the Universe Will into a dormant state, plunging it into something akin to a coma. With that single act, one of the greatest advantages of the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe had been stripped away.
Without the Universe Will, nothing suppressed the power of beings like Robuke or the other high-level entities of the Root as they moved through the void.
And worse still, the warriors of the Six Sacred Races no longer received Origin Power when they slew enemies. The fallen bodies of the invaders simply drifted through space, useless and inert.
