Chapter 986 - An Oath Is Broken! II

Near the Draconic Holy Lands, intense reverberations of essence erupted throughout as Paragons faced against each other- the Paragons of the 4 Bloodline Races that had the support of the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor having the winning edge as time passed.

While the enemies they faced became increasingly more exhausted, they themselves still had immense reserves of mana as their mana reserves were literally increased multiple times over!

ROAAR!

The terrifying Draconic Progenitor that had just re-emerged was currently ripping apart the Progenitor of the Nine-Tailed Foxes, this Paragon only being capable of keeping his life due to the Cosmic Dao of Phantasm that allowed for him to turn portions of his body into illusions, weaving in and out of Tiamat's attack this way as he was burning a tremendous amount of essence.

Even this being felt like his life was on a timer as Tiamat's attacks were relentless and filled with hate, his expression becoming more and more drastic!

But even in the midst of his battle, he was like many other Paragons that had their eyes towards a certain location.

It was the area where a black Realm they couldn't see through existed, the area where the Tyrant Dragon had disappeared with 10 Paragons of the Bloodline Races!

They watched this place intently with immense apprehension as they hoped the scene that had occurred before the battle even began would not repeat itself again.

They hoped to not see the figure of a lone Dragon with all the Paragons somehow missing again!

That would be truly too barbaric!

THRUM!

Mana overflowed in the area that many beings were observing, the black realm they couldn't see through beginning to shatter and dissolve apart.

What was revealed within…

"Ah…"

"No…!"

"How can it be so!"

The Paragons of the 5 Bloodline Races cried out fearfully and unwillingly as they saw the lone figure of the Tyrannical Dragon Emperor!

His gaze was placid as the Life Realm shattered, overlooking every single being of the Billions around him with utter calmness as if he hadn't just locked himself with 10 Paragons in a Realm and come out alone.

To Noah, it didn't matter whether it was 5 or 10- as long as beings who could not defend against the terrifying Sea of Ruination were wrapped up within it, they would ultimately perish!

RUMBLE!

His body was still rumbling with power as he seemed ready to move, the hearts of many beings becoming filled with terror as they knew if 10 Paragons could not stop this being as he decimated them so quickly, what else could they do?

This Universal War...would only end when the rivers of blood exceeded even those of Dragons that they massacred just hours prior.

Yet...as the Tyrant Dragon was about to move, something appalling occurred as the hearts of everyone nearly leaped out of their chests!

OOOOM!

In the next second, the figures of every single being in the nearby millions of miles...came to a halt.

Complete and utter state of no movement, where even their mana could not circulate within their bodies.

Darkness seemed to descend all around, covering the eyes of every single being as they couldn't even see millimeters ahead of them.

Zero movements, immense darkness!

Terror filled the eyes of every single being on the battlefield!

The billions of beings that were just battling...nearly all of them felt a deep sense of terror as their hearts screamed out a single thing.

'Hegemony!'

RUMBLE

Terror ran rampant as an instant later, the aura of a Hegemony descended wildly.

Everything was ushered into utter darkness as the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Tenebrosity covered everything.

Even though everyone was terrified, all of them had an inkling of why this terrifying aura of a Hegemony had descended down.

Even though they couldn't see, their minds still remembered the location where a certain Tyrant Dragon was!

It was there that the terrifying aura of the Hegemony had bloomed from, the first area that utter darkness had spread out until it covered everything an instant later!

The Paragons on all sides knew who the target of this aura was, and they were all the more shocked about it as they knew the unwritten rule of Hegemonies not being able to attack those below them. But the descending aura today let them know that this rule would be broken.

The Oath that every Universal Hegemony made when they rose in the Primordial Cosmos...would be broken today for a certain being!

In the field of utter darkness, Noah's body was utterly still like everyone else.

His heart was calm as while nobody could see a single thing, he was one of the very few who saw exactly what happened!

Right as he was about to move, a hand had bloomed in front of him, its size larger than even his entire body. This hand brought with it darkness that spread everywhere, Noah sensing the widespread and senseless use of a Cosmic Dao in the hands of a Hegemony.

It was a Cosmic Dao he hadn't come across too, the essence of this Dao as well as the aura of a genuine Universal Realm expert pressing onto him as it locked down his movements and even his usage of abilities, sinking back all the essence and mana he released back into his body!

This utterly black hand then came towards his body as pure darkness erupted from it and threatened to drown him whole!

Yet in the midst of all of this, Noah's heart was calm.

His thoughts were pure.

He stared at this shocking development in the face as he wondered exactly what caused it all and what direction he would take, his mind actually calculating many things as he thought about Ambrose and the other Hegemony he was talking to, many ideas and thoughts being formulated at such a time as this!

He was the one at the center of it all, and he was actually the most laid back as others were not like him!

When the utterly black hand appeared and the attack descended down with the aura of the Hegemony, one of the first beings to notice it as she rose up in shock and full of wrath...it was Valentina.

RUMBLE!

Within her isolated Realm, space tore open as her body buzzed with the Cosmic Dao of Annihilation, her beautiful face full of rage as she tore through the void of space and rushed towards the location!

Her heart trembled as she had never expected a Hegemony making a move against a being in a lesser Realm, much less for it to be a being that she supported. With a wrathful gaze, she moved as her aura would also soon descend into the Animus Universe!
