Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1888 A Good Match!

The battle began the moment Orion Starfall and Aurelian Lareth landed on the central stage. There was no casual greeting this time, and there was no slow testing.

The instant Angelina Valerius's hand lowered and the words appeared above the arena, both of them unleashed their power without a moment's hesitation.

[Battle Begins.]

Orion's smile remained on his face, but the starry light in his eyes turned sharp enough to make the air tremble.

He knew his body was not in perfect condition. He had already fought Revona to the edge and used Starfall Extinction against her, and then he had pushed himself against Ervin and lost after forcing the abyssal gate to open deeper.

The laws of the Eternal Hourglass had repaired his injuries, but some exhaustion could not be erased so easily. His foundation was still strained, his meridians still carried the echo of overdrawn star power, and his flesh still remembered the burden of converging the nine stars into himself again and again.

But he did not care.

Aurelian Lareth stood opposite him with a face colder than before. After losing to Max, the arrogance around him had hardened into something more dangerous.

He no longer looked like a proud prince waiting for others to kneel. He looked like a man whose throne had been cracked in front of the entire Divine Realm, and who now intended to bury the next opponent beneath enough light to make everyone forget that humiliation.

Golden-white radiance erupted behind him first.

"Heavenly Luminance Divine Dominion."

Aurelian opened his Pseudo Cosmic Path directly. Sacred halls rose behind him, and radiant pillars pierced the sky. A golden throne manifested beneath an endless sun, and the entire stage was swallowed in divine light before Orion had even taken his first step.

The pressure that descended ran far stronger than the openings he had used in most of his earlier battles. Aurelian had no intention of preserving strength, and he had no intention of showing mercy.

After Max had made his Heavenly Luminance power look useless, he needed to prove that against everyone else, the Divine Son's light remained terrifying.

Orion's smile widened slightly. "Straight to the dominion. Good. I was afraid you might still be in a bad mood."

Aurelian's eyes turned icy. "You talk too much."

Orion lifted one hand, and nine ancient stars appeared behind him. "Then I will fight more."

The nine stars descended at once.

"Pseudo Cosmic Path, Nine Star Sovereign Body."

Boom!

The stars entered Orion's flesh, his bones, his blood, his spine, his heart, his arms, his legs, and his soul foundation. His aura erupted upward and pushed against the Heavenly Luminance Divine Dominion with radiant celestial force.

Behind him a vast star palace appeared, cracked from previous burdens yet still majestic, surrounded by nine immense stars that turned like crowns of heaven.

The Divine Realm roared.

"They both opened Pseudo Cosmic Paths immediately!"

"Aurelian is not holding back after his loss to Max!"

"Orion is injured, but he still activated the Nine Star Sovereign Body from the start!"

"This will be brutal!"

Aurelian raised one hand.

"Divine Dominion, Twelve Pillars of Sacred Judgment."

Twelve radiant pillars appeared around Orion and fired golden-white beams from every direction. Each beam carried the authority of a Pseudo Cosmic Path, and each one sought to purify the star power inside Orion's body before it could fully circulate.

Orion vanished.

"Second Star Step."

His body slid through starlight and crossed the first beam by a hair's width. Then he twisted his torso, gathered burning star force into his fist, and punched the second beam directly.

"First Star Fist."

Boom!

The beam shattered. A third beam struck toward his back, but Orion's body spun in midair as the sixth star entered his shoulder.

"Sixth Star Pressure Crash."

His shoulder slammed into the beam and crushed it apart with dead-star heaviness. Aurelian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the twelve pillars adjusted their angles at once. The beams no longer fired at random. They locked onto Orion's movement rhythm, trying to seal off every possible path before he could shift again.

Orion laughed softly. "Not bad."

The third star entered his elbow.

"Third Star Elbow, Meteor Break."

His elbow fell like a plunging meteor and smashed through the nearest radiant pillar. The fourth star entered his leg next, and he kicked through another pillar with a crescent arc of starlight.

"Fourth Star Crescent Kick."

Two pillars shattered, but Aurelian's dominion rebuilt them instantly. Golden-white light poured down from the endless sun, repairing the broken pillars and strengthening the divine kingdom. Aurelian's expression stayed cold as his hand pressed downward.

"Divine Dominion, Luminance Decree."

A golden-white decree unfolded above Orion. Sacred words descended and targeted his body, his star circulation, and the rhythm of his Nine Star Sovereign Body. The moment the words touched him, Orion felt the star power in his limbs grow heavier. The decree was straining to suppress the connection between the nine stars and his flesh.

His smile faded slightly. "Annoying."

Aurelian's voice was cold. "Fall."

The decree brightened. Orion's knees bent under the pressure, and the radiant pillars around him fired again.

Rakan Thorne frowned from his pillar. "That decree is restricting his star changes."

Kaiden Voidmere nodded slightly. "Aurelian is not giving him the chance to build rhythm."

Ervin watched calmly. "Orion's body is still not at full strength."

Revona's eyes stayed fixed on the stage. "But his will has not weakened."

On the stage, Orion drew a deep breath. The ninth star entered his spine, and his entire body straightened beneath the decree.

"Ninth Star Crown Stabilization."

The star palace behind him trembled, and a crown of starlight appeared faintly above his head. The sacred words pressing down on him began cracking one after another. Orion clenched his right fist and poured three stars into his arm at once.

"Three-Star Heaven Breaker."

He punched upward, and the punch tore straight through the Luminance Decree.

Crack!

The decree split apart, and Orion rushed through the falling fragments of sacred light. His speed climbed again, and in a single breath he arrived before Aurelian.

"Five-Star Revolving Impact."

His fist, his elbow, his knee, his shoulder, and his palm struck one after another, and each carried a different star force. Aurelian formed a golden-white mirror with one hand and a sacred spear with the other.

"Divine Dominion, Sacred Mirror Guard."

"Heavenly Luminance, Royal Sun Spear."

The mirror blocked Orion's fist while the spear thrust toward his chest. Orion shifted the second star into his waist, twisted around the spear, and drove his knee into the mirror.

"Fifth Star Knee, Falling Orbit."

Boom!

The mirror shattered, and Aurelian retreated half a step. That half step made the Nine Star Court disciples erupt.

"He pushed him back!"

"Senior Brother Orion!"

"Break the dominion!"

Aurelian's face darkened. After his loss to Max, being forced back by another opponent felt like a second blade scraping across his pride. His crown blazed brighter, and the golden throne behind him released a more oppressive radiance.

"Divine Dominion, Royal Mandate of the Endless Sun."

The endless sun poured golden-white light into Aurelian's body. His aura surged, and the dominion pressed outward in every direction. Orion's star palace trembled beneath the pressure, and the nine stars around it flickered slightly.

Aurelian raised both hands.

"Heavenly Luminance Divine Dominion, Sacred Sun Spearfall."
