Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 616 -616-The Sword-Sea Emperor Pummeled Like a Sieve

"Thinking of fleeing?"

Amidst the turmoil, the Dragon Emperor extended across the void. His immense, endless dragon form swiftly enveloped half of the cosmos.

Twisting his neck, his draconic gaze fixed upon the Sword-Sea Emperor.

Once again, the Cataclysm Dimension burst forth!

Dark, supreme bolts of lightning ripped across the Fate River, charging straight at the Sword-Sea Emperor!

Activating the Devouring Cursed Sword Array, the Sword-Sea Emperor caused nine hundred and ninety-nine Cursed Swords to chime together, desperately slashing back against the Fate River.

Right then, Aurek sprang into action.

In a flash, he crossed the cosmic divide and appeared just beyond the Devouring Cursed Sword Array!

The Sword-Sea Emperor was only starting to direct the 333 primary assault Cursed Swords toward Aurek.

But Aurek boldly entered the Cursed Sword Array itself!

The array's intense savagery immediately surrounded him.

Using Dimensional Vision, an unseen barrier of light burst out in a radius of a million miles centered on Aurek!

Crashing into the light barrier, the Cursed Swords produced brilliant, searing flashes!

Shock widened the Sword-Sea Emperor’s eyes.

Channeling the Fate River, he shaped it into a ray of supreme sword energy aimed at Aurek.

At the same time, the 333 Cursed Swords protecting the Fate River rushed forward to skewer him!

Boom—!

The Sword-Sea Emperor’s blade hit the unseen barrier!

The impact resembled clashing against a cosmic divide. The unseen barrier quaked fiercely, jolting the whole Sword Universe!

Astonishment gripped the Sword-Sea Emperor completely.

As a recent Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, he was still a pioneer in that level!

But even his maximum effort couldn't breach this light barrier?!

With a flick of his sleeve, Aurek unleashed the Art of Creation inside the Devouring Cursed Sword Array!

Sequentially, the Cursed Swords were pushed away by force, and the severe rebound made the Sword-Sea Emperor cough up blood, his presence weakening sharply!

Perfectly timed, the Dragon Emperor’s Cataclysm Dimension then descended!

"Curse it! How can this be?!"

"Such fighting prowess can match a Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank without trouble. And he hasn't reached Ninth-Level Supreme Sage Rank!"

Thoughts whirled through the Sword-Sea Emperor’s head as he desperately assessed the situation.

Finally, he arrived at a staggering realization:

Both the Dragon Emperor and Aurek possessed power capable of challenging a Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank!

United in battle like this, they left him without any hope of winning!

He decided in an instant.

Abruptly, six hundred and sixty-six Cursed Swords broke through the space barrier, aiming for Aurek!

Meanwhile, seizing the leftover 333 protective Cursed Swords, he shattered the Fate River's limit and withdrew the Devouring Cursed Sword Array into its core!

Sensing his plan, the Dragon Emperor acted.

A blast of dragon flames from his mouth demolished half of the Sword-Sea Emperor’s Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank form!

"Aurek, mark my words. You’ll pay for this—I won’t let it go!"

Enraged, the Sword-Sea Emperor bellowed, sacrificing six hundred and sixty-six Cursed Swords as he hauled his broken body past the Fate River's edge and fled the Sword Universe.

All those six hundred and sixty-six unattended Cursed Swords were halted by Aurek’s invisible barrier.

Lifting his hand, Aurek subdued them, choosing not to chase.

A Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank's might surpassed normal understanding. Completely eliminating the foe remained a tough task even now.

After all, attaining that level allowed mastery over fate as a tool, living alongside the Fate River.

The Dragon Emperor held back from chasing too, turning his stare toward Alexander and the remaining Sage Ranks from the Origin Sword Sea.

Countless of those Supreme Sage Ranks had already fallen repeatedly to the assault of hundreds of billions from the Quasi-Empyrean Sanctum forces.

Aided by Suggwoth and his allies, they were felled one after another, totally wiped from the Fate River.

Ultimately, among the thirty-eight Supreme Sage Ranks, only Alexander barely got away.

More than a hundred billion troops from the Divine Court legions ravaged the Sword Universe.

Utterly razed, the Origin Sword Sea saw its temples, spires, and wonders—enduring for endless ages—destroyed in the overwhelming wave of ruin.

Successive mighty inherited forces turned to ashes in that devouring flood.

...

"Pfft—!"

Fleeing to the universe's brink, the Sword-Sea Emperor vomited blood into the emptiness.

Wherever his blood landed, a world emerged. Innumerable lives burst into existence right away, sustained by that vital fluid.

Laboriously mending his wrecked form, he looked back at the Sword Universe with deep regret.

Aurek was so close, holding that earth-shaking mystery.

The mystery enabling his rise from fresh Supreme Sage Rank to Ninth-Level Supreme Sage Rank in just one year, plus commanding almost a hundred billion Quasi-Empyrean Sanctum soldiers.

It probably connected to the Dark Abyss somehow.

Eternity's breakthrough felt so near.

But he couldn't overcome them. How could he bear it?

"I can't eliminate him..."

"Yet he holds this mystery. If it leaks out, endless entities will crave it!"

"It’s far from finished!"

"I’ve still got an opportunity!"

Ruthless determination sparked in the Sword-Sea Emperor’s gaze.

One unbeatable Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank— what about two, ten, or even more?

By exposing all of Aurek’s details, he could rally neighboring Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks to crush him!

Afterward, the mystery would be his to claim.

Regarding the Dark Abyss... that vague, shadowy entity.

No one could tell if it brought disaster or the road to everlasting rise.

However, Aurek’s mystery was real, apparent, and graspable!

...

Origin Sword Sea – Temple.

Here, Aurek arrived.

The turbulent heart of the Sword Universe, this place birthed all its might.

By the Sword-Sea Emperor’s own hand, the Origin Sword Sea was forged.

Contemporaries with the Primordial Ancients, he ranked among this stellar domain's titans.

Fate had once blessed the Sword-Sea Emperor.

Still, his time's limits confined him to the Sword Universe.

Trailing behind those ancient Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks in progress, he missed the buildup of infinite ages.

In response, over tens of millions of years, he carefully built the Devouring Cursed Sword Array.

Terrifying was the viciousness of those Cursed Swords.

Across myriad worlds numbering tens of thousands, each had slain uncounted souls.

Even within a minor realm such as the Endless Continent, one blow had eradicated billions.

Even the Sword-Sea Emperor struggled under the weight of this amassed Karma of Slaughter.

Furthermore, since the Cursed Sword Array remained unfinished, he couldn't harness its full might.

Had it been complete, the array might have endangered even those elder Quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks.

Not their sharpness, but the endless grudge they bore—that was the Cursed Swords' real dread.

With every slash, the fury of myriad souls flooded into the foe.

Capable of tainting fortune, tainting destiny, this grudge could topple even the mightiest.

Truly awe-inspiring lay the Origin Sword Sea's base.

Here gathered every imaginable cosmic treasure.

Leveled to nothing now, the Origin Sword Sea fell entirely to the Crossbridge Divine Court as loot, encompassing the whole Sword Universe!

For specific motives, Aurek opted to claim this universe before the Luminous Land of Nasei.

Firstly, testing the might of powers near the Chaos Singularity via the Origin Sword Sea served him well.

Secondly, he sought firsthand knowledge of Quasi-Eternal Sage Rank power.

Thirdly, dominating a treasure-filled universe offered a perfect base.

Thirty-six Supreme Sage Ranks killed and David totally obliterated, their core destinies taken, Aurek could boost his followers' swift advancements.

Undeniably, this clash yielded a massive gain.
