I fabricated myths to guide the revival of spiritual energy.

"Buzz—!!!"

As the critically wounded and dying Chief Judge crushed the badge of supreme crisis, the skies above the capital of Ellan witnessed the most terrifying anomaly in hundreds of years.

The torrential rain that raged through the lower city was at this moment forcefully repelled by an indescribable, vast power. The "elemental sea" that was originally formless and intangible above the capital was now like a completely boiled ocean, emitting a deafening roar.

In the center of that boiling sea of ​​elements, seven white towers, representing the pinnacle of absolute power in the magical world of Elran, simultaneously unleashed dazzling pillars of light that shot straight into the heavens.

Red, blue, cyan, yellow, silver, gray, purple.

Seven distinct elemental lights, like seven giant swords tearing through the night, completely illuminated the night sky of the entire imperial capital.

Within the rules of the Elran magical world, a God of Magic represents the absolute ceiling of power, roughly equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation system. At this moment, under the suppression of the underlying rules of this world, Chu Tian's maximum power, which he can reliably utilize, is also firmly capped at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, these seven Archmages are by no means clowns who can be manipulated at will. They represent the most complete, orthodox, and top-tier magical civilization in this world, while Chu Tian represents an ultimate swordsmanship that is completely independent of the elements.

This was a clash of titans that transcended power systems.

In the night sky, the seven magic towers did not descend directly in their true forms. Instead, with the support of the white towers and the sea of ​​elements, they projected seven elemental avatars, each a hundred feet tall and radiating terrifying pressure, over the capital.

The Flame Mage was enveloped in crimson karmic fire that could incinerate all things; the space around the Frost Mage was frozen into countless tiny ice crystals; the Storm Mage resided in the eye of a hurricane; the Earth Mage trod through the void as if walking on solid ground; the Starlight Mage was surrounded by dazzling starlight; the Soul Mage had a blurred face and emitted a wave that made people tremble with fear; and the Space Mage was hidden in layers upon layers of dimensional folds.

Seven divine forms and seven magical powers formed the "Seven Towers Judgment" in the sky, powerful enough to suppress an entire realm.

Faced with Chu Tian, ​​the otherworldly visitor who had annihilated the Tribunal in an instant, the high and mighty White Tower Gods abandoned their initial disdain and became cautious. However, their ingrained arrogance still made them believe that as long as they were within this sea of ​​elements, they were invincible gods.

"An otherworldly powerhouse with an unknown system."

The Star God of Light, residing in the center, spoke slowly. His voice, resonating through the seven white towers, echoed throughout the entire capital like thunder from the heavens: "You possess power sufficient to defy the Court of Judgment. But in this world, the laws of the White Towers are the will of Heaven. The Elemental Sea cannot be desecrated."

The Starshine Archmage looked down at the blue-robed swordsman below, who resembled an ant, his tone carrying an air of condescending charity: "Open your sea of ​​consciousness, let us analyze the source of your power. In exchange, the White Tower can promise to grant you a dignified seal, sparing your soul from annihilation."

Under this terrifying divine power that would break any archmage, Chu Tian didn't even blink.

Playing the lute to a cow has never been his style.

Chu Tian merely turned his head slightly and glanced at Liya and the group of trembling children behind him.

"Walk."

This seemingly mundane word, under the overwhelming pressure of the seven divine figures, forcefully created a completely safe haven.

Lia bit her lip, glancing at the despairing god in the sky, then at Chu Tian's not-so-broad but as tall and straight as a solitary peak. She felt worried, but she knew even more clearly that staying would only be a burden.

A resolute glint flashed in her left eye, which bore the dark gold sword pattern. She began to trust in this man's strength and to take on her own responsibilities.

"Go! Follow me into the secret passage!" Without further hesitation, Leah picked up her younger brother Allen and, leading dozens of children, rushed towards the safe passage leading to the abandoned lead mine without looking back.

Watching the group of "experimental assets" evacuate right under his nose, the most hot-tempered of the Fire Mages let out a furious snort.

"Stubborn fool! Since you refuse to kneel and accept the seal, then turn to ashes!"

The three mage towers—fire, frost, and storm—simultaneously erupted with dazzling light. These three distinct, even mutually exclusive, extreme elements, under the command of the mage, were perfectly fused together.

"The Tripartite Forbidden Spell - Doomsday Catastrophe!"

In the sky, a massive meteorite composed of extremely compressed ice and fire, surrounded by raging tornadoes that could tear everything apart, crashed down on Chu Tian with the terrifying power to destroy a city!

Faced with this forbidden spell that could change the very fabric of the world, Chu Tian gripped the ancient scabbard with his left hand and gently pushed it with his right thumb.

"Zheng—"

The sword's edge, drawn an inch from its sheath.

A streak of cyan sword energy swept out from that one-inch sword tip.

This sword energy sliced ​​through the air and the torrential rain, striking the center of the falling meteorite with extreme precision!

"Boom—!"

The forbidden spell was forcibly split in two in mid-air and completely detonated! The terrifying shockwave instantly leveled the area within thousands of meters of Chu Tian, ​​and even the surrounding space developed fine black cracks due to the pressure of this energy.

But at the epicenter of that cataclysmic explosion, Chu Tian, ​​dressed in a green robe, held a sword in one hand, his feet rooted to the spot, not even the hem of his robe fluttering.

"This is impossible! He didn't invoke any elements, so how could he have broken the forbidden spell?!" The Frost God's avatar exclaimed in disbelief.

"Don't judge him by the rules of magic! Use the rules to suppress him!" the Earth God roared.

In an instant, the vast earth veins beneath the capital of Erlan were forcibly extracted. A terrifying gravitational field, powerful enough to crush fine steel into paper, descended upon Chu Tian.

At the same time, the Space God formed hand seals, and the space around Chu Tian shattered like a mirror. A bottomless "Void Exile Gate" suddenly opened beneath his feet, attempting to exile him directly into the spatial interlayer.

The most insidious soul god transformed into an invisible soul blade, ignoring physical defenses, and pierced straight into Chu Tian's sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to destroy his will directly from within!

Triple rules, a decisive victory!

But they were facing sword cultivators.

Chu Tian took a step forward, extending his longsword three inches further.

"break."

A sword slashed down from above, instantly severing the earth's gravity chains that were trying to suppress him. The earth of the capital let out a painful cry.

The sword swung horizontally, unleashing an overwhelming and unstoppable sword aura that slashed directly into the void exile gate beneath their feet. The spatial vortex, which even the Archmage couldn't escape, was brutally and forcefully smoothed out by this single strike, the spatial rift closing instantly as if a wound had been roughly stitched up!

Finally, he faced the soul invasion that pierced straight into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Chu Tian didn't even draw his sword. He merely raised his eyes slightly, and in his pupils, which were like an eternally frozen pool, was reflected a supreme sword spirit that stood tall and firm.

The sword intent in Chu Tian's eyes was so real that it stabbed back!

"ah--!"

The Soul God let out an extremely shrill scream. His soul tentacles, which had attempted to probe Chu Tian's sea of ​​consciousness, were instantly shredded by the sword intent. The terrifying backlash surged back through the spiritual connection, and a huge black crack appeared between the brows of the hundred-foot-tall Soul God in the sky, almost causing it to collapse on the spot!

"This child must not be allowed to live! Activate the Seven Towers Formation!"

The Starshine Archmage finally felt a genuine chill. He realized that his opponent's power system completely exceeded the comprehension of magic. If he didn't annihilate him here, the entire White Tower's centuries-old rule would be overturned by this single individual!

The sea of ​​elements above the entire capital city began to spin violently as the seven magic gods frantically extracted them.

The pillars of light from the seven magic towers converged at the top of the sky, condensing into an enormous halo that shimmered with seven-colored runes—the "Seven Luminaries God Sealing Ring"!

This is no longer ordinary magic, but an absolute law that directly extracts the essence of the world, enough to completely seal off this world and suppress the destiny of an entire realm!

Faced with this deadly attack that represented the highest limit of magic in the world of Ellan, Chu Tian finally gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Clang—!"

The ancient sword was fully drawn, and a sword cry that pierced the heavens and earth resounded.

The world rules of the Elran magic world groaned under the strain, frantically suppressing the power erupting from Chu Tian's body and firmly limiting his cultivation level to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, while one's realm may be suppressed by the world, Chu Tian's ultimate sword intent, forged amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, cannot be bound!

Chu Tian gripped his sword with both hands, his blue robes fluttering wildly in the raging elemental currents. The sword intent that had been suppressed for so long surged wildly within the limits of this world, reaching a breathtaking extreme!

With a sword held high, he fiercely unleashed a breathtaking sword river that stunned the entire rainy night, facing the Seven Luminaries God-Sealing Ring that was pressing down upon him.

This sword strike did not cleave through pure magical energy.

Chu Tian's gaze pierced through the appearance of the elements. With this sword, he struck the seemingly unbreakable "Elemental Authority Connection" between the seven Magic God Towers with extreme precision!

"boom--!!!"

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

The Seven Luminaries Sealing God Ring, which was said to be an absolute seal, was like glass struck by a heavy hammer in front of Chu Tian's sword river. It only lasted for less than half a breath before it exploded into a sky full of dazzling seven-colored light rain!

The terrifying sword energy continued its relentless advance, sweeping against the heavens and violently carving out a terrifying rift hundreds of miles long in the vast and boundless sea of ​​elements above the imperial capital!

The thick clouds were split in two, and the cold starlight poured down on the sky above the capital of Ellan, following the unhealable sword wound.

"puff--!"

The seven magic towers trembled violently at the same time.

In the sky, the three divine forms of fire, ice, and soul, which were at the forefront of the attack, didn't even have time to scream before they shattered on the spot under this heaven-defying sword energy, turning into countless scattered elemental light points!

The remaining four Dharma forms—Storm, Earth, Starlight, and Space—also suffered unimaginable damage, their forms becoming extremely illusory, as if they might dissipate with the wind at any moment.

The gods of the White Tower finally realized the terror of Chu Tian for the first time in this arrogant sword strike.

He is not some otherworldly specimen that can be manipulated at will; he is an extreme calamity who, with just himself and his sword, is enough to completely destroy their lofty ruling system!

"Retreat! Retreat to the White Tower! We cannot fight any longer!"

A terrified roar emanated from the illusory form of the Starshine God.

The remaining four broken Dharma forms lost their initial arrogance and frantically retreated into the white towers as if avoiding venomous snakes. The light of the seven Dharma God Towers dimmed instantly, and then an extremely thick, almost tangible magical barrier enveloped the entire white tower complex.

They dared not be complacent any longer and directly activated the ultimate defense of the Elran magical world—the "White Tower Central Hub".

……

A safe house located extremely far from the battlefield.

Leah and dozens of children stared blankly through the gaps in the ventilation ducts at the breathtaking scene in the distant sky that silenced the entire world.

They saw the seven divine figures, like gods, and also the invincible sword light that tore through the sky and split the entire elemental sea in two.

Leah gripped the purple recording crystal tightly in her hand. The sharp edges pierced her palm, and blood dripped onto the lead stone ground, but she felt no pain whatsoever.

The projection of Randall Manor has been cut off, and the nobles of the Upper Town are trying to bury the truth back into darkness.

If she were merely hiding here with her children, barely clinging to life, then Chu Tian's sword strike would have lost its meaning in breaking through the darkness.

Leah took a deep breath and turned to look at Allen beside her and the children who were also watching her. In her left eye, marked with a dark gold sword pattern, gleamed an unprecedentedly resolute light.

Leah stood up, raising the blood-stained purple crystal high, her voice carrying a power that threatened to overturn the stagnant waters of the lower city:

"It's time for us to do what we can."

"I'm going to spread this evidence of crime to every corner of the Lower City through all the underground black market crystal networks!"
