Chapter 681: Chapter681-The Secret of Aetherian Sanctuary Revealed
Aurek sensed something in his heart.
The power contained within that single feathered wing was already comparable to that of a high-tier Origin God.
As for Metatron’s true body, it was undoubtedly even stronger—perhaps he had already attained the rank of a Source-Return God.
Since Metatron had chosen to lend him aid, Aurek had no objection to rescuing him from the “Dark Abyss.”
In exchange, Metatron would temporarily help Aurek deter any quasi-Source-Return God Heaven might send down.
Aurek stepped into the Fate River.
If Heaven continued its invasion, endless living beings would inevitably suffer catastrophe.
Battles between supreme gods above the Divine Revelant rank could shatter stars and split apart universes at every turn, easily erasing entire starfields from existence.
Faced with such brutal warfare, who in this endless Star Sea could remain untouched?
Even an eternal sage-rank being like Primordial Elder would only be able to cling to life within such a storm.
Aurek returned to the Starry Sky of Myriad Races and descended upon the Styx Sector.
His mind power instantly locked onto the sacred stele lying at the bottom of the river beneath Sacredwood Settlement.
Before, it had shown no sign of anything unusual, like nothing more than an ordinary stone, unnoticed by all.
But now, the patterns carved across its surface had begun to glow, and a forbidden aura spread from it.
It was as though the shackles of an eternal seal, laid down since time immemorial, were gradually crumbling under the erosion of ages.
With a wave of his hand, Aurek poured vast, boundless divine power into the sacred stele, intending to accelerate the destruction of the sealing runes engraved upon it.
Yet to his surprise, that power not only failed to break the seal, but instead seemed like fire fed with fresh kindling, causing the seal’s might to blaze even more fiercely.
Left with no choice, Aurek withdrew his divine power.
“Could it be that this seal can only be broken from within? Or perhaps some special token is required?”
His brows furrowed deeply, clouds of doubt filling his mind.
Rumble—!
A thunderous crash suddenly shook the universe.
At that exact moment, deep within the twelve layers of Aetherian Sanctuary, the long-silent cocoon of light suddenly split apart.
A dazzling starlight burst forth like a newborn sun rising into the heavens.
Beyoncé stepped out of the cocoon in a single stride, her aura surging like a boundless tide.
The fortune dragon coiled above the Supreme Sanctuary abruptly awakened, throwing back its head with a furious roar.
Its immense body stretched across all twelve layers of the Divine Sanctuary, radiating golden light in ten thousand rays, as though it intended to stand in direct opposition to Beyoncé herself.
Far away at Sacredwood Settlement, Aurek sensed the astonishing disturbance at once.
He cast one final deep glance at the sacred stele, then turned and hurried back to the Divine Sanctuary.
He had already grasped every secret of the Dark Abyss.
And now, what stirred his curiosity most was the earth-shaking secret buried deep within the Divine Sanctuary for untold ages.
Inside the crystal Moonshine Hall—
Beyoncé was draped in starlight. A holy seal rested between her brows, and ribbons of starlight circled her body, making her seem like a goddess who held dominion over endless galaxies.
There was no trace left of that gluttonous, adorably foolish little girl she had once been.
Josephine, Gloria, Natasha, Belinda, and the others all appeared one after another, watching her with unabashed curiosity.
They had long known that Beyoncé was the Stellar Saint-Emperor.
Outside the Divine Sanctuary, even Kaos, far away in the deepest reaches of the void, sensed the change, and a strange glimmer passed through his dark eyes.
Buzz—!
A towering figure descended from the heavens.
“Your Majesty! Sacred blessings!”
Everyone immediately bowed in respectful salute.
Aurek nodded, his gaze settling calmly upon Beyoncé.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Beyoncé bowed as well.
After passing through nirvanic rebirth, she had stepped in one leap into the quasi-Eternal Sage rank.
But before Aurek, such a rank was hardly worth mentioning.
“At ease,” Aurek said calmly.
“Now that you have been reborn, the truth behind that matter should also come to light.”
Beyoncé understood at once. Without avoiding the presence of Josephine and the others, she said directly,
“Your Majesty, please come to the Supreme Sanctuary.”
Aurek said nothing more. Space twisted abruptly, sweeping Beyoncé into it, and in the next instant the two of them arrived within the Supreme Sanctuary.
At the same time, an invisible force quietly enveloped Josephine, Belinda, and the other imperial consorts.
Whatever blessing or disaster might lie hidden within the supreme secret buried deep in the imperial harem, until it was fully revealed, it remained a great risk to Aurek.
After all, this was the core of his divine kingdom, tied to the safety of his loved ones and even to the children yet unborn.
Not the slightest mistake could be permitted.
Josephine and the others also became fully alert, their focus sharpened to the utmost.
Beyoncé slowly said, “According to the decree of that supreme Divine Empress, this Supreme Sanctuary is the central nexus, and also the vital point of the activation key.”
The moment those words left her lips, the starlight circling her body suddenly tore apart her radiant garments.
Lines of incomparably mysterious patterns emerged, flowing upward along her skin before finally converging between her brows.
As the holy seal at her forehead blazed with brilliance, hundreds of millions of streams of light burst forth from it in an endless torrent.
These streams shot out of the Supreme Sanctuary and spread like a tidal wave toward the crystal Moonshine Hall.
Aurek’s expression darkened. His mind power locked firmly onto the path of every single stream of light.
At that moment, the countless streams suddenly split apart, transforming into innumerable filaments that spread outward through the crystal Moonshine Hall.
They shot toward every single temple within the twelve layers of Aetherian Sanctuary, sinking into them in the blink of an eye.
In the next instant, countless temples began to tremble violently, projecting a scene of an incomparably vast starfield.
Within that vision, a blue-gold crystal tore through the heavens, carrying endless fortune as it flew straight toward the crystal Moonshine Hall of the twelve-layered Aetherian Sanctuary.
At the same time, every palace within the crystal Moonshine Hall projected its own starfield vision, and from each of them flew a blue-gold crystal of its own.
All of those countless blue-gold crystals flew into the Supreme Sanctuary.
They rapidly fused together, forming a complete set of sacred armor, which then swiftly shrank in size.
A supreme aura spread outward like a storm.
Aurek felt no pressure whatsoever, but Beyoncé was crushed to her knees by that overwhelming presence.
A wisp of supreme aura leaked out from the Gold Giant Gate.
Within the Celestial Light God Realm, countless living beings instantly fell prostrate.
Then came the Eastern Starfield, the Starry Sky of Myriad Races, the endless Starlight Isles, the Primordial River Cosmos…
The pressure spread outward like ripples in water until it covered the entire endless Star Sea.
All living beings were forced flat against the ground beneath that supreme and exalted aura.
Even the Godtouched legions, numbering in the tens of millions, were no exception.
Only the sacred stele at the bottom of the river beneath Sacredwood Settlement—already on the verge of collapse—seemed to sense something, unleashing burst after burst of golden light.
Inside the Supreme Sanctuary—
Aurek had no time to concern himself with the changes outside.
That assembled black-gold sacred armor suddenly descended toward him, and even with his strength, he was unable to resist it.
The armor wrapped around him completely, sealing him so tightly that even his eyes were covered.
He looked like a statue frozen within ancient eternal ice.
Most incredible of all, not even his ever-reliable dimensional sight activated on its own.
The first layer of armor had only just settled over him when the remaining blue-gold crystals rapidly assembled into a second, identical set of sacred armor.
With a thunderous boom, it descended and covered Aurek once more!
Yet the first set of armor silently melted into his skin like ice crystals dissolving into water.
The process continued again and again, unceasing, until half an hour later, when every last blue-gold crystal had merged into his body.
The ancient sacred scriptures engraved upon the pillars of the Supreme Sanctuary began to circulate, transforming into profound and mysterious runes that fused with Aurek as one.
An invisible force dragged him into a starfield built entirely from blue-gold crystals, as though it intended to imprison him there forever.
Aurek’s expression turned cold and severe as he condensed a sacred sword in his hand.
With a single slash, he shattered the blue-gold crystal nearest to him.
Yet to his astonishment, every time he shattered one of those blue-gold crystals, his own power grew stronger by a fraction.
At the same time, his comprehension of the universe’s source profundities, of fate, of the imperial path, and of the ultimate principles of all things became increasingly clear and transparent.
“These blue-gold crystals actually contain the power of source profundities and the insights of mental cultivation. Every single one is a supreme inheritance!”
“So this… is the secret hidden deep within the Divine Sanctuary.”
Aurek could not help but feel shaken to his core.
