Chapter 321: Chapter321-Victory
John silently assessed the situation.
If he had to face the peak God King of the Myriad Races alone, protecting himself would not be difficult. However, killing the other party instantly would be another matter entirely.
A God King possessed a far deeper comprehension of laws. Defeating one was easy, but killing one was exceedingly difficult.
Just as the God King of the Myriad Races attempted to break free from Starsea Sovereign’s suppression—
The golden rune suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
Whoosh!
It rapidly shrank to the size of a palm before sinking directly into the God King’s forehead.
The God King’s body abruptly stiffened and became completely motionless. A savage expression of struggle remained frozen on his face.
"God King of the Myriad Races, the Wheel of Fate has turned, and today marks your destined destruction."
Starsea Sovereign’s voice rang out, his tone calm and indifferent.
"Today, I shall send you to your grave."
The moment his words fell, space rippled slightly, and a silver needle materialized out of thin air.
The needle was as slender as a strand of hair, yet countless patterns depicting the sun, moon, stars, and boundless cosmos were engraved across its surface.
John immediately understood.
This had to be the ultimate weapon Starsea Sovereign intended to use against the God King’s true body.
Whoosh!
The silver needle moved faster than light, instantly piercing the immobilized God King’s body.
Boom!!!
The moment the needle entered him, the God King’s physical body abruptly collapsed and exploded into countless fragments.
A faintly glowing divine soul emerged from the wreckage. It was withered and weak, its face deathly pale.
It was none other than the soul of the God King of the Myriad Races.
At that moment, his expression was filled with horror, as though he could feel the silver needle inflicting fatal damage upon his true body.
"Hm? How is this possible?!"
Starsea Sovereign’s voice came from the distant void, carrying a trace of solemnity.
"John... something is wrong."
John immediately understood what he meant.
With the methods of a Sovereign-rank powerhouse, there was no reason the divine soul of a peak God King should have survived.
Yet the God King’s soul was indeed still present.
Although it was incomparably weak and its aura was rapidly fading, it had not yet disappeared.
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
The God King of the Myriad Races suddenly burst into relieved, unrestrained laughter. His gaze passed across the vast distance and landed upon John.
"Surprised?"
"Sovereign, John... since you wish to destroy the myriad races, I shall make all the heavens and universes accompany me in death!"
"John, you haven’t won—and neither have I lost!"
"Let us all die together!"
"Featherfish Sovereign, do not blame me for disrupting your plans. This world forced me to do it!"
As the God King spoke, his divine soul suddenly twisted and transformed into an entirely different face.
The new face possessed eyes as sharp as blades.
It swept an indifferent glance over John.
The moment that gaze landed upon him, John felt as though an icy wind filled with knives had scraped across every inch of his body in the depths of winter.
What was this?
Another powerful soul had been concealed within the God King’s divine soul.
Judging by the God King’s words, this powerhouse seemed to be called...
Featherfish Sovereign.
After appearing, Featherfish Sovereign did not pursue the matter of the God King’s death. Instead, he frowned and muttered,
"Damn it... it is not time yet!"
"My lord’s plan was actually disrupted by a mere God King. You truly deserved to die."
Those words were directed at the God King of the Myriad Races.
Hearing this, John’s eyes instantly sharpened.
The God King had clearly been hiding some secret conspiracy, and Featherfish Sovereign was deeply involved.
At that moment—
"Featherfish?!"
Starsea Sovereign exclaimed in shock.
"You... you’re still alive?"
"No... weren’t you merely at the peak of the God King level?"
"I personally witnessed you being slain by a Sovereign-rank powerhouse. Your body and soul were completely destroyed!"
"Oh, it’s you, Starsea."
The corners of Featherfish Sovereign’s soul-form curled upward, as though he had only just noticed Starsea Sovereign’s presence.
He spoke calmly.
"I did not die because an existence that had transcended the River of Space-Time retrieved me from its depths and resurrected me."
"My cultivation has now also reached the Sovereign rank."
"I have not fallen far behind you, Starsea. It seems you have not made much progress over the years either."
"Why have you hidden a fragment of your soul inside a God King?" Starsea Sovereign asked solemnly. "What exactly are you planning?"
"What am I planning?"
Featherfish Sovereign smiled.
"An excellent question..."
"Do not be impatient. You will find out soon enough."
"Starsea, for the sake of our past friendship, allow me to give you a warning."
"The Apocalypse Tribulation has arrived."
"Under this coming catastrophe of annihilation, every faction will be destroyed."
"Skyvault Consortium, Eternal Summit—everything will be reduced to ashes..."
"You would be wise to submit to Clover and join Evernight Palace."
"Clover... Evernight Palace?"
Starsea Sovereign asked in astonishment,
"What faction is Evernight Palace? Why have I never heard of it?"
Featherfish Sovereign replied indifferently,
"You should understand that only an exceedingly small number of living beings are fortunate enough to become the protagonists of their eras."
"Those who manage to grow into Sovereign-rank existences like you are even more unimaginably fortunate."
"But what about the countless geniuses who failed?"
"What about those who were trampled beneath the feet of successful existences like you?"
"Are they destined never to receive another opportunity?"
"No. They are not."
"Like me, they have received the favor of my lord."
Fanatical light burned within Featherfish Sovereign’s eyes.
"This time, we failures shall overthrow you so-called victors."
"Starsea..."
"You are all finished!"
"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"
Featherfish Sovereign laughed wildly as his divine soul gradually dimmed.
In the end, it completely collapsed.
The instant his soul dispersed, a single drop of blood remained floating where he had vanished.
At first glance, the blood appeared completely ordinary. Its only unusual feature was its vivid luster, which resembled a crimson gemstone.
At that moment, it was emitting a strange, pale-red radiance.
"No... that drop of blood..."
Starsea Sovereign cried out in alarm.
"It is actually a Supreme-level treasure!"
"And it has already been refined by a Peak Sovereign!"
The alarm in John’s ears caused his mind to jolt.
"A Supreme-level treasure..."
Maintaining his Invincible Body state, he cautiously approached to inspect it.

"Hiss..."
"To think such a vicious item could exist."
"Worldbane Bloodline..."
"It truly lives up to its world-ending name."
