The heavens cracked apart completely.
Massive silver gates slowly opened above the world while violent storms twisted endlessly around the descending figure hidden behind countless chains. The pressure spreading from the Heavenly Executor alone caused the atmosphere of the entire planet to distort continuously.
Millions of humans collapsed in terror.
Some screamed.
Some prayed.
Others simply stared at the sky in hopeless fear.
Because instinctively—
Everyone understood something.
If that thing fully descended…
The mortal world would not survive.
High above the rooftop, the Observer's giant silver eye remained fixed directly on Su Chen while silver lightning illuminated the heavens endlessly.
"The Primordial anomaly will now be erased."
BOOM.
The gates opened wider.
And the Heavenly Executor finally stepped forward.
The world trembled violently.
Its body was gigantic, towering beyond the clouds themselves while ancient silver armor covered every part of its form. Countless heavenly chains wrapped around its limbs, each chain carrying enough pressure to crush mountains.
Its silver eyes slowly opened.
Emotionless.
Cold.
Divine.
The moment its gaze swept across the mortal world—
Entire oceans erupted violently.
Volcanoes awakened.
Spiritual energy throughout the planet descended into chaos.
Inside hidden cultivation territories, ancient experts coughed blood simply from sensing the Executor's existence.
Xu Mingshan's face had completely lost color.
"…That's not something the mortal world can fight."
Yan Ruoxue narrowed her crimson eyes while blood flames erupted around her body uncontrollably under the pressure.
"It's suppressing the laws of the lower realm itself."
Even Zhao Ren, who normally joked through danger, remained silent now.
Because for the first time—
Everyone truly felt death approaching.
Yet Su Chen still stood calmly at the front of the rooftop.
Golden light flickered beneath his skin while the black ring on his finger pulsed continuously. The ancient formation beneath his feet glowed brighter with every second the Heavenly Executor descended.
The synchronization voice echoed again.
Primordial synchronization: 93%
Emergency evolution initiated.
Ancient authority adapting to heavenly suppression.
Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Executor raised one enormous hand slowly toward the city.
Then—
It pressed downward.
BOOM.
The sky itself collapsed.
A giant silver palm formed across the heavens, descending toward the city with enough force to erase millions instantly.
The attack hadn't even landed yet—
But buildings across the district were already collapsing from the pressure alone.
People screamed below while military helicopters exploded midair unable to withstand the spiritual force.
Xu Mingshan immediately roared.
"Protect the civilians!"
His Spirit Transformation aura erupted violently as he flew upward toward the descending palm.
Yan Ruoxue moved beside him instantly.
Crimson flames and silver spiritual energy exploded together against the heavenly pressure.
But the moment their attacks touched the giant palm—
They shattered instantly.
Both were blasted backward violently.
BOOM.
Xu Mingshan crashed through three skyscrapers before stopping himself.
Yan Ruoxue coughed blood while sliding across the rooftop.
Their expressions turned pale.
The gap was too large.
Even Spirit Transformation cultivators were insignificant before a true heavenly entity.
The giant palm continued descending.
Closer.
Closer.
Lin Yanyan's face remained calm despite the overwhelming pressure crushing the rooftop beneath them.
Yet her fingers quietly tightened around Su Chen's sleeve.
Not from fear.
From refusal.
Refusal to lose him.
The city below had already descended into complete despair.
People ran desperately through collapsing streets while emergency broadcasts screamed evacuation orders that no longer mattered.
Because no one could outrun heaven.
Then suddenly—
Su Chen moved.
One step forward.
BOOM.
The rooftop shattered beneath his feet instantly.
Golden light exploded from his body like a rising sun while ancient symbols spread across the sky itself.
And behind him—
The phantom throne appeared again.
Larger this time.
Clearer.
The silhouette seated upon it slowly became visible through endless golden light.
Ancient black robes.
Golden eyes.
A crown forged from stars themselves.
The Primordial Emperor Phantom had appeared again.
The moment the phantom opened its eyes—
The descending heavenly palm trembled.
For the first time—
The Heavenly Executor reacted.
Its emotionless silver gaze locked onto the throne phantom directly.
Then suddenly—
The Executor stopped descending entirely.
Silence filled the heavens.
The Observer's voice turned colder.
"Impossible."
Golden chains erupted behind Su Chen endlessly while ancient authority spread throughout the sky.
Then the phantom behind him slowly raised one finger.
Not even toward the Executor.
Toward the heavens themselves.
And Su Chen spoke simultaneously with the phantom.
Their voices overlapped.
Ancient.
Dominating.
Absolute.
"You dare lower your hand before your ruler?"
BOOM.
The world exploded with pressure.
The giant silver palm shattered instantly.
Not cracked.
Not damaged.
Erased.
The shockwave tore through the heavens themselves.
Even the giant silver gates trembled violently.
The Heavenly Executor took one step backward.
One step.
Yet that single movement froze every hidden cultivator on Earth in horror.
Because heaven…
Had retreated.
The Observer's silver eye contracted sharply.
Then suddenly—
The Heavenly Executor roared.
For the first time since descending—
Emotion appeared.
Rage.
Silver chains exploded outward across the sky while heavenly law symbols burned around its enormous body.
The Executor was attacking personally now.
It raised both hands.
And the heavens opened completely behind it.
Countless silver spears appeared above the world.
Thousands.
Millions.
Every spear carried enough force to destroy entire cities.
Humanity stared upward in despair.
This was no longer war.
This was extermination.
Xu Mingshan's voice turned hoarse.
"…It's trying to wipe out the entire planet."
Yan Ruoxue's crimson eyes widened slightly.
Even she hadn't expected heaven to react this violently.
But Su Chen simply stared upward calmly.
Then—
The black ring on his finger cracked slightly.
A deep golden light emerged from within it.
And an ancient voice echoed across Su Chen's soul.
"The throne awaits its master."
The synchronization surged violently.
Primordial synchronization: 95%
Then suddenly—
A massive golden gate began rising behind Su Chen.
Far larger than the heavenly gates.
Ancient beyond comprehension.
And the moment it appeared—
The Heavenly Executor froze completely.
Because engraved upon that gate…
Was the symbol of the Ancient Court.
