Chapter 1465: Chapter 1422: Where Power Extends, There Lies the Domain Chapter 1465: Chapter 1422: Where Power Extends, There Lies the Domain Flesh and blood vanished rapidly in the midst of the golden energy torrent, but the power representing the world’s origin was harnessed. Thus, the obliterated flesh and blood almost instantly regrew, only to be worn away again shortly thereafter.

Destruction and regeneration, two opposing forces, were repeated countless times within a brief period. This signified a being, capable of freely roaming the Void, struggling in the face of a threat to its very existence.

Such a struggle was not in vain. The most ferocious damage from the inexplicable attacks from the greater world was blocked by the nest she had cultivated all her life, though the Mother Nest was wiped out and collapsed, she herself still remained.

This gave the Insect Race Empress of the Dream Palace time to resist, react, and struggle. Hence, she sent out a distress signal to her more powerful kin.

“Save me!” her own perilous situation rendered her unable to send out a more complex message, but these two short words said it all.

The Void seemed to pause for an instant, and then, in the next moment, an overwhelming surge of Epic Power tore through the Void, slamming into the golden energy torrent that was eroding the Dream Palace Empress.

Boom!

A massive explosion occurred, with the Dream Palace Empress’s location as the epicenter, nearly a million kilometers of the surrounding Void was enveloped by a chaotic and disorderly energy storm, prohibiting the existence of creatures.

Aside from this revenge-seeking Empress and her accompanying Mother Nest, there had been no sign of life in this area before this moment.

“…”

Sensing the assistance from the outside, the Dream Palace Empress’s countenance brightened with relief, wanting to say something, but in the next instant, another oncoming golden energy torrent shattered her hopes, plunging her spirits into the Abyss.

“Aren’t you going to come help quickly? The Dream Palace is about to give out.”

From within the torn rift of the Void Space, an impatient and irritable roar echoed. The usual grudges and hatred could be temporarily put aside, even cast away, when facing the downfall of one’s own kin.

“Damn fool Dream Palace, what powerful enemy have you provoked this time?”

Accompanied by a complaining voice, several forces tore through the Void, crossing vast distances to support their kin, helping her survive the attack of a fearsome entity.

“I don’t know!”

The pressure on her lightened somewhat with the help of her kin, and the Dream Palace spoke with a mix of confusion and innocence, but her heart felt somewhat guilty because she had an inkling of the answer.

“Heh, who did you provoke? Don’t you have any idea? Didn’t you come to us for a discussion not so long ago?”

“Enough, this isn’t the time for that, let’s rescue her first.”

From within the largest rift in the Void Space, a colossal celestial body slowly transitioned in. Then, a huge limb reached out, attempting to pull the Menggong Empress out of the raging energy storm.

Zing~
But at almost the same moment, a golden Sword Qi swept across ten thousand miles, its edge gleaming in the dark Void, directly slicing off the supporting Empress’s limb and even leaving an exceedingly deep Sword Mark on the Mother Nest’s body.

“If you dare to make another move, I will slay you all as well.”

A voice, devoid of any delight or anger, resonated in the Void, accompanied by a brilliant radiance and the intricate interweaving of laws, forming the shadow of a colossal figure tens of thousands of meters tall.

“Muria!”

The Dream Palace Empress, struggling within the energy torrent, recognized the figure’s silhouette at a glance and called out a name etched in her memory for a long time. With it came immense confusion and deep-seated fear.

What puzzled her was that the entity before her, without even showing its true form, displayed a terrifying aura that was nothing like the young lad she knew.

There was an essential difference between the two, the most direct being their combat strength. The Muria of the past, even when exerting her full might, was no match for her.

Had it not been for the suppression by elders and deterrence by higher powers, it was very likely that Muria would have fallen by her hand back then. And yet, even so, Muria was extremely hard-pressed when facing her.

Weapons, armor, and even her body were all shattered and had to be painfully reconstituted. The battle ended only because of an even stronger force intervening.

But now, everything was different. A single strike, launched from who knows how far away, had destroyed her Mother Nest, and almost obliterated her existence as well.

Had it not been for the support of her kin, the words ‘almost’ might have been unnecessary. And the second strike that followed left her and several of her kind struggling to cope.

Just as her kin were attempting to escort her away, they were nearly slain by a sword, almost following in her footsteps. And the reason they weren’t slain wasn’t because the entity lacked the power, but because that sword was merely a warning.

What a terrifying existence, so far removed from the one she remembered. They were entirely different beings, sharing only the same face and appearance, yet the intuition of an empress told her it was the same person.

Baffling, unbelievable. Although it didn’t make sense, the facts spoke for themselves. She had been attacked by this being, who had shown a resolute determination to kill her.

“Mighty god, we have no intention to offend your dignity, but please do not take us lightly. I must remind you, those you seek to slay… are from our tribe…”

As the Dream Palace Empress was just recovering from her doubts and shock, she heard her kin’s response to the inconceivable entity’s reprimand.

The response sounded tough, showing no sign of weakness, yet it was easy to perceive an undercurrent of desperation.

“I don’t care what kind of being you are, or how strong your origins are, anyone who dares to pry into my world must die!”

Even when only presenting a simple projection, Muria replied with utmost firmness, regardless of facing an entity from the Epics who moved freely through the Void. In this airspace, it was Her domain, and Her word was law.

Her ruled Domain’s frontiers extended far beyond the World Barriers; her sovereignty reached any region touched by the power of the world.

“…” The Empresses fell silent, their hearts filled with indescribable discomfort, finally realizing why the Dream Palace had suffered such a calamity—it was all self-inflicted by this individual.

“Please quell your anger for now. The Dream Palace truly did not mean to challenge your majesty; all her actions were unintentional. We are willing to offer compensation for her mistakes!”
