Chapter 903: The Start of War - 903
The first monster ran upwards, leaving the beast alliance territory entirely.
He avoided everything, from planets and stars to floating houses and debris. He left nothing up to chance. This time, it seemed he had gotten away. He manipulated the space around him to form a sort of shield from the outside world. He did not leave that to chance either, making it small and compacted so that it didn't risk even the smallest of possibilities. His power could control every single fiber of it.
He stayed there without leaving, and that seemed to cause the streak of bad luck to end, for now. If that Luck Sovereign clan member were to look for him, he would not stay hidden for long.
He needed to do something about this. The only thing he could think of was breaking into the Domain Immortal realm. There, he could condense an Immortal Domain and his power would soar. Below the Sovereigns, he would be unmatched.
And if the Sovereigns strength were overstated, he could even be a match for them.
Still, he knew how impossible it was to bridge the Immortal Lord realm as a Domain Immortal realm cultivator. That was still assuming the Sovereigns were only Immortal Lords.
The first monster began to cultivate, and was surprised when he hadn't been found even as a Sage Year had passed. He was unaware of the report the assassin had given back.
"Overwhelmingly dangerous? Not much in the Sovereign Tree could so much as scratch him? So that being was stronger than he looked." The Luck Sovereign clan member that had talked to the first monster said.
In front of him was the assassin.
"I don't wish to go after him again. If he gets fed up and decides to attack, I won't survive. It won't be a matter of luck at all, just him crushing me."
"Fine. He can be ignored for now. But if he enters the Domain Immortal realm, he won't be allowed to stay in the Sovereign Tree without being connected to a Sovereign. He'll have to decide his path then."
The first monster cultivated and cultivated as Sage Years passed. He would take the matters of the Sovereigns into his own hands.
The first human was surely resisting somehow, and the first beast was still within the Beast alliance. All three of them could take different angles.
The Sovereign Tree was peaceful on the surface, but below the surface was toiling waves.
There had been hundreds of revolts throughout the history of the Sovereign Tree. None had succeeded. At first, the Sovereigns and the Sovereign clans had taken this with the utmost importance, trying their best to prevent such a thing from happening again.
But after a few more times, they realized it was impossible to stop it from occurring. So they embraced it. They allowed it to happen, understanding that this event was similar to an animal defecating. It had to get the bad out of it so that it could run smoother. It was like a cleansing of impurities.
It took the first monster many, many Sage Years, but he finally broke through to the Domain Immortal realm. It was a silent breakthrough, but it signified much for him. He could now truly resist.
He left his hiding spot and moved towards the Beast alliance.
There, he saw the first beast and the old man. Now, he could tell the old man was a Domain Immortal. The first beast was close to becoming one.
"Welcome back. I see your growth has progressed tremendously." The old man said.
"Indeed it has."
"When he breaks through, we can attempt another revolt." The old man said.
"Not quite. There is someone else we need."
"Who is that?" The old man asked in confusion. He had known the first beast and the first monster for countless years, but they had never mentioned something like this.
"A human." The first beast said. "You could think of him like our brother."
"I see. Then when you break through, we will find him."
"That is unnecessary. When we start, he will come. I am sure of it." The first beast said. "I just want to wait another Sage Year or two before starting just to make sure he has broken through. In that time, you can gather up any other forces there are." The first beast said.
The old man nodded. "If you insist."
In two Sage Years, the first beast broke through, entering the Domain Immortal realm. His Immortal Domain was filled with images of beasts, as well as a feeling of power, like an ox charging on someone.
Even the old man said it was very good.
The first monster didn't show them his domain, and they didn't ask.
Two Sage Years later, they were ready. The first beast and the first monster stood side by side. The old man was elsewhere, leading other members of the resistance.
They were the leaders of it, but they would not be the only ones fighting.
The first beast was the first to take action. His Immortal Domain ripped through parts of the Sovereign Tree, causing a great disturbance. He directly launched attacks on the six domains of the Sovereign Clans.
This was a bold move, even compared to resistance's of the past. Many had started the all out war in a more subtle way.
The entire Sovereign Tree shook as more than ten Domain Immortals appeared near the first beast. Without a word, their combined strength pushed down on him, sending him flying back.
The first monster stopped his descent and shot up, bringing the first beast with him.
He held a sword, a unique form of swordsmanship being displayed as eight tentacles whipped around. The first beast and the first monster's combined strength was enough to hold these ten back temporarily.
From another location, five Domain Immortals shot up and began to attack the domains of the Sovereign clans, which were now empty of Domain Immortals.
All except the Karma Sovereign Clan.
A single spiral tore through a Domain Immortal, killing him instantly, as a female wolf appeared.
This was the daughter of the Karma Sovereign.
