Chapter 729: Chapter 395 I’m Back (Grand Finale)

In the blink of an eye,

several days passed.

Inside the space-time turbulence.

The world once frozen by the laws of the Frost King showed changes again after several months.

The aura of frost that enveloped the surface of the world gradually dissipated.

It seemed that everything within had settled down to dust.

This activity,

naturally drew a lot of attention.

Scenes from three months ago reappeared.

A multitude of Breakthrough Limit auras appeared at the entrance to the Doomsday world.

Most of them were Breakthrough Limits closely associated with the Frost King.

Gathering here,

was to welcome the Frost King who was about to emerge from seclusion with greatly improved strength.

At the same time, they were curious to see,

just what the so-called Fire Seed of Practice was all about.

At this moment,

the pace at which the frost aura dissipated grew rapidly until it vanished altogether.

The many expectant gazes,

were all focused on the entrance to the world.

However,

as time trickled by.

The Frost King, who should have appeared, was nowhere to be seen.

Even the remaining aura of the Frost King continued to fade away.

What’s going on?

Has the Frost King… already left?

People exchanged glances, puzzlement surfacing in their minds.

But many of them had arrived at the moment the fluctuations appeared and had witnessed the entrance reopening with their own eyes.

Unless the Frost King deliberately concealed his presence, there was no chance of error.

But why… would that be necessary?

Or perhaps, some other mishap had occurred?

“Wait.”

Just then,

someone noticed something amiss.

“This world… is it collapsing?”

As soon as these words were spoken.

With a sweep of their perceptions, everyone realized that this world was indeed collapsing at an extremely slow and almost imperceptible speed.

Worlds that exhibit this kind of phenomenon,

are either subjected to extreme destruction.

Or are drained of their Origin Power by Subordinates.

But why would the Frost King need to do this if he just captured a Starburst Level Practitioner?

The strangeness continued to accumulate.

Finally,

someone could not bear it any longer and suggested entering the Doomsday world to investigate.

As soon as this proposal was put forward,

everyone agreed to follow.

Soon, most of the auras lingering at the entrance entered the Doomsday world.

Passing through the surface space.

The vast universe laid out before everyone’s eyes.

“…”

Despite the utter silence,

everyone’s steps came to a halt.

On their faces, shock was universally displayed.

What met their eyes,

were deformed Star Nebulas.

Fragments of Star Bodies floated everywhere.

Waves of energy and cosmic rays filled every corner, constantly colliding and triggering even greater energies.

These energies rapidly dispersed, sweeping through the entire universe, nullifying all things in existence.

A heavy darkness descended from the depths of the universe, like a behemoth opening its gaping maw determined to devour all within.

This scene,

clearly indicated that this world was enduring forces far beyond its upper limit.

This led the entire universe to enter a state of disintegration and collapse.

“Found it.”

Some were horrified.

Others remained calm as they sensed the universe for the Frost King’s location.

No sooner had they spoken,

the one who sensed it didn’t wait for others to ask, but rushed forward on their own.

The rest closely followed.

Before long,

they found the Frost King on the surface of a planet that was already halfway disintegrated.

To be precise…

they found half of the Frost King’s skull.

The skull was covered with filth, appearing miserably dilapidated.

The remaining part was turning into ice crystals at a visible speed and dissipating into the air.

The Frost King was dead.

If one could say,

that the scene before them was enough to leave them dumbstruck,

then,

the eerie smile on the Frost King’s skull,

and the shifting crimson within the frost aura,

were even more terrifying.

As Breakthrough Limits,

no one could not identify that crimson aura.

If it hadn’t been so faint that they hadn’t noticed it at first,

perhaps more than half of those present would have chosen to turn and flee immediately.

Because this was…

the aura of Subordinates.

————

Above the black mist.

It was time for the Practitioner’s gathering once again.

Delight arrived as usual, ready to share information with Mystery.

But today,

just as he arrived,

he saw an unexpected figure across the round table.

“Hmm?”

Doubt sketched across his expression.

Where Delight’s gaze lay,

Chen Sheng sat with arms crossed and leaning back in his chair.

With closed eyes, as if pondering something.

“You emerged from seclusion so early?”

“Has there been an accident?”

Delight asked.

From their several interactions,

he had guessed that Chen Sheng might possess some method to swiftly Upgrade his Strength regardless of environment and conditions.

And knowing Chen Sheng’s character,

it was unlikely for him to emerge this early without an incident.

“Sort of.”

It wasn’t until the voice came through,

that Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was grave,

his voice slightly deep.

This was the first time Delight had seen him act this way since meeting Chen Sheng.

Could he have encountered something?

He didn’t speak.

Instead, he directed his inquiring eyes at Chen Sheng, quietly awaiting further explanation.

“It’s nothing.”

“I’ll handle it myself.”

Unfortunately,

Chen Sheng shook his head lightly,

seeming unwilling to elaborate further.

“Alright then.”

“As long as you know what you’re doing.”

Delight’s gaze lingered for a moment before he shrugged and didn’t press further.

“You’ve come this time presumably to ask about the investigation, right?”

He effortlessly changed the subject.

Seeing Chen Sheng nod,

he began to share the discoveries he and Mystery had made during this time.

In a matter of minutes,

he had related all the information they had gathered.
