Chapter 203: True Soul Sanctuary
Chapter 204: True Soul Sanctuary
Acting on impulse, Yonglan took a deep breath and began to gather the chaotic Spirit Matter that roamed the atmosphere, preparing a massive attack against the Evil Dragons. Since the enemy’s external defenses were so robust and difficult to breach, their souls, he reasoned, would be less meticulously protected.
“Bang—”
With an incredibly crisp explosion, the void in Yonglan’s grasp was torn apart. The Evil Dragons confronting him immediately let out sharp shrieks. However, this level of damage did not immediately draw attention.

Instead, a notification sound reached Yonglan’s ears.
[Destiny: 10 → 12]
[As you have practiced and modified a miraculous technique, you have demonstrated progress on the Path of Destiny, awakening the Talent [True Soul Sanctuary]]
[True Soul Sanctuary]
[All things in the world are constructed from disordered souls and will eventually cease their motion by orderly Sanctuaries.]
[Legend has it that those who have been in contact with souls for a long time, after countless tempering, sublimation, and purification, will transform into True Soul beings. The place that contains the True Soul is the purest Sanctuary, a tool for forging worlds.]
[I will build my kingdom, upon the tip of my heart. All things with spirit shall be my subjects. Within the Sanctuary, I define, I permit, I create and destroy.]
[The way of the world is my way.]
An unexpected bonus!
“Hoo—”
Yonglan was immersed in the sense of sublimation that came with acquiring the Talent. It was different from the feeling when he mastered the Path of Ultimate Art, where a surge of boundless power filled his entire body, as if every muscle and bone was creaking and crackling, his dominance and strength increasing explosibly.
The enhancement from [True Soul Sanctuary] was not reflected in his physical body but in a more ethereal, profound, and distant place.
A dense, stinging sensation spread across his scalp. Amidst the soreness, he felt an incredible sense of freedom, as if his long-bound soul had been liberated at that moment, soaring in the void.
Yonglan subconsciously clutched his head.
It’s so itchy, it feels like my brain is growing.
Yonglan suddenly stopped his rampage and clutched his head, causing the terrified Evil Dragons to regain some semblance of composure.
“What is he doing? A side effect of a secret technique?”
“I knew it! Mortals can’t handle such divine infusion!”
“This is a great opportunity! Now’s the time, we can retreat to the Sky Pillars and wait for my lord’s arrival for support.”
“Retreat? Are you joking? After being so humiliated and tormented, you only think of running away? We need to kill this Godslayer!”
An Evil Dragon snarled, its pride as a dragon deeply wounded by being chased like a stray dog by Yonglan. Now that Yonglan was completely unguarded, what better time to counterattack?
In the blink of an eye, two Evil Dragons immediately turned back and lunged at Yonglan. He appeared completely defenseless, with no stance for blocking or protective Artifices in place.
And in terms of physical strength alone, Evil Dragons were absolutely no less than any other creature!
However, the moment the two Evil Dragons closed in on Yonglan, he opened his eyes.
The instant Yonglan’s gaze fell upon the approaching attackers, the Evil Dragons’ lightning-fast movements froze.
There were no other superfluous actions, just a look. Space rippled, emitting waves that enveloped the dragons’ bodies.
Then, in the next moment, the two Evil Dragons that had attacked Yonglan began to rapidly disintegrate, vanishing into ashes like paper consumed by flames, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“The [Sanctuary]!”
Witnessing this, the well-informed Evil Dragons immediately understood the truth.
“How can a mortal possess a [Sanctuary]? It’s already outrageous that he can even accommodate and utilize Divinity! A mortal forging a Sanctuary, it’s simply inconceivable!”
“Could this Godslayer be closer to Celestial Gods than we Demigods are? No, no… even ordinary Celestial Gods don’t possess a [Sanctuary]?!”
“Absurd! Utterly absurd!”

For the Evil Dragons, the Godslayer forging a Sanctuary before them was even more unacceptable than being killed by a single blow.
That was a [Sanctuary]! A domain that only the chosen among Celestial Gods could forge. In a sense, a physical manifestation of a [Sanctuary] was a divine realm manipulated at the owner’s will. Everything a mortal could imagine could be realized within the [Sanctuary] of a Celestial God’s might.
Although Yonglan was mastering this Talent-based Authority for the first time, his control over power was exceptionally innate. He was able to initially wield the Authority of the [Sanctuary] almost instantaneously.
Where the [Sanctuary] was forged, how could such terrifyingly powerful beings resist? Dammit! What could possibly resist?!
Forget it, just wait for death.
Facing a venerable being who had forged a [Sanctuary], the Evil Dragons knew that all resistance was futile. They despaired and abandoned their escape, awaiting death on the spot.
Yonglan, however, did not immediately press his advantage. Instead, he meticulously studied his newly acquired Talent.
As Yonglan contemplated, a booming thunderous roar echoed from the heavens.
Instantly, accompanied by an unparalleled pressure, the dense cloud layers in the sky were pierced by pale purple starlight. The chaotic gloom that seemed to have never dissipated for thousands of years melted away like snow under the brilliant light.
A resounding dragon’s roar descended like an echo from the ancient wilderness, announcing its arrival to the world below the sky.
Everyone involuntarily looked up at the sky, and they saw an existence so vast it was breathtaking.
Normally, the bodies of Evil Dragons were immense. Ordinary Evil Dragons had magnificent bodies dozens of meters long, and the Evil Dragons that served as mounts were commonly hundreds of meters long. These dragons were astonishingly huge.
However, all these dragons were as small as ants compared to the being coiled in the sky… no, there was no comparison at all.
It was an indescribable, vast magnificence. As they broke through the chaotic gloom, the sky was enveloped by resplendent starlight, sometimes azure, sometimes pale purple, or even crimson and dark silver. They flowed, inhaled, and flickered like surging rivers.
The Dragon Gods themselves were the “incarnations of the sea of stars.” The flowing sea of stars in the sky was the body of the [Dragon God]. To describe the Dragon Gods as vast was an understatement; let alone multiple Dragon Gods, it was clearly a moving galaxy!
“Master… Master, you’ve finally arrived!”
“We held on!”
“Quick, quick! Climb the Sky Pillars, get closer to my lord!”
“Traitors! Your end has come!”
The most excited were the Evil Dragons. They had already given up struggling before the Godslayer who had forged a [Sanctuary]. Now, they scrambled with all their might towards the Sky Pillars, not forgetting to taunt the rebels.
However, they dared not speak rashly to Yonglan and turned to flee.
What a joke. The dawn of victory was within sight. If this Godslayer were to get angry and kill them all, it would be too much of a loss. They couldn’t defeat Celestial Gods, but couldn’t they defeat a group of Demigods like them?
Yonglan did not pursue these Evil Dragons. At this point, the few surviving Evil Dragons could no longer play a crucial role in the battle.
The Godslayer looked up at the starry sky. Above the vast abyss of stars, the eyes of the Dragon Gods cast their gaze upon him.
Then, a deep, heavy, thunderous soul voice transmitted to Yonglan.
“Ha… King of Hram, you have gone back on your word, haven’t you?”
