Shadowkin Starfall Isle.

When the shadowkin powerhouses saw a streak of light tearing through the void toward them, they immediately went on guard.

"Blood River Formation—rise!"

Rumble—!

Thousands upon thousands of shadowkin warriors ignited their Immortal Singularities at the same time. Black flames linked together into a sea of fire. Divine Domains unfolded like a canopy across the heavens, and Holy Relics loomed like mountains.

Swish—!

The light revealed Camille’s figure.

One man.

One sword.

"Kill him!"

At the shadowkin powerhouse’s command, Holy Relics and Divine Domains erupted at the same time. Overwhelming Strength came crashing down, suppressing everything beneath it. Space shattered under the terrible pressure, revealing pitch-black spatial rifts.

If an ordinary demi-sage were faced with such might, they would likely have been scared out of their wits, their soul scattered on the spot.

Clang—!

Heavenlight was drawn from its sheath.

A clear sword cry rang through the sky.

"Blood dyes the star river..."

A flush of red rose over Camille’s face. His sword radiance transformed into a towering pillar of light and collided fiercely with the shadowkin Divine Domains and Holy Relics.

Rumble, rumble—!

The sword light split open the Divine Domains and sent the Holy Relics flying.

Wherever the blade passed, it was like a knife cutting through tofu. Layer after layer of the shadowkin formation’s defenses were easily torn apart.

With one sword strike, countless souls perished.

"Peak demi-sage rank!"

A shadowkin powerhouse cried out in shock. The horror on his face quickly twisted into hatred.

"That swordsman is too arrogant! Let’s attack together!"

He signaled desperately to several demi-sage colleagues beside him, his voice filled with killing intent.

Several shadowkin demi-sages attacked at once, each unleashing their own methods. Their Divine Domains overlapped, and Holy Relics flew out together, closing in from all directions to suppress Camille on the spot.

"Break!"

Light flowed over the sword in Camille’s hand. Countless sword beams exploded outward and gathered into a vast sea of swords.

The sea of swords surged like a ten-thousand-meter wave pouring down from the heavens, instantly swallowing those peak demi-sage rank shadowkin powerhouses.

"Ah—! What divine art is this..."

"What terrifying swordsmanship! Man and sword as one, sword and god as one—such astonishing talent!"

"How does he dare take the sword as his god... How is that possible..."

Within the sea of swords, screams rose one after another. The shadowkin demi-sage ranks wailed and fell amid the sword light.

They were all demi-sages. Some among them were even peak demi-sage rank powerhouses.

Yet the difference between one demi-sage and another could still be as vast as heaven and earth.

Several of them had joined forces, but they were all crushed by a single sword strike!

With that one sword, Camille had slain several powerhouses of the same rank.

"Come, you shadowkin trash—"

Camille threw his head back and roared, his voice shaking the land in all directions.

His figure transformed into a streak of light and charged straight into the heart of the shadowkin Starfall Isle.

"Damn it, that swordsman is here! Run!"

"No, he’s too fast... We don’t have time."

"It’s over... We’re finished..."

Sword light erupted inside the Starfall Isle, then vanished, then erupted again.

Terrifying sword radiance ravaged the island, tearing the sturdy star isle into pieces until it was shattered and scattered everywhere.

Countless corpses fell from the sky like raindrops, smashing into the ground and sending up clouds of dust.

Swish—!

Camille sheathed his sword and flew out from the shattered star isle, hovering in the void.

He was drenched in blood from head to toe, yet not a single wound marked his body.

His cold gaze swept across the horizon, as if it could pierce through the world barrier and stab straight into the watching eyes beyond the realm.

"Heh—shadowkin. So that’s all you amount to."

... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"That swordsman... is far from simple."

The Divine-grade powerhouse from the Council of Races glanced at Jack beside him, his tone carrying a hint of admiration.

"His Divine Domain seems somewhat unusual."

Jack raised an eyebrow, a trace of pity appearing in his eyes.

"When his Divine Domain evolved toward the sage rank, he fused himself with his sword. He went astray."

"There is no fixed path to Divine-grade."

The Council of Races powerhouse did not seem to care.

"What nonsense about proper paths and crooked paths? Those are just rules invented by you academy types."

"You don’t understand what I mean."

Jack sneered.

"There is no fixed path to Divine-grade—that part is correct."

"But that swordsman’s mistake is that he had already gone off course while still at the Divine Domain stage. He hasn’t even reached Divine-grade yet, but his road has already forked in the wrong direction."

"Oh? I don’t think that’s necessarily true."

"Then let’s wait and see. Of course, that assumes he survives..."

...

"With that swordsman there, no matter how many powerhouses go in, they’ll just be throwing their lives away."

Among the Starfarer camp, someone growled bitterly.

"If we pay a certain price, there will always be a way to kill him..."

Someone beside him retorted unconvinced.

"And what if we pay a terrible price, only to make wedding clothes for someone else in the end?"

That powerhouse sneered, his gaze drifting toward the pirates.

"For example—those hyenas who specialize in picking up scraps?"

"Sigh..."

The Starfarers all sighed at once.

This beautiful blue planet truly was a rose covered in thorns.

"The native residents of this world are actually this strong!"

A powerhouse from the Whitebone Pirates watched the scene of the shadowkin legion’s destruction, his scalp going numb.

So many shadowkin powerhouses had been cut down by a single sword from that man. That also meant that even if they personally took the field, they would not gain the slightest advantage.

"Steady. Stay steady."

A powerhouse from the Blackwater Pirates waved his hands repeatedly, his voice extremely low.

"Let’s see what happens on the sirenfolk side."

The gazes of all the pirates turned in unison toward the other Starfall Isle.

...

Sirenfolk Starfall Isle.

The atmosphere here was so strange that it nearly made it impossible to breathe.

The sirenfolk powerhouses wore peculiar expressions as they stared fixedly at the figure slowly walking toward the Starfall Isle.

The newcomer was alone, yet he treated the countless sirenfolk powerhouses as if they were nothing. He walked as casually as if he were strolling through his own back garden.

Calm, unhurried, and completely at ease.

"Face the enemy—!"

A sirenfolk powerhouse shouted sharply.

Boom—!

The sirenfolk warriors instantly entered battle mode. Divine Domains spread open, Holy Relics bloomed with light, and terrifying energy surged wildly through the grand formation.

Daniel did not stop walking.

His face remained as calm as a still lake as he continued forward.

The sirenfolk powerhouse felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

He had lived for so many years, yet he had never seen a creature this arrogant.

"Butcher him—!"

He could no longer hold back and let out a furious roar.

The legion warriors behind him cast their Divine Domains over Daniel. Holy Relics came crashing down with earth-shattering Strength.

"Let’s see you keep acting arrogant. Die!"

The sirenfolk powerhouse cursed viciously in his heart.

However, Daniel walked out from within the Divine Domains, completely unharmed!

Not even the corner of his clothes was wrinkled.

"This... How is this possible?"

The sirenfolk powerhouse felt as though he were dreaming.

The dual crushing force of Divine Domains and Holy Relics had not even scratched this person’s skin?

He was clearly only legendary-grade!

"Con... Continue attacking!"

The sirenfolk powerhouse’s voice had already begun to tremble.

Beneath the Divine Domains, the threads of causality around Daniel kept pulsing.

It was not only the Divine Domains. Even the Holy Relics could not touch him.

He seemed to have become an insulator against all harm. Every attack missed by an imperceptible hair’s breadth, yet none of them could ever truly land on him.

At that moment, the thought passing through Daniel’s mind was...

Instantly killing them would indeed let people know that I’m strong.

But they wouldn’t know exactly how strong I am.

To intimidate these starving wolves, I have to make them fear me down to their bones.

Should I be a little more arrogant?

What he did not know was that, within a deeper layer of space, a pair of eyes was staring fixedly at him, the pupils suddenly contracting.

"Fate... Law of Causality..."

Yexis’s heart pounded wildly.

His mission target was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

That was the power of law.

Law!

An existence that stood above all elemental Strength!

"Wait!"

"...Has he already discovered me?"
