Chapter 459: Chapter459-The Real Show Begins

Valen smiled and said, "If he weren’t confident in his chances, there’s no way he would have stayed there."

"So what we’re about to witness should be the real show. And this time, it’ll most likely be Tarlon, a Sovereign-rank powerhouse, going up against that peak High God."

The girl immediately looked troubled upon hearing that.

"Now that you put it that way, I don’t even dare jump to conclusions anymore. I can’t confidently say that mysterious powerhouse is weaker than Tarlon."

"Who knows? Maybe we really are about to witness a peak High God defeat and kill a Sovereign-rank powerhouse despite the difference in realm."

Meanwhile, somewhere within the vast universe—

At the headquarters of the Tarlon Covenant.

A burly middle-aged man hovered silently in midair.

There was not the slightest trace of Law energy around him.

His eyes were closed, as though he were deep in cultivation.

Yet in the next instant, he suddenly sensed something.

His head turned slightly toward the Forbidden Zone.

His eyes snapped open.

Within those eyes, countless Laws seemed to circulate endlessly.

"What is going on?!"

"Someone actually dares to make a move inside the Forbidden Zone? In my, Tarlon’s, territory?"

Tarlon roared in fury.

"It seems my previous warnings were far too gentle. They’ve made certain people think I’m easy to bully."

This man was none other than the true founder of the Tarlon Covenant—

Sovereign Tarlon!

The perception of a Sovereign was terrifying beyond imagination.

Forget a mere distance of tens of thousands of miles.

Even from billions of light-years away, they could easily sense something as insignificant as the direction in which an ant crawled across the ground.

Some particularly powerful Sovereign-rank beings were even more terrifying.

Merely whispering their names could attract their awareness from across countless layers of the universe.

And at this moment, Sovereign Tarlon had demonstrated exactly such terrifying perception.

He could clearly sense an obvious fluctuation of Laws coming from within the Forbidden Zone.

He caught it almost instantly.

"Most likely, it was a Law fluctuation released by some treasure."

However, Sovereign Tarlon did not immediately make a move.

The moment he sensed that fluctuation, he began carefully analyzing it.

After all, throughout the boundless cosmos, High Gods were as numerous as ants and as countless as fish crossing a river.

Yet Sovereign-rank powerhouses were exceedingly rare.

The reason was simple.

Every Sovereign had carved their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Possessing exceptional talent, extraordinary opportunities, and a powerful background did not guarantee that one could cross the enormous threshold into the Sovereign rank.

Throughout the endless river of space and time, countless peerless geniuses had fallen before they ever had the chance to mature.

They had died young.

Their full potential had never even had the chance to bloom.

Thus, those who ultimately became Sovereigns required more than talent, opportunities, and background.

They also needed the ability to survive long enough to reach that height.

That was why Sovereign-rank powerhouses were usually extremely cautious.

Such caution had long since become instinct.

Sovereign Tarlon did not act rashly.

Instead, he first used his Sovereign-rank power to investigate the abnormalities inside the Forbidden Zone.

"That Law fluctuation was indeed released by a treasure."

"And the treasure only appeared for an extremely short time before vanishing."

A faint smile appeared on Sovereign Tarlon’s face.

"Even so, I managed to sense the true nature of that Law..."

"It was a Space-Time treasure."

Space-Time Law stood among the highest and most profound Laws in the entire cosmos.

The Will of the Universe gave birth to One.

One gave birth to Two.

Two gave birth to Three.

And Three gave birth to all things.

The "One" could be called Space-Time Law.

The "Two" could be called the Law of Time and Spatial Law.

As for the "Three," they were the Primordial Laws derived from Space-Time Law—

such as the Law of Creation, the Law of Fate, and the Law of Reincarnation.

Even the Will of the Universe itself was born from Space-Time Law.

That alone showed just how rare and profound Space-Time Law truly was.

A trace of greed immediately appeared in Sovereign Tarlon’s eyes.

There was no need to explain how rare Space-Time treasures were.

Most treasures related to space and time circulated only within the hands of truly supreme factions.

Organizations such as the Skyvault Consortium, the Tower of Myriad Treasures, Evernight Palace, the Abode of Eternal Night, and the Demon King Council—

all of them were top-tier powers with Sovereign-rank beings overseeing them.

Only after reaching the Sovereign rank could one truly reach the state where mastery of one Law illuminated all others.

At that level, Sovereigns could trace Primordial Laws and acquired Laws back to their source, ultimately returning them all to Space-Time Law.

An existence like Sovereign Tarlon naturally possessed a few Space-Time treasures himself.

However, they were all auxiliary treasures.

For example, cultivation chambers capable of adjusting the flow of time.

Or starry dragon ships used to voyage through the cosmos.

Useful, certainly.

But their practical value in battle was extremely limited.

As for offensive Space-Time Treasures designed specifically for combat—

he did not possess a single one.

Space-Time Treasures were already extraordinarily rare to begin with.

Among them, the most valuable were precisely those meant for attack and slaughter.

Even within the great factions, such offensive treasures were fought over fiercely.

Who would willingly allow such treasures to circulate outside?

Even though Tarlon was a Sovereign, he had never been able to obtain one.

So when he first sensed that a Space-Time Law treasure had appeared within the Forbidden Zone—

and that it seemed to possess offensive capabilities—

even he could not suppress the greed rising in his heart.

"If the one who acted were a Sovereign..."

"I would definitely have sensed the presence of someone at the same level as me."

"In other words, whoever made that move cannot be a Sovereign."

"They must be below the Sovereign rank."

At that thought, the smile on Sovereign Tarlon’s face grew even wider.

A Sovereign facing someone below the Sovereign rank—

the difference was almost like a High God facing someone below the High God level.

Below the High God rank, all were ants.

Likewise, one could say—

below the Sovereign rank, all were ants.

At the very least, on paper, Sovereign-rank powerhouses possessed an overwhelming advantage over High Gods.

Nor was Sovereign Tarlon worried that the mysterious powerhouse would escape.

A Sovereign possessed both the strength and the confidence to prevent such a thing.

But at that moment—

another abnormality erupted from within the Forbidden Zone!

This time, Sovereign Tarlon sensed it as well.

However...

this disturbance was exceedingly strange.

"What’s going on?"

"I can sense that the Laws inside the Forbidden Zone have become unstable."

"The Laws there were originally perfectly ordered, yet now they’ve been thrown into complete chaos."

"It’s as though an invisible hand has grabbed neatly arranged cables and twisted them together into a tangled mess, causing the entire Forbidden Zone to undergo some enormous change!"

Sovereign Tarlon’s expression finally shifted.

The Forbidden Zone continuously supplied the Tarlon Covenant with a stable stream of resources.

It was one of the Covenant’s few truly top-tier sources of wealth.

If anything happened to the Forbidden Zone—

if it were damaged or destroyed—

the Tarlon Covenant would suffer a devastating blow.

Sovereign Tarlon was just about to rise when another change occurred.

"Hm?"

"It’s the Ianser Beast!"

"The Ianser Beast normally stays inside the Forbidden Zone. It must have sensed the chaos in the Laws and been forced to reveal itself."

But the next moment, Sovereign Tarlon’s expression changed once again.

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"The Ianser Beast’s aura has disappeared!"

"Even its life force is gone!"

"It was suppressed and killed!"

"Who exactly is making a move in there?"

"They’re quite capable."

Sovereign Tarlon was surprised.

After sensing the disappearance of the Ianser Beast, he thought to himself,

"Even a peak High God-level Ianser Beast was suppressed."

There were naturally enormous differences in strength even among peak High Gods.

The Ianser Beast belonged to the exceptionally powerful category.

Yet its life force had vanished in such a short period of time.

That alone proved that the person who had acted possessed extraordinary strength.

And then—

Sovereign Tarlon suddenly heard the enraged roar of Oren God King.

Immediately afterward, Oren God King appeared.

He had actually come in person!
