Chapter 390: Ch 390: Sage Era Cultivation Tournament (2)

In her search, Elysia separated her essence and created countless clones—some weak, some powerful—and sent them into nearly every known Cosmic Field in this Vast Expanse of Eternity. Emrys was not the only one she chose and trained, but without a doubt, he is the most unique... and the most powerful among them.

She knows several of Emrys’s skills, including the abilities granted by his Aura of Brilliance. After all, this was all obtained by him after entering the fragmented Cosmic World. It was she who sent him there, and she had kept an eye on him most of the time.

Moreover, she had also given him her mark, the Mark of Nightshade that Emrys had never used. The Mark of Nightshade can be said to be Emrys’s opportunity, and he can freely use it during the tournament.

Other than that, she had seen Emrys’s transformation. She knew Emrys was no longer a pure human. It is just that she found it impossible to recognize his race. Moreover, she had always sensed a very unique aura around Emrys. It was as if he didn’t belong to this omniverse at all.

Anyways, in her eyes, Emrys was the most qualified and had a very high chance of becoming the champion of this tournament.

.....

Emrys used the Eternal Token to enter the Eternal Paradise once again. This was his second time there, but this time, he was far stronger than when he had first stepped into this sacred place.

The place where he appeared was different from before. This time, he appeared atop a vast floating platform suspended in a sky of swirling gold and white light. Beneath him, countless floating islands stretched as far as the eye could see, each radiating an aura of ancient power.

Surprisingly, divine chants were echoing faintly in the air here, and sacred runes could be seen drifting gently like snowflakes.

He was not alone; billions of people could be seen in every direction. Emrys spent a few minutes gathering information and quickly learned that time held no true meaning in this place. Regardless of who entered the Eternal Paradise or when they entered, as long as they were at and below the Ninth-level Origin Sovereign Realm, everyone would appear on the platform at the same synchronized interval of every fifteen minutes.

Since time had no fixed flow here, attempting to measure it was meaningless. However, some people had still tried to estimate the duration based on these intervals and concluded that this mysterious phenomenon had likely begun about a month ago. There were a total of 3,600 such massive platforms, each capable of accommodating billions of people, and by now, every one of them was completely filled.

Emrys didn’t know how long he and others waited, but then, the sky changed one day, and a divine voice echoed, announcing the beginning of the Sage Era Cultivation Tournament. During the announcement, that voice also explained a few things about many eternities and Inked Tale Omniverse, as well as about the final reward.

Finally, the voice explained the rules of the tournament, and the tournament officially started.

The tournament continued for the next 1000 years.

During the Sage Era Cultivation Tournament, Emrys faced dangers far beyond anything he had encountered before. The tournament was not a simple battle of strength or talent; it was simply a crucible forged to test the limits of will, wisdom, spirit, soul, body, and strength. Each stage of the tournament was a different world in itself, crafted by the Eternal Paradise, containing unique laws, deadly environments, and dangers from across the Inked Tale Omniverse.

From the very beginning, Emrys found himself standing against monstrous geniuses from countless Eternities. Some could wield time like a blade, others could summon the will of entire worlds. He even fought creatures born from divine flames, shadowy specters that devoured souls, abyssals, hollows, and entities such as Ghostflame Beasts strong enough to burn Origin Sovereigns to ashes, creatures whose every strike could be a part of Eternity itself, and more. In this tournament, there were also stages of survival within collapsing dimensions, races through cosmic storms that tore apart even soul bodies, and puzzles that could trap one’s mind in eternal loops.

Emrys faced all dangers and emerged victorious every time. Several times, even with his strength, he almost died.

Yes, he does have many unique abilities; however, there were too many people in the tournament with abilities unique to themselves and powerful enough to rival several of Emrys’s skills.

During the tournament, Emrys’s greatest strength was still his self-created cultivation method: ⟪Silent Devourer of All Paths⟫.

With the help of this cultivation method, he devoured almost everything to strengthen himself.

Yes, everything, and it’s because he entered the state of enlightenment many times during the tournament and evolved ⟪Silent Devourer of All Paths⟫ several times.

It took him a thousand years to directly surpass the Origin Sovereign Realm and reach the Ninth-Level Realm Transcendent in the Myriad Cultivation Path. In terms of Soul Cultivation, he advanced beyond the Abyssal Void Soul Master stage and became a Ninth-Level Eternal Radiance Soul Master. As for his Cosmic Cultivation, he transcended the Supreme King of Eternity and attained the level of Ninth-Level Supreme Sovereign of Eternity.

Throughout this entire period, Emrys maintained perfect balance across all his cultivation paths, ensuring they progressed in unison.

However, even though all three paths were at the same level, his Soul Cultivation and Cosmic Cultivation were significantly more powerful than his Myriad Cultivation Path.

Not only that, he also unlocked his racial talent called Primordial Echo and Ecliptic Seal. These two talents were dormant before, but as his cultivation advanced, these two talents got unlocked.

Now, the only dormant racial talent was Primordial Descent.

As for his Timeless Enlightenment Body and Bloodline, they increased from 50% to 80%. All his authorities increased from Level 3 to Level 6.

Even his Soul Mark, Tree of Origin, awakened another Omni skill called Omni Erasure. This skill is simply too terrifying. It can simply erase any concept, memories, entity, law from all eternities, even eternity itself. It’s just that he needs to become powerful enough to withstand the execution of this skill to erase an Eternity.
