The air above the Flame Frost Continent seemed to freeze.

Emperor Augustus's expression beneath his visor was completely stiff as he stared in utter bewilderment at the magnificent giant that had appeared before him.

Its towering presence seemed to support a world giant in this top-tier, grand plane of existence.

The powerful figures from the Flame Frost Continent, as well as those from all over the Astral Realm who had been watching, were all discussing in surprise.

"It's the Lord of Endless!?"

"How could this be? Wasn't the Lord of Endless fighting the God of War and the God of Death in the Shattering Annihilation Corridor? How could he still be on the Flame Frost Continent?"

"Could it be some kind of conspiracy, a trap deliberately set to lure Emperor Augustus into making a move?"

"No, that's unlikely. I think it's more like a ruse, an attempt to scare off Emperor Augustus. In reality, the Flame Frost Continent is completely vulnerable and has little power to resist."

The head of an evil god suddenly appeared somewhere in the Void. Under the cover of darkness, the hideous head was covered with twisted and tangled sharp horns, like the roots of a great tree.

A greedy gaze traversed the vast distance of the Void, looking towards the Flame Frost Continent as if it were eyeing a piece of succulent, juicy flesh.

At the same time, similar gazes appeared in many dark corners of the Astral Realm, like ferocious beasts lurking under the Nightfall, all coveting the thorny, juicy flesh of the Flame Frost Continent.

Not only do the World Serpent Jörmungandr and Emperor Augustus covet the Flame Frost Continent, but other forces and powerful individuals share this ambition.

Who wouldn't want a larger territory, a deeper foundation, and greater strength?

The reason they didn't act like Emperor Augustus was that they were observing the situation.

They would wait and see how things developed, to see if the Flame Frost Continent still had any power to resist, and to see if Emperor Augustus's injuries were truly that severe... If they found an opportunity, they would act immediately.

It's like a pack of hyenas eyeing a wounded lion, then hunting a buffalo that might also be injured.

Buffalo meat is coveted by both lions and hyenas.

However, the hyenas were disorganized and individually weak, making them unable to hunt buffalo, even a severely injured one.

At this point, the lion needs to test the water buffalo's strength first, while the water buffalo can also test the lion's power.

The hyenas waited nearby, ready to strike at any moment that showed a weakness, ready to deliver Fatal Strike.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is becoming increasingly blatant in the Astral Realm.

Feeling the undisguised malicious gazes coming from all directions, Emperor Augustus became even more agitated, but he knew that the greatest threat before him was still the Flame Frost Body that had just appeared.

Is the other party truly the Lord of Endless?

bluff?

Or perhaps it exists as clones or incarnations.

Or is it truly the true form of the Lord of Endless?

The opponent possesses a rapid spatial teleportation ability similar to Gate of Myriad Worlds.

It remains to be seen.

Emperor Augustus was currently seriously injured. His arrival on the Flame Frost Continent was already a huge risk, and he did not want to suffer another setback on the very place where he had risen to power.

Gripping the "Spear of Order" tightly, Emperor Augustus took a deep breath, reached out his other hand, and gently grasped a greatsword in his palm, which he held firmly.

This sword differs from the "Spear of Order." It is not a form of eye power condensed from the Great Dao of Knights, but a genuine, Peak Supreme God.

Titled "The Deathbringer: Dusk of All Realms".

The blade of "The Deathbringer" is forged as if by darkness itself, which devours all light, yet its edge flows with a fine, dark golden light that seems capable of cutting through everything.

Embedded in the hilt of the sword is a slowly rotating miniature continental phantom, with black and white intertwined on it, symbolizing origin and Termination, life and Destruction, fire and ice, which is the World Projection of the Flame Frost Continent.

However, it was not a projection of the Flame Frost Continent's own primordial power, but rather something condensed by Emperor Augustus himself, making it seem like something else entirely.

In fact, if Emperor Augustus had truly controlled the core of the Flame Frost Continent, this projection would have become a real entity, serving as a powerful conduit for him to mobilize the power of the Flame Frost Continent's planes.

If the Spear of Order represents absolute sharpness and penetrating power with ridiculously strong penetration, then the Deathbringer is like a Destruction hammer blow.

When this sword is swung, it releases a directional Destruction force field that is under extreme control. In the space swept by the sword's edge or sword energy, matter will rapidly decay and disintegrate, energy will rapidly dissipate and decay, and orderly structures will spontaneously move towards chaos and heat death.

This effect is particularly terrifying for the Undying, as it directly accelerates the collapse of their undead body's "negative energy stabilization structure," leading to true death.

Furthermore, the blade of the Deathbringer possesses the property of "Existence Erasure".

For targets whose soul essence has been completely analyzed and determined to be "Termination" by Emperor Augustus, the sword's attack can damage the concept of "existence" itself along the causal line of its existence.

At best, it leaves wounds that cannot heal and continuously diminish one's "presence"; at worst, it erases them partially or completely from the "records" of the real world, making it impossible to revive, trace, or summon them.

Furthermore, in situations requiring a full-force attack, Emperor Augustus would cross his two weapons, triggering a complete fusion of their primal powers.

That will be the time for Emperor Augustus to give it his all.

Aside from "Emperor's Wrath: Ultimate Domination", this is Emperor Augustus's strongest battle form.

Clearly, Emperor Augustus, by summoning the "Deathbringer," was preparing to enter this battle state.

Emperor Augustus clashed his spear of Spear of Order and the Deathbringer Greatsword, their dark golden Emperor Dou Qi intertwining with the all-consuming darkness to form a battle robe resembling a primordial nebula.

His left eye was like a star at creation, and his right eye was like Black Hole in the void. He stared coldly at the towering giant who rose from the continent, amidst the mountains and valleys.

It seems to be saying, "Do you dare to fight?"

Within the Flame Frost Body, in the slowly beating heart, the figure of Logo appeared and disappeared.

A smile played on his lips as he looked at Emperor Augustus before him and shook his head slightly, "The timing was good, but unfortunately, some things are hard to predict."

Logo was referring to his own relationship with Lancelot.

This can be considered one of the most closely guarded secrets in the current Astral Realm.

Aside from Logo, Lancelot, and Gustavo, perhaps only the World Tree knows something about it, but even that's not entirely certain.

The reason why Emperor Augustus and the spectators were astonished was that if Lancelot, the ruler of the Flame Frost Continent, had not personally intervened, it would have been impossible to summon the Flame Frost Body.

It should be noted that the Flame Frost Body was created by Lancelot using his own Endless Divine Body to release the "Infinity Divine Realm," merging the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of the Flame Frost Continent, as well as the will of heaven and earth, and with the support of the power of the plane.

If it weren't for him, how could so many conditions be met?

Let me just mention one point.

They can't get past the hurdle of the World Will.

How can someone who is not the ruler of the world deceive the World Will?

This is practically impossible.

However, this very thing still happened so openly and vividly in front of everyone.

Logo used his own soul fluctuations to simulate Lancelot, and with the help of the memories shared between the two and the uniqueness of the Great Dao of Chaos, he created a perfect Replication.

Even the World Will of the Flame Frost Continent failed to detect anything amiss.

As for the Infinity Divine Realm...

Logo definitely doesn't have that.

But he can find alternatives.

Don't forget, Logo is a rune master.

Throughout the entire Astral Realm, few can surpass Logo in the Dao of Runes Logo.

While the Infinity Divine Realm didn't exist, Logo had a whole host of domain -Rune Array that had merged with the Flame Frost Continent.

For others, fusing with the Flame Frost Body might be extremely difficult, but for Logo, it wasn't really that hard.

Even with only his mind and will present, Logo could still control the Flame Frost Body and clash with Peak Supreme God.

Logo even described it as "catching a turtle in a jar"!
