The heavens cracked.
A golden gate materialized in the sky, its sheer presence warping reality itself. A terrifying aura descended, so vast that even the Abyssal Lords trembled in silence.
➤ [Warning: Supreme Entity Approaching]
Seraphis, still recovering from Ye Feng's attack, smiled grimly. "You've sealed your fate, Abyssal King."
From the celestial gate, a monstrous divine presence emerged. A being so powerful that even the abyss recoiled.
➤ [Celestial Overlord: Eterna, Ruler of Divine Order]
A being with twelve radiant wings, eyes like miniature stars, and a body woven from pure law and divinity.
The moment Eterna arrived, time itself slowed.
Ye Feng's breath became heavy. It wasn't just power—it was absolute authority.
"This… this is the true ruler of Heaven?"
Eterna's gaze locked onto Ye Feng. It was not hatred. Not anger.
It was indifference.
"Abyssal King," Eterna's voice echoed across the battlefield, resonating through all living beings. "Your existence disturbs the balance of the multiverse. You will be erased."

The Abyss Resists
The Abyssal Lords stepped forward, their bodies trembling, but their loyalty unshaken.
"My King!" one of them roared. "Let us fight! We are ready to—"
Before he could finish, Eterna raised a single hand.
A beam of divine light erupted from the sky—
And in the next instant, an entire abyssal army division was gone.
Not killed.
Not destroyed.
Completely erased from existence.
The Abyssal Lords froze in terror.
This wasn't a fight against power.
This was a fight against an existence that should not be challenged.

Ye Feng's Choice
Ye Feng clenched his fists. His mind raced as he analyzed the situation.
"Even at my current level, fighting Eterna directly is suicide."
➤ [Power Comparison: Abyssal King vs. Celestial Overlord]
➤ [Chance of Victory: 0.01%]
Ye Feng smirked. "At least it's not zero."
He took a step forward, his golden-black aura expanding.
"If balance is what you seek," he said, "then you should know something."
Eterna tilted their head slightly. "And what is that?"
Ye Feng's eyes burned.
"The Abyss doesn't fear balance—we devour it."
Abyssal energy exploded from his body, forming an impenetrable void barrier around his forces.
"Retreat into the deeper abyss!" he commanded. "This war is not over."
The Abyssal Lords hesitated but obeyed, vanishing into the darkness.
Eterna remained still, watching as Ye Feng himself stepped back into the abyss.
"This is not the end," Ye Feng said, his voice calm. "I'll return stronger. And next time… I will not run."
The celestial sky remained silent.
Eterna's wings flickered. "We shall see, Abyssal King."

The Abyssal King's Retreat – A New Goal
Back in the deepest layers of the Abyss, Ye Feng sat upon his throne. He wasn't angry. He wasn't defeated.
He was planning.
➤ [New Mission: Transcend Beyond the Abyss]
➤ [New Goal: Devour the Celestial Realm]
Ye Feng exhaled.
"I need to break past my limits. I need more than just abyssal power—I need to surpass existence itself."
His journey was far from over.
It had only just begun.
