Never in history had a new Cosmos ever won a Writ of Challenge against the locals of the Primordial Empire.

This thought rang in the minds of Daolord Ilyad and Ray resoundingly as crimson light washed over them, both of their eyes looking at their torn limbs hanging from his hands as blood still freshly leaked from them!

Something that hadn't happened in history...they wouldn't be the first ones to allow it.

THRUM!

With limbs missing and utterly humiliated, the expressions of Ilyad and Ray were utterly cold as they moved like streaks of light the moment they were free from Noah's grasp.

They moved with fervor as if they hadn't just suffered a major injury, their eyes flashing with a deadly light as they went on the offensive once more!

This was the pride and honor of an Antiquity!

But shockingly, they weren't going towards Noah's domineering figure that held two bloody dripping hands- they were instead making a beeline towards the Antiquities behind Noah that were blazing with battle power and had begun to move.

They knew their enemy was stronger, so they could only find gaps in his strength!

That gap was something they had seen him defend fervently in the last few seconds...the Antiquities he protected!

If they could massacre a few of them or hold some hostage, they might be able to find a gap against the being before them.

With such a thought, they moved forward as their bodies lit up with crimson lights of destruction, their voices coming out in synchrony.

"Through the Storms of Extinction."

WAA!

"Through the Eternal Dust."

RUMBLE!

"<Storm of the Everfading Dust>."

!!!

The Cosmic Battlefield quieted.

Time seemingly moved to a lull as behind their two figures, the formation of a heart rending and Origin shaking illusory figure formed instantly!

Hair bright red and an expression that seemed to disdain everything formed, the figure towering to be larger than a Galaxy as its eyes filled with arrogance merely blinked.

A mere blink, but this single blink allowed for terrifying clusters of unknown essence to bloom towards the Antiquities, this essence eating up the surrounding void itself as all it left behind was Annihilation and dust!

It was the Storm of Everfading Dust, a skill unique to those from the House of Stormdust as they called upon the illusory figure of their most powerful combatant to lay down judgment.

When this skill was cast, a storm would always descend on the targeted area as after it passed, everything would turn to dust!

Such a skill was cast in conjunction with two Daolords as they targeted not someone of their own level, but existences of lower strength than them. 

It was the only way they saw to disrupt the dominance and coldness the Daolord Osmont had already begun to express! 

But little did they know that this choice of theirs was one that marked them for something no Daolord in the House of Stormdust had faced in the last few million years.

RUMBLE!

As the raging storm that even turned the void to dust raged towards mere Antiquities, the eyes of Ilyad and Ray lit up as they saw Daolord Osmont's figure materializing before this storm, and they could see he was intent on protecting all of the Antiquities behind him!

'Good!'

Their eyes showed elation in confirming this as to them, it meant they knew what to target and put this being in a disadvantageous position until they wore him down.

After all, the essence of two Daolord was always better than one.

Even with greater strength, they could take this Daolord Osmont down in time as they ground down his essence and mana!

In their elation, they watched as the eyes of Daolord Osmont turned an octave colder, his voice echoing out all around.

"Endless Rays of Time."

THRUM!

The void tore apart.

From its torn areas, cascading Rays of Grey light shone out brightly, these Rays covering everything as they went on to shine on the deadly storm of essence that was turning everything to dust...and the shocking scene of these rays erasing everything played out!

One must recall what this skill from the [Cosmic Dao Integration and Combinations] did to get a better understanding of what was actually occurring!

[Endless Rays of Time](5/5) :: An area of effect ability that utilizes the Dao essence of Chronos, Reincarnation, Space-time, and Vitality, along with the laws of Life and Death to bring to fruition scorching rays that tear apart time itself wherever they cross. Enemies hit by the Rays of Time experience Body and Soul Degradation, Instantaneous Necrosis, -100,000% Movement and Attack Speed, and -100,000% Reduction to Physical, Daos, and Laws Resistance.  Once the ability activates, it continues to rain down the rays of time until it is deactivated.

The coalescing of laws and daos came together as they birthed something glorious, this scene causing the figure of Forefather Julius to rise and float from his seat in shock as he uttered out unconsciously.

"A Glimpse of Edicts…!"

WAA!

A Glimpse of Edicts! A stage of shocking power and grandeur that very few in the Primordial Empire could even claim to have achieved!

Only the true core powers of the Three Houses boasted such a capability, and such powerhouses were few and far in between.

"How could this…"

So how could a being appear outside of the Primordial Empire and achieve such a thing? Such a shocking question buzzed in Forefather Julius's mind as when he looked closely at the Daolord Osmont, he saw that this being only had his manifested Universes number a but over 200!

Such a number was still considered a fledgling under someone like Forefather Julius who had already forged thousands of Universes.

Yet such a young fledgling that had barely stepped onto the path of Universal Filament had somehow been capable of taking a glimpse of Edicts and began playing with the combination and fusion of Daos through his attacks…all the while also having destroyed his foundation of Daos by turning them into Runic Dao Lines!

There were too many incongruencies and mysteries surrounding such a figure as Forefather Julius truly understood now why the Family Head had motioned for them to be cautious.

But the word of caution seemed like it would not be able to truly reach Daolord Ilyad and Ray.

Their bodies blazed with essence as their Runic Dao Tattoos shone a myriad of colors, their eyes looking towards the endlessly cascading rays of light that erased an attack that could even turn the void into dust with shock!

They utilized The Primordial and Ruination Daos to defend themselves, seeing some effectiveness in this manner as their Origins churned to sustain them.

But amidst all of these fast paced movements, they heard the voice of Daolord Osmont as after their second try to attack and wipe out the Antiquities behind him, his voice seemed to have turned entirely chilly!

"Death it is then."

RUMBLE 

Before his voice even echoed out, his figure had disappeared.

"Be ready!" Daolord Ray bellowed out as he felt his Origin ring alarm bells all around, knowing the counterattack they were about to face would be heavy after failing to find even a simple gap in the enemy's strength.

"Back to back, withstand him until his strength is exhausted…" He continued to speak towards Daolord Ilyad beside him as when he turned his eyes towards her after not hearing her reply, his eyes trembled as his Origin shook fearfully for the first time in many years!

There, just a few inches from his own figure...he could see the shocked expression of Daolord Ilyad as her pristine red haired head...had a fair white runic tattooed hand stretching through it.

"..."

BZZZT!

Space shook and quaked as the scene fully registered, Blood and gore leaking out as horrifically...a genuine multicolored hand had gone from the back and through the front of the head of a Daolord at a speed that very few could keep up with, this hand beginning to burn brightly with Ruination and a myriad of other essences as the voice of the terrifying existence echoed out!

"Universe of Turbidity."

WAA!

An unstable Universe bloomed from the very center of consciousness of a powerful Daolord as the results of this action would pave way for a road of no return.

A road of Conquest and glory that would etch itself into the annals of history!
