In his entire life, there were very few moments where Yan Zaizen lost control of his emotions. In many situations, he was always calm and tackling a situation with the utmost grace of a sovereign!
In the deep mines, when he was exposed to the cruelty of the world, sent there to his death unjustly, he never exhibited a hint of anger.
The first time he'd experienced this emotion was when Wu Yanxu was killed in front of him. He couldn't do anything but watched as his chest was caved in, his heart crushed and the life from his eyes instantly fade. That image was still clear to him to this day.
The second was due to Pinaka. She had given herself up for his sake, substituting his misfortune for a chance at survival after his soul cultivation was being drained and his soul nearly taken.
The last figure had no eyes, no nose, strange ears, lips, and brows…
The most noticeable was it had eyebrows without eyes!
This face.
How could he ever, EVER FORGET THIS FACE!![1]
The fury in his eyes assailed to the highest peak imaginable. This face had taken Pinaka!
Yan Zaizen's mind grew fuzzy as his earlier objective now became a secondary priority. The only thing he could think about was…
"Kill!!!" Roaring with raw, unfiltered rage, Yan Zaizen immediately left his body. His Dao Soul was no longer restricted by the limitations of soul cultivation, exceeding its original abilities. Despite his soul cultivation not being at the Astral Soul Realm, his soul left his body!
The emotionless gigantic figures and boundless storms of multiple colors started to take action simultaneously. It was as if, as long as Yan Zaizen challenged them, they would, no, must respond! This was what they were waiting for!
Yan Zaizen's soul was black and amber-gold with countless colorful lights circulating within, representing all the laws he'd just advanced. It was so bright, so beautiful, so fast that it was like a rainbow missile shooting across the sky.
The Mortal Law storms struck first. Countless bolts of lightning with a myriad of colors honed onto Yan Zaizen and struck down. Yan Zaizen, however, didn't even look towards them. He sped up, his soul form releasing an even more brilliant light.
The lightning was homing in nature, undodgeable and focused purely on his soul. Regardless of how fast he was going, the lightning would hit!
Bang!
All the lightning bolts smashed simultaneously on his exposed soul form. Yan Zaizen took a single breath! This breath followed by that strike was like a signal. The lightning was like a pebble in a pond, after a slight ripple there was no other effect. He continued forward unhindered for even a split second!
Yan Zaizen's soul form did experience a slight change as his law avatars within his soul, all those relating to Mortal Laws, glowed ever brighter.
He ignored all obstacles! The hatred in his heart was etched eternally to the point it permeated his entire soul.
The Mortal Law Trials were simultaneously overcome with a breath! Yet, this Sovereign Trial that had never occurred since the foundation of the Heavenly Origin Grounds were not over!
The World Law storms above flashed violently, but they didn't strike immediately. World Laws were far less numerous than Mortal Laws and they encompassed the very basics, the absolute core and components that were the entirety of heavenly function. Essentially, all Imperial Laws were advanced applications of those basics!
Unlike Imperial Laws, however, World Laws can be thoroughly fused! Fused to become more, to become something else!
The remaining storms above started to swirl together and become like a kaleidoscope of various intermixing of colors. Despite its beauty and mysterious, the aura almost immediately snapped Yan Zaizen out of his fog of anger!
Yan Zaizen halted almost immediately as he stood there in shock, startled by this change. He hadn't realized that he comprehended every World Law in existence! This produced an absolutely terrifying change within the trials auctions.
The three giants were passive in their action, despite their sizes of billions of kilometers, they looked down without emotion as the storms underwent their change.
This brief moment of shock caused Yan Zaizen, who became muddled in his thoughts, to ponder this event. "Could it be…" Before he could come to any conclusion, the storms finished their change!!
A sphere.
A perfect, golden sphere that seemed like a planet's atmosphere emerged. This sphere was immense. The sheer enormity of its size covered his entire sight, and as someone who has heavenly sense and soul sense, this was wide!

Even when his vision were covered by the three giants above, he could still see behind, below, or beyond the giants.
Now?
There was only this perfect golden sphere. The aura it emitted was nearly indescribably.
It was like facing heavens' true form!
"Is this...heaven?!"
It wasn't only him. Quadrillions of kilometers away, every heavenly cultivator within that range, covering many, many zones and areas couldn't help but look up at this moment. Regardless of their cultivation bases, from the Qi Cyclone Realm to the (Origin Path) Heavenly Creation Realm, they all, without fail, looked up!!
In another Zone, the world was filled with bright, holy light that seemed to possess an unnatural purity. Above it's skies were several figures, old and young, all with bright eyes as they looked towards this sphere.
An old man with white hair, long flowing white beard, and a white linen robe floated at this groups head. His aged eyes contained a brilliance uncharacteristic of his old appearance.
"Is this...A projection of heaven itself?" As those words echoed, all the members had expressions of confusion, excitement, and wariness.
A young, golden-haired, blue-eyed female walked next to this old man, her beauty was breathtaking. "It has appeared…" Her soft whisper echoed about like thunder, lingering in their ears.
The old man gave the young woman a sideway glance but remained silent for quite a while. "Where?" Only after this while did he speak.
"Where Dusk Reigns." After those words, the young woman vanished into thin air. The others looked towards this area.
The old man sighed softly, "It has begun." Like an ignition had been set, every person vanished into beams of light traveling in various directions. In a blink, only the old man stayed behind looking upwards.
"Will we finally...be able to return home...or will we all forever be lost." With those words, he, too, shot away.
In areas elsewhere, scenes and sentiments like this resounded endlessly. It was as if a prophecy was coming to life.
Yan Zaizen eyes shined brilliantly witnessing this golden sphere appear. He could see flickering symbols and characters beneath its surface. He was now more certain than ever this was a presentation of heaven!
More distinctively, this was what the Thirty-Three Heavens looked like individually!
His soul trembled and an intense greed and complicated feeling emerged from the depths of his soul. This tremble originated from his soul bloodline! It was telling...to devour!
To devour!
TO DEVOUR!!
"Come!!" For this brief moment, he forgot about the eyebrow, eyeless figure looming above and only focused on this sphere. An insatiable hunger flowed within his soul. Amber-gold and black light overcame all the other flashing colors of his laws. With a step, he arrived before this sphere in his soul form.
"I said! COME!!!" A black hole seemed to take over his existence as he lost his human form. This black hole was supported by his Dao of Sovereign Ascension! His soul bloodline was ascending to a new peak of usage beyond anything he'd ever experienced.
Whether this was due to his new Dao Soul or if it was provoked by the appearance of the sphere, even he didn't know.
As if angered by his words, the sphere shrunk into the size of a small moon. In comparison to its earlier appearance, this was like a pea to a basketball. It barreled forward with a rumble unlike which has ever been made. The Dusk Zone trembled and the skies split.
Only now did Yan Zaizen realize that the sphere was actually much further than he originally thought, and it was enlarging with every second! Before long, it was a miniature sun and up-close! It was like an ant faced the sun as Yan Zaizen stood his ground!
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, it smashed into the black hole that was Yan Zaizen!
