This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The aftermath of the celestial clash left Fourth Hell in a state of disarray. The once pristine landscape now bore the scars of an otherworldly battle, with craters punctuating the once-lush terrain and remnants of celestial magic lingering in the air like ethereal echoes. The sky, once a canvas of natural beauty, still held traces of the magical meteor's descent, casting an otherworldly glow that painted the surroundings in iridescent hues.

Onlookers, both mortal and powerful cultivators alike, stood in stunned silence. The awe-inspiring display of celestial power had left them breathless, and the realization of the forces at play left a palpable tension hanging in the air. Leaders of various sects, hidden experts, and curious wanderers all shared the same wide-eyed expression, grappling with the sheer magnitude of the spectacle they had just witnessed.

The once-peaceful Fourth Hell now bore witness to the clash of titans, and the aftermath spoke volumes of the forces that had converged upon this realm. The onlookers, humbled and shaken by the cataclysmic events, exchanged furtive glances and murmured in hushed tones. The landscape, scarred and transformed, silently echoed the tale of an epic confrontation that had unfolded in its midst, leaving an indelible mark on the very fabric of Fourth Hell.

The colossal meteor stood as a silent monolith, a celestial victor amidst the battered landscape of Fourth Hell. Its surface glowed with an ethereal radiance, casting a gentle luminescence on the scarred terrain beneath. The once-vibrant vegetation, now reduced to ashes and rubble, formed a stark contrast to the meteor's imposing presence.

The onlookers, their expressions ranging from awe to disbelief, couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the celestial phenomenon. The meteor, a testament to Lyon's mastery over celestial magic, seemed to defy the natural order, a celestial guardian now watching over the altered realm. The air, still tinged with the remnants of magical energies, whispered tales of the epic clash that had unfolded in the heavens.

As the celestial giant loomed over the transformed landscape, its victory was not just in the destruction it wrought but in the awe it inspired. It stood as a celestial sentinel, a reminder that even in the face of chaos, there existed forces beyond mortal comprehension. The aftermath of the battle had etched a new chapter in the history of Fourth Hell, and the giant meteor stood as both witness and conqueror in this celestial saga.

Cecile's eyes widened in horror as the celestial giant began to fracture, the once-victorious meteor succumbing to unseen forces. "No, no, no," she muttered, her voice barely audible over the ominous sounds of celestial destruction.

Selena, holding Kesya, shared the concern etched across Cecile's face. "What's happening? Lyon's magic shouldn't—"

Before Selena could finish her sentence, the meteor crumbled into colossal debris, casting a shroud of dust over the onlookers. Karina, shielding her face from the swirling particles, spoke with a mixture of awe and disbelief, "That meteor... Lyon's magic... It's like it couldn't contain the power it harnessed."

The onlookers, initially in a state of shock, began murmuring among themselves. The celestial spectacle that once stood as a symbol of Lyon's prowess had now become a chaotic display of celestial unraveling. The atmosphere was tense as if the very fabric of reality had been momentarily disrupted.

Back on the ground, Lyon, still unconscious, lay amidst the aftermath of his celestial feat. The crackling echoes of the crumbling meteor slowly faded, leaving only the unsettled dust to dance in the air. The onlookers, uncertain of what had transpired, could only gaze at the debris-strewn landscape with a mix of confusion and trepidation.

Amidst the settling dust and the shattered remains of the celestial display, a shadowy figure emerged, obscured by the remnants of the fallen meteor. The onlookers, still enveloped in a cloud of confusion, strained their eyes to discern the enigmatic form taking shape. A resonant chuckle echoed through the air, a sound that seemed to vibrate with the very essence of the Fourth Hell.

As the dust slowly dispersed, revealing the identity of the emerging figure, a collective gasp swept through the crowd. There stood Rakumtatak, the Orc Emperor, his imposing frame framed by the remnants of the celestial spectacle. Blood trickled down from a wound on his forehead, a testament to the intensity of the battle he had just endured.

In one hand, he wielded a formidable one-handed axe, its gleaming blade reflecting the ambient light of the fractured realm. The weapon seemed almost an extension of Rakumtatak himself, its design both ergonomic and fearsome. The onlookers, now confronted with the undeniable presence of the Orc Emperor, felt a mixture of awe and apprehension. Rakumtatak's grin, etched on his battle-worn face, carried a certain triumphant aura as if he had emerged from the heart of chaos unscathed.

Rakumtatak's imposing figure loomed over Lyon, who lay still on the ground, his eyes closed. The Orc Emperor's eyes, tinted with a mix of respect and curiosity, surveyed the battered Zodiac Emperor. Cecile, Selena, and Karina formed a protective barrier around Lyon, their expressions a blend of concern and defiance.

"Well, well, Zodiac Emperor," Rakumtatak's voice rumbled, breaking the momentary silence. "I must admit, that last display of yours was quite something. A celestial rain from the heavens, and yet, here I stand." He gestured theatrically to his surroundings, still marred by the remnants of the shattered meteor.

Karina shot a sharp glance at Rakumtatak, her tone resolute. "Don't get any closer, orc. Lyon's not in a state for banter."

Rakumtatak chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that echoed through the tense air. "Relax, little one. I'm not here to finish what the meteor started, though I must say, your emperor has a flair for the dramatic."

Selena, her eyes fixed on Rakumtatak, retorted with a measured tone, "Why are you here then, Rakumtatak?"

The Orc Emperor's smirk widened. "I'm here because, for the first time in a long while, something managed to surprise me. Lyon, the Zodiac Emperor, achieved that feat, again."

"The battle is over, Orc Emperor," an imperial voice succumbed to Fourth Hell.

A hushed murmur swept through the onlookers as Elandril, the Elven Emperor, stepped forward, his presence commanding the attention of all. The air seemed to shift, carrying an ethereal quality that marked the arrival of an emperor. The sun's rays filtered through the dense forest, casting a radiant glow upon Elandril's silver hair.

Elandril raised a hand, and an invisible force quelled the residual tremors of the recent battle. His emerald eyes, sharp and discerning, surveyed the aftermath. Rakumtatak, the Orc Emperor, stood with a one-handed axe, blood staining his formidable frame. Lyon, the Zodiac Emperor, lay unconscious, surrounded by Cecile, Selena, and Karina, their expressions a mix of concern and determination.

"You have tested the boundaries of this realm with your clash," Elandril spoke, his voice resonating like a gentle breeze. "But the harmony of the Fourth Hell must be preserved. Rakumtatak, restrain your thirst for battle, for today it is sated."

Rakumtatak grunted in acknowledgment, his eyes never leaving Lyon. Elandril turned his gaze to the fallen Zodiac Emperor, his expression softening.

Elandril approached Lyon. "He endured a celestial onslaught, yet clings to life. His resilience is commendable."

Yala, her eyes scanning the aftermath, couldn't help but gasp at the sheer devastation that unfolded before her. "By the leaves of Eldoria... What power," she whispered to herself, unable to contain her astonishment.

As she neared Lyon, Cecile, Selena, and Karina, the elven healer found herself uttering, "I've never seen celestial magic of this magnitude. The very fabric of the realm is shaken." Her fingers lightly traced the residual celestial patterns in the air, and she marveled, "It's as if the stars themselves descended upon Fourth Hell."

Yala's gaze shifted to Lyon, and a mix of concern and awe played across her features. "Uncle, the extent of your battles... it's beyond comprehension. Even the mightiest trees of Eldoria would struggle to withstand such force," she remarked, her voice carrying a blend of admiration and concern for the emperor.

The celestial meteor's remnants drew a soft exhale from Yala. "To think that such power could be harnessed and unleashed in a single spell... it's humbling, uncle. Nature itself is stirred by this celestial dance," she spoke, her words carrying a reverence for the forces that transcended the mortal realm.

The Elven Emperor, Elandril, spoke with an authority that resonated through the air, "The aftermath of this celestial clash has left its mark on Fourth Hell. We shall bring Lyon Torga and his companions to Eldora for proper recovery and restoration."

Cecile, ever vigilant by Lyon's side, nodded in acknowledgment. "Your offer is appreciated, Emperor Elandril. The journey through celestial energies has taken its toll on Lyon."

"And of course, you are welcome as well," asked Elandril as he looked over at Rakumtatak.

Rakumtatak, standing amidst the wreckage, gave a nod of agreement that surprised those witnessing the scene. "Why not? It's been a while since I have a proper welcome there."
