The Sword of Somplak
Mythologies

Ucup was impressed by the opulence within the palace, his eyeballs circulating watching every inch of the towering palace with its alluring elegance, becoming the epitome of splendor and power in the era of the Xiao Empire.

Walking into the middle of the hall, Ucup saw the existence of a magnificent throne and decorated with jewels. The throne was surrounded by luxurious chairs waiting for important figures who occupied it. 

Sunlight entering through the large windows depicted ancient carvings carved into the walls. The atmosphere within the palace was a combination of luxury and elegance, creating a suitable place for banquets of nobles, important gatherings, and imperial cults. However, from all the splendor he saw, Ucup's mind was fixated on the awkwardness he got. 

“aku prejudiced in it many scattered bones of the inhabitants of the palace, but the conditions inside so neatly look like no attack happened, why can it be so?” muttered full of questions.

His footsteps continued to step forward towards Emperor Xiao's throne.

“Lord Ucup, this condition is not confusing. Long before the invasion of the demon nation spread throughout the mortal realm, most of the palace families and officials entered the palace secret room, spreading out leaving the palace,”, Prince Xiao Li Dan said.

“Thus, there should be many of your family members who survived,” Ucup replied.

“Yes, even so, wherever everyone runs away, the demons will continue to hunt him down. Especially after the Demon Wolf Sect stood up, the human existence was increasingly endangered. The only way to save themselves only if elected to be part of the sect members,” beber the prince recalled the events in the past.

In the demon realm, Demon Queen Xin Li Wei obtained information from one of her officials that the demon formation seal installed in the Xiao Imperial Palace had been destroyed.

In accordance with what was predicted by the devil nation and the nation of gods from the implied in the ancient record that there will come a time when the ruler of the universe appears to reconstruct the universe. The destruction of the formation seal in the Xiao Imperial Palace became a sign of his existence. Because only the master of the universe can do it.

Even so, the presence of the ruler of the universe who carried out the mission of creating the beautiful world again as it should not be grateful to all beings, some people have the ambition to make it as a short step to reach the highest peak of cultivation.

It is not without reason that they think so, events in the past that present two great figures, namely the Demon Lord Tang Xie Orange and the Sun God Taiyangshen who were actually two beings who were at the peak realm of cultivation, became their benchmark in that ambition.

As they believed, the Sun God became the only god to reach the Supreme realm. Likewise with the demon lord that they had expected was already in the realm of Ruler, the realm of peak cultivation.

In cultivation mythology, the cultivation realm is divided into seven levels as a reference to measure the level of achievement in cultivation. When a person reaches his seven levels, he is equal to the seven heavens. So, what are the levels?

The lowest rank is called the Swordsman realm, which is a novice cultivator who is able to cultivate Qi in his dantian. However, not only applies to cultivators, even people who train their inner strength enter the Swordsman realm. The second level is the Master realm, next the Warrior realm, Emperor, Immortal, Supreme, and Ruler realm.

Generally mortal realm cultivators were able to reach to Emperor realm, that is, the half-eternal realm. Nonetheless, it did not rule out the possibility for them to break through to the Immortal realm, that is, the realm of immortality and become a god. Those who were able to break through it could stay in the god realm, but to reach that realm was not easy, it took a lot of resources and a relatively long time in achieving it.

While the inhabitants of the god realm, would jump into the Emperor realm as a beginner in cultivation. It was based on the bloodline of a god and the god realm energy which was a multiple of the mortal nature energy. 

In addition to being divided into two cultivation paths, cultivation levels are also divided into star qualities, namely the quality of silver stars and gold stars for the Swordsman realm to the Emperor realm, and that was in the Immortal realm until the Supreme realm was divided in the quality of crystal stars and platinum stars. Only the realm of Ruler did not count in star quality. It was because Ruler's realm was at the top of the cultivation pyramid.

However, on top of the cultivation pyramid there were still two highest levels that only a handful of people possessed, namely the Superior realm that the five Pillars of the Universe possessed, and the highest above it is the Ultimate realm or can be called the Galactic Ruler realm. Only one person in history was able to break through it, that person was the demon lord, Tang Xie Jingga.

Back to the Demon Palace.

Demon Queen Xin Li Wei laughed full of happiness in her who wanted the power of the ruler of the universe.

“Ha-ha-ha! Finally the ruler of the universe has arrived at the mortal realm. I was curious about its power that could not be measured by all beings in the universe. With my strength residing in the realm of Supreme Crystal Stars, I believe after conquering it, I can master these three universes,” he said determinedly before his officials.

The demonic aura emanating from the body of Demon Queen Xin Li Wei spread throughout the palace. The roar of burning spirit from the demon army echoed like the sound of a war drum.

“Life, Her Majesty The Queen. Wishing the devil nation!” the cries of the demon army echoed in the palace area.

So too with the nation of gods in the realm of gods. The Celestial Emperor looked very happy to get the news delivered by his officials. His face seemed to be beaming at the renaissance of the gods after a long time under the political confines of the demon nation led by Queen Xin Li Wei.

Despite the bliss emanating within him, the Celestial Emperor felt his own anxiety given the power of the universe's ruler that was far from his reach.

“His arrival is a way to awaken the decline of our nation so far, but we do not know how to conquer the ruler of the universe in this effort?” the Celestial Emperor said so softly sounded.

Some Sky Palace officials frowned to understand everything that the emperor had said, but not so with a god who was always calm to react to it. The god stepped before the emperor.

“Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. The arrival of the ruler of the universe aims to reconstruct the universe, it is good for our universe that has a lot of damage,” said a golden-bearded god.

The Celestial Emperor grinned coldly in response. In his mind, the emperor was hiding something that all the palace officials had not known. 

“Betul also said, God of Wisdom. We will welcome his arrival well when he arrives at the god realm,” Sky Emperor replied smiling knot.

The God of Wisdom smiled back at him. Unbeknownst to the Celestial Emperor, he secretly learned of the veiled intent hidden by the emperor.
