Chapter 2708 Deterioration! Refinement! IV 2708 Deterioration! Refinement! IV The refinement of Noah's first Planalith Krystallos was proceeding smoothly, the major thing he was watching being the expenditure of Vitalis and Vacuous Hyperversal Authorities and how much he was recovering as it continued to burn up every second. Although he couldn't say with absolute confidence, he could see that it would likely drain all of his reserves of Vitalis and Vacuous Hyperversal Authorities just to complete this single Ruin Planalith Krystallos- and this was with him regenerating these authorities as it meant his current reserves weren't enough! This was how ridiculous utilizing the Golden Hyperversal Planalith Krystallos Refinement Art as even a being of the Second Awakenings like him had trouble with it. But he proceeded steadily as at the end of the road…there was going to be nothing else other than Extremity. Instead, he places his focus elsewhere as this process continued, a part of his will turning towards his ongoing war with the Avernus Clan! His machinations were deep as after a day, he had already made multiple moves against the Avernus Clan. In the Nether Haven of Oceanus. Within a cluster of Minor Havens surrounded by dazzling purple swirling formations that would protect and alert the Avernus Clan of any intruders. In a Minor Haven known as the Brightlac Haven, a group of Tier 3 and Tier 2 Hyperversal Extremities sat in a Command Post of this Haven as they talked in grim tones regarding recent events. Purple thrones floated in a stellar space as these Avernus Extremities looked at each other while speaking. [More bad news and good news from the Supernal Haven of Dissolution…our brethren have begun dying to the Pathogenic Authority released by Osmont. The good news is that Esteemed Blue has touched upon the door of Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity.] …! A Tier 3 Hyperversal Extremity spoke as her gaze was a grim one even with such good news! [Tier 4?!] Others rose in shock and happiness as such a thing as it meant their Clan was that much more secure. Each Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity was the backbone of the Seven Clans as the more of them, the better. So why was her gaze still grim? The one who had spoken sighed as she continued. [Unfortunately, her first action after arriving at the doors of Tier 4 was to attack Osmont who was under the protection of the Havenly Animalia Extremity Lineage- under a Tier 4 Hyperversal Extremity. Now because of that, all of our forces are barred from entering all Archipelagos under the Havenly Animalia Extremity Lineage, which greatly dampers our progress into the Supernal Havens of Extremity…] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 …! The news shocked those hearing it for the first time as they sat back on their thrones and sighed. [First the Blood Sources, now this…] The heads of the Tier 3 and Tier 2 Hyperversal Extremities shook as they thought about everything that had occurred so far. Just where did it all begin to go wrong? [Our might is unblemished as nobody would even dare to utter our name if not with reverence, now…there have been scuffles between our Scions and Elders with even dredges of people from Inheritances- not even the Seven Clans, and we lost in those scuffles!] …! Normally, no inheritance would ever dare to even besmirch the grandeur of Avernus. And yet over the past day, their people moved about as normal, and when it came to receiving the same level of respect from others as before…it did not happen! Their Apex Aeonic Scions disagreed with the Scions of a middle-tier Inheritance at best, and yet their people lost in the ensuing conflict. It was because of nothing else other than the fact that the other side had the Havenly Hyperversal Emperor Lineage, and they did not! This thought caused their minds to turn sour as these beings remained silent on their thrones. [...Well-] HUUM! One had begun trying to lighten up the mood when all of their gazes suddenly changed, their faces turning to gaze towards a certain direction in their Brightlac Haven as their figures disappeared soon after! This was because they had felt an ascension of life from Apex to Extremity in a region of this Haven, with all of them moving across space to stop a bright mountain surrounded by waves of purple mist, their eyes joyful as they disappeared again to enter this mountain and appear within a domain in its depths. This was the Lilac Converging Mountain in their Brightlac Haven that was the abode of their Scions to cultivate in, so the change of life from Apex to Extremity they had just felt was astounding news as in their memory, they held a few candidates who had been stuck at the 17th Boundary Layer for a few hundred or thousands of years without success in breaking through! They came to ascertain who had made this achievement as when they appeared, they saw a group of twice a dozen Scions rising up in shock and… worry? The moment they felt the aura of Tier 2 and Tier 3 Elders of the Avernus Clan behind them, their faces actually became ashen and filled with more worry as they surrounded a single being who had just formed their first Golden Hyperversal Havenly Extremity Rune Scripture, the gaze of this woman blank as she uttered out with slight fear! [I…I didn't mean to. I really didn't. It just…happened.] …! Shocking words came from her that baffled the newly appearing Extremities as they soon realized something was wrong. She didn't mean to step away from the 17th Layer and enter Extremity? Just what could allow such a thing? In their confusion, they spread their wills out as their gazes suddenly changed. This was because from the body of the newly advanced Tier 1 Hyperversal Extremity and the twice a dozen other Apex Aeonic Lifeforms around her… they felt a Havenly glow they had only seen around other beings that had attained something they could not! And not just that, but on the feet of this group, there were over a hundred glimmering crimson gold round Blood Sources that finally came under their gaze. …! [Preposterous!] [You…you all!] Their happy moods turned extremely sour as they bellowed out, the scene in front of them foreshadowing the shocking and chaotic times to come for the Avernus Clan!
