Building an Eternal Dynasty: The Eternal Legacy System

Breaking Through at the Edge of Death

His voice was calm.

Almost gentle.

That gentleness made it even more frightening.

”And now you’re asking me—how have you offended me?”

Victor looked down at Alaric.

His golden eyes carried a faint trace of amusement.

”Victor!!!”

The name echoed through the minds of every Stellar Sovereign expert present.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Then—

”Good heavens!”

”The Salvatore Family patriarch is a Lunar Sovereign expert?!”

”No wonder!”

”No wonder the Salvatore Family could raise such monstrous prodigies!”

Their voices were low.

Their expressions were filled with dread.

Everything suddenly made sense.

A terrifying existence stood behind the Salvatore Family.

That explained everything.

The experts immediately began searching through their memories.

Had their families ever offended the Salvatore Family?

Had they ever competed with them?

Had they ever stolen resources from them?

Had any junior from their families ever insulted a Salvatore?

Their hearts grew colder.

They began silently making calculations.

A power like this must not be provoked in the slightest.

Derek’s face slowly split into a broad smile.

Relief washed through him.

He had gambled correctly.

And somehow—

He had struck gold.

He had originally believed Victor was merely an ordinary Stellar Sovereign expert.

Never in his wildest imagination had he expected such terrifying power.

Perhaps even Lunar Sovereign.

Dawn was saved.

The empire was saved.

More importantly—

The Salvatore Family had appeared at the exact moment they were needed most.

Compared to Derek’s overwhelming joy, Alaric felt as though his soul had fallen into an abyss.

His entire body trembled.

The star river behind him grew dim.

His face became ashen.

”This is impossible...”

His voice cracked.

”How could Dawn have someone like you?!”

He desperately tried to move.

Nothing happened.

Even with all his strength, he couldn’t move an inch beneath Victor’s pressure.

It seemed that even a Stellar Sovereign Great Perfection expert was no different from a pig or dog before him.

Then Victor spoke.

”The Azure Sovereign Kingdom...”

His voice drifted down softly.

”How interesting.”

”I will pay you a visit soon.”

Alaric’s eyes snapped wide open.

Despair.

Helplessness.

Fury.

All of them exploded inside his chest.

His pupils contracted violently.

He knew exactly what those words meant.

Victor was coming.

The Salvatore Family was coming.

And the Azure Sovereign Kingdom had just made itself an enemy of something it could never afford to fight.

But at that exact moment—

Something changed.

BOOM!!

Alaric’s dim star river suddenly erupted with unearthly brilliance.

The darkness behind him was illuminated by countless stars.

Fragments of law began emerging from within those stars.

One.

Two.

Ten.

Hundreds.

They connected together.

The incomplete law began becoming whole.

The surrounding frost exploded outward.

The temperature plunged even further.

Derek’s smile vanished.

The other Stellar Sovereign experts looked toward Alaric in disbelief.

”What...”

Someone whispered.

”Is he breaking through?”

The law of frost materialized across the heavens.

It spread through the void like an endless white ocean.

Then—

A moon shadow slowly emerged from within the star river.

At first, it was nothing more than a faint outline.

But it quickly became clearer.

Round.

Cold.

Ancient.

Majestic.

Under Victor’s suffocating pressure, Alaric had actually broken through to the Lunar Sovereign Realm!

The onlookers’ faces changed dramatically.

None of them had expected such a thing.

Nobody had imagined that the pressure of death itself would become the catalyst for Alaric’s breakthrough.

The shackles that had imprisoned him for countless years were being torn apart.

His aura surged.

His shattered knees began healing.

His aged face gradually regained vitality.

Wrinkles disappeared.

His skin tightened.

His hunched body straightened.

His white hair darkened.

The old man who had been crushed beneath Victor’s pressure now looked several decades younger.

The law of frost supported his body as he slowly rose.

His eyes burned with renewed arrogance.

Then Alaric threw his head back and laughed.

”HAHAHA!!”

His laughter echoed across the frozen battlefield.

”I truly have you to thank for this!!”

”If not for you, I never would have broken through!!”

Alaric Bluestone threw his head back and laughed.

The sound rolled across the shattered heavens, carrying an excitement he could no longer suppress.

Only moments ago, he had been standing at the edge of death.

Now, he could feel something entirely different coursing through his body.

Cold.

Pure.

Absolute.

The law of frost flowed through every inch of his being like a vast river of ice. His star sea had undergone a fundamental transformation. What had once been countless stars was now converging into a majestic moon shadow, hanging behind him like an ancient celestial body.

He slowly clenched his fist.

The surrounding space cracked beneath the pressure.

”So this is the Lunar Saint Realm!” Alaric Bluestone’s eyes shone with almost fanatical excitement. ”A star sea transformed into a moon, wielding the laws... the feeling... it’s like being a god!!”

His voice trembled slightly.

Not from fear.

From exhilaration.

He had spent countless years struggling against the limits of the Stellar Sovereign Realm. He had thought the next step would require endless years of cultivation.

Yet a single confrontation had pushed him through that final barrier.

His frost law surged again.

Every divine art he knew.

Every cultivation technique he had painstakingly mastered.

Even the smallest movement of his spiritual power was undergoing a profound transformation.

It was as though an entirely new world had opened before him.

Even Victor, who had seemed so overwhelmingly powerful before, now felt like someone Alaric could challenge.
