📜 Chapter 7: Riftwyrm Ascension

⚔️ Southern Border – Celestial Riftfront

The ground split beneath storm-laden skies. Black lightning tore through the heavens as the colossal Riftwyrm emerged—its scales a mirror of fire and frost, its wings warping the laws of space.

Skal'Ruun – The Ruin of Cycles

➤ Power Level: ???

➤ Origin: Dimensional Faultline / Reconstructed Beast God Essence

➤ Passive: Time Fracture Pulse – Slowly destabilizes world timeflow within 50 km

➤ Targeting: [Frostfire Judgment Signature] – Qian Tian

Qian Tian hovered in the air, divine halberd in hand, his cloak rippling against astral winds. Behind him stood Qian Renxue, Ghost Douluo, and the full Seraphim Guard.

Qian Renxue's twelve wings spread wide. Her aura burned like the sun.

"The beast's very presence is poisoning time," she murmured.

Qian Tian's voice was calm. "Then we end it quickly. Spirit Hall—Formation: Heaven-Sealing Array!"

🛡️ Battlefield – Collapse Zone

System Alert: Riftwyrm's Core Shielding Detected. Weak Point: Celestial Node on Skull Crown.

➤ Suggestion: Trigger a Domain Collapse Chain via synchronized elemental bombardment.

"Xuanyin," Qian Tian called. "I'll draw it in. You freeze time itself around its crown. Renxue—pierce with solar fusion. Douluo team—keep the distortion fields under control."

The coordinated assault began.

Qian Tian flashed forward in a blur of divine afterimages. His halberd crashed into the wyrm's side, searing through its temporal shield.

Xuanyin raised her staff, summoning Absolute Glacial Lockdown. Time froze for an instant—enough for Renxue to strike.

Renxue's wings folded inward, compressing solar essence into a single, blinding beam—Solar Flare Javelin.

Critical Hit! ➤ Celestial Node Cracked. Core exposure in 7.3 seconds.

Skal'Ruun screamed, and the very sky bled. The beast's chest split open, revealing a glowing, crystalline heart pulsing with stolen world energy.

System Prompt: Core Vulnerable. Engage for Final Strike?

➤ Confirmation: Y/N

Qian Tian whispered, "Confirmed."

With a flick of his halberd, divine runes etched themselves into the sky. Frostfire Judgment Halberd – True Skill: [Heaven's Banishment].

He launched it.

Time stopped.

The halberd pierced Skal'Ruun's core. Light exploded across the battlefield.

The beast howled—its voice echoing through dimensions—before crumbling into mist, its divine core floating gently toward Qian Tian.

System Notification:

Qian Tian held the core, eyes burning.

"This isn't the end," he muttered. "It's the first move."

A young man stood before a polished mirror. His silver hair shimmered unnaturally. Behind him, the wall was etched with forbidden formations.

He smiled.

System Alert:

➤ "First Convergence Detected. Qian Tian has claimed a Law Fragment."

➤ Warning: Your timeline dominance is at risk.

The young man turned, revealing heterochromatic eyes—one golden, one pitch black.

"Let him collect pieces," he whispered. "I already hold the game board."
