Sovereign of the Firmaments

'Swoosh'

'Boom'

The star beams from all the star lynxes that were rushing towards King Aston finally broke his barrier completely and directly landed on his body, making a huge explosion."

'Cough'

The smoke cleared within no time as King Aston tried very hard to stand on his feet; however, he could not help but fall to the ground while coughing out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn you, beast. You fooled me."

King Aston used the huge sword in his hand to stand up as he furiously looked at the star lynx and cursed it.

"I am not as cunning as you, humans. I am trying my level best to become one."

Star lynx scoffed at King Aston as it slowly walked towards him.

The thing is, the star lynx didn't have any plans on giving up on the challenge because its pride would not allow it.

It just used those words to let King Aston's guard down for a moment and the moment he fell for it, the star lynx used it to break the barrier in a single go before blasting away King Aston.

"So, are you giving up now?"

Star lynx didn't bother to wait for King Aston's reply as it asked him whether he was giving up or not?

"In your dreams."

King Aston knew that giving up now was definitely not an option for him.

Even though he would be alive after giving up the fight against the star lynx, all his battle prowess would be transferred to the star lynx and he would become a completely normal human.

So, King Aston decided to fight until he was killed; instead of giving up.

"Good. Since you have made a decision, I will quickly send you on your way."

Star lynx didn't waste any time as it was worried about the Silverstone town, wondering how it was fairing against the 100 royal generals, waiting to destroy it.

'Kacha'

'Munch'

It directly munched on King Aston in two bites as it enjoyed the death of the strongest human in the Barren firmament.

…..

Back at the Silverstone town.

'Swoosh'

The black clouds covering the Silverstone town disappeared as a light descended from the heavens covering the entire Silverstone town.

Wherever the light fell, that place would be instantly restored within a matter of seconds and the barrier around the town also started recovering.

Also, the minor injuries on the bodies of Lucas' followers, spirit beasts and the townsmen also started healing.

"The members of the Crestlance family attacked a small town governed by the Hellmore family; however, the Hellmore family successfully protected themselves while killing its enemies."

As everyone was looking at the miraculous scene in front of their eyes, a voice resounded from the heavens as everyone listened to it carefully.

"The heavens are dissatisfied with the behaviour of the Crestlance family and demoted its rank into a Baron family."

"Whereas the Hellmore family showed huge potential and made the Heavens greatly satisfied. So, it will be promoted into a Duke family."

'What?'

'Crestlance family is demoted to Baron family?'

'Our Hellmore family is promoted to Duke family?'

'If Hellmore family is promoted to Duke family, then isn't it the highest-ranking family in the entire Barren firmament?'

Everyone was shocked by the huge statements made by the heavens; however, they were very happy with those statements.

Because not only did their enemies suffer greatly but their family was also directly promoted from Earl grade to Duke grade while skipping Marquis grade.

So, of course, they were happy with it.

'Master, did you see that? The Hellmore family has reached Duke grade within such a short time when it was in the hands of a young master?'

Bernard's face was completely covered with tears as he fell to his knees and muttered, 'Back then, it took us 10 years to reach the Duke grade; however, it's been only a couple of months.'

'Mother, I helped the young master in reaching the Duke family and will try my best in reaching the Sovereign grade family.'

Beck also looked at the sky as he thought about the promise she made to her mother.

'...'

As for Lucas, he was speechless as he never thought that the Hellmore family would become the Duke family in such a short time.

Moreover, as the family head, he would naturally become a Duke and in history, he must be the youngest duke in the Barren firmament.

'Now, let's see which family or town dares to blacklist my Silverstone town.'

Lucas scoffed at the other towns and families that stopped trading and blacklisted the Silverstone town while revealing a devilish smile on his face.

"The Silverstone town will be upgraded to a City and it will become the temporary royal city of the Barren firmament."

'What?'

As everyone was thinking that the heavens had already given them enough, the voice announced another thing that made everyone's jaws drop.

As soon as the announcement was finished, the entire Silverstone town was filled with golden light as new buildings and structures started appearing as the radius of the town increased more than 10 times.

'Swoosh'

At the same time, Lucas' soul was pulled into the familiar space.

'Why am I here again? Am I getting even more rewards now?'

Lucas thought about his rank being upgraded to Duke grade because of his family's grade and he was very much excited for the information he was going to get with his upgraded status.

'Since you are now an official Duke, you will be given more information.'

As Lucas expected, the voice resounded in his head as he felt a flash of light entered his forehead.

'Aargh'

Even though he was prepared for the pain, he was still unable to endure it as he groaned.

'Looks like I am getting tons of information. Good…good.'

Nevertheless, the pain disappeared within a matter of seconds as Lucas was excited about all the information he was getting from the heavens.

'Looks like I can find my brother sooner than I expected.'
