Chapter 148. Supreme Martial Realm
I entered the hospital room and gazed upon my Younger Sibling’s face, lost in deep slumber, before manifesting the Chaos Eye once more.
Moving to a desired location would prove difficult, but I needed to confirm the proper dimensional coordinates. It would also serve to transmit a signal to the Younger Sibling I would soon meet.
My vision warped as my consciousness transcended dimensions through my Younger Sibling’s mindscape. The barrier I had previously destroyed had been completely restored, and upon meeting me again, as if fear had been learned, it willingly opened itself and guided me beyond into that world.
Though only three to four days had passed in this world’s time, with a time ratio of 1,000:1, over ten years had elapsed on the other side.
Yet little had changed. My Younger Sibling still spent their time alone in a pavilion atop a mountain range, where verdant foliage flourished beautifully, tilting a teacup in hand.
Heaven and earth—only I reign supreme.
The words seemed to fit perfectly, and as I swallowed the overwhelming emotion, my gaze shifted from my Younger Sibling to the world itself.
Lacking proficiency, even dimensional traversal would make precise positioning impossible. But it mattered not. I suspected that even if I suddenly appeared before my Younger Sibling, they—whose memories had been partially sealed by their unique ability—would not welcome me warmly.
‘After all, I’m the one trying to forcibly break their unique ability.’
Perhaps they would erase my memories and reject me? That would be preferable. Even if not outright rejection, they would likely offer no welcome.
I drew a sharp breath and activated the power of Skill: Infinity Gate, gathering approximate dimensional information to confirm the coordinates.
Once all work was complete, I turned my gaze again. My Younger Sibling had set down their teacup and was now looking directly at me—our eyes met.
Eyes black as pitch, sharp as a masterwork blade, fierce as a monster, arrogant as an emperor—yet within those pupils lingered the faintest traces of my Younger Sibling’s purity and innocence.
Hoping they might recall even that scant remaining memory, I smiled toward my Younger Sibling.
-So it’s that gaze. How did you discover the location where I reside?
I could not answer. I simply committed the sight of my Younger Sibling—now grown so much taller—to memory until the very end.
-Well… so be it. Seeing you observe me like this, there will surely come a day when we meet again.
The absolute being known as the Heavenly Demon Emperor raised their hand. They could not kill or capture me, a phantom existence.
It was more accurate to call me consciousness rather than soul, for I possessed no physical form whatsoever.
-I will remember that gaze. Furthermore, should you come seeking me out even once more, I will find your existence by any means necessary and shatter your very soul.
My Younger Sibling spoke thus and traced their hand through empty space, and my consciousness was ejected from their mindscape.
It was regrettable, but presented no problem. I slowly steadied my breathing and checked the dimensional coordinates stored in my skill.
“Let’s go.”
The skill manifested. I suppressed my trembling heart and moved my tense body.
Arrogant magical power was rapidly consumed in an instant. Considering that dimensional traversal was an enormous undertaking, it was not an exorbitant price. Yet having my origin-class D-rank stats depleted by over ninety-five percent was nearly unbearable.
Overwhelming exhaustion crashed through my entire body as a gate to a new world materialized before me.
〚Infinity Gate: Dimension – Supreme Martial Realm〛
The simple designation came to mind as I hastily retrieved the finest mana potion from my inventory, drained it in one gulp, and then—my body slightly recovered—without hesitation, I thrust myself into the gate.
〚Dimensional traversal in progress…〛
〚Setting time ratio…〛
〚Error!〛
〚A time ratio has already been set!〛
〚This is a time set by an ability below your rank. Would you like to change it?〛
I nodded at the System’s question. I had no way of knowing how long it would take to kill my Younger Sibling. Killing an absolute being who reigns supreme in a world bearing the name “Supreme” was fundamentally impossible from the start.
The only way for me to kill my Younger Sibling was if they recovered their memories and chose to return of their own will.
That meant time would be required.
“Reverse it.”
So I would change it. One day here would become approximately three years there. I could not extend it further.
Changing it to 1,000:1 while lacking proficiency was only possible because it was already set.
I could increase it further next time, but for now, it’s beyond my capacity. I’m already mentally exhausted.
〚Settings have been modified.〛
Several messages appeared sequentially before abruptly ceasing. Simultaneously, a brilliant light engulfed my entire body.
I arrived in the Supreme Martial Realm.
***
〚A Remarkable Achievement!〛
〚You have traversed dimensions to the highest tier through your own power, without anyone’s assistance!〛
〚Title: Dimensional Traverser [Legend – EX+] has been created!〛
The first thing I confirmed was the System’s congratulations, which signified that my skill had manifested properly.
〚A Hidden Quest has been triggered by your title ability!〛
〚Hidden Quest: Return
Rank: Mythic
Grade: ??
Description: You have transcended the immense and formidable barrier known as dimensions and traversed across them. However, it is never easy to abandon the world to which you originally belonged. Accumulate appropriate Achievements in this new dimension and return. Privileges shall be granted to you proportional to the time spent in this dimension and your Achievements!
Objective: Return to Dimension – Earth (0/1)
Upon Success: Title upgraded to Returnee [Mythic – EX+], rewards distributed according to performance
Upon Failure: Permanent penalty – unable to traverse to Dimension Earth〛
The Quest triggered by the Dimensional Traverser title was straightforward: experience and accomplish as much as possible here, then return to Earth.
In doing so, I would receive compensation worthy of the effort.
It was simple. It was something I would have done eventually anyway. Though this dimension is mysterious, beautiful, and magnificent—and though my Younger Sibling’s soul resides here—Earth remains my true home.
There was absolutely no reason not to return when rewards were being offered.
The messages didn’t end there. As if eager to bestow gifts, they continued to arrive.
〚A perfect and complete dimension where the System does not exist!〛
〚Highest Tier Dimension – Supreme Martial Realm〛
〚A dimension capable of Abyss Realm start upon incorporation into the Abyss!〛
To that extent? Then this place must be teeming with divine beings—at minimum dozens, perhaps hundreds or thousands.
Learning this fact made me swallow hard. But it’s fine.
‘My Younger Sibling is the supreme ruler of this dimension!’
They’ll remember me, won’t they? Being our cute and beloved Younger Sibling, they’ll naturally remember quickly and protect me.
…Probably?
〚You have guided the System to this perfect and magnificent dimension that the System had failed to discover!〛
〚An Incomprehensible Achievement!〛
〚Unique Authority: Vanguard is granted as a reward!〛
〚Authority: Vanguard
Rank: Origin
Grade: SSS+
LV 1 (0%)
Description: The ultimate reward given to you who advance ahead of the System. You shall always surpass others in whatever you do.
Ability
– All Proficiency Gains +10%
-All Stats Increase +10%
-All Talents Increase +10%
-All Rewards Increase +10%
-All
-LV 2 Unlocked〛
This was a reward bestowed by the System itself. I had sensed its favor toward me from long ago, and now it granted me an extraordinary ability brimming with its intentions.
‘Others must have experienced similar circumstances….’
What was certain was that I had received a reward incomparable to what they had obtained.
I couldn’t tell if I was fortunate or cursed. It would have been better if my Younger Sibling had received it instead. Unfortunately, when I performed dimensional traversal, I abandoned the System along with my body bound to Earth, effectively bringing the System to this dimension.
Now the System would establish itself in this dimension, Abyss Gates would open, and monsters would emerge.
I harbored no concerns. Earth, a remote backwater, paled in comparison to this dimension—which was so mighty and exalted that it could rightfully be called one of the Divine Realms.
In fact, this would be a blessing for the martial artists dwelling here. It would provide them a foundation upon which to grow further.
I accepted the System’s reward with satisfaction. Yet this was not the end. The final true reward remained—the reward granted by my own ability.
〚Skill: Infinity Gate has collected a new dimension into the Codex!〛
〚Collecting the dimension’s coordinates!〛
〚Collecting the dimension’s rank!〛
.
.
.
〚The Supreme Martial Realm: Supreme Martial Realm [Origin] has been collected into the Codex!〛
〚A privilege is granted for Codex collection!〛
〚Searching for rewards related to the dimension: Supreme Martial Realm!〛
〚Searching for the most suitable reward for the owner!〛
〚Searching…〛
I swallowed hard. A reward related to the Supreme Martial Realm? There could only be one.
A martial art or a talent related to the martial way.
I clasped my hands together desperately and offered a prayer. Please! Please! Grant me that reward I desire!
And my prayer reached the System, and the Infinity Gate Codex bestowed upon me the privilege I desired most.
〚Privilege – Unique Ability: Evolution of Rank and Manifestation of Authority for Limitless Heavenly Meridian [Mythic-EX]〛
“Yes!!!”
The Limitless Heavenly Meridian was my foundational ability, the very first I had obtained, and it had profoundly influenced my journey to this point. Yet it was the only ability that had never manifested as an Authority.
In terms of pure capability, it rivaled Authority itself, so I hadn’t felt too regretful, though it was a waste. If this ability evolved further and became an Authority?
Especially now, having created and mastered three martial arts, I desperately needed the Limitless Heavenly Meridian to manifest as an Authority.
And the privilege from collecting the dimension granted me exactly that as a reward.
〚Unique Ability: Limitless Heavenly Meridian evolves.〛
〚Unique Ability: Limitless Divine Meridian [Origin-EX] has been created.〛
〚Authority manifestation activates!〛
〚Authority: Limitless Divine Meridian has been created!〛
〚Authority: Limitless Divine Meridian
Rank: Origin
Grade: Origin
LV 1 (0%)
Description: A body that embodies the Limitless—that which knows no end—and the Martial Extreme, the pinnacle of all combat. Yet now, this very flesh harbored a power that transcended even the Divine.
Abilities
-Stat: Limitless (Source) Generation
-Stat: Divine Meridian (Source) Generation
-Stat: Limitless and Stat: Divine Meridian always maintain equal values.
-Stat: Limitless surpasses one grade tier. (One-time only)
-Elevates the grade of all Martial-related abilities by two tiers.
-Hidden Effect: Elevates the grade of enlightenment gained upon reaching the Realm of Self-Transcendence by one tier.
-LV 2 Unlocked〛
Satisfying. The Limitless surpasses its grade first—from D- to D. Now the letter S truly felt within reach.
As a bonus, the newly manifested Divine Meridian stat and Pride both ascended in grade.
Subsequently, all my Martial abilities achieved a single-tier grade elevation.
〚Skill: Flowing Water Transformation [Narrative-SS+] evolves one tier under the influence of Unique Ability: Limitless Celestial Meridian!〛
〚Skill: Water Dragon Flow Sword [Heroic-SS+] has evolved!〛
〚Unique Ability: Solar Divine Art [Origin-S-] grade ascends!〛
〚Grade accumulates!〛
Unfortunately, a single grade elevation was insufficient to transform Solar Divine Art into an Authority, yet I harbored no regret.
Since it remained incomplete, I believed that with further cultivation, it would inevitably become an Authority.
With satisfaction flooding through me, I stirred my body and began moving to survey the place I had arrived at.
