King Aji Saka undeniably holds the advantage over Duke Amardipura Arya Kemuning. As the Dragon Emperor of the Beginning, Aji Saka's divine energy originates directly from the ancient origins of the Milky Way Dragon Realm. However, as the true protagonist of this epic—continuing the grand narrative arc begun in The Nine Dragons of Heaven and Earth—Duke Arya Kemuning possesses several unique tactical advantages, profound bloodline arts, and external mechanisms that bridge the gap.
Dual Primordial Bloodlines: As the Prince of the Primordial Sunda Empire—born to the Primordial Light Emperor Dewa Niskala and the Primordial Void Empress Larasati Candra Kirana—Arya manipulates Primordial Fire and Gravitational Distortion. Supreme Swordsmanship Lineage: Before becoming a renowned swordsman in Ame Village, Arya trained directly under Raterasu, one of the five legendary Sword Gods of the Milky Way Galaxy's Dragon Kingdom. Invincible System: Arya is bound to the magical Invincible/Invincible System, granting him supernatural tactical foresight, cheat-level growth, and strategic adaptability during battle. Part II: The Battle That Pierces the Sky: The narrative intertwines with the perilous journey of Princess Shinta, who sets out to find the seven legendary servants inherited from the Dragon God. Accompanied by these seven servants—the Seven elite Dragon Slayer Swordsmen—Shinta stands shoulder to shoulder with Arya Kemuning. Together, they clash against the formidable Kaguya Akemono Yume and the Seven Legendary Dragons in an apocalyptic battle known throughout history as the Battle That Pierces the Sky. This epic confrontation tests their absolute resolve, fighting for justice and freedom across the Five Realms. [
Part III: The Fall of the Ancestral Continent and the Oath of Rebuilding Long before their meeting, Dewi Ningrum Maharani stood as a symbol of supreme majesty in her ancestral homeland. Her realm was not merely a kingdom, but the heart of an ancient civilization spanning thousands of years, holding cosmic secrets and supernatural arts. However, during a tragic rainy season, her peaceful realm was suddenly devastated by a brutal foreign invasion. The invaders employed unknown and deadly Sacred Weapons of the Dragon God (Pusaka Dewa Naga) and ruthless tactics. Defeated and exiled, Ningrum became a wanderer in a foreign land. It was in this foreign land that she met Duke Arya Kemuning. Moved by his plight and bound to him by an ancient destiny, Arya devised a grand strategy. Utilizing his tactical prowess, his swordsmanship, and the power of the Invincible System, the Duke vows to reverse fate, defeat the foreign invaders, and rebuild Dewi Ningrum's kingdom from the ruins. (This chapter marks the core storyline of Book 4 / Book 9 in the 15-Book Saga: "Five Swordsmen and a Dragon")
Section I: The Balance of Cosmic Might and Tactical Supremacy
Within the divine hierarchy of the multiverse, raw power does not follow a simple linear path. Among the supreme entities who shape the destiny of the realms, a complex dynamic of power exists:
[ THE TIER OF ABSOLUTE MIGHT ] || +-------------------------++-------------------------+ | | [RAW POWER ADVANTAGE] [OVERALL ADVANTAGE] - Prabu Aji Saka > Adipati Arya - Adipati Raksa > Aji Saka - Adipati Arya > Kenji Akirayama - Adipati Raksa > Kenji Akirayama - Adipati Arya > Adipati Raksa
In terms of pure, unadulterated cosmic force, Prabu Aji Saka holds the advantage over Adipati Amardipura Arya Kemuning. As the Primordial Beginnings Dragon Emperor, Aji Saka's celestial energy draws directly from the ancient origins of the Milky Way Dragon Realm.
Yet, Adipati Arya Kemuning surpasses both Kenji Akirayama and Adipati Raksa in combat flexibility and tactical mastery. Meanwhile, the grand monarch Adipati Raksa commands an ancient authority that allows him to stand above both Aji Saka and Kenji Akirayama.
As the central protagonist of this epic—continuing the narrative arc from Nine Dragons of Heaven and Earth—Arya Kemuning bridges any gap in raw power through three unique pillars:
Dual Primordial Bloodline: Born to the Primordial Light Emperor Dewa Niskala and Primordial Void Empress Larasati Candra Kirana, Arya controls both Primordial Fire and Gravitational Distortion.
Supreme Sword Martial Lineage: Arya trained directly under Raterasu, one of the five legendary Sword Gods of the Milky Way Galaxy Dragon Kingdom, before becoming a famed swordmaster in Ame Village.
The Unbeatable System: Arya is bound to the Invincible System, granting him tactical foresight, rapid cultivation growth, and real-time strategic adaptability during catastrophic battles.
Section II: The Gathering at the Celestial Ridge
The clouds above the Ancestral Continent turned a turbulent gold and obsidian. Following her quest across the dimensions, Princess Shinta successfully gathered the Seven Dragon-Slaying Swordsmen—the elite servants inherited from the Dragon God. Standing at her side was Adipati Arya Kemuning, his dual-elemental aura distorting the gravity beneath their feet.
Before them stood the grand, terrifying alliance of the 12 Sovereign Gods, led by the shadowy presence of Kaguya Akemono Yume and supported by the Seven Legendary Dragons.
"Today, the chains of destiny break," Princess Shinta declared, drawing her ceremonial blade as her servants took their combat formations.
Section III: The Clash That Pierced the Heavens
The battle began not with a clash of steel, but with a shockwave that tore open the sky. The Seven Legendary Dragons roared in unison, breathing streams of cosmic dragon fire and abyssal mist toward the Alliance of Light.
Responding instantly, the Seven Dragon-Slaying Swordsmen stepped forward. Combining their specialized anti-dragon sword techniques—learned to suppress the ancient lineages—they formed an impenetrable barrier of blade-qi that sliced through the incoming elemental breath.
Simultaneously, Kaguya Akemono Yume unleashed her ancient lineage art, summoning dark spatial rifts to trap Shinta and her protectors.
"You dare defy the grand design of the 12 Sovereign Gods?" Kaguya's voice echoed across the firmament, cold and absolute.
Before the rifts could swallow them, Adipati Arya Kemuning activated the Invincible System.
[SYSTEM ALERT: ENEMY GRAVITATIONAL & SPATIAL ANCHOR DETECTED] [COUNTERMEASURE ACTIVATED: PRIMORDIAL FIRE + GRAVITY WARP]
Arya slammed his foot onto the ancient megalithic ground. Crimson-black fire erupted from his body, while heavy gravitational waves reversed the spatial rifts created by Kaguya. The ground beneath the 12 Sovereign Gods crumbled into dust, floating upward into a massive cosmic vortex.
Using the opening created by Arya's system-assisted strike, the Seven Dragon-Slaying Swordsmen breached the frontline of the Seven Legendary Dragons. One by one, their sacred blades pierced through dragon scale and ancient hide, neutralizing the draconic aura that had suppressed the realm for centuries.
With the dragon line broken, Arya surged forward, his sword wrapped in both Primordial Fire and the blade-qi of Raterasu's legacy. He struck directly at the center of the 12 Sovereign Gods' formation, shattering their collective barrier and forcing Kaguya Akemono Yume to retreat into the deep void.
The epic confrontation—forever recorded in the archives of the Five Realms as the Battle Piercing the Heavens—ended with the sky cleared of dark mist. Through raw tactical genius, system guidance, and the unwavering unity of Shinta and her seven swordsmen, the Alliance of Light secured a monumental victory, paving the way for justice and the restoration of the Ancestral Continent.
