From Outcast to Overlord The Unyielding Heir (Leander Ashcroft) novel Chapter 460

Leander snatched the glowing disc with a single hand. Stardust flared in his eyes as the sky above twisted and churned.

Reefus' eyes narrowed sharply. His Sun-and-Moon Halo, born of immense providence, fused with the Church's faith, and honed by the rhythm of day, night, and stars, radiated power.

He had never expected Leander to confront it directly.

Shock flickered across his features but vanished almost instantly. A cold smile curved his lips.

"Jeff, don't get arrogant. Do you really think the Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel is just this?"

The words left his mouth as his hands traced a new sigil.

"Detonate!"

The Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel had two layers of offense—Suppress first, then Explode.

Its core brimmed with concentrated holy light. When unleashed, the force would annihilate everything in its path. Even an Infernal Crown Transcendent at peak strength would be torn apart if hit head-on. Anyone nearby—even those above Infernal Crown Transcendent—would face a severe risk of death.

Leander's palm remained pressed against the disc. If the Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel detonated now, he would be engulfed in the blast instantly.

"What?"

Reefus muttered the command "Detonate," yet the Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel remained inert. Confusion sharpened his gaze. Somehow, he had lost control.

"I told you—your attacks aren't even worth the effort."

A faint smile curved Leander's lips as he thrust forward, his power surging through him.

The massive disc whipped backward, accelerating faster than before, hurtling toward the three Chief Arbitrators.

"What?"

All three paled. No one had anticipated the Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel—cast by Reefus, a master of top-tier spiritual strength—being seized and turned against them.

"Hmph!"

Jeframon, wielding his light spear, snorted coldly. He jabbed repeatedly, thirty-six thrusts in a single second. Each spear strike, a lethal burst of force, erupted in sparks as it hammered the Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel's surface.

The Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel merely trembled and surged forward again, barely affected.

Orianna readied herself to strike in tandem, preparing to block it. But Reefus intercepted Leander's next move.

"This isn't good—retreat!"

He barked, lunging backward. The others reacted a heartbeat later, attempting to withdraw—but they were too slow.

"Detonate."

Leander breathed the command and pulled his palm back. Before the three could escape, the Sacred Sun-Moon Wheel shattered.

Boom!

A tidal wave of holy light roared across the sky, radiating outward. The shockwave ripped through the air, shaking everything nearby.

The three Chief Arbitrators were caught in its force. Each groaned, blasted back dozens of yards.

The holy light rolled across the heavens for a full minute before gradually fading. When they looked up again, their expressions had changed.

All three—beings beyond Infernal Crown Transcendent—had blood at the corners of their mouths. Jeframon, the eldest and closest to the explosion, was drenched in red along one side. He had taken the brunt of the blast.

On the ground, astonished gasps spread like wildfire. Moments ago, many considered Leander on the defensive. Now disbelief shone in every eye.

Halia, the Flame Goddess, stared unblinkingly at Leander, her eyes aflame. A chill of fear crept over her.
