The chant lasted exactly ten seconds before everyone adopted a meditative stance in the sky. All cultivators began circulating their energies and refining their inner power, preparing themselves for the battle that loomed just beyond the horizon.
Cain stood at the highest point of the sky, his golden eyes glowing as his mind expanded in all directions. With the assistance of the [A.I. Chip Module] and its scanning force fields, he observed the world with unparalleled clarity. Whatever was coming, he would detect it before it arrived. He would be ready.
Silence reigned—not just in the sky, but across the entire landmass of the Everlife Continent. Every village, town, and city had been evacuated, with the populace relocated into fortified strongholds and vast underground shelters maintained within the headquarters of the three Lord-Tier Organizations.
Cain had no intention of allowing this war to bring about the level of devastation the Omega War had wrought upon the Endlessdeath Continent. He remembered it all too well—the oceans boiled, the skies burned, and trillions of innocent lives were lost. Even though he always pushed his fights to the sky and away from populated lands, the rest of the Prima Deities were not so careful, and he would not allow that to happen within his domains.
Every single shelter within the Lord Tier Organizations’ headquarters had been reinforced with Tribulation Enhancements. Each stone, pillar, and wall had been saturated with world energy, making it so durable that they could withstand a direct strike from a Peak Prima Deity. The effort to achieve such a feat had been enormous, but under Astrid’s leadership, the Enhancers of the Scarlet Path had completed the task with incredible precision and efficiency.
Of course, the mobilization wasn’t solely to preserve lives—it was also to protect one of their most critical advantages. The people themselves, even if not warriors, would be able to help the forces of the Scarlet Path to face the enemies in a way none of them were aware of yet.
Exactly seven days after Cain had completed the Tribulation Enhancements on the Prima Deities, he opened his eyes and looked toward the horizon. One by one, the other Prima Deities did the same, followed shortly by even the Divine Cultivators, as a growing pressure became impossible to ignore.
The enemy did not conceal their presence. On the contrary, they flaunted it. A wave of malevolent energy surged across the sky, casting the entire continent into darkness. It was as if death itself had taken physical form and was marching forward to claim the world. The firmament darkened, swallowing all light, and a shadow unlike any other descended upon the land.
And yet, no fear stirred in the hearts of the warriors of the Scarlet Path.
Their eyes glowed with blazing scarlet flames, their willpower burning like an undying star. Even in the face of an all-consuming void, they stood tall. Their fighting spirit refused to flicker. This was what they had trained for. This was their reckoning.
It didn’t take long before the enemy army finally came into view.
At the lowest level, millions of Divine Cultivators stretched across the land like a tidal wave of darkness. Each one wore a cruel, bloodthirsty grin. They knew that their individual strength wouldn’t change the outcome of the battle. Their mission was simple: destroy everything in sight. They were ordered to kill every man, woman, and child they encountered with the utmost brutality. The command had been clear—everything touched by the Scarlet Path must be reduced to ash. It was not just war. It was punishment. A lesson to the world about the cost of defying the status quo.
Rylanor, Magnus, and the rest of the Scarlet Path’s Divine Cultivators focused their gaze on the incoming army. They were fewer than fourteen thousand—outnumbered over a hundred to one. And yet, there was no fear. Only determination. Their fists clenched tightly, some until blood dripped from their palms, but no one faltered. This was not just a battle—it was a test of everything they had become.
Hovering just above the army of Divine Cultivators were twenty-one figures: the Prima Deities of the invading force. Each radiated a terrifying aura, and even the weakest among them stood at the Late Prima Deity stage. Seven of them had reached the Peak. Their presence alone distorted the fabric of the sky. They didn’t need to roar or curse. Their calm, composed expressions said it all—they had come to annihilate everything.
Their eyes gleamed with arrogance and fatal certainty. In their minds, the battle was already won. Victory was theirs, and their enemies had no hope of survival.
These twenty-one did not hail from mere Lord-Tier Organizations. Each belonged to an Omega Heaven. To them, the Scarlet Path’s Prima Deities were little more than lambs sent to the slaughter.
But the Scarlet Path was not so easily broken.
The Sky Sovereign, Alucard, Gabriel, Zero Mint, Pation, Karter, Lancer, Terent, and Lucrezia rose into the skies, their gazes unwavering. They met the enemy’s overwhelming auras head-on. They had trained, evolved, and received blessings and techniques beyond their wildest dreams—all for this singular battle. Psychic power and spirit force surged from them in waves, each one shining like a radiant star in the firmament.
Then, above the Prima Deities—at the highest altitude of the sky—three figures appeared.
Their power shook the universe.
They moved with silence, yet their mere presence warped the cosmic rules of the world. The one at the center, leading the entire army, was unmistakable. His eyes radiated madness and boundless bloodlust. His heart was blackened by revenge, consumed by the desire to see Cain fall.
Divine Calamity.
His aura burned with terrifying vitality and soul force—stronger than it had been during their battle on the shores of the Endlessdeath Continent. Cain had not exaggerated when he told his people that he had burned half of Divine Calamity’s soul. He had known the extent of the injuries he inflicted. And yet, the man now stood more powerful than ever.
Cain’s golden eyes narrowed, focus sharpening as a flicker of enlightenment surged through him.
