Further away,
Yiluo Xi and others were rapidly approaching on a private plane.
Their speed was slower than An Jianyou, who commanded the Tri-Star Mysterious Evil, mainly because boarding the plane and circumventing the airspace control of the Country of Raging Waves took some time.
They weren’t too far from the ancient castle where the ritual was to be performed.
When great terror surged in their hearts, they suppressed the panic and pressed their faces against the window to look out.
They then saw the sky filled with fleshy growths and streaks of lightning darting through the clouds, tearing through the flesh.
“The instructor has made a move!”
“After all, only the instructor has such formidable strength.”
The girls’ eyes, like White Frost’s, sparkled with admiration.
Yiluo Xi looked out and quietly clenched her fists.
“Is this the true strength of the instructor?”
“I am still far behind. I need to work harder, to become stronger.”
“One day, I will surpass the instructor and stand at the pinnacle of the world.”
“Hahahahaha——”
Lost in her aspirations, Yiluo Xi became increasingly entranced.
…
In another place, on another private plane,
Xing Jing Lei and his comrades were speeding towards the final site of the ritual, where they needed to support the comrades-in-arms still fighting on the front lines.
But before they could arrive, the far ends of the sky began to change, with winds and clouds swirling and red light piercing the heavens.
A great terror rose within their hearts.
An ominous premonition told them that they must prevent this at all costs; otherwise, a great disaster, a calamity that could endanger the entire Blue Star, would descend!
But how could they stop it?
They were still a great distance from the final site of the ritual, and even from afar, they could faintly sense the impending great terror.
It made their hearts palpitate!
But as quickly as the great terror appeared, it also dissipated just as fast.
Before the great terror receded, Xing Jing Lei saw the brilliant thunderbolts lighting up the night sky, and… a fleeting golden radiance.
It seemed as if the disaster had calmed.
‘Did the instructor take action?’
He was too far away to see clearly.
Yet, the brilliant thunderbolts and the fleeting golden glow made him speculate.
Time passed,
and when their private plane neared the destination, Xing Jing Lei, Dao Hun, and others like Bear Mountain parachuted down from the sky with their gear.
They met up with Black Blade and others, clearing out the surrounding cultists and powerful Mysterious Evils.
And also, cleaning up and collecting valuable items left in this area.
This was their mission.
Charged with this task, Xing Jing Lei moved forward relentlessly, firing powerful Cannon Punches in tandem with his Awakened Ability; even a Tri-Star Mysterious Evil could be blasted to bits with a single punch.
The force of his punches was like artillery shells blowing up the ground, plowing trenches dozens of meters long and leaving behind huge craters over ten meters in diameter at the point of Burst.
This destructive power left elites like Dao Hun and Bear Mountain astonished.
“The boss has gotten stronger again.”
“I estimate that even Instructor Black Blade is no match for the boss now.”
“Xing boss is awesome.”
Xing Jing Lei’s thick skin was almost overwhelmed by the praise.
Black Blade, my brother? He didn’t consider himself a match yet, but indeed, his progress was rapid and even against a Calamity Level Mysterious Evil that could easily obliterate a city, he felt he could give it a go in arm wrestling.
Unfortunately, there were no such enemies for him to test his strength against.
Xing Jing Lei stood tall and proud, and upon reaching the mission site, he could see from a distance that his comrades from the relief troops were searching for spoils in a large pit.
He was about to greet them when he suddenly stopped.
This huge pit… it looked suspiciously like… the imprint of a giant hand.
No way!
Xing Jing Lei stood in front of the large palm-shaped pit, his body trembling.
He seemed to see the instructor, surrounded by golden light, standing above the heavens, with a great thunderous hand formed from entwined thunder dragons, pressing down and erasing everything in its path.
“Is this the true strength of the instructor?!”
But one day, I, Xing, will catch up to this level!
First, let’s set a small goal, to catch up with the mighty Black Blade, brother.
…
Turning back the clock slightly,
Ghastly Realm, a place beyond description.
In a majestic hall constructed from red and black, the Blood Imperial Emperor, with his tall and imposing figure, sat upon the throne.
His gaze was stern, as if he could see through space itself.
“Bloodbeard People, Priest Pukala.”
“The Ascension Ritual of the Seven Positions.”
He shook his head slightly.
For a lower race like the Bloodbeard People to set up a ritual that ascends to the heavens, it naturally involved his funding and guidance.
If the Bloodbeard People could dedicate this world to the great Crimson Moon, the reward from the magnificent lord would include a portion for the Blood Imperial Emperor.
And he would take the lion’s share.
The leftover scraps would then be for minor races like the Bloodbeard People.
Naturally, the Blood Imperial Emperor was paying attention.
He could even get updates on the Seven Position Ritual Array in real-time.
Not long after it started, four of the array bases had been destroyed.
He let out a “Huh.”
“The Blue Star World seems to have something interesting.”
“Pukala is a bit disappointing as well.”
While he said it was disappointing, the Blood Imperial Emperor didn’t seem too concerned; his expression remained cold, with just a hint of surprise in his indifference.
Ascend to the Mythic Realm relying on the Seven Position Ritual? Pukala, the Bloodbeard priest, might deeply believe in it, but he scoffed at the idea; the Mythic Realm was not so easily accessible, or else the phrase ‘ascending to the heavens’ would not exist.
With one step across, one becomes a divine being, transcending the ordinary constraints.
Does such a ritual for ascension exist? Yes! But not merely on the basis of seven cities, even if the population within those cities was surprisingly vast.
The human population of the Blue Star World was too numerous!
Theoretically speaking, there was a slim chance for Pukala, the Bloodbeard priest, to pass through the gate of the divine realm.
Should he succeed, he would be worthy of the Blood Imperial Emperor’s attention.
But not being able to cross over was of no concern; the fundamental purpose of the Seven Phases Ritual was merely to break the barriers of the Blue Star World, allowing the Bloodbeard People’s Pukala to enter Blue Star ahead of time.
Furthermore, it could enhance the power of Pukala’s true form, allowing him to step into the pseudo-Mythic Realm within a short amount of time.
To completely take down this ‘somewhat valuable’ world before the claws of other Evil Gods descended upon it.
Therefore, when the foundations of the four rituals were disrupted, the Scarlet Emperor was not in the least disappointed.
At most, he was slightly surprised.
It was merely a slight surprise, as it is normal for unexpected events to occur when conquering a world. As for what truly astonished him… The Scarlet Emperor couldn’t help but recall more than a thousand years ago.
Back then, in an unfamiliar world, he witnessed a miraculous light of humanity that went beyond his understanding.
He was even more astonished by that event.
As for now?
The Scarlet Emperor continued to pay attention. Conquering a world of greater value didn’t require his constant attention—leaving it to priests like Pukala to handle was sufficient.
If it succeeds, so be it, if not, simply change the priest.
But since it was a critical period, he did not skimp on casting his gaze upon it.
He then noticed,
Bang~ Bang~ shortly after, two more foundational points of the ritual burst, the more crucial ones at that.
With the breaking of these two sites, the entire ritual was truly affected. The power had declined, failing to meet his expectations.
“Is Pukala too useless, or… is this world known as Blue Star somewhat abnormal?”
The Scarlet Emperor’s surprise grew within him.
He couldn’t help but cast a more intent gaze, focusing on the Bloodbeard People’s tribe.
He saw that Bloodbeard Priest Pukala was preparing to forcibly trigger the ritual’s power, using this yet unfinished force to bring his true form into Blue Star by force.
This was what the Scarlet Emperor wanted to see.
Even if Pukala hadn’t done so, he would have intervened to guide him.
This was the value of Priest Pukala!
At this moment,

Pukala, who was affected by backlash due to the insufficient ritual power and had arrived on Blue Star, possessed less than a third of the power from his prime.
Nevertheless, Pukala was an Awakener at the peak of Six Senses.
Even if the predetermined goal could not be achieved, even if Pukala’s injuries were nearly impossible to heal on Blue Star, the arrival of a throne-level presence would still establish an absolute advantage for their Crimson Moon Heretical Cult.
This was acceptable.
The Scarlet Emperor gathered his strength, ready to use Bloodbeard Priest Pukala as an anchor to cast his gaze upon Blue Star.
Divine power gathered within him.
Power exclusive to those at the Mythic Realm and above slowly diffused within the grand hall.
Suddenly,
The Scarlet Emperor was stunned, and, for once, a look of shock uncontrollably spread across his usually impassive face!
Very surprised!
His power had not yet fully gathered, his gaze had not yet been cast, and the anchor point, Bloodbeard Priest Pukala, had already…
Gone!
Perished!
This was too quick!
What on earth had happened?
Leaning against the throne, the Scarlet Emperor tapped his finger lightly, “A commonplace Blue Star World that just boasts a larger population resource—could it possess the power to slay a throne-level Pukala?”
Combining this with the swift collapse of the ritual, he was even more certain that there was something abnormal about the Blue Star World.
There was a problem!
The value of the Blue Star World might need to be reevaluated!
He contemplated.
In the ritual arranged by Priest Pukala, there was still a hidden move of his own.
But should he activate it?
To do so would mean that even he would have to pay a significant price.
Is the Blue Star World worth the cost?
Within the grand hall, dreadful power surged, silencing everything outside.
…
Inside the massive palm-print crater,
warriors of the Flame of Fireraising, who were mostly double-Awakeners, continually excavated and indeed uncovered some items beneath the old castle ruins that had not been destroyed.
Precious mysterious materials!
A Strange Implement that resembled a horn!
And,
“Boss, I found a statue!”
“It bears some resemblance to the statues of our organization, except this one has a face carved with a being clad in scarlet armor with long horns atop its head.”
The double-Awakener strongman shouted.
Xing Jing Lei, Yiluo Xi, and several others walked over.
Yet before they could get close, the dark red statue seemed to come to life, flying gracefully into the air outside the palm-print crater. The statue, initially half human height, kept expanding until it reached around five to six meters tall. Dark red energy flowed across its surface as a terrifying aura began to reawaken.
Boom——!
Boom——!
Boom——!
In that moment, Xing Jing Lei and the others felt as if their blood had frozen, their hearts almost stopping altogether.
Pupils contracted, every hair stood on end.
Their spines could no longer remain erect, and their bodies slowly bent over; those who were weaker had already collapsed to the ground.
Even Xing Jing Lei and Yiluo Xi were gasping for air, trembling uncontrollably.
Every cell within them was trembling!
Moving even a single finger had become an immense struggle.
This aura, this aura…
Was sheer terror!
Was utter calamity!
Far more terrifying than the Bloodbeard Priest from just moments ago by hundreds, thousands of times!!
What kind of existence was this!
‘Ding!’
‘Notice: A being above the Mythic Realm seeks to break the barrier and incarnate upon Blue Star.’
‘Notice: A terrifying incarnation is descending, and a world mission is being generated.’
Fang You looked up at the changing skies.
In his hand, appeared a card reflecting an armored figure.
A golden card.
Two methods of use slowly unfolded before him.
