Chapter 2316: An eclipse that swallowed the Ninth Realm in darkness
Cain smiled as Meylin’s evolution completed. He could feel how her strength rose exponentially, and right off the bat, her battle power seemed to have reached the limit of the early Alpha-Omega Overgod Rank—a proof of her deep foundation and the power of the treasure fused into her heart.
Meylin released a slow breath, adapting to her new level, and the Power of Original Sin in her eyes burned with renewed sharpness.
With renewed spirits, the group exchanged brief smiles with each other and rested for a couple of hours while the Demon King recovered the energy needed to open another passage. Eventually, the ancient ruler finally regained enough strength to open a hole and cut through the Realm Barrier, carrying the group into the Ninth Realm.
Immediately, Cain’s eyes widened as the power of the laws and energy in the Ninth Realm of the Crimson World surged around them. The level was incomparable to any other realm they had passed.
It was not merely density or quantity. It was a transcendent state—an energy on the verge of evolution, as if the Oniric Truth itself was preparing to become something else. The pressure of that transformation lingered in every particle of existence.
However, no matter how impressive and unique this state was, Cain knew there was no time to dwell on it. They had come here to prevent the Ancient One from reaching the Eternity Gate, and they needed to move fast. There was no telling when the opening of the Origin Gate would occur.
The Demon King shared those thoughts, which was why he wasted no time. He began walking forward, drawing Cain and the others across the Ninth Realm at a shocking speed. They moved so fast that the group could not properly glance at the wondrous landscapes beneath them.
They only saw flashes of golden continents, shifting cosmic rivers, and fields of crystallized law blurred into streaks of red and blue.
After two hours, the Demon King finally began to slow as they approached a group of fifteen figures.
Cain’s eyes narrowed as he focused on the warriors. Their auras were so immense that he could only see their silhouettes from a distance, each one unique. As he perceived their energies through the Power of Chaos, the Scarlet King realized that not a single one of them was below the Alpha-Omega Overgod Rank—and that was only their cultivation base. Their battle power seemed even greater.
