At this moment, hidden deep in the Void Space behind the planet, an event unknown to everyone was unfolding.

 

“Found you…” a sudden whisper echoed with the violet Void Space as the speeding figure of the Amethyst Emperor—Zi Lian—abruptly halted.

 

Then, his pair of glowing eyes erupted with a dazzling light.

 

*Booooom…* Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a scene unfolded within Zi Lian’s vision.

 

This was the Eye of True Vision, an ability developed by Zi Lian that enabled him to pierce through all deceptions and barriers, unveiling the hidden and the unknown.

 

At this moment, using the Eye of True Vision, Zi Lian’s gaze penetrated through space, revealing—Tier-5 True Gods, one after another, surrounding a battered and beleaguered figure at the center, closing in slowly and menacingly.

 

“How audacious…” Laughing in rage, arcs of violet lightning danced wildly about Zi Lian.

 

This was just a phenomena caused by the overwhelming aura radiating from him, so dense that it had practically materialized.

 

As the energy within him surged, Zi Lian slowly raised his scythe-like arm.

 

*Swish…* With a crisp ripping sound, a violet fissure tore open in space.

 

At the same time, on the other side of Void Space…

 

*Boooooom…* With a deafening roar, a tremor swept through the battlefield, turning the faces of the Tier-5 True Gods pale. Simply because, an overwhelming aura suddenly broke out behind them out of nowhere, accompanied by a bone-chilling dread that crept into their hearts.

 

Everyone felt as though a predator at the very apex of the food chain was silently watching them, filling their hearts with suffocating tension.

 

“This… this aura?” Arto muttered, his face frozen in disbelief as he slowly turned his head.

 

What met his eyes was a violet rift in space, nearly three meters long. Violet energy surged from the rift like a flood breaching a dam, cascading outward with overwhelming force.

 

Amid this torrent of energy, a petite figure emerged, instantly drawing the gaze of every expert present.

 

The figure was not tall, standing at what seemed to be the average height of a Human.

 

Shrouded in swirling violet energy, its form was partially obscured, yet the scythe-like arms, sharp and menacing, were unmistakable—resembling deadly blades forged for slaughter.

 

That unassuming frame, radiating such terrifying power, was a contradiction that none could ignore. The cold, oppressive energy seemed to seep into everyone’s Soul, gripping their hearts with an unshakable dread.

 

“A Void Emperor!” Arto’s face turned pale in disbelief.

 

“How is this possible? Why would a Void Emperor appear here?” Another startled cry came from the Beastman, his pupils contracting to the size of pinpoints.

 

At this moment, the petite figure within the rift raised arms and clasped the edges of the violet rift.

 

“Open for me…” With a piercing screech, the violet rift began to widen.

 

“Not good!”

 

“Quickly, stop it from crossing the boundary!”

 

“Hurry!” Panic spread like wildfire as the Tier-5 True Gods cried out, their faces contorting with alarm.

 

At the same time, amid violently churning Spiritual Energy, countless terrifying attacks flew toward the rift.

 

Only a Void Emperor could defy the Space-Sealing Mirror, forcibly tearing through space and crossing dimensions. This ability alone made Void Emperors the most fearsome of entities.

 

And now, a Void Emperor they had unheard of was ripping apart the dimensional barrier using its immense power and descending upon the starry sky.

 

How could the Tier-5 True Gods possibly stand idly by?

 

A Void Emperor, one they had no idea about, whose strength was utterly unknown, could only spell disaster.

 

Nevertheless, one thing was certain—this Void Emperor was not a foe these True Gods could contend with.

 

And indeed, this was the case.

 

*Booooom, booooom, booooom…* One fearsome explosion after another reverberated as countless attacks bombarded the violet Void Rift, sending ripples in space, yet they failed to harm Zi Lian in the slightest.

 

Instead, the assault accelerated the rift’s expansion.

 

In just a few breaths, the rift had widened enough to accommodate nearly half of Zi Lian’s ‘body.’

 

Here, ‘body’ did not merely refer to physical size but rather the immense energy radiating from Zi Lian.

 

If it were merely about fitting his physical body through the rift, Zi Lian could have easily shrunk his form once a small gap appeared.

 

For beings like the Void Emperors, the size of a rift was not just limited to their physical bodies, but whether or not it could accommodate the power surging through their forms.

 

Thus, even for Zi Lian, creating a rift large enough to contain his essence was a challenging task.

 

*Hoooooo…* Taking a deep breath, Zi Lian’s expression turned uncharacteristically serious.

 

Countless strands of Void Energy began to coil around his body, while an even more terrifying power surged from within him.

 

“Open for me!” Another piercing screech escaped him, and the entire starry sky trembled.

 

*Booooom…* An earth-shaking explosion reverberated, as if the cosmos itself could no longer bear the strain.

 

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the violet rift started widening, and with its expansion came a world-shaking aura that started permeating through the starry expanse.

 

“Not good…” In an instant, Storm, a Tier-5 Expert of the Titan Clan, paled and fought with all his might.

 

*Booooom, booooom…* A towering tornado spanning tens of thousands of meters roared to life, relentlessly surging toward the Void Rift.

 

Storm’s mind flashed back to the day when Fallen Titan led an army of Void Creatures to invade the Titan Clan.

 

He had witnessed it firsthand.

 

He also knew, to some extent, the terror of a Void Emperor.

 

Such a creature was not something Tier-5 True Gods like them could dare provoke.

 

Yet, just as he fought with everything he had, Storm’s expression suddenly changed as if he had sensed something. He roared furiously, “There’s no escape! There’s no escape! If that Void Emperor crosses dimensions, no matter how fast we flee, we won’t make it…”

 

Storm’s outburst was spurred by the sight of the Tier-5 True God of the High Goblin Race stealthily slipping away toward a distant corner of the starry expanse.

 

He had long heard of the Goblins’ cowardice, but he had not expected this one to shamelessly flee in front of all his peers.

 

At this moment, as if hearing Storm’s words, the Goblin Expert flinched slightly but sped up, darting toward the horizon at an even faster pace.

 

“Damn it… Do you think I don’t understand the terror of a Void Emperor? Staying here is nothing but waiting to die…” Cursing inwardly, the Goblin Expert could not help but recall the horror he experienced years ago under the domination of another Void Emperor.

 

That Void Emperor, known as the Emperor of Pride, was the most terrifying being he had ever encountered. Its mere fleeting presence had nearly wiped out half of the High Goblin Clan.

 

To this day, he was haunted by that nightmare. Whenever he thought of it, it felt as though he were trapped in a living nightmare.
