“Tier-6s… Are all of them really Tier-6s?”

 

“Is this some kind of joke? Since when was reaching Tier-6 this easy…?”

 

“Heavens… this is absurd…”

 

…

 

Exclamations erupted one after another, countless faces paling in shock. Even the mighty Nether Dragon Serpent of the Dragon Clan could not help but have his Dragon Pupils narrow to the size of pinpoints.

 

“This…” Utterly stunned, an involuntary cry of shock escaped Nether Dragon Serpent. “So this is the reason the Demon Court vanished for a hundred years…”

 

Seemingly realizing something, he froze in his place. After all, he knew a thing or two about the Demon Court’s Ten Divine Beasts.

 

A century ago, only the First Divine Beasts, Nine Tails, Golden Ant, suspected to be the Fifth Divine Beast, as well as, the Tenth Divine Beast, Little Tenth, had stepped into Tier-6.

 

But now, one after another, every single member of the First Generation Ten Divine Beasts had ascended to Tier-6.

 

*Boom… Boom…* Their auras grew increasingly terrifying, shaking the skies and nearly warping the space in their vicinity.

 

Many could not help but have their faces go paler and paler in horror.

 

The pressure was so tangible, so crushing, it seemed as though even the world had lost its color.

 

“They are like ten Suns, stealing the light from the entire world…” Far off, a powerhouse of the Three-Eyes Divine Clan gazing toward the horizon, where ten towering silhouettes stood like Gods and Demons, could not help but sigh.

 

[Perhaps this was the true reason the older generation of the Demon Court had disappeared for a century. They must have entered seclusion to temper themselves, all for the sake of unleashing their divine might today. And now… they have succeeded. They have truly shaken the Myriad Races to their core.]

 

As for why everyone was so shaken, well even among the mighty Angel and Titan Clans, the total number of Tier-6s, counting both hidden and known to the public, barely reached four or five, perhaps seven or eight at most.

 

However, here, the Demon Court’s Ten Divine Beasts alone added ten to the number of Tier-6.

 

And that did not even include those of the younger generation: the Second Generation Divine Beast like White Fox or the peerless General of the Demon Court who suppressed the Shadow Clan, Slytherin.

 

Counting both hidden and known forces, the Demon Court’s Tier-6s might well number over twenty, or perhaps far more.

 

Thinking of this, Seraphim, the Patriarch of the Angel Clan, involuntarily gasped in shock.

 

“Not only their mid-tier forces far exceed ours, but even their top-tier experts have left us in the dust…” muttering this to himself, he fell silent.

 

[And that’s not even counting the Demon Emperor himself, a peerless existence who may rule the universe for ages. The Demon Court…perhaps the rumors about it are true: In the early days of the Spiritual Energy’s resurgence, they must have seized the fortune of the world. Otherwise, it should not be possible for them to rise with such shocking speed, and even carry the momentum of maintaining a dominion for ages.]

 

Of course, regarding the rumors, most Forces only acknowledge the part about the early days of resurgence. Regarding their dominion lasting over the ages, they all disregarded these rumors. After all, now that the Age of Transcendence had just started. The road ahead was long. No one knew what might happen in the future.

 

As the popular adage goes: ‘There is no invincible dynasty, and no eternal legends. Only those who laugh last are the true victors.’

 

However, in the scale of an era, that saying was nothing more than a joke.

 

Even the Heavenly Court, once boasting eight Eternals, ended in dust, its lineage almost severed from the world.

 

…

 

At that moment, ignoring the shifting expressions all around, Nine Tails, the eldest of the Ten Divine Beasts, stepped forward.

 

*Boooom…* A thunderous clap shook the world, as visible waves of flame swept through the sky, dying the sky crimson for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

 

In the next instant, a seductive voice rang out across the starry sky, “The arrival of both the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, fills our Demon Court with immeasurable joy…”

 

As the voice faded, the sea of flames rolled and twisted into a towering tornado of fire. And from within the inferno, a graceful figure slowly walked out.

 

Treading space, every time she took a step, a crimson lotus bloomed beneath her feet.

 

As she welcomed the guests, a trail of blooming lotus stretched into the horizon, leading straight toward the guests from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans.

 

“What astonishing control over Spiritual Energy…” Voicing his praise, Nether Dragon Serpent could not help but glance in surprise at the approaching figure.

 

Though both were Tier-6s, in terms of mastery over Spiritual Energy, the gap between them was far more than a step.

 

No wonder people often said, ‘Among the stars, none can rival Nine Tails of the Demon Court in the control of Spiritual Energy.’

 

At this moment, not just him, even the leader of the Phoenix Clan’s delegation, found her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

 

The Phoenix Clan had always been known for finesse. Their precise control over Spiritual Energy was ranked among the finest in the starry skies. However, now, watching this graceful figure tread upon blooming red lotuses as she approached, Qing Niao fell silent.

 

“The Demon Court’s Nine Tails… truly lives up to her name.” Despite the shock, Qing Niao kept her composure, stepping forward to greet her with a warm smile, “Elder Sister Nine Tails…I’m Qing Niao of the Phoenix Clan, please accept my respects.”

 

…

 

It was a simple gesture of courtesy, yet in the eyes of many, it carried a different weight, because this meant, the Phoenix Clan was, in truth, acknowledging the strength of the Demon Court.

 

If before, the Phoenix Clan knew of the Demon Court only because of the Demon Emperor…

 

Now, seeing these ten blazing Suns, the ten Divine Beasts, in the sky, they were placing the Demon Court on the same level as themselves.

 

They were placing them on one of the highest ranks among the Forces of the universe, a level far above the likes of the Angel Clan, the Titan Clan.

 

It was a level that truly belonged to the colossal Forces, whose reign spanned across multiple galaxies, and their influence radiated across hundreds.

 

And in the entire expanse of the cosmos, there were fewer than ten such Forces:

 

The Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the God Race… and certain reclusive powers hidden in the dark, such as the Buddhist Sect, or the one standing currently among them, the Demon Court, a newborn Force that had proven, through sheer strength and profound heritage, that it had earned its place.

 

And for the first time, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans… formally recognized its status.
