Chapter 3

In the sky, an elderly man dressed in a cyan robe stepped on star positions, actually flying. With each step he took, a seven-colored star position appeared beneath his feet, resembling the stars—truly a beautiful sight. This was a supreme master!

He wore a look of pride on his face as he gazed at the sea of magma. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he roared with hatred, “When you slaughtered over a thousand of my disciples, did you ever imagine this day would come? You probably never thought I would gather twenty-four god-level experts and over a hundred domain-level masters from across the continent to hunt you down for a hundred years, did you?”

Silhouettes flickered across the pitch-black sky. In the blink of an eye, nearly 200 top-tier experts formed an iron wall in the air, each face filled with a suffocating killing intent. They too walked on air, and the aura they emitted alone was enough to make Olivia Carter suffocate. Perhaps they were so powerful that they didn’t even notice Olivia Carter, or maybe someone of Olivia Carter’s level was simply beneath their notice.

Olivia Carter was completely dumbfounded. Was this a movie? It had to be a dream, definitely a dream—there’s no fooling me! Just pinch my philtrum and I’ll wake up! He pinched hard—ouch, that hurt! Looking up, the god-level experts were still there. Was it not a dream?

……

Just then, the sea of magma suddenly began to boil, surging up in towering waves that quickly gathered into a single massive wave. At its crest stood a man in a black robe, about thirty years old, strikingly handsome, his face filled with contempt and anger. He shouted sharply, “David Clark, you despicable scoundrel! While I slept for hundreds of years, you actually invaded the seventeenth level of Purgatory. Despicable! Even if you destroyed my demonic veins, do you really think that these mere hundreds of people before me can do anything to my Seven Luminaries Profound Power?”

He slowly raised his palm, his face full of fighting spirit, and the surrounding sea of fire surged even more violently.

The god-level expert called David Clark looked solemn and shouted in a low voice, “Fellow righteous friends, our chance to uphold the righteous path has come! Let’s combine our strength and kill the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, bringing peace to the world!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison, their auras surging as they each summoned their weapons. Instantly, the sky was filled with dazzling colors, nearly making Olivia Carter stare in awe.

But as everyone’s aura soared, the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor’s power rose even faster!

“Whoosh!”

With a wave of his palm, countless surging waves filled with murderous intent shot skyward. The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor’s expression was resolute as he shouted, “First Luminary: Chaos Among All Living Beings!”

In Purgatory, giant waves surged like blades toward the sky, scaring Olivia Carter so much that he could only lie motionless on a rock and watch. The powerful experts in the air all unleashed their strength, swinging their weapons to block the Demon Emperor’s attack. The deafening roar shook the entire plane, and with just one strike, some of the weaker experts were shattered to pieces, their blood spraying through the air.

“Second Luminary: Dance of Demons!”

The Demon Emperor quickly launched a second wave of attacks. The waves rapidly transformed into demonic forms, pouncing on the crowd, but the experts’ weapons pierced through the waves one by one, bursts of firelight blooming around the Demon Emperor—those were the flashes of blades striking against protective energy.

“Third Luminary: Calamity of All Beings!”

The third strike—countless vengeful spirits howled in the air, transforming into waves of impact that swept over everyone. Except for the god-level experts in the front row, over a hundred domain-level masters in the back were instantly killed. Under the Demon Emperor’s onslaught, their armor shattered, leaving only skeletons behind, and in the blink of an eye, even the bones turned to dust!

“Fourth Luminary: Wailing of Ghosts and Gods!”

With the Demon Emperor’s fourth strike, space itself began to warp under his power. Three god-level experts roared, gathering their last divine power at the moment of their bodies’ destruction to launch a final deathblow at the Demon Emperor!

“Ooooo…”

The Demon Emperor’s wail was like the crying of ghosts and gods. He raised his arm high, and blood energy from all directions frantically surged toward him. He shouted in a low voice, “Fifth Luminary: Annihilation of the Eight Desolations!”

With a series of explosive “boom, boom, boom” blood-red flashes, several more god-level experts’ bodies shattered, unable to withstand the force.

But the sword in David Clark’s hand had already shot out through the air. With a “pfft,” it pierced the Demon Emperor’s chest, blood gushing out. While slaughtering his enemies on a massive scale, the Demon Emperor’s wounds grew ever more severe.

“Sixth Luminary: Cataclysm of Heaven and Earth!”

The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor’s furious roar shook the entire Purgatory plane. Heaven and earth were overturned, the universe twisted, and with another round of agonized screams, all the god-level experts except David Clark were reduced to flesh and blood. Yet, before dying, they too turned their last divine power into blood arrows, sending their weapons flying toward the Demon Emperor!

“Pfft, pfft, pfft…”

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Emperor’s body was riddled with holes, his power on the verge of collapse, blood constantly spilling from his mouth. He laughed wildly, “David Clark, you despicable scoundrel! To seize my power, you’d rather see all the continent’s elites perish. But I will never let you succeed—the Seven Luminaries Profound Power will never fall into the hands of someone like you!”
