Three months later

​The sky above the Holy Sun Continent was unusual; the spatial barriers were weakened, as if the heavens themselves were forcing through.

​In the western edge of the Holy Continent, beneath the vast sky. The once endless empty plains were now filled with a sea of cultivators.

​The area, as usual, was divided into five parts. House Crimson occupied east of the barrier, House Ravencar occupied the northern side, which was exactly opposite to the barrier.

​House Bloodforge and House Umbra are a bit away from the large barrier. It was more like a blocked-out rift.

​The three sects were just behind the houses, with the Empire's forces in the middle.

​All the superpowers had three elders accompanying them. The Divine Sword Sect disciples stood behind a Sword Banner, headed by Yueshan and Tristan.

​The ground trembled every few minutes; the force emitted by the rift was no joke. It was several thousand miles wide, occasionally releasing vibrations, which, if exposed to mortals or low-level cultivators, would cause instant death.

​Across the Divine Sword Sect, the Burning Peak disciples stood in a formation, emitting terrifying heat waves.

​The Heavenly Body Refining sect, too, stood at the other side of the Divine Sword Sect. Even the female disciples were muscular and a bit tall.

​There was a silent agreement between all the forces to keep their grudges aside, but some verbal fights occasionally broke out.

​The superpowers of the continent accounted for nearly ninety thousand cultivators, with the leftover ten thousand coming from affiliated sects and rogue cultivators. These were the orders from the Empire itself.

​The atmosphere was filled with nervousness, excitement, and…fear.

​"Do you think we can even stand a chance inside the realm?"

​"We will only roam the outer area and return, or half of us will definitely die before even reaching picking up the treasures!"

"Yes, forget the inheritance…just a single herb is enough to change my entire life!"

​…

​"Rahu…you have to be extremely careful inside! I know, even though you're absurdly strong and cunning, but still!"

​Inside the base of the Divine Sword Sect, Rahu stood in front of a nagging Vivianne. Surrounding him were four other girls and a feline.

​Vivianne had an extremely worried and anxious expression as she looked at his face. Rahu smiled seeing her face. He gently stroked her cheek and grinned.

​"My little peach, you're worrying for the wrong person here; it should be them that needs the worrying."

​Hearing his words, all the girls shook their heads with a smile on their faces. That confidence, that voice, and that composure were enough to put them at ease.

​After all, as long as he is still there beside them, why should they worry?

​"...If your little romance is over, go over there and stand beside the core disciples."

​Rahu curiously turned his head and saw it was Elder Tristan who had spoken. He waved his hands and gestured towards the gathering of cultivators where Yueshan was lecturing them.

​Rahu shook his head and walked towards the crowd. Of course, not forgetting to kiss Vivianne and see her flustered face.

​After walking a bit, he arrived at the spot where Yueshan was present. In front of her, ten cultivators stood, their aura terrifying and sharp. Each one of them was a peak Origin Realm cultivator. Hearing the footsteps, they all turned towards the newcomer.

​Rahu remained unbothered and walked towards the disciples, joining the line. All eyes were on him, some curious, some indifferent, and lastly, one murderous.

​Rahu ignored him; he was Moyan. The core disciple who had sent Zira to kill him. Of course, after failing miserably, he did try to contact her, but she just ignored him and stayed at Vivianne's peak.

He didn't forget to glare at Rahu before swearing to teach him a lesson in the realm.

​"Attention here!"

Yueshan's voice boomed.

​"Here are some final instructions, so pay attention here seriously!"

​…

​At the Holy Sun Empire's side

​A terrifying line of twenty peak Origin Realm cultivators was standing in order, their expressions serious. The aura they were emitting was no joke.

​But all of them paled in comparison to the man standing in front of them. He was a tall, robust, handsome middle-aged man.

​At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special about him. But the veteran knew better; he was one of the strongest cultivators in the whole continent, just below the House Leaders and Sect Leaders.

​He was Arcturus Ignivar, head of the Royal Guards, and his command was just below the Empress. He was also here to keep other Houses and Sects in check, in case a fight breaks out.

​Glancing at them, "Listen carefully, brats, inside the realm. No matter what happens, stick together. There will be millions of cultivators; it is impossible to survive, especially with those demonic and celestial cultivators present. Your only chance of survival is if you move in groups! No betrayals or backstabbing are permitted! If I get wind of such news, death will be like a sweet mercy to you! Do you understand!"

​"YES SIR!!"

The cultivators bowed; they dared not argue or ignore his words. Because that was the cruel truth, many didn't know this. Inside the realm, alongside countless opportunities. There lay a 100x risk!

​Suddenly, a deep, primal rumbling spread throughout the area, and the ground beneath them shifted!

​All the cultivators collectively lifted their heads and gasped.

​Arcturus' expression became solemn.

​With a wave of his hand, he slowly floated towards the sky.

​"CULTIVATORS OF THE HOLY SUN CONTINENT, THE RIFT IS OPENING! YOU HAVE MY WELL WISHES! AND DO REMEMBER, THE ULTIMATE TREASURE YOU RETURN WITH IS YOU DAMM LIFE! SO DO YOUR BEST TO SURVIVE AND RETURN GLORIOUS!! ALL HAIL THE HOLY SUN CONTINENT!"

​His voice, imbued with Mana, rang loud in every ear present. Their hearts thumped.

​CRACK–! WHUMP! WHUMP!

​The rift was slowly cracking, opening the way to the mysterious realm.

​The space twisted, and an overwhelming aura washed over every cultivator present.

​The Inheritance Realm…was opening!
