“So, I’ve finally seen another side of the Phoenix Clan’s Matriarch, hmm…?” teased Yu Zi Yu, laughing, a rare thing on his part.

“Yes, of course you have!”

With a soft snort, Ni Shang lifted her veil, revealing a face that would even the brilliance of the stars pale in comparison.

“Hmm… this is much better!”

Her laughter chimed like silver bells.

The next moment, her figure, riding the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, transformed into a streak of prismatic color that shot straight toward the depths of the starry expanse.

However, if anyone were paying close attention on her, they would surely notice her lips curling into a subtle smile, a glint of mischief in her eyes.

“Even the Demon Emperor… was momentarily stunned upon seeing me…”

That tiny realization filled Ni Chang with a sense of triumph and an uncharacteristic ripple of delight.

…

However, just as the Demon Emperor and Ni Shang wandered freely through the cosmos, no one realized that a true catastrophe was about to descend.

*Boooom… boooom… boooom…*

A series of booming rumbles echoed from the deepest reaches of the Void, where a colossal giant emerged, striding forward with a blazing furnace resting upon his shoulder.

The blazing furnace turned the dark-violet sky of the Void a burning crimson.

And accompanying that terrifying heat was an incomparably savage Will. It was a violent, domineering, overwhelming Will that seemed intent on crushing everything in its path.

The entire scene was horrifying, unimaginably so.

However, a closer look revealed the truth: what the giant carried on its shoulder was not a furnace, but a blazing star resembling a furnace itself, radiating endless heat and light.

“We’re Rasheed…”

It seemed like a declaration, or perhaps an introduction.

The void trembled in response.

And then…

“Ha… haha… hahahahah…!” A laugh suddenly echoed, wild and unrestrained, dripping with savagery, arrogance, and absolute supremacy.

Ripples spread, ring after ring.

Then, before the incredulous gazes of countless Void Creatures, the colossal giant raised the blazing star on his shoulder and hurled it mercilessly into the Void.

*Boooooom…* A world-shaking rumble reverberated across the Void, as the star transformed into a blazing fireball, smashed through the barrier of the Void, tore through the layers of space and flew into the universe.

…

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

*Boooooom…* An equally world-shaking rumble erupted.

Then, before the disbelieving eyes of countless powerhouses, an entire star system-sized space collapsed, revealing a blinding, searing radiance.

Impossible heat poured outward, distorting the very space.

Through the widening fissures, all finally saw it, a colossal fireball radiating immense heat and light.

“What… is that!?”

“Heavens…”

“Its temperature may be higher than hundreds of thousands of degrees…”

“I feel like the entire starry sky is about to become a sea of flames…”

Cries of shock and terror erupted one after another.

This was the Central Sector, where powerhouses were as numerous as clouds, where even Tier-4s were as common as stray dogs.

However, now, gazing at the suddenly shattered space, all those towering figures stood frozen, dumbfounded.

[What exactly is this?!]

But before they could gather their wits…

*Boooooom…*

Another earth-shattering blast reverberated as the titanic fireball finally tore through the last layer of space and surged into the starry sky.

*Boooooom…Booooom…Booooom…*

The deafening thunder of destruction rolled through the world.

And at last, the starry expanse witnessed it: a fireball beyond comprehension descending upon the world at the very edge of the cosmos.

And accompanying it were countless smaller fireballs, falling like a rain of blazing meteors, though they were considered small when compared to the largest fireball leading them.

However, a closer look revealed that each of those ‘tiny’ fireballs spanned tens of thousands. No, hundreds of thousands of meters across.

*Swish swish swish swish…* As the fireballs tore through space, the scorching heat radiating from them twisted everything in their path, turning the horizon into a boundless sea of flames.

There were millions of these fireballs.

It was raining fire.

*Boooom, boooom, boooom, boooom, boooom…* Within mere moments, the flaming balls of fire came shooting from the edge of the sky. Mushroom shaped clouds rose one after another, as the fireballs fell upon the planets in their path.

And the strongest and most violent of them caused an entire planet to quake violently. The heatwaves caused the entire atmosphere to burn, staining Heaven and Earth alike in a fiery hue.

Even across several star systems, one could still feel the heatwaves blowing on their faces.

On planet after planet, vast impact craters rippled across the continents, expanding at a pace visible to the naked eye.

It was an apocalypse, a true apocalypse.

This was a calamity capable of ending worlds.

This caused the Tier-4, and even some Tier-6s to turn pale, their expressions twisting in dread.

And adding more to their dread, it was occurring not far from Celestus.

In the distance, there was an immense planet. Immediately, countless streaks came shooting from it, as countless powerhouses took their position in outer space, their terrifying aura filling the world.

“What’s happening?”

“I don’t know… but we must stop it!”

Cries echoed one after another, as one powerhouse after another struck out, desperately attempting to halt the advancing meteor storm that threatened to sweep everything away.

However, these individuals were oblivious to the true terror that was about to befall them.

*Thud… thud… thud…*

Step after step, shattering the space itself, the World Tree—Yggdrasil had arrived, leading the vast and mighty Void Army.

An invasion, a true and complete invasion was about to start

And that world-ending rain of meteors was merely the beginning.

*Heheheh…*With increasingly arrogant and domineering laughter, the World Tree, peering through layers of space at the countless tiny, insect-like figures, wore a mocking expression.

“The starry universe of today… is truly weak.”

Making no attempt to hide his disdain, the World Tree’s arms hooked into claws as he grasped the edges of the spatial rift…and tore.

*Riiiiip…*

The rift that was initially too small for him to cross was forcefully ripped wide.

And through that expanding rift, he stepped into the universe, the Lord of the Void’s strongest subordinate, Rasheed.

He would fight for the Void…

He vowed to slaughter the entire universe for the Void, and bring it to extinction.
