Mo Tian stood before the swirling purple vortex of the Void Gate.
He held the Void Emperor's Spark (inside him) and the Void Key (Ling Long's hand).
"System. Bridge Connection."
[Target: Lower Realm (Mortal Plane).] [Coordinates: Eternal Night Sect.] [Energy Cost: Massive.]
"Drain the Immortal Stones," Mo Tian ordered. "All of them."
The mountains of loot he had stolen from the Profound Gold Sect vaporized. The energy poured into the gate.
"OPEN!"
Mo Tian and Ling Long injected their Space Law.
The vortex expanded. It ripped a hole in the ceiling of the Lower Realm and the floor of the Upper Realm.
Lower Realm - Eternal Night Sect
It had been five years since Mo Tian ascended (time dilation).
Empress Yan Luo sat on the throne. She looked bored. The world was conquered. There was nothing left to kill.
General Xue Yao was pacing the hall. "I'm bored," she growled. "Can we invade the ocean again?"
Suddenly, the sky broke open.
A giant purple eye appeared in the clouds.
A voice, amplified by the laws of two worlds, boomed down.
"Honey, I'm home."
Yan Luo stood up, her eyes widening. "Master?"
"Pack your bags," Mo Tian's voice echoed. "We are invading Heaven."
Xue Yao screamed in delight. "WAR!"
Upper Realm - Ghost City
The portal stabilized.
From the vortex, a black tide emerged.
First, the Blood Devil Legion. They had cultivated fanatically for five years. They weren't Immortals yet, but their killing intent was solid.
Then, the Shadow Court.
Then, the Beast Cavalry.
And finally, two figures flew out.
Yan Luo, radiating the aura of a mortal Empress. Xue Yao, radiating the aura of a slaughter demon.
They landed before Mo Tian.
"Master!" Xue Yao tackled him. "Did you save me any food?"
"Plenty," Mo Tian patted her head. "There are golden gods coming to kill us."
Yan Luo looked at Ling Long. She narrowed her eyes. "Who is she?"
"New recruit," Mo Tian said. "She opens doors."
Ling Long looked at the two women. She felt their devotion. It was terrifying.
"He has a type," Ling Long muttered. "Dangerous."
Mo Tian turned to his amassed army—a mix of Upper Realm Ascenders and Lower Realm Fanatics.
"Welcome to the Upper Realm!" Mo Tian shouted. "The air is rich! The gravity is heavy! And the enemies are rich!"
"Today, we don't just survive. We take their throne!"
"ETERNAL NIGHT!"
The chant shook the stars.
"Alert!" The Old Sword Saint pointed to the radar. "Enemy Fleet detected! ETA 1 minute!"
Mo Tian drew the Heaven-Splitter.
"Right on time."
