104: Dimensional Rift

The cosmos was abuzz with the news of the captured invaders. The Myriad Races Blood Army, renowned for their unparalleled strength and discipline, was tasked with assessing the true capabilities of these Mana-wielding Immortals. To this end, Boundless Dream arranged for a series of tests to understand the threat they posed.

The arena chosen for this test was one of the most formidable structures in the cosmos. Designed to withstand the immense power of battles between Heavenly Deities, it was a fitting venue for the clash that was about to unfold. The walls of the arena shimmered with powerful protective formations, ensuring that the energy unleashed within would not spill out and cause unintended destruction.

The lead teacher of the Myriad Races Blood Army, previously known as Battle Maniac, had ascended to the rank of Heavenly Battle General after becoming a Heavenly Being. His reputation as a seasoned warrior and one of the strongest Heavenly Deities was well known. Boundless Dream called upon him to participate in this critical test.

Heavenly Battle General stood in the center of the arena, his presence commanding and formidable. He was eager to test his mettle against the invaders and uncover the true strength of Mana-wielding Immortals.

Boundless Dream appeared at the edge of the arena, her gaze steady and calculating. With a wave of her hand, she released one of the twenty captured invaders. The prisoner, a Mana Immortal, materialized before the Heavenly Battle General, his eyes filled with a mix of defiance and determination.

The crowd gathered around the arena fell silent, their eyes fixed on the two combatants. This was a battle that would determine much about their new enemies.

The Mana Immortal wasted no time, launching an attack with a burst of radiant energy. His movements were fluid and precise, demonstrating the advanced techniques of his realm. Despite being an entire major realm below the Heavenly Battle General, he wielded his Mana with incredible skill.

Heavenly Battle General met the attack head-on, his own energy surging in response. The clash of their powers created a shockwave that rippled through the arena, but the protective formations held firm. The battle was fierce, each combatant pushing their limits and testing the other’s strength.

The Mana Immortal’s techniques were unlike anything the audience had seen before. His control over Mana allowed him to execute complex maneuvers and devastating attacks. However, Heavenly Battle General’s experience and raw power gave him the upper hand.

With a series of calculated strikes, Heavenly Battle General forced the Mana Immortal on the defensive. His movements were a blur, each one precise and deadly. The Mana Immortal struggled to keep up, but his resilience and resourcefulness were impressive.

As the battle raged on, it became clear that while the Mana Immortal was incredibly powerful for his realm, he was no match for a seasoned Heavenly Deity. Heavenly Battle General, using his vast experience and superior strength, began to dominate the fight. With a final, decisive blow, he disarmed the Mana Immortal and brought him to his knees.

The arena erupted in cheers, the crowd in awe of the display of power and skill. Boundless Dream, watching intently, nodded in approval. The test had revealed much about the capabilities of Mana-wielding Immortals.

After the battle, Boundless Dream and the council gathered to analyze the results. The Heavenly Battle General, despite his victory, expressed a grudging respect for the Mana Immortal’s abilities.

“He fought well,” the Heavenly Battle General admitted. “Their techniques are different, but they are formidable. We must not underestimate them.”

Boundless Dream agreed. “This battle has shown us that while they may be a realm below, their use of Mana makes them powerful adversaries. We must continue to study their techniques and find ways to counter them effectively.”

The peace and tranquility of the cosmos were once again threatened as a new and ominous event unfolded. Above the skies at the very edge of the cosmos, a dimensional rift began to tear open, radiating a dark, foreboding energy. The Void Fortress, ever vigilant, immediately began to analyze the energy signature emanating from the rift.

The readings from the Void Fortress were alarming. The rift’s energy signature indicated that it currently allowed only Mahayana cultivators to pass through, but there was an unsettling aspect to it. The rift was growing stronger, its energy intensifying with each passing moment. If left unchecked, it could soon permit beings of even greater power to cross into their world.

Upon receiving the report, Boundless Dream acted swiftly. She understood the potential threat posed by the rift and knew that decisive action was needed. She mobilized nine of the Immortal Forest Sect’s war fortresses, each a bastion of immense power and defense, and ordered them to surround the rift.

The plan was to deploy the Chaos Heaven Formation around the rift. This formation, one of the most powerful defensive and offensive measures at their disposal, would not only contain the rift’s expansion but also neutralize any forces attempting to pass through it.

Boundless Dream herself led the effort, coordinating the positioning of the war fortresses with precision. The formation required perfect synchronization and immense energy, but she was confident in the capabilities of her sect and allies.

The nine war fortresses moved with purpose, their massive structures gliding effortlessly through the void. Each fortress took its designated position, creating a circle around the rift. As they settled into place, their protective barriers activated, forming a shimmering dome of energy that encased the rift.

The Chaos Heaven Formation began to take shape, its intricate patterns and runes glowing with an otherworldly light. The combined energy of the fortresses surged through the formation, creating a powerful barrier that pulsed with chaotic energy.

Boundless Dream stood at the center of the formation, her presence a beacon of strength and resolve. With a single command, the Chaos Heaven Formation activated fully. The air around the rift crackled with energy as the formation’s power enveloped it, creating a containment field that would prevent any unauthorized entry or exit.

The rift, now contained within the formation, continued to pulse with dark energy, but its expansion was halted. The fortresses maintained their positions, their energies feeding into the formation to keep it stable and strong.

As the formation stabilized, Boundless Dream turned her attention to the task of monitoring the rift. She knew that this was only a temporary measure. The rift’s growing power suggested that more formidable threats could emerge if it continued to strengthen.

She dispatched scouts and surveillance teams to gather more data on the rift and any potential forces on the other side. Their mission was to provide real-time updates and ensure that the defenders were prepared for any eventuality.

Back in the Immortal Forest Sect, Boundless Dream convened a council of war. The leading figures of the cosmos, including the Heavenly Battle General, Jin, and the Old Monsters, gathered to discuss the situation and plan their next steps.

“The rift is a serious threat,” Boundless Dream began, her voice calm but firm. “We have contained it for now, but we must be prepared for whatever comes through. Our scouts are gathering information, but we need to be ready to respond at a moment’s notice.”

The Heavenly Battle General nodded. “We will increase our patrols and ensure that our forces are on high alert. The Chaos Heaven Formation is strong, but we must not become complacent.”

Jin, always strategic, added, “We should also consider reinforcing our defenses around other potential weak points. If this rift is just the beginning, we need to be ready for multiple incursions.”

The council agreed on a multi-pronged approach: reinforcing defenses, increasing surveillance, and preparing for immediate deployment of forces if needed. Boundless Dream issued orders for additional fortifications around the rift and other strategic locations.

Throughout the cosmos, there was a renewed sense of unity and determination. The inhabitants understood the gravity of the situation and rallied behind Boundless Dream and her leadership. The various races and realms came together, pooling their resources and strengths to protect their home.
