The dimensional rift, now encased within the formidable Chaos Heaven Formation, was a constant source of tension for the cosmos. Each day, its energy signature grew stronger, a silent reminder of the potential threat it posed. The Myriad Races Blood Army remained vigilant, their eyes ever watchful for any sign of activity.
The energy emanating from the rift was unsettling. Despite the best efforts of Boundless Dream and her allies, the rift continued to expand, its power growing incrementally with each passing day. The fortresses surrounding it maintained their positions, feeding energy into the formation to keep the rift contained.
One day, as the energy within the rift reached a new peak, a voice echoed from its depths. The sound was both ancient and powerful, resonating through the void and piercing the barriers that surrounded the rift.
“Who dares to bind the gateway to the Abyss?”
The voice was deep and commanding, filled with an authority that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it. The soldiers of the Myriad Races Blood Army exchanged uneasy glances, their hands tightening on their weapons.
Boundless Dream, meditating within her celestial palace, felt the disturbance immediately. She opened her eyes, her expression calm but alert. She rose and blipped to the forefront of the formation, her presence immediately commanding attention.
Standing before the rift, Boundless Dream focused her senses, reaching out with her newly acquired power of Mana. She could feel the immense pressure of the voice, the raw power it held.
“I am Boundless Dream,” she called out, her voice steady and unwavering. “Who speaks from beyond the rift?”
For a moment, there was silence. Then, the voice responded, echoing with a mixture of curiosity and challenge. “I am the Gatekeeper of the Abyss. You have tampered with forces beyond your understanding.”
The Gatekeeper’s words hung heavily in the air. Boundless Dream knew that this was not a threat to be taken lightly. The Abyss, with its endless depths and powerful inhabitants, had always been a source of danger. Now, with the rift growing stronger, the threat was more immediate than ever.
“The Abyss is not your realm to control,” the Gatekeeper continued. “Release your hold on the gateway, or face the consequences.”
Boundless Dream remained resolute. “We will not allow the Abyss to invade our cosmos. We seek peace, but we are prepared to defend ourselves.”
The Gatekeeper’s laughter echoed through the void, a sound that was both chilling and foreboding. “Peace? There is no peace to be had with the Abyss. We are the embodiment of chaos and destruction. Your attempts to contain us are futile.”
The words sent a ripple of unease through the assembled soldiers. Boundless Dream, however, stood firm. She had faced countless challenges before, and she would not back down now.
Boundless Dream turned to the commanders of the Myriad Races Blood Army. “Prepare for battle. We may soon face an enemy unlike any we have encountered before. Ensure that all defenses are strengthened, and that every soldier is ready.”
The commanders saluted and moved quickly to carry out her orders. The soldiers, galvanized by her presence and leadership, prepared themselves for the possibility of a new and dire conflict.
Boundless Dream knew that this was not just a battle for the Myriad Races Blood Army. The entire cosmos needed to be prepared. She sent out a universal message, calling upon all cultivators, scholars, and leaders to stand ready.
“We face a new and powerful threat,” she announced. “The voice from the rift speaks of chaos and destruction. We must unite and prepare to defend our realm. Together, we are strong. Together, we will prevail.”
The dimensional rift continued to grow stronger with each passing day, a constant reminder of the looming threat from the Abyss. However, the cosmos was not idle. With the Void Convergence Method now widely practiced, every cultivator was undergoing a profound transformation.
The implementation of the Void Convergence Method resulted in a significant but temporary downgrade in cultivation realms. Every cultivator experienced a loss of almost half their realms due to insufficient energy to sustain their previous levels. Immortals, who once stood at the pinnacle of power, found themselves reduced to the Mahayana realm.
At first, this seemed like a devastating setback. The sudden drop in power left many feeling vulnerable and uncertain. However, Boundless Dream had prepared them well, and the true nature of this transformation soon became apparent.
Despite the apparent loss, every cultivator noticed an immediate improvement in their techniques and control of energy. The Void Convergence Method had stripped away the inefficiencies and impurities in their spiritual energy, leaving behind a more refined and potent form.
“Focus on the control, not the quantity,” Boundless Dream had advised. “The power you wield now is purer and stronger. As you regain your realms, you will find yourself many times more powerful than before.”
As cultivators began the arduous journey of re-cultivating their lost realms, they discovered that their progress was faster and more efficient. The new energy they harnessed was ten times as potent, and their techniques became increasingly refined with each passing day.
Heavenly Battle General, who had initially felt the sting of losing his Heavenly Being status, now felt his techniques becoming more precise and deadly. “I can feel the difference,” he remarked during a training session. “Every strike, every movement is sharper, more controlled.”
Boundless Dream herself took an active role in guiding the cultivators through this transition. She held regular sessions, demonstrating advanced techniques and offering insights into the new form of energy they were cultivating.
“Remember,” she told a group of Mahayana cultivators, “this is a path to true mastery. The temporary loss is a small price to pay for the strength and control you will gain. Embrace the process.”
As days turned into weeks, the cultivators began to regain their lost realms. Those who had been Immortals found themselves climbing back towards their former power, but with a significant difference. Each realm regained was not just a restoration, but an enhancement. Their energy was now ten times purer, their techniques a hundred times more refined.
The Myriad Races Blood Army, though initially weakened, emerged stronger than ever. The soldiers, now Mahayana cultivators with the potential to surpass their previous Immortal status, were becoming a formidable force. Their newfound control and refined energy made them more dangerous than ever before.
Boundless Dream knew that time was of the essence. The rift was a growing threat, and the cosmos needed to be ready. She continued to oversee the training and preparation of the army, ensuring that every cultivator was equipped with the knowledge and techniques necessary to face the invaders.
“The Gatekeeper of the Abyss will not wait forever,” she reminded her allies. “We must be prepared to defend our realm at a moment’s notice. Train hard, refine your energy, and be ready.”
The leaders of the various realms, recognizing the gravity of the situation, rallied their forces. The unity that Boundless Dream had fostered over the years was now more critical than ever. The combined strength of the cosmos, with its newly refined energy, presented a united front against the looming threat.
As the rift continued to pulse with growing power, the cosmos stood ready. The transformation brought about by the Void Convergence Method had turned a temporary setback into an incredible advantage. The cultivators, now ten times stronger and with the potential to become a hundred to a thousand times more powerful, were prepared for whatever the Abyss might throw at them.
