Nirvan Alliance (2)
Under scorching, blood-red sun, a woman with long crimson-hair sat cross-legged. The ground beneath her sported equally blood-red sand. Yet, the tremendous heat failed to fluster the meditating Jarul.
On the blood-red sun, eight particular scriptures could be seen glowing even brighter than the base. On top of the spherical monstrous existence, another scripture could be seen in the process of completion.
The skill chart slowly inscribed with minute precision while the strokes itself remained bold, speaking much about Jarul's personality.
Similarly, in another extreme space, sat Lucia. His closed wrinkled eyes trembled every now and then while he remained unaffected by floating in a pure white location. The whole space being Lucia's Treasured House, was already etched 9 skill patterns while Lucia actively connected with his own surroundings.
Slowly, cracks grew around the space he sat in while a deep and primal energy wafted out of the marks. The moment Lucia's Treasured House was connected to the outer world through the cracks, the markings placed by Lucifer immediately lit around the whole empire.
Unknown to the father-daughter duo focusing on their breakthrough, their reign has finally ended.
***
Today, the dawn temple was unusually filled.
The four... clan masters under Lucifer wore tiny black articles of clothing, akin to embroidered bikinis, to cover their recently acquired enchanting forms. Slowly and gently, under Lucifer's command, they waved large fans in their hands, comforting Lucifer.
Meanwhile, the ex-wives of these four clan masters sat on their chairs with a perfectly calm expression, as if, their gender-bent husbands were fortunate to serve their master.
This time around, even the seven generals, the devilish duo and the crimson mother-daughter duo sat on their respective seats. The maids and other clans heiresses dismissed with a wave of his hand, the chamber's atmosphere grew somber quite quickly.
"The tribulation formation has finally detected... Lucia's tribulation. Once we do this... Rani will take over the new empire as the only Expert of the entire Empire.
But.
A sacrifice will be necessary. We have already discussed this beforehand. But to save our own skin, we will take other's."
Lucifer spoke softly while he slowly let his hands phase through Katharos' raven hair. The miniature Katharos, herself, looked extremely calm and satisfied as she slowly ingested the pure vitality let out by her master.
Sighing, Gloria nodded with a grim expression.
"This Empire was only formed to suppress Pride's world. But now, this Empire's usefulness has long gone obsolete.
For master's vision, the destruction of a mere Empire is nothing worth batting an eye upon."
Gloria continued while she looked at her six comrades.
"The moment we were sealed, the seven of us understood that we are nothing but tools.
So, instead of being the Goddess' tool, we would prefer being your servants. This way, we can actually leave a mark... a literal mark on the face of the continent."
The other six generals nodded while the rest of the group grew silent. Lucifer, on the other hand, let out a menacing smile and let his gaze fall upon Rani's face.
"Rani, are you ready?
To finally gain your Cultivation?"
Nodding, Rani stood up and spoke sincerely.
"Yes, master. If the founder has shown her determination, then I too, am willing to do anything."
Nodding, Lucifer turned sideways, looking at the silver-haired Karma, who had finally returned to her own wardrobe of tunics and daggers. Matching her master's gaze, she smiled equally mischievously.
"Let's go... the world might not even have time for the Infernal Twilight after our actions."
With that, Lucifer walked out of the temple while his followers followed him out. From the top of the capital city, Lucifer could easily witness countless crimson tags surrounding the border in the distance. The sheer number was astonishing enough to perceived by the neighbouring empire, the Dusk Empire, too.
But soon, Lucifer's attention was focused on two specific locations. One, the Palace under the Rising Sun Empire and two, the outskirts of the capital city from which, an extremely dangerous energy could be felt.
The dark sky above the Empire was quickly collected together by a miraculous energy while the stars hid behind the curtain of menacing clouds. A sudden feeling of suppression covered the hearts of the rising sun citizens. They unconsciously walked out of their infrastructure to gaze upon the strange scene while an eye-piercing flash of light emerged from the outskirts of the capital.
With the capital covered in darkness, this flash remained majestically prominent, slowly morphing into an old man with a long wavy beard and open white hair, flowing like the wind. His crimson robes remained unblemished and the inscription of white phoenix onto the crimson robes looked all the more majestic.
Gazing towards the sky, Lucia directly ignored the strange scriptures surrounding the Empire as his grim expression observed the changes in the sky.
A tribulation!
To achieve rank 6, a Cultivator needs to go through a major tribulation while to etch even a single skill on the treasured house, the Cultivator needs to bypass the minor tribulation to assimilate the tribulation energy and the chaos element to stabilize one's own realm.
To achieve a breakthrough to Rank 7, the Cultivator needs to face another major tribulation rivalling a Rank 7 skill in its might.
Meanwhile, Jarul opened her eyes while sitting inside her own treasure house. Waving her hands, the skill was finally completed while the skies in the real word growled menacingly, creating a blood-red sun, equally astonishing as the bright flash of light.
Emerging from her world, Jarul eyed the skies calmly while she, just like her father, ignored the entire world and immediately found Lucia's old self almost a city's distance away.
Meanwhile, Lucifer gazed at the duo, his smiling face sent chills to Lutheran, Vayuu, Nirman and Goldan— the previous clan masters of the Golden, Blue, Black and Red Flames.
Deep down, they wished the Devil to be smote, unlike the thoughts of their own sensual ex-wives. Meanwhile, Agni looked at Lucia with silent rage and Rani gazed upon her elder twin's seductive body with a cold smile.
She would definitely have fun this time around!

"This is—"
Opening his eyes, the white-haired man failed to see physically, yet, the majestic wheel present in his vision seemed to ve filled with a lot of cracks, almost to the point of breaking. His expression grew panicked while the existence sealed inside the man itself was stunned speechless.
"This is way too soon! The wheel of fate... oh! What the hell is he doing?! Does he not remember the original plan?! I sealed that idiot in the mortal realm so that he can be free from the fate's control... but this! This is atrocious!"
The man's expression immediately changed while he scorned deeply!
"Don't you dare whine! If not for you betraying your own parents, how could this even happen! How could my child be this burdened and how could the world still remain in chaos?
You devil! You are the root of all problems! All the sadness and all the destruction!"
Hearing the man's shout, the existence haunting the consciousness of the man immediately chuckled deeply and shrugged his accusations.
"Do you know what we angels called you humans, back then? Before it all started. Before you opened the Pandora's box and riled up your ancestor, Eve.
Chaos.
We called you chaos because there is not a shred of peace inside you!
Hahahahahaha!
For better or worse! The wheel of fate will perish tonight!
For better or worse! The world will be plunged into chaos... TONIGHT!"
The existence's deep and savage roars shook the man's heart as he immediately started creating the seals to allure more and more infernal creatures into the Holy City.
'That's right... for better or worse...'
He sighed, continuing his own task to complete his destiny.
On the other hand, the skies above the Rising Sun Empire grew more chaotic and Lucifer finally spoke calmly.
"Start the formation."
