In her previous life, Luka went on to become the most terrifying expert of the era.

With his luck, even all twelve calamities weren’t his match, and he had survived them unscathed.

Plotting against someone with unfathomable luck was dooming oneself.

Except for the fact that Kathryn had met the mysterious lady who could restrict luck, she was unwilling to doom herself.

Even harboring thoughts of evil towards Luka could lead to her death.

And if not her death, all sorts of bad luck could befall her.

Like, her plans towards Kranos crumbling. The thought alone was enough to make her reconsider her actions.

Kathryn didn’t dwell on such thoughts. She had to focus on the task at hand.

At this moment, she, Kevin, and Luka had reached the battlefield.

She stared at the surroundings and then said lightly to her brother.

“You will stay far away from the battlefield and shoot down any danger we miss,”

She then turned to Luka.

“You will swoop in and take the relic. Leave the rest to me and just prioritize your safety and taking the relic.”

As Kathryn finished relaying the information to the two of them, emerald green divine flames began surfacing on her hand. The air around her grew thick with heat.

Kevin and Luka nodded at her, then quickly made their move.

Luka rushed towards the direction of the battle, while Kevin retreated wildly, a massive divine bow appearing in his hand.

Kathryn also moved at this moment.

Surrounding her was a wave of flame that made her seem akin to a tornado.

She radiated an intense heat, and black flames had already begun to surface around her as well. The flames danced and swirled, an ominous sign of the power she was about to unleash.

The surrounding onlookers were stunned.

Here, there were no God Realm cultivators, and the highest cultivator present was only at the God Incarnate Realm.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel a sense of danger?” a female cultivator was stunned and turned to glance at the massive pillar of flame that was forming. The air shimmered with the intense heat, and she felt a prickling sensation on her skin.

At that moment, Luka without hesitation swooped in and took the relic. His movements were a blur of speed and precision.

Everyone was startled.

“It’s that sneaky cultivator again. Quick, we can’t let the relic fall into his hands.”

“Bastard, quickly hand over the relic if you don’t want to die.”

“You actually dare to steal the relic once again. Do you have no shame?”

Multiple shouts rang out from the God Incarnate cultivators who were fighting.

They had paused their fights and instead targeted Luka.

Luka just sneered in disdain and didn’t pay them any attention. He felt a faint sigh escape his lips at how troublesome his life was.

Fortunately, he had prioritized learning a movement technique above all else.

Without speed, how could one hope for greatness?

With that thought, Luka once more increased his speed. He was a streak of light, a phantom in the chaos of battle.

Just as the surrounding onlookers moved to stop him, they felt a burning sensation on their skin. The heat was becoming unbearable.

They were stunned and quickly turned to look at Kathryn, who was turning into a pitch black flame.

This flame held hints of emerald.

Just as they were filled with shock, staring intently at the flame in a daze, it moved and exploded outwards from her body, leaving Kathryn standing there with a slightly pale expression.

Then the flame moved at lightning speed, spreading in all directions.

“What is that fire?”

“How horrifying!”

The flame latched onto the surrounding cultivators, causing them to scream in shock. They were stunned by the fire. However, before they realized what was happening, it had consumed them.

They tried to extinguish it using their mana, but to their surprise, the fire was burning their mana as well.

It was practically inextinguishable.

Everyone was filled with fear, and horror permeated throughout the surroundings. The air was filled with the sickening smell of burning flesh.

Seeing the scene unfold, the cultivators who weren’t caught in the range of the flame prioritized their lives and quickly rushed out towards the other relic.

They couldn’t risk their lives and didn’t bother with the relic in Kathryn’s hand.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand cultivators had died to her flames.

Such a scene sent a chill into everyone’s hearts. They were filled with dread.

Staring at Kathryn as though she was a monster, they didn’t dare utter a word as she calmly walked towards the still dazed Kevin. She also turned her attention to Kranos and Aurora’s direction.

Then, she was momentarily stunned. They too had finished their battle.

How swift!

‘Since you need time to completely break through, I will satisfy your desire.’

There was also the fact that Kranos was about to compete with Aurora.

He was excited. The thrill of competition was a rare feeling for him.

He definitely wouldn’t lose.

Although Aurora was unaffected by time, it was only for now.

It was mostly because his control of time was insufficient.

When had time ever been inferior?

Time could only be the greatest and continue to become even far greater than everything.

What was the essence of nothingness?

In the end, it was still nothing compared to time.

With all these thoughts, Kranos attacked.

At this moment, Kranos had created a sword technique for the first time in a while.

This sword technique was something he just created in a flash of inspiration.

However, different from all his other sword techniques, this sword technique could now integrate time.

This was something Kranos had been struggling with for the past few years.

He hadn’t been able to integrate his time ability into his swordsmanship. Finally, he had achieved that goal.

‘I will call this sword technique, the Hundred Ghost Heaven Cleaving Sword.’

Kranos said in his head.

Time was still paused, and Aurora had already begun killing the surrounding cultivators.

Her kill count had already numbered up to a hundred.

But Kranos wasn’t bothered. He slashed repeatedly and created a gust of wind which blew.

Feeling the slight chilling wind, Aurora was stunned.

She stared at Kranos and saw him waving the Eternal Hunger like a child.

‘What is he doing? Doesn’t he know how to use a sword? Why… wait, something is wrong. Why is the surroundings suddenly silent?’

Aurora was just surprised when her surprise increased.

Everyone had suddenly become silent.

Although time was paused, she could still feel the auras of the surrounding cultivators. But now? She could no longer feel it as though they had vanished.

Her gaze no longer focused on Kranos and snapped to her surroundings.

Then she saw something that left her shocked.

Kranos was using another time ability.

Scattered across the battlefield were disappearing ‘Kranos’s’.

His figure was fading slightly, and Aurora noticed that they had numbered up to a hundred.

In an instant, all Kranos’ hundred ghosts had slaughtered ten thousand cultivators.

Aurora’s eyes widened.

What sort of technique was this?

The Hundred Ghost Heaven Cleaving Sword was a technique that used the concept of time clone movement.

Creating a hundred time clones in an instant, Kranos used Eternal Hunger to slash at his surroundings.

Eternal Hunger became a hundred in an instant.

And its sword light moved, reaping the lives of all ten thousand cultivators. The silence that followed was deafening.

The moment he did this strike, Kranos felt spent.

All the more than one million time points he had gathered were exhausted.

However, Kranos wasn’t too bothered.

Instead, he felt elated. A triumphant feeling washed over him.

Because at this moment, Eternal Hunger let out a sharp cry.

The time points it had obtained were simply too much.

Because of this, Eternal Hunger was quickly breaking through.

Kranos felt the change in Eternal Hunger, and the moment it let out the sharp cry, he tossed it into the time space.

He turned to look at Aurora, who was staring at him with wide eyes, her mouth hung agape.

Kranos had, in a single strike, slaughtered all the cultivators in the surroundings.

For her to do the same thing, it would take some time.

But if, during that time, Kranos executed similar attacks a few more times, she knew, his kill count would soar.

She couldn’t stand a chance.

In the end, Kranos had surpassed her.

She couldn’t defeat him in this battle. She had to admit her defeat.

There was no other way. She could only sigh repeatedly and accept her loss.

‘How terrifying was that attack?’ she was also still recovering from her shock.

Kranos calmly walked a few meters forward at lightning speed and took up the relic, then tossed it into his spatial ring.

After that, he turned to his surroundings, vanished with Aurora, and released the flow of time.

Using their movement techniques, they turned into a streak of light and headed towards Kathryn, Kevin, and Luka.

As time flow returned to normal, everyone’s eyes widened.

What happened?

What the hell happened?

They felt as though they had seen the most ridiculous scene.

Those that were outside the range of Kranos’ attack trembled in fear.

How was this possible?

They didn’t even realize how ten thousand of the others had died.

“Which monster? Which monster?” one of the Monarch Realm cultivators who was lucky to be alive cried out.

The others quickly turned to the direction of the God Realm cultivators.

But they were all dead.

“This is not the work of a monster. We have a demon here!”

“There is a demon in our midst!”

The demon of time.
