After three days, Crimson and the other three forbidden beasts had fully awakened their innate bodies, showing they had finally become true forbidden beasts like Kharvok.

They had also awakened their bloodlines, making them super powerful and more relatable.

Crimson, who was already a monster in his own right, had become a freak of nature. Kent even wondered if he could kill him this time around if they were to fight again.

Of course, he knew killing him was still within his capabilities. But defeating him would prove a bit daunting, especially after he had awakened True Immortal Sword Energy.

He had even transferred the method of cultivating absolute sword energy to him so that he could become much stronger if he mastered it.

Knowing what he had gained after attaining absolute sword energy, it made Kent wonder just what would become of this subordinate of his after he was done learning absolute sword energy.

For now, he can only wait and see what happens.

The other three forbidden beasts had also become at least ten times stronger now. Kent was even shocked when he discovered all three of them had awakened innate bloodline abilities.

He allowed them to showcase their abilities for a few minutes before nodding with satisfaction.

"Very well, guys. You’ve all made me proud. However, we have work to do and little time to do it, so maybe we should get back to that first," he smiled and revealed his plan.

"There are over a hundred forbidden beasts here. Our mission is to kill all but 23 of them. Those 23 will soon become your brothers and sisters."

They nodded.

"We first have to hunt and kill the beasts not on my list. Afterwards, we will visit the 23 beasts one by one, from the weakest to the strongest, adding them to the family as we move.

Also, we have to be on the lookout for your friends coming from the Chaos Layer. If they aren’t worthy to join our ranks, we will kill them, god or not.

So you should prepare for a battle unlike any other."

Crimson smiled, his red eyes narrowing as his hand brushed against his greatsword. "Let them come. I have been planning on going on a rampage anyway."

Kent could only wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t arrived early to make most of the beasts his companions.

’Crimson is scary and to be frank, he is perfect for my future plans.’ Kent said inwardly, ’Looks like I hit the jackpot this time around.’

Kent smiled and added more details to his plan. After he had said enough, they left to rid the tormented layer of all forbidden beasts.

Grand Dark Lich Barnabas felt his connections severed when Crimson and the others became Kent’s subordinates. Soon, however, he would feel hundreds taken from his web of modified forbidden beasts.

***

While Kent was away, taunting powerful beings he had no business messing with, his wife, Inaya, was also on her way to attaining Supremehood.

After Baldy and his big brother Han had shut everyone up, Inaya started forming her Supreme Platform, or, more like, upgrading her god platform.

Unlike Kent, who already had a cultivation platform long before he became an Immortal, cultivators first create one when they ascend to the Immortal stage.

During ascension, they undergo Immortal Platform Creation.

Afterwards, they would upgrade it to the God Platform when ascending to godhood. At this stage, the owner would have to temper it vigorously with the laws and other affinities before vying for the Supreme stage.

However, while immortal and god platforms are relatively easy to cultivate, the process of ascending to the Supreme stage is complex yet rewarding.

In the grand scheme of things, a cultivator’s potential is determined by their cultivation platform.

While at the Immortal and God stage, it isn’t considered much, since the laws are the primary focus, it can’t be denied that the larger the cultivation platform, the greater the cultivator’s potential for growth.

Kent has a rather large cultivation platform at the Immortal stage, making him someone with limitless potential. His talent is uncontested.

However, at the Supreme stage, instead of merely wielding a cultivation platform, one can possess multiple layers of it, achieved by comprehending the Dao and challenging the Supreme Ascension Bridge associated with that Dao.

The deeper one understands the Dao, the more layers one can pass through when one challenges it.

Ordinary folks end up maintaining one layer. Good enough ones go up to 3 layers. Slight geniuses like Ainna manage to awaken five layers.

Many go as high as 10 layers, while the geniuses among them, who add meaning to the strength of the universe, go as high as 15 layers.

On rare occasions, some manage to reach 20 layers, and even 25.

Lord Genesis reached 20 layers back then, a feat that made him one of the greatest in the universe.

But before him, the Chaos Dragon in all of the history of the Primordial Era reached the 38th layer, and even the Ruthless Bandit and Pill Celestial Kevin Sage managed to reach the 40th layer.

Inaya, being a one-of-a-kind genius, is expected to reach a much higher layer. So, after hours had passed and she hadn’t finished the Supreme Platform formation, many started wondering about many things.

"If she really was the partner of Lord Genesis, then she wouldn’t come out without exceeding the 20th layer," a Supreme said, drawing attention to himself.

"What do you know? When I ascended, I was only able to reach the 10th layer. Even then, I am sure the Dao had pity on me and let me win in the end."

"And you think you can compare yourself to someone who walked side by side with the first person to ever reach the peak of swordsmanship?"

"Tsk, what is there to be impressed about?" another Supreme with a smug look on his face said, making sure many heard him. "Lord Genesis may have been the first person to reach the peak, but many eras have passed, and the world of swordsmanship has improved. I am sure there are many better swordsmen now than he was back then."

His argument was within reason. After all, a lot had happened, and many talents appeared after Lord Genesis died, so it was only normal for him to say that.

Even if Kent were here, he wouldn’t be offended by what he said. It was his dream for the world of swordsmen to grow and keep growing even after he was no more.

It was why he made sure his knowledge reached the billions before he left for the final battle against the foreign race. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

However, the man who spoke forgot one thing. He was in the midst of Lord Genesis fanatics.

A grey-haired man with a tribal mark on his left cheek sneered, "I always knew the Lancaster Family had men with small dicks and jelly brains. Now you have proven me right, Jenrob."

"How dare you, bastard." The man who looked down on Lord Genesis unleashed his aura and retrieved his sword, about to lunge at the grey-haired man, when a sudden beam shot from Inaya’s body and split the clouds.

BEAM BEAM BEAM...

Nine more beams, each bearing a different colour, shot from her body and pierced into the clouds, splitting them apart. All around, everyone focused their attention on what was about to happen.

After all, the moment they had been waiting for had arrived, and none of them would want to miss it.

Baldy summoned a small sword, and so did Han.

Vexthre and her sisters did as well.

Finally, the Six Ancient Primordial Beasts also summoned their weapons, knowing full well that this was the stage at which Inaya would become the most vulnerable, and the enemy might attack at any moment from now on.

Vexthra looked at Ainna. "Have you seen anything yet?" she asked, but Ainna shook her head.

"I saw no grim future, but I can sense danger—multiple dangers." Her expression grew tense as she said those words.

"Relax and stay behind the Void Null Shield." She nodded and made up her mind to die first before anyone dared lay a finger on her best friend.

Just then, Inaya climbed to the first layer...

"Evaluation has started," a Celestial said, his fingers tapping a cylindrical item as a malicious grin formed at the corner of his mouth.
