The surge of soul force marked the beginning, and all the Blood Champions adopted defensive stances around Shura before turning their gazes toward Cain. He drew a deep breath, and the next moment, his Ego Wave pierced into the blood-water, allowing him to mark every beast before nodding.
In unison, they charged into the Blood Sea, diving through the crimson liquid at astonishing speed as they made their way toward the center of the soul force.
Surin and the other Blood Champions immediately assumed defensive postures as they sensed the presence of hundreds of Wave Champion Beasts converging upon them. And they were not alone; there were even some King Beasts amidst their ranks.
"BOOMMMMM!"
However, before the Wave Beasts could draw too near, sonic cannons materialized and collided with them. All the Wave Champion Beasts were obliterated, and the cannons pushed back the King Beasts.
Shock appeared in the eyes of Surin and the Blood Champions as they saw the might of these cannons as they shattered the beasts despite their distance of hundreds of meters. They had witnessed Cain's sonic cannon before, but it had undergone refinement. Though originally an Astral Rebirth technique, its mode of operation had changed.
They turned their attention to Cain and observed how he merely pointed his hand to unleash the blast. He had managed to wield a long-range attack with significant potency despite being an Astral Rebirth Cultivator. The reason was simple: the limitations were no longer a hindrance for someone with his mastery over the Four Basic Wave Arts.
Of course, long-range attacks were still weaker than what he could unleash in close combat. However, these techniques served well for crowd control, and he could harness the ambient Life Wave to employ them, saving his own Astral Wave.
"Do not squander time. It will be dangerous to confront King Beasts."
The Blood Champions heeded the advice and adopted solemn expressions. They would do their best not to become a hindrance.
Cain continued to unleash the sonic wave cannons, blasting the Wave Champion Beasts away and keeping the King Beasts at bay. It was a demanding but not overly difficult task, allowing the group to advance safely.
In the previous Ascendance of the Blood Moon, there had always been beasts that managed to approach within 100 meters of the group, inciting a close-distance battle, but today was different. No creature came anywhere near due to Cain's power, and in less than six hours, they reached the epicenter of the burst.
Waves of sky-blue energy emerged as a phantom figure began to manifest deep within the Blood Sea. Those waves keep everything but the youths away, marking the end of the fight against the Wave Beasts.
Shura and the Blood Champions could not discern much about the phantom figure, but Cain had a different perspective.
Cain's Ego Wave was potent enough to detect the might of the phantom, but he could not help but frown. He couldn't quite explain it, but there was something unsettling, something amiss that he couldn't quite grasp.
"Is everything fine?" Surin inquired of Cain, recognizing the young man's reaction. Despite being the senior, everyone knew who was in charge.
Minutes ticked by, and the pressure increased alongside the energy coursing through the bodies of those inside. A smile unconsciously formed on Cain's face as he felt his blood resonate. He had recently reached the Blue Blood Stage, and his power was ascending once again. If all went well, he could attain the Golden Blood Stage after reaching the Middle Wave Champion level!
Six hours finally passed, and the Blood Moon began to lose its intensity. Seeing this, the Blood Duke, Bloodless One, and others breathed sighs of relief as it seemed everything was unfolding according to plan.
However, just when the sense of security began to settle in, events took an entirely unexpected turn.
The phantom projection of the Astral Blood Beast, which should have gradually dissipated, abruptly halted. Its soul force, rather than dispersing across the Blood Sea as it should now that the Ascendance of the Blood Moon was over, coalesced instead, causing its power to erupt.
Cain, Shura, and the Blood Champions were stunned by this sudden surge in soul force. Before they could react, they were immobilized, and they could only see as the phantom began to change.
Initially, the Astral Blood Beast's eyes opened, revealing orbs that appeared as pools of blood, emitting a mesmerizing allure. Its chest then started to part, revealing its true form.
The Astral Blood Beast's wings weren't separate appendages; they formed from its very blood, and that wasn't all. A halo materialized above its head, radiating such immense power that not only did the moon turn even redder, but the entire sky across the Blood Sea transformed as well.
The Blood Duke, Bloodless #1, and everyone else in the sky were astonished; they couldn't comprehend what was happening. This wasn't the first Century Ascendance of the Blood Moon they had witnessed, yet the current events defied all reason.
However, the shock became inconsequential- Now their focus was on the safety of the youths trapped within. Yet, before they could even take action, it happened.
"ROOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRRRRRRR!"
The roar sent shockwaves rippling through the Blood Sea, throwing everything into chaos and hurling everyone in the sky away. Not even the Blood Duke possessed the strength to withstand it.
"ZNNNN!"
The sound of space shattering announced the arrival of the First Collapsing Pillar. The man hadn't departed after all; he clearly recognized the significance of the Ascendance of the Blood Moon.
While he had waited for the Blood King's appearance, a more dire situation unfolded. His eyes blazed with silver light as he peered into the Blood Sea. Even he felt the immense pressure emanating from the phantom creature.
"¡AHHHHH!"
Despite the threat posed by the phantom, it wasn't enough to deter the First Pillar from his mission. He roared, his Astral Wave erupting and his Ego Wave ascending into the heavens like a pillar capable of sundering the firmament. He went all-out as though confronting the mightiest adversary of his life.
Drawing his sword, the First Pillar swung with all his might, tearing through shockwaves and advancing relentlessly toward the trapped youths.
