Filling the chaotic void with a beam of light, their eyes stung as they heard the pained roar of the Origin Dark Beast.
"Did it work?"
As if hope ca dancing to their side, they forcibly opened their eyes, hoping to catch the first glimpse of its destruction.
Unfortunately, as the beam of light collapsed, they saw only a more frenzied Origin Dark Beast, enraged by the attack.
"It’s over..."
If such an attack couldn’t work, what more could they do?
"No, it’s not!"
"Huh? Sister Skye! Why are you here?" Zar asked, seeing Skye and hundreds of others arrive at their side.
"We’ll protect the Aeon Plane before our husband, Maximus Shadowcrest, advances!" Skye declared, as her domain spread into everyone.
Fueled by the power of her physique, Origin Immortality, as long as she had enough energy, no one could die.
"It’s not enough. I’ll help you, Skye," Iris said with a smile, rging her domain with hers.
Possessing the sa power of immortality, unlike Skye’s, which could resurrect, hers granted immunity to damage and corruption of dark energy.
Blessed with immunity to death and corruption, the powerhouses felt their minds clear as all their wounds and pain were swept away.
"The damage we dealt earlier should be enough to fight this Origin Dark Beast," Max muttered, assessing the beast’s injuries.
Combining the power of tens of thousands of void outposts and the Tower of Knowledge, capable of annihilating a tier 13 dark beast, the Origin Dark Beast had sustained serious injuries.
Furthermore, thanks to Iris’ domain, which reduced the pressure they felt by half, they believed they could even kill it themselves.
"Haha, it seems Maximus still has so backup!" Marcus laughed, eager to challenge the Origin Dark Beast.
"Let’s go! Don’t waste any ti, or it’ll recover!" Zar dashed forward eagerly, facing the Origin Dark Beast.
Boosted by Skye and Iris’s domain, the other overlords also charged without fear.
Since they couldn’t die, what was there to fear in the Origin Dark Beast?
Soon, facing the Origin Dark Beast head-on, the overwhelming suppression they felt earlier had faded to a faint pressure.
Though their bodies began to stagnate, they could still move and launch attacks.
With strikes coming from all directions, the Origin Dark Beast seed like a helpless lamb, ripe for slaughter.
However, before they could celebrate, their joy quickly turned to a nightmare.
It was not a lamb, but a dragon that could devour them.
Though they couldn’t be killed, they still felt pain so intense it made them want to end their own lives.
"Argh!"
The rapid corrosion and recovery seed to plunge them into endless torture, breaking their will.
"Leave this battlefield! Take care of the other tier 13 dark beasts! We’ll handle this," Skye ordered, sending most of the overlords away.
With the Shadowcrest family and other top overlords by her side, they could still hold the Origin Dark Beast on their own.
"Hold on... We must hold on until Husband advances!" they muttered, fearlessly facing the Origin Dark Beast.
Cornering it like a trapped animal, it roared in fury, as if it couldn’t believe these ant-like powerhouses could actually trap it!
Unable to break free from their binding net of attacks, it ordered all the dark beasts to invade the Aeon Plane from all directions.
Leading a massive swarm of dark beasts, they swooped toward the Aeon Plane, piercing its barrier for their invasion.
Soon, within just hundreds of years, tiny holes began to chip away at the Aeon Plane, allowing weaker dark beasts to invade on a massive scale.
Usually, this shouldn’t have been easy, but their sheer numbers and strength far surpassed those initially surrounding the Aeon Plane by thousands of tis.
From a river that couldn’t flood the land, the Origin Dark Beast unleashed an ocean that could drown the world.

Inside the Aeon Plane, Liam, who was holding the fort, sensed sothing.
"They’re coming. Is everyone in position?"
"Everyone reported in the Virtual Realm. They’re all in place," Lux confird, checking the data.
Unlike past invasions, where dark beasts could only enter the Dark Void Domain, Neo had modified the array to allow only tier 12 dark beasts inside.
Rather than risk the Dark Void Domain collapsing from an overload of dark beasts, it was better to let the smaller ones through.
Without the net capturing all the dark beasts, the Aeon Plane had to face attacks from all directions on its own.
Fortunately, they were no longer as helpless as before.
At this mont, the tens of thousands of void outposts that had fired earlier had already spread across the Aeon Plane, positioning themselves in key locations like an array.
Controlled by an Absolute and supported by countless powerhouses who had forged their paths of law, the net expanded further.
Surrounding them were countless tier 10 and tier 9 powerhouses, wearing rings of origin that boosted their power.
Completing the formation, it ensured every part of the Aeon Plane was protected.
As the dark beasts invaded from all directions, the defenders fought with all their might, as if it were their last stand.
Dark beast after dark beast, strike after strike, they refused to yield an inch, faintly suppressing the erging dark beasts.
However, as thousands of years passed, the dark beasts didn’t subside but grew even more nurous.
Facing an endless battle of attrition, no matter how often they rotated fighters or how many powerhouses ca to support, it felt like a hopeless struggle.
The sa was happening in the Dark Void Domain.
Led by Isabella and Rose with their trillions-strong army, they killed thousands upon thousands of dark beasts every year.
Even as they slew tier 12 dark beasts with the might of an invincible army, they grew weary, numb from the relentless fighting.
The dark beast tide, unleashed by the Origin Dark Beast, was simply too massive to make any sense.
Having fought and killed millions of tier 12 dark beasts, there was still no sign of the enemy’s numbers dwindling.
Yet, clinging to the hope that Maximus’s advancent could end it all, they didn’t give up, patiently biding their ti.
"Soon... Just a little longer..."
