Before returning to the human world, Qin Xian still had one thing left to do—hunt down a Void Lord to complete his first class mission as an Oracle Knight. With the World-End Banquet concluded, the Void Overlords returned satisfied.
As Overlords of the void, they possessed unmatched power, yet carried with them an endless hunger, one that tormented them ceaselessly and compelled them to devour and destroy worlds.
The World-End Banquet served as the only reprieve from this eternal hunger. However, Void Overlords no longer needed the banquet to grow stronger—their power had already reached the absolute peak.
Those Chosen Champions and Void Lords who had survived the banquet emerged greatly strengthened, with combat power soaring several times over. Every World-End Banquet gave rise to a new batch of Void superpowerhouses, who would become the main pillars in the invasion of various civilized worlds.
“I evolved into a Void Lord…” The [Bloodrage Chosen] Goethe had a look of exhilaration on his face. Over the past month, he had fought countless brutal battles and devoured vast amounts of energy, finally evolving from a Chosen Champion to the rank of Void Lord.
His appearance had also transformed—he no longer looked human. Now, his body was engulfed in flames, resembling a war god born of fire.
Though he was only the lowest rank of Void Lord, Goethe still received his own title: [Chaos Demonblade] Goethe. From this point forward, he wielded the power of chaos and officially became a Void Lord under the Third Royal Court.R
At this moment, Goethe’s eyes brimmed with madness. Once, he had been a brave warrior filled with noble qualities, cherished as a savior by the beings of his world. But all those noble traits were consumed the moment he became a follower of Bloodrage.
He betrayed his faith, his companions, and gave up his soul for the sake of survival. Like many other void believers, Goethe would now do anything for power. The surge of strength boiling inside him drove him to the brink of insanity, though none of the surrounding void powerhouses found this strange.
The Void Lords under the Third Royal Court were all this mad, all obsessed with war, incapable of meaningful communication.
It was precisely during his evolution to Void Lord that Goethe’s soul had been most deeply corrupted by the Bloodrage Overlord.
In that unstable state, no one could predict what the newly-born Void Lord might do. Goethe’s frenzied gaze swept around as if he were picking a target. He was nearly driven mad by his insatiable desire for battle—and that was when he saw Qin Xian.
“The little prince of the First Royal Court…” Goethe’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Ever since becoming a follower of Bloodrage, Goethe had suffered immense torment within. He had once been a proud and noble warrior, revered by his people as a hero destined to save the world.
But everything changed when his world fell. He had fought, desperately trying to save it, but that ambition was slowly eroded by the endless swarm of void creatures. In the end, facing death, he chose to surrender and offered his soul to the Bloodrage Overlord.
Now, Goethe looked at Qin Xian, who stood like a celestial prince amidst the stars. As a Chosen of the Third Royal Court, he had heard much about Qin Xian. This so-called little prince had, upon returning, slain one of the Third Royal Court’s own princes—Liza.
And not only did Qin Xian go unpunished, but the Third Royal Court also suffered devastating retaliation. The power of the Void Empress had nearly destroyed half the court, wiping out countless Chosen Champions. Rumor had it that Qin Xian had come from another civilized world as well.
A surge of jealousy welled up in Goethe’s heart. Why had his fate been so cruel and tragic? Why had he always lived in pain and suffering?
During this unstable period after his evolution, especially as a follower of Bloodrage, Goethe was most vulnerable to losing control. His deranged battlelust instantly clouded his mind. In the next moment, that battlelust surged toward Qin Xian—Goethe had issued a challenge.
This scene instantly drew everyone’s attention.
“Courting death!” Behind Qin Xian, the Calamity Witch Alwen and the other Void Lords of the First Royal Court all wore expressions of rage.
In their eyes, Goethe was nothing more than a lowly corruptor, a tainted Chosen Champion. Qin Xian, on the other hand, was the Void Empress’s offspring, a descendant of a Void Overlord—one of the noblest beings in the entire void. How dare Goethe challenge His Highness Qin Xian?
However, the Overlord of Slaughter remained calm.
Though the Void Empress had already warned all royal courts not long ago, this incident wasn’t part of any scheme. Goethe, having lost all rationality as a Bloodrage follower, was simply acting on primal instinct.
Even the Overlord of Slaughter couldn’t control such behavior. As the true master of the Third Royal Court, he naturally would not intervene. While he feared the Void Empress’s influence, he would never submit to the First Royal Court. Among the Seven Royal Courts of the Void, there was no true hierarchy.
The Void Empress furrowed her brow slightly, already preparing to crush this foolish insect, and perhaps even punish the Third Royal Court for good measure. But just then, a smile appeared on Qin Xian’s face.
Facing Goethe’s challenge, this Slaughterer Chosen’s madness stirred something in him. Instead of irritation, he felt a spark of eagerness.
After all, Goethe had just evolved into a Void Lord—he was a perfect candidate for completing Qin Xian’s class mission.
