Mumbai Port Area...
The two massive walls of cultivation energy collided.
A deafening roar shook the entire coast as the front lines of both armies slammed into each other at full speed. The first wave of the clash was an absolute explosion of elemental magic.
The Frost family’s heavy vanguard legions, acting under Lily’s desperate family emergency command, took the absolute brunt of the initial impact. Hundreds of high-level ice mages from the Frost clan thrust their hands forward, instantly activating an advanced defensive array.
A colossal, jagged wall of absolute glacial ice, over a hundred feet tall and miles wide, erupted from the ground to block Da Vinci’s advancing mages.
On the opposite side, Da Vinci’s allied wizard academies did not slow down for a single microsecond. They chanted in unison, their magical staves glowing with a violent, crimson fire attribute.
A massive wave of highly compressed meteors and roaring fire dragons crashed directly into the glacial wall. The collision of extreme ice and supreme fire created an absolute wall of scalding steam that completely blinded the battlefield, but the sound of shattering barriers and clashing steel continued to echo through the dense fog.
"Hold the line! Do not let their vanguard mages pierce the inner perimeter!" a Clark family core elder roared, his voice amplified by spiritual energy as he swung a massive greatsword, unleashing a golden arc of Overlord Warrior energy that cut through a dozen academy shields.
The dark-armored elite guards of the Clark family moved with perfect tactical precision. They did not focus on an aggressive chase; they followed Ancestor Kent’s precise, defensive stall instructions.
They deployed their heavy iron shields, interlocking them to form an unbreakable wall while activating the ancient Nine Layer Earth Barrier around the mansion lines. Every time Da Vinci’s wizards unleashed a catastrophic wide-range spell, the golden runic barriers of the Earth array would hum violently, absorbing the impact and dispersing the lethal energy straight into the ground.
From his floating position high above the chaotic battlefield, Academy Master Da Vinci watched the defensive stability of the Clark lines with absolute, mad desperation.
The global live stream was still actively broadcasting every single second of the war to millions of viewers, but Da Vinci could care less about his public image now. His eyes were entirely bloodshot, his mind completely focused on the fact that every single passing minute was bringing Tony Clark closer to escaping this world forever.
"Trash! All of you are useless trash!" Da Vinci shrieked, his majestic robes completely fluttering in the stormy wind as he stepped forward in mid-air. He realized that if his supporting armies kept testing the defensive barriers with standard spells, it would take them days to break through. He had no choice but to use his ultimate leverage.
Da Vinci turned around and bowed deeply toward a magnificent, floating carriage made of ancient spiritual jade that had been hovering silently at the absolute rear of his armada.
"Supreme Ancestor Long! The Clark family is utilizing forbidden ancestral arrays to protect the global criminal Tony Clark! They are completely mocking the authority of the academy and the empire! I humbly request your Excellency to step forward and shatter their defenses with your absolute might!"
The heavy silken curtains of the jade carriage gently parted, and a frail, extremely old man dressed in plain white robes slowly stepped out into the open air.
The moment his bare feet touched the empty sky, the chaotic lightning cracking across the black clouds instantly froze in place. It was Ancestor Long, a legendary, near-mythical expert who had lived for over four hundred years and was widely considered one of the absolute pillars of the continent’s martial history. His presence was so immense that his mere appearance made the breathing of thousands of cultivators on both sides turn incredibly heavy.
Ancestor Long stared down at the Clark estate with completely indifferent, ancient eyes. He did not care about the petty arguments regarding a treasury robbery or a tournament blessing; he had only agreed to come out of his secluded cultivation because Da Vinci had promised him a share of whatever cosmic secrets Tony Clark was hiding.
"Kent Clark," Ancestor Long spoke, his voice quiet but echoing like a massive tolling bell through the souls of everyone on the battlefield. "Your lineage has contributed greatly to this empire over the centuries. Do not let a single, arrogant junior ruin the future of your entire bloodline. Disperse your defensive arrays and hand over Tony Clark this instant, or I shall personally erase your gates from the face of this continent."
From the top of the high observation tower, Ancestor Kent Clark met the legendary expert’s gaze without showing even a single fraction of fear. He stood tall, a calm, unbothered smile remaining on his wrinkled lips as he casually held up his communication crystal to track the exact timeline. "Ancestor Long, you have spent too many centuries staring at the walls of your secluded cave," Kent replied loudly, his voice carrying an unyielding, majestic weight.
"The Clark family has never bowed our heads to empty threats, and we certainly will not start today. If you want to test our ancient barriers, feel free to strike with all your might!"
Ancestor Long’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of cold irritation flashing across his ancient face. He raised his right hand, his long fingers forming a simple palm strike that channeled the absolute, terrifying core laws of the world.
A massive, translucent hand of spiritual energy, spanning nearly half a mile in size, materialized in the clouds and began descending toward the Nine Layer Earth Barrier with the weight of an absolute collapsing mountain.
While the earth-shattering clash between Ancestor Long and Ancestor Kent officially erupted outside the mansion gates, the interior of Tony Clark’s private courtyard was a complete haven of absolute peace and quiet. The golden runic barriers outside vibrated violently from the shockwaves of the legendary palm strike, causing the expensive chandeliers inside the mansion to shake faintly, but Tony remained entirely relaxed.
He was currently sitting at his sleek mahogany desk, casually tossing various high-grade spiritual cultivation manuals and ancient scrolls into his system storage space.
Elsa was standing right beside him, her violet eyes swirling with an intense, serene adoration as she carefully folded his spare tactical cloaks and placed them inside a premium spatial ring.
The Heavenly Imperial Soul Subduing Art had done its job with absolute perfection; she did not care that her grandfather Ancestor Luka was dead, nor did she care that her entire Demonic Sea Tribe fleet was currently marching to war outside. To her brainwashed mind, assisting her big brother Tony with his packing was the single most important task in the entire universe.
The heavy bedroom door suddenly burst open, and Lily Frost rushed inside, her breathing completely ragged and her hands trembling with anxiety. She had just returned from checking the front-line casualty reports, and the sight of Ancestor Long’s descending palm strike had filled her heart with an absolute, terrifying sense of doom.
"Tony! You are still casually packing your clothes?!" Lily cried out, her voice frantic as she ran over to his desk, completely baffled by his lazy demeanor.
"Ancestor Long has officially joined the battle! He is an absolute monster from the previous era, and our Nine Layer Earth Barrier is already cracking under his physical pressure! My father and Leo are doing everything they can to hold the front lines, but if that legendary hand shatters our final array, Da Vinci’s army will flood this courtyard in less than thirty minutes! You need to take your hidden treasures and escape through the family’s secret underground tunnels right now!"
Tony slowly set down the manual he was holding and turned his head to look at his former fiancée. A slow, highly amused grin spread across his face as he saw her intense worry, completely untouched by the fear of the collapsing world outside. He stood up from his chair, his tall frame casting a relaxed shadow over the desk as he casually stretched his arms.
"Calm down, Lily. I already told you that everything is going exactly according to my script," Tony said smoothly, his tone full of his signature, shameless nonchalance. He walked over to her and lightly tapped her forehead with his finger, making her blink in surprise.
"Ancestor Long might be a big deal to the insects of this lower world, but on my grand chessboard, he is nothing more than a minor distraction used to pass the time. Let him waste his energy striking the barriers as much as he wants. The clock is ticking, and the real master of this game will be arriving soon."
Lily opened her mouth to argue, to tell him that his arrogance would get him killed, but right at that exact moment, the timeline Tony had been waiting for finally hit its mark.
An incomprehensible, absolute spatial tremor suddenly rippled through the entire peak of Mount Meru and extended all the way across the continent, instantly reaching the airspace of Mumbai. The frozen winds, the roaring fire dragons, and even Ancestor Long’s massive translucent palm strike were completely paralyzed in mid-air, entirely frozen in time by a supreme power that bypassed the natural laws of the lower world entirely.
The pitch-black storm clouds in the sky were violently torn apart, revealing an immense, blinding vortex of pure golden light that illuminated the entire city like a sudden, artificial noon.
Through the glorious dimensional crack, a majestic, pearlescent figure slowly began to descend, his galaxy-like eyes swirling with an intense, cosmic authority that made every single cultivator on the battlefield...
Including Ancestor Long and Academy Master Da Vinci—instantly drop to their knees in absolute, biological terror.
Tang Zi had officially returned from the upper realms, and the final three-day deadline had finally reached its absolute conclusion.
