"Shinra Tensei."
Ren Kai's eyes transformed into golden Rinnegan.
He raised a hand and released the technique.
The violent snowstorm and Demon God Andrius were instantly blasted ten kilometers away.
Andrius crashed directly into a mountain.
Shaking his head, he glared at Ren Kai with fury. His authority over the blizzard surged to its maximum, and the storm's range continued expanding.
"Looking for death."
Ren Kai's expression darkened.
If the blizzard kept expanding, it might reach the convoy and innocent travelers.
He immediately used Limbo: Border Jail.
"Awooooo!"
Andrius suddenly began flying through the air like a ragdoll.
Four invisible Rexasis clones were relentlessly beating him.
Yet the blizzard kept growing.
Seeing this, Ren Kai ordered the four clones to strike Andrius's head with full force.
Four crushing blows smashed the wolf god into the ground, leaving behind a massive crater.
After those devastating hits, Andrius lost consciousness.
The blizzard finally stopped.
Even so, six kilometers of land had already been devastated by the storm.
Ren Kai walked toward the unconscious Andrius.
He began considering whether he should simply kill the wolf god now.
Otherwise, the creature would only cause trouble again when it woke up.
At that moment—
A warm breeze drifted in from the direction of Mondstadt.
The lingering snow was gently blown away.
Soon after, an elegant sound of a lyre echoed through the air.
"Honored Lord Rexasis, I deeply apologize."
"It was my failure to properly manage my territory."
"May I take him back? I promise he will be punished accordingly."
The Anemo Archon Barbatos approached Ren Kai and bowed politely.
His tone was extremely sincere.
"So the little wind spirit from the past has grown this powerful."
"How about we fight?"
Ren Kai looked at Barbatos—Venti—with interest.
He was genuinely a little annoyed.
All he had done was kill a few wolves and boars to stretch his muscles.
Yet enemies kept appearing one after another.
He had thought defeating Andrius would end things.
But he hadn't expected Venti himself to come.
According to Rexasis's memories—
Barbatos's strength was roughly at the early Six Paths level.
Meanwhile, the Geo Archon Morax, following the usual timeline, was only at the mid Six Paths level.
Of course, Morax was technically his younger brother.
Naturally, he had learned better cultivation methods to improve himself.
"…."
Venti froze.
He hadn't expected Ren Kai to want to fight him too.
Although he had heard rumors of Rexasis's death—
The person before him was unmistakably the War Demon God himself.
The wind had told him.
The four invisible figures surrounding him earlier were Rexasis.
"If you don't fight…"
"You won't be taking that foolish wolf with you."
Ren Kai said coldly.
"…What if we pretend I was never here?"
Venti stepped backward twice.
Then he turned and ran away.
Ren Kai stared speechlessly.
As expected of the laziest drunkard Archon.
"You want to run?"
"Unfortunately, I'm in a bad mood."
"Dance with me, Barbatos."
"Universal Pull."
Ren Kai rose into the air and activated Banshō Ten'in.
Venti was instantly dragged back by gravity.
Panicking, Venti blew a powerful gust of wind from his mouth, using the propulsion to push himself away.
"Tsk."
"You even know Luffy's tricks."
"Nice idea."
Ren Kai increased the chakra output of the technique.
In the next instant—
Venti was pulled directly into his hand.
Ren Kai grabbed his neck tightly.
"If you don't show me something impressive…"
"I won't mind killing you."
Ren Kai released a terrifying killing intent that shot into the sky.
"I mean… you could just kill me."
"I've lived long enough anyway."
Venti said helplessly, completely resigned.
"Very well."
"I'll grant your wish."
Ren Kai spoke coldly and tightened his grip.
Crack.
Venti's neck snapped.
But the broken neck instantly turned into a wisp of wind.
His entire body dissolved into air.
He had escaped again.
"He ran again?"
"In that case… I'll just kill the wolf."
Ren Kai smiled coldly.
He raised his hand toward Andrius.
"Planetary Devastation."
The ground shattered.
Massive rocks and trees rose into the sky.
The unconscious Andrius was pulled toward the forming satellite.
Just as Ren Kai prepared to close his fist—
Several violent wind blades cut through the air.
They shattered the Planetary Devastation and swept Andrius away at incredible speed.
Within seconds, they had traveled several kilometers.
"Sigh…"
"Why do you keep trying to run?"
"Wouldn't it be better to dance with me?"
Ren Kai sighed helplessly.
Golden light erupted from his Rinnegan.
He took one step forward—
And vanished.
The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Andrius.
This was the second ability granted by his golden Rinnegan.
Void Dominion.
Whether Kamui, Flying Thunder God, or the spatial abilities of the Ōtsutsuki—
None could compare.
Void Dominion allowed Ren Kai to control all space within a ten-kilometer radius.
Even enemy space.
In a straight-line movement, he could travel up to one thousand kilometers instantly.
The range would grow with his strength.
"Lord Rexasis!"
"Please don't take this seriously!"
Venti appeared again with a helpless expression.
He casually summoned a gust of wind to carry Andrius away.
"No."
Ren Kai rejected him coldly.
He raised his hand.
Space twisted violently.
A forty-meter-long Void Blade formed.
"Lord, whatever you want, just say it!"
"I'll do it!"
Venti immediately shouted.
He could clearly sense the terrifying power of the Void Blade.
"Oh?"
"You're willing to grant any request?"
"Interesting."
Ren Kai smiled and dismissed the blade.
"Yes!"
"Please, name it!"
Venti wiped the sweat from his face nervously.
"Let me think…"
"From now on, every road between Mondstadt and Liyue must remain safe and open."
"And regarding the Feiyun Commerce Guild—"
"Mondstadt should give them better trade privileges."
After thinking for a moment, Ren Kai realized he lacked nothing.
He had wealth, property, and status.
A beautiful fiancée.
Two adorable daughters.
Helping the Feiyun Commerce Guild seemed like the best choice.
"No problem!"
"I'll arrange it immediately!"
"Safe travels, Lord!"
Venti hurriedly agreed.
He was afraid Ren Kai might think of more demands.
Deep down, Venti understood.
A being like Rexasis lacked nothing.
"By the way…"
"When I reach Mondstadt later, you should treat me to a drink."
"You are the host after all."
Ren Kai suddenly turned back and said.
Venti nearly jumped in fright.
"Oh! Of course!"
"It would be my honor!"
After realizing the request was harmless, Venti finally relaxed and replied cheerfully.
