The moment Ren Kai stepped through the portal, he crashed straight into an undead skeleton, shattering it instantly.
At the same time—
He realized he was already surrounded.
Without hesitation, he activated his half-body Susanoo, wiping out the skeletons in front of him in an instant before rising into the air to survey the battlefield.
What he saw—
Was a nightmare.
The Elven Forest was engulfed in flames, and countless undead swarmed it from all sides.
The trees themselves had transformed into treants, forming the first line of defense.
Even as they burned, they continued to resist the tide of undead.
But the defense line was already collapsing.
Half of the forest had been destroyed.
All the elves were fighting desperately alongside the treants.
At the center—
Elf Queen Ipgia controlled the Heart of the Elves, while several elders guarded her.
Above the battlefield, skeletal dragons circled the sky.
Each one carried a true lich—draped in black robes, their decayed skin clinging to bone, eyes burning with soul-fire.
Their target—
Ipgia.
They continuously bombarded the elven elders with necromantic magic.
Ren Kai scanned the battlefield—
Then locked onto the true enemy.
At the peak of a mountain outside the forest—
Sat the Death Demon God, Uralis, upon a throne of bones.
"Sage Art: Wood Release — Deep Forest Emergence."
Ren Kai activated his Rinnegan and simultaneously unleashed Limbo: Border Jail.
The battlefield shifted instantly.
Massive trees erupted from the ground, crushing the undead army and relieving the pressure on the forest.
At the same time—
Four invisible Rexasis clones from Limbo rushed into the sky, tearing apart bone dragons and pummeling the liches.
"Lord Rexasis!"
Ipgia's voice rang out across the forest.
Hope returned.
The elves roared with renewed determination.
"...You shouldn't be here."
Ren Kai hovered in the air, staring coldly at Uralis.
"So… you're truly alive."
"My traitorous follower told me before he died."
"I didn't believe it."
"But now…"
"I have no choice."
"And the most interesting part?"
"He also told me…"
"The Heart of the Elves can restore my body."
"Hehehehehe…"
Uralis's skeletal jaw rattled as he laughed.
"Do you remember how you killed me?"
"You took my body."
"You turned me into this—neither man, nor ghost, nor god."
"Rexasis…"
"The ancient grudge ends today!"
Uralis roared.
A barrage of soul attacks surged toward Ren Kai.
The Rinnegan absorbed them effortlessly.
"If you hadn't run back then…"
"I would have ground your bones into nothing."
Ren Kai replied coldly.
At that moment, memories surfaced.
The battle—
Long ago, in a corner of the Abyss.
Back then—
Uralis had possessed Six Paths peak strength.
Now, he had fallen to the early Six Paths level.
But his authority—
Undeath and souls.
That made him incredibly troublesome.
Without the Sword of War, Rexasis had no way to suppress that authority completely.
"You don't have your sword anymore."
"Nor your former strength."
"Hehehehehe…"
"What can you possibly do to me?"
"How about this?"
"Give me your body."
"I wonder how I should torture you…"
"Maybe I'll turn your soul into a lich!"
"Hehehehehe…"
Uralis continued rambling endlessly.
He was one of the few demon gods Rexasis truly despised—
An immortal, talkative monster.
Meanwhile—
Ren Kai pretended to listen.
But behind the scenes—
The Limbo clones had already destroyed all the bone dragons and liches.
The elven elders and treants began clearing the battlefield.
"These weaklings?"
"I can summon as many as I want."
"Now…"
"Rexasis—give me your body!"
Uralis stood.
His bone throne transformed into a massive skeletal sword.
He swung it.
His authority activated—
A wave of death energy surged forward.
Anything it touched would be bound and consumed—endlessly.
Ren Kai instantly used Void Dominion to appear before Uralis.
With his war fan, he unleashed—
"Sage Art: Fire Release — Dragon Flame Tornado!"
A massive inferno engulfed Uralis.
But—
A skeletal hand reached out from the flames.
Uralis walked out unharmed.
"You can't do anything to me."
"Hehehehe…"
"Give me your body."
"Or I'll unleash death upon the elves."
His laughter grew more twisted.
"Unfortunately for you…"
"That won't happen."
Ren Kai's Rinnegan flared with golden light.
In an instant—
Both of them were transported thousands of miles away—
Above the open sea.
"That's fine."
"You can run if you want."
"But I'll slaughter the elves."
"Then Liyue."
"And Inazuma too."
"I'll kill everyone you know."
"Destroy everything you've touched."
"Just like you hunted me before."
"Hehehehe…"
Uralis taunted him.
He wanted to prevent Ren Kai from escaping.
"You talk too much."
"Void Grip."
Ren Kai attempted to erase him—
But it had no effect.
"I love that look on your face."
"You want to kill me…"
"But you can't."
"I'll just stand here."
"What can you do?"
Uralis sneered.
"Endless Blades."
Ren Kai unleashed the full power of Void Dominion.
Hundreds of void blades appeared—
Then thousands.
They slashed continuously—
Wave after wave.
But Uralis didn't move.
He endured all of it.
"Hehehehehe…"
"If not for the Sword of War suppressing me…"
"You never would have won."
"Die, Rexasis!"
He roared.
The sky darkened.
Endless souls surged forth—
Summoning thousands of bone dragons and liches once more.
