A World in Fear
The rise of the Red Emperor's empire had shaken the balance of power. In mere months, his rule had transformed a crumbling kingdom into an unstoppable force.
Trade flourished, technology advanced, and warriors trained relentlessly. Weaker nations bowed in submission, while stronger ones watched in fear.
But fear breeds desperation. And desperation leads to war.
In a secret gathering, the rulers of all major kingdoms formed an alliance. They had one goal—destroy the Red Emperor before he became truly untouchable.
The Declaration of War
A royal messenger arrived at the imperial palace. Before he could utter a word, he was dragged before the Red Emperor's throne.
The hall was silent. The air was thick with tension.
The messenger, trembling, unrolled a scroll.
"The allied kingdoms have declared you a threat to world stability. If you do not surrender your throne and dismantle your empire, they will march upon you with their full force."
The court erupted into whispers, but the Red Emperor remained motionless. His golden eyes gleamed with cold amusement.
Then, in a single motion, he rose from his throne.
"Surrender?" His voice was calm but carried the weight of a thousand storms. "Tell them this—"
He took a single step forward, and the entire palace shook.
"If they seek war, I shall give them a war that will make the heavens tremble."
The Invasion Begins
Within days, armies from all corners of the world marched toward the Red Emperor's lands.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Countless war beasts.
Legions of powerful cultivators.
They descended upon the empire like a tidal wave, determined to crush it before it could consume them.
The world had united against one man.
But they had underestimated him.
The Red Emperor's Wrath
As the first wave of enemies approached the borders, the Red Emperor did not wait for them to strike first.
He led the charge himself.
With a single slash, mountains were cut in half.
With a single step, the ground cracked beneath his might.
With a single roar, thousands of soldiers trembled in terror.
Blood painted the earth, and the sky burned with fire.
The World War had begun.
And this time, the monster they feared was no longer hiding in the shadows.
