While the three princesses controlled the battlefield the other three Domain cultivators were already moving with their battalions. Their goal was to infiltrate the nearby world that the devils occupied as their base of operations. With the princess handling the battlefield their trip was short and effective.
One might wonder how the hell, these cultivators could move from one world to another without a artifact right? Well, that's just it. The artifact they used was lightweight and undetectable.
Once they made it to the world barrier they were surprised to see not one guard, defensive line or even troop.
"Uhhh, something is definitely wrong..." Coldfire said as he observed the situation.
"It matters not," Thalan said as he moved forward. "We have orders, we need to put down teleportation formations and if any devils show themselves we will fight!"
Hearing this they all moved.
However little did they know they were being watched.
Deep inside the world they were infiltrating was Lord Varn. The leader of these devils and around him were hundreds of thousands domain cultivators. He had been watching everything from the princesses battles to these people infiltrating.
"Haha, isn't this fun?" He laughed watching Thalan and the others enter unpretruded.
"These idiots are just playing to my tune! Once they set up those stupid formations we will ambush them. They won't have the opportunity to call for reinforcements. At that time the real war will begin!"
Varn said as his eyes gleamed with sheer carnage.
What did the Neyru think? Fighting a war with a race that lived for carnage and blood? When it came to that aspect nobody was better than Varn. He could always think of the best ways to cause the most carnage.
And while the General set up the formation, Varn and over one hundred thousand devils watched silently and patiently.
Then after about 10 hours, Varn spoke.
"It's time, GO! All 250,000 of you go an attack those ants! Once they are taken care of, use those formations, once inside let the world of Neyru feel the true presence of us Devils!"
Varn ordered!

Meanwhile Ash, eyes finally fluttered open once again. At the age of 13 he stood at the Early Spiritual Foundation realm, something uprecendeted in all of the Galaxy. In this moment he felt strong enough to stand on his own, but he knew he was far from it.
[Congrats, Master. You have now partially unlocked your soul traits you created. Also now that you're in the Spiritual Foundation realm, you have access to divine sense and spirtual pressure. Your divine sense currently is only about 100 meters, but even still that's great compared to others.]
Ash stood up and began stretching.
"Yes, I can definitely feel the difference." He said clenching his fist. Then his eyes shifted to his system screen.
[Soul Trait - Omni- Thread | Allows user to perceive, manipulate, and weave threads that represents paths, concepts, or the essence of existence. This trait is only limited by the user's cultivation and mastery of the soul.
-Thread Perception - The user can sense 'threads' of reality-- metaphysical strands that represent concepts like gravity, emotions, causality, or even abstract ideas like hope. Due to the user's limited cultivation currently, only physical forces like momentum or heat can be sensed.
-Using this ability taxes the user's soul energy. Minor uses like nudging someone's emotions are low cost while bigger uses like reshaping an continent could cause more side effects. Such as temporary loss of power.

"Haha, how will anyone even be able to compete with me Riya?"
[Hehe, with their own cheats of course!] Riya said sarcastically as she enjoyed Ash's reactions.
And as if on cue, his mood shifted.
"Right, don't remind me that there's someone out there with some reality bending system... GREAT!"
[Haha, anyways master what do you have planned now?]
"Well, I need to finally complete this quest. Once I have my bloodline and race, I would like to have some fun. The question is though.... how the hell am I supposed to find 100 Spiritual Foundation Cultivators?"
[Well, I won't help you so don't ask Master.]
Ash's lip twitched hearing that then he looked at the quest again.
[TASK 1]
-Reach Domain Forging Realm
-Unlock Sword Aura
- Defeat 100 Cultivators of equal or higher realm
Weaker opponents will not count.
No assistance or interference allowed.
Reward - Unlock Created Race and Bloodline
He had already unlocked Sword Aura and he was a major realm way from the Domain Forging Realm. He could stay in seclusion and reach the realm within the decade, but he wanted to test his strength in the fires of real battle.
So with this thinking he used the key to the forbidden land and left.
---
He reappeared in his same cave he was using before. However the moment he appeared the enire world of Neyru trembled violently.
RUMBLEEEEE
BOOOOM
BOOOOM
BOOOM!!!!!!
The sounds caused Ash to slightly panic. He exited his cave and looked into the skies of Neyru and what he seen left him jaw dropped.
In the skies for as far as his eyes could see he saw towering figures. With skin as black as charcoal and horns on their heads. They were almost endless it seemed like.
"Uhhh Riya what the fuck is going on?!"
[From the looks of it..... this world is being invaded by devils.]
"Devils?" This was Ash's first time hearing of another race besides Humans. Although he knew they existed because he was technically a different race as well, but this was his first time seeing them. And it was a race that sounded far from anything good.
"What are they though and why are they here?"
[Devils are one of the most feared races in all of reality. This is because it's nearly impossible to get rid of them... they are virtually innumerable. And I'm not sure why they are here, but... whenever the devils make a move it always ends in one way.... ABSOLUTE CARNAGE!]
Those words caused Ash to become tense. He could feel just from the aura emanating from the skies that if he decided to fight it would be a tough one. However as his eyes continued to scan over the skies his infinity symbols shuddered.
He saw someone he missed and loved dearly in a heated battle. It was a beautiful young lady who had scars all over, but even still she stood upright battling every devil that came her way. Not just her there were two others ladies helping her.
"Nyssari.... Selvira.... Ary!!!!" Seeing his sisters being outnumbered and still fighting strong all reasoning left from Ash. Without another thought, he soared into the skies with his sword in hand.
