Autumn's spell buffs slowly wore off and his killing intent subsided as well, he slowly landed to the ground whilst panting heavily.
He reached the ground and immediately kneeled on both knees as he coughed up mouthfuls of blood. Then slowly cracks appeared on his skin that looked like eggshell cracks, then those cracks exploded.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Massive amounts of blood immediately burst out. Autumn was covered in blood, barely even breathing at this point but he still had that demonic smile as he was feeling enormous pain all over his body.
His heart was barely beating, his organs we're destroyed leaving only the lungs and heart behind but they were also badly damaged.
But he was still alive... barely that is, it's a horrific sight to behold but there was also a strange beauty to it.
Mia and Sarah were looking at Autumn with great concern and worry but they didn't dare to come close to him as a strange sense of danger slowly cover them the moment they came close to him.
And that sense of danger saved them as Autumn finally fell down and...
BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Autumn was releasing a majestic aura of eternal damnation followed by howls of pain and agony.
His whole body covered in dark-blue illusionary flames, his blood slowly evaporated, and finally, his whole body covered in flame-like scales that made him look an ancient fiend from the abyss of hell.
Autumn slowly stood up and looked up the sky with a blank gaze but then looked around him and saw countless destruction, despair, corpses, and blood.
He then shifted his gaze to Mia and Sarah, he looked at them with a blank gaze too but there was a hint of clarity in them but slowly fade away.
"Autumn" then slowly walked towards them...
Step... step... step...
In three steps he arrived before them, both of them were covered in cold sweat, bodies trembling due to natural fear of facing a higher being or lifeform.
He then stopped 1 step away from them and slowly raised his hands and pointed his fingers at their foreheads.
Two wisps of dark-blue flames then came out of his fingertips and entered their foreheads in a flash. Then all the flames around his body then disappeared like nothing ever happened.
His body was rid of any injuries, all the blood around his has evaporated, and lastly, a dark-flame-like symbol appeared on his forehead.
He then slowly collapsed to the ground, followed by a heavy thud...
THUD!!!
Face planted right into the ground, Mia and Sarah were woken up from their strange daze as they quickly helped Autumn and lifted him up from the ground.
Then Mia slowly gently placed his head on her bosoms while slowly caressing his head. Sarah was just on the side looking all jealous but just endured it as she was gonna get her chance in the future.
After "Autumn" sent the dark-blue flame wisps to their forehead, they were in a strange space of eternal darkness with flashes of blue flames flashing out from time to time.
They could only see those two colors of black and blue nothing else.
They felt like they stayed there for millenniums on end as they slowly felt their "body" aged, die, and reborn again.
It was constant torture of the mind and soul, killing them through the passage of time and slowly feeling they're whole body weakened then dying afterwards.
As they felt that the torture was going on for like an eternity, they were then awakened by the sound of Autumn falling on the ground.
They didn't know what happened but they felt their soul bigger and stronger, their perception is much sharper, and a trace of law was imprinted in their soul but they don't know as it was deeply hidden.
As for the perspective of Autumn...
He was in a space filled with nothing but darkness, he knew that he was in his soul as he felt the familiar feeling of "motherly" comfort or "motherly love".
Then slowly his soul started to change as an image of a huge monster was then looking at him menacingly. Red glowing eyes, a body that seemed to be integrated with the darkness itself, and a majestic like aura was emanating from it.
It was like an innate ruler of the universe but not at the same time as he could perceive the energy of destruction and death within that majestic aura.
He was staring at this creature with a thoughtful look while the creature is also staring at him with a pondering look in its eyes.
They were just staring at each for who knows how long maybe an hour, a day, a month, a year, or maybe a hundred thousand years have passed.
Who knows but slowly the menacing look in that creature's eye slowly disappeared and was replaced slowly by the warmth of a close friend that they haven't met in a long time.
Autumn also had that feeling, a feeling of a close friend he hasn't seen in a long time, a very long time.
He felt that this creature is very important to him, like a part of him that he lost or chose to hide away but is now showing or manifesting itself in his soul when he collapsed.
Then the huge creature spoke with a demonic and clear voice.
"We have finally met, Autumn, I have been wanting to meet you for a long time, a very long time, old friend."
It's tone and voice contained the feeling of nostalgia and remembrance of the past but Autumn was confused as he was sure he haven't met this creature in his entire life, even in the mental world he hadn't seen this creature before.
The creature saw his confusion and just laughed a little bit and said with a mysterious air in its voice.
"Well, you shouldn't know for now as you will soon find out in the future, as the current you is still too weak to even withstand a tiny bit of my presence."
Autumn looked at this creature with even more confusion and puzzlement. He didn't even mind that he was called weak as he knows that there's a lot of people, monsters, beings, etc. that are more powerful than him.
So he wasn't affected by what it said, he was just confused as to how this creature knows him and why does he feel a strong sense of familiarity with it.
Then the creature finally sighed and said in a tone of regret.
"Well, I guess our time is up, you should take care of yourself and your companions first and get stronger before you can meet me."
"And also wait for your two future wives to grow up before you do something to them." It said in a teasing manner.
Autumn felt that the creature was gonna say something serious and it did with the first sentence, then it suddenly said about Mia and Sarah and he was speechless for a moment.
He then suddenly felt the whole surroundings spin like a whirlpool and he then heard the last sentence of that creature.
"Maybe wait for them to grow up in around a thousand years or so, as that is considered to be an adult in their bloodline." It said loudly on top of its lungs, followed by loud laughter...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Autumn then slowly opened his eyes and saw the starry sky, a round moon that was illuminating the whole sky. It looked very beautiful, just like a portrait made by a master painter, filled with different emotions and beautiful colors.
Very satisfying to watch, he then slowly felt his body and was surprised to see that all his injuries were, all his organs we're regrown magically and they were also much stronger than before, his bloodline was also much thicker than before and purer as well.
Then he suddenly felt that he was laying on something soft and supple, and also a mysterious scent that made his body fully relax.
He then stretched his hands and slowly felt what's under him and suddenly heard a strange moan of pleasure and was shocked.
He hurriedly got up and flashed 30 meters away and saw a beautiful girl in a red dress embroidered with feathers.
She looked like a phoenix but not at the same time as she exudes the aura of tyranny and power.
But that also contradicts to her seductive and gentle look in her eyes as she looks at Autumn.
It was a very weird combination of auras but it just seems right by how beautiful she looks.
It gave her the feeling of all beings should bow down to her but also giving the feeling of a gentle wife caring for his husband.
And if you haven't guessed yet, this is Mia who was touched by Autumn near her garden and she suddenly moaned in pleasure the moment he touched her.
Autumn was looking at Mia with helplessness in her eyes but he also looked at her with caringness and a warm feeling embraced his heart as he saw her worry and concern for him.
As for he knows this, it's because of Flos who was watching Mia and Sarah taking care of him every day while he was in a coma.
He was in a coma for 2 weeks straight nearing the 3-week mark.
He also saw that the whole city was destroyed, the castle was the only thing that was standing but half of the castle was destroyed.
There were no cultivators or beast that comes near this place because of the thick aura of the abyss.
The portal connecting the abyss plane and this plane is still stable and constant flow of abyss creatures comes out and wreck havoc everywhere it went to.
But those abyss creatures we're weak that could be easily killed by a team of four cultivators with the cultivation of War Spirit.
While other cultivators above War King ignore these creatures and instead focused on refining their techniques and cultivation.
This angered many lower leveled cultivators and decisively converted themselves into abyss creatures themselves and gained stronger power in return while also retaining their memories and experience.
But their cultivation method cannot be used anymore as they can only cultivate via eating negative emotions of different races and creatures.
Many higher cultivators we're then scared of this development and hurriedly prevented those lower leveled cultivators to turn into abyss creatures but it was too late as 4 million cultivators already converted into abyss creatures and was now wreaking havoc for every cities, towns, village, forest, they encounter and kill every single human, livestock, and beast.
The number of lower leveled cultivators converting into abyss creatures are still increasing and was nearing the 5 million mark.
As for how they were converting into abyss creatures it's by eating the cores, meat, or blood of the abyss creatures.
They will then feel strong pain all over their body and then slowly grow sharp teeth and claws, skin turning black along with fish-like scales or snake-like scales, growing horns that are straight from the base and slightly curve when it reaches the tip, and finally, mace-like tails or scythe-like tails that kills their prey in an unexpected angle or by sneak attacks.
Their height also reaches 2.2 meters or 3.4 meters while their muscles slowly forming and making their body looked bulky.
There are 3 million abyss creatures that have the strength of a War Saint, 500 thousand creatures that have War Sage strength, 250 thousand abyss creatures that have War Emperor strength, 125 thousand abyss creature that has God of War strength, and 125 abyss creature that has Peak God of War strength.
This is the start of the war, a war caused by the negligence of higher cultivators because of them looking down at lower rank cultivators.
A war caused by arrogance was now being retaliated with swarms of abyss creatures that want to devour their whole body and devour their pain and despair.
This is the start of the war of;
HUMANITY VERSUS THE ABYSS!!!

Well finished writing this chapter took a little while to finish since I was thinking of cool quotes to put in but didn't put any cause I forgot and too lazy to go back and write one.
Well, Autumn and his companions will now be going to the Divine city, then meet the Queen Canta Pur Ann, then go to the secret realm, then go to the abyss, then go cultivate in the Mel Luna, then go to another plane, and before leaving Autumn killed all the living things in the plane including the plane itself but maybe not or maybe yes.
It depends if I can think of an original way of having an excuse to kill an entire plane along with its creatures inhabiting it.
So meh... *growl* ughhh I'm so hungry imma get something to eat maybe be a burger with some fries or something.
I will see you, next chapter nerds, PEACE!!!
