"Bloodwing, I thought of you as a good friend, and this is how you repay me!"

Bloodwing led a group of powerful figures, menacing and obviously not planning to let go, which made Athena very angry.

Bloodwing was a terrifying powerhouse, his cultivation reaching the peak of the Other Shore, almost advancing to the Supreme Saint Realm.

However, Bloodwing was not human, but a different species!

In the present age, humans are dominant, and although Bloodwing's cultivation was powerful, he was often ostracized.

Athena had known him for many years, always interacting genuinely, never showing racial discrimination.

Athena believed she treated him well, but Bloodwing sided with evil, aiding the wicked, not only toppling the savior but also capturing her sister, and now trying to poison her, which filled Athena with deep hatred.

"Athena, can you not see the situation in front of you?" Bloodwing said. "The whole world is in chaos, you and I are but tiny boats in the sea, without the protection of a strong figure, one big wave could send us sinking!"

"So, you betrayed yourself!" Athena sneered.

"I betrayed no one, I merely acted with the times!" Bloodwing replied.

"No, you betrayed yourself, you betrayed your faith!" Athena shouted.

"Haha," Bloodwing laughed. "I have betrayed my faith, but so what?"

"Everyone needs faith to live; abandoning your faith means you are doomed to a bad end!" Athena said coldly, looking at Bloodwing.

"Athena, are you trying to scare me?" Bloodwing suddenly laughed, full of wild arrogance. "You, an Other Shore Grand Master who couldn't even consolidate a hall, dare to scare me?

"Athena, you're courting death; even the gods can't save you!" Bloodwing's blood wings fluttered, stirring up a bloody wind, pouncing toward Athena.

"..."

The blood wind posed no threat to Athena, but Bloodwing's murderous intent was exposed, making Athena's face serious, with an indescribable gravity.

Just like Bloodwing said, even if he abandoned his faith, so what? Who can do anything to him?

Athena was already an Other Shore Grand Master, her cultivation undeniably powerful, even among the world's elites.

However, compared to Bloodwing, she was nothing!

If Bloodwing fully unleashed his power, he could crush her, leaving her powerless to resist!

Bloodwing's earlier cultivation was similar to Athena's, perhaps even inferior.

However, Bloodwing turned to evil, gaining empowerment, and his cultivation suddenly became unmatched, surpassing Athena in one leap.

The transformed Bloodwing had become a great menace, nearly achieving the saintly path, becoming akin to the master of a divine court.

Moreover, beside Bloodwing was a group of grand masters, each nearly invincible, with even the weakest able to match Athena.

Faced with such a terrifying lineup, how could Athena resist or escape?

Looking at Bloodwing and the grand masters behind him, Yalina felt a sense of despair and powerlessness over life.

"Athena, do you still want to fight like a trapped beast?" Bloodwing looked at Athena. "Stop trying to resist, because it's all in vain, you're doomed to never escape!"

"Heh!" Athena gave a light laugh.

"For the sake of our many years of friendship, if you surrender, I won't trouble you!" Bloodwing said. "And, I will take you back to the divine court, to reunite with your sister!"

"Reunite?" Athena sneered.

The Bright Divine Court had already been occupied by evil, the once boundlessly holy court had become a den of filth!

Moreover, the divine court was controlled by an invincible being, whose cultivation was unimaginable, completely beyond Athena's understanding.

Bloodwing had joined forces with that being, which caused his cultivation to soar unbelievably!

The being controlling the divine court was evil, wiping out countless forces, acting extremely overbearingly, essentially prospering those who follow, and annihilating those who oppose!

Athena was washed in blood by this being for disrespecting him.

If not for Yalina's desperate rescue, Athena would have long been lost.

However, though Yalina had faced a grave disaster, she was not dead, but imprisoned.

Athena narrowly escaped, always longing to rescue Yalina, how could she possibly jump back into the fire pit?

"Athena, the master greatly admires you and wants to grant you immortality!"

"Stop being stubborn, come back with us to the divine court!"

At this moment, Bloodwing spread his wings, pouncing towards Athena, not intending to give her a chance to escape.

"Bloodwing, if you force me any further, I'll fight to the death with you!" Athena, seeing Bloodwing approaching, erupted with vigor, showing a do-or-die stance.

"Fight to the death? Do you have that right?" Bloodwing sneered.

Athena was a powerful grand master, but without consolidating a hall, no matter how strong, it was limited.

However, Bloodwing's cultivation was earth-shattering; he had not only consolidated the Other Shore Palace but was also nearly achieving the path.

The difference between them was too great; if not for Athena continuously evading, avoiding a direct encounter with Bloodwing, she would have long been a caged bird.

Moreover, behind Bloodwing was a group of grand masters, each no weaker than Athena, making this a certain death scenario!

"Bloodwing, stop wasting words on her!" a grand master said. "We've already been delayed for days; if we don't return to the divine court soon, the master will be displeased!"

"Right!" another grand master spoke. "We can't fail again, we must capture this girl back!"

"Let's act together, suppress Athena, and give her no chance to rise!"

A group of grand masters shouted, their bodies moving violently, sealing off the space, trapping Athena.

"The heart of the War God, burn!"

Bloodwing and his companions charged madly, infuriating Athena. In an instant, she began to burn her own essence, using her life to fight!

The heart of the War God is Athena's core, the key to her Consolidated Hall, and the source of all her power, it cannot suffer any damage.

However, Bloodwing and his companions are too terrifying, each one not weaker than herself. If Athena did not ignite the heart of war and go all out, she would absolutely face certain death!

"Athena, you're so foolish to burn the heart of the War God, this is suicide!" Bloodwing shouted upon seeing this.

"We only want to take you back to the Divine Court, we're not trying to kill you, is burning the heart of the War God not a bit excessive?!"

The heart of war is akin to the heart of the path, and after burning it, one's power surges explosively.

But the consequences of burning the heart of the path are simply dreadful, unbearable for anyone.

After Athena burned her heart of the path, she indeed gained invincible cultivation, but after invincibility comes weakness, as powerless as an ordinary person, and this weakness lasts a lifetime!

Thus, seeing Athena burn her heart of the path, the expressions of all the Grand Masters changed, a kind of indescribable shock.

Athena is destroying her own future!

"I would rather stand and die than live on my knees!" After burning her heart of the path, Athena's body shimmered with a dazzling radiance. "You push me so far, I will return one day to make you regret everything you've done!"

"Boom!"

Athena emanated a brilliant light, pressing towards the group of powers as if holy light had descended to baptize all beings.

However, how can the strong accept baptism without resistance?

Athena's holy light baptism instantly enraged the powerful, provoking slaughter.

"Even if you burn the heart of the War God, you're only at the hall level combat power, thinking to match us is pure delusion!"

A group of Grand Masters roared, all unleashing their Divine Secret Skills, striking at the sky filled with holy light.

"Boom!"

The Grand Masters clashed chaotically, producing huge vibrations that shook the entire rainforest, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble.

Athena was suppressed by a group of Grand Masters, her situation precarious, facing capture at any moment.

Yet her spirit and momentum were astonishing, like a goddess of war, standing undefeated.

"Holy Light Extinguish!"

In her battle with the group of Grand Masters, Athena didn't linger too long but sought to break through and escape, to break out of this predicament.

Athena's foundation was too weak, even after burning the heart of war, she remained at hall-level power, there was no hope of a turnaround, she could only seize the opportunity to escape.

Moreover, Bloodwing and his companions were too fierce, if Athena fought to the death, her end would be tragic.

"Whoosh!"

Athena sliced through the confinement of the domain, her body transforming into a swift shadow, darting through the jungle.

"Athena, you won't escape!"

Bloodwing crossed the sky, the wind roaring, the Bloodwing man following her like a shadow, making it impossible for Athena to shake him off.

"Bloodwing, you bastard!"

After burning the heart of war, if Athena focused solely on fleeing, no one else could catch her, only Bloodwing could keep up with her.

And Bloodwing's combat power was extremely fierce, even with the heart of war burning, Athena was no match for him!

At this moment, Athena only wanted to escape, others couldn't catch up, only Bloodwing's persistent pursuit made her both sorrowful and angry!

"Athena, burning the heart of war can enhance oneself, but this enhancement is time-limited!" Bloodwing said. "How long can you hold out? Ten minutes, twenty minutes, or half an hour?"

"..."

Athena remained silent, evading Bloodwing's attacks, her face almost frozen over.

Bloodwing was right, burning the heart of war can enhance one's combat power, but this enhancement is not without limits!

The state of Athena burning the heart of war can only be maintained for thirty minutes!

This means that once she exits this state, she would be invaded by weakness, powerless, this is the price of burning the heart of war!

So, if she can't escape within thirty minutes, she would become a captive, at the mercy of others!

"Boom rumble!"

As Athena hurried to escape, a roaring sound echoed from all directions, an invincible power spread, forming a barrier blocking Athena's path.

Moreover, the Grand Masters she had shaken off appeared from various directions, surrounding her in the center.

In an instant, Athena felt a chill of despair rising in her heart!

"Athena, stop struggling in vain, you can't escape!" A Grand Master arrogantly approached, coldly speaking to Athena. "We knew you would try to escape, so we set up a great formation around here, forming a barrier, sealing off all your escape routes!"

"From the start, you've been in our calculations, unable to escape!"

A group of Grand Masters pressed aggressively, sealing all of Athena's escape routes, leaving her with no way to heaven, no door to the earth.
