The moment the crack appeared across Cornelia’s cocoon—

The entire vampire realm trembled once more.

The surrounding vampires immediately held their breath while staring fixedly toward the second cocoon suspended beneath the Blood Moon.

Ivira still floated peacefully nearby with closed eyes, her long white hair drifting endlessly through the crimson skies like moonlit silver touched by blood.

And now—

Another awakening had begun.

Crack.

The glowing fracture across Cornelia’s cocoon spread wider afterward.

Then wider again.

Ancient blood mana surged violently around the cocoon while crimson storms erupted throughout the heavens once more.

The surrounding races observing from distant borders immediately became tense again.

Because the pressure gathering around Cornelia’s cocoon—

Already felt terrifying.

GrandLord Dreath slowly clenched his fists while staring upward.

Lord Vord himself looked visibly shaken now.

Even Elder Achilor no longer hid the disbelief in his expression.

Because after witnessing Ivira’s awakening earlier—

No one dared underestimate what would emerge next.

Then suddenly—

CRAAAAACK!!!

Cornelia’s cocoon split apart violently.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A gigantic wave of blood authority exploded outward instantly afterward.

The entire vampire realm shook heavily while endless crimson light flooded the heavens once more.

Several weaker vampires fell directly to the ground from the overwhelming pressure alone.

Even emperor-level vampires staggered backward slightly.

The Blood Moon above pulsed brilliantly afterward.

Then—

The phenomenon began.

Unlike Ivira’s awakening earlier—

Cornelia’s phenomenon felt wilder.

Heavier.

More tyrannical.

The blood mana erupting from her shattered cocoon transformed into gigantic crimson whirlpools spinning throughout the skies endlessly.

Massive blood lightning exploded across the heavens continuously while ancient crimson roses bloomed one after another throughout the air.

The surrounding vampires widened their eyes.

Because every blooming crimson rose radiated terrifying blood authority strong enough to distort space itself.

Meanwhile rivers of blood mana descended from the Blood Moon directly toward Cornelia’s awakening figure continuously.

The heavens looked as though they were raining bloodlight itself.

And slowly—

A figure emerged from the shattered cocoon.

Cornelia.

The surrounding vampires immediately froze again afterward.

Because she too—

Had changed completely.

Her pale skin glowed faintly beneath the crimson moonlight while ancient blood runes drifted gently across portions of her body before fading slowly into her skin.

The overwhelming blood authority surrounding her distorted the air violently around her floating figure.

And her hair—

Her once brown curly hair now flowed far longer than before beneath the crimson heavens.

Long cascading brown curls drifting endlessly around her body like living silk touched by moonlight and blood.

The surrounding vampires stared upward with complete awe.

Because Cornelia no longer merely looked beautiful.

She looked dangerous.

Like an ancient blood queen awakening beneath the heavens themselves.

Then—

Her eyes slowly opened.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The entire realm shook again.

Several emperor-level vampires immediately lowered their heads instinctively afterward.

Because the moment Cornelia opened her eyes—

The blood authority radiating from her body intensified absurdly.

Far stronger than before.

Far stronger than logic allowed.

And just like Ivira—

Everyone sensed her cultivation clearly.

Blood Foundation Realm.

Only Blood Foundation Realm.

Yet the overwhelming pressure leaking from her body made even GrandLord Dreath look smaller in comparison.

The surrounding races observing from afar immediately retreated farther again afterward.

Kael’s wolf instincts screamed endlessly now.

The ancient elf Sylvera’s face had become pale.

Because the blood authority surrounding Cornelia felt monstrously ancient.

Pure.

Absolute.

Several surrounding vampires unconsciously began kneeling again afterward.

Then more.

Then more.

The pressure of superior bloodline instinctively forced reverence from those beneath it.

Meanwhile—

Near the back of the gathering—

Cain stared upward silently again.

Then immediately cursed internally afterward.

Because the blood pact connection exploded once more.

BOOOOOOM!!!

Ancient blood authority flooded into his body continuously through the connection between him and Cornelia afterward.

His strength surged again.

His blood mana grew denser again.

Even his suppressed Overgod physique reacted violently beneath the strengthening.

Cain genuinely looked irritated now.

"...This is ridiculous..."

The strengthening no longer resembled ordinary cultivation benefits.

This felt closer to direct evolution.

And somehow—

The bond between him and the three sisters continued deepening continuously beneath the Blood Moon.

Meanwhile Cornelia floated silently amidst endless crimson roses drifting throughout the heavens while blood mana storms circled around her endlessly.

The surrounding vampires could barely even breathe properly while staring upward.

Because every movement from her carried terrifying blood authority naturally.

Then slowly—

Cornelia lowered her gaze slightly.

Her crimson eyes drifted across the vampire realm beneath her.

Across the kneeling vampires.

Across GrandLord Dreath.

Across the heavens themselves.

Then finally—

Her gaze briefly passed toward Cain’s direction.

Cain immediately stiffened slightly afterward.

Not because she recognized him.

But because the blood pact connection surged violently the moment her gaze passed nearby.

Then—

Just like Ivira earlier—

Cornelia slowly closed her eyes.

The blood mana storms surrounding her softened gradually afterward while the crimson roses throughout the heavens drifted gently downward across the realm.

And beneath the Blood Moon—

Cornelia quietly fell asleep suspended in midair too.

The vampire realm remained completely silent.

Ivira floated peacefully beneath the Blood Moon with closed eyes while endless silver-white hair drifted softly around her body.

Nearby—

Cornelia also floated asleep amidst falling crimson roses, her long brown curly hair swaying gently through the blood-red skies while overwhelming blood authority continued radiating naturally from her sleeping figure.

And now—

Only one cocoon remained.

Faith’s.

The surrounding vampires stared upward without blinking.

Not a single being dared speak.

Because after witnessing the awakenings of Ivira and Cornelia—

No one could even imagine what would emerge next.

The final cocoon pulsed softly beneath the Blood Moon.

Then—

RUMBLE!!!

The heavens shook violently again afterward.

The remaining cocoon suddenly radiated an even denser crimson-black light while ancient blood mana currents erupted around it like violent storms swallowing the skies themselves.

GrandLord Dreath’s expression changed instantly.

Because the pressure leaking from Faith’s cocoon—

Felt different.

Heavier.

Darker.

The surrounding races observing from afar stiffened visibly too.

Even Kael instinctively stepped backward.

The ancient elf Sylvera gripped her staff so tightly faint cracks appeared across the wood.

Because unlike Ivira’s sacred pressure—

Or Cornelia’s tyrannical blood authority—

Faith’s awakening felt dangerous.

Anciently dangerous.

Crack.

A glowing fracture slowly spread across the cocoon afterward.

Then another.

Then dozens more simultaneously.

The surrounding vampires immediately felt their bloodlines tremble violently inside their bodies afterward.

Several weaker vampires collapsed entirely to the ground.

Even emperor-level vampires looked visibly strained now.

The Blood Moon overhead pulsed harder.

BOOOOOOOM!!!

The heavens exploded violently.

Faith’s cocoon shattered instantly afterward.

And this time—

The phenomenon surpassed everything earlier.

The entire vampire realm darkened suddenly.

Not because light vanished—

But because an enormous crimson-black eclipse spread across the skies behind the Blood Moon itself.

The surrounding vampires widened their eyes in horror and awe simultaneously.

Because the heavens themselves had changed.

A gigantic black halo surrounded the Blood Moon now while rivers of crimson bloodlight poured endlessly downward throughout the realm.

Ancient blood runes filled the skies once more.

Only this time—

The runes appeared darker.

Older.

Far more terrifying.

The surrounding races observing from afar immediately retreated farther afterward.

Because the blood authority spreading from Faith’s awakening no longer merely felt overwhelming.

It felt predatory.

Then—

A figure slowly emerged from the shattered cocoon.

Faith.

The surrounding vampires collectively held their breath.

Because unlike Ivira’s serene beauty—

Or Cornelia’s queenly presence—

Faith looked eerily majestic.

Her pale skin glowed faintly beneath the eclipsed moonlight while ancient dark crimson runes drifted slowly across portions of her body before disappearing beneath her skin.

And then—

Her hair fluttered.

Strong black hair.

Longer than before.

Darker than the night skies themselves.

It drifted violently around her floating figure beneath the crimson-black heavens like living darkness touched by blood.

The surrounding vampires stared upward completely mesmerized now.

Because Faith looked less like a newly awakened vampire—

And more like something ancient descending from forgotten blood myths.

Then suddenly—

Her eyes opened.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The entire realm shook violently.

Several emperor-level vampires immediately knelt again afterward.

Even GrandLord Dreath himself felt his bloodline tremble beneath the pressure erupting from Faith’s body.

And once more—

Everyone sensed it clearly.

Blood Foundation Realm.

Only Blood Foundation Realm.

Yet the blood authority radiating from her body felt impossibly terrifying.

Far stronger than ordinary Ascendants.

Far stronger than reason itself.

The surrounding races observing from afar immediately panicked now.

Kael’s wolf instincts screamed uncontrollably.

The ancient elf Sylvera’s face had turned pale.

Because Faith’s blood authority felt ancient beyond comprehension.

Like standing before an apex predator hidden beneath the shape of a sleeping queen.

Meanwhile—

Near the back of the gathering—

Cain immediately stiffened again.

Then almost cursed aloud afterward.

Because the blood pact connection erupted violently one final time.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!

A monstrous surge of blood authority flooded directly into him from Faith afterward.

Far stronger than earlier.

Far stronger than Ivira and Cornelia combined.

Cain’s suppressed Overgod blood reacted violently beneath the influx.

Ancient crimson symbols flashed across his skin briefly before vanishing again beneath concealment.

His strength rose again.

His blood mana deepened again.

Even portions of his soul felt strengthened unnaturally beneath the connection.

Cain genuinely looked disturbed now.

"...What exactly happened to them..."

The strengthening had become absurd beyond absurd.

And the bond—

The blood pact—

No longer resembled ordinary connection at all.

It felt terrifyingly alive now.

Meanwhile—

Faith floated silently beneath the eclipsed Blood Moon while endless crimson-black blood mana spiraled around her body continuously.

The surrounding vampires remained completely overwhelmed by her presence.

Even the air around her distorted heavily beneath the blood authority leaking naturally from her body.

Then slowly—

Ivira remained asleep.

Cornelia remained asleep.

But Faith—

Did not close her eyes.
