A full day in an uninterrupted sandstorm made everyone in the group feel uneasy. They had finally entered the most dangerous area in the entire desert, heading towards the extreme east of the continent. It was a place where only the most experienced elders dared to venture, and even then, almost half of them did not return alive.
No search missions existed in that area; no one was foolish enough to risk so much. There were some routes known to all, created after thousands of years of attempts. But none were remotely safe, as they all made several long curves in an attempt to avoid some gigantic sandstorms that remained fixed throughout history.
Almin initially mentioned that he had studied some safe routes, but the whale didn’t bother listening and led everyone in a straight line. So now, they were all inside a colossal storm.
The level and size of this storm were tens of times more intense and powerful compared to all they had experienced in the desert. Everyone was suffering intense damage, except Langrum and Goku, who had powerful bodies. Ruri was beside the whale, holding his hand, and he was helping to shield her with his Qi, but not completely; she was also training.
Langrum did something similar to Loeus, the difference being that she was covered in white scales that extended, covering the boy alongside; he was at the first level of the Qi Gathering and had no chance of defending himself yet.
When night fell, and a cold that made everyone feel desperate set in, the whale simply created a dome around them so that everyone could sleep; their world entered a peace and tranquility. For all the evil cultivators, this place was certain death for any wrong move, but for this whale, it seemed like they were strolling and training at ease.
Langrum and Almin didn’t seem amazed, having already accepted how abnormal this whale was. But now, all fifteen girls had engraved the image of this whale in an almost divine way in their minds... It’s just that he also had a divine ugliness and fatness... the girls often thought but dared not voice it out. Besides, none dared to look at the whale for too long as a quick, penetrating, and bloodthirsty gaze from a small girl cut through them. This only served to create a distance between the whale god and mortals.
That night, while the women slept, Alm and Bruno spent time sensing the entire environment within those sandstorms. The level of earth laws in this area was much more intense than the rest of the desert. Something should cause such a drastic change, and they took advantage of the fact that they had to cross it, heading towards where they felt the highest density. It was a location between the east and the south, and it seemed to be a heart pulsating with power, creating these storms.
During the day, they walked through the storms all the time and always slept peacefully at night. Soon, a week passed in this inhospitable place. Then, on what seemed like a normal day of walking, the whale suddenly stopped with tense eyes.
"Prepare to fight. Almin, command them and attack when I give the signal."
The whale spoke seriously, and everyone was frightened. There weren’t many records of demonic beasts in this region; the few that were sighted were at the beginning or end of the storms. Soon, everyone concluded that even the beasts that were one with the earth couldn’t survive there. Now, did one really exist? It must be so powerful that it would be unbelievable. And the worst part, they were within its domain.
The whale moved forward into the storm, and in a few steps, he disappeared completely from everyone’s sight. Quickly, everyone tightened the grip on their weapons, ready for the worst. They couldn’t see or feel anything, let alone an enemy attack. But in a few seconds, everyone’s minds seemed to turn upside down with a violent sound impact.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
All fifteen girls almost fell to their knees with that destructive roar. Even Langrum felt intense pain as she was protecting Loeus and had to absorb the impact for him. When everyone managed to focus their visions again, they were even more shocked. A large area around the storm was completely open, with no sign of all that previous sand. It was as if a divine wind had blown all the sand away.
Ahead, in the center of everything, they saw a giant, furry, beastly being. It had a humanoid body, but its head resembled a bull with two horns. In its hand, it held a dense piece of bone several meters long, which it wielded like a weapon.
BOOM!!!
The bone crashed onto the ground, making the world shake. The whale was incredibly agile, dodging at the last moment while that beast attacked violently in fury repeatedly. To everyone’s astonishment, Ruri was still clinging to the whale with determined eyes.
At that moment, Almin seemed to receive a message and quickly had everyone prepare. It was in the following seconds that another strike from the beast hit the ground, and the earth beneath its weapon seemed to crack open with a giant fissure.
The beast tried to pull the weapon, but it got stuck. In that second, the whale jumped onto the giant bone and ran up towards the bull’s head. Everyone held their breath, but the whale was extremely fast. Reaching the top, the yellowed world suddenly changed color.
Everything was replaced by an intense violet, and a lotus of the same color bloomed in the sky. At that moment, the eyes of the beast seemed to change, and a void appeared in them.
"NOW!!" Almin shouted, and everyone ran immediately forward.
Lances covered with laws of the winds and a sharp aura pierced the air. They all focused at the same time, and the winds seemed to merge into a single devastating blow. Just inches away from the target, the winds seemed to change, and a Yin black tone blended into it.

CRACK!!
The blow hit the beast’s chest, and the sound of the impact against an iron wall reverberated; its defenses were frightening. Then, in a timed synchronization, five women cut in succession with black swords covered in a violet aura.
First, a piercing power; then, cutting blades. At that moment, the thick fur and skin of the beast seemed to crack, and a thin layer of blood emerged. Then, the violet world was replaced by a shocking dark red.
A spear shot out of Almin’s hands, advancing, covered in the purest firepower he could muster.
BOOM!!!
The spear hit exactly at the damaged point and advanced, piercing and completely traversing the beast, emerging from the other side with an explosion of flames.
The beast fell to its knees, still alive, but the flames didn’t extinguish and covered its entire body. Soon, a sinister curse invaded its soul, and its eyes turned black as the abyss. In seconds, screams of extreme agony and pain reverberated like wails from hell.
But it didn’t last long, and a bone saber sliced through a giant, hairy head, which fell to the ground, followed by a rain of black blood. The whale took a step, and from above, Ruri, completely red, fell onto his shoulder with a smile. The women looked at her strangely, but they didn’t have time to think.
"Quick! Run!" The whale shouted and ran to the north. Almin and everyone were astonished and quickly ran together.
Langrum had her black sword in hand but didn’t attack before the leader’s order. She didn’t understand why he decided not to go all out and not let her do the same.
But after a few seconds of running, she felt the earth tremors coming from her back. Then, a dense sense of death fell over her head. She didn’t need to turn to see; there were five... ten... twenty... dozens of gigantic beasts, equal to or more powerful than the previous one!
Despair took hold of her, and everyone ran for their lives. Then, the whale’s message came to Langrum’s mind.
’Prepare all your Qi. We’re going to attack with everything in a single move! If we fail, we all die!’
