Bruno tensed up and was surprised. ’What the hell are demons doing here? Could it be...’
’Yes, we released the seal that held the remains of that giant demon. Then, we looted everything on the fifth level and destroyed all the evidence. It was related to them, so they must be investigating everything extremely carefully.’ Alm finished coldly.
Bruno then thought carefully. ’They shouldn’t be the demons connected to the cultivators of the Three Extremes Sect. So, there really is another separate group of demons linked to the evil cultivators and everything here.’
Within the memories of the last hours of Elder Anzo, they were able to see everything he saw and even his thoughts on the day of his death. The entire scene of the seven men returning, and Anzo recalling legends he heard about another group of demons with the evil cultivators was now known to them.
’This place is called the Abyss Prison, and we know it is truly connected to the abyss. For these demons to enter here now, it’s clear that they live hidden in the abyss.’ Alm concluded.
Bruno agreed. ’That secret place of the Three Extremes Sect that Anzo mentioned is certainly something similar to the abyss of the evil cultivators. There are many things we don’t know, and more doubts are arising. We have to visit this abyss and buy as much knowledge as we can as soon as we get out.’
They slowed down their pace, and Alm calmly sensed the movement of the demons. There were two of them, and they came from the third level. They were moving slowly, as if waiting for something. But it didn’t take long for even Bruno, who had his perception completely restricted, to feel the powerful gazes multiplying in their direction.
’There are almost ten elders watching us... I would be happy with that before, but with these demons nearby, things are getting risky,’ Bruno murmured mentally.
’It’s not just the elders; almost a hundred disciples are surrounding us,’ Alm said seriously, and then an evil laughter sounded. ’It seems like the elders planned to use the older disciples to capture us. It’s a security measure in case the patriarch finds out.’
’And the demons?’ Bruno asked thoughtfully.
’They seem to be slowly searching things. Can’t tell if they’ll do anything.’ Alm commented, sensing their location, and then his bloodthirsty excitement seemed to explode. ’Well, let’s just accept the offering...’
’Ruri, get ready; we’re going to have a show. Activate all the runes you sealed on your body for protection. Also, don’t leave our side for any reason.’ The whale spoke mentally to Ruri as a large amount of QI entered her meridians, ending the training she was undergoing.
The Mental Drawing Technique condenses mental power into a rune; the initial purpose was to connect the rune with something and interfere with it, but the runes were also very resistant, and within the prison, they could be used as a stockpile of mental power. It was not very efficient but was useful, providing assurance that Ruri could protect herself a little with them.
Ruri nodded, feeling the excitement coming from her master, then floated and was placed on the back of the whale. They walked for half an hour, going halfway to the next level; then, immediately, a muffled roar came from inside the whale’s body, and a large amount of infernal laws around him was swept away. Its physical cultivation was activated to the limit, so the ground beneath its feet cracked with its physical strength, and it shot off quickly.
The elders were attentively watching the whale’s movements when an extreme shock passed through them. All ten of them ran desperately, sending messages to the other elders.
Two minutes of pursuit passed, and practically all twenty elders who were monitoring the test were moved in the direction of the whale. But then, they realized the route the whale was taking, just evading the disciples surrounding them, passing through the space between them.
’He managed to perceive the movement?!’ An elder sent the message to everyone after they noticed this peculiarity.
Another more experienced elder calmly analyzed the whale’s route and spoke, ’He indeed has many secrets, but still, he has low cultivation and doesn’t want to take risks. From his movements...’ The whale suddenly changed direction, interrupting the elder’s thoughts.
’He’s heading back to the northern zone! If he goes back and dies there, it’ll be very suspicious.’ Another elder spoke quickly. ’Summon all the disciples and move them to surround him before he crosses the area!’
Quickly, a frenzied movement in the southern region of the second level occurred. There were about three hundred and fifty disciples; initially spread out but not too far from each other, they now converged in a coordinated movement by the elders, completely encircling the whale.
Soon, the whale’s speed decreased only slightly, but all the elders noticed it quickly. ’Great. This arrogant bastard was too far from the safe zone, and now his strength is waning. He won’t be able to escape in time.’ An elder spoke relieved, but everyone was terrified of the physical power of this whale.
The whale first ran to the left, as if it wanted to escape the encirclement, and after a while, it went north, as if it wanted to flee; now, after running for five minutes, when it was less than a minute away from reaching the northern zone, it stopped with a tense look in the midst of that scarlet world.
It took less than five seconds for the sounds of hundreds of footsteps to approach from all directions. The whale’s expression twisted in extreme concern. At a good distance from it, the twenty elders who could sense the changes in it grinned maliciously; simultaneously, several dark wings emerged from the backs of all of them. Then, a technique that used infernal laws was unleashed in sync.
The space around the whale suddenly twisted, and the scarlet world seemed to freeze. In the next second, a giant circular dome formed while the infernal laws were swept away, revealing the entire environment clearly inside.
The whale’s face turned pale, and its eyes trembled at the sight around it. All three hundred and fifty disciples surrounded them from all directions, and a formation enclosed them, leaving no chance for escape. All the disciples looked at the whale in the center, clearly seeing its expressions; soon, dreadful smiles emerged on their faces.
"Hahahaha, looks like the so-called Evil God-level talent wasn’t all that great. He fell as quickly and early as a mediocre disciple." The sarcastic voice of a woman with red hair echoed as she took steps forward.

The two leaders of the disciples approached together, indicating their alliance. The man, unlike the woman, didn’t laugh, but his expression was extremely malicious, especially when he glanced at Ruri.
"A young woman from Montide, and they’re always hard to come by; it seems I’ve hit the jackpot. Don’t worry, she’ll be well taken care of." He spat coldly, anticipating. Disciplining through slow torture until witnessing the mind shatter was a sensation he appreciated quite well.
Quickly, the man froze and then looked surprised at the little girl, feeling her intense and bloodthirsty gaze; then, he smiled even more, satisfied with the greater fun he would have later. The whale stood there as if waiting for something, but three seconds later, its pale face seemed to vanish, as if it had never existed.
"The demons haven’t moved yet and are far away," Alm confirmed. Then, two Yin and Yang tattoos glowed on the whale’s fists. "We’re cursed, earned half a million abyss crystals a few hours ago, and now we’ve had to burn it all. At least the bloodbath is always fun; quality entertainment has its cost."
Bruno sarcastically commented, "What idiots, this dome has swept away all the infernal laws, and that allowed them to use Qi now. However, did they forget it also allowed us to use our Qi freely? Truly ridiculous..."
All the disciples drew their weapons, seeing the air changing around the whale. Did it want to resist? How pathetic, everyone thought.
Then, in the next second, the whale’s eyes transformed into a deep earthy brown, casting its ancestral power over the world. A tense silence hung in the air as the elders outside felt a dark premonition stirring in their hearts.
Within the dome, the three hundred and fifty disciples watched with wide eyes as a formidable shadow manifested in the center of the power. Its form was enigmatic, accentuated by three majestic horns on top of its head. Suddenly, a deafening roar, whose echo reverberated only in the souls and minds of those disciples, resounded.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
The earth trembled in response, and from the ground erupted thousands of earth spears like a deadly dance, menacingly reaching towards the sky!
Outside the dome, everything lasted a second, impossible to react to. Only the eyes of the elders moved and watched, stupefied, as the confined space disappeared in an instant, shrouded in a red bloodstorm that obscured everything, signaling the inexorable arrival of death and total massacre.
