The attack on the earthen wall was heard by everyone below, accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground. The whale immediately landed on the earth, holding Ruri in its arms with a serious look. She spat out a mouthful of blood, but it wasn’t too severe.
They secured her on their back and turned around, running. The Yin and Yang tattoos were activated, unleashing power beyond the limit in the sandstorm. Suddenly, all the elders, already desperate, felt the brown world change to black. The sandstorm became so dense that it immediately covered their bodies, as if the earth itself had risen.
’Ruri, focus on communicating with Langrum and Loeus; you’ll be their eyes. Almin, go all out, sparing nothing.’ The whale quickly communicated with the two through the array.
Almin and Ruri still had some sense within this storm with the help of the earth laws in the array. Langrum and her disciple were in a situation similar to the elders, but of course, they weren’t being harmed by the sand because the whale had some control.
It all lasted three seconds. After that, in the center of the formation, the sand was pushed away by a runic gust, creating an open area of ten meters. These wind laws dissipated, and within, three figures took shape.
In a second, they became completely clear, and an impatient snort sounded, revealing them. They were three high elders who looked around somewhat incredulous, somewhat angry.
"This is a talent of the Evil God level... Well, today was your last day."
One of them spoke, and the other two thought something similar. In the next second, the three, with a thought, tried to activate their cultivations in the Heaven Stage Realm. Until all of them closed their eyes.
"This... gravity is stagnating..." In the midst of this murmur, a sharp buzzing sound hit their ears.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A shower of black feathers fell upon the three elders before they could react. In the first second, they were merely a bit surprised. Then, as if mocking them, blood sprayed everywhere, their skin cut as if the feathers were immortal blades.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the second moment, the feathers multiplied in numbers; in desperation, their cores burst with Qi output, causing internal injuries but freeing them from the gravity stagnation. They were still incredulous; now that all their Qi had been released, it should give them a moment to retreat. Their blast of Qi should have forced the feathers away. Yet... the feathers just continued to fall as if nothing had happened.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the third second, the feathers multiplied again, continuing to fall like a rain of apocalypse. All the skin on the bodies of the three were devastated, and their bones were exposed. In a desperate last resort, they defended their organs and strengthened their bones, the hardest part.
CRACK!
In the fourth second, the sound of bones breaking echoed. It was in this moment of despair that the quantity of falling feathers multiplied again, driving the three into complete mental desperation. Their minds destabilized, and they didn’t even notice that the Qi from the feathers was already one-third of the beginning, despite the larger numbers.
Whoosh!
The final feather fell, along with the last high-elder, completely shattered into several parts. Then, the sandstorm advanced, engulfing everything like a ravenous, bloodthirsty beast.
At a nearby distance, the whale breathed heavily. ’These bastards cost us all the Qi from our bodies, along with two million abyss crystals.’ Alm commented seriously.
’Luckily, they were at the first level of the Heaven Stage Realm and couldn’t use the spiritual root correctly,’ Bruno replied, focusing his senses upward. ’None of these three were our acquaintances. The patriarch of the Bloodthirsty Light Sect and the black elf wouldn’t do this. So, it must be someone from the Sect of the Infernal God.’
’We used our biggest weapon, and he definitely saw it. If he acts directly, a formation made by elders won’t isolate his fluctuations; he can’t take that risk.’ Alm analyzed while using more Qi from the crystals to replenish himself.
Bruno, turning to the healthy Ruri on his back, noticed her communicating with Langrum and commented, ’When we called in that patriarch’s favor, it was for him to use his influence, employing his high elders to attract the elders from our sect. Them offering help would be an irresistible bait for Dyen to gather all those who wanted our heads and ambush us. Everything seemed to be going according to plan...’
’The elders of the Sect of the Infernal God joining the party was expected. But the patriarch acting directly was unpredictable. Something we don’t know happened, but it doesn’t matter now,’ Alm commented, and a message from Ruri reached their minds.
’Master, Almin and Langrum managed to deal with half of them. But both of them are down to one-third of their Qi.’

A quarter of the elders was constantly wounded by the storm, and it was easy for the duo to take them down. As for the rest, even with their senses wiped out, they wouldn’t die easily. They were elders who fought amid blood their entire lives. They could retaliate on pure instinct, so Langrum and Almin had to use a considerable amount of Qi to finish them off.
’We have to finish quickly before reinforcements arrive; if other high elders join, it’s over. The patriarch can help a bit because of the formation. If we destroy it, he won’t be crazy enough to attack,’ Bruno commented quickly.
’Almin, run towards us!’ The whale spoke through the array and ran in his direction.
The urgency was great, and at that moment, Alm and Bruno noticed their own glaring deficiencies. They had no large-scale attacks, and moreover, they didn’t have a decent weapon. It seemed that whenever they were in possession of a good weapon, fate made them have to give it up.
With both running using the laws of the earth, in two seconds, they spotted each other. The whale simply ignited the tattoos on its fists and spoke. ’Use all the laws of the earth from the armor and the array to protect your meridians. If you have any pills to help, even better.’
Almin heard and nodded, feeling the urgency, then took out three Yang pills and swallowed them directly. Soon, all the power of the earth possible was commanded by him, and in the next second, the whale placed its palms on his back.
Outside the formation, among the clouds, in a place that seemed to be just emptiness. A tall, muscular human man watched attentively inside the formation. His entire presence radiated an aura of evil divinity. He observed the whale’s movements carefully and then turned his gaze to the north, confirming that it would take two or three minutes for reinforcements to arrive.
It was at this moment that an intense heat was felt on his skin. He turned in surprise downward, and his eyes widened. The formation that was completely dark... was completely red! And inside, he couldn’t see anything but fire and flames.
’What the hell...’
BOOM!!
He was in the middle of his thoughts when, to his shock, the entire formation exploded like glass. Then, an infernal fire rose to the sky and expanded in all directions, as if the gates of hell had been opened.
Back down, thirty seconds passed before the fire stopped advancing. While the whale fed Almin directly with its tattoos, Almin simply attacked with everything without caring about tomorrow.
Alm then spoke furiously. ’This bastard! Almin was just supposed to kill everyone and stop. Yet, he didn’t hold back and used everything until his meridians almost exploded.’
Bruno sighed and caused the whale’s body to shake, causing all the black skin to fall to the ground. The entire superficial layer of their skin was burned. Even with their physical cultivation, this fire managed to scorch them quite a bit, making them look like a roasted whale.
They turned and watched Langrum, Loeus, and Ruri, completely covered in earth runes, freeing themselves. Almin not only consumed an absurd amount of abyssal crystals but also forced Alm and Bruno to use an equal amount to protect the three.
Alm and Bruno then focused on the surroundings, a bit on alert. But in the next second, amidst the flames, a gigantic scarlet cloud emerged, covering the group. They were all infernal laws! One must not forget that when they kill people with Evil God Marks, the Infernal Laws of those who died would flow into those who killed them.
The whale, Langrum, and the unconscious Almin were found by the laws, and immediately, all of it focused on them; soon, they swallowed everything like three black holes.
Almin was unconscious, and his body trembled in spasms. Langrum’s eyes turned completely scarlet, and she clenched her fists tightly, trying to control the laws that were attempting to dominate her mind. The whale just felt all those runes fixate on the symbol of the evil god animatedly.
Seconds passed, four wings... six wings... seven wings... eight wings!
Alm and Bruno opened their eyes, feeling that power flowing into their bodies. It lasted another thirty seconds, and by that moment, Langrum was already lying on the ground with Almin. Only Loeus and Ruri stood firm.
It was in that second that they felt the halt and no longer noticed that hidden patriarch. Alm then murmured. ’Great, he wouldn’t be so crazy...’
Suddenly, they stopped their words when a strong gust hit them. All the fire was immediately extinguished. Then, they looked in fright in one direction. And they saw a figure with killer eyes touch the ground in front of them.
’He... he’s insane, and he wants to kill us at all costs!’ Bruno muttered tensely.
