Those who were prostrate on the ground suddenly noticed the imminent approach from the heavens. It wasn’t necessary for any of them to cast a glance to recognize the unmistakable nature of the bloodline power.
It was the leader of the Serpent Wings, as formidable as the Soul Eater’s; however, both significantly differed in their abilities. The half-wyvern embodied overwhelming physical power, while the half-demon embodied intelligence and technique.
All were experienced cultivators and could clearly feel that powerful killing intent approaching—a bloody battle was about to happen. With that other figure, instant excitement welled up in their chests, and everyone turned their eyes to the golden figure in the sky. No one wanted to miss a single move.
High above, Alm and Bruno were thinking frantically. The situation seemed grim, and they didn’t have many resources other than consuming all the abyss crystals. It was then that Bruno’s mind made a connection. Quickly, a mental message reached Calirer.
’Come to me, but maintain the adoring gaze. I will teach you a technique I devised; you have less than a minute to master it.’
Calirer was surprised but didn’t hesitate to respond. She agreed to collaborate in this strange play, aware that it could result in her own death. However, everything around the whale made her believe every word without questioning. Thus, she floated lightly upward, keeping her gaze fixed on the whale in a peculiar way...
The wyvern leader flapped his wings with all his might, but the mountain wasn’t as close as it seemed; it would take just under a minute for him to arrive. It was at this moment that everyone on the ground saw Calirer approaching with her eyes fixed on the golden being.
The round figure stretched its arms and touched its forehead, and immediately, the golden power began to spin and emanate multicolored phenomena, leaving everyone breathless. It was a divine blessing! Everyone thought.
Ruri smiled inwardly at her spectacle, while Calirer received directly into her mind a complex and frightening technique, yet at the same time extremely familiar. She stood there, trying to quickly comprehend everything.
’Get ready to give it your all, sparing nothing. We have to buy time for her, or we’ll all die.’ The whale’s mental message echoed in the ears of the entire group below. ’These counselors are yours. Runula, stick with Loeus and don’t try anything funny.’
Everyone below heard and took a deep breath. There were twelve wyvern counselors with powerful bodies, all at the early stage of the Heaven Stage Realm, equivalent to the high elders of the sect. Only Langrum and Almin would fight, an apparent and complete madness. However, they were already accustomed to it and activated their cultivations to the fullest, launching themselves into the attack.
From above, Bruno didn’t forget to raise his arm and wave. Thus, everyone on the ground witnessed the scene of two cultivators weaker than them, attacking under the command of the divine being. They were their followers! Everyone thought.
All those counselors were in their true forms but were severely injured when the whale attacked with its bone club. Earlier, when they tried to help the clan leader, they witnessed the whale attacking with its seemingly inferior cultivation, causing them only subtle discomfort. However, as they rushed to intercept the attack, an explosive power seemed to emanate from the whale, multiplying the level of the attack unbelievably and severely injuring them with just one wave.
Now, feeling the approach of their leader, they ran to maintain the minimum of honor. However, as they observed the abnormal golden power, they hesitated to risk another attack. Then, they witnessed the two frail and pathetic cultivators advancing to attack them. Was this a joke? Everyone thought.
As the two rushed and Almin sent a message with a daring plan to Langrum, she just nodded without thinking too much, and her giant black sword rose into the sky with a leap. Her body vibrated, and her frenetic aura enveloped the world; then, white scales covered her entire body, creating an exotic yet intriguing scene. Everyone felt the mixed bloodlines of that woman.
She quickly approached a wyvern, which stared at her with indifference. Her power could compete with higher levels within its realm, but it posed no apparent danger. It was then that a message from the most intelligent counselor snapped him out of his indifference.
’She’s a follower of that abnormal thing; don’t let your guard down!’
In that instant, something in the sword changed. All the wyverns felt a cutting power capable of splitting the world. Everyone was frightened, recalling the sudden power surge of the whale before. Instinctively, they thought of retreating but soon realized it wasn’t on the same level.
In this moment of distraction, Almin was enveloped in a subtle violet mist and approached along the ground in the direction the sword was pointed. Wyverns had power, but their intelligence was limited.
With a flap of wings, the smartest Wyvern gave another quick command. Everyone was injured and couldn’t lose face by fleeing, especially with the leader approaching.
’Unite and defend! We have to kill one of them.’ He exclaimed to everyone.
Everything happened in three seconds, and Langrum reached within two meters of the Wyvern. It was at this moment that the spiritual roots of the counselors were pushed to the limit, and everyone seemed to teleport in front of Langrum’s strike. With everyone together, defense and counterattack were simple, no matter what she did. In that second, the whale almost laughed, breaking its divine pose, but managed to regain control.
While Langrum attacked, Almin was already below in the same direction. When the encounter was about to happen, Almin made the first move, and his eyes changed to a violet color.
Ruri immediately felt her world spin with Almin using the Array. She was focused, fully utilizing the hero’s rune, and he absorbed all of her meager QI. Even so, she kept her composure, and the whale waved, satisfied.
The muffled sound of Langrum’s blow echoed throughout the clan, and everyone below watched transfixed. As expected, the joint defense of the twelve wyverns was more than enough to defend against Langurm. However, beyond the limited senses of these wyverns, a violet line permeated their eyes.
The wyverns smirked sinisterly and, at the same time, activated all the power in their bodies for the counterattack. Yet, they belatedly felt something was wrong. It was at that moment that everyone realized death was approaching.
From the ground, everyone witnessed something emerging beneath the wyverns and rising. It was an object about a meter long with a rounded shape. It didn’t seem like a weapon or anything their minds could fathom. Only one thing stood out: it emitted a mystical silver glow. Soon, various black and red runes appeared on its surface.
An abnormal spatial fluctuation emerged in the world, and from that object, space seemed to distort, sucking everything above it. In a second, everyone watching almost dropped their jaws. All... all the wyverns disappeared.
Poof!
Suddenly, from that object, a Yin of death emerged, covering the skies. Everyone trembled before that evil and deadly thing. Obviously, it was the evil Mythril furnace, a gift from a deceased alchemist.
’Great plan. He remembered the prison and how we used Ruri’s power to control the powerful beasts there. These wyverns have powerful bodies, but they lack intelligence equally. They were already very injured, which made it easier. Mental power, even with Almin using it through brute force, is still very efficient. Their minds were destabilized, and they were swallowed by the furnace without any defense.’ Alm commented, and Ruri saw everything equally proud of her power.
Langrum descended from the skies and waved, satisfied, at the same time intrigued. For some reason, upon hearing this plan from Almin, she didn’t doubt for a second. The creative way and the way of speaking were very, very similar to Goku’s. She just instinctively followed the plan.
Everything ended in a few seconds. Two cultivators of a lower level than most of those who watched killed a dozen wyvern counselors. It was all shockingly extreme for everyone; then, the skies turned black, and a powerful and gigantic presence finally arrived.
Its wings opened and seemed to cover the world in darkness. Almin and Langrum looked up and surpassed the image of the true Wyvern they saw in the prison. This one before them was physically very similar, but it still lacked that suffocating presence that could make them submit instantly. The bloodline of this Wyvern was just a little closer to the true one.
Runula trembled before the overwhelming presence; that black aura fell onto the ground as if a mountain were over their heads. It was then that the golden power, which previously only covered the figures in the sky, seemed to expand to its full strength.
The whale and the little girl seemed like a divine sun amidst the black world, and everyone focused their minds in their direction. It was in that second that Calirer opened her eyes.
Everyone saw the whale take out a black saber and hand it to the demoness by its side. She received it gently, and in the next moment, everyone felt a tremor in their souls. Calirer activated her entire bloodline explosively.
The Wyvern in the sky merely flapped its wings, and its mouth opened like the harbinger of the end times. Then, the saber in Calirer’s hands seemed to glow subtly. In that second, a message reached Calirer’s mind; her eyebrows furrowed, but she nodded.
The whale then made a strange gesture with its hand, and Calirer’s saber started to shine in golden light. Everyone on the ground sighed, amazed. It was a useless and senseless show, but it seemed effective.
It all lasted less than two seconds, and when the space began to tremble before the impending dragon’s breath from the Wyvern above, Calirer snorted and slashed upward with the saber. In the space, a simple black slash appeared, expanding to several meters and advancing.
Slash!
The world fell silent, and the minds of everyone below went blank. They merely witnessed the gigantic and powerful Wyvern being completely split in half as if it were just a piece of paper.
BOOM!
Two gigantic parts fell to the ground, making the earth shake. But... there was no blood? Everyone thought, incredulous. In that second, they noticed that the golden sun in the sky was no more.
A few seconds later, in the center of the arena, Ruri smiled excitedly, touching the four-meter eggshell, exuding an intense death Qi. The whale was nearby, and the spatial rune from its inventory was still glowing after delivering all that bloodline to the egg.
"Take it easy; I was going to give you everything. You didn’t need to be so hasty," Ruri murmured with a radiant smile. She then turned back, speaking, "Almin, where’s their blood? My pet is still hungry."
Almin, amazed at the size of the egg, woke up and ran, taking out the furnace and handing over the bloodlines of those dead wyvern counselors.
At that moment, Calirer, who received a pill from Almin, breathed heavily and looked at Runula by her side. Then, she became intrigued. Runula was petrified, staring at the giant egg. Along with that, the little Wyvern’s heart was beating so loudly that it could be heard clearly.
"What..." Calirer tried to speak but stopped midway, turning around.
Crack!
It was the egg, and it was cracking open.
