All the demons and any entity with demonic blood fell to their trembling knees. That clearly represented the suppression of a supreme emperor, transcending all demons. His dynasty and power extended through countless generations, something completely unattainable even for the most powerful clan in the abyss.
"Emperor... how..." Calirer murmured tremulously, feeling then a concerned gaze on her.
It was Runula, perfectly fine, looking at her. She had demonic blood, but... was her dragon blood that strong? Calirer thought incredulously.
Far away, the whale observed that colossal shadow with furrowed brows. The shadow stared at the whale in silence for a few seconds.
’We’re fucked, we messed with the fucking boss... he won’t follow any rules...’ Bruno said with a bitter sigh.
’That wasn’t a soul mark.’ Alm spat dryly. ’Damn, he’s at the Body Destruction Realm cultivation; he used his now semi-divine body and sealed his blood with part of his soul.’
Bruno became serious, saying, ’We couldn’t use our soul to find this inside, or the soul mark would react. It was impossible to predict... but now we have nowhere to run...’
"A HUMAN?! INTERESTING." A guttural voice resonated like thunder throughout the realm of storms.
Alm then roared, "FUCK YOU, YOU BASTARD!"
Immediately, the whale’s eyes lit up, and Bruno sighed inwardly, understanding what Alm had in mind.
The two divine souls ignited, and the purest essence of Yin and Yang emerged like an invincible divine wave. A soul power surrounded the whole place, sealing the demonic shadow. It was a dominant force, impossible for a mortal to even think about resisting.
"WHAT!!"
The shadow of the demon emperor spoke in disbelief, its red eyes trembling as it felt a mortal and undefeatable subjugation. In an instant, the true body of the demon emperor opened its eyes, and at the same moment, he spat out black blood.
"DARE YOU NOT!!" The shadow of the emperor spoke in fear.
Everyone in the realm of storms felt their bodies being released, then looked up, sensing the fear coming from their emperor. Immediately, they became even more frightened as a result.
"CLEAR YOUR ASS AND WAIT FOR ME, YOU BASTARD! I’LL REFINEL YOU INTO A PUPPET, AND YOU’LL HAVE AN OLDER BROTHER!"
Alm roared thunderously, and everyone could hear it, feeling their souls leaving their bodies.
Suddenly, a black saber materialized in his hands, covered by boundless soul power, and immediately, the saber cracked. The whale, without a second glance, threw the saber like a spear, shooting it like a magical black missile. It was the Manifestation of Will!
BOOM!!!!!!!!
Everyone witnessed the dark manifestation of the demon emperor instantly explode, creating a black hole in the horizon. All the remaining laws of lightning were erased, and the runes were sucked in by an infinite attractive force, creating vibrant luminous phenomena.
Langrum, Almin, and Loeus looked at that and sighed. Goku had no limits to his insanity. How the hell did he manage to fight an emperor? And then... both of them just thought about how they would have to train even more desperately to still be useful.
Runula supported Calirer, and both looked up. Runula’s eyes trembled with excitement, but Calirer seemed to have empty eyes; that was the emperor...
After a few minutes, everything became silent and cold. The electrical runes that were suppressed underground lit up again, and thunder roared again over everyone.
Ruri still slept peacefully on the whale’s back, while Alm and Bruno could only feel the lingering energy in the air. If someone could see the two souls now, they would notice both fragmented and damaged by half. They didn’t spare any power and didn’t have much control over this technique to save, and that was the consequence.
’Indeed, he used his blood and put a part of his soul inside the spear.’ Bruno spoke with conviction.
’With a mortal cultivation fragmenting his soul? Either he’s very arrogant, or he’s an idiot.’ Alm said coldly. ’Now that we’ve completely destroyed it, he has suffered irreparable damage to his mortal soul.’
Bruno snorted but accepted that this might be the only way out. ’It should take him years to stabilize. If he doesn’t go into total isolation, he might die needlessly. Well, maybe not everything was lost... we should run while we still have time.’
’Don’t be a coward! It’s impossible for him to come out to get us personally now; a demon emperor must be extremely proud and arrogant. He won’t admit or give any indication that he was injured, much less by a weaker human. There’s no risk of him giving orders to others.’ Alm roared dryly.
Bruno thought seriously; Alm had a convincing point, but if something unexpected happened, they would be doomed. The risks were immense, but if they played it safe and ran, they would lose everything this abyss had to offer. It will be an unimaginable setback for their cultivation and for everyone.
’Let’s move on. But we have to think of plans in case something goes wrong.’ Bruno said, a bit apprehensive.
Alm just snorted, calling him a coward again, and then both focused on the core where the weapon spirit settled.
Because he was very young and had recently been born, his soul was not fully assimilated into the spear. That was the main reason they went through with this plan. Otherwise, once the spear was destroyed, the spirit would suffer severe damage, and the chance of it taking on a new body would be almost nil.

’He seems perfectly fine. Great, eat as much as you can.’
Alm commented to the spirit floating in the spatial inventory, watching it with curiosity. A tide of Qi surged from within the abyss crystal mountains. The spirit looked at that pure and dense Qi, and its primal instincts ignited. Soon, it began to swallow everything as if it had been hungry for countless years.
It consumed all the Qi quickly in a matter of seconds, leaving Alm and Bruno with serious looks. Then, the spirit entered a deep sleep. However, that core, which was only 5% intact, began to regenerate slowly before their eyes.
Bruno then spoke. ’He ate half of all our crystals in seconds... Well, this should restore at least another 5% of the core... hopefully. The abyss crystals were our biggest weapon, but now we have to work to get more to feed him. And we can’t waste them needlessly.’
The whale then turned, looking at the ground around the place where the bone spear was. With a movement, the earth opened. And below, they saw the deep black glow and sighed in relief. There should be no fewer abyss crystals there than they collected before in the realm of flames.
