The demonic emperor saw the entire distorted space stabilize before his eyes. His mind refused to believe. He couldn’t see or feel almost anything on the other side of the spatial prison; he had no ability with these laws. But... he felt clearly the Yin of all demons dying at once.
He thought it might be some collective suicide. However, now, all dimensional fissures began to retract slowly. His shock only increased; soon, fear and shame haunted him.
"Damn it... the ancestor had to intervene twice before." He muttered, looking piercingly. "Now I used everyone to ensure the whale had no escape, but still, it surpassed everything. If the ancestor finds out I had to act directly, I’ll never be able to lift my head again."
He took a deep breath and focused on ending everything in a second. Then, he squeezed an emperor emblem in his fist. It was precisely the method of lightly controlling spatial laws; a small crack appeared in the middle of the prison.
Inside that enclosed space, Almin and Ruri had their hero runes activated, concentrated to the maximum. Training with all elements showed its result. Despite spatial laws being miles away from elemental laws... the power of a hero didn’t care one bit. Everything was suppressed without a hitch.
Then, the whale clearly saw a black lightning pierce through the dimensional fissure and enter that world. Turning to Calirer, already aware of this possibility, it sighed and nodded back.
The demonic emperor, upon entering, witnessed the shocking fact. The whale and everyone around it were perfectly fine and healthy.
This human possessed many immeasurable secrets. The emperor, firstly, didn’t want to act directly, to maintain some respect before the ancestor who should be observing. However, the second reason was that this abnormal whale had already made a fool of him once, and he had many hidden methods. It was better to be cautious.
’It doesn’t matter anymore. At least your secrets will be worth it...’ the emperor thought quickly when he paused, feeling his blood vibrate. ’This... is a deadly pressure?’
Unable to comprehend what he was feeling, something he had never experienced since the day he was born, the emperor’s instincts were alerted to something. As he pondered on it, his vision turned red, and he felt blood rising in his throat.
CRACK!
A pillar of earth suddenly erupted from the ground like an unstoppable black spear, hitting the emperor head-on. However, the earth was shattered, and at the same moment, the ground split open with a black figure emerging in a leap.
"Arrrrrrrr!!!" A guttural roar echoed for all below, leaving them astonished.
High above, they saw a trickle of blood running down the lips of the demonic emperor. Then... a female figure, with a single horn on her head, emerged in a frenzied state. Her fist was thrown in a furious attack.
BOOM!
The crash sound of a figure violently colliding with the earth echoed. The Cerberi felt their hearts stop at what their eyes witnessed. The emperor... was brutally attacked, without any chance of defense, thrown with a single blow.
"Aaaaaaarrrrrrrr!!!"
Calirer roared uncontrollably, surrendering her mind and body to her bloodline. This was the Inner Manifestation, an ability of her demonic bloodline, given by the extremely exotic blood from the whale.
CRACK! CRACK!
Calirer didn’t wait for the emperor to get up and descended like a meteor, delivering blows amid a chaotic and violent destruction. All three clans watched, astonished, the heavy strikes of that demoness, with expressions of shock. She seemed to attack relentlessly, without giving any space... or maybe only violence existed in her mind.
"It was the same with the women. Her cultivation is at the sixth level of the Elemental Condensation Realm, and the emperor is at the first of the Body Destruction Realm. But, with her blood fully awakened, she seems to fight through multiple levels effortlessly," Alm commented dryly.
BOOM!
Suddenly, everyone heard an explosion of black power, accompanied by the sound of various bones violently breaking. Then, Calirer’s figure, bloodied, was thrown away, hitting the ground.
She rolled, her black blood spreading, but as soon as the inertia ceased, she rose again, without feeling any pain or hesitation. In her eyes, only madness existed, and a visceral growl escaped her mouth. However, in the same second, a celestial blue mark appeared on her forehead.
Then, quickly, her eyes gained a bit of clarity... but only a bit.
’Hold him down,’ Bruno’s voice resonated in her mind. But in response, only a growl escaped Calirer’s lips.
’Well... still need to refine that. But she seems to sense our influence instinctively.’ Bruno commented, watching her advance forward, now a bit less uncontrolled.
Her body, covered in runes, began to glow in an earthy tone. Then, numerous earth spikes rose, closing all directions around the demon emperor, who had a furious expression on his face.
"You!" The demonic emperor had time to roar before pushing his cultivation to the limit.
All the power of the earth collided against him. However, nothing happened, and the earth exploded. In the Body Destruction Realm, reaching this realm involved intense self-destruction to be reborn, completely converting the mortal body into a semi-divine one. The emperor had gone through this process only once, out of the ten possible times. But even so, a divine spark in his physique was already an almost insurmountable barrier.
"Die, you bitch!" He roared, advancing violently.
BOOM!
The impact between them was powerful, and Calirer, obviously, came out at a disadvantage... but still, she retreated three meters and prepared for the next clash. The bit of intelligence given to her made all the difference; now, she didn’t attack with all her strength, managing to defend herself and fight more effectively.
"If she could maintain her sanity and use the techniques of her clan, this demon wouldn’t last ten exchanges with her. What a pathetic waste of power..." Alm said, his voice dripping with disdain.
Bruno also snorted but was focused on something else. His eyes were fixed on a corner, where Almin and Langrum were enveloped by a violet power from the array.
In a matter of seconds, the whale roared in Calirer’s mind.
’Attack with everything!’ The words echoed in her mind, and she immediately understood what to do. Without hesitation, she exploded with an infinite power of earth and Yin.
The demonic emperor watched with contempt. That demoness could block him momentarily but wouldn’t be able to truly harm him. It was only a matter of time until she exhausted herself and became an easy prey.
BOOM!
Calirer advanced, and the emperor used his body as a shield. With a muffled bang, she was thrown away, spitting blood from the force of the impact. The emperor then withdrew his Qi to conserve energy after the block, but... he felt something strange... A sensation that made his throat dry. That’s when he realized it was the presence of death.
Whoooooooosh!
The gates of hell opened around the emperor. A powerful fire rose to the skies, completely surrounding him. His eyes widened in surprise. That fire possessed an inconceivable level of purity... However, it couldn’t harm him.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Then, amidst the flames, he saw a whirlwind of runes mixing with them in a tempestuous dance. The feeling of dryness in his throat intensified, leaving him bewildered.
’These... are laws of winds and electricity?!’ He thought, and in the same instant, his world changed colors.
KABOOM!
An apocalyptic explosion of elements engulfed the emperor, causing the entire realm of ashes and its spatial laws to vibrate.
The whale was at the forefront with its tattoos activated, and Runula was unleashing her demonic diagram. They protected everyone behind, witnessing the world crumble before that elemental power.
After three seconds, when everything seemed to calm down, everyone saw Almin passing by the whale with two bloodied women in his arms. His hero rune was glowing on his forehead. As soon as he passed, the rune dimmed, and he collapsed to the ground.
’It was worth leaving the other two elemental runes with them for emergencies. With the hero rune and the mental power of the array, he can activate one, and Langrun the other; and then seal. With the slightest mistake, he dies, and the chance of it going wrong is higher than it going right, but everything worked out.’ Bruno commented, satisfied.
Then, in the midst of these thoughts, the sound of a katana being unsheathed echoed. Everyone behind felt their blood rise in their throats and were stunned as they looked at the girl next to the whale.
Ruri opened her eyes with infinite coldness shining in them, and then the blade of her katana was pointed forward.
The whale looked intently forward, sensing the emperor’s movement. Obviously, that wasn’t enough to kill him.
Then, all three clans behind them saw a figure emerging from the ground, the body covered in black blood. At that moment, the whale’s eyes took on an earthy brown hue. Then, as if in perfect synchrony, Ruri dashed forward.
The whale opened its arms dramatically, and everyone behind held their breath in the face of its imposing presence.
"Gravitational Domination!"
The words came from the whale’s mouth, and the earth seemed to vibrate at its call. The emperor in the background felt his body pressed with the full gravity of the planet.
"YOU BASTARD!" He roared in fury, and his entire semi-divine body seemed to ignite...
Slash.
The sound of a sharp, unadorned cut resonated like a bloody omen. Then, everyone watching the emperor roar fell catatonic to the ground in shock.
A red line appeared, dividing the emperor’s body, and in a second, the two parts separated.
The whale smiled faintly and jumped forward. In an instant, it reached the side of the trembling Ruri and supported her before she could fall.
"Felt a bit of the concepts of winds and space. Excellent strike," the whale said gently, placing Ruri on its back. She merely smiled faintly, too weak to speak.
Then, the whale’s body froze with a thud, startling Ruri.
She lifted her neck between the whale’s shoulders and saw where it was looking intently. There was nothing there...
But, in a second, as if a wind breeze had passed, a small figure emerged. He had horns, wings, tail... a legitimate demon. However, his skin seemed to pulsate with a strange and unnatural power...
He appeared above all three clans, who hadn’t noticed his arrival. Then, the figure’s eyes were fixed on the whale and remained so for two seconds.
Then, he nonchalantly huffed, muttering, "In honor of the agreement, I won’t kill you for killing my descendant. You share the same bloodline as my father, so we’re also relatives to some distant degree."
The whale heard that without any expression, and only then did everyone below realize that presence and jumped in shock, running.
But the figure merely made a move, and everyone froze.
"Wretched insects, perish," he uttered and activated part of his cultivation.
At that moment, everyone felt the blood in their bodies swell, and the omen of death was so intense that it could no longer be called a premonition. In a fraction of a second, their bodies trembled, and shortly after, they would explode...
But everything stopped.
The figure in the air froze, and his gaze met the whale’s. They stared at each other for several seconds in total silence...
Then, everyone below, petrified, saw drops of sweat forming slowly on the figure’s forehead.
"You... hahahahahahahha," the figure began to speak, then laughed macabrely. "Great, great. It’s been millennia since I felt mortal danger so close, and it came from a human with the same bloodline as my father."
He then made another move, and everyone on the ground was released.
"I’ll do this only because you reminded me of something nostalgic," he then reached his hand forward. On the ground, a bloody figure teleported to him to grab. It was Calirer.
"As for her... I don’t know how, but I sense my father’s blood in her. I will extract everything and return it to his tomb. Then, I can check in her soul how she managed this... it will be fun... I’ll do everything slowly, savoring the journey," he said with a sinister smile and turned away without giving a final glance.
Then, he disappeared into the void in the same way he came.
