The Elemental Condensation World finally opened completely. Immediately, everyone who had registered felt the rune on the plate with their registration vibrate, and then they were enveloped in a gray light and disappeared from the square.
As soon as everyone had finished entering, a new group of people entered the square. Even the weakest member of this group was very close to the peak of divine cultivation, and there were over a hundred of them. They represented the pillars and leaders of the various major races of demon beasts.
Standing in the square, they could clearly observe particles of light showing the interior of that world. It was a bird’s-eye view that could encompass all the kilometers of expanse in a greatly reduced perspective; but, with their cultivation, they could focus and easily visualize a region with details. And the entire city and representatives of the smaller clans also watched attentively their members.
Among these countless cultivators was an imposing woman with red hair. Her face was alarmingly serious. She was the leader of the Black Phoenix race. Now, she was aware that her clan had been targeted in a plot. In her clan’s records were grand accounts of the first opening, which occurred two million years ago. However, there was no information about the maintenance and this current event.
As for the experts of the Infernal Mammoth race, Abyssal Bakunawa, and others nearby, they smirked sinisterly.
Veria finally understood that her race had long been targeted. Everything had been deliberately concealed; from the marriage proposal she had received and would consider responding to soon, to the current event. There was definitely a scheme at play, and its goal would likely ruin the genius that was her daughter.
"What a pity. That demon whale is going to die young. He will never be the son-in-law of the Black Phoenix race. It’s truly regrettable." A voice tinged with scorn echoed in the midst of the crowd.
This voice came from an elder in human form, tall and wrinkled, holding a snake-headed cane. His eyes were blue-green. He was the leader of the Dark Scale Falcons.
Everyone turned their gazes towards the interior of the world. With their privileged sight, they could clearly see the whale’s group being surrounded. There were a few hundred demon beasts gathering, closing off all escape routes.
"You fool, are you targeting him without knowing how strong he is? Can someone chosen by my clan be just an ordinary man?" mocked Veria, hiding her apprehension. She had tested the whale’s physical body, cultivation, and soul, so she knew how powerful he was.
"Hahaha, even if he has maximum talent, so what? Can a human hybrid compete with the demon beast race? Oh, I forgot, your race’s physical bodies have always been below average among demon beasts. My apologies!" mocked the leader of the Infernal Mammoth race.
Veria’s apprehension stemmed from the fact that the whale was at the seventh level of the Heaven Stage. He wasn’t alone; less than 1% of the cultivators there were not yet at the maximum level of the realm. Alm and Bruno didn’t even notice this; they wouldn’t waste time checking everyone’s cultivation.
The place would remain open for a month, and within it, the Qi was multiple times denser than on any planet in the underworld. There were even strange crystals growing there, which could be used to advance in cultivation levels. However, with everyone targeting him like this, how could he find time to cultivate?
However, she quickly realized she wasn’t seeing things clearly. Within the world, the hundreds of demon beasts multiplied several times over. Soon, she saw thousands of them surrounding the whale and the members of her clan.
Inside the world, at this moment, the whale lazily stopped. Soon, Yanson and Lirelia beside him belatedly felt the heavy air around them. Then, they slowly observed the encirclement closing in, causing Lirelia’s eyes to narrow.
"They’re all from weaker clans... These damn bastards!" She spoke with fury, clenching her fists.
Outside, Veria’s heart nearly stopped as she became completely stunned. The situation was already bad; now, her members would be prevented from going to the world’s center. The main benefits would be completely cut off from them.
Lirelia’s body glowed, and her true form emerged in the world. However, like everyone else in that place, she couldn’t fly at all. Being a flying-type beast, she lost some of her potential. Although it wasn’t as much compared to other beasts, she could still use her flames, which were her main power. But, at the very least, she lost a large part of her mobility and agility.

"The center only accommodates twenty people. It would take us fifteen days to walk there, but they want to block us anyway," roared the Black Phoenix, her feathers shining in black flames.
Alm and Bruno watched everything with indifference, then turned to the dozen members of Lirelia’s clan. For a moment, they seemed to have empty eyes, but soon all looked at Lirelia and nodded, assuming their true forms. Quickly, all these demon beasts radiated a fierce will to fight, while the others around them backed away a bit, frightened.
Bruno was pleased and spoke mentally. ’They’re not cowards, great. This strange connection we’ve created with this clan doesn’t seem to have been so useless. We can help a bit.’
’Not yet,’ cut in Alm before Bruno could act. ’Look to the north. The cerberi Shuki and Muphs noticed this movement and stopped to investigate.’
’What? Are they idiots? With their power, they can barely get among the twenty. If they don’t run, their whole race will be doomed,’ commented Bruno, incredulous, sensing the two distant.
At that moment, ice arrows covered in Yin attacked together with black fire. Yanson couldn’t blend in completely with the area anymore. Following his movements, Lirelia positioned herself to protect him.
The two began attacking together; everyone outside, initially unbelieving, petrified. No matter where the arrow passed, everything around it seemed to be covered in ice, affecting dozens of demon beasts. Then, the black fire swept everything, creating a wave of death and ashes.
In a matter of seconds, everyone was shocked; the two were precise and savage. They fought side by side, moving quickly while Yanson seemed to command and Lirelia just followed the flow, using all her power. Her confidence in him was complete, even knowing that a single wrong move could cost him his life.
The whale just stood there, watching their movements. They attacked and retreated, leaving a trail of burning destruction. However, it was an endless tide of demon beasts. Among them, some were resistant to black fire, while others focused on defense. They quickly organized themselves, and despite the fierceness of the duo, they wouldn’t be able to escape the siege, even if they had a full month.
It was at that moment that black chains covered the skies. A massive gathering of beasts was imprisoned and sealed. "NOW!"
Lirelia heard the words coming from the north and attacked the trapped group, eliminating hundreds at once. But... her eyes just flickered...
"Shuki, you can’t!" she murmured.
Two three-headed, five-meter cerberi broke through the siege. The demon beasts didn’t mind spending energy to stop their passage. "Let’s go together! Neither I nor my companion would live knowing we abandoned a friend," echoed the voice of the central head of the female cerberus.
Alm and Bruno nodded. Resources and opportunities can be conquered in the future, as long as fate desires it. But reliable allies are rare and unique. The two beasts met in the first test, but a connection between them was quick. That was a clear proof of the value of the cerberi, at least of that couple.
’Hm... we can explore an opportunity with this couple later. As long as fate desires it,’ Bruno thought lightly.
In this chaotic moment, the two couples fought fiercely. The cerberi joined forces with a dozen Black Phoenixes present, chaining and unleashing black fire. Together, they tried to make a way, but it was like facing a closing anthill that refused to let them pass.
The whale remained unmoving. Outside, all members of the Black Phoenix clan had red eyes as they watched the scene. It didn’t take long for some of them to start cursing the whale for its inactivity.
The battle went on for just ten minutes, then finally a group of beasts attacked the round figure from behind. The whale just sighed and stomped on the ground with a single foot, making the earth tremble.
Cracks spread across the ground instantly, reaching beyond the horizon. Those running towards it stopped, stunned. Soon, everyone involved in the fight saw the cracks spreading like spiderwebs across the ground, while a boundless power of the earth illuminated the fissures, followed by a violent tremor.
The expressions of numerous experts outside changed instantly. The earth of that world was sustained by the stellar formation and was as hard as divine steel. No one had seen the whale gathering energy. He simply stomped his foot, releasing a power so terrifying that it shook everyone.
RUMBLE!!!!
All thoughts stopped as they felt a wave of destruction spreading across the landscape. The battlefield seemed to have been turned upside down. With the tremor, earth spears emerged, making it impossible for them to dodge easily. Hundreds were being quickly killed, while the cerberi and the black phoenixes ran towards the whale. Spectators were left catatonic as they saw the whale floating a few meters in the air.
"Impossible..." the leader of the Infernal Mammoth race let out.
The whale’s two fists were illuminated by two mystical and strange tattoos, which seemed to resonate with the whole world around them. Then, a spear appeared in his hand. Veria immediately recognized the spear she had bought.
The whale twirled the spear in the air. Everyone saw the runic seal of that weapon light up, as if all its power had been awakened to the world. With a swift movement, the whale threw the spear.
Sssshhh!
The spear cut through the air violently. When it was in the midst of the sea of cultivators, the runic seal pulsed.
Crack!
The spear exploded, and everyone watching saw an invisible power surge forth, a wave of death spreading in all directions among the cultivators to the north. It was as if space itself was rupturing. Within seconds, countless demon beasts to the north were completely obliterated.
There was no energy or law that could be felt or seen; it was literally an invisible wave of death. The maximum power of that runic seal was unleashed, at the cost of its own destruction. Everyone realized this without being able to comprehend it, except Veria, who clenched her fists tightly. Only the Forge God’s disciple could perform such a feat.
That was a clear opening for them to escape. But the ominous aura around the whale made it clear it thirsted for more. Floating in the air, he surged to the left, wielding a new black saber from his inventory. Everyone could see another runic seal light up as the whale’s words resonated for those of his group there.
"Take care of the south. Let’s wrap this up quickly."
The entire plaza was silent. The whale plunged into the sea of disciples to the left of the circle, with the tattoos glowing, the earth splitting, and the saber slicing. It looked like he was cutting grass with a lazy blade.
In the south, everyone joined forces and began to topple everything in their path effortlessly. Meanwhile, within five minutes, the aura of death flowed in all directions. The poor demon beasts watched this unfold in complete panic, but their clans’ lives were at stake.
The whale annihilated everything in its path and leaped to the right. At that moment, those cultivators had expressions of terror and turned their backs to flee. Fear overwhelmed reason.
But...
The whale soared through the air, thanks to the tattoos that allowed it to connect with the Yin and Yang of the area. Escape? Only a malicious and bloodthirsty grin remained on its face while Alm laughed uncontrollably, making all those who tried to flee beg in despair.
The whale, finally, swiftly headed south and concluded the battle without delay. That group was too slow, and the whale seemed insatiable. The fight started and lasted for ten minutes; then, in the next ten minutes, it was a one-sided massacre. Quickly, the thousands of bestial cultivators ceased to exist.
Meanwhile, in the plaza...
The eight Golden Asuras watched the fight with serious expressions, awaiting something. Then, in the skies, a figure emerged from the void. It was another Golden Asura, but this was the supreme commander of everything. Only his voice echoed throughout the plaza.
"Bloodline of a sacred earth beast. Complete control and able to wield the maximum power of weapons forged by the Forge God. And to top it off, a Yin and Yang technique... your level is above even the laws of the underworld; there is no doubt the technique came from another universe."
Everyone in the plaza heard those words and looked up, spotting the Ancestral Golden Asura. They recognized him as the highest authority there. Only then did they piece together the words. He continued with a thunderous voice.
"We have found another enemy of all! He is definitely a Heaven-Defier!" Everyone’s hearts stopped at those words. "Seal the city, we cannot allow him to escape. We cannot invade the world, but as soon as he leaves, another evil being will be in our hands!"
"Yes!"
The eight Golden Asuras roared in response. Then, chains appeared in the air, intertwining into a giant formation that completely sealed off the space and the central city. This grand formation imposed immense pressure on everyone present.
