Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ruri relentlessly attacked from all directions, her terrifying speed leaving no room for the demon to breathe. He was completely disoriented, struggling against high-level spatial laws mixed with Yin.
Caught on the defensive, the demon suddenly felt his heart pierced and a thin blade thrust through his chest, without a chance to react. A shadowy and imperceptible assassin appeared and struck him before he could even respond.
However, Bruno clearly noticed that the demon’s body was almost devoid of Qi and severely wounded. Still, he exploded in a terrifying power he shouldn’t possess. It was celestial law, and the power of faith that normally wouldn’t have offensive power. But within it was a touch of Yin, clearly coming from the sovereign demon. The power of faith was being used only as a conduit; the offensive power came from the god being worshipped.
The two women retreated several meters in the air, spitting blood. Alm and Bruno moved in and supported them as they watched, thinking quickly. Their physical bodies were exhausted, the rune of faith was sealed, the rune of the behemoth and bloodline were used to survive the explosion. They only had the Yin rune left, but against a demon with a much superior cultivation and specialized in Yin, that wouldn’t be enough.
Seeing the demon’s physical body miraculously recover from all injuries, Ruri focused entirely on her katana, and the air around her became razor-sharp. It wasn’t the runic seal; the spatial laws around her distorted and converged, as if the world was about to be split in half.
A mystical rune on her forehead lit up, and two colossal shadows emerged, rising to the skies.
The eight-winged demon saw the creatures emerge with astonishment. They were just two wyverns, but a strange draconic power awakened with them. Their auras merged, and then they opened their mouths; the laws vibrated in anticipation as the twin dragon’s breath fell upon him!
At the same time, Ruri executed a move with her katana. Alm and Bruno watched with admiration; it was a triple strike coming from all directions. It wasn’t inferior to her first attack with the runic seal; in fact, it was even more powerful. Ruri had developed her skills impressively.
"DIVINE SOVEREIGN! Grant me your divine protection! Protect your most loyal servant!"
The demon howled and drew his sword. The energy of faith gathered, forming a celestial blue battle armor around his body. This battle armor was entirely made of faith energy.
With a deafening roar, flames and the spatial cut with immeasurable power exploded upon touching him. The demon then screamed as his arms were destroyed and his sword flew away. However, surprisingly, the faith battle armor he wore was completely intact.
At that moment, Bruno concluded in shock: ’The cultivation difference makes it so he can’t be destroyed at once. If he reduces the damage using his life, the regeneration with such powerful faith makes him temporarily invincible... only another faith energy could nullify this.’
Of course, just because the energy armor was intact didn’t mean the user was unscathed; he was severely injured inside, spitting blood containing fragments of his entrails.
Clearly, this armor composed of faith energy wasn’t able to fully block Ruri’s power. He had to defend himself to avoid damages that would make him collapse, or under so many attacks he could be completely destroyed at once.
Silently, the completely hidden dagger struck the demon’s back. It unleashed a Yin power causing a devastating impact. It wasn’t as powerful as Ruri’s, but it hit directly at the weak and completely hidden point; it was equally frightening.
He then jerked and grunted. Faced with the explosive impact, his spine was broken, and his body curled up, his neck almost touching his ankle.
In the next moment, he let out a miserable cry. Perhaps it was because Rehvka hit him at some weak point, or maybe her death Yin was invading his body and contaminating him. Either way, he seemed to be in unbearable pain. After receiving consecutive serious injuries, the divine statue he summoned began to float, occasionally darkening. His aura now became more unstable!
"Keep hitting fast!"
Ruri shouted, noticing this subtle change. She exuded a battle aura forged in endless fights; now she was like a war goddess. She didn’t need the whale to say anything; instinctively she knew them; using the Eternal Bond was useless. Her power could be greater than anything she had, but it wasn’t enough.
Meanwhile, the statue had an abnormal defense; even Rehvka’s all-out attack didn’t scratch it. The Eternal Bond didn’t have an infinitely superior power to it; the cost was too high.
The two women and their two Wyverns repeatedly attacked together. The three didn’t give him room to breathe. The demon was bleeding, having no power to retaliate. As for the countless powerful demons on the planet, they were all dead. He was the only one left alive, and he only fought thanks to his faith energy. He had no helpers or anything to support him.

"Just wait... when the divine sovereign arrives... all of you will die miserably!" He roared, spitting black blood in all directions.
Under everyone’s frenzied attack, he could only let himself be defeated. There was no room to retaliate or flee. He was also consuming his life and soul just to endure. Even so, he wouldn’t be able to last long. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything more. If he let them go, he would still meet a miserable death. That’s why he had to stop them.
Faith energy was an ephemeral type that possessed many attributes, including the life, soul, and mind of all followers. Bruno reflected on all of this and felt subtly inspired by seeing this use.
For the first time, Alm and Bruno felt useless in this battle. Their Yin and Yang tattoos couldn’t dominate or do anything with the three life powers that composed the faith energy.
The only offensive thing they had left, to come out alive, was the power of the soul. But the soul techniques they possessed were from the Soul Eater clan. All of them used Yin and Infernal Laws in mixture; which the demon clearly had resistance to.
They could even manage to injure him more and more, but they calculated that it wouldn’t be enough. Unlike the ascending world, where everyone had a mortal cultivation, divine cultivators weren’t completely obliterated by their divine soul so easily. It was definitely a weapon capable of doing impossible things, but without technique, a divine cultivator could resist a bit with their soul possessing slight divine fragments.
The four continued to attack frenetically. A stronger attack wasn’t very useful. After a certain limit, the damage was limited, and any additional energy was wasted. So, they maintained a fast attack pace.
The demon was already at his limit at this moment. His body was dry as if it were just bones and skin. His life force was almost completely depleted, a sign that his soul was about to extinguish as well.
However, he was tenacious. He attached a part of his soul to the divine statue. Slowly extracting that little bit of soul strength from the power of faith, he could barely hold on.
At this moment, Ruri felt a calling and appeared beside the whale. Using spatial laws, the two moved swiftly. The whale attacked again with the Law of Duality of Shadows; its target was the statue.
This law was with one-third of its energies after being used in the mirror. This was another reason Alm didn’t try to use karmic flames; if he did, there would be no way to extinguish the flames in his soul, and he would die completely. As for common flames, without the power of faith, they would also kill them.
They hoped that, at the very least, their law would be able to damage this faith network. But... only tremors were caused... Faith was really a mysterious thing about which they knew very little...
BANG!
An opening appeared, and an oppressive feeling of death covered the world. The whale and Ruri turned to the eight-winged demon. Then, they saw Rehvka emerge on its back, piercing it.
She was completely covered by a black cloak several meters long, as if it were part of her. On her back, the cloak danced like the wings of a death angel. Space and time seemed to rewind and shatter, life and death reversed. Alm and Bruno even felt the celestial laws in the heavens vibrating.
’She... solidified her own Dao. Even the celestial laws felt this creation and began to judge her as a deity,’ Alm spoke, surprised in his mind.
BOOM!
Rehvka, amidst the desperate situation, had many insights and refined her technique. The demon, along with his armor of faith, exploded before it. Ruri and Runula applauded. With his death, the statue and the connection to faith would disappear.
This was the first time they truly fought against the enemy’s power of faith, and they didn’t expect it to be so powerful. A common worshipper, just one realm above them, managed to exhaust them just to kill him. Someone at Ruri’s level receiving this, how powerful would it be?
But unfortunately, even after the demon died, the divine statue began to glow. Soon, cracks covered it.
’Haha, success!’ Alm thought excitedly that it was about to break. However, the scene he expected never occurred. The surface of the statue began to fall piece by piece, revealing a figure beneath it.
"ATTACK!" Bruno roared with the whale. Ruri instantly shot through the air, slashing at the statue.
BOOM!
Ruri’s katana landed right on the head of the statue. After that, fragments of the statue flew in all directions.
Their expressions suddenly changed. Even as the fragments flew, they saw a hand grab the silver katana. Then, they saw a figure move the hand. Ruri immediately abandoned her beloved weapon, and it was instantly shattered. Everyone looked at it, retreating with tense faces.
"The sovereign demon!"
He still managed to arrive somehow. However, he didn’t manage to arrive in time to save the eight-winged demon. Obviously, it wasn’t his true form; inside the statue was a dense black ore, forming an avatar similar to a golem of him.
His will and part of his soul took over it. With the power of faith transferring some of his power to it, he could use it infinitely better than his worshipper. His power should be a hundredth of his original, and he still had a strange and crude body... maybe a thousandth? But... it was more than enough...
A divine glow illuminated behind the head of the sovereign demon, and the faith energy of the world prostrated towards him. He seemed to be the ruler of this world, an existence that no one could even think to challenge.
At this moment, the expression of this demon was dark, and his gaze was fixed on the whale. He felt all the destruction around and his killing intent surged.
"You little bastards, you dare to destroy the formations and kill my followers. Today, I will make you beg for death."
A roar sounded, and a giant figure slowly emerged in the air. Completely overpowering everyone there like an invincible and limitless being.
