The twelve leaders of the families stared at the whale coldly. Quickly, they connected the dots: this was the figure they had pursued until they found this city in the past.
"You came back to die with your allies? Or are you afraid of what we’ll find in the city? Hehehe," a human with a dark aura spoke, amused.
But his smile didn’t last a second. He was quickly interrupted by screams of despair and the smell of blood and death. The people of the city simply didn’t care about the guests; the whale was there, and all they needed to do was an attack.
All thousands of the high elders contorted their faces and lunged into attack with ferocity. At that moment, the twelve leaders felt a fluctuation, and soon their eyes were drawn to the woman beside the whale. She wore a radiant smile, but her gaze was bloodthirsty, contrasting with her pure appearance and demeanor.
The sea of elders advanced only a few dozen meters in the air when they were suddenly stopped. The space around them seemed to close, densifying. Then, they saw the horizon covered by bright stars... no, they were spatial runes!
"The fish have fallen into the net," Ruri said, waving lightly.
The twelve leaders watched infinite spatial runes emerging around them, feeling the infinite power of space contained within them, and they were stunned. That... could only come from the divine world!
Suddenly, the runes pulsed and connected, then pressure covered all twelve leaders. There were no activation fluctuations; it must have already been armed in that place beforehand... how was this possible? They all thought in synchrony.
There was no way to imagine that the whale and Ruri could enter and exit the formation whenever they wanted. In fact, only Ruri and Rehvka together could do that. That’s exactly what they did; on a beautiful night, the two silently prepared the formation and left without anyone noticing. They were efficient at acting stealthily, especially in malicious matters... perhaps it’s influenced by their master, both of them.
As soon as the formation emerged, the thousands of high elders were freed. They weren’t imprisoned together; they only received the power of Ruri’s internal rune. She consumed a lot of Qi to hold them, but the level of this rune was also divine; she could easily do it at a high cost.
BOOM!
The twelve leaders attacked furiously. Their senses were sharp; they acted immediately, sensing an imminent disaster. But... the spatial formation only trembled slightly.
"How is this possible! Attack with everything together!" roared a demonic beast to everyone.
BOOM!!
Nothing changed, but the runes seemed to lose some energy. Everyone felt it, but they were still completely stunned. Even so, they couldn’t leave there in a short time.
"ATTACK THE WOMAN!!!" The leaders’ order echoed; all the freed high elders attacked without hesitation.
The whale grinned sinisterly. In the same second, in the midst of them, an entirely unnoticed black shadow trembled; a man with serious eyes emerged. Immediately after, a blazing white wave exploded like a pure sun.
Whooosh!
Pure Yang flames surged from the void and fiercely attacked in the midst of everyone. The world became chaotic and all twelve leaders stopped their attacks, feeling their hearts pulsating uncontrollably. They saw in the midst of the flames a pair of eyes that looked like a snake’s. An exalted bestial lineage burned, unleashing the flames.
"That... lineage... of the glorious... Yangta!?" trembled a demonic beast.
The Yang flames were like an expanding sun, engulfing and turning the high elders into ashes. A third of them, closer to the epicenter, ceased to exist. Another third roared in full force to distance themselves but suffered severe injuries to the point of despair. Only a third managed to escape relatively unscathed, but their souls and minds were disturbed and trembling.
These flames were above ordinary fire; their Yang burned both the physical and the Yin of people. It was a frightening pain and lethality, but unfortunately, only a very specific lineage could create this.

Loeus exploded with all his fine lineage at once; his blood was almost nonexistent, but combined with his pure Yang body and the Yang tattoo, his power multiplied several times. How did he appear there in the middle? Rehvka was good at hiding and using Ruri’s mental power through the array; they managed to do it more efficiently and bring Loeus with them. Of course, the element of surprise and all the things that happened before and disturbed the elders contributed to them not being noticed.
The white sun extinguished, Loeus saw all the destruction around him and nodded satisfied. He turned to the whale and Ruri, both nodded in sync. He closed his eyes and fell... to be caught by the green woman again; Langrum was carrying two now. ’Am I back to being a carrier?’ She reflected quickly.
BOOM!!!
The twelve leaders attacked the formation possessed by an unparalleled madness and fury. The whale laughed and saw the high elders sweating cold... Slash! A black shadow passed, and a head flew.
All the elders jumped in fear. They didn’t see how it happened, just felt a shadow that cut and disappeared afterwards; there was no fluctuation of the attack. Meanwhile, the high elder simply... Slash! Another head flew without any warning, interrupting their thoughts.
"Sis is having fun! I’ll join in, fall!!" In the skies, a rainbow broke through and Corin fell with his lance pointing towards the high elders like a multicolored meteor.
Terror had already been installed in the minds of the high elders. They, who were supposed to be gods among these mortals of this planet, were being treated like insects and stepped on repeatedly. One of them exploded in fury.
"COME ON, YOU BASTARD!!!"
He was a demon beast who took the form of a gigantic Boar covered in earth runes. His defensive power was his greatest glory, and his weight and physical strength made him a god among those of the same level. He felt no suppression, this weak-looking humanoid being? He would explode with a punch.
Corin grinned maliciously. He took a deep breath, seven colors appeared in his eyes in a strange glow. The rainbow divine ring began to spin faster and faster, until it reached a speed that didn’t even seem like it was spinning.
The sky and earth trembled. It was as if the world had lost weight. The natural laws of the world seemed to blend and converge around him. The air became hot and cold, the skies roared with thunder, the earth vibrated, and fierce cutting winds roared. It was as if heaven and earth had reversed and the laws collided.
"CHROMARAIC ARMOR!"
Corin roared and his body seemed to become something divine and immaculate. He merely lightly punched, the encounter in the skies happened...
CRACK!
The boar-shaped beast exploded into a bloody mist. Alm and Bruno watched everything and nodded; this was a technique using his lineage that only he could use. His divine ring could suck in all the Qi and natural laws he wanted, he fused that with his physical body and united the laws. His physical power became as terrifying as the whale’s with physical cultivation. The difference was that Corin could only sustain it by burning his lineage, so it was only maintained for a short time. Physical cultivation, on the other hand, could be kept active for 24 hours without any problems, only when they fought seriously did it consume Qi, but it wasn’t a large amount.
"However, the body must be strong enough to withstand the energy of this elemental Armor, or there’s a great chance the body will explode with the enormous amount of energy flowing through it," Bruno concluded. "Teaching him physical cultivation in the future should be useful."
As the bloody mist spread through the air, two more heads flew. Rehvka harvested lives unnoticed, everyone merely feeling a deadly chill.
Corin plummeted like a meteor into the midst of all the high elders. Bulls, rhinos, tigers, elves wielding wood power; everything was thrown at him. But with a strike of his spear, the power exploded and he charged forward frantically with a smile on his face.
Corin and Rehvka were two completely disturbing and unstoppable presences; Alm and Bruno could only watch their two disciples proudly. Meanwhile, they felt Ruri’s hand grip intensify; at that moment, she was doing something even more unbelievable. She kept the twelve leaders trapped in the spatial formation, controlling divine spatial runes. And she was just an ascending cultivator.
All three disciples were terrifying; even Alm was a little moved. As for these poor high elders, all they saw was despair and desolation. On the ground, everything would come to an end in the next few minutes; the city’s army was sadistically fighting against the surviving cultivators. They had been freed from Corin’s chains, but there was no chance for them to even injure anyone.
"Quite sadistic, and to my liking," Alm said, looking at the ground satisfied. Even his followers seemed... strange, due to his influence.
It took thirty seconds for Corin’s power to start dwindling. He was powerful, but his physique and lineage couldn’t endure for long. If he had a better physique, he could consume less of his lineage and last longer.
When the few hundred high elders saw him stop in the air, exhausted, they smiled satisfactorily. "ATTACK TOGETHER!" They roared seeing Corin standing still and rigid, unable to move a muscle. They all innocently joined into a single unit and attacked furiously.
But as they were mere meters away from him, they noticed he didn’t even seem concerned... in fact, there was a malicious grin on his face. It was the last thought and image they had, then everything was covered by a black shroud that swallowed their lives.
Corin lifted his gaze and saw the beautiful, somber woman, pale like a corpse, floating amidst a black curtain resembling the wings of a death angel. Rehvka’s Dao was something not so connected to an assassin, it was an ability to kill in one strike that turned everything into death. She still had to refine it, but it was already terrifying enough, especially with everyone perfectly united like this.
The cost... all of Rehvka’s Qi was drained. The whale in the air nodded, satisfied, then turned to the distant Langrum, and she felt his gaze twisting her face. Corin and Rehvka closed their eyes and fell; the carrier leaped and caught them, huffing heavily.
