"This fight was already announced internally, before the family competition. The family tried in every way to resolve the issue, but it’s something irreconcilable between the two. Now everything can only be resolved in a life or death battle. Young Yahci wagered his saint-level weapon, and the family put up another one just like it; whoever wins gets both," the responsible elder announced to everyone clearly.
All the young ones in the stands took a deep breath, while the elders simply chuckled internally; the family tried to resolve it? It was clear from the start that the family was targeting this young man.
The responsible elder handed a pill to the whale, who swallowed it without caring; it was part of the ’agreement’. Soon after, the family leader himself used his mental power and sealed two-thirds of Yahci’s IQ, mainly the part inside his body that could only exist in the Body Destruction Realm.
Everything was ready, and the elder looked at Yahci, who nodded, and then at the whale, who remained indifferent as always and just gave a slight nod.
The elder took a deep breath and spoke with a voice like thunder. "There will be five moves from young Yahci, and Mr. Denil can react as he pleases. Both have agreed, so the outcome cannot be contested afterward. Fight!"
As soon as the elder jumped away, Yahci became extremely serious. Disregarding his weapon, he and Girar were of similar level, and yet he died; if he underestimated this whale, he would be a complete idiot. The whale had now restored his IQ and could use that terrifying heavy sword again, but his father, who was watching everything in the stands, had already shown him the way.
Yahci had his IQ and cultivation drastically reduced, but after going through body reconstruction, everyone converted part of the mortal body into something semi-divine. He had a clear advantage over the whale. The main thing was that he could circulate his power at almost instantaneous speed for defense and attack with his body.
All he had to do was attack with 50% of his power, and the rest saved to flee if the whale withdrew the sword. He could only use it two or three times at most, and if he didn’t... he would die in one blow from his weapon.
Quickly, a heavy spear was wielded by Yahci. When this weapon appeared, the temperature of the entire arena cooled, and a thin freezing mist began to cover the entire center of the arena. Everyone watched with admiration... that was the power of a saint-level weapon.
It had the ability to influence the environment and the laws on its own, without consuming the user’s energies. Its core was like that of a cultivator, but its power was natural and connected with celestial laws, unleashing a force far above the norm. Many techniques can only be used with this type of weapon, so it was highly valued and coveted.
The whale merely observed that weapon calmly. But internally, Alm and Bruno were amazed.
’So this is the saint-level weapon... this is something that can exist in the queen’s universe, all the immortal weapons we saw in the past are only at the lowest level here,’ Bruno commented lightly.
The whale made a move and withdrew his spear again. Since this was Liumi’s body, this spear would naturally be called by her name. This time, he held Liumi with both hands properly, and a purple aura surrounded it.
In response, a golden rune on Yahci’s forehead pulsed, and he sealed the laws of the arena’s earth; he had no reason not to do the same as Girar did.
"Come on, you have five attempts to save yourself. If you do well, I might consider sparing you," the whale spoke slowly.
Yahci scoffed and smirked sarcastically. "Trying to find a way out? Today, everything will end; you can use your sword to buy some time, so I can have a little fun."
Yahci’s heavy spear moved through the air and spun, all the water laws in the environment stirring. With the assistance of an Empyrean’s power over the laws, dozens of two-meter ice spikes formed in the air in a second, all pointed at the whale.
The spear seemed covered by a thin layer of ice, and the ground under Yahci’s feet trembled; the laws accumulated in the weapon, and its weight increased significantly. This weapon was specialized in water laws and was made to be used by a cultivator with a powerful physique; but with the mastery of an Empyrean’s laws, Yahci solved that and hardly felt its weight.
In the next instant, the ice spikes trembled and rotated. Yahci snorted, and space twisted violently, being pierced violently. At the same moment, he attacked, it was a double blow where the whale had no way to escape; his only alternative would be to use the sword or die.
Everyone in the stands watched attentively. That move was extremely unfair; clearly, Yahci attacked without using all his power, but the ability of his weapon compensated for that, and the whale could only endure, never landing a counterattack.
The move coming from all directions fell upon the whale, and the entire view in the center of the arena was covered by ice and sounds of shock and shatter. It lasted a second, until everyone felt a change in the laws... until...
BOOM!
All the ice flew away, turning to dust, and a wave of destruction spread throughout the arena. Quickly, the more experienced ones saw a figure flying like an arrow and bouncing off the ground violently.
It was a red figure that looked like a kite with its strings cut. It was beating and pounding on the ground, spreading blood everywhere, and the sounds of its bones breaking sounded painfully. It took several seconds for it to stop... then remained motionless on the ground.
Everyone looked at the center of the place and were shocked. There was the whale, calmly standing in the same place he had been since he arrived at the arena. Around him, small fissures in space emerged and rotated gently, that was just his aura... without any use of IQ...

Everyone jumped in fright. A young Yangta asked in shock to a high elder next to him. "What happened!?"
"He... he just stood there... then grabbed the spear with one hand and just punched..." That high elder murmured, equally shocked.
All the most powerful in the arena clearly saw everything. The whale just waited for the right moment, then released a power from within him, it was as if an invincible beast had opened its eyes. With just one punch, all of Yahci’s attack power was pulverized, and he flew away with no possibility of dodging.
"That’s the same power as Brother Corin’s!" The high elf Azja, who was next to Corin in the stands, spoke quickly.
Corin just waved indifferently as everyone in the arena turned to him. "Of course, master who taught me that. It’s a technique to enhance the physique, and obviously he’s much better than me. That idiot thought decreasing power and attacking from all sides would solve it? He only sought death."
Everyone trembled. The whale not only could use mental power at a very high level, but also had a terrifying bloodline and abnormal physical ability. How the hell could a mortal be so strong?
Breaking everyone’s thought, the whale spoke slowly. "First move. Come on, come on, I don’t have all day."
Everyone followed the whale’s gaze and saw rocks completely stained with blood moving. Then, a disfigured and wounded figure rose trembling. Yahci survived! If it were any cultivator below Body Destruction, they would be dead, but his reconstructed body saved him, giving him semi-divine resilience.
"You...!" He roared in response, and his body crackled as if thunder had struck from the heavens.
Everyone felt his cultivation return completely. "He removed the leader’s seal? That’s impossible!" A human woman allied with Ruri spoke angrily, already knowing the answer.
Everyone in the stands also knew the answer. The leader simply placed a seal simple enough for this young man to remove whenever he wanted. His intentions to cheat, if necessary, were clear.
The young members of the other families were furious and wanted to intervene, but the elders stopped them. No matter if they were bending the rules, the strongest was the law. Later, the leader of the Moonlight would simply give an excuse and reward anyone.
The young ones couldn’t do anything, and during the fight, the elders couldn’t either, or the Moonlight family would retaliate, and it would escalate into a much bigger problem. Unfortunately, this Denil was just a youth; maybe it would be worth helping him, but at this level of problem, only the leaders of the families could act. Only when the battle’s outcome happened could the others demand anything.
Already inside the private booth, Kaiyka almost jumped into the arena but was stopped at the last moment by Ruri. She tried to say something, but Ruri remained silent, completely indifferent.
It all lasted a few seconds, and Yahci retrieved his spear and exploded into an attack with all his available cultivation towards the whale. He wasn’t insane and prepared for a dodge in case the whale withdrew the sword. But the round figure just stood there and looked at him as if seeing an insect.
"DIE!"
Yahci roared, and an extreme violet mental power merged with the water laws, forming a devastating attack. In that same second, a peculiar sound echoed through the arena.
Thump-thump! THUMP-THUMP!
Liumi in the whale’s hands pulsated in a purple color at the same time as that sound. Suddenly, the entire arena trembled.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Everyone held their breath, and their hearts pounded like drums, whether the eldest or the youngest. Everyone felt an ancestral bloodline emerge in the world. And suddenly, in the face of this overwhelming bloodline, all of Yahci’s power was eclipsed.
In the center of the arena, everything beyond the point where the whale stood turned into a sea of wooden spears pointing to the sky.
The power of an Empyrean remained active all the time, and the laws should have been sealed. However, what could the power of a youth do against the earth rune and the Behemoth’s bloodline itself? No one in the audience doubted: this bloodline in the whale was anything but simple. Its power and capability were challenging and extreme.
Everyone searched for Yahci in the midst of the turmoil and then saw a figure standing among the spikes. His body was completely still and pierced, but no vital points were hit. The whale sealed him perfectly without killing him.
"Well, well, did you really think it was enough for me to use my sword? Look, I haven’t even moved yet... in fact, I haven’t even warmed up properly. You think raw power is everything and never studied any smarter techniques or methods? Well... it doesn’t matter, think better in the next life."
The whale waved, and the spears on the ground trembled, starting to emerge more and more, and rising towards him. Everyone swallowed nervously as they saw the spears advance slowly... it would be a slow and painful death.
Suddenly, with a desperate roar, Yahci shouted, "My father is the vice-leader! You can’t kill me!"
"Hm?" The whale nodded, and the spears increased speed, piercing faster.
"I give up! Spare me! You can have the weapon, I... I give up everything!" The young man shouted, spitting blood and feeling his body about to be torn apart.
The whale sighed and stopped everything. "So be it; everyone heard it. I want everything in exchange for your life."
In the next instant, all the wooden spears exploded and dispersed. The whale just waved, yawning. It was at that moment that the sound of the air being cut echoed, and Alm smirked maliciously in his mind. While everyone turned to see the source of the sound, they didn’t notice that Liumi in the whale’s hands had disappeared.
Everyone in the stands witnessed Yahci’s heavy spear attacking the whale from behind. The spear was enveloped in mental power, and its accumulated power attacked sneakily. This couldn’t have been a last-minute attack; Yahci planned this, considering that the whale wouldn’t kill him out of fear of his father.
But...
The whale simply turned around, and his fist gleamed. In an instant, his arm was surrounded by a completely black rock.
CLANG!
That was Obsidian, a rock of unparalleled hardness and defensive power created with the power of the behemoth. Even a divine cultivator would have difficulty breaking it quickly; a spear with just mental power? The whale just blocked and then grabbed the spear.
"Hold it for a moment, the spirit of the weapon needs to say goodbye," said the whale softly, and made a motion, shooting the spear through the air like a deadly arrow towards Yahci.
The young man saw death approaching without being able to move a muscle. Everyone in the arena witnessed the event without being able to reason properly about everything that happened. The air was filled with a premonitory aura of death.
But...
An inch away from hitting its target, the spear stopped. In fact, it was halted by something invisible.
In the skies, a transcendent divine power emerged, and its divine will immediately halted the attack.
"FATHER!" Yahci roared excitedly.
The male figure with sharp eyebrows looked coldly down. "Young man, he is my son. Who do you think you..."
"Fuck you."
CRACK!
The whale didn’t bother to listen; Liumi suddenly appeared from the ground, completely unnoticed by everyone; even by the senses of that divine cultivator. Then, Yahci’s body was completely impaled and...
Boom!
Exploded into a bloody mist before the eyes of the entire arena, and his own father, who watched from above.
