Alm and Bruno returned to the Yinblood sect. Before entering the forest, they got in touch with Mistie to inform her about the new rules and changes they’d set up. He explained that, thanks to the Behemoth’s power, he could use the primordial beast’s bloodline to strengthen the planet’s Golems.
The cost for this was very high in Qi and resources, so he was negotiating and working hard with the Larimar market to sell their weapons in order to get more resources. The Fey’s eyes sparkled with admiration for the human’s dedication to the sect.
Everyone knew about the countless golems underground, but they would all die before coming out into the world. Now these golems were going to become legitimate cultivators and train the disciples? Was this solution really possible?
Seeing her look, the whale spoke lightly. "Soon, everything will be set up so that the Golems can cultivate on their own; I’ll leave plenty of resources for them. In a few months, the secret world I haven’t explored yet will be opened. I’ll go in with my allies to get more resources for the sect."

Cultivators only knew that the Behemoth was a primordial beast connected to the laws of the earth. Although it was unbelievable, the claim that someone with a pure bloodline like the whale’s could help the Golems, who had bodies connected to the same laws, seemed to make some sense. But it was still very strange and lacked proof.
Alm and Bruno didn’t bother explaining further. Mistie also didn’t want to ask more questions. She had already pinned all the sect’s hopes on him and would just wait to see the results.
Then he requested a special tablet so Zaimo could go to the Larimar market and come back without any issues.
The whale returned to his base and saw everyone still training with the Chaotic Enlightenment. They took deep breaths; many new things had come up.
’We have a lot to do. But first and foremost, to fulfill our mission and destroy the false god, we need to become stronger. Gaining the Yinblood sect’s trust and obtaining resources is essential,’ Bruno reflected.
Alm agreed, then had an idea. ’We’ll have a perfect opportunity. The Shadow God sect is likely to invade that secret world, but it still belongs to the Yinblood sect. Even if we make a big scene, they won’t be able to use it to attack the Gloom planet. We need infinite resources, so let’s just fish it out of the big pond.’
Bruno sighed; this seemed like the best strategy to gain the Yinblood sect’s complete trust. They needed to show results and establish themselves as the pillars and leaders of the place. With that, they could explore the planet and get the other Dragon scales for Ruri. Then, they’d have the weapons to contact the Chaos Dragon without raising suspicions. Doing this now was very risky, but once they took over the sect, everything would flow smoothly.
’Releasing the Chaos Dragon isn’t an option anymore. We have to use this planet and the sect as a shield and strengthen ourselves secretly,’ Bruno thought. ’We’ll use the Yinblood sect as our central base. Once we conquer the dwarves and obtain the Prana Law, we can bring people from our universe and also seek soldiers from other places.’
With the Larimar market’s influence all over the universe, it would be easy to find other places where primordial beasts were sealed. That way, they could create new operational bases that would become shields; and as a bonus, contact those beasts.
The doors were open for them to arm themselves secretly. But the main thing was that they needed to get stronger quickly to protect these bases. It wouldn’t help to have a large army if they were weak.
The volume of resources needed to level up was colossal, forcing them to enter higher secret worlds and compete for resources with the Shadow God sect and other heroic disciples.
Alm huffed and said dryly: ’Let’s do what we do best. We’ll become everyone’s number one enemy and make everyone want to destroy us. The more powerful they are, the more resources they’ll have to give us. If we keep everything under control, the Gloom planet will be our shield, and they won’t be able to attack directly.’
Bruno nodded thoughtfully. The problem was keeping everything under control. They were good at being hated, but everything often slipped out of their hands easily.
***
Days passed, and the three young Feys were the first to finish their training. Thanks to the Dao of the Fey Goddess, they found a method to create a manifestation that enhanced their natural power and traits. The three completed the training almost simultaneously, excited. Alm and Bruno were pleased and handed each of them a fruit, turning them into Conquerors.
Time kept moving on. During this period, Alm and Bruno studied the Dao of the Devil God and were initially disappointed. It was a physical refinement method, with potential different from physical cultivation. It created a new internal rune in the cultivator, called the ’Battle Devil Rune.’
This rune had two main uses: first, when activated, it drastically improved physical power, though still modest compared to physical cultivation. Second, when fully activated, it made the cultivator enter a Berserker mode for a short time, multiplying their physical power, but with a limited duration.
The main aspect that made the Dao truly divine was its independence from Qi or resources to advance and improve. Injuries caused by individuals with the same Dao acted as catalysts. Essentially, to train in this Dao, people needed to fight each other, beating each other up and elevating one another.
It was a wild and demonic method, where training was done collaboratively and brutally. It was very similar to the way beasts or wild creatures elevated themselves internally with members of their race.
’It’s good that it doesn’t require resources, but you need someone powerful with this Dao to make others train quickly; we’d never have time to help others train with this,’ Bruno reflected.
Alm then had an idea. ’This Dao is useless to us. But for an army, it could be an extremely useful weapon. If everyone activates Berserker mode, they’ll become invincible Battle Devils. We just need to find a way to…’
Alm and Bruno suddenly had a peculiar idea. The Dao was very similar to the frenetic power of the Ogres. This race was the wildest and closest to some types of demons among humanoid races. Alm and Bruno had seen Langrum using her bloodline to fight many times. Now that they had received the complete Dao from the creator herself, they were sure it was much more than just similar.
’We can forge an internal rune from this and make it powerful from the start,’ Alm added, his eyes shining.
To others, this might seem impossible. But for them, having received the complete knowledge from the technique’s creator, possessing the power of tattoos, and especially the Chaos Law that could be shaped into any energy, it was feasible.
"Lansha, come here," the whale called softly. Lansha, despite already having a manifestation, was training with everyone and rapidly improving her Dao Heart.
She approached calmly and bowed. Alm and Bruno waved her over and sent the Dao knowledge directly to her. Lansha took a few minutes reading everything, and then her eyes sparkled towards them.
"Are you willing to be the official trainer for the melee soldiers?" the whale asked quickly.
She nodded excitedly. Since joining the group, Alm and Bruno had noticed that Lansha quickly bonded with the younger, more naive Feys. Lansha, like her mother, had a protective nature and always wanted to take care of the weaker and younger.
Bruno focused more on external matters, while Alm was always attentive to all his allies. He wanted to make sure he knew each of their minds, so he could trust them completely and understand how best to use them. Knowing his soldiers and drawing out the best from them was an essential quality for a leader; something they were learning gradually. This job would be perfect for her in every way.
"Come closer. It’ll be a bit painful, but I’ll give you something good," said the whale.
Lansha smiled eagerly and sat down in front of them, cross-legged and very close. The whale extended his hand and touched her head, closing his eyes.
Alm and Bruno focused on the array. In the initial group they brought from their universe, everyone received a Chaos internal rune. They activated the array and received the Law from them to use.
Lansha was part human, part ogre, and part Yangta. Alm and Bruno manipulated the ogre bloodline, which was suppressed within her. The Yangta power made up almost 99% of what she had in her blood. The human bloodline became one with anything.
They manipulated everything and combined it using the Chaos Laws to create an alternative Battle Devil Rune. Although it wasn’t formed exactly like the Devil God’s conception, it still had the same properties. When the rune was formed, Alm and Bruno burned all her bloodline to make it as powerful as possible.
It took several days of intense work before they finally finished and took one last look at the rune. However, during the inspection, they felt a sharp pang, like a blade pointing at them.
"What?" They opened their eyes, and the first thing they saw was a green woman with her eyes closed in front of them. She emitted an intense frenzied aura, and her green skin shone like jade. When they gathered all her bloodline and manipulated it, her hand had moved slightly down, and now it was at the center of her chest; they could clearly feel two soft mounds between their fist.
"Damn," they murmured, relieved that she was unconscious. They used Qi to gently move her away and then slowly turned to the penetrating gaze in the background.
"Did you complete the assimilation?" Ruri, who had heard the words, nodded with a contorted face.
Alm and Bruno were completely focused on their work and hadn’t noticed when she finished. Ruri knew it was an accident; after all, she had been there for a while and saw when their hand moved. But she chose to keep it a secret and made an effort to seem a bit annoyed.
In the end, Alm and Bruno had to accept her demand, rewarding her handsomely. She didn’t leave them alone for several days, but in the end, they were sure they had reached a new level in their technique.
Over time, all the members of the whale’s group completed their manifestation and became Conquerors. The Chaotic Enlightenment proved to be a divine weapon for those willing and eager to improve.
And so, the day of the opening of the third sealed red world of the sect finally arrived.
