The whale’s group moved slowly, crossing the now empty and safe sealed world, like an open and rugged field. Along the way, they explained the situation and the Shadow God Sect’s scheme to everyone.
Everyone clenched their fists in anger, especially the three Fey. The sect had been used all this time, and countless disciples had been refined by this evil scheme.
"Sir, we need to take revenge," Ambry said seriously.
"Yes, before, it would have been impossible, but now things have changed," the whale replied, turning to Ruri, who held the golden tablet.
She nodded. "I can use this to move everyone between the connected sealed worlds. We can go wherever the master wants."
The whale was pleased; the Formation God’s Dao was very useful within the sealed worlds. Now that they had discovered that the treasure in this place was a manipulation, the real treasure should be in the central zone, waiting for them.
They desperately needed resources, not just for themselves but also for the Yinblood Sect.
Alm spoke to the whale lightly. "Now that we’re declared enemies of the Shadow God Sect, let’s investigate the Blood Seeker Trees and, if possible, fuck everythi… Ahem! I mean, save this race."
Everyone laughed internally and didn’t let it show. The whale often pretended not to be helping but always found a way to actually save those in need.
The group took only a few minutes to reach the barrier separating the sealed worlds. Ruri approached and manipulated the golden tablet. A few seconds later, the runes in the area began to twist; everything was ready.
The whale spoke calmly: "We have six days. Use two days to loot the outer worlds. They’re controlled by the Shadow God Sect, and the terrifying spatial laws don’t exist there. There must be something valuable in those worlds. You will split up and enter those two worlds."
Everyone listened attentively. Ruri confirmed and spoke excitedly: "I can use the tablet and its laws to communicate with everyone through the array, master. I can even sense Almin and talk to him if you want."
"It’s not time yet," the whale replied calmly. "Ruri and I will go to one of the sealed worlds to gather information. You don’t need to hold back; they are all enemies. Give them only the chance to hand everything over and run. They choose whether they want to live or help complete the demon metal. Then, steal… I mean, find everything of value in the two places. In two days, Ruri will contact you and we’ll invade the other regions."
Everyone nodded, knowing they couldn’t always depend on the whale and needed to meet his expectations.
Divided into two balanced teams, one with seven and the other with eight members, they prepared. Ruri waved, and two spatial channels appeared. Everyone took a deep breath and jumped without looking back.
"Let’s go," the whale said, extending his hand.
Ruri grabbed it, smiling, and they were together again. Another channel appeared, and the two moved. In two seconds, the space around them closed, and the pair appeared in a different world.
The sealed worlds here were affected by the power left in the Desolate Battlefield, making the spatial walls extremely weak and allowing them to pass through with a high-level formation.
They found themselves in a desolate land, without a single blade of grass. There were battle scars everywhere, apparently from many years ago. The air was filled with brutality and killing intent.
*BOOM!*
"NO!"
They had just entered when an explosive sound echoed along with a miserable scream.
The whale and Ruri hurriedly moved towards the sound. Rolling hills covered this land, and after passing a particular mountain, they saw a valley below.
More than ten demons were being chased by a group of monsters in the valley. The monsters were a dark mass, with silver wings contrasting against their black bodies.
Alm and Bruno looked closely and realized this swarm was actually a group of wasps, each dozens of meters long.
"Yin-devouring King Wasps?" Alm was surprised to see them. They were an extremely ancient type of Demon Beast they knew from the previous universe they lived in. Finally, some solid knowledge from the past could benefit them.
Their bodies were as hard as divine iron, and their jaws were strong enough to crush any ore and cultivator. These wasps forged their bodies by consuming a type of valuable and pure Yin crystal as food. For there to be so many here, there had to be a vein of this crystal present.
One of the demons was holding a piece of something black and running like crazy. Despite the swarm of wasps behind him, he wasn’t willing to throw it away.
’That... yes, it’s Elunium!’ Bruno confirmed, recognizing the crystal from the Forging God’s Dao.
Elunium is widely considered one of the hardest Yin crystals in the world, practically indestructible against most materials. In practice, only items made of Elunium or those of much higher and rarest levels can damage it. Its hardness was accompanied by a daunting weight, making it highly used for axes and war hammers.
This crystal could only be stored in extremely high-level spatial rings made with the best materials. Otherwise, it would reject the spatial ring; this was why the demons were being forced to carry it manually.
These demons weren’t particularly powerful. Some were at the elementary level of the Spirit Fusion Realm, like the whale, but they all obviously wore clothes from the Shadow God Sect.
In terms of speed, they were no match for the king wasps. The wasps’ wings had special runes that gave them the ability to manipulate the winds skillfully. Compared to the demons, it was as if they could teleport.
These beasts were terrifying and complete. They were a set of defense, attack, and speed that was very hard to deal with, and they always moved in a group.
The demons’ attacks could kill at most one or two of them before their attack power dropped to the point where they couldn’t break through the defenses of the other wasps.
"AHH!"
One of the demons had just killed one of the wasps when he was attacked by another. His body was crushed by the wasp’s jaws.
His physical body was destroyed, and the others screamed miserably as they tried to fight against these terrible beasts. But there were too many. The demons were surrounded and, in just a few breaths, were annihilated.
The Elunium crystals they had obtained were taken by the wasps, who flew away, leaving behind only mangled corpses.
Alm and Bruno smiled excitedly, while Ruri was amazed by the power of these wasps.
Ruri looked at the corpses and saw some spatial rings. However, those people were too weak and wouldn’t have anything good in their spatial rings. No one bothered to pick them up.
Earlier, she had saved some rings from the previous attack and looked inside. Those disciples didn’t carry anything valuable besides demonic stuff. Besides, after fighting these demons, she hated looking through their spatial rings, sure there would be many disgusting things inside them.
"These wasps are scary… defensively powerful, fast, and with high killing power. If I fought many alone, I’d have to run," Ruri murmured.
The whale nodded, recognizing Ruri’s sharp instincts. "Nothing is perfect, all those advantages come from the Yin crystals. When something is too specialized, no matter how powerful it is, it has fatal weaknesses. Let’s go."
Ruri was curious, and the two ran following the wasps’ trail. After reaching the top of a mountain, they saw a massive mountain range glowing with a black, gleaming color. The mountain range looked like a dark, winding dragon.
These mountains were covered with many caves, and they saw numerous wasps coming and going.
"Wow, this whole mountain is made of that crystal," Ruri murmured, amazed. Although she was prepared, she was still shocked to see such a large vein.
There wasn’t the slightest vegetation in this barren land, and everything was under the wasps’ watch. Trying to steal anything in secret would be very difficult. Those demons were an excellent example. There were methods, of course, but they wouldn’t be necessary. Alm and Bruno came for the Elunium, but that wasn’t the main thing.
The duo jumped off the mountain and started walking brazenly towards the central mountain. They were quickly noticed by the busy wasps, and a swarm of them gathered around them.
The whale snorted, and the Yang tattoo pulsed. A white aura enveloped his body and Ruri’s. The reason he dared to advance so arrogantly was because the wasps’ powerful defenses were weak only to the purest Yang.

Their wings were extremely vulnerable to Yang, especially at this unimaginable level coming from the tattoo. As expected, once he revealed this power, they all backed off, not daring to block their path.
More and more wasps appeared, filling the sky and the ground. But none of them dared to try to stop them, letting out panicked cries.
Those sounds didn’t come from their mouths but were made by rubbing their wings together, a warning to their enemies.
"Human, you can stop right there! What do you want?" As the duo reached the foot of the mountain, two figures appeared in the sky.
They had human form. One was a man, the other was a woman, both dressed in black armor with identical horns on their heads, like all Yin-devouring King Wasps.
They were the Wasp King and Wasp Queen, and their powerful auras fell upon the duo. A black shadow swirled in their eyes, like two sharp blades staring at them.
The whale seemed not to hear them and continued advancing beside Ruri, step by step. "Human, we don’t want to be your enemies. Stop there!" shouted the Wasp King.
Only then did the whale pause. He raised his head and looked at them. "I don’t want to be your enemy either. It’s the opposite. I hope we can work together."
"What do you mean? You want to negotiate for our sacred crystal?" asked the Wasp King.
"Half correct. I want all the Elunium essence, and I also want information and a partnership. You certainly have soldiers throughout this sealed world, right?"
"Don’t even think about it! We’re already targeted enough by the demons."
The Wasp Queen opened her mouth, enraged. Her aura surged, making the space tremble. The wasps around them slowly moved closer, ready to fight at any moment.
"I said I don’t want to be your enemy and that we can work together. But it seems you’re questioning my attitude. Fine."
The space twisted, and a colossal sword appeared. The whale buried his blade into the ground, creating infinite cracks. An endless Yang power shook the sky. At that moment, all the wasps swallowed hard and didn’t dare to move.
Fides was used 100% of the time to manipulate the power of faith, but this blade was also an extreme Yang weapon created by them.
