There were 23 hours left, and there was no time to waste. The whale and his group ventured into the center of the sealed world, advancing cautiously as the space around them trembled intensely. Terrifying roars and the lingering sensation of a colossal battle from countless years ago filled the air. It felt like fallen spirits were everywhere, sending a chill through everyone.
This battlefield had only one path to follow, which was clear to everyone. Few dared to try another route; it would be complete suicide. The whole place was shrouded in mystery.
The group broke into a cold sweat, imagining the whale might not follow the path, but he just moved forward quickly without looking to the sides. Everyone quickly followed him.
Then, a huge skeleton blocked their path, floating in the sky like a giant mountain and emitting a tyrannical pressure. This place was the result of a battle between unparalleled cultivators who, fighting at such a high level, destroyed the heavenly laws. The wills of this battle persisted to the present, as not even the laws of time could eliminate them.
The whale snorted and waved, causing everything to be swallowed into his inventory. Passing through that place without following the path was dangerous even for them; there was a limit due to their current cultivation. Therefore, they couldn’t venture randomly. But that didn’t mean they wouldn’t gain anything.
As they advanced, sometimes strange scenes appeared like illusions, but it was theoretically impossible to touch them. Under normal circumstances, these illusions wouldn’t affect people that much.
If they said what they had just seen was all an illusion, it wouldn’t be entirely accurate. The terrifying battle had broken free from the constraints of space and time to affect them in the current era. However, they also couldn’t assert that what they had seen was necessarily real.
ROAAR!!!
Suddenly, a huge beast appeared in front of them, letting out a furious roar. Everyone felt a deadly pressure on their bodies, as if the creature would swallow them whole. It was colossal and resembled an Earth Dragon, but with a very short neck and six feet. Its true form was a mystery.
"Is it... alive?" Corin asked, pale.
"It’s neither dead nor alive. This isn’t even a real body. Although its body died, its will wasn’t erased," the whale explained emotionlessly.
It was an extremely shocking ability. It was clearly an incorporeal will that had condensed into an illusory body. Even after countless years, this killing intent hadn’t been eliminated. How terrifying was that?
"Corin, come here."
The whale called Corin over. When he approached, the whale waved, and the ghostly figure suddenly trembled as if feeling fear.
"Since you’re here, no need to rush off." The whale spoke calmly, and his eyes pulsed.
Everyone watched, horrified, as the will turned and tried to flee with all its might... it tried, but nothing could save it. The whale seemed like a black hole, sucking the will closer.
When the will was swallowed into the inventory, the whale placed his hand on Corin’s head, who trembled from head to toe.
The whale withdrew his hand, and Corin opened his eyes. The whale explained calmly, "I’ve sealed everything inside you. With this, you can gradually release that will. It will try to kill you and take over your body, but you’ll have to endure and use it to temper and refine yourself. Disciples used these wills only to strengthen their instincts, but you will absorb and completely dominate it... or die trying. If you succeed, it will be a million times more efficient training, and the gains will be unlimited when you reach a higher realm in cultivation."
Everyone looked at Corin, who seemed perfectly fine. The whale had completely sealed the will within him, and it would only manifest when he tried to release it.
The group continued advancing. They faced deafening roars and saw more figures: flying birds, demons, humans, life forms with two wings on their backs, and giants three hundred meters tall.
One of these giants punched as if trying to explode them. However, the giant was attacked from behind by a winged creature. Its head was cut off by a sword.
Each attack was simple and direct. One punch shook the heavens, while a sword broke the space. The laws of heaven and earth were repeatedly destroyed, and the fierce fight turned the scene into chaos. The space distorted, and they disappeared from sight.
"How powerful. Even after so many years, their battle still persists. A part of that battle can even affect the present. This is a kind of eternal power," commented Calirer, expressing everyone’s shock.
The wills remained eternally in conflict in this chaotic place. But the battle of the most powerful of them finally came to an end.
The whale assessed all the wills that appeared. The most powerful ones, which he deemed compatible with his allies, were captured without resistance. They were just wills, and with the use of the inventory, they were as helpless as a fish in a net.
In no time, each member of the group received a terrifying will sealed in their mental sea. Now, they could cultivate alone in a training as close to death as in a real battle.
After a little over two hours, everyone advanced quickly along a straight path toward the center of the place. During the experience of glimpsing this intense battle, where each strike had destroyed the laws of heaven and earth, they all felt like ants, completely incapable of resisting.
This intensified their determination to become stronger quickly, while also terrifying them to imagine the hidden power sealed within them. These wills belonged to incredible beings from the past.
As they walked, the whale’s tattoos were active, and Bruno was focused on recovering Ruri. They transferred Qi and all their energies to her without hesitation.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the battlefield, where the core of the sealed world’s formation was located. Ruri, upon opening her eyes, lazily got off the whale’s back.
The whale turned to Kaiyka and waved. She understood, sat down, and took the time to read the memories in the souls of the hundreds of Conquerors she had captured in the previous fight.
Ruri sat on the ground and connected to the formation. She had already mastered the first red sealed world with level one of the Dao of the God of Formation. In the second sealed world, there was no need, as the Golem God had already done it. Now, in the third place, with level two of the Dao, it was extremely easier for her. Alm and Bruno didn’t need to help.
After another two hours, Ruri opened her eyes and turned to the whale. "The entire underground is untouched. It’s possible to move many strange crystals with abnormal bloody power."
Alm and Bruno nodded. No disciple would dare venture far in this place. Digging and searching for treasures was impossible. Now, with the formation, everything would be theirs. This was crucial for the Yinblood sect.
The whale moved next to Ruri and held her hand. She managed to dominate a part of the formation, and the whale used his bloodline power to move all the minerals. The earth of the central world trembled, and everything was removed from the underground.
In an hour, everything was transferred to the inventory. Alm and Bruno felt it was 99.99% full of precious things. It was a high-level heist.
With 18 hours left, the whale handed a spatial ring to Ruri. Inside, there were items from the human, including another golden tablet; but this one was much larger and seemed to have several additional properties.
Kaiyka, after removing all the memories, handed them to the whale. They focused on reading the fragments while Ruri worked alongside.
With 13 hours left, the whale opened his eyes. He saw Ruri, who had already prepared numerous spatial runes connected in a formation.
"All set, master. This tablet has a connection to all the important locations of the Shadow God sect. Just indicate the exact place, and the formation can take us there."
Ruri spoke confidently. This time, there was enough time to create a stable channel, avoiding previous problems.

Alm and Bruno knew exactly where the planet was, where Amary’s body was being used, based on the obtained memories. Among the Conquerors, a dozen reached this level using the formation of the place.
The whale quickly explained the plans to everyone. They had certainly used the time to recover and prepare. What had once been just a warm-up was now giving way to the real dangerous move that was approaching.
