The moment the power of the Divine Inquisitors spread throughout the environment, Alm and Bruno immediately recognized its origin.
The celestial will generated in their micro universe wasn’t a form of energy or anything usable in combat. It was, in fact, an extraordinary ability to suppress or influence external elements with ease.
This power was similar to the control over Yin and Yang tattoos, but the Divine Inquisitors’ power covered anything. In normal situations, this wouldn’t have much significance. Even in a confrontation with a regular cultivator, Alm and Bruno knew this ability would only slightly influence the opponent’s energy; after all, their micro-universe was still rudimentary and full of flaws.

However, in this specific situation, with the sealed world isolated from the universe by the force of a formation, this ability became perfect. The Inquisitors were able to enter the place without any fuss.
’Shit, we expected she might do something to investigate, but it was too soon,’ murmured Bruno, tense. ’To get in here, no doubt, they’re immortal Divine Inquisitors.’
Their whole plan had collapsed. They had triggered the emergence of the Ziz, and the formation immediately detected its presence, activating the power of the gems. However, the tattoos on Bruno and Alm dominated that power and kept it under control without the heroes noticing.
The plan was simple: wait for the heroes to try using karmic luck to communicate with the queen, and then attack with the power of the gems, collapsing the small world with the heroes inside.
Although they could escape in a few minutes, they would have to use a lot of energy and would still be quite injured. But this would give Alm and Bruno time to steal half of the cauldron and destroy the sealed world formation.
They would send the Empyreans to the outer universe before making the formation of the place collapse. With the Eraser, they’d escape at the last moment, without needing to directly interact with all the power of the sealed worlds.
They wouldn’t need to control the power of the formation directly, so there would be minimal risk. The heroes, after escaping the collapsed inner world, would find themselves in the collapsing outer sealed world as well, with the whole formation exploding. They wouldn’t have any more strength or any chance of survival; not even their souls would resist.
With the arrival of these new enemies, the original plan became unfeasible. They would be prevented from completing the final steps.
Everything happened in five seconds. The heroes remained still, while the event countdown continued. Alm and Bruno had no choice but to use the celestial soul power to see the outside.
They activated the power of the gems, intensifying their glow to try and inhibit the heroes’ senses. Using their celestial vision, they noticed that the heroes hadn’t noticed anything.
’They stopped,’ murmured Alm coldly. ’They’re probably investigating the outside, knowing the heroes are inside here... separated, making it even harder for us to deal with this.’
Both thought quickly and turned their attention to the Ziz, Purimu, and Lyra.
At that moment, the results of the treasure hunt were revealed. The countdown was managed by another mechanism from the heroes, which wasn’t part of the local seal.
’First place: Vuron from the Heavenly Spirit God Sect,’ announced the hero dryly.
Then, runes appeared around all the winners, indicating their positions and rewards. Everyone got excited, and with the completion of the event, the heroes’ golden mechanism pulsed intensely.
Immediately, the queen’s will began to connect to it, energy started to accumulate, and the celestial laws were about to bring karmic luck. The heroes prepared, knowing they had to work together when the maximum activation occurred; the window was minimal, and they had to send the message clearly.
In one second... nothing happened.
The gems around everyone lost their power and strangely dimmed. The heroes squinted their eyes, suspicious. It was then that the Demoness heroine instinctively felt a mortal danger.
She turned around, but it was too late to react. Suddenly, as if emerging from the void, a wave of greenish power hit them from all sides.
**BOOM!**
The earth, sky, and space shattered. A terrifying explosion erupted, surrounding the heroes and hitting them directly.
The whole place was engulfed in waves of destruction. The Empyreans were thrown in all directions, exploding in blood.
That was only half of the power of the gems, with the other part, Alm and Bruno attacked directly to the underground of the place. The formation that sealed the Ziz had already had its five seals destroyed before, now it was simple to use this power to invade and blow everything up, collapsing the place.
All the remaining power was used differently. The Ziz controlled the laws of the winds in the gems and manipulated the law to bring the millions of runes from the Empyrean Conquerors, directing them toward the whale.
Everything happened quickly. In the next second after the explosion, the whale’s inventory was opened, and the Ziz urgently placed all the runes inside.
Purimu, to the right of the whale, controlled space to support the Ziz. Only with the runes from a Conqueror could they all be reborn, but not inside the inventory—Liumi would stop them with his power.
Lyra, to the left, emitted intense Yang flames, using her Phoenix bloodline. She was attracting the necessary laws from that place, using her bloodline. Her mission now had become more urgent and dangerous.
In three seconds, the internal world began to collapse. The space-time around them collapsed onto itself.
"Uncle, everyone’s inside!" Purimu roared before she and the Ziz quickly entered the inventory.
Lyra opened her eyes, and a white aura from a unique law surrounded her. She turned to the whale: "I’ve got enough." After speaking, she entered the inventory.
The whale snorted and, with a commanding gesture, made the whole place explode at once. With the Eraser in hand, they attacked upwards, opening a small breach and quickly escaping.
On the outside, in the sea of bones, the silence was absolute. Behind them, only an intense spatial distortion could be seen over the waters.
The whale turned around, and its eyes met those of Leviathan and Heze, who were a short distance from the site. They ran toward him and opened the inventory with no time to say a word.
Both were confused, not understanding their plans, but entered the inventory without resistance.
’We’ve got at most thirty minutes until the heroes get out of that place,’ Bruno calculated quickly. ’The Divine Inquisitors are coming from the east toward us. We have less than five minutes before they catch up with us.’
The first part of the original plan had to be put into action. They were now running as fast as possible in a straight line to where half of the cauldron was.
It was also the heart of the sealed world, and the Divine Inquisitors would surely pursue them. Now they needed to grab that half of the cauldron, then somehow solve this new problem.
Alm spoke seriously to Leviathan inside the inventory: ’We’ll need to use everything you have. We’ll try to find a way out, but if we have no other choice, we’ll send all of you out of this place.’
His words resonated among everyone inside. Purimu widened her eyes, not just her, but everyone clearly felt the intentions behind it. He made it clear that he might be forced to send the others... but not himself.
