Alm and Bruno stood frozen, stunned. They had never seen this type of heroic domain before. The entire environment had been replaced by the power of the heroes. In it, they were like sharks in their natural habitat.
Even the immense power from the sealed worlds and Ruri’s equally terrifying technique working together... much of the power had been nullified.
’Shit... this is altering reality on a smaller scale. The offensive power is drastically reduced, and they can defend themselves. Our knowledge of heroes has always been limited, and almost nonexistent about immortals,’ Bruno thought grimly.
Alm, on the other hand, looked up, feeling Ruri’s unshakable confidence. ’She’s smart. She knows she can’t win now, but she’ll do as much damage as possible to buy us time.’
Bruno took a deep breath, nodded, and they moved forward covertly. The heroes might have the ability to survive, but they had no idea about the true power of the Celestial Flames and the Karmic Flames. Their arrogance was deep and absolute, making them think they were above everything; that would buy a bit more time.
The Demoness dropped Almin and Lyra after fully sealing them with her power. Then, she turned upward and advanced. All the hundreds of heroes leaped into the sky, uniting together.
The lotus in the sky trembled slightly, suppressed by the heroic power. But, within two seconds, it spun again with full force. In that brief interval, the heroes moved in sync, extending their arms to press down with their combined power.
However, outside their senses, a figure approached Almin and Lyra silently. The two watched him with trembling eyes, Alm and Bruno signaled to them, placing them in the inventory and moving immediately afterward.
The Demoness sensed something was wrong as the power she’d used earlier disappeared. But she couldn’t lose focus on the lotus.
Inside the inventory, Liumi and the others quickly removed the simple seal on Almin and Lyra. The entire movement lasted only ten seconds. Meanwhile, the heroes were sweating cold as they struggled together to deal with that abnormal power, which resisted the complete suppression.
Ruri made the heroes believe they could suppress it on purpose so that Almin and Lyra would be rescued. After seeing they had been taken, she sighed, and the mystical lotus glowed intensely.
"What?" One of the heroes widened his eyes as he noticed the abrupt change, but it was too late.
**KBOOOM!**
The lotus suddenly exploded. A devastating wave of mental power slightly weakened the heroes’ defenses. Then, the incredibly powerful Karmic Flames collided with their barriers, making them spit blood.
Soon after, the Celestial Flames reached them. In that moment, it felt like a star had exploded. The immense dark karma accumulated by the heroes became the fuel for those flames, burning intensely.
Desperation took over many of them. Even though they had suppressed 90% of that power, the three combined attacks caught them completely off guard. Still, the heroes gritted their teeth, keeping calm while manipulating their heroic domain abilities.
Meanwhile, Alm and Bruno arrived at a location not too far off, where golden runes formed a seal that blended into the heroic domain of the environment. There lay the other half of the cauldron.
Ruri had bought time and perfectly drawn the attention of all the heroes. As soon as they arrived, Almin stepped out with Lyra. She had already taken several healing pills made exclusively by Almin for emergencies. They were of such high quality that they healed her completely in seconds.
The two didn’t waste time. Almin took a deep breath, activating the power of his new internal rune with the Infernal law. When he absorbed it, he obviously hadn’t fully mastered its power; he had only fused it with his old rune to create a new one. Now, the Infernal rune was on the same level as his Immortal Fire rune.
Almin’s eyes turned scarlet. Lyra held his hand, and the two focused on what lay ahead.
Alm and Bruno used the Law of Duality of Shadows to break the seal, revealing the interior.
It was very similar to the half of the cauldron that Lyra possessed, but this one radiated a demonic and dark aura. Just feeling its fluctuations reminded them of chaotic, demonic darkness. It was indeed similar to the Infernal laws, but at a higher level.
This was the symbol of Chaos in the world, while the other half represented Order. Together, the two parts formed the item of Primordial Chaos, born from the heavenly laws themselves.

The mere proximity of this item to mortals caused incomprehensible calamities for cultivators. Not even the queen could control this power; these items represented the ultimate force of heaven and earth.
Almin and Lyra worked together, supporting one another. Almin fully utilized his control over the Infernal law, which had been part of his life since forever.
He, who was born with the memories of when he was killed by his brother, had joined the malevolent cultivators of the Pristine planet at a young age, coming into contact with these laws. Strangely, the Chaos the cauldron seemed to control synchronized perfectly with him. But the Order of his life was on his side, offering support and balance.
Meanwhile, the battle of the heroes seemed to reach its climax. The flames around them began to die down, and the golden radiance prevailed.
Ruri, burning all the power of her soul, did her best to buy more time. Even so, Alm and Bruno looked up and sighed heavily. They could feel the power of the heroic domain and realized the situation was worse than they had expected.
The heroes had been surprised by the flames, but their power had barely decreased by 30%. Even if Almin got half of the cauldron, turning the tide seemed impossible.
Proof of that was the instinctive feeling of absolute death that permeated Alm and Bruno. Their instincts never failed in moments like these, which only made them more tense.
Ten seconds later. The last remnants of flames disappeared around the heroes. Almin and Lyra felt the pressure of the golden domain increase. They didn’t have time.
Lyra squeezed Almin’s hand tighter, all her determination focused on him. Almin, in turn, took a deep breath, letting the memories of all the suffering he had faced flow through his mind, driving him forward.
All the pain his brother had experienced, leading him to do what he did... all the anguish of the life forms oppressed by the Queen... He, who had always been a modest, even fearful person, now had the chance to be part of something monumental, something unimaginable in history.
He squeezed Lyra’s hand back gently, transmitting his will and confidence.
Suddenly, a subtle pulse surged within his soul.
Alm and Bruno felt it, astonished. Using their celestial souls, they focused on Almin, and then clearly perceived something emerging from within his soul.
’Is this... the power of Heaven’s Will inside him?’ Bruno murmured, surprised.
*Crack!*
Suddenly, Almin’s soul cracked, and from the fissures, an intense power emerged, emanating directly from his essence. In moments, his entire soul pulsed and reconstructed itself before their eyes.
’A divine soul... he advanced...’ Bruno commented, astonished.
The two watched Almin’s body, remembering the challenge they had faced when Ruri went through the same process.
However, this time, no issues arose. That fragment of Heaven’s Will they had felt earlier clearly fused with Almin’s soul and body, disappearing afterward.
Both quickly thought and understood. The will of heaven had always been inside Almin, but only now were they able to perceive it, partly because they now had celestial souls capable of understanding such a phenomenon.
Almin was born in the Queen’s universe, carrying the memories of his past life. His soul was ordinary, not divine, which should have been impossible. However, Alm and Bruno knew this was a direct result of Heaven’s Will.
Alm said seriously, "Probably, Heaven’s Will intended to turn Almin into its missionary, but it no longer had the strength to do so. So, it did what it could: reincarnated him in the place where we would eventually find him, and implanted a seed of itself in his soul, ensuring that he kept his memories. Even his body was prepared in advance so that, when he advanced, he’d be ready."
Bruno agreed. With their help, using the array to nurture Almin’s soul, it was like watering the seed within him. Eventually, if Almin had enough willpower, he would advance on his own. Heaven’s Will couldn’t directly transform his soul, but it gave him a significant push.
It was at that moment that Ruri’s power, along with all of her soul, extinguished. Inside the Yinblood sect, her body, and her eyes painfully opened, but there was an immense apprehension driving her to move.
In the sealed world. The heroes were completely burned and gravely injured. The pain and damage were enormous, but they ignored it, grinning sinisterly... until their expressions twisted, turning toward the ground.
There, they saw Almin and Lyra. In front of them, the two halves of a single cauldron glowed brightly, eclipsing the golden domain. The two parts united, and the world, along with the celestial laws, seemed to vibrate in anticipation.
The heroes were stunned. The power of the Primordial Chaos item was calm and controlled. Almin and Lyra had united the parts and fully mastered that power!
However, after the initial shock, the heroes broke into almost radiant smiles of joy.
As for Alm and Bruno, they were nowhere to be seen. They had moved away, hiding. As they prepared for what was to come, they were tense, with no confidence in victory.
Their instincts screamed that this wouldn’t end well, not in any way. There was almost a sense of desperation in both of them. They could only use their trump card, but the heroic domain would prevent them from winning — or even escaping.
