The three clans of the seventh level were now united, displaying various expressions on their faces. Since the mont the demon emperor disappeared, they found themselves entangled in a desperate fight against countless electric beasts. Surrounded, they fought for their own survival, but suddenly, they all felt a change in the laws. Imdiately, all the beasts ran together in a single direction.
Currently, only the purest electric laws fell upon their bodies, and they couldn’t perceive any danger from a great distance. The advisors leading the clans were confused. After an hour, the level of the laws increased significantly.
The skies darkened, and an infinite and deadly electric power erged as an on of the end tis. On the ground, it wasn’t just the intensity of the laws that increased; they beca more and more pure. The demons’ eyes widened, without any hesitation, only greed and desire for power.
’I gave them a chance to escape and even attracted the beasts to save them. What happens now is not my concern,’ Alm ntally said to Bruno, noticing the demons who chose to stay. They had previously emitted all the signs of danger and alert.
Two hours passed, and the laws multiplied again. Suddenly, the clans of the seventh level heard a muffled explosion to the south and turned alard. It was the sixth-level clans that also chose to stay, and so perished. All the advisors of the seventh level felt the bloodline in the air and understood what had happened, but sothing sinister seed to arise in their minds.
In the center of this realm, the whale observed the cultivators of the two clans he trained. They were trembling, but sohow, they stood firm under the falling rays from the skies. The whale nodded in satisfaction and watched the people in the distance.
He divided the realm into sectors, taking into account each individual’s cultivation. The weaker mbers received fewer rays, being able to adapt slowly and move towards the center as they improved. Ruri was extrely close to the exit; she wanted to train her body and cultivate. Perhaps Alm and Bruno had made all this effort for her, but they didn’t think too much about it.
In the next hour, he began using demon bones and injecting Qi into everyone. It didn’t take long for muffled sounds to echo as everyone’s cultivations explosively soared.
However, when another hour passed, Alm and Bruno furrowed their brows. Sothing was wrong. Calirer hadn’t advanced any levels, and all the advisors who reached the sixth level of the Elental Condensation Realm, like her, seed to freeze at the sa stage.
They carefully examined everyone and noticed sothing peculiar. They approached Calirer and felt the Yin rune she cultivated in her body.
’All the Qi we injected... nothing is sticking,’ Bruno thought, intrigued, and then asked.
"What is the maximum cultivation of the main demon clans?"
Calirer searched her mories. Although she never had direct contact with them, information about the main clans was always disclosed. "I believe the leader and all mbers of them must be at the sixth level of the Elental Condensation Realm."
The whale snorted. ’Herbs created only to feed the formation shouldn’t be too strong to avoid causing trouble,’ Alm sarcastically said. ’A cultivation limiter is normal for slaves; why wouldn’t demons have one?’
’We can deal with this later. If we force it now, the emperor will find out. Damn, our plan has been ruined. Now, if all the main demons have this limit...’ Bruno delved deep into his thoughts.
Alm chuckled dryly and said, ’Definitely a sinister and admirable job. It doesn’t reveal that they are actually slaves. Divide them into clans to instill self-hatred and prevent them from uniting. They are born in an environnt that encourages them to compete for resources and fight for their positions in the abyss. They are true cattle kept entertained in their internal squabbles. He even created hunting grounds that are the realms.’
Bruno sighed ntally. ’It’s truly a good thod to continuously feed the demonic diagrams. Then, they will be compelled to develop their bloodlines and other aspects to differentiate themselves... clever!’
Bruno spoke calmly. "Calirer, you ntioned earlier that, to decide which clans enter the realm of ashes, a grand ceremony is held, and everything is decided based on the outco. There are always two competitions, one for the youths under a hundred years old and another for those above three hundred years." (Chapter 173)
Calirer nodded, understanding where he was going, and replied, "The young generation competes in a fair fight in the sa realm, so you can participate. Those over three hundred years old fight with their bloodlines, and our small clan could participate, but... at the sa ti, it was almost impossible to et the minimum."
She felt Goku’s strange gaze and, thinking about what she had told him in the past, continued hastily.
"The forr clan leader was the purest half-demon born within the clan in centuries. He has participated in the ceremony several tis and managed to pass in so of them; always in the last place, of course. But the overall results of the clan never allowed him to enter. I didn’t lie to you at that ti. I thought that if you participated in the young generation, we would certainly enter this ti."
The whale nodded in understanding. ntally, Bruno beca excited. ’So, all we need to do is raise their cultivations to the limit and train them rigorously in other aspects. In the end, we’ll save resources to use. PERFECT!’
After that, Alm and Bruno pushed the electrical laws even further. They spared no effort for everyone to reach the maximum limit. After days passed, their cultivation naturally stopped rising as they lacked understanding.
That’s when Alm had an interesting and sinister idea. Bruno didn’t need to hear what he wanted and imdiately tried to cut him off. But in a few minutes, they felt sothing different coming from a point in the realm.
’Co on, it was about ti.’ Alm said, laughing in a wicked manner.
They moved silently and slled the scent of black blood in the air. When they got closer, they saw only the Yin of death perating and blending with the electrical laws, dissipating.
’Sons of...’ Bruno spat.
Ahead of them, there were only the remains of all the mbers of the three sixth-level clans. It wasn’t the laws that killed them; after they split into sectors, they should have been able to escape. The one who ruthlessly killed them was a bit distant.
’It was obvious that the advisors from the bigger clans would do sothing like this. This place has beco a divine training ground for them. Since they had a similar level, letting them cultivate peacefully was a risk. The demon emperor did a good job of creating hatred among the clans; now, the diagram received a magnificent surge of life force and souls.’ Alm said, laughing.
’I thought of being kind and letting them train, but they don’t deserve my kindness. Screw them, they’ll serve a greater purpose.’ Bruno spoke dryly. At that mont, he seed to embody his villainous self that he thought he had left behind. Alm just laughed even more sinisterly.

CRASH!
A sinuous black lightning snaked through the skies like a malevolent and ominous dragon. Below, everything seed to freeze, and all the demons, feeling a malevolent presence, raised their gazes in fear.
An infinite killing intent descended upon the world like a macabre shroud. Instantly, everyone turned their bodies and gazes to the sa place, witnessing a round, shadowy figure approaching slowly, holding a gigantic bone club and a twisted smile on its face.
CRASH!
In the heavens, the purest annihilating lightning condensed to the extre, causing the realm to tremble in response. The thin threads of lightning that fell upon them turned black, and in an instant, endless electric currents invaded their bodies. The demons felt their cores and Qi being dispersed by this overwhelming power.
But as the steps drew near, the demons turned with even more fear and despair, a deadly malice cruelly attacking their minds.
"Your lives will be taken slowly. I hope you enjoy the experience," the shadowy figure spoke with a smile, approaching slowly. The sound of its steps echoed like a macabre drum, and the promise of sadism hung in the air.

After the dirty work was done, Calirer and Runula handed over the demonic diagrams to the whale. They manipulated it directly; now, Alm and Bruno had so knowledge about this diagram and a certainty. Its main sustenance wasn’t the treasures of the realm. At least in the lower realms, treasures were just a variation of abyssal crystals.
The clans and their mbers fed the diagram with their three life powers, slowly and stealthily, to the point that most lived and died without realizing what they had lost. Thus, they forcibly extracted the life force from those demons and fused it with ntal and spiritual power. An exorbitant amount of it.
Ruri had already passed out on the whale’s back; all her ntal power was used. In seconds, the two diagrams lit up in vibrant colors. This was the best kind of food, and it greatly benefited those with demon blood.
From that day on, the level of understanding of the mbers of the two clans exploded overnight as if by magic. When soone stopped at a certain level, the whale would just say a few words, and they imdiately understood and advanced. They were receiving a luxurious treatnt that not even the number one clan had access to.
Thus, everything happened extrely quickly and efficiently. The whale flooded them with Qi, using all the realm’s treasures, and they advanced levels practically every day. Only those who reached the limit of the sixth level of the Elental Condensation Realm were stagnant. Then, they trained their bodies under the lightning.
A month later, the diagrams began to fade. However, they were no longer of much use.
Thousands of half-demons and half-wyverns now roared with their imposing Qi. From the older to the younger, all emanated a powerful and suffocating presence, be it physically, in their cultivations, or in their bloodlines.
Everyone erged from the realm of lightning with piercing looks. From that day on, an army of thousands of cultivators at the sixth level of the Elental Condensation Realm erged as if they had sprouted from the void.
A round and chubby void.
