Alm and Bruno looked tense as they silently felt the power of gold. It was only later that they understood sothing: it wasn’t just the laws and techniques of this universe that were extrely powerful. They felt the bloodline of those two beasts and recognized their origins; it was a simple and unremarkable bloodline that existed in their previous universe.
But in the queen’s universe... all life and its races, no matter how small they were out there. Here, they were slowly nurtured to an unbelievable level. So naturally excelled, and powerful mutations erged. Nothing here was simple; no bloodline and no cultivator could be underestimated in this universe.
The proof was right in front of them. A dense bloodline seed to envelop their bodies, suppressing the world and radiating unlimited power. They were two beasts of the sa bloodline as those two leaders. Their cultivations were in the Divine Sovereign Realm, the highest realm possible in the divine world. As if that wasn’t desperate enough; the presence of the queen in them was clear. They weren’t heroes but rather a new type of figure that only existed in this universe; an Empyrean.
’Fuck...’ Bruno cursed ntally.
The two leaders were saved after burning almost all their lives and bloodlines; that bone must belong to a mystical figure, being a unique treasure. They sacrificed it to summon these two figures.
"Hehehehe, you little bastard, now let’s see how you’re going to escape." One of the two leaders spoke maliciously, his image resembling dry bones that would be swept away by a stronger wind.
Behind them, the two spatial channels poured forth a golden power. The two pairs of eyes watched from within them, but the connection was still unstable. First, they sent the golden power to save them... in less than ten seconds, they could personally pass through. They were in a very distant place where spatial power capable of bringing them was at the limit of the laws. The power was so high that they had to wait.
"Ancestor! The whole family was destroyed by this human! He holds many secrets, if we can get everything from him, we can rebuild ourselves," the other demon beast said dryly, and a pair of eyes behind blinked.
The cost for the two leaders was their lives; they wouldn’t live another hundred years after this. They hesitated until the last mont to use it. But now, these ancestors would return and ensure that their families could rise again.
9 seconds...
’Shit, we have to use the celestial miracle,’ Bruno said quickly.
They had enough points to use the last miracle they hadn’t used yet; the Miracle of Physical, ntal, and Spiritual Rebirth. After using it, the number of points would be multiplied by three. It was a card they couldn’t use for long. They wanted to save it to use against the four Empyrean families.
8 seconds...
’Even if we use the Eclipsing Divinity, we won’t be able to kill them,’ Alm said coldly. ’This power is concentrated and made to kill a deity... they are two beings at the peak of cultivation, and our power is limited.’
Previously, they had killed a Chromaraic in the main mission in the heavenly realm. However, that was a sudden strike while he ditated. Now there were two, and they were focused on the whale; Alm felt that they had noticed sothing about them and wouldn’t underestimate them.
7 seconds...
Alm and Bruno’s minds were working at an insane speed in search of a solution. They needed sothing capable of taking down the two together, sothing impossible for them at the mont.
Bruno thought about his celestial flas. Technically, they would have the capability, but their level was too low; the two had previously extinguished the flas with just the golden power. This influence from the queen was clearly superior; if they were hit directly, it would be just a joke.
Alm sighed heavily. What they lacked was raw power, not technique. In the sa realm, they were like gods stepping on insects. They possessed a completely unbelievable capability, but their cultivation was a threshold against the powerful.
’Sothing available...’ murmured Alm, then he felt a squeeze in his hand.
6 seconds...
Suddenly, the minds of Alm and Bruno leapt. Sothing that was not theirs and wasn’t even considered a power, but was always available: karma.
Past Ruri also had a lot of it and used it to create her technique and do the impossible. Could they do the sa? Bruno thought quickly with no answer, but Alm promptly said.
’My karmic flas use exactly our karma mixed with pure Yin and soul power. And only one third of its power... but it’s similar. This can give us extre capability, but we still lack power.’
As he spoke, Bruno rembered the karmic flas in action, after his celestial flas. The two were unique and theirs alone, representing the maximum Yin and Yang poles. ’Maybe... the tattoos can do sothing... she united Yin and Yang, wouldn’t she unite the two flas? The power of the two is equal to Yin and Yang, they can complent each other and multiply.’
Alm reflected. It wasn’t Yin and Yang anymore, but the two flas were completely opposite in every way... the key to this... the fourth level of the tattoos: harmony beyond duality.
5 seconds...
’We don’t have ti to reflect on the fourth level of the tattoo. We also don’t know how to use our karma perfectly... but we have soone who does,’ Bruno said quickly, gently squeezing Ruri’s hand.
There was no ti to explain; Ruri only felt her master’s soul power invading her. She closed her eyes and accepted promptly, without any reservations. Bruno delved into her ntal sea and then nodded, causing a rune that didn’t exist until recently to light up.
4 seconds...
The rune, containing part of the old Ruri’s soul and will, awakened. Sensing her master’s intentions, Ruri imdiately activated her Dao. A ntal power surged, fueled by karma to the limit.
’Ruri, connect with us through your Dao and use everything we have. I’ll be like the sea, you must control the waters with your power. Only you can do this based on your Dao.’
3 seconds...
Alm and Bruno poured the power of their divine soul and bloodline into her hero rune. There was no ti to think; the array and a large part of their souls were her connection to them. Ruri, using the heroic power, could control and manipulate their flas.
She had to rge them just a little, so that their power would explosively multiply. There was only one chance, and Ruri could only do it imdiately or it was the end. The whale fell from the sky towards the formation. Death was so clear upon them that they simply ignored it. In the midst of the air, the whale’s eyes pulsed and changed. The two split souls rged again.
The whale roared. The faith rune and the Yin rune poured everything they had in the sa second. The ridians swelled, and the physical cultivation sealed everything inside. Suddenly, one of the whale’s hands radiated a celestial blue; the other, a black Yin with crimson lines.
2 seconds...
Whooosh!
Celestial and karmic flas ignited simultaneously. The entire sky was covered by them, as if they were devouring the life and hope of the world.
Alm and Bruno felt Ruri moving the flas with great effort. Since the karmic flas used their dark karma along with pure Yin, it was actually similar to the technique Ruri had developed in the past, allowing her to manipulate two-thirds of that power. But to their surprise, she also drew from her latest experience with the power of faith and, with the help of the hero’s rune, managed to control part of the Celestial Fla as well.
But... when she unleashed a violent burn using their karma...
Her body pulsed with blood from all sides, cracks appeared in every possible corner. Her entire white and pure dress turned red. Her entire existence was a hair’s breadth away from violently exploding.
1 Second!
’FUCK!’
Alm and Bruno, united again, roared in fury at Ruri’s condition. They were forcing her to sothing beyond possible, and using their karma as fuel, which was as infinite as the skies.
An aura of death began to flow around Ruri. She was pushed to the precipice and was in free fall; there was no turning back.
He closed his eyes, and his tattoo pulsed...
The image of his dead wife strangely appeared in them. Soon, a terrible fear and will engulfed them. They would rather die than see this happen again. In their minds, Ruri was no longer different from Isla.
The Yin and Yang tattoos pulsed together... in complete harmony... sothing beyond duality.
CRACK!
The entire planet Pristine and all forms of life and laws trembled and were suppressed. Two divine and superior presences erged at the sa ti, radiating all their magnitude on this small ascending planet.
The Qi... life energy... every trace of soul power... all of the whale’s essence was burned in exchange for a power beyond mortal planes.
In that sa second, Ruri felt warmth coursing through her body, there was no more pain. She closed her eyes and felt that harmonious power from her master giving her support. All of her senses were sealed away without her realizing... at that exact mont, a divine and sacred soul was behind her, touching her shoulder.
The hero rune pulsed at maximum strength; her own Dao elevated to the highest level; her ntal cultivation soared to the maximum. She manipulated the two flas that seed like furious waves in two opposing colors.
As the two divine beings stepped onto the planet, their hearts stopped beating. They simply looked upward. At this level of cultivation, they no longer felt death looming over their heads; they could literally read their karma and glimpse the future... there was only one thing... death...
"World Exterminating Karmic Lotus!"
The voices of Alm and Bruno, now just like souls, sounded softly. ntal power, celestial flas, and karmic flas rged in harmony. Ruri created a lotus; sothing she knew that brought the greatest balance possible.
In the world, there was only silence. On that ascending planet, it seed like ti and space froze for everyone... in the divine world, at the sa ti, all major powers felt the celestial karma stir as if it quaked.
The city army looked up with their minds blank. But their hearts beat as if they were glimpsing the secrets of the world. All celestial karma beca visible before that flaming lotus.
As the lotus descended, the world’s light went out. Not just from the planet, even the divine world was affected on a small scale, by a dazzling light.
It lasted several seconds... until colors, life, and hope erged again.
Everyone in the city army awakened completely intact. That power was harmonious and utterly pure, there was no malice or goodness, nothing but sothing marked by karma was affected. All eyes were still turned upward. There they saw Ruri trembling, looking at sothing faint... it was a soul in its last remnants of light.
[Activate the miracle?] [Yes / No]
’Yes...’
In the skies, a mystical spectacle unfolded before the onlookers’ eyes. Celestial laws pulsed in harmony, creating a symphony of lights and shadows dancing on the horizon. The sky beca a sea of stars, each shining point slowly falling like blessings from the gods.
As gazes fixated on this celestial phenonon, the thousands of stars converged to a single point, as if nature itself were weaving a new form of life. A sphere of light began to form, its round contours gaining density with each passing second, while the laws of the universe seed to bow before this imminent rebirth. In a fleeting instant, matter took shape, life energy flooded every particle, a divine rebirth unfolded before all, so magnificent that words could not describe.
And then, at the epicenter of this rebirth, the whale erged once again, its body radiating a celestial aura that transcended the bounds of divinity, a presence that defied mortal comprehension.
Ruri’s eyes trembled as the figure that represented everything to her resurfaced before her eyes. She saw every shining inch of her body, and her heart beat uncontrollably. However, her attention was montarily diverted when her eyes slowly fell. A sudden warmth enveloped her, and in a mont of surprise, she looked away and nodded. A set of clothes appeared before her. With agility, she dressed her master, even using the spatial shadow to dress the whale as quickly as she could.
Alm and Bruno had already returned to their separate forms, but sothing strange lingered in their hearts; a part of their souls was still intertwined with hers. They felt every emotion she experienced... that fleeting glance downward and the sudden wave of warmth that enveloped her... they quickly understood. However, surprisingly, they did not feel discomfort with it... perhaps an excited sensation filled them? They thought so, but remained silent.
For the inhabitants of the city, that day would be forever rembered and narrated. For the divine being, death ant nothing; it controlled natural life, worldly existences, and the very karma of the universe. Its glorified tales would echo throughout the corners of the world and beyond, transcending the boundaries of ti and space.
