"Devil, if you kneel and beg for mercy, then the Lord might spare you. Or else you can only die here." The skeleton finally got the chance to speak arrogantly.

"Why didn't you use it earlier?" The Devil didn't get angry but rather asked curiously. Wouldn't he have been dealt easily and way faster if he had done so?

"Humph! It's because we didn't want to catch the attention of the four major sects. You must know that any moves made by experts at this level distort space and cause terrifying vision to appear between heavens and earth." The skeleton explained.

Furthermore, he heard that there would be some fluctuations appearing in the laws of heavens and earth, resulting in the Saints immediately catching these subtle movements. After all, they are immensely close to the laws and the world.

That's why beings above the Domain Realm barely took action and simply kept each other in check. Besides, even if they move, they are forbidden to showcase their abilities in the world. This was because their strength was heaven-defying.

They could shake mountains and seas, turn the earth and the sky upside down. Plus, if they released their spell, then everything in hundreds of miles radius would be destroyed. Thus, the region would be turbulent, making it impossible for people to survive.

In this case, either they themselves had to help in speeding up the recovery or depend on the natural aura of heavens and earth to restore its order. However, even with the rich aura of heavens and earth, it would take at least a thousand years to recover, which was not feasible.

As a result, the Saints all over the world had agreed not to battle openly and instead settle their grudges in the void or small world. The small world refers to the independent space made by oneself or a secret realm.

Not only the Saints, but the Venerable Experts had to follow the same arrangements as well. If any foolish individual disobeyed it, then they would be hunted down to death. This rule held for other worlds too since nobody wanted to witness their homes fall into oblivion.

"Hehe, I see." The devil evilly laughed contrary to the skeleton's exception.

"Insolent. You still dare to laugh?" The skeleton bellowed in anger.

"I don't know who the four major sects are. But you fools seem to fear them. It's amusing to think that your so-called majesty who is above the Saint Realm can't do anything about this." The devil mocked him. As for the rules set by the saint, he long since knew them.

"Measly Devil, you don't have the qualification to doubt our Majesty." A chilling male voice sounded from the space crack as it was opened by two to three meters wide. There a skinny person wearing a black cloak could be seen.

"Hehe, Qualification? I don't want to hear it from someone who has just reached the Venerable Stage."

But before he could enter inside, the Devil scoffed in disdain and struck at once. The devilish essence he had unleashed withdrew in the blink of an eye, and his aura became as calm as water.

"Soul Ignition"

The size of his soul decreased at a rapid rate while the pressure bursting forth from him became stronger and stronger, creating several fissures to appear in the space above him.

Next, he raised his hand and yelled, "Law of Strength."

"Whoosh!"

Threads of white vertical lines that were similar to the ones Davion had seen when he had devoured the saint crystal steadily emerged from the fissures and they revolved around him forming weird patterns.

Seeing this, the skeleton panicked as he sensed the horrific power contained in them. Not only that, when he tried to probe them with his Divine Sense, he suffered a terrible backlash as he was smashed to the barrier instantly.

"BAM"

"My God! What are these? My source got heavily injured and I can't seem to control my devil essence and ability." He clutched his chest and glimpsed at his slaves, who fell flat on the ground thereafter.

"Damn! I underestimated this old devil. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. But I believe that the Lord can take care of him." He eagerly turned his gaze towards the black-cloaked person that was about to walk out from the crack.

Nonetheless, he didn't notice that the expression of his Lord under the cloak was extremely ugly at the moment. He couldn't believe the opponent could reveal his cultivation at a glance.

Furthermore, the ability of the devil to forcibly condense a law rune proved how strong he was as only Saints were able to do this. As someone who had just recovered and stepped into the Venerable Stage, how can he be his match?

In addition, his law wasn't as powerful as the law of strength at present. So, having these thoughts, he decided to run away from here. He didn't want to risk getting injured one more time.

"Who could have imagined that I Judah, once a proud elder of the Heaven and Earth Sect would be reduced to such a shameful state?" Indeed, he was the same black-cloaked man who had overturned the Sect Selection Ceremony in Mulberry City upside down.

After bringing the godly talent to the Heavenly Demon Sect, he earned the favor of His Majesty straight away. Hence, with his assistance, he recuperated and reached the Venerable Stage swiftly.

Nevertheless, the problem was that he didn't comprehend his prior earth law to break through, but rather chose to become greedy and cultivate a new powerful law. Although he succeeded, he had a poor understanding of it and was way weaker than his prime.

Hence, he turned back and left, leaving the skeleton dumbfounded.

"Why?" While the skeleton's mind was in a mess, he witnessed another shocking event. Yes, the Devil ultimately made his move.

"You can't run." The devil made a grabbing motion and the law runes he made vibrated, stopping the void from closing in.

"Break." He slapped ahead, shattering the void into tiny fragments.

"Don't go too far." A pale hand was seen again as Judah was narrowly hanging in the void. If the passageway collapsed then, he would be transported to a random place with serious injuries.

There was also a high possibility of him getting lost in the void and never returning forever. It was because the laws of the world were missing in this dimension except for space. This ensured the space and the aura of heavens and earth to become exceptionally chaotic.

Only Venerable Experts, who had mastered the law of space, could shuttle through the void like fishes in the water.

"Humph!" The devil harrumphed coldly and sent a punch in his direction.

The space twirled and continued breaking apart as a heavy force crashed down upon Judah.

"You dare!" A hellish red aura abruptly exploded from Judah and the devil felt as if he had been stared at by a ferocious beast who was madly glaring at him. On top of that, his aura had reached a whole new level, surpassing many of the Venerable Warriors he had met in his life.

"Law of Wrath. One of the seven deadly sins." The Devil muttered solemnly. The one who mastered this law gets his strength from anger. The angrier the individual, the greater his strength. It is a rare and one of the strongest laws in the world that mostly Devil Saints would comprehend. It's due to the fact that one needed to fulfill certain harsh conditions just to be able to sense it. Therefore, not many were qualified.

So, how could he not be amazed by what he saw? It looked like Heavenly Demon Sect was really not simple.

"BOOM"

A destructive explosion took place as Judah tore the tiny void and met the devil's attack head-on with his palm. Powerful shock waves were spread and the barrier that was scarcely holding on eventually shattered.

"BOOM"

Another blast followed this explosion as Davion's higher-grade staff was blown up as a result.

"Splash!"

Water carrying alarming pressure shot from the pool to the ceiling of the cave, creating holes and reaching to the adobes of Sect Master Thaddeus, the elders, and the disciples of the Bone and the Devil Sect.

"What the fuck!"

"I was about to break through.."

"My bones are broken."

Disciples cried out and dashed out from their caves with fear and trepidation. They couldn't believe such a dangerous thing could happen in the sect. The same went for Thaddeus and the elders as it had never occurred in the history of the sect.

"Sect Master, what do we do?" Hendrix approached Thaddeus and inquired in a serious tone.

"It's the devil pool." Thaddeus sighed with worry written all over his face. As a Sect Master, he definitely knew some mysteries of the pool. He had heard there was still a devil sealed here.

"Eh! Is it related to the weird creatures we see inside?" Hendrix after reaching the peak stage of the Qi refining state had gone deeper down the pool and had managed to perceive some of them.
