Thanks to the limitation of this chaotic space, the creatures couldn't have combat power above Semi-Divinity Realm. Thanks to that, the cultivators and demon beasts were able to react in time. However, there were only fourteen of them counting both groups. On the other hand, it seemed like over a hundred of the Space Creatures came out together.

Illia saw several of them coming inside her Blue Lotus Domain. She was already having a hard time dodging only Krune's attacks, so it got even worse with the Space Creatures intervention. The good thing for her was that the creatures weren't as strong as the purple blades from Krune's shields.

Krune also retracted another 10 shields to help protect himself. Now he had only 62 kept destroying the Big Blue Lotus Petals.

Krune looked in the distance and could see the fights happening. Other than him and Illia, only Iem seemed to be still fighting his opponent. The rest had given up and were defending against the creatures' attacks. Well, Iem seemed to be having a lot of fun in this situation, though.

In the end, Illia gritted her teeth and issued the order.

"Retreat!"

She had other cards to play, but with the Space Creatures intervening, the attack wouldn't have the same effect. Even if they are able to kill someone from Krune's group, they might have to pay an even price for that. It was evident that the plan had utterly failed.

'No, the plan went out of the rails at the moment this guy took all Top Quality Godly Stones in just a few seconds. I do have other tricks to use, but it doesn't seem like he played all his cards either. Besides, until now, this rainbow-haired guy hasn't released his Domain even once. Although I'm very confident in my Domain's power, I'm not sure if I could totally suppress his one. Not to mention that the disruptive abilities of my Domain seem to not have any effect on him.'

Illia then looked in the distance and could see that the other Divine View Realm guy was as strong as the one she was fighting. Not only that, but he didn't stop attacking her team member even after the space creatures appeared. Without a doubt, those two guys are freaks! Their combat power is an entire realm above their cultivations.

With Illia's orders, everyone joined in a formation and repulsed the space creatures away. Illia also did the same and left Krune behind.

Seeing the Flower River Sect retreating, Sisan didn't dare to waste time with all the creatures here. The only reason they are still alive is that these creatures don't have intelligence. Thanks to that, it was quite easy to predict their attacks, especially after they joined in a combat formation.

"Let's leave too."

Iem looked at the enemy retreating in the distance and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. But he still followed Sisan's orders and joined the combat formation too.

He wasn't the only one. Krune still hasn't finished testing his Tribulation Shields Slaughter Formation. Unfortunately, Illia was an entire Realm above him. The difference in cultivation would have made it too hard for him to hold Illia back.

'I guess I can only test the rest next time.'

Sisan didn't care about what happened at the moment. He took the center of the formation and shouted out.

"Charge!"

Everyone's Godly Energies gathered together, and they broke through the creatures' encirclement by force. The guys on the rear of the formation kept sending skills behind, delaying the enemies. The rest helped to fend off any frontal attacks and put the rest of their energy into speed. Finally, the space creatures began to fall behind, quickly disappearing in the distance.

Both teams left from the same path they came from, so they obviously exited the chaotic space from two different sides.

When Krune's group left the chaotic space, they were greeted by Jimage, Rui, and Xanala. However, those three seemed to be quite tired too. It was evident that the battles didn't happen only inside, but outside as well.

"Senior Jimage, we found the Flower River Sect inside."

Jimage nodded.

"We fought their Divinity Realm members as well. They seemed to want to hold us back. Probably, it was to cover the retreat for their group."

Jimage then looked at everyone and was relieved that they were all alive. Some of their members seemed to be injured, but it wouldn't be too troublesome to heal with enough pills.

"You came out a lot faster than I expected. The removal of Top Quality Godly Stones should have taken at least one hour, which obviously didn't happen. It seems like we didn't get any this time, right? Well, at least the Flower River Sect probably didn't take it either."

Sisan was taken aback, and only now did he remember what Krune did.

"Well, about that..."

Sisan glanced at Krune and then explained what happened in the chaotic space. Obviously, Jimage thought that Sisan was joking with him. How could a Divini View Realm take the Top Quality Godly Stones away that easily? However, when Krune brought out seven Godly Stones, Jimage could only believe him.

"How's that possible..."

Krune scratched the back of his head when suddenly, an idea popped in his head.

"Well, now you know why the Sect sent me with you even though I'm at the Divine View Realm."

But that wasn't all. Jimage noticed that neither Krune nor Iem seemed to be injured. Sisan then explained that they also fought against members of the Flower River Sect, but they didn't fall at a disadvantage at all! In fact, they both held the upper hand in their fights! How much of a freak must those two be to do that?

In the end, Jimage could only sigh.

"Indeed... The sect wouldn't do something as idiotic as sending dead weight in this exploration. I apologize for my behavior before. I should have trusted the sect elders' decisions."

Krune smiled bitterly after hearing that. He was obviously lying to Jimage. Even the Sect Master didn't believe that Krune and Iem would be of much help inside. It was only because of Tulike that they were even able to approach this place. Of course, neither Krune nor Iem would tell the truth.

Iem also understood what Krune was trying to do and laughed out loud.

"It's okay. We knew that telling you what we could do would be useless, so we just waited for an opportunity to show you first hand. Anyway, we should go. I doubt the Flower River Sect expected what happened, so they won't attack us straight away."

Jimage and everyone else agreed with Iem. It was evident that the Flower River Sect had set up a trap for them. Still, they failed miserably to accomplish their objective. One doesn't need to be a genius to know that the enemy counted on Krune and Iem's weak cultivation and the Godly Stones' removal time. Too bad, though. It was all for nothing.

They didn't waste too much time talking and immediately left. At the same time, Iem looked behind to the chaotic space and smiled playfully. He then turned his gaze away and followed everyone.

Back on the Flower River Sect Group side, Illia had already gathered with Pharan and the other two Divinity Realm members.

However, as soon as they joined together, one member of Illia's group coughed out black blood and fell on the ground, unconscious.

"What?!"

Everyone was taken aback by that, even Illia herself.

Pharan quickly appeared on his side and sent his Godly Energy into his body. His Divine Sense also entered it and checked his companion's condition. After looking at him for a while, Pharan's expression turned dark.

"There is some kind of black energy running through his body, destroying everything. Give me some healing pills."

Pharan forced the pills down the guy's throat and used his Godly Energy to disseminate the pill's effect in his body. Due to his much higher cultivation, he was able to neutralize the black energy with the pills' help, quickly driving it out. The guy then coughed several other mouthfuls of black blood after that.

Pharan kept driving his Godly Energy inside the guy's body for a while when finally, he woke up. However...

"The danger is gone, Ralpha. However, your cultivation base has been damaged. Quite a few of your meridians got in the same situation."

Ralpha quickly checked his body, and his complexion changed straight away. His Peak Semi-Divinity Realm cultivation has dropped to the 2nd Stage. The damaged meridians were in such bad shape that it will be hard to get them fully healed in the future too. Other than that, his Dantian seemed to have been scourged in a few places, making Godly Energy escape without stopping. At the moment, he could prevent his cultivation from dropping. Still, Ralpha definitely wouldn't be able to fight anytime soon in that condition. If he did, he would need to use a lot of energy, which his body simply can't recover with the damaged meridians and foundation.

"Ralpha, wasn't you fighting that Divine View Realm guy? How did you end in this state?"

Ralpha remembered their fight and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.

"That guy is a monster. His body seemed to be indestructible. He also had some kind of black flames all over his body. Remember, do not touch those black flames, or you will probably end up like me."

Sure enough, Iem had left a small gift behind before the battle was over.
