Kaluu had never imagined this day would come.
A grand ancient Master Sorcerer like him had actually been beaten by an avatar.
And worse, he had been chased until he had nowhere left to run.
"What the hell kind of monster is this kid?"
"How could the Ancient One train a disciple like this?"
Kaluu was extremely depressed.
Why had he never encountered such an outstanding disciple?
He narrowly avoided Karl's Sacred Sword of the Vishanti, but a large tear was sliced open in his robe.
Kaluu glanced at it and swept his hand over the wound. Powerful energy instantly sealed it shut.
Then he turned to look at Karl and shouted, "Do not push me too far!"
"And what if I do?"
"Since you came knocking on our door and plotted against Kamar-Taj yourself, do not blame me for bullying you."
Karl sneered.
The Sacred Sword of the Vishanti in his hand was flung out like a throwing blade.
"You are pushing me too far!"
"Then do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Kaluu roared. Purple energy surfaced in both of his hands.
Then he brought his hands together, and a purple beam shot toward Karl.
When the purple beam reached Karl, it suddenly expanded and formed a purple bubble.
It directly trapped Karl inside.
Karl swung his sword and slashed at it, but for a moment, he actually failed to break the thing open.
"Interesting. Very interesting energy."
"This shouldn't be energy that belongs to this world, right?"
Karl looked up and spoke.
Kaluu had no intention of answering him at all.
His body flickered, and he immediately prepared to flee.
Bang!
Kaluu slammed directly into some kind of barrier and was bounced back.
"The Mirror Dimension!"
"When did this happen?"
Kaluu's face was full of shock.
He recognized the Mirror Dimension.
But he absolutely could not pull a powerhouse of the same level into a separate space without the enemy noticing.
That meant Karl's understanding of the Law of Space had reached an astonishing level.
Nothing else needed to be said.
His level was definitely above Kaluu's.
Seeing that Karl had already begun destroying his restraint, Kaluu gritted his teeth.
His entire right hand instantly turned purple, glowing with a faint radiance.
A trace of pain appeared on his face as he clawed forward.
The spatial barrier was actually torn open just like that.
Without another word, Kaluu immediately drilled into it.
"What kind of power is this?"
"This world actually has a power like this?"
"How rare."
Karl effortlessly tore apart the purple energy in front of him.
With a beckoning motion, that purple energy appeared in his hand, and he observed it carefully.
[Ding!]
[Detected that the host is analyzing Void Energy. God-Tier Talent has triggered a hundredfold critical strike.]
[You have mastered the Void Law.]
[Your inner universe has strengthened.]
Karl felt a kind of profound and mysterious information flood into his mind.
The Void Law.
It was a mixed law.
It was a subtype formed from the combination of the Law of Space and the Law of Devouring.
A certain powerful being had once possessed the foundation of a Celestial-Realm Law while also being able to derive the Law of Devouring.
Karl could not help feeling amazed by that person's talent.
He had actually created a path of his own.
Most people walked along existing paths. Very few people ever thought of opening a new path for themselves.
It was like the path of the blade.
At the very beginning, what blade arts were there?
That weapon had originally evolved from earlier blades created by humanity. Only later did it gradually develop.
After powerful beings infused their own wills into it, the so-called path of the blade came into being.
The Path of the Void was the same.
It came from a certain powerful being.
Karl was somewhat curious. He wanted to see what the one acknowledged as the Lord of the Void had obtained.
Without any hesitation, this avatar of his slowly dispersed.
At the same time, the main body in outer space revealed a brilliant smile.
Before Karl could speak, purple light flashed.
Kaluu crawled out of a spatial rift in an extremely miserable state.
"Hurry up and help!"
Kaluu spread out his mental force.
Then he saw Mephisto and Shuma-Gorath, both of whom looked even more battered than he did.
The air suddenly went silent.
The three fellow sufferers looked at one another.
At the same time, each of their faces revealed an awkward but polite smile.
"What a coincidence. You got beaten too?"
Kaluu spoke with extreme embarrassment.
Mephisto and Shuma-Gorath exchanged a glance.
"Weren't you supposed to shut down the Sanctums?"
"Why are you here?"
Mephisto asked.
"Look at me. Do you still not understand?"
"If I had not run fast enough, I might not have escaped at all."
Kaluu snapped angrily.
The three of them looked at Karl at the same time.
"You knew from the start."
"You have been playing with us this entire time!"
Mephisto spoke with an extremely ferocious expression.
"What kind of statement is that?"
"How can this be called playing with you? I merely wanted to exchange a few pointers."
"You could not withstand the beating. How can you blame me?"
Karl spread his hands and spoke with a very helpless expression.
Hearing Karl's infuriating tone, the veins on Mephisto's forehead bulged.
However, Mephisto was worthy of being a cunning veteran Hell Lord. His eyes shifted slightly.
"There are three of us now, and you still dare to act so arrogant in front of us?"
"Tch."
"The three of you together are less threatening to me than one person alone."
"Three people with their own hidden agendas—do you really think you can threaten me?"
Karl spoke with disdain.
These three guys were only allies on the surface.
They suspected each other and guarded against each other.
They were even more wary of their own teammates than they were of Karl.
With three people like this, what right did they have to threaten him?
Hearing Karl's words, Mephisto and the others looked at one another.
"Stop holding back. Show some real ability."
"If we do not take this guy down, forget our objective. We may even leave our lives here."
Mephisto spoke.
"That is right. We have no other option."
"Otherwise, this guy may defeat us one by one."
Kaluu also spoke.
All three of them nodded in agreement.
Yet none of them was willing to truly make a move.
All three were cunning veterans. None of them believed in fair exchange.
Compared to Karl, they were even more guarded against their own teammates.
"Since none of you are going to move…"
"Then I will make the first move."
Karl flicked a finger.
The space beside him shattered directly.
Karl reached out and pulled.
Spatial fragments interwove and fused, directly forming a transparent blade in his hand.
Rift-Cleaving Blade!
A razor-sharp and dangerous aura radiated from that blade.
The moment it was drawn out, Kaluu felt waves of danger.
It was as though someone had pressed a knife against his back.
Karl gave a brilliant smile.
His figure suddenly vanished.
For a moment, all three of them vanished at the same time.
