Anthony and other disciples jumped into the Abyssal Maw, finding their flight abilities restricted. They were then transported to a dark world with a dim sun and black clouds, landing on a poisonous ocean. A powerful beast attacked Anthony, but he easily defeated it, shattering its body with a single punch.

As the flesh, bones, and blood poured into the water, various monsters and beasts immediately shot upward from the water’s surface as though attracted by the smell of the blood and flesh. Sharks immediately dove for the flesh, Whales dove at the head and huge chunks of body parts, and within seconds, they devoured it all.

Anthony simply said nothing; he just watched.

Within the Hellinder Realm, monsters were simply ranked from Rank 1 to Rank 15, with each monster possessed different strength based on bloodline inheritance, Laws and the likes.

And the monsters below at the moment were Rank 7, which was equivalent to Firmament Rank.

As the four monsters were done eating, their eyes snapped towards Anthony. They had eaten a dead comrade, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy them. And since this unknown species that was floating in the air had killed their comrade, it meant they would gain much from devouring him whole.

The two Whales didn’t wait, they simply acted, their voices echoing through the ocean as, the next moment, water from the ocean shot upward, forming an upward spiral slide. They immediately shot upward, swimming into the air and through the upward spiral water slide as they chased towards Anthony, their speed swift.

One closed in from the left, the other from the right.

Anthony smirked, his fingers rising dramatically as he snapped his fingers, the moment he did, Embodiment stage Law Of Water hummed through the sky itself as the sky seemed to turn blue to match a true ocean.

The next moment, from the spiral slide, water spikes shot out in tens, each instantly impaling the Whales, although their bodies were tough, it was useless, as flesh simply gave way, each spike tearing through the opposite side. Their enormous bodies struggled against the spikes, causing waves to surge violently around them as their tails thrashed helplessly.

OOOOOO!!!!! OOOOO!!!! OOOOOO!!!!! OOOOO!!!!

The two Whales immediately unleashed a deep moaning sound as they cried in pain. But Anthony didn’t care, he had already taken control over water that was originally theirs, showing the difference in Law comprehension.

He snapped his fingers again, and the next moment Law Of Water transformed into Law Of Ice, as the upward water spiral instantly turned pure white, spreading from the top of the spiral to the bottom, which was connected to the ocean, freezing the Whales, transforming both of them into blocks of ice.

With a final snap of his finger, the ice shattered into unshaped shards that burst everywhere and fell into the ocean. But the moment the blocks shattered, the two Sharks below made their own move.

Their figures appeared beside Anthony in a flash. Anthony arched an eyebrow as Law Of Space told him these two sharks had teleported to his side, but by teleporting towards water droplets, which was one of their innate abilities.

The moment they appeared, their teeth-filled maws opened as they unleashed a staggering one thousand decibels of pure sound wave, the attack screeching through the air and slamming into Anthony.

Anthony couldn’t help but marvel at the attack, unleashing such a level of sound was enough to tear through the Acarnis Galaxy and even shatter it completely, all because of the power of Laws. Such power was wielded by a mere monster.

The sound wave also caused the ocean beneath Anthony to tremble violently, but Infinity remained completely unmoved. He simply vanished from where he stood, his figure appearing above the first shark, the moment he did, the shark vanished as it sensed danger, escaping with its teleportation ability.

Anthony’s eyes snapped towards the second monster, but it also vanished, as it also appeared within the ocean. But he simply smirked as the Law Of Water and Ice humming around him vanished as Law Of Blood manifested. The sky bled red as Anthony tapped into the power.

Both sharks immediately made a run for it as they dove into the ocean without a shred of hesitation, but it was already too late. The blood in their bodies froze in their veins, hence halting their escape, their eyes flashed with terror, their greed had gotten the better of them.

With a thought from Anthony, their bodies were lifted gently from the dark ocean. He stretched out a finger, and with that Law Of Blood responded as every single drop of blood in their bodies began to flow out. It didn’t matter whether it was oxygenated blood or not, it didn’t matter whether it was in their brain or heart, blood flowed from every organ and into the dimly lit dark sky.

The sharks’ bodies paled, their gray and white bodies paling in real time as the life in their eyes vanished ever so slowly. And with that, they died as their organs collapsed in totality. Anthony stared at their corpses for a moment then threw them into the water like trash, his sky-blue eyes shifting towards the blood that floated in the air, with a thought, it vanished into oblivion.

’I guess that’s my first Monster fight since ascension,’ he thought to himself as he floated downwards with gentle ease. With the death of his enemies, he could finally hear himself think... well, not that he needed their deaths to do that.

Anthony raised his left hand as he stared at the golden, thin thread around his wrist that scattered into ten different directions.

’So at the end of the day, none of us landed in the same area or at the exact same location,’ he mused as the Slumbering Storm’s artefact had failed, which was understandable, and she had warned them that it might fail.

’At least the second function that allows us to track each other to know each other’s location works... although if my arm is severed, the thread becomes useless from that point,’ he reasoned.

Although he knew the disciple could still just pick up the severed arm and follow the thread.

Anthony didn’t bother following any threads, he simply looked around as he analyzed the situation. The ocean seemed endless in span, it wasn’t an illusion, it was real. The air was poisonous to breathe, clothes even decayed too, one couldn’t simply run forever, hence making all conditions harsh for survival.

Anthony’s eyes shifted towards the ocean. He had fought a few of these water creatures, and he could tell they hadn’t adapted to the poison, but they didn’t breathe air, so it didn’t affect them much.

And if they weren’t adapted to the poison, didn’t that mean the ocean itself was the safe net here?

Although it was a mad idea, a dangerous one at that as no one knew what lay beneath this dark ocean, its color alone was enough to tell anyone that was a bad idea, but Anthony was sure that inside the ocean itself was where whatever was supposed to happen would happen.

With that conclusion, he willed himself to plunge as he stopped standing upon the surface, he didn’t use any Laws as he simply allowed himself to sink downwards, the dark ocean consuming him whole. After all, what was the worst that could happen?
