The red thunder continued crackling on the altar while the army continued to attack the reddish brown shield.

All of a sudden black light started started shining just in front of them

"W-what is that??"

"That feels ominous..."

The soldiers started to panic seeing an unknown black light shining all of a sudden.

"Stay Calm! These are just some little tricks played by that cow--"

*RUUUUUMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBLEEEEEEEEEEE*

Before the leader could finish speaking the earth below them started shaking violently.

Huge... extremely huge walls popped out of the ground covering the entire army.

"W-w-what the...!?"

"Oh dear God..."

"What is this!?"

The walls slowly circled the entire army. It was as if putting the army in a prison.

None of them were above Spirit Realm which meant no one was able to fly.

They were all trapped within this little cage which was unsurprisingly created my Lena.

This is also one of the reasons why he bought Lena with him in the first place.

Lena is someone who specialises in defense. And also someone who practices Earth element.

So in this case, no one is better than Lena to trap them. But that was just the start.

An ominous and huge black colored formation slowly rose above the Heavenly Grotto.

"...That's beautiful." seeing the formation Lena muttered in a trance.

Black colored energy oozed out from the formation.

This formation was none other than the formation Kylo had regretted leaving in the Heavenly Grotto before going to the sanctuary.

It was because he couldn't carry the formation since this wasn't a Formation Glavier.

But the moment he came out of the Sanctuary with the Altar, he could connect with the formation inside the Heavenly Grotto once again.

But the problem was this formation couldn't be activated by normal means.

Even Primordial Energy could only activate a little bit of the formation.

The only energy that could fully activate the formation was the black qi that was now circulating around the formation.

And the black Qi was none other than Devil Qi!

This devil qi was the same devil qi that was left around Heavenly Grotto after getting mixed with Primordial Qi when he had just arrived here.

"Oh my god..."

"What is happening?"

Seeing the formation slowly floating and placing itself above the wall made the soldiers panicked even more.

"L-let's use our formation to break through this place."

One of the seven generals suggested nervously.

The leader immediately heeded the advice and ordered the army to charge the formation once again.

In the next moment they aimed at the ominous black coloured formation above their head and the leader shouted "Fire."

The yellow light fired at a very high speed. But a strange thing happened.

Instead of getting hit the yellow light passed through the black formation.

"What the!?" Not just the army even the leader was stunned seeing this.

"W-what is this evil thing!?!?" shouted the bald general in fear.

They shot at it once again but the result wasn't any different.

It was as if formation couldn't be hit by any physical attacks!

Shock, fear, nervousness, anxiety, panic and many more similar emotions could be felt from the army.

And it was then that the black formation above their head started shining even more brightly. The black light shone on the army.

Simultaneously the formation inside Kylo's soul also started shining brightly.

The {Heaven Devourer Sword} inside his dantian started vibrating at this moment.

It was then

"W-what is happening?" one of the soldiers' muttered seeing his surrounding.

Their bodies started emitting strange black which then slowly flowed inside the formation.

But that did not stop there. The black particles that entered the formation was immediately transferred to the formation inside Kylo's soul.

The formation inside Kylo's soul then divided the energy it received into three parts which were transferred to the sword, the soul and the body.

That meant Kylo would need three times the energy he would have normally needed to breakthrough any stage.

But Kylo wasn't worried about it.

With the cultivation scripture he has now, gathering energy won't be much of a problem.

[In fact what I am doing right now is no different.] Kylo's eyes shone coldly seeing the Army's state.

"W-w-wha- WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH US?!" cried one soldier in extreme pain.

The fingers of that soldier slowly started eroding.

They turned into black particles which were then transferred to the formation above their head.

"M-master what is happening?"

Gulping nervously, Lena who was standing beside Kylo asked.

"There is something I recently learnt. Everything in this universe contains energy."

Removing his hand from her waist Kylo took a step forward standing right at the edge of the reddish brown altar.

"And recently I got a cultivation technique as well."

Looking at the dangerous red thunder up in the sky fighting against the altar Kylo continued

"That scripture said 'As long as something contains energy, it could be refined.'"

"T-then those in the army are...?" Lena asked Kylo stutteringly.

Putting his hand behind his back, Kylo nodded in confirmation

"Yes, they are getting refined as well. Their cultivation levels, their blood, their flesh, everything."

"And since they are alive their vitality is also getting refined and absorbed by the formation."

"Then can't you refine if they are dead?"

"I can." Kylo nodded without looking back.

"But I won't get the vitality which is only possible only if they are refined alive."

"It seems... like they are in pain." After few seconds of silence Lena commented on the army.

Kylo once again nodded and replied to her

"They are in pain. The pain is 10 times worse than the pain they will feel when they get burnt alive."

Lena gasped in shock. Her eyes trembled a little. Getting burnt alive is one of the most painful and worst possible death!

Yet thousands of people here were screaming in pain and Kylo stood there calmly watching over them.

Squinting his eyes at the crackling thunder Kylo muttered with a smile.

"Now... the madness is about to begin."
