Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flashes of divine light continuously impacted the Primal Sovereign's body, deepening his already grievous wounds. From above, a booming voice directed the battle.

"Cloudless, Phaseshift, attack the right flank together! Goddess, sever the tail!"

The one currently speaking was the Wind Monarch of Mirrorbloom. Although his combat strength wasn't the highest, he had an acute ability to read the flow of battle, making him a fearsome commander.

Although Tian Yang would've usually been the one to take this role, he was currently occupied with a far more important task.

OOOOOOH!

A heavy bellow left the Primal Sovereign's mouth. His massive tusks shone with blinding light, letting loose destructive blasts of Spatial Essence that converged at a single location, a place covered by his own forcefield.

Here, Tian Yang was desperately working with everything he had to close the spatial fissure that was providing the Primal Sovereign power. He already achieved partial success, but under the constant barrage of attacks from his enemy, Tian Yang wasn't able to completely focus on his task.

At this moment, three Demigods flew up in tandem to meet the terrifying blasts. Their mana raged, transforming into multiple law threads that converged into a beautiful defensive wall. The concepts within this wall were vast and mighty, making it emit an ancient aura as a byproduct.

BANG!

The spatial essence clashed against this wall fiercely, tearing apart its foundation. But even then, the wall was too thick. This attack alone couldn't break it.

Still, the Primal Sovereign didn't stop wantonly sending out blasts of Spatial Essence. Even in the God Ensnaring Formation as a whole, an enormous pressure was blanketing all things, making it difficult for those present to summon their entire strength.

BOOOOOOM!

A great axe spanning thousands of kilometers appeared at the base of the Primal Sovereign's tail. It cleaved through space, impacting the tail with its greatest strength!

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out as the two forces made impact, but the standstill between them only lasted an instant. Through constant harassment, the tail's defenses had already been broken down.

The axe cleaved through the tail in a single swoop. Blood sprayed out as the massive tail fell heavily to the bottom of the God Ensnaring Formation!

This was more than just good news. The tail's penetrative power wasn't something to joke about. Even though the Primal Sovereign didn't use it much in this enclosed space, it was still a severe threat.

Besides, this was the greatest blow they'd been able to inflict on the Primal Sovereign, and even then, it'd been done at the cost of the Blood Emperor and his two companions' lives…

The Cloudless Monarch and Phaseshift Sovereign's attacks landed in that moment, causing spurts of blood to spray from the beast's two hind legs.

But even with all the damage being done to his physical body, the Primal Sovereign didn't turn his attention away from Tian Yang. To him, protecting his connection with space was the most important matter.

Still, the Primal Sovereign was fighting recklessly to say the least. Even with his extreme power level, he would eventually run out of mana and exhaust his mortal body.

However, before that happened…

At this moment, there was a slight ripple in the God Ensnaring Formation. It went unseen within the chaos, but the Primal Sovereign would die before he missed it. This was his cue!

Damien's body surfaced in the God Ensnaring Formation, standing above the area the God Killing Array's blood fog once populated.

Before he could even witness the ongoing collision, he felt an extreme suction force lock onto his body!

The Primal Sovereign's trunk was raised for the first time since the battle began. Although this movement alone didn't signify anything…

A frightening essence revolved when the Primal Sovereign took this action, initiating the suction force Damien was currently feeling!

This essence…wasn't something that just anyone could use. At the same time, it wasn't a devouring power similar to Damien's.

No, this was the devouring power possessed by a Heaven-Swallowing Beast! The Fifth Primal Sovereign had somehow acquired this trait for himself, and now that he'd reached a critical juncture, he displayed it in full force!

Damien didn't have any chance of resisting this force. As for the surrounding Demigods, they'd barely noticed his presence, so how could they aid him?

However, it was different for Tian Yang. He was especially sensitive to Damien's aura after spending so much time with him, and now seeing that suction force envelop him, Tian Yang felt his heart drop.

Anything else could be taken from him. His strength, his status, at the end of the day, these things were material. Above all else, there were two things he cherished: the sect he grew up in, and the two disciples he'd taken as his own.

If anything happened to Damien, he didn't deserve to live!

But just as he was about to move to rescue his disciple, a mental transmission fell upon his ears.

"Geezer, focus on what you need to do! Just remember one thing: when the time comes, grab onto me and don't let go!"

Damien's voice was filled with icy determination. From the moment he became unable to resist the Call of the Void, he'd been planning for how to survive.

Against Demigods who wanted to kill him, keeping his life was impossible. Even against those who wanted to consume him, his chances of survival were infinitesimal.

However, against a Primal Sovereign that had been wounded to the point of nearing death…he had a bit more confidence.

Only, he had no way of dealing with the aftermath. And even if he succeeded, it was almost certain that he'd be incapacitated for a period of time afterwards.

Yet, Damien took all this in stride. Looking at the surroundings, a number of Demigods had already perished. Their deaths were major losses to the Human Domain, and each and every one was his fault.

He drew Wrath to the Human Domain, he drew the Fifth Primal Sovereign in the same way. If he couldn't shoulder the consequences of his existence, he didn't deserve to bear the responsibilities his existence placed on him.

Damien no longer waited for the suction force to slowly consume him. His mana flared into the surroundings, galvanizing his speed and blasting him into the Primal Sovereign's grasp like a comet!

The Primal Sovereign's eyes twinkled with an amused light as he saw this. Could it be that this boy actually believed he had a chance at resistance? Or was he simply accepting his death in stride? Regardless, the Primal Sovereign didn't take his actions too seriously.

His mouth opened like a gaping black hole, revealing the abyss within. And only a second later, Damien flew in.

This event was tiny in the grand scheme of things. From the moment Damien appeared to the moment he was swallowed, only a single second passed.

Among the Demigods, only a few noticed this interlude, and even among them, only Tian Yang understood the implications.

He could only trust his disciple. Until now, Damien had produced plenty of miracles. Never once did he disappoint Tian Yang's expectations.

While the current circumstance was far more harrowing than anything that'd taken place in the past, Tian Yang still trusted his disciple.

This was a fighter he'd raised! Whether it was facing someone at the same level or even a True God, he would never back down!

And as his master, Tian Yang once again found himself playing a supporting role...

To make sure that while Damien put his everything on the line, nobody would be able to hinder his path.
