"These people are in the Awakened Realm, but thankfully, cultivation is limited here. It won't be easy, so you have to be careful," Azael spoke to Oasis.
"This kid just commanded me," Prince Aelric thought.
"Who are they? Are they going to get themselves killed?" a few of the remaining cultivators wondered.
Azael approached them along with Oasis.
"I assume you are here for the Grimoire of Space," Azael asked, getting straight to the point with his deep voice.
"So you know about the Grimoire of Space, which means you also know about the other treasures," Shiro responded.
"I don't care about the other treasures. No one will be taking the Grimoire of Space, so I advise you seniors to leave," Azael said firmly.
"Then we won't have a choice but to kill you as well," Shiro replied.
At this time, Kagame's sword was still activated, radiating dark red mana.
"Do you think you are capable of doing that?" Azael asked them.
"Your cultivation is already unstable since you are all in the Awakened Realm, but this place is limiting your power," Azael said.
"This youngster has guts," Shiro smirked.
"We don't want to be enemies of the Starfall Consortium," Oasis spoke up.
"Only a month remains until this place ejects us all, and you have already failed your mission."
"I'm sure you don't have any of the great treasures, so it's better to just leave," Oasis continued.
!!!
Oasis's words lingered with the six of them, putting them on alert.
"Kid, how do you know our mission and our identities, huh?" Shiro asked.
"Did this kid kill the others? Impossible," Shiro thought.
"That doesn't matter, but don't waste your lives," Oasis said.
"Bastard, this kid, I will kill you right away!" Kagame roared.
"Bloodsword Technique, First Form: Death Slash," Kagame shouted, unleashing his technique towards Oasis and Azael.
"Dancing Phoenix," Oasis and Azael said in unison.
Oasis and Azael displaced simultaneously, leaving their mirages behind.
In an instant, Oasis was in front of Kagame, and Azael was in front of Shiro.
The ground trembled as Kagame's Death Slash collided with the empty space where Oasis and Azael had been.
The force of the attack shattered the surrounding area, sending debris flying and causing the remaining cultivators to shield themselves.
"Impossible!" Shiro exclaimed, as Azael's sudden appearance startled him.
Kagame's eyes widened in shock as Oasis's calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the fierce energy radiating from his sword.
"You underestimated us," Oasis said quietly, his voice carrying a chilling edge.
Before Kagame could react, Oasis struck with lightning speed on his head with a kick, sending him flying hitting the array that bounced him down the ground.
"You were saying something about killing us?" Oasis asked, his tone icy.
Meanwhile, Azael faced Shiro, his aura radiating confidence and power.
"Your cultivation may be higher, but it's unstable here. You won't win."
Shiro's smirk faltered as he realized the depth of Azael's insight.
"This kid is stronger than the wolf brat," he thought.
The other four cultivators slightly jumped back, sensing the danger.
Oasis drew his sword without wasting time, unleashing his mana. The place began heating up, the temperature rising rapidly.
At the same time, Azael did the same, causing ripples of mana to radiate outward.
The air shimmered with intense heat, and the ground beneath them cracked from the pressure.
"'Kaze no Kagutsuchi', it's time," Oasis declared.
Simultaneously, Azael's mana was even more oppressive than Oasis's.
"Kairos, take care of those four," he commanded.
Azael unleashed Kairos, a majestic phoenix of brilliant flames.
The creature emerged with a burst of fiery energy, its wings spreading wide as it soared into the sky.
The heat from Kairos was overwhelming, creating waves of heat that distorted the air around it.
!!!
"A phoenix!" Shiro thought in disbelief.
"Kagame! Put your sword away. We are leaving now," Shiro roared.
The six of them unleashed their seals, and their cultivation levels rose back to their original heights.
The air crackled with energy as their power surged.
In an instant, the six cultivators shimmered and disappeared as Tir na Nog rejected them, ejecting them from its domain.
The remaining people around the temple were stunned and terrified by the sight of the phoenix and the oppressive energy radiating from it.
Everyone retreated from the main temple, leaving only Oasis and his companions.
Kairos, in its full, awe-inspiring size, was visible even from afar, perched majestically on top of the temple.
Its fiery plumage illuminated the area, and the immense heat and power it radiated deterred anyone from approaching.
The sight of the phoenix alone was enough to keep all but the bravest at bay.
After the scene settled, Oasis instructed his companions to go hunting for other treasures while he and Azael remained on guard at the temple.
Despite the chaotic events, Oasis's companions stayed behind, choosing to cultivate and make the most of their time in Tir na Nog.
The rest of the cultivators, having moved far away from the temple, avoided the area entirely.
Juzo's group, who had been hiding during the commotion, did not dare to approach the temple.
The overwhelming display of power had made it clear that any attempt to get close would be futile and potentially deadly.
The area around the temple was left eerily quiet, the tension from earlier now replaced by a cautious stillness.
For the remainder of the time, most of the cultivators, especially those on the main island, were eager to return home.
Many had already fled from the main island, which had become notorious among them as the 'Death Zone.'
As the last day at Tir na Nog arrived, Oasis, Aya, and Azael bid their goodbyes.
They exchanged their farewells with the few companions who had stayed behind and prepared for their departure.
The atmosphere was a mix of relief and anticipation, as the time to leave the perilous domain approached.
Finally, the moment came when they were teleported back to their original locations.
Tir na Nog, having fulfilled its role as a battleground and testing ground, closed its doors shortly after their departure.
The once-mystical realm returned to its dormant state, its secrets and treasures now a part of the past.
