~WHOOSH~
Sköll's head suddenly swung as the 1-foot wide fireball was sent hurtling towards the dozen or so 500 feet long duct beasts.
~BBZZZZZ~
The ball was extremely quick and seemed to burn the space itself, appearing in the centre of the dozen 500 feet aquatic beasts. Next, it began to expand as a terrifying heat exploded.
The water around was immediately bubbled and created a giant whirlpool with the fireball at its centre.
The dozen duct beasts were caught in the range of the frightening suction force. They struggled frantically as energy surged out, but were unable to free themselves. All they could do was watch helplessly as they were pulled closer and closer to the ball, before ultimately touching it.
~PHHIISSE~
At the instant of contact, wails of despair exploded from the duct beasts as their enormous bodies began to burn at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, ultimately transforming into ash as they were mixed with the water, wiped clean from existence by its pure scorching pyre.
In the short span of a few seconds, a dozen duct beasts comparable to 4th-level Core Formation experts had vanished, leaving only a dozen fist-sized Duct Creation Energy crystals floating in the water around the fireball.

How powerful this attack was, would he survive an attack of such calibre? Just how much strength did one need to achieve this feat?
Ezra gave an odd look to the shrinking Sköll. Just what is the tier of these little fellows? To think that it would be so powerful.
Sköll sensed Ezra's stunned gaze, causing a pleased look to rise in its eyes. It leapt onto his shoulder and extended a paw, pointing towards the floating Duct Creation Energy crystals, clearly indicating for him to go collect their battle spoils.
The prince smiled and swam forward, his eyes burning with excitement as he kept the dozen fist-sized Duct Creation Energy crystals.
Just these dozen crystals alone should be enough for him to reach the 5 paths of Ablution. The prince gazed at the distance and moved again.

A herd of enormous duct beasts hissed in the reservoir as berserk undulations unfurled, creating enormous waves.
At this current moment, 3 glowing figures were shooting through the pack, duct beast after beast exploding wherever they passed.
The 3 glowing figures were naturally Ezra Zephyr, Sköll and Hati.
Ezra decided that he should conceal his strength and let his contracted martial animals fight because no one knew what would happen if a martial animal enter the Mountain Duct, that's why nobody warned Ezra despite seeing him carrying two martial animals. He could fabricate a story that duct beasts were astonishingly vulnerable against martial animals.
Ezra no longer had anything to fear. He boldly advanced, drawing numerous duct beasts to them. However, the ultimate outcome that awaited all of the duct beasts was being turned into Duct Creation Energy crystals, before being split between Ezra and sons of Fenrir.
The intense battle was over in a short few minutes. Ezra swiftly swept the battlefield, collecting another few dozen crystals that were of pretty high quality.
"Not bad." The prince was full of praise. He already had more than enough crystals to achieve 6 paths of Ablution, but it was still not sufficient to reach 7 paths. According to Mubarak, the 7 paths of Ablution were no longer an issue of numbers. Instead, the Duct Creation Energy crystal of a 700 feet aquatic beast was required as a primer of sorts.
In the face of such an entity, most of the diamond belt disciples could only retreat.
However, this was not really a problem for Ezra, because there were two existences at his side that were even more terrifying than the 700 feet duct beasts.
"But it's not easy to find a 700 feet duct beast. We've yet to meet a single one…" Mumbled the prince.
While he was mumbling, the battle-mode cubs beside him suddenly released a low growl.
Ezra abruptly lowered his head in alarm, looking towards the deep darkness of the energy reservoir.
The waters there suddenly began to churn, as if a giant wave was rapidly approaching. Next, Ezra saw a titan of a duct beast slowly rise from the darkness.
Its size had exceeded 700 feet, reaching a total of 800 feet!
The prince could not help but smile as he gazed upon the giant creature, before slowly backing away as he said with a solemn face, "Hati, go and get it!"

"Whao! What's with these waves?"
"Someone must be fighting a strong duct beast, let's go and check."
"Shut up, do you want to die? Look at the waves, it must be one of the top rankers. Focus on your harvest and prevent yourself from meaningless death."
"He is right, ever heard of the phrase 'Curiosity killed the cat!' Be smart."
A group of disciples talked before they vanished from sight.
In the depth of the reservoir, water heaved and churned as waves of berserk spiritual energy pulsed violently. It was as if something had torn through the water in a 10,000 feet radius, leaving a giant gaping hole that immediately began filling the surrounding water, creating a giant whirlpool.
Ezra Zephyr stood far away, watching the imminent battle with interest.
It was going to be a clash between Hati and the 800 feet aquatic beast. But… it was not a battle to be more precise, Hati was simply playing with an 800 feet duct beast.
Normally speaking, a duct beast that had reached such lengths would be an object of extreme terror to even 7th-level Core Formation disciples, disciples that were basically qualified to contest for outer mountain ranking.
However, a duct beast with such strength was currently in an exceedingly sorry state, because it had encountered an existence even more terrifying than itself today.
Hati was nowhere near as big as the 800 feet beast, but the duct beast was thoroughly suppressed at every clash, barely able to put up any resistance. Moreover, it was obvious that Hati was toying with it.
"Hurry up, Hati!... tsk." Ezra clicked his tongue. The outcome of the fight was already clear from the get-go, he knew that Hati was just enjoying his prey, a common play of top predators.
