Death… And Me

Chapter 2600  To The Bottom

Following that decision, the crowd dispersed. Demon beasts went back to the Demon Beastsʼ territories while the people stayed in the system sect. Rean and Roan didnʼt waste time. They left the Dimensional Realm and left Qia and Calina in the system sect of the Dragon Race. Naturally, Fay and Alen were also left with Qia and Calina.

By now, both sects had already exchanged numbers and would be able to communicate as long as the twins were within the communication system range. Rean then prepared to leave with Roan when suddenly, Fay asked him to wait.

”Dad...” Fay seemed somewhat struggling to talk.

Rean, on the other hand, just smiled. ”Is it about everything you found out about Roan and me? About our objective?”

Fay nodded slightly. After spending so long with everyone in the Dimensional Realm, she had little doubt the twins were truly on a journey to save the Universe. It wasnʼt wrong to say they were on a journey to save her life and her motherʼs, too. ”I... Iʼm sorry...”

Rean then pulled her over, giving Faya a hug, something that the previous Fay absolutely wouldnʼt let happen. Yet now... She also hugged back. ”Good luck. Iʼm sure... you will convince that turtle...”

Rean nodded and turned around to leave. Roan, obviously, did the same, which made Rean curious. ʼHow were things with that lazy kid?ʼ He was asking about Alen.

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment. ʼEven though he now knows the whole truth, that only made him more scared than he usually is. But...ʼ Roan then remembered that Alenʼs expression seemed to have changed once he understood that even Calina would die if they failed to save the Universe. ʼHe should be fine... I think.ʼ

Rean smiled after hearing that. ʼThatʼs good to know.ʼ

The twins exited the Dragon Race, not being barred by any of the Dragons. Right after, a Spatial Gate opened, and the twins disappeared inside. Back in the Dragon Race, a red-colored Dragon looked at Frasco, the Dragon in charge at the moment. ”Is it really okay to let them go?”

Frasco sighed in response. ”Do you think I want it? However, Placake already sent a message back saying that we should follow our Semi-Celestial orders. Seems like Gragatou paid a good price to convince him.”

The red dragon nodded and didnʼt say anything else.

The twins didnʼt try to go around the Realm of Gods. Hyeoumu was just way too big. Even if they used Spatial Gates one after another, it would take years to do that and finally arrive in front of that big eye they saw before. That said, they only had one choice... ”Seems like we need to go down the Continental Barrier once again.”

One must not forget about the Flash Beasts that exist in the Continental Barrier Depths. They only succeeded in avoiding them because they used one of the crystals, which pulled them faster than the Flash Beasts could pursue.

Roan agreed with Rean. ”There is no point selecting any specific region. Letʼs just go to the closest appearance and dive down.”

Fortunately, it didnʼt take more than one hour for them to find a good enough place and throw themselves inside. This time, they brought Kentucky out since it wasnʼt possible to use Spatial Gates inside the Continental Barrier Depths. Kentucky was still the fastest between them, after all.

”How is it, Kentucky? Have you recovered your bloodline?” Rean remembered the bloodline Kentucky used back in the Heavens.

”Itʼs fine. I had many months to focus on it,” Kentucky quickly answered. ”Celis also didnʼt complain when I used Divine Origin Energy Cores to speed up the process.”

”Thatʼs surprising,” Rean couldnʼt help but note. Everyone knows how Celis hates to waste those cores.

Roan wasnʼt in the mood for conversation, though. ”Focus on flying straight down. We need to reach the bottom much faster than the last time.”

”Alright!” Kentucky immediately flapped his wings and dove down. Rean kept illuminating the path ahead since Divine Energy and Natural Spatial Perception were also disrupted here. This time, because they knew exactly what to expect, Kentucky only took one hour to cross the threshold separating the Flash Beastsʼ Territory and the upper layers. *Roar!*

Sure enough, a Flash Beast appeared just a few minutes later. It wasnʼt a very strong one, though. The twins made short work of it with their strength as Kentucky continued on his way down.

Of course, one Flash Beast was far from enough. More and More of them noticed the twinsʼ presence and came after them.

”There it is!” Suddenly, Rean pointed in a certain direction. He could see the colored fragments again. Those were the fragments that could one day become flash beasts. Yet, at the moment, they could be used to pull them down the Depths much faster than Kentucky himself. By using the same method as before, Rean approached one of those Fragmetns before it could escape. He completely ignored the several Flash Beasts coming for them from all sides. Kentucky and Roan then entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, leaving only Rean outside.

*Grab!*

*Zush!*

The small fragment that looked like a colored crystal was immediately spooked and flashed down with all its power. Naturally, Rean, who was holding onto it, was pulled together. In less than a second, the fragment surpassed Kentuckyʼs speed and only got faster.

Sure enough, the Flash Beasts were left behind, eating dust. The fragment went right and left, hitting Rean against the walls of the Depths of the Continental Barrier. Well, Rean was already used to it since he had gone through such an experience before. Now, his body and cultivation were several times stronger, so he didnʼt even to change places with Roan to hold into the little fragment of colored crystal.

ʼAs expected,ʼ Rean mentioned. ʼOnce they are caught, they all charge into the bottom of the Continental Barrier Depths.ʼ

Roan agreed from inside the Dimensional Realm. ʼThat makes me wonder. Could it be that these small fragments are actually part of Hyeoumu himself?ʼ

ʼThat might be the case,ʼ Rean also considered that possibility. ʼAnyway, the distance to the bottom varies depending on where we enter. Nonetheless, it shouldnʼt take long for us to reach Hyeoumuʼs shell.ʼ
