Death… And Me

2723 Messing Up Meetings

Rean and Kentucky arrived at the border of the Hustis Continent a day later. However, just as they were about to enter the Continent, everything around them began to tremble.

”Hm?” Rean raised his guard. ”What is happening?”

Kentucky had his Divine Sense Spread and could tell it was happening all around as far as it could see. ”Earth Quake? Does it have anything to do with us?”

Reanʼs Divine Sense could go even further, so he shook his head. ”Donʼt think so. There are no formations or anything like that. Am ambush doesnʼt need to be this big either.”

*Bang!*

Suddenly, a blast of Divine Energy and Chaotic Elements came from the distance, sweeping everything in its way. Of course, it seemed strong, but it couldnʼt cause any trouble for Rean and Kentucky. They just let it pass through them as they fley higher in the skies.

Finally, then noticed a huge colored wall of energy rising to the skies in the distance as well. It extended as far as they could see, even in their Divine Senses. ”Oh! So thatʼs what is happening!”

The Continental Barriers!

As mentioned in the past, the Continental Barriers were nothing but the energy channels that Hyeoumu used to release his excess energy. However, the experts of the Realm of Gods made a deal with Hyeoumu to have him stop the Continental Barrier while they attacked the Devils in the Realm of Gods.

The Devils are now gone, and the Realm of Godsʼ experts got back their control over the regions once occupied by them. There was simply no reason to keep the Continental Barriers down anymore. That said, they did not try to renew their deal with Hyeoumu.

Now that the time of the deal was over, Hyeoumu finally let his Energy flow freely, and it was a lot more powerful than before. After all, Hyeoumu had been holding it all in his body until now. It would probably take several years until the even more excessive energy in Hyeoumuʼs body dissipated. That made crossing the Continental Barrier a lot more difficult.

It wasnʼt all that bad, though. It might come as an advantage to the Realm of Gods in the future. One would have to wait and see.

Rean and Kentucky approached the Continental Barrier and could feel the presence of a few Barrier Spirits inside, just like the Kibin living in Luanʼs Soul. ”They seem very happy...”

Kentucky nodded. ”Fluki doesnʼt know what happened to his father after he joined us, so perhaps this is good news to him.”

”Well, we will have to check it another time,” Rean said. Right after, he dove into the Continental Barrier without a care. Kentucky, naturally, followed.

The two passed through the barrier, ignoring its power as if it wasnʼt even there. So what if it was more powerful now? With their cultivation, it simply wasnʼt an issue anymore.

*Shua, shua!*

Finally, the two exited on the other side, finally entering the Hustis Continent. ”Hum... where to now?”

Hyeoumu told them this place had a Fragment, but they didnʼt know where, nor did Hyeoumu elaborate. ”Letʼs find some big city, preferably the capital of the continent.”

With their speed, it didnʼt take long to find the first city. It was a complete chaos in it. After all, it had been many years since the Continental Barrier disappeared. For those unaware, many trade routes were established between continents because of that event. Many more treats were agreed upon as well, so life without the Barriers had already taken root in everyoneʼs lives. Now, it came back.

In the middle of the Chaos, Rean finally got the information regarding the Capital of Hustis Continent. Or, to be better, the biggest city. Hustis Continent was controlled by five different powers, so power was shared between them, and you could say the continent had five capitals instead.

They didnʼt care about any of that. They simply fly up to the skies again, ignoring all the cultivators flying around before opening a Spatial Gate. That obviously caught everyoneʼs attention since there wasnʼt anyone in this continent capable of opening such things. Rean and Kentucky disappeared inside, baffling all those who saw that occurrence.

The biggest city in the Hustis Continent was called Blanvie, controlled by the Blanvie Clan, which was also one of the five powers of the continent. Things were a lot calmer here. The reason is pretty simple, very few experts knew about the reappearance of the Continental Barriers just some time ago. Only those who received messages through Thoughts Transmission Talismans were made aware of it. Naturally, the patriarch of the Blanvie Clan was one of them.

Samuel Blanvie was in the meeting hall with many elders of his clan. They were all discussing the resurgence of the Continent Barriers. ”Could it be related to the other four powers?” One of the elders asked.

However, someone else quickly shook his head. ”As if! Even if the five powers join forces, we couldnʼt pull something like this off. What about the message from the center of the Realm of Gods that mentioned invasion from other Universes?”

”That seems even more implausible,” Samuel quickly discarded that idea. ”Why would they select our Continent? It makes no sense. Besides, it is not like the barrier didnʼt exist before. It was simply off all this time.”

Due to their distance from the Center of the Realm of Gods, even the attack against the Devils was something they barely heard anything about. The communication system will eventually reach this place, but that will still take some time.

Suddenly, a white haired young man appeared with his back lying against Samuelʼs big chair. His presence was so subtle that it took a few seconds for anyone to even notice that he was there.

”Samuel, careful!” One of the elders near Samuel immediately attacked, using all his power as a Void Tempering Realm expert to attack the young man.

However, he soon saw himself being unable to move. Not only he but every single person in that meeting room couldnʼt flex a single muscle anymore.

As for the young man, that was obviously Rean. ”Sorry, sorry. I didnʼt want to mess with your meeting. Itʼs just that I need some information. After that, I promise Iʼll just leave. How about this? Iʼll give you information regarding the continental barrier as well.”

Finally, Rean released his control over the Spatial Power in the room, allowing everyone to move again. Yet, no one tried anything. They would need to be pretty idiotic to not understand that Rean was absolutely not someone they could mess with.

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
