Death… And Me

Chapter 3217: That Direction!

The world darkened around the twins, and the Void Shattering Pill, which was still raging inside their bodies, suddenly began to get suppressed. Soon, the twins felt something they were very familiar with. Rean and Roan couldnʼt manipulate anymore, but they could still feel them, the laws...

The Laws of the Mortal Realm in this Universe acted on the twins and the pills inside their bodies. Everything necessary for the breakthrough was barred, and the pillsʼ power quickly vanished. Not long after, the twins were left in a daze as their cultivations stabilized at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, at the very limit between it and the next realm.

Roan opened his eyes, not finding it surprising at all. His instincts were telling him ever since he began to work on the pills that something wasnʼt right. Now, he knows why. ”The Werdlem Empireʼs Control over the realms of its Universes is truly phenomenal. Even though it was only for a moment, we were able to feel it...”

Rean sighed, knowing what Roan was talking about. ”Indeed. The laws that stopped our breakthrough, they arenʼt natural. There was something mixed in them, something that wasnʼt supposed to be there. It was that something that prevented our breakthrough just now. It wasnʼt targeting us, though.”

Sister Orb confirmed their words. [Indeed. I was checking your conditions all the time. These laws didnʼt really stop you because you were you. They simply stopped the process of breakthrough. To be more specific, they seem to stop anything that tries to surpass the limits of a Mortal Realm, in this case, the Void Tempering Realm Breakthrough.]

Rean and Roan were now at the limit of that realm, and both of them knew how to break through. Even without the pills, Rean and Roan definitely had the experience to have a breakthrough right now. They could simply ask Rifindio for a little of his remaining Divine Stones. Unfortunately, with those laws in place, they knew that reaching the Void Tempering Realm on this planet and this Mortal World was out of the question.

Rifindio approached the two, looking at their progress. ”Void Shattering Pills, uh? I didnʼt expect you could concoct such pills in this Mortal World. Still... how come you didnʼt break through into the Void Tempering Realm?”

Rean shrugged. ”You have your beloved Werdlem Empire to thank for that. It seems like the cultivation realms above Transition can only be achieved in the Divine Realm, no exception. Once again, I marvel at how thorough their control of their territories is.”

Rifindio then looked to the side, seeing Kentucky there. ”As for you, master... You also reached the Transition Realm Peak Stage?”

”Hahaha!” Kentucky laughed out loud. ”How could these two have breakthroughs and I not? Obviously, I followed suit.”

Of course, Kentucky didnʼt have any breakthrough whatsoever. Part of the suppression in his cultivation was simply released now that the twins reached the Transition Realm. He would always match the twins.

Zangeshu, on the side, seemed to be the only one impressed. ”A pill that can bring you to the Void Tempering Realm. Even though you told me about this before, seeing it happening in front of my eyes is another story.”

Roan ignored the bird and focused on the sky, which slowly returned to the same mix of silver and yellow color as before. Following that, he raised his hand and focused. Soon, Spatial Powers gathered around his hand, moving as he wished.

”What?!” Rifindio was finally taken by surprise. ”How can you control Spatial Power at the Transition Realm?!”

Rean did the same thing, finding it quite easy to do so. ”Truth be told, Roan and I were already able to control Spatial Powers when we reached the Transition Realm for the first time in our lives. We are just repeating what we did before. Well, we are thousands of times better at it now than back then, of course.”

Reanʼs Black Star Sword appeared, and he slashed down at one of the side mountains. They were still in the same Mountain Range, after all. Spatial Power covered the attack, adding to the Light Element and Sky Energy, ultimately slicing through the mountain as if it were made of paper. ”Seems about right.”

Roan wasnʼt that satisfied, though. ”Our Sky Energy has to use Spiritual Energy instead of Divine Origin Energy. The loss of power is pretty high. The way we are now, we would be somewhat comparable to a Void Tempering Realm Late-Stage Expert. If just we had normal Divine Energy...”

Rifindio quickly jumped away. ”Donʼt look at me! I only have a few Divine Stones remaining. Shoo, shoo!”

Roan wasnʼt in the mood to negotiate. ”Give me the stones, or I will take them myself.”

Rean patted Rifindioʼs shoulder. ”Bro, if we donʼt do something in the next 24 hours, we are all dead. So...”

Rifindio wanted to cry, but he knew Rean was right. ”Fine! You better pay me back when this is all over!”

63 Rank Three Divine Stones, that was all Rifindio still had in his Spatial Ring. He gave Rean and Roan 21 each and another 21 to Kentucky. Finally, with a heavy heart, looked away. ”Just tell me the plan before I hang myself here...”

Rean, Kentucky, and Roan quickly took the Divine Stones and began to absorb them. They werenʼt using the Stones. Instead, they were storing their energy in their Dantians, separating it from the normal Spiritual Energy. If necessary, they can bring it out at any time. With that over, Roan looked at the skies again. He didnʼt look for long, though. ”Kentucky, Spatial Power is your area. Only Luan is better at it than you. Can you tell where most of it is being gathered? Whoever is controlling it all is probably somewhere near there.”

Kentucky, now with much more of his cultivation released, could also feel and use Spatial Powers. ”Give me a moment...”

He quickly focused his senses on the Spatial Powers, and the flow became clear to him. ”Hum?” Finally, Kentucky opened his eyes again. Yet, he seemed surprised by something. ”Rifindio, werenʼt you the only Camazotz Bat to come to this planet?”

Rifindio didnʼt expect that question. ”Thatʼs correct. Why?”

Kentucky then pointed his wing in the direction he was feeling most of the Spatial Power of the world concentrating. ”Well, there is definitely another one with the same bloodline as yours in that direction. Itʼs the same direction Iʼm feeling most of the Spatial Power of this world concentrating.”
