Death… And Me

Chapter 2327 Hold On!

ʼThis...ʼ Rean began to get closer and closer to the point he was less than a meter away from the small flash beast. Still, it acted as if it simply couldnʼt feel Reanʼs presence at all. ʼCould it be that I donʼt have enough Divine Energy and Divine Origin Energy in my dantian for it to feel my presence?ʼ

Roan, who was watching from inside the Dimensional Realm, agreed with Reanʼs opinion. ”Thatʼs most likely it.”

Sister Took the chance to ask. [In that case, how about trying to capture one and bring it to the Dimensional Realm? You could analyze it more and perhaps find some clues.]

Kencutk couldnʼt help but ask. ”But what if the Flash Beasts are capable of feeling these small Flash Beasts even though they are inside our Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?”

Sure enough, those words took everyoneʼs attention.

Roan immediately looked at Sister Orb. ”Sister Orb, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm has always been able to block any type of signal from going out. It should be able to do the same with the connection between these small Flash Beasts and the Big ones, right?”

[In theory, it should. However, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm had never held such a weird existence before. I canʼt 100% guarantee it. Still, I would give at least a 99% chance of it being the case. It is a different dimension and a special type one, after all.]

Roan narrowed his eyes. Even if the chance was lower than 1%, he truly didnʼt want to risk it.

Rean then had an idea outside. ʼI donʼt really need to bring it into the Dimensional Realm. First, let me capture it and give a close look while staying outside. I can simply release it after and hide from the Normal Flash Beasts when they arrive. We can talk about bringing it into the Dimensional Realm later if I donʼt find anything.ʼ

Seeing no issues with that plan, Roan and the others nodded.

Rean smiled and immediately prepared for action. ʼAlright, Iʼll give it a try.ʼ

He slowly approached his hand, trying to use the smallest amount of Divine Energy possible to keep his Light Bending Skill active around it. Just as his hand got a few centimeters away from the small flash beast, Rean acted.

*Zush!*

Reanʼs hand moved at lightning speed, instantly grabbing the small Flash Beast! ”Haha! Got it!”

However...

*Kabrum!*

”Hooooooooollllllyyyyyy ssshhhhiiiiittttttt!!!!!!!!” The small and ʼweakʼ Flash Beast immediately darted away. And as the one holding it, Rean was pulled together. As much as Rean tried to stop, he simply couldnʼt contend against the power being unleashed by that small flash beast in his hand. The speed at which it was trying to flee was even higher than Rean usually saw then using.

”Release it!” Kentucky shouted from inside the Dimensional Realm.

Roan, on the other hand, said the opposite. ”Donʼt let it go! It will get tired sooner or later! Take that chance to check if it has any uses!”

Yet, the small flash beastʼs speed continued to increase. At some point, Rean couldnʼt even distinguish his surroundings anymore. The small flash beast had already surpassed the speed that Rean himself could achieve. ʼHow can this shit be so fast?!ʼ

Fortunately, even if his reserves of Divine Energy were low, his Starlight Body was still at peak condition. It had more than enough strength to hold onto the small flash beast and not let it go.

Celis couldnʼt help but ask. ”Wonʼt he bump into a normal Flash Beast if he continues like that?”

Roan narrowed his eyes, thinking about the same thing. He couldnʼt understand where that small being was bringing out so much energy to keep such speed. But then again, size had never been a measure of energy quantity in the cultivation world. For example, a cultivatorʼs power would increase as they trained, and they would have breakthroughs into new realms. In every new realm, they would be able to hold even more Divine Energy. Yet, their Dantians continued to be practically the same size. Who could tell if the small flash beast wasnʼt the same case? Small but with a ridiculous amount of energy.

Suddenly, Rean noticed he passed by a huge concentration of chaotic colored light. As soon as he did, that colored light began to pursue him. ʼA Flash Beast! Fuck!ʼ

Thick bolts of colored lightning immediately came striking down against Rean... or so Rean expected that. Yet, the small flash beastʼs speed had reached such a ridiculous proportion that even the normal flash beast couldnʼt do anything against it. All its attacks missed Rean as it roared and flew after him.

In less than a minute, that Big Flash Beast was left behind, and Rean couldnʼt even see its light anymore. ʼI overran a Flash Beast?!ʼ

Immediately, everyone understood. Normal Flash Beasts did have unbelievable strength, but their enormous bodies also made them much slower. That was hard to accept since even Big Flash Beasts were supposed to be made of pure energy. Nonetheless, the facts were in front of their eyes.

Yet, it wasnʼt like Rean could control that small Flash Beast either.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...*

*Ouch, ouch, argh, ou...*

It tried to shake Rean off, running Rean against the walls as it continued to fly down with all its might. Rean felt like crying ahead as his body crashed against the walls without stopping. Fortunately, simple crashes against the walls didnʼt affect Rean that much, as he used his remaining energy and his Starlight Body to resist the collision. Well, it still hurt.

Seeing it from inside the Dimensional Realm, Roan nodded in satisfaction. ”Great! Now we found a great method of traveling in this place. Hold on!”

Rean immediately complained. ʼDo you know how much it hurts?ʼ

Roan heard that and pondered a bit before saying. ”Great! Now we found a great method of traveling in this place. Hold on!”

ʼFuck you!ʼ Rean immediately shouted in his mind.
