Death… And Me

Chapter 2329 What To Do?

Rean used his Light Element to illuminate the surroundings. ”So... we are here. What now?”

At the same time, Luan used his Elemental Eyes to check everything. ”There is one piece of good news. The Chaotic Elements and Divine Energy are a lot more calmer now. It is not as good as outside the Continental Barrier, and you could say it is still a little bit messy, but it is much better.”

Roan looked at the ground and stomped his foot.

*Bang!*

The ground trembled slightly... but that was all about it. A kick with Roanʼs Starlight Body full power, and it didnʼt leave even a mark on the surface of the ground. It was made of some tough material. It was extremely solid and resistant. ”Is this some kind of rock?”

Rean got down and knocked it a few times with his hand before shaking his head. ”Itʼs definitely not an ore. If it is, then I have never seen it before.”

Kentucky looked around apprehensively. ”Is it really okay for us to stop here? Wonʼt those Flash Beasts corner us here on the ground?”

Roan looked around and shook his head. ”I donʼt think it will happen. If our guess was correct, the Flash Beasts arenʼt dissipating because of the Convergency Crystal Fragments on the walls that provided them with energy. This place here doesnʼt have those fragments, so I donʼt think they would come here. You saw what happened to the small Flash Beast in Reanʼs hand.”

Roan then brought out his White Star Scythe before summoning his Sky Energy and Scythe Intent Aura. Using all his strength, he immediately slashed down.

*Swish!*

*Clang!*

Sky Energy spread everywhere as the force of the attack dissipated. This time, there was a slight cut mark left behind... but that was about it. It was obvious that trying to dig their way down was out of the question. ”Seems like we need to move.”

Since they were still inside the Continental Barrier, their path extended endlessly to both sides of that ground. Roan pondered a bit and immediately reached a decision. ”Letʼs go right. Thatʼs the direction of the very center of the Realm of Gods. The other side leads outside of the Central Area.”

No one complained before they all jumped on Kentuckyʼs back. The continental barrier was several kilometers large, so there was more than enough space for Kentucky to fly. Kentucky quickly set off as Rean kept illuminating the surroundings, shooting into the distance. He made sure to keep his body as close as possible to the ground since the Flash Beasts were up.

As they flew, Luan kept his Elemental Eyes active as he looked to the ground. He seemed very attentive to it. ”This is quite weird...”

Rean and Roan looked at him. ”What are you seeing?”

Luan then explained. ”I have seen many materials that contain elements in them. This ground is no different. Although the amount of elements coming from it is pitifully small, it still happens. Itʼs just that it has all elements, just like the continental barrier.”

Rean and Roan saw nothing wrong with it. ”Isnʼt that obvious? This place had been where the Continental Barrier Energy passed all this time. It is normal that the ground would store some of its energy after so long. Most likely, it became this tough exactly for the same reason.”

Luan shook his head. ”Thatʼs not what I meant. What I want to say is that the Continental Barrier Source is this weird ground...”

”The ground?” Everyone looked at it. Sure, it was tough, but it didnʼt give them a feeling of something that could create the Continental Barrier. The Continental Barrier carried just way too much energy, and the ground definitely wasnʼt showing such an effect. Of course, they also knew Luan wouldnʼt lie to them.

”If what Luan said is true, then we came to this place for pretty much no reason,” said Rean. ”What could we possibly make with this ground? If that is truly the case, it most likely extends through the entire Realm of Gods. It is impossible to acquire it. Well, if Roan and I use our full strength, it is possible to get a few small pieces, but they would be pretty much useless. They arenʼt suitable for anything I forge.”

”For now, letʼs continue to fly. We are already here, so we might as well travel for a while to see if anything changes,” Roan decided. ”There doesnʼt seem to be any danger this deep due to the lack of the Convergency Crystal Fragments. We have nothing to lose at the moment.”

Kentucky sighed in relief after hearing that there should be no danger and increased his speed. He was definitely flying much faster than their group was when they were descending to this place. 

As they flew, Luan couldnʼt help but ask. ”What if the Continental Barrier suddenly starts again?”

Roan didnʼt seem that concerned. ”We have Fluki. Not to mention that our cultivation level is more than enough to resist the pressure of the continental barrier, too.”

Still, that also raised another question in their minds. ”How come we havenʼt found a single Continental Barrier Spirit?”

Unfortunately, no one had an answer to that question.

After what seemed to be an eternity, the twinsʼ group began to get gloomy. There were a few times they encountered intersections. However, none of them was surprised. After all, the Continental Barrier had many intersections, so it had to have down here, too. But other than those intersections, they truly havenʼt seen anything different.

It was a never-ending and boring journey that didnʼt seem to reward any prizes for their effort. They even began to discuss how they would return to the surface now that they were trapped down here.

Roan was the most patient, but even he understood that there was nothing to be done if they were to continue like this. ”Fine, letʼs try to get back to the surface.”

Rean then looked down. ”Since thatʼs the case, help me collect a few fragments of this ground. I donʼt have any uses for it now, but there might be some in the future.”

Roan didnʼt mind, and the two of them immediately began to attack the ground with all their might. Little by little, they created big enough fissures to detach some of the ground. Finally, a big piece flew off, which Rean quickly caught. ”This is good for now. Letʼs go.”

Yet, just as the Big Piece left the ground, the ground began to tremble. Spatial Laws around the twinsʼ group gathered instantly. Before they could do anything, they were immediately teleported away with a flash of silver light!
