Mystical Journey

Garen’s face was solemn. He knew that the situation had become somewhat troublesome now because Blue Frost Sect would never send one of their members out alone. If Bear War Star was here, the other members of his sect would not be far away because this was Blue Frost Sect’s style. There was an abundance of powerhouses among the disciples of Blue Frost Sect. Being a medium-sized sect that was much larger than Scarlet Snow Sect, Garen was most likely to be in deep trouble despite possessing a trump card.

“Black Mountain, what’s wrong?” Sure enough, another voice echoed from behind Bear War Star. “You haven’t gotten the key yet?”

The voice sounded extremely young and did not seem to be more than thirty years old.

“Senior Brother, there’s a little fellow here from Scarlet Snow Sect who seems unwilling to give it to me, hehe.” Bear War Star sneered and gave way to allow the shadow behind him to look at Garen.

In the dark distance, a light blue silhouette descended gently in front of Bear War Star.

The moment the other party’s bright gaze landed on Garen, a terrifying Energy Field exploded suddenly.

Whoosh…

Garen staggered three steps backward consecutively while the Energy Field surrounding his entire body twisted and shook violently. Two other Energy Fields in his surroundings clashed against each other and formed tremendous fluctuations in the airstream before scattering in all four directions.

“Inherited Level?!!” Garen was shocked. Was it really the Inherited Level?! The only thing that he had yet to grasp now was the Inherited Level! It was uncertain whether he would be able to counter the Demonic Blade Sunlight. However, the crux was that his opponent was not merely a normal Inherited Level individual, but had actually achieved the Inherited Level of the medium-sized Blue Frost Sect that was stronger than Scarlet Snow Sect!

He could not be compared to the average Inherited Level Mech Pilot from the outside or even a normal Inherited Level Energy Machinist!

Disciples of medium-sized major sects definitely had an abundance of means and secret tactics according to their grades!

“Second Senior Brother, you came over to collect the key right after you broke through to the Non-falling Level. Is this Space-Time Print really that effective for you?”Garen’s heart dropped into the pit of his stomach upon hearing what Bear War Star said.

Non-falling Level!

All the hairs on his body stood upright while his scalp tingled. A sense of extreme danger stimulated his heart and brain endlessly.

Run! Run! Run!

A voice urged him on frantically in the bottom of his heart.

What was the idea behind the Non-falling Level? Did the Blue Frost Sect actually possess a disciple who had broken through to the Non-falling Level?! The Elders were the only ones who could enter that grade within Scarlet Snow Sect!

Garen was too afraid to move. The gazes of those two eyes resembled a strong magnetic field that was violently sucking him in, making it impossible for him to move.

It was merely a gaze but it was enough to render his entire body motionless. This was simply horrifying!

“The things, I’ll give them to you…” Garen managed to squeeze out a smile.

The youth glanced at him with disdain and laughed but could not be bothered to pay him any mind.

“Collect it quickly and return to the base, I’m going back first.” The youth patted Bear War Star’s shoulder before turning around and left, still ignoring Garen.

“Be careful, Senior Brother,” said Bear War Star respectfully.

As he watched the youth slink into the far darkness, Garen’s entire body was already drenched in sweat. Within these few short moments, it seemed as though he had fallen gravely ill and lost a lot of vital energy.

“Damn!” Suddenly, the bones and muscles within Bear War Star’s body sounded in unison as if they were triggering the Resonance with the hair on his body. He stomped his foot violently and charged over as if he had teleported and struck Garen’s abdomen with his fist.

“You almost humiliated me in front of my Senior Brother!!” Bear War Star roared furiously. He increased the force in his fist as blue lights twinkled faintly there.

Bang!!!

Garen frantically used his palms to block the strike. Although he was able to block it, his opponent’s earth-shaking strength continued to suppress him.

Resonance Level! Half-Moon at least!

Was Bear War Star’s strength actually this strong? Garen’s heart was beating frantically.

With a crack, the bones in his palms fractured slightly. He was sent more than ten meters backward, and only with that that did the tremendous strength slowed down.

“I’ll give you the thing!”

Garen removed the key from his Space Equipment frantically and threw it in his opponent’s direction.

Bear War Star caught the stone key from afar before glancing at Garen’s Space Ring from the corner of his eye.

“Bring your Space Ring over here.” A hint of greed flashed in the depths of his gaze. By merely stating that he wanted to collect the keys, he had already seized the Space Equipment of many Energy Machinists and gained numerous benefits from them. Now that he had encountered a sect disciple like Garen who definitely came from a wealthy family background, it was only natural for him to not let this opportunity pass.

Garen’s heart tightened.

The Space Ring contained more than ten golden crystals that he had obtained after killing Ron and Barlow. It also contained his most powerful trump card, the Demonic Blade Sunlight!! That was definitely a treasure he could not lose!

“I said, remove your Space Ring. Do you not understand?” Bear War Star furrowed his eyebrow. He was not brave enough to simply bully the disciples of other sects usually. After all, there was a probability that anyone could possess a few life-saving objects. However, since his Non-falling Level senior brother was not far away, he became unscrupulous instead. With the support of a Non-falling Level individual, how much could a mere Level Five Energy Machinist struggle?

“Bear War Star, I have already given you the Key. It will be too much for you to want the Space Ring as well.” Garen said softly while trying as much as possible to suppress his anger.

“Too much?” Bear War Star laughed as a hint of murderous intent appeared in his gaze. His figure charged over again as his large fist attempted to strike Garen’s head brutally.

“Die!!”

Boom!!

Garen tried to duck in the midst of the thundering noise when he suddenly felt an intense, uncountable deterrent suppressing his body firmly.

That was the forceful pressure of the Energy Field of the Non-falling Level youth from earlier!

Bang!!

He was sent flying for more than ten meters with that punch. The ground cracked when he crashed into it and the slight bone fractures of his palm from ached faintly again.

Despite possessing Half-Moon Level strength, Bear War Star’s powers were not as great as he had imagined. His strength was merely more violent but was far from Ron’s Great Cold Night Fist.

Garen knew that he would be able to destroy Bear War Star instantly just by using his Demonic Blade.

However, Garen was afraid to act rashly when the horrifying gaze was staring at him secretly. It was the gaze of the Non-falling Level powerhouse from earlier. Although the Demonic Blade was strong, he could only use it to counter normal Inherited Level individuals and not Non-falling Levels.

“Trying to run? Trying to hide? Is a jack of all trades like yourself really thinking of hiding?!” sneered Bear War Star. “Crushing you to death is as simple as stomping on a tiny ant. Does a piece of trash like yourself who can’t even enter Resonance have the right to hide?”

He strode over and stretched an open palm to snatch Garen’s Space Ring.

“Give it to me!”

Garen tried to hide again but was suppressed by that Energy Field yet again. His entire body was rendered motionless and he could only watch on stiffly while Bear War Star’s hand grabbed his ring.

*************

“Gabihogan.” The Non-falling Level youth raised his head and looked at the night sky nearby while standing far away suddenly.

Within the night sky, a red silhouette descended to the ground slowly, his entire body glimmered of faint, red light.

“Blue Pole Star, you’ve finally broken through. Looks like you may have a chance of snatching the first position from your eldest Senior Sister,” said the other person in a clear, loud voice.

“Didn’t you break through as well?” sneered the youth. “What’s the matter? Did you come here this time because you wanted to fight again?”

“You understood it rather quickly,” laughed the other party. “As the Genetic Body of the Dragonbird, I would not have given up on the opportunity to kill you when you first entered the Non-falling Level…”

“What do you mean?” The youth Blue Pole Star’s expression changed slightly. Suddenly, he realized that another crimson silhouette had appeared behind him. The terrifying qi from that figure swelled and dispersed continuously before enveloping the entire range around them of that spanned hundreds of meters.

“It means what you think it means…” laughed the crimson silhouette. He reached out his hand and attempted to seize Blue Pole Star from afar. “Looks like Blue Frost Sect is about to lose a new prodigy today…move out!!”

A violent shout could be heard suddenly.

The two red silhouettes charged outwards, the air distorted and space began to shake.

Tremendous gravitational forces accompanied the movements of both of these people while traces of black threads appeared as well. These threads were slivers of spatial cracks that appeared when gravitational forces underwent changes that were too great.

Blue Pole Star felt his dander was up and his scalp was numb. Both persons who were attacking him from front and back had powers that were equivalent to his own. The situation had instantly turned into a critical moment of extreme danger!

He couldn’t hide!! He couldn’t even hide in time!

He summoned all of his skills and moved his hands to defend the two who were charging at him from the front and back.

Hiss!!!

A glimmered light reflected off the sword.

“Die!”

Garen roared in rage as a blue light burst out in front of him, slicing Bear War Star’s chest in the middle with a loud crash.

The blue traces of the sword sliced through both of Bear War Star’s arms when he was to block it and tore through the single piece of armor on his body. The knife cut through his frightened face violently.

When the sword sliced through his opponent, Garen removed the Space Ring and turned around to leave, retreating more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. Ignoring the conclusion of the battle behind him, he turned again fleeing far and away and quickly disappeared into a little dot in the distance.

“You!!!”

Bear War Star stood on the spot in a daze while stretching his hand out and pointing it in Garen’s direction.

Rip.

His entire body split into two halves, from his shoulders to his waists, before collapsing on the ground.

With a ‘plop’ sound, the top half of Bear War Star’s body slid on the ground. Till death, he still could not understand why none of his defenses had worked. His unimaginably strong limbs, his own protective Energy Field, and the strong defenses of his Night Tortoise gene were completely useless against that blue line that could cut through anything it encountered and could not be blocked.

Both of Bear War Star’s eyes were wide open, but would not be closed again.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying and powerful black line charged over from afar through the empty space. The black line wrapped itself around his corpse instantly and disintegrated it into countless fragments before vanishing into thin air.

This was the aftermath of the fight between three Non-falling Level powerhouses. The region where they were standing in turned into a stretch of darkness immediately. There were dense black lines in the empty spaces that were caused by the friction between the twisted gravitational forces. These lines covered the area completely, making it impossible to see anything.

This was the ultimate territory that was naturally produced during a fight between Non-falling Level individuals. Those who were not even Level One would face life-threatening risks if they even approached it; don’t even mention the crowd who wanted to assist as they would not even have the rights to even observe this fight.

Garen ran through the black plains in the distance quickly. The resources within Bear War Star’s Space Ring were more abundant than expected. It was densely packed with at least fifty golden crystals. There were many other things which were messily inside as well. These few items could not be compared to those that belonged to Ron and the others. It was obvious that these were the accumulated resources that Bear War Star had previously plundered from others. And now they belonged to Garen.

Garen kept looking back to observe and check his surroundings as he rushed in the direction of the Plains of Everlasting Night making a big circle.

He could occasionally feel the disciples and some powerhouses of Blue Frost Sect continuously passing by him faintly, running to Bear War Star’s location. Garen was heading towards the opposite direction. These powerhouses did not recognize him and would naturally ignore him assuming that he was merely a passerby. He noticed the panicked looks on their faces, it was clear that a recent accident had happened there.

Garen had only killed someone violently because of the accident that occurred when the Non-falling Level powerhouse appeared suddenly. He seized the things and left.

If he had not encountered that Non-falling Level, Garen was certain that he would have been able to escape.

Scarlet Snow Sect may be a small sect, but its base camp has a profound background and the sects of the alliance could not be easily suppressed by a single Blue Frost Sect. It was naturally unnecessary for him to fear the other party.

Despite being small, the guardians and lords of Scarlet Snow Sect were not fragmented, and their powers had always been an enigma.

“I’ll go to the place with the Space-Time Print first before returning to Scarlet Snow Sect!” Garen made up his mind. From the moment he gained the key to the Space-Time Print, there was an instinctive feeling in his heart telling him that the Space-Time Print would perhaps benefit him tremendously.

This feeling was caused by the mysterious Soul Seed in his mind. From the beginning until now, the instincts of the Soul Seed had never been wrong.

Garen decided to take a risk for once. He was going to see the legendary Space-Time Print first.

He ran quickly along the way and could see that the Blue Frost Sect disciples that appeared occasionally were getting lesser. Meanwhile, the sporadic and messy monsters were increasing instead.

Numerous Void Jellyfish floated above the ground and moved about continuously as if they were in water. The bottoms of their feet were filled with densely-packed tentacles while their entire bodies were translucent and light purple. They glowed faintly under the night sky and gave off a splendid and beautiful atmosphere.

Each of these jellyfish was over ten meters tall. They were gigantic creatures with tremendous power. Each of them had Level Five grades and the extremely powerful ones had reached Resonance Levels. They were also poisonous, ejecting polluted toxins upon death and contaminating areas of a few kilometers, making them extremely troublesome.

Thus, most people would not provoke them.

Nonetheless, they had extremely gentle dispositions. They would not attack people on their own unless they were provoked. These creatures ate microorganisms and tiny specs of dust in the black smoke ejected out from the Flesh-Banya trees.
