Death… And Me

Chapter 1323 – Too Good

Due to how large the area affected by the two ancient beasts was, some cultivators naturally noticed the commotion. However, none of them dared to get close to that place, making the twins' group the only party crazy enough to do so.

Kentucky, obviously, went as well as he could fly. When Kentucky and Rean were put together, they would be invisible and wouldn't leave any marks on the ground. Not to mention that Kentucky could use his Divine Energy to stop the sound of his wings flapping from spreading.

But even with that, Kentucky flew towards the ancient beasts' battleground slowly, tensioning his muscles to react to the slightest changes ahead. Little by little, they began to see the outline of what seemed to be the ancient beast. The spikes over its bodies were the first sign. Obviously, it was the dinosaur-like ancient beast who won the fight.

A few minutes later, they finally covered half of the distance and were able to see a peculiar view. It looked like the entire area around that ancient beast was becoming warped, making the air in the area move in its direction. Rean's group understood what was happening. "He's absorbing the Divine Energy from the area. Could it really be?"

Their group couldn't help but feel a little excited, but they still approached slowly. The area where the ancient beast was lying was just a few kilometers away from where they first saw the snake, showing that they had passed near it before. It was then that they saw the ancient beast with its eyes closed. It wasn't hard to see due to its size.

'Could it be that it's sleeping?'

'It's absorbing the Divine Energy around it, though.'

'Maybe it's an automatic process for them.'

'It shouldn't have any issues with sleeping. After all, it can feel the presence of other ancient beasts due to the natural spatial detection ability they have.'

'Indeed, if that snake decides to return, this guy will immediately feel its presence when the snake enters its range.'

'It's useless to keep speculating. Let's just get closer. We're almost at the area where it's absorbing the Divine Energy.'

Everyone agreed as Kentucky kept moving forward. Eventually, they reached a point where they could feel the Divine Energy from behind being dragged in the ancient beast's direction. Not too long after, they detected something different. To be more specific, some kind of different energy.

[It's Divine Origin Energy! Quick, get closer to the source!] Sure enough, Sister Orb immediately identified it.

However, Rean and Roan wouldn't tell Kentucky to speed up at all. They had to be careful of the ancient beast first. Everything was going fine until a few kilometers later, the ancient beast moved its head. Kentucky immediately stopped moving as he felt a chill on his back. The twins and Hurio were no different.

However, it seemed like the ancient beast was simply uncomfortable with its previous position, so it moved its head to a better one and continued to sleep. The twins' group saw that the ancient beast didn't move anymore after that and sighed in relief before Kentucky advanced some more.

Eventually, they stopped just fifteen kilometers away from the ancient beast. It might look like a big distance. However, due to the ancient beast's size spanning several kilometers, it didn't feel like that at all.

Roan then looked at Rean, Hurio, and Kentucky and said, 'Let's stop here. The Divine Origin Energy should be higher if we go where the ancient beast is located. However, once we start absorbing Divine Origin Energy, it might feel the fluctuations and notice our presence. We aren't even sure if it won't notice us right now.'

Rean and Hurio immediately nodded in response. Kentucky then gently landed on the ground, trying to not make any noise. After that, Rean and Roan wondered if they should bring Celis out as well. If anything, they could just invent some excuse or whatever. However, they had a better idea in the end. Not long after, they had Sister Orb open a passage to the Dimensional Realm, and Rean covered it with his Light and Divine Sense bending skill.

Thanks to that, Hurio wasn't able to see or feel it. Even if he did, it wouldn't be a problem as Rean and Roan could come up with some excuse. Due to the contract, Hurio couldn't do anything. Not to mention that no one could enter the Dimensional Realm without obtaining the twins' permission. The twins would need to spend 10000 Destiny Points for a free pass, after all.

Celis, obviously, was ready for it when the spatial passage between the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and the Lost Star Realm opened. Above that, the twins were even more secure now. After all, the Dimensional Realm wouldn't open if the system considered they were in danger. Since it did open, it concluded that the ancient beast indeed didn't pose any threat at the moment. If it changed, the passage would close straight away.

All of Celis' roots concentrated around the large passage. As soon as he felt that energy, Celis felt like he was raking in gold. "Holy shit! This thing is amazing!" Without wasting any time, Celis immediately began to absorb the Divine Origin Energy in the surroundings nonstop.

Because the passage was open between the twins, another vortex of Divine Origin Energy formed, rushing in their direction like torrents. Naturally, that was the ability of Celis, the World Swallowing Cedar. Of course, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky absorbed Divine Origin Energy as fast as possible as well. It's just that Rean had to divert some of his attention to keep the Light and Divine Sense bending skill activated around his group, so he was quite slower than the others. Well, Kentucky and Roan wouldn't complain about it at all. The last thing they needed was for that ancient beast to notice their presence.

Hurio couldn't help but feel shocked at the absorption rate of the twins and Kentucky.. Compared to them, he felt like he wasn't cultivating at all. 'Just how good is their cultivation technique?'
