Chapter 1450 - Counting On You
Author"s note: I made a small mistake and added Energy Gathering Realm during this arc for Rafatia and Luan. However, back when the twins arrived in the Realm of G.o.ds, Sister Orb told them that everyone was born in the Foundation Establishment. I have fixed the parts where I used Energy Gathering Realm to Foundation Establishment. Anyway, that"s all.
---
As mentioned before, the concentrated Divine Energy spheres were the dantians and cores from cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits. Luan"s three pupils had different fields of vision. One was to see the same thing as everyone. The second went for Elements. As for the last, it could see Divine Energy. That meant that barriers and things like that were of no use as Luan could see through it all with the Elemental and Divine Energy Pupils.
Then again, that didn"t mean Roan felt safe. He already tested Luan"s abilities and knew it couldn"t see more than 153 meters. More than that and he would miss a lot. That wasn"t a distance that could really make a cultivator feel safe in a situation like this. In any case, it was much better than nothing since no one wanted to use Divine Sense.
Eventually, they left the dirty water and fell into a huge underwater tunnel. Rean then conjured a light sphere to illuminate the surroundings. After all, if they couldn"t use Divine Sense, there was no way to tell which direction they would go. At least light wouldn"t get as far as Divine Sense, reducing the chances of attracting hordes of aquatic demon beasts.
There was nothing in that tunnel, though. Other than several algae that had adapted to the dark, the tunnel was pretty much devoid of life. Rean didn"t waste time and immediately tried to access the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If it was blocked, then there was definitely danger. Fortunately, Rean had no problem with it as he was able to bring Kentucky out straight away. "Seems like we"re safe for now."
Carion and Briget didn"t even want to ask about Kentucky"s sudden disappearance and appearance anymore. It was obvious that the twins had some kind of spatial item that could store life. With that in mind, Carion took a jade slip from his spatial ring and checked the contents inside. Briget did the same thing as him. After a few minutes, the two seemed to reach a decision. "Alright, we aren"t much further from the point I first wanted to fall into. I"ll start guiding us through the tunnels until we get into the Under Desert Sea."
"Aren"t we in the Under Desert Sea yet?" Rean asked, somewhat confused.
Briget shook her head, telling him, "Does it look like a sea? This is just one of the countless tunnels at the border of the real sea. Once we reach the Under Desert Sea, you will notice that it"s a gigantic s.p.a.ce completely filled with water."
The twins" group nodded as Carion and Briget began to bring them away. Rean and Roan covered Falangia, Rafatia, and Luan with their Divine Soul Power, and Kentucky dragged everyone along, following the Purple Lightning Eagle. Rean also kept illuminating the pa.s.sage to see where they were going.
Well, it turned out that Carion and Briget were right. They only stayed in the tunnels for a little over an hour. Along the way, they found a few aquatic demon beasts at Stage Six and below. However, with Rean"s Light and Divine Sense bending skill, the majority didn"t notice their presence.
However, Rean also noticed a problem. Some of those demon beasts still detected their presence and attacked, even though his skills were up. It didn"t take long for his group to understand that the turmoil in the currents that their bodies caused caught the demon beasts" attention. Unfortunately, that was something that Divine Soul Power and Light Element could do nothing about.
On the other hand, those demon beasts were very weak. Carion, Briget, Rean, and Roan were able to dispatch them almost instantly. They also moved away from the scenes straight away as the blood would definitely attract more.
Suddenly, the pa.s.sage ahead began to expand. Rean"s light also became unnecessary as there was light up ahead. Soon, the twins" group was able to see the Under Desert Sea. "That"s quite impressive."
It was like Briget and Carion mentioned. Sure, there seemed to be some entrances in their field of vision, but they all led to this ma.s.sive sea. When they looked down, they noticed the seafloor several kilometers below. As for the ceiling, it was just a few tens of meters above. That was to be expected since they came from the surface.
The entire area was illuminated by countless glowing blue algae as far as they could see. There were many cave pillars connecting the ground to the ceiling. Obviously, it was those uncountable pillars that prevented the desert and the ground under it from caving in.
Carion then pointed in several directions, saying, "Look. There"s no lack of aquatic demon beasts here." He was right. Although the majority were very weak Stage One Aquatic Demon Beasts, a few of their leaders were at Stage Three or Four. "This is the side of the Under Desert Sea where you"ll find the least number of high-level demon beasts. However, that doesn"t mean it"s devoid of life. Try not to catch their attention. Some of these low-level demon beasts may look weak, but they can swarm a cultivator with tens of thousands of them from all sides."
Roan understood what Carion meant, saying, "Even if tens of thousands swarm us, it wouldn"t be much of an issue. However, the chaos would definitely attract a lot of strong demon beasts."
"Correct." Carion nodded in agreement. "Anyways, they aren"t as sensitive to the change in the current like demon beasts at Stage Five and above. I"ll try to guide us through the water as far away from the demon beasts as possible. There are definitely much stronger aquatic demon beasts ahead, but most of them stay in those tunnels, as you saw before. I"ll try to avoid them as well."
Rean then jumped on the Purple Lightning Eagle"s back after that. "It will be better if I use my skill here while Kentucky and Roan do the same on their side."
Carion and Briget already saw that, so they just nodded in response. "Alright.. We"re counting on you."
