Death... and me

Not long after, the twins saw the people from the top ten powers start to take a few steps back. From the looks of it, they weren’t sure if the barrier would hold that wave back. Seeing this, Rean and Roan were ready to jump on Kentucky to leave this place as fast as possible.

The moment the wave reached the cultivators inside, they immediately used all their methods to defend against it. However, even the best ones there weren’t able to hold for more than a few seconds before shattering. Following that, their bodies were destroyed by the berserk energy within the huge wave of Light Element, with no chance of survival at all.

The eyes of the people who saw it showed the fear contained inside them. None of them wanted to be in their place. In fact, it was hard to say if they would still follow the top ten powers now that they saw this thing. After all, they knew it wasn’t possible to come back from beyond the barrier, and they would need to rely on the top ten powers for that. Then again, they weren’t sure if they could either.

*Rumble!*

As the wave crashed onto the barrier, it trembled nonstop, seemingly on the verge of breaking at any time. Several nervous eyes looked at it, completely forgetting the rest of the world. However, that was it. It didn’t matter how much the barrier trembled. It stayed put, holding the wave with all its power.

It wasn’t before twenty minutes or so that the wave began to dissipate while the chaotic Divine Energy behind it started to disperse. The barrier also stopped trembling not long after.

Following that, the top ten powers’ disciples started to get close to the barrier once again, seemingly giving off the feeling that they were preparing to enter. Naturally, those who pretended to follow them started to prepare as well. It’s just that there weren’t as many people as before.

Rean and Roan also prepared, and they purposely got closer to the group where the man who stopped them was situated. Rean then took the opportunity to thank that man. “Senior, thank you for stopping us back then. We owe you a lot.”

“Hmph!” The middle-aged man didn’t seem to care that much. “I didn’t do it for you. I’ll give you a piece of advice, though. That’s not the last Star Wave. If you know what’s good for you, you shouldn’t enter this place.”

Rean shook his head after hearing that. “We need to enter. Nonetheless, we’re thankful for the help you gave us, even if it wasn’t your intention. By the way, how can we address you, senior?”

“Wian.” The middle-aged man answered straight away, but he didn’t seem to want to know the twins’ name, though. “Now, don’t bother me anymore.”

Rean nodded. “Alright, thank you once again.” He then turned around and went back to Kentucky and Roan.

At some point, the wave filled with berserk energy and Light Element finally dispersed, which made the top ten powers move through the barrier straight away. Following that, many cultivators’ groups, including Hurio’s group, followed suit. One must remember that the barrier allowed one to enter. It only stopped one from coming out.

Kentucky then let out a sharp cry before taking flight and heading towards the barrier, behind the top ten powers’ groups. Everyone was able to pass through the barrier without issues. However, the groups of the big powers didn’t dawdle around. Immediately, they all looked in the same direction before looking at each other. It was obvious that they were after the same thing, regardless of what it could be. With that being said, they all sped up and soon disappeared in the distance.

Rean and Roan couldn’t care less, though. Most of the cultivators’ groups followed the top ten powers, but they immediately selected another direction. Surprisingly, Hurio’s group was the same. They also turned in a different direction, which just so happened to be where the twins were heading. “Errr… do you guys need something from us?” Rean could not help but ask.

Lamanto shook his head in response. “We’re just trying to get away from the other groups as well. Once we’re far enough, we will go our separate ways.”

Rean and Roan looked at each other and simply nodded. It didn’t seem like Lamanto wanted to try anything against them. After all, Lamanto himself was more than strong enough to get rid of the twins, so there was no need to do something like this. No one would care if they acted either.

Sure enough, a few hours later, Lamanto’s group decided to head separate ways from the twins. However, much to the twins’ surprise, they threw Hurio in their direction as if he was some plaything. “Here’s the guy you initially made the Soul Binding Contract with.”

“Eeeeiiii!” Hurio was taken aback as his body was thrown in the air, quickly falling in Kentucky’s direction. “What the hell are you doing?!”

Kentucky then changed his position, stopping right below where Hurio was going to fall, catching him. Nevertheless, Kentucky and the twins were puzzled by that sudden change of events. “Care to explain?”

Lamanto shook his head as he said, “He told us about the Divine Origin Energy area you found together. As much as we don’t want him to be here, it’s a fact that it helped him a lot. Perhaps the three of you will have the same luck again.”

However, Hurio understood what Lamanto was trying to do. “You just don’t want me to head to that same place! Just what the hell is there? Aren’t the Fallen Light Star Fragments enough?”

Mira shook her head when she heard that. “You will know in time. For now, we can’t risk having you die there.”

“Doesn’t that mean you’re the ones who might die then?” Hurio replied with a dark expression.

Mira pondered in silence for a bit before she threw another person in the air. “If it makes you feel any better, have your sweetheart, so stop complaining.”

Lilia also screamed as she flew in Kentucky’s direction. Rean and Roan didn’t know what to say anymore. However, Rean wouldn’t let the girl simply fall, so he told Kentucky to grab her as well.. Then again, with her cultivation, she wouldn’t suffer anything if she fell from such an altitude anyway.
