1628  Retreating Under Pressure

Azief did not notice above is head, beyond the sky of Earth, a massive cosmic thundercloud is forming solidly and its pressure is mounting

These cosmic clouds did not fill the entire sky of Earth but instead covers the entirety of the area where Pandemonium is supposed to be

This cosmic cloud hurtles through space following Earth rotation and Earth course of trajectory across the empty space. BOOM!

It began spewing lightning and thunder and wherever it passes, the particles and atoms across the area would be pulverized into nothingness.

Azief is still focusing his thoughts in condensing his next Essence Avatar

Just like before when his Celestial energy turns into an Essence Avatar a different kind of pressure is now enveloping the entire Pandemonium. Then pressure is now spreading even further across the land. Pandemonium is already large enough and now his pressure goes beyond that.

BOOM!

Near the forest, the entourage led by Sasha and the Three Great Generals of Pandemonium halted in front of the forest.

They all look in front of them like they are facing a great enemy

Sasha, Wang Jian, Athena and Freya who were about to come close toward the forest could not reach the forest depth. Not because they did not know the way or because the forest is too far but as they come closer and closer, it felt like they were stuck in a mud, unable to fly closer to the centre. At first, it felt like they are stuck in a mud, and tehri speed lessened. But the more they try to fight against this pressure, and the more they pushed forward, the more pressure it bounced back on them

Until they could no longer fly forward and the weight becomes more and more unbearable. And when Azief condense even a little bit of his Celestial energy to Celestial essence, these four people feel a repulsive force that push them away from the forest

It was like they were hit by a blast of energy. Wang Jian did not give up. He brought out his black staff and tries to smash down this pressure

But what happens?

The Black Staff bend and the resulting force pushes Wang Jian hundreds of kilometres away, the clouds split into air and the skies cracked

Wang Jian uses his force to stop his body mid-air and his armor cracked almost in an instant

"Uhuk, uhuk!" Stopping in the air, sonic boom erupted as he suddenly stops his body in mid-air

he look toward the forest in front of him with his eyes narrowed like he is trying to look at something

He could see the blue aura spreading and the energy that is waving about like waves of the ocean becoming more and more clear Energy waving about, the pressure rising by the second

And Wang Jian clicked his tongue, clenches his fist and he was about to rush forward again but then he halted and shakes his head

His energy become disturbed and he cough up blood and his energy become disordered with every breath

He opens up his Storage bag and brought out a few pills. he quickly stuffed a few of them inside his mouth and a few second later, his face now has a bit colour in them and his energy is slowly calming down

"What the hell is that?" he mutters. But he did not yet charge forward. The kind of repulsive power that he felt before is so powerful that Wang Jian feel like he is a mantis trying to stop a rolling boulder. And Wang Jian is not the only one who tries to defeat this invisible force

Athena saw what happens to Wang Jian but that did not deter her. She could see the energy in front of her, like a wave that become more and more turbulent as the pressure from the forest is rising, piercing the sky and he Heavens, and bringing down a powerful pressure all over Pandemonium The sky is already open and if one look at the sky above one could see directly the starry skies as they look through the cracks of heaven

Athena slash with his Sword of Ares, a dark red aura split the sky and split the space in front of her but when it met that force that comes from the center of the forest, the dark red aura dissipated, and Athena armor was hit by that blast

Her shield cracked, her armor broke and she was pushed so far away she only stop when her body crashed into a mountain

The mountain instantly turns into ash. Freya throws an axe, the axe was destroyed in an instant, the repulsive force pushes her and even when she activated her berserker method, she could not stand it

The force push her away like a broken kite, her bones broke, her mouth spouted blood and her energy all become disordered.

Her Disk cracks and for a moment all the Laws she could command suddenly lose control. There is other warriors that accompany Sasha and the Three Great General but they did not dare to fight against that force and so they are slowly pushed backward They did not rebel against this force, instead they acted like wind and water, following the flow.

The other did not dare to do such a thing like hitting against this force to move forward

They would have if they did not just see what happens After all, even the Three Great Generals were beaten by this invisible force. All of them are not stronger than Sasha, and the Three Great Generals combined

So, how could they dare try? Wang Jian is spurting out blood, Athena and Freya all look beaten.

If they are the ones doing it, they might even explode into ashes. Sasha did not attack or order an attack . She could tell something is wrong about this force

"We could not come near it?" she thought and she sighed. "Retreat!" she shouted. If they could not beat it and could not come closer, the only thing she could do right now is retreat and try to find another way to help Death Monarch.,

If Azief is really in the process of breakthrough, them being there might not help Azief and might even burden him

Sasha order a retreat and the soldiers and warriors that was pushing forward all heaved a sigh of relief like they were spared from a death sentence

they were forced to retreat. And in just a few second they already retreated thousands of miles away. They look around them and they could see that this wave of energy is rippling.

Sasha frowned

"What happened to the other devices?" she thought to herself. Before she and her squad put a lot of electronic devices all around the forest. The wanted to do a Time Mapping and she even included many surveillance devices all over the forest.

Now, she could not see these devices because they are all scattered all along the forest, but she is quite sure that all of the electronic devise that she had step up has probably been fried by the sudden energy blast Sasha look toward Wang Jian, Freya and Athena and they all nodded to one another

Even though they did not say anything, they all seemed to understand each other in that moment. With this kind of strength, with this kind of power, they could not help but feel that their deduction is right

The one in the epicentre of this energy blast is none other than Death Monarch. Other than him, there is probably no other person in this world that could swat all of them away just by relying on an unintendedly discharge of energy. "What should we do now? This is your turf, Sasha. I think you must have protocol when it is like this" Sasha did not answer immediately as she looks in front of him and could feel that the repulsive aura become more and more evident.

It also means the energy is becoming even stronger and spreading even more wider. "My intention was simply to protect him" Wang Jian nodded. They all came here to confirm whether the person in the forest is really Death Monarch

And even though they did not yet see Death Monarch face, they recognize this kind of overbearing energy.

They are quite sure that this is Death Monarch energy

"If I confirmed it was Death Monarch and he is attesting a breakthrough, I would set up a protection formation to help him breakthrough in peace"

"But, now we could not even come close to him" "That is a miscalculation on my part"

"You think he is breaking through to Essence Creation?" Freya asked and Sasha thinks for a moment, sigh and nodded. All over the world, the people always debated what is the true realm of Death Monarch level. Some said he is in the middle realm of Divine Comprehension realm and some said that he is at the peak realm of Divine Comprehension realm

But no one could be sure. However, when Sasha saw what that energy did o Wang Jian, Athena and Freya she removes her doubt. She is quite sure only a breakthrough of Essence Creation, a two realm above Disk Formation that could be so powerful that three of the greatest general of Pandemonium is like a leave caught up in a gust of wind, unable to mount any resistance whatsoever. "But I could not come close" she mutters to herself. It is always a frustrating thing when you are supposed to protect the interest of the strongest person in the world

Because then you would realize there is not many things you could do to help such a person. She could not come close to where Death Monarch is right now and she doubts that there is anyone in the world that could come close to Death Monarch right now

The pressure that is coming from the forest is becoming stronger and stronger and not before long no one could move near the forest because of the pressure. "Retreat a few thousand miles more" that is the conclusion that Sasha, Wang Jian, Athena and Freya reached. >> Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
