YM778.TV Chapter 432
The group was composed of three men and two women and they barely escaped the destruction caused by Cupid’s Arrow with only a few scratches .
One of the two females could use Healing Magic but it was futile as it did close to nothing . With no other options, the two women laid the injured couple on a comfortable bed inside a newly-put tent .
A muscular and tall black man sighed as he examined the two of them and then said
"We’ll camp here for a few days, perhaps they’ll wake up soon . "
He didn’t seem to believe much in his words . Although they didn’t have any apparent serious injuries, their skin was that of a corpse and their temperature couldn’t be colder .
Jace let out a sigh and left the tent only to see comrades looking at him with a strange gaze .
"What? You want to leave them for death like that?"
No one protested and went about their business . Jace benefited greatly from the Paradise Garden, his two friends and their new females ’companions’ were lucky enough to find a rare herb in that snowy field under the floating island .
As the five them were busy eating some roasted meat, one of Jace’s friends asked
"Do you think they caused ’that’?"
He was referring to the obliteration of the Northern Part of the Secret Realm . Anyone foolish enough to step into the ominous Void caused by the destruction would instantly die therefore the garden could no longer be accessed .
Jace shrugged his shoulders and answered
"It matters not . The restrictions are gone so they probably fought some powerful opponents . "
He got the shivers every time he thought about that explosion, it was strong enough to injure even an Overgod . Furthermore, there was no one but them in this wasteland and coincidentally stumbling upon Arthur and Lucy could only mean that they were one of the fighting parties .
It was only through a fluke that they survived . Being a strong Body Cultivator, Jace felt the turbulent flow of Nether Energy and opted for a quick retreat, trying to get as far away from the source of the fluctuation as possible .
It turned out to be that his decision was life-saving, however, they never thought they’ll find their past ’companions’ here .
...
South-West of the Secret Realm, there was a cross-legged old man silently meditating . There was some dried blood scattered around him, cleary the signs of injuries .
His body didn’t look injured but there were serious burn marks which can only be healed if he goes back to the clan . Only after half a day did the butler finish healing himself and recover 80% of his strength . Unlike the unconscious couple, he had a Celestial Body which was able to withstand the arrow despite suffering some injuries .
’That strange flame... I’ve never seen it before . ’
He circulated his Nether Energy and examined the burns marks only to feel both heat and cold, making him confused . After a short while, a shocked expression appeared on his aged and scarred face .
’W-wait! Could it be?’
Just the thought of fusion two opposed attributes is absurd, to say the least . The old man was able to speculate such only due to the burns marks on his chest . The two attributes were peacefully coexisting and even complementing each other .
The continuous stinging pain reminded him of that fearful arrow . There was also that poisonous fog which is deadly even for a Overgod is he’s exposed to it for a long time .
’They were only Sovereigns... I think the Madam won’t be pleased about the presence of that man near her daughter . It’s becoming much more troublesome . ’
An hour later, the old man finally stood up . He was sure that the couple was still inside the Secret Realm, as for their location, he didn’t know, for now .
...
Only after three days did the couple finally wake up . Arthur woke up four hours before his wife but he accompanied her and never left the tent .
’The arrow managed to fling him far away but it certainly didn’t kill him . You must leave immediately . It’ll be easier to escape from him in Green-Leaf . ’-Claud
Arthur didn’t argue with his copy and promised to leave as soon as Lucy woke up . Fortunately, neither of them was heavily injured . The last attack emptied their Nether Energy pool and Mental Power thus weakening them mentally and the explosion knocked them unconscious .
Lucy, who was soundlessly sleeping, suddenly woke up while profusely sweating . She looked around and only felt relieved after seeing a smiling Arthur .
He caressed her hair and reassured her they’re safe . She seemed to have had a nightmare, probably about their last fight .
"Where are we?"
After tightly hugging him for a few minutes, Lucy curiously asked . Once she spread her sense, she came to know the identity of their ’saviors’ .
"What a coincidence, huh . "
Arthur was also surprised when he sensed Jace and the others . He never thought he’s see them again yet they were actually ’picked up’ by these body cultivators .
As the couple left their tent, the five others were startled . They just gazed at the two of them without saying a thing . After a bout of silence flowed between the two parties, Jace cleared his throat and talked
"Hahaha I’m glad you two are fine . Come come... eat with us!"
He walked up to them and handed each of them some freshly-roasted meat . Body cultivators heavily relied on the meat of God Beats as it greatly benefits them .
Arthur and Lucy didn’t refuse, they sat with the rest and enjoyed the delicious meat . The mood lightened and the awkwardness disappeared as Jace started rambling about his achievements, he even boasted about his recent breakthrough . The muscular man is officially a peak God body cultivator, an existence that can even content with Peak Sovereigns .
"What’s the situation in here?"
Hearing Arthur’s question, Jace grinned and gave an honest reply
"After the explosion and the disappearance of the spatial restriction . Everyone regained their cultivations and were able to safely leave the secret realm . Some, like us, decided to stay here a bit more to try and obtain a few more treasures but the condition of the world is worsening every day . It seems the Space Dragon is finally given birth and from the looks of it... it’s about to abandon this world . "
Even without Jace telling him, Arthur noticed the intense spatial fluctuations . It’s very similar to what happened to Bucama’s world but this time, the process is much slower .
This world is crumbling due to the damage it suffered and the loss of the dragon’s energy support .
"We’re going to leave very soon, what about you?"
Arthur was grateful and had already changed his opinion about Jace and his simple comrades . This muscular black man didn’t like leeches and only relied on strong people which is why he didn’t like them when they were disguising .
He was a simplistic muscle-brain, more or less . Jace’s group was planning to go back after roaming for a bit but after finding the couple, they were forced to camp for a few days . Bringing the unconscious couple through a spatial tunnel could prove to be difficult and dangerous .
In the end, they decided to go back together after conversing for a bit . It took them twenty minutes to ready themselves and store their scattered tents...
Leaving the Secret Realm isn’t hard now that the restriction is gone . A cultivator needs a stone called Spatial Stone, it can open small Spatial Tunnels which send anyone who enters it to a world linked with the one you’re already in .
However, Jace and the rest didn’t need to use the stone since Arthur was here . His mastery of Space Magic was high enough to create Spatial Tunnels .
They stood behind the grey-haired man, who raised his hand then clutched his fist, shattering the space and creating a smooth tunnel .
After repeatedly thanking Arthur, they stepped inside the tunnel, disappearing from the couple’s sight . Arthur and Lucy glanced at the half-destroyed Secret Realm for one last time before vanishing .
...
Back inside the dragon’s lair, most of the cultivators left . With the exception of Arthur, the ghost, and the dragon . There was one group of cultivators still roaming the large cave .
It was Elo Huo and his close brothers, the one-armed youngster was busy fighting a creepy grey-skinned monster which was protecting a very small pond .
This was Huo’s goal from the very beginning . It is said that the water of this pond can purify everything, including the Dark Magic inside of his body . He just wants to force the Dark Magic outside of his body so he can regrow that lost limb with a special liquid he acquired after accumulating wealth for five years .
Although the monster they were fighting was at the God Monarch Realm, they fought together and refused to abandon Elo Huo, who, despite losing an arm, was decently strong .
The Phoenix flames raged inside that room, melting the walls and scorching the screeching monster .
...
Unlike earlier, Arthur wasn’t fighting the ghost . The bandaged man backed away and remained motionless, waiting for Arthur . His goal was more or less achieved as Arthur promised to follow him to meet the Whisperer King . It wasn’t the same ’Arthur’ the king wanted but it mattered not to the ghost .
Not even once did the ghost glance at the mountain of treasures behind the weakened dragon . He wasn’t interested in them and for a ghost, they rarely relied on material objects .
At last, the Space Dragon finished giving birth . A cute and small silver dragon which was squeaking laid next to its mother .
The mother tenderly rubbed her head on the little dragon, forcing it stand up . After several failed attempts of walking, the newborn finally succeeded . As much as she wanted to accompany her child, the Space Dragon still pushed it toward the waiting Arthur and said
"It’s time..."
Arthur crouched down and picked up the cute silver dragon, which wasn’t hostile toward him . It licked his face while trying to flap its minuscule wings .
As she stared her baby, the Space Dragon
"Born from a Geo Space Dragon and an Empyrian Lightning dragon, thy name will be Yamak . "
Still holding the baby dragon, Arthur respectfully bowed and said
"Yamak it shall be . I will make sure he becomes a powerful dragon . "
He gazed at the mother for some time before noticing several Time Wraiths circling above the dragon . He bowed again and added
"Now then, if you’ll excuse me . "
He waved his hand, creating a dark spatial tunnel and stepped inside, followed right after by the ghost...
