Chapter 2976: Unexpected Chance
"Look!" Someone pointed downward, and near a few Sunlight Beasts, the twins' group could see a few corpses. However, they were at the forefront of their Saint Realm and similar groups, so those corpses couldn't be from them. Rean had noticed that before, he just didn't
mention it.
'Rean,' Klifon called his attention, 'Aren't those Elemental Transformation Realm experts?'
Rean shrugged. 'Probably. However, that doesn't mean the Sunlight Beasts here are strong. It's just that their numbers are really high. Why do you think I found this small window for us to pass through without attracting too many of those beasts? That's because the experts who came in first created it.'
'Oh...' Klifon understood. Now that he was this close, he could tell the Sunlight Beasts down there were indeed somewhere around the Soul Transformation or Saint Realm level in power. It would be weird if they managed to kill Elemental Transformation Realm experts that easily.
'Alright, focus,' Rean urged. 'This window won't last long as the Sunlight Beasts seem to roam around randomly. Now, fly eleven degrees to your right and go straight for two kilometers.'
Klifon's attention came back to the task ahead as he 'guided' Riana and the others. At some point, Riana noticed that the sound of battles started to fall behind, showing that her group was indeed pulling ahead in this exploration. "Well done, Klifon. If our Parton Sect acquires the Sun Urpin Cultivation technique, we will definitely give you a copy."
Klifon nodded with a serious expression, still flying according to Rean's instructions.
This situation continued for around an hour. This was still the same path that connected the entrance to the Sunlight Realm further ahead, having the same five kilometers in extension all the way. Now and then, they bumped into more corpses of other cultivators or experts from other races. Fortunately, that was also the path with the least amount of Sunlight Beasts. Their Spiritual Senses couldn't go very far, different from Rean, who had no issues with it. If they could see what Rean was seeing, they would have noticed the mountain of corpses not too far from the line they were using.
*Swish!*
Riana's saber cut through the core of another Sunlight Beast, making its Sunlight Energy dissipate in the surroundings. Not far from her, a wall of bright yellow light could be seen. Even she couldn't miss that thing with her limited sight. "That should be the exit. The Sunlight Realm is right after that."
Everyone got excited, especially since their small group of not more than a few tens of experts still hadn't lost a single member. There was one injury here and there, but nothing serious. Everyone glanced ahead at Klifon, feeling glad they got the perfect Sun Urpin to guide them. Klifon couldn't help but feel his face burning... even more than when he cultivated with Sunlight Energy. It wasn't him, it wasn't him at all! Not that he would tell the others about it, though. "Ahem... seems like the wall is almost devoid of Sunlight Beasts. There are a lot of corpses from the previous experts, though. The previous two groups must have cleared the area before going through it." Or so Rean informed him.
Falatis, who was still following them, cut down a lonely Sunlight Beast before looking at the wall of bright yellow light in front. "Lady Diana, what do we do? Should we traverse it?"
Riana narrowed her eyes. It was good they were the first ones to arrive here in the third batch of groups. However, that also meant they would have to test things ahead on their own. She then glanced at Rean and Roan, wondering if she should just force them ahead. However, Klifon had been doing an amazing job, so forcing his friends to take the risk might jeopardize things instead.
"Okay, let me go through first and check it," Rean... Jerry suddenly said.
Klifon was taken aback again. 'You don't need to do it. They won't force you while I'm still their guide.'
Rean faintly smiled. 'Don't worry, the other side is safe. Just trust me.'
Without waiting for a response, Rean crossed the yellow wall, appearing on the other side. Immediately, the extremely bright environment disappeared. It was still day in here even though outside was nighttime. Nonetheless, it was at a normal level. "Still, there is a lot of Sunlight Energy here, even more than in the path leading to this place," Rean murmured to himself.
"Hum?" It was then that he noticed a few cultivators flying in his direction. They were trying to hide from his perception. Too bad that trying to do such a thing against a Peak Divinity Realm Soul was nothing but wishful thinking. Above all, Rean could see the Red Color of Killing Intent.
'Without a doubt, they are people from the previous group of Elemental Transformation Realm experts. Hum... Oh, I see. They stayed behind to ambush the Saint Realm and below experts who came after the second group. It is a good plan since the first groups to emerge are bound to be among the best ones. That also means they would have quite a few valuables in their spatial rings.'
Rean pondered a bit and faintly smiled. 'Hehe! And here I was, trying to find a way to separate from Riana's people. Seems like I got our chance.'
Without thinking twice, Rean flew back into the wall leisurely. He acted as if he didn't see anything strange at all. Once on the other side, he spoke to Riana. "Lady Riana, the other side is a lot easier to see, but there is more Sunlight Energy as well. My Spiritual Sense can't go more than a few meters in there, too, so I can't be certain if there aren't any threats."
Riana sighed in relief. Not only she didn't have to ask someone else to check, but it turned out everything was fine. "Alright, everyone, keep your guards high. He checked the path ahead for us, so we have no reason to cower here. Be ready for anything."
Finally, their group crossed the barrier.
