Chapter 2977: Leaving the Area
They crossed the barrier and saw the new scenario. Even though there was even more Sunlight Energy, they could barely manage it. Rean and Roan obviously didn't feel any issues. The
world around was not as one would imagine, though.
With this amount of Sunlight Energy, you would think no life would be able to flourish here. However, there was no lack of plants and trees everywhere they looked at. It's just that the life here was a little different. Everything had different hues of yellow.
Klifon looked at the plants right below and couldn't get but grow excited. 'Such rich and clean Sunlight Energy... it is perfect for my cultivation.'
He couldn't absorb the Sunlight Energy in the surroundings as it was not the same as real Sunlight. If anything, the Sunlight Energy from the Sunlight Realm was quite harmful to Sun Urpins. The only good thing was that the Sun Urpins were naturally resistant to it.
The plants and trees were another story, though. They seemed to be able to purify the Sunlight Energy they absorbed and store it in their bodies.
Rean and Roan ignored all of that, though. Instead, they glanced in a specific direction and waited for the right moment. 'There come our friends.'
Suddenly, a flash of purple light appeared near Riana, taking her by surprise. She quickly moved her saber to block it, but the power behind the attack was much higher than what she could take in her Saint Realm. Riana was sent flying while coughing blood, surviving by a thread.
Similar situations happened all around. Several of the Saint Realm experts, including Falatis, were aimed at in the worst moments. Five of them perished in the very first attack, with the rest not faring much better off.
The only advantage of Riana's group was that they had around forty members or so, while the assailants were only fifteen. Nonetheless, they were all Elemental Transformation Realm experts with no emblems on their clothes. No doubt they were vagrant cultivators who didn't care about the repercussions of their actions.
Those below the Saint Realm immediately spread, trying to run away. Since the Saint Realm experts were being targeted, they might try to use that chance to escape this area. Too bad that idea only lasted for a moment.
The Saint Realm experts were already suffering to barely resist the Sunlight Energy concentration of this place, let alone them. They were being protected by their stronger seniors, and once they left the range of their protection, the Sunlight Energy began to enter their bodies despite them using all their strength to resist it.
Since they could flee ahead, only one other option remained. They flew back into the bright wall. At the very least, the Sunlight Energy on the other side was still bearable for them.
*Zash, zush, zush, zush...*
Yet, every single one of them was taken by surprise when more cultivators appeared. These ones were also in the Elemental Transformation Realm, but at the Initial and Middle Stage only. Because of the little difference in cultivation, they didn't attack the Saint Realm experts and focused on preventing those weaker from fleeing.
Another attack came in Rian's direction, forcing her to grit her teeth and pull out an item from her Spatial Ring. The item shined with blue light for a moment, creating a barrier of Water Element around her. The attack hit it, and its power diminished. Nonetheless, it did stop the attack of the Peak Stage Elemental Transformation Realm expert.
She then used the power of the strike to shoot into the distance, ignoring everyone else. The Parton sect wasn't exactly known for being united. Riana couldn't care less if the others died as long as she survived.
She wasn't the only one. Falatis also used a different item, although this one had Spatial Properties to it. In a moment, his body flashed with silver light before disappearing. It was some kind of teleportation talisman. Falatis was lucky. Because he was a Saint Realm Expert in the Middle Stage only, he was not targeted straight away. Otherwise, he definitely would have been able to activate that talisman in time.
None of the opponents found it strange, nor did they care too much. It was only natural some would manage to escape, specially with the difference in numbers. They only had to prevent one thing: They couldn't let anyone go back into the wall and warn the next groups. Otherwise, their profits would be a lot worse.
There was another reason they were carrying out this operation... they lost their Sun Urpin on the way here. Sun Urpins already proved to be of great help to avoid and detect danger, so continuing forward without one wasn't ideal. They intended to capture this group's Sun Urpin. Since this group was the first one to come out of the entrance path, their Sun Urpin was bound to be quite good, too.
"Hum?" Yet, it was at that moment that their leader noticed something. "Fuck! Where the hell is the Sun Urpin that just came in?!" Even though Spiritual Sense was severely restricted, he should be close enough to feel its presence... or so he was supposed to. Unfortunately for him, the Sun Urpin truly just disappeared without anyone noticing.
Around a kilometer away from that place, two youngsters and a Sun Urpin suddenly appeared out of thin air. No, they were still invisible to anyone trying to look from the outside. Yet, they could see everything that was happening not far away. "Even in the Werdlem Empire, things still follow the cultivation world rules," Rean commented with a sigh.
With their cultivations, there was no need for Rean and Roan to even bother with the attack. They simply didn't have a cultivation high enough to make the enemy target them first. The twins waited for a moment when no one would be paying much attention to them and used Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill. The Skill was still active, and the twins left the area easily.
