Running straight in the borders between the two territories, Jason and Jennifer didn't have any time to look back., They had to flee from the fighting beasts as well as the several hundred mana fluctuations that were pursuing them.
The bigger problem was definitely the fact that two powerful powerhouses were bound to fight against each other at any moment.
Jason had yet to see the beast the Earth Dragon would fight, but there was no way that its opponent was weak.
He could deduce this based on the fact that the Earth Dragon seemed to be nervous, owing to its mana and primordial energy fluctuations.
Other than that, the energy fluctuations of the beast to his right were extremely powerful and different to the three normal cultivation paths.
This meant that the beast used a different type of energy that was most likely merged using at least two of the three existing major cultivation energies.
In the end, this was only logical because Jason couldn't perceive any other type of energy in the surrounding area.
However, even though he hadn't seen the beast yet, or sensed its distinct energy fluctuations, Jason was sure that its energy was somewhat familiar.
At least that was what he thought when he halted in his tracks after they had put a distance of more than two kilometers between themselves and the Earth-Dragon.
Jason was sure that this was barely any distance to not be embroiled in their battle but he had to ensure something first.
By inserting divine energy and moonlight transmuted mana inside his Emperor Eyes, he also released his Celestia aura and activated the Stigma.
This allowed his eyesight to be close to perfect to clearly see up to a radius of more than five kilometers.
Using his vision allowed him to perceive the hundreds of mana fluctuations from the other side with much higher precision.
But that was not all.By sensing the somewhat familiar energy fluctuations of the beast with his eyes that were slowly being unveiled, he recalled something.
"The true dragon?" Jason mumbled. His memory told him that the current energy fluctuations were similar to the time he had fought the mysterious puppet that had bound the soul of a true dragon to it.
Confused, he continued to stare in the direction of the beast that had finally shown up for the battle.
It was enveloped by a distinct semi-translucent membrane that enveloped its body tightly, while the contours of the most important parts took on a partially translucent purplish color.
Yet, what confused Jason was that he could see through the translucent mass. It was as if the beast was completely transparent and Jason could clearly see the things that lay behind the beast.
As such, by looking at it, Jason was able to see the greenery behind the beast, which caused him to exclaim in great astonishment.
"A Soul! It's a soul…how the hell is that possible?!"
Seeing how a ginormous, fifteen-meter large four-armed gorilla was running through the dense and tall trees that could barely reach its calves was enough to terrify anyone out of their wits.
In fact, the semi-translucent mass was the gorilla itself, while Jason had no idea of the purpose of the contours.
Whether they had a specific motive, or only strengthened the four-armed gorilla was unknown. If he were to think of a specific motive, it would probably be making the manifested soul more visible but that was it.
It might even be a special trait, but that was definitely not something Jason could know for sure because he had witnessed such a being only once.
And that was when he was inside the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant, which was a place that was created by the primordial races for their descendants!
With that in mind, the Gorilla that was using the same odd energy as the true dragon soul could be considered as something extraordinary.
At this moment, Jason recalled the last words of Linus, which caused him to understand something that was previously hidden from him.
"That's a wandering soul…I guess? So, does that mean there are more of them?"
He was not sure about his assumption, but seeing how the Four-armed gorilla used the unique energy that enveloped its body,, he couldn't help but feel intimidated.? It had a faint purplish tint and had transformed its appearance by a slight margin
Its features became sharper, making the gorilla look more formidable.
It was almost as if it was suddenly wearing an armor, and was ready to fight against Gods, but had to face the puny Earth-Dragon.
After emerging out of the forest, the four-armed gorilla catapulted itself into the air as four balls of compressed energy manifested in its hands.
As the gorilla threw them towards the Earth Dragon, it saw the Earth Dragon's shrunken body inflate slightly. This allowed it to become the same towering appearance like before.
In retaliation to the four compressed balls of energy that flew towards it, the Earth Dragon shot seveal earth spikes towards the incoming attacks.
Unfortunately, the properties of the compressed energy balls were too destructive, turning the earth spikes into pieces of loose chunks of soil before anything else could happen.
This clearly showed the difference in strength between the two parties. It angered the Earth dragon, forcing it to retaliate as it opened its maw widely.
Mana and primordial energy were gathered inside its mouth, taking a brownish color as the Earth Dragon's affinity transmuted both merging energies. It then fired those towards the compressed energy balls, destroying them with the beam of transmuted earth mana and primordial energy.
The two beasts had yet to enter a close combat clash, or each other's territory, but Jason's eyes were already aching due to the enormous energy currents that were filling the surroundings.
In fact, the distance between the Earth Dragon, and the wandering soul of the four-armed Gorilla was more than two kilometers, yet, they were already fighting fiercely against each other.
Utilizing their cultivation energies as some sort of long-range weapons, they devastated the surrounding, causing strong wind currents to brush past Jason's face.
These simple wind currents were almost strong enough to force him to retreat, lose his balance, and fall on the ground.
This was shocking, and it didn't take much effort for him to understand that the battle in front of them was something normal Specta stage powerhouses could accomplish.
Because of that, he began to retreat, knowing that the two-kilometer distance from the Earth Dragon was not enough.
In fact, it was not even close to enough, which was something they could see clearly.
Meanwhile, their pursuers were unable to come close to them, which gave Jason and Jennifer the time to flee.
However, at the same time, he didn't want to leave because his eyes were glued to the wandering soul.
Something about it made his soul world core itch, which hadn't happened since forever.
There were times when the soul world core had reacted, and every single time it had told him something special. He could vividly recall the core telling him that the crystal in which Solaris had been stored was something he had to bind to his soul.
As such, he didn't want to run away from the wandering soul, but before he was able to do anything, Jennifer had already dragged him along.
She could feel that Jason was reluctant to leave and engrossed in watching the battle, but she couldn't let him risk their lives, not when there could be astray attacks or their pursuers closing in on them.
With that in mind, she ignored Jason's urge to stay back and flew into the air. Two sets of wings sprouted out of her back as she exerted her movement technique, flying away with the highest speed she could attain.
This way they finally left the battlefield behind.
Soon enough, Jason was bound to learn many things about his soul world and possibly the truth behind the soul world awakening!
