Rean and Kentucky moved to the same Great Void Shifter they used before. After a quick check on the Void Chart they had in their CDs, the system activated, and the Black Tunnel appeared again. They entered it, disappearing inside before the tunnel closed.
There was no straight path to A7 there, so they had to first go to Universe D41. Only from there were they able to take another Great Void Shifter to go to A7. The good thing was that they could use both Sister Orb and Soltrex to make sure they always arrived in abandoned or destroyed Great Void Shifters, not catching anyone’s eyes.
But then, on the way to A7...
[Warning! Abyssal Path damaged! Forced exit imminent!]
"Uh?" That was the first time Rean and the others heard that. Could Abyssal Paths be damaged? That was definitely something new.
A black tunnel appeared in the middle of nowhere, with Rean, Kentucky, and Beelzebub coming out of it a moment later. They were now in the Great Void, where you wouldn’t see anything for who knows how many light-years... or so it was supposed to be.
However...
*bzzzzz!*
"Shit!"
Rean’s cultivation was immediately released, and his Crystal Void Swords took form just in time to block!
*KABRUMM!!!*
The power behind that attack was incredible, which launched Rean backwards like a meteor.
Rean wasn’t the only one. Kentucky also got hit by something, and several of his Blade Feathers and Scales broke. He couldn’t help but cough up some blood as he stabilized himself.
No doubt they were attacked by Celestials just now. Still, there was no time to think about it. That’s because they barely received the first attacks, and another two Peak Stage Celestials appeared behind them, exactly where their bodies were sent!
*Zush!*
’Death World Domain!’
’Red Death, Death Cross!’
*Zush!*
’Energy Draining Domain!’
’Full Energy Repel!’
Well, what to expect? Roan and Celis saw what happened, and they immediately left the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, blocking the attackers who tried to take Rean and Kentucky by surprise.
*Clang, Swash, Boom!!!*
"Tch..." Roan managed to counter the enemy, but he didn’t gain an immediate advantage. His Crystal Void Scythes were stronger than the enemy’s claws, but the guy made up for it with pure energy and skill. Roan and the Demon Beast in front of him didn’t waste time and started their battle.
"You won’t escape this time!" The enemy who attacked Rean shouted as multicolored butterflies appeared everywhere.
Rean immediately recognized the butterflies. He met the guy back when they tried to free the Primordial Demon Beast in the Rank B Universe. At that time, Rean, Roan, and Celis were ’killed’, which forced the System’s Body Reformation Skill to activate and rebuild their bodies. Later, Kentucky pretended to try to flee from the Universe, luring the experts away while Rean, Roan, and Celis took the chance to get the Primordial Demon Beast.
"Raio, you sure don’t know when to give up, now do you?!" Rean shouted back.
’Life World Domain!’
’Red Life, Enhancement!’
*Kabrum!*
Rean didn’t hold back, nor could he. Just a single look around, and he could tell that Roan, Celis, and Kentucky were also stuck in their battles. These guys were all Balance Breakers, just like the twins’ group.
Rean arrived in front of Raio in an instant!
’Red life, Lightning Emperor Sword!’
*Ziu!*
*Pft!*
Rean’s Crystal Void Swords pierced through Raio’s body, but suddenly, his body burst into many more of those multicolored butterflies. Rean didn’t stop, though. His Bright Red Lightning burst in all directions, destroying the butterflies.
Still, Rean saw a few spots on his arms also becoming multicolored.
’Life Style, Purification!’
Roan’s Dark Element circulated with Rean’s Celestial Dark Laws through the spots, destroying marks completely. Then, Rean turned to the side, just in time to block two daggers that also had that multicolored appearance.
*Clang, clang!*
Rean and Raio got themselves locked in place, both forcing their weapons forward.
"How the hell are you even alive? I’m sure I destroyed you completely!" Rain commented, his power building up more and more.
"Hmph!" Rean snorted in response. "Kill me? That was nothing but a play. Or could it be you don’t remember how we tricked you into leaving the Universe? Hahaha!"
"You!" Raio was fuming!
That was a lie. Yes, the twins’ group tricked Raio and his companions, but that was not the plan back then. They truly lost pretty badly. However, there was also a reason for their terrible loss.
"By the way, where are the rest of the Balance Breakers? And your other friends?" Rean asked. His Divine Sense and Natural Spatial Perception were spread from the moment the battle started. Yet, he could only see the four Balance Breakers here. Back then, ten of the Balance Breakers appeared together, plus a huge number of lower-level Celestials. That was another reason for Rean, Roan, and Celis to ’die’ there.
"Ha!" Raio laughed. "Who needs them? We are more than enough!"
Then, Raio’s body rotated, and his leg kicked forward!
Too bad that using one’s body for battle was something Roan drilled into Rean’s mind as well. Rean lifted his knee, blocking the kick before it could gain momentum!
*Bang!*
Not too far from there, Roan was quickly gaining the advantage.
