Chapter 1103: Follow My Lead
Chapter 1103: Follow My Lead
There were only a few seconds remaining before those floating outside the stream fell. However, it was also around this time that everyone noticed a problem. There were many streams, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, there were 780850 participants! There weren’t enough streams for everyone!
No one wanted to fall, so chaos quickly ensued. While trying to follow the stream, everyone was attacking the other powers. The ones that suffered most were obviously the smaller countries.
Holang Country immediately used its full force to claim three streams for themselves. The members of the Samira Sect from that country took the lead, making sure to support each other. They showed no mercy either. Anyone who tried to enter their streams was immediately assaulted by all their members at once.
The Klacks Country used a different approach, though. They killed many members of a few small countries and forced the rest of the survivors to work for them. Some members of the Klacks Country even had some manipulation skills that robbed their opponents of their free will, transforming them into momentaneous puppets. Obviously, they looked at those who had Wind Element Affinity or those that had good methods of moving through the stream.
They didn’t stop there, though. They used that chance to eliminate as much competition as possible. Even before the power keeping everyone afloat outside the stream ended, their members had already killed at least a thousand. Of course, that’s also because everyone was still very close together, so it was easier to reach others.
Unsurprisingly, the other countries around them tried to keep their distance from those guys. Then again, that only contributed to the chaos as even less space was available for everyone.
The Tenke Kingdom was another country that no one tried to mess around with. No one underestimated it just because it had mostly women among them. Well, there were a few men there as well. The Tenke Kingdom was all about respect. As long as others respected them, they wouldn’t treat others poorly. That’s why a few men who were very good at Yin Energy could be found in the middle.
As for the country with the highest number of streams under their control…it was pretty obvious. Huring Country took a total of ten streams for themselves! The army of Saint Realm cultivators was very imposing. However, they seemed to not care about the others at all. First of all, no one tried to rob them of their streams. They had a very lackadaisical time getting their positions.
The Kamos Kingdom wasn’t exactly united. However, they understood after watching the others that trying to fight with their own background friends alone wouldn’t work. With that said, all the powers of the Kamos Kingdom, be it the Royal Family or the others, joined together. Rean’s group was obviously in the middle.
Unfortunately, they only had 250 members. From the very start, it became very hard to keep the stream they got inside as other small countries also attacked them.
Kalanda, Haera’s granddaughter, was one of the Peak Stage Saint Realm participants of Kamos Kingdom. She soon gritted her teeth before she used a Divine Sense Message to talk with the rest. ‘Everyone, this won’t work for much longer. We don’t have enough strength to defend this stream.’
‘Let’s ask the other countries of our Yukirrom Region to join forces with us,’ Finral could not help but suggest.
Welliton immediately denied the idea. ‘It won’t work! When we went to take this stream, the others went for other streams as well. They’re too far away for us to reach. These streams are moving randomly!’
Kalanda gritted her teeth before saying, ‘It seems like we have no other choice. We need to ally with one of these random countries and hope it works.’
However, just as she was about to do that, everyone received a Divine Sense Message from Roan. ‘There’s no need.’
Before anyone could ask…
‘Death World!’
Roan’s Death World spread through the surroundings, immediately making it impossible to see what was happening inside if one didn’t use Divine Sense…well, not really. At the same time that Roan used his Death World, Rean activated his Divine Sense and Light bending skill. The light bending made what was already hard to see even more so. The Divine Sense bending still had its flaw where if one got close enough, one could pierce through it. However, one had to enter the Death World’s range to be close enough unless one’s cultivation was much higher than Rean’s.
At first, a few groups tried to jam inside, thinking to take advantage of the darkness as well. Unfortunately, the darkness only affected those who Rean and Roan wanted to. The members of the Kamos Kingdom could still see within the darkness. It was as if they had some nighttime camera in their eyes. Their Divine Senses were not blocked either.
“This…” Kalanda and the others were taken aback. In just a moment, the pressure around them reduced by at least 90%. The attacks coming to them were easy to defend, and their opponents had very slow reactions against their own attacks.
Roan then continued, ‘If you still fall out of the stream like that, then you can only blame yourself. Also, I don’t know how long this test will last, so I might have to turn off my skill later. Make sure you keep your Divine Energy Reserves as high as possible. From now on, follow my lead as we move with the stream. Anyone causing trouble will immediately be excluded.’
Roan might have threatened them, but not a single person there dared to rebuke. This was their chance to guarantee the passage through the first test of the Sacred Land. So what if they had to follow the orders of someone with smaller cultivation than theirs? Most of them didn’t even have the confidence to pass the first test to start with.
Cassia looked around the entire field, watching the action together with the Sacred Land elders and the guests behind. Eventually, the 30 seconds were up. “Turn off the floating formation outside the streams.”
