Death… and me

On the side of Blansin’s group, they naturally noticed Erla’s group joining Roan, Kentucky, and Celis’s. Blansin, of course, was given a heads up of what was happening, but the mercenaries didn’t know.

One of the mercenaries looked at the leader of their group. “Hume, it’ll be difficult to deal with all those guys. Should we pass on this test and wait for the next one?”

Hume checked their cultivations with his Divine Sense. Other than Erla and Krikei, the other six demon beasts in Kentucky and Celis’ group were all in the Void Tempering Realm. It meant that Rean and Roan’s group now had eight Void Tempering Realm participants. However… “No need. The strongest demon beast there is only at the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. Ritre and I are both at the peak of the Void Tempering Realm. With the two of us there, the others will pose no risk to us. As for the Transition Realm guys in their groups, they’re obviously not a threat at our cultivation realms.”

Ritre, the other Peak Void Tempering Realm mercenary, agreed with Hume. “He’s right. We will need to find Sense Seeds first. With our group’s strength, we should be able to collect them faster than Erla’s group, though. It’ll be even easier to capture Erla and receive the reward from those guys outside.”

Blansin nodded in response. “Since you guys have decided to try it out, I’ll also follow you. Erla must be captured alive, understood?”

Hume smiled in response. “That will be easy.”

With that, they also joined the other groups to enter the Null Senses Realm.

Since the twins’ huge group joined together, their badges allowed them to be teleported into the same random location. Sure enough, everyone stopped hearing, seeing, feeling, and tasting. In the zone where they were at the moment, the only sense available was smell. However, it didn’t matter. That’s because they already had a plan.

Roan poured Divine Energy into his badge, and sure enough, he felt the location of the other members of his group. Soon after…

‘Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!’

Immediately, the Shadow Binds took form and grabbed everyone in the group. The demon beasts in the group were all in their human form, so it was extremely easy for Roan to pull them over with his strength. However, he wasn’t the one pulling. Instead, he left the pulling for Luan to do.

Back in the Jhiod Sect’s room for elders, they watched with a puzzled expression as Luan was pulled into the test with Rean and Roan. “Why would they bring a weakling at the Saint Realm to the test?” Libraia asked.

Govin shook his head, saying, “There are no rules saying that people below the Transition Realm can’t take part in the tests. However, no one at such a level would take the risk. This young boy must have some special ability for the twins to be using him in the Null Senses test.”

Iglet was curious about something else, though. “In any case, where did this boy come from? I hadn’t noticed his presence until the last moment before the test started.”

Libraia and Govin shook their heads in response. They also didn’t know how Luan suddenly appeared there. “Anyway, let’s wait and see what happens.”

In the test, Luan’s three pupils immediately started to work. Yes, normal sight was blocked in this test, but Luan had three different types of pupils, not just one. He could also see the Elements and Divine Energy of the environment. Although everything was dark in the light-related view, he could clearly see through his Divine Energy and Elements pupils. ‘There it is!’

Roan’s mission for Luan was very simple. As soon as they entered the Null Senses Realm, he would use his vision to:

First: Avoid other cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits.

Second: Find the Sense Seeds.

Third: Pull everyone together once Roan bound them with the Shadow Binds.

Luan didn’t have Rean and Roan’s Third Grade Star Body, but he did have one at First Grade. With his Divine Energy, he also had the strength to pull everyone since the others wouldn’t move.

The way to find the Sense Seeds changed in each zone. The Sight Zone obviously allowed one to see. The Smell Zone’s Sense Seed gave a peculiar smell one could follow. The Touch Zone’s Seed would have a different feeling if touched. The Taste Zone was the weirdest since one could only taste things. Nevertheless, some demon beast races could use their sense of taste to guide themselves. Obviously, the Sound Zone’s Seed would emit a sound for others to find it.

However, Luan didn’t need anything like that. All the seeds were obviously full of Divine Energy and other properties that allowed one to recover their senses. For Luan, they looked like big suns in the darkness. Luan quickly pulled the entire group with Roan’s Shadow Bind and arrived at the side of the first seed faster than anyone else. Not only that, but he also avoided any possible groups around them.

Rean and Roan could feel the smell of the seed, so they didn’t need an invitation to take it. It was decided that Roan would be the first, so he quickly grabbed it and began to absorb the seed. Ten minutes later, Roan’s sense of touch was back. ‘Touch, uh? If it was sight, it would have been much better.’

Nevertheless, it was a great start. And just like that, Luan pulled the entire group to the next seeds while avoiding any zones with groups. There were weird battles happening everywhere due to the restrictions of each zone, but none of them mattered for the twins’ group.

Eventually, on the third seed, Roan’s vision was recovered. He then looked at Luan after that. ‘His eyes are truly enviable…’

Roan then used the badge to tell Luan that he could continue. However, it was Roan pulling everyone this time around since he could now tell the directions with his vision.

And in that fashion, the twins’ group began to recover their senses.
