Chapter 801 - Barlo
Luvile was really happy to regain his body. However, the sealed space continued to collapse. That being said, they had to leave it before they were swallowed up by it. Well, with Luvile and Krune's power, they would at most be swept by the Spatial Storm and then thrown somewhere else. There wasn't really any risk of dying unless they were unlucky enough to fall into a black hole, which was nearly impossible considering the usual size of a Universe.
Of course, the best plan was for them to not need to find their way back, so they immediately left. Luvile quickly enveloped Krune in his Purple Tribulation Lightning before pulling him alongside. With Luvile's level of control, he could use Purple Tribulation Lightning without being afraid of injuring anyone.
Soon enough, they arrived at the entrance of the sealed space. However, just as they were about to leave, they noticed that the entrance gradually began to close. Not only that, but they couldn't find any trace of Soren, Feifei, or Heavin's power at the closing hole.
"Something's not right. Let's go."
The gap was too small for them to pass right now. However, Luvile did not think too much about it, snorting in response. Purple Tribulation Lightning burst out of his body before it struck the gap that was about to close. In an instant, the Sealed Space barrier was blasted away, not being able to offer any meaningful resistance. Luvile's own body was the foundation of the Sealed Space before. With that in mind, it was much weaker right now. Besides, he was controlling the Purple Tribulation Lightning instead of his body releasing its power randomly.
Outside the Sealed Space Barrier, purple light suddenly flashed before a ray of Purple Tribulation Lightning shot through it. Not long after, Krune and Luvile exited the Sealed Space. However, the very moment they stepped outside, a sudden attack came in their direction.
"Courting death!"
Luvile's body exploded with the power of Purple Tribulation Lightning as he counter-attacked.
"Tribulation Blast!"
*Boom!*
An enormous shockwave of energy followed, forcing Krune to bring out his shields to protect himself. Luvile's attack was far above what he could do with Purple Tribulation Lightning in the past, hence the shockwave alone was already very dangerous.
Even with the Myriad Lightning Shields protecting him, Krune was still sent flying back several kilometers before he finally could stabilize himself. He quickly spread his Mental Energy to check the current situation and found out what had happened.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
Feifei and Heavin were nowhere to be found. As for Soren, he was in the middle of an intense fight against some kind of black fog. The moment he and Luvile came out, that black fog noticed their presence and attacked. That's why Luvile attacked back.
Following that, Krune received a Mental Energy Message from Soren.
'Krune, I sent Heavin and Feifei into my Spatial Dimension, so they're fine. However, this battle is far above your level. Get away from here.'
At the same time, Soren talked with Luvile.
'Help me deal with this guy. I alone am not enough.'
Luvile nodded.
'Gotcha! Krune, step back.'
Purple Tribulation Lightning burst out of Luvile's body as he shot in the black fog's direction.
"Purple Extremity!"
Luvile's attack surpassed the barrier of laws, destroying everything in its path, even space. Seeing Luvile's offensive coming at him, the black fog immediately stopped its attack at Soren before changing its target.
"I recognize this power. You were that fucking piece of shit that locked me down there! Die!"
"Rampaging Darkness!"
The black fog expanded several times before it all concentrated into a single point that shot at Luvile's attack.
"Hmph! Your guts are huge to ignore this god!"
Soren, obviously, wouldn't just gawk as the enemy did what he wanted. Mental Energy with Fused Elements and Laws gathered around Soren. It turned into hundreds of thousands of small needle-like weapons that shone with black light in a fraction of a second.
"Soul Manifestation, Meteor Shower!"
Although Soren had changed the names of his cultivation realms, his own skills were still the same.
Soren didn't hold back as he attacked the being inside the black fog. All the Mental Needles came down at frightening speeds, aiming directly at it.
Luvile took the chance to discharge even more Purple Tribulation Lightning, increasing the power of Purple Extremity even more.
Whoever was inside that black fog understood that it was at severe risk. It immediately calmed down its anger and focused on defending against both attacks. The Dark Element attack that it used then divided into two. One kept charging at Luvile while the second went against Soren's Meteor Shower.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*
Space shattered everywhere for tens of thousands of kilometers as their attacks collided. Not only that, but the damage caused to space itself was far beyond anything the Luvile Universe had seen before. Because of that, the Luvile Universe itself began to be damaged.
Amidst the fight, a figure shot out of the area of destruction. This time, there was no black fog surrounding it, allowing them to finally see its appearance. It had a humanoid form. However, there were several black scales all over its body. As far as Krune could tell, it seemed to be a hybrid between humans and black dragons. It's just that it had several injuries over its body. Some of them flashed with Purple Lightning, while the others had Soren's needles attached to them. Sure enough, the person couldn't take the power of two gods on its own without any damage.
Luvile and Soren quickly came out as well. Unlike the dragon guy, Luvile and Soren were pretty much fine. Of course, they knew that they won that clash because they joined hands. Although they both restricted their power to not surpass the Mortal Realm's limit, they were still gods. The fact that the dragon guy could survive a pincer attack from them with only injuries was extraordinary.
"Is he another god? At least his power is similar to one."
Soren shook his head.
"I have no idea. He suddenly appeared and began to attack us for no reason. Before you appeared, we were fighting on even grounds. He definitely has a power level similar to gods at the very least. However, I don't remember any god that looks like him."
Luvile and Soren looked at the guy before asking.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you attacking us? Are you perhaps a subordinate of the Universe Powerhouses sent to deal with Krune?"
The dragon guy snorted after hearing that question. At the same time, he used his power of darkness to heal his injuries and eliminate Luvile and Soren's rampaging powers in his body.
"Ha! Universe Powerhouses? After so long, you still have something like that? Very well, I shall destroy all of them first as payment for keeping me locked down there for so long."
Luvile couldn't help but ask.
"Wait! Could it be that you're the so-called Evil Spirit sealed in this Universe's Underworld?"
The dragon guy laughed out loud when he heard that.
"Hahaha! Are you pretending to be dumb? There's no way you don't know me. After all, your Purple Lightning has been sealing my powers down there for countless Chaos Cycles."
Luvile snorted after hearing that.
"Hmph! This god would never waste his time sealing a Mortal Realm piece of shit like you. If not because my body and power were sealed against my will, do you think I would care about you? Don't get ahead of yourself, brat! This god here has just got his body back, so I couldn't care less about what happened to you. However, if you want to fight, this god will make sure to send you back to the underworld. However, only your soul will be making that travel."
The dragon guy narrowed his eyes as he said.
"Let me see if I got it correctly. You got your body sealed, and then its power was used to seal me?"
The expression on Luvile and the dragon guy's faces suddenly turned weird. For some reason, this sounded quite comical.
Soren sighed before saying.
"Alright. We can agree here that both you and Luvile here got sealed by the same cultivators and demon beasts back then. Luvile just got his body back, so the thing that has sealed your powers has also disappeared. Now, the two of you are free to go wherever you want. Let's start with...why the hell did you attack me? No, first of all, what's your name?"
The dragon guy couldn't tell whether Soren was telling the truth or not. However, he could tell that Luvile and Soren's real power was definitely not just at this level. It was apparent that they were doing the same thing as him. They were restricting their powers so that they won't be forced to ascend. Of course, that didn't mean he trusted Luvile and Soren.
"You can call me Barlo. At least that's what others called me back then. As for why I attacked you, isn't that obvious? The moment the seal broke, I immediately left and came after the thing that locked me down there. You just so happened to be here, so I thought you were part of whatever power that was keeping me down there. Why should I let you live after everything you've made me pass through?"
Soren and Luvile nodded. Now things have become clearer.
"You're wrong. Neither Luvile nor I want anything to do with you."
Luvile then decided to skim through what had happened so far until this point. From the moment his soul was trapped, to when he escaped with his soul alone, to the point where he recovered his body. Of course, he didn't talk about things he shouldn't.
Eventually, Barlo's hostility subsided a little. It seemed like they could finally talk things through.
