Chapter 358: The Inner Ridge
Chapter 358: The Inner Ridge
Zhun Lie had managed to catch the grey distortion in her vision. She clicked her teeth, saying, “Of course, he would have some experience. What Divine Mortal isn’t something alien? And it would seem he managed to use space laws so well that he directly went into the inner ridge!”
Zhun Kie furrowed his brows. His mental state was calmer now that he had time to think.
He needed to ponder as the Inner ridge was a place that even he had no choice but to worry about. He may live in a superior environment compared to the Thunderous Collision World, but that meant little when faced with a full mystic realm.
The dangerous occurrences here made great news in the Radiance World.
The inner-ridge of the Sea Collision realm wasn’t anything any type of genius could treat lightly. It’s far more dangerous than the outer ridge.
Over there, there had been numerous confirmed news of the death of powerful Great Divine Sea geniuses.
Furthermore, nobody had an accurate to counter the dangers within the Inner-ridge. It would ultimately depend on that youth’s luck, talent, and combat prowess.
Zhun Kie had no choice but to assess his and Lie’s abilities.
At this time, Zhun Lie threw her gaze back down towards the same abandoned island.
There they were, two battered bodies of the Ming Family youths.
Zhun Lie didn’t feel any sympathy. She only objectively thought about them for a moment and then said, “Say, should we do something about them? It would be troublesome if they started to spread some weird rumors about us. And if we finish them off, I don’t doubt they soul crystals to be an annoyance even after.”
“Oh? You think they actually have the balls to talk behind the Silver Moon’s backs?” Zhun Kie scoffed with disdain.
He quickly infused his voice with Divine Qi, making it loud enough for anyone a hundred meters around to hear. “Even if they do talk, suppressing such news is as easy as a flip of a hand for us. And the bearer of such news would experience a miserable life. A terrible trade-off, don’t you think? Actually, killing them would be troublesome, true. But, if they were to die all on their own, would that be considered our fault?”
A ruthless glint suddenly filled Zhun Lie’s eyes. She perfectly understood what to do next.
Waving her hands, she materialized two streams of crystal purple waters before sending them straight down the Ming Family youths’ heads!
The water streams smashed upon the defenseless youths’ heads but instead of killing them, it only put them both into a coma.
Zhun Kie nodded with approval. “Now, all of our basis are covered. So let’s go in and chase after this Divine Mortal. With our Master Grade weapons and Heavenly ranking talismans, I don’t believe we can’t capture him.”
The Zhun siblings mentally prepared themselves. They shed off any and all doubts, summoning their own pride as heaven-defying geniuses.
Then, they shot off in trails of lights towards the inner ridge, quickly entering it within moments.
The area quickly fell into silence.
Minutes soon passed with no movements from anybody here.
But around ten minutes later, two dark twinkles rippled within the skies.
Powerful Divine auras gushed out the ripples like unending oceanic waves. The dark flashes quickly cleared away, revealing two extraordinary youths.
These two had staggering tall heights that most people could only look up at them. Their presence was suffocating, exuding faint domineering sensation mortals could only bow to.
Their long, gorgeous black hairs flowed down their backs like flowing, righteous capes. These two youths’ most distinct features were the gleaming black dragon horns extending out of their forehead.
Naturally, such an appearance could only belong to the Dark Dragon Heavenly Great World’s greatest disciples, Lanwei and Yulong!
People from the Heavenly Great World had indeed infiltrated into the Sea Collision realm.
If the Ming family youths were still up, they would’ve collapsed from pure shock and reverence.
Lanwei and Yulong took a brief glance around the area. Their perceptive Divine Senses could detect the remnants of Qi energy aftershocks and a disturbance in Space Laws.
But above all, the Dark Dragons youths felt a genuine stirring from within their bloodstreams!
Their bloodlines pulsated as if they had felt something of tremendous interest.
A wide grin broke loose on Yulong’s beautiful face. “I can feel it…Huang Cain was here! And if we were to follow this trail…”
Yulong narrowed her gaze forward until settling on the grey mist miles ahead. Her once broad grin quickly morphed into a slight, worried frown.
“And it seems he must’ve gone into the inner-ridge already? That’s quite the daring move, right? Surely, there must’ve been more treasures around the outer ridge.”
Lanwei tossed his gaze towards one abandoned island, causally regarding the coma-induced Ming Family youths sprawled on the ground.
His mind worked at rapid speeds before saying, “Maybe it was a choice because of circumstances. Our blood tells us he definitely was here. So some kind of fight most likely occurred.”
“Tch. Really? I wonder just which Holy Land think their devious plans can actually win in the end?” Yulong spoke with complete disdain.
If somebody was actually trying to harm Divine Mortals, she had a high guess it could only be people like them, coming from higher realms.
Lanwei felt some disdain, but he did say, “These Holy Lands might really think they can win. After all, we don’t know what sorts of secret methods everyone has. In any case, as long as we’re careful, we don’t have to worry much about the inner ridge. Let’s go.”
The Dark Dragon disciples then quickly took off in streams of black lights, soaring directly towards the inner-ridge.
…
Through the grey mist of the Sea Collision realm, one would be directly transported into its inner ridge.
The inner ridge didn’t appear that much different from the outer. The only noticeable feature was a slightly darker tone covering the skies, abandoned islands, and seas.
But even with being darker, the crystalline luster covering nearly everything still shined brightly.
Many great dangers permeated the inner ridge. Nobody would tread here lightly.
But at this time, one youth, covered in a faint blue light, tore through the skies at high speed.
His aura seemed faint, yet his flight speed surpassed what a 5thfall Divine Origin genius can achieve.
Of course, this youth was Cain.
Cain spared no expense on his energy reserves and kept his vigilance entirely up.
Previously, he felt a palpable sense of pressure while briefly under the power of two 6thfall Divine auras. Just from that, Cain could precisely tell that wanting to suppress those Zhun siblings would be troublesome.
Even when defeating them in direct combat, those two can easily pullout other powerful items that can provide a powerful edge in battle. Furthermore, Divine realm cultivators are crafty.
Cain didn’t doubt the Zhun siblings would use the environment to their advantage if they were on the losing side.
All of this would’ve been greatly time-consuming.
And time here is limited.
Thus, Cain decided to shake off those youths and try his luck within the inner ridge.
Cain flew for around several minutes now. And he still didn’t choose any random island to explore. He was aware of the chilling news surrounding this place. Even he knows great danger can befall him if careless.
Before Cain knew it, he flew dozens of miles deep within the inner ridge.
It was finally around this waypoint did a sudden change occur.
Cain briefly paused, his Spirit Sense alerting him to great danger. This danger caused him to feel immense tightening within his chest. Even if he were to use his full power, whatever coming at him would absolutely shred through his defenses!
Cain instantly moved on bodily instinct. He summonsed Chaos energy and distorted the Space Laws around him.
His body flashed a faint green light as he instantly teleported from the sudden crisis.
‘Zzzt!!’
A loud thunderous boom reverberated.
From where Cain previously stood, a lightning strike with a crystalline luster had struck!
The lightning strike tore through the air and split right through the crystal ocean. Space slightly pulsated wherever the lightning strike soared. A powerful aura engulfed the area for several meters.
Any 4thfall genius would get severely injured from that strike or perhaps die altogether!
At this time, a green flash rippled right above the ground of a random island.
Cain walked out of the green flash’s void space, his feet touching the ground for only a moment.
But within that split moment, a powerful, sizzling heat struck his feet!
Cain felt a painful shock zipped through his core. This heat was enough to make him experience genuine agony. It was as if he dipping his feet into molten lava.
Cain instantly soul transformed, his Draonconinc Lightning Wings flapping in a hurried frenzy.
He shot off from the ground at lightning speed, but a sense of crisis still couldn’t escape Cain’s senses.
When Cain reached 30 meters in the air, he suddenly stopped. His eyes widened to unparalleled sizes.
Up above him and raining down like a hail storm were dozens of long sharp spikes. Each spike was coated with an energy aura, exuding prowess threatening Cain’s current soul form state.
And the danger didn’t just come from above.
To Cain’s front, back, left, right, and below him, spikes were hurled towards him at extreme speeds.
It was a complete pincer trap. Anybody else would need to face this trap head-on and hope for the best.
Cain, however, didn’t need to take such risks.
His Chao enhanced Soul Sense spread, pinpointing to a powerful aura dozens of meters. A green light flashed as Cain teleported out of the pincer traps.
From behind, the spikes all crashed into each other, producing terrifying energy shockwaves. Multiple buildings collapsed entirely from the powerful shockwaves forces.
At this time, a green light flashed dozens of meters away.
Cain had reappeared and safely touched the ground. Nothing tried to kill him from below him. But ahead of him, a sinister killing intent overflowed.
Cain thought a vat of ice engulfed his body for a moment. This killing intent was the greatest he had ever experienced!
His eyes snapped forward only to see a sight that made his pupils slightly dilate.
