Chapter 415: Hunting The Hunters
Chapter 415: Hunting The Hunters
As of right now, Cain and Amber weren’t actually flying out. The duo stayed crouched in a bush, their forms, and auras hidden from all prying eyes.
Only a couple of days have passed since their tea sessions with the Tun siblings. It was a time rather well spent, by all means.
Cain was genuinely intrigued to learn about other cultivators’ Divine Laws and about some facts concerning the Great Divine Sea realm.
Both of the Tun siblings were willing to provide them with all the information they needed.
Mainly, they learned about the importance of a Dao Core Fragment. An item so valuable yet surprisingly rare across the entire God Galaxy.
All Great Divine Sea cultivators need at least one Dao Core Fragment to make any sort of progress through the realm and to reach the Divine Star realm.
Without one, no matter how talented a cultivator was, they would forever be trapped within the Great Divine Sea realm.
Wanting to gain a Dao Core Fragment isn’t simple at all. Typically costing up to immense prices range, even a Holy King master would crease their brows over. Or in incredibly dangerous places that Holy King masters wouldn’t dare to causally approach.
It wasn’t a wonder why they were so many more rogue Divine Origin and Great Divine Sea warriors compared to a single Divine Star expert.
Unless one hails from at least a peak Divine Ruler level Holy Land or an organization equivalent, poorer cultivators virtually have zero chances of even attempting to breach the Divine Star realm.
All that they learned only made Zhou Ling’s so-called peace offering that more suspicious.
After that meeting, the duo still took a couple of days to properly recuperate themselves. It was better to be over than under-prepared.
Afterward, they follow the directions given to them to absolute perfection. It would be unwise to go off the path even for just a little bit. There were genuine threats lurking deep within this forestry area.
However, in the middle of their travels, Cain suddenly pulled Amber into this bush while casting Chaotic concealment.
Amber absolutely trusted Cain, but still felt puzzled at first. But after a short explanation, she remained intently focused.
The duo stayed in this position for some time now. During their stay, much less other humans, there weren’t even any other Vicious Dao beasts.
Just when it seem like nobody would come, several shadows suddenly flickered out of the surrounding trees and bushes.
It was a mixture of men and women whose Divine Auras all were potently powerful!
Four of them had dense Divine Auras comparable to Lei Bi. Such thickness could make any other Extreme Great Divine Sea warrior gasp for breath. They together are far superior to Lei Bi’s half-step Divine Star prowess.
The last two’s Divine Aura was easily superior to the other four by an immense margin. It wasn’t even comparable in reality.
Their Divine Auras could even subtly shift the air around them. The Laws they comprehended naturally flowed out of their bodies like streams of water.
These two were genuine Divine Star experts!
What completed the scene was the fact that five of these people were wearing the Tian family robes and crest symbols.
While the other Divine Star expert wore a long black coat that covered his image.
Neither Cain nor Amber was surprised to see this group. Even without Cain’s special abilities, they simply knew an ambush was coming from a mile away.
Although, the duo was rather curious that the Tian was coming after them. They were under the impression Zhou Ling sent people after them.
So why does a Tian squad know exactly where they’re going?
Before deciding to kill, the duo decided to intently listen in.
The Tian Divine Star expert, the leader of the group, continually surveyed the surrounding with his Divine eyes and Divine sense.
Moments later, he and his squadron tightly furrowed their brows. The leader spoke in a genuinely confused tone. “This is…too odd. I’m aware that those two may possibly hold prowess comparable to half-step Divine Star or a weak Divine star person, but just what’s this? How could their auras just up and disappear?”
At this point, one of the Tian women pointed a look at the black robe man.
“Mr.Fu, I don’t mean to be rude, but could that Zhou Ling have some hidden intentions against you? Even with this partnership, trust on both sides is shaky at best.”
Everyone soon turned their attention to this so-called Mr.Fu. They expected immediate answers, treating this scenario with the utmost caution.
After all, while they are hunting down people with prowess seemingly not quite in the Divine Star realm, none of them would become overtly arrogant.
Each Tian members were intently aware that geniuses like ‘Lee’ or ‘Xun’ can’t be estimated by common sense.
Under his hoodie, Mr.Fu appeared completely calm. It was as if this problem was just a minor inconvenience for him.
But truthfully, even Mr.Fu was startled in confusion! His Divine Sense stretched out for thousands of miles, yet he still couldn’t detect those previous auras.
Mr. Fu crossed his arms and said, “Calm down. We were following them correctly before. And even as we stopped, nothing was coming out for us. Trust me, Zhou Ling wouldn’t dare to make a mistake like this. He, of all people, knows of the consequences of disappointing Divine Lord Wen Shao. That map in Lee’s hand holds a distinct tracking device. Not even other Divine Rulers can properly sense. The only way to counteract it is if there’s a greater power source suppressing it.”
His explanation caused the Tian squad to slightly relaxed, though their guard remained up.
The leader directly asked, “So, what? Could it be possible that they encountered some Dao beast and used a talisman or Spirit Artifact to hide from it and possibly killed it?”
Mr.Fu calmly crossed his arms. “Perhaps so. It’s not too surprising to believe they have powerful protection items on though. To what extent, I’m not sure at all.”
The only woman in the group spoke again, this time in a worrying tone. “That’s a pretty big mystery, no? Divine Rulers items cost a sky-high sum. No way they can get their hands on that. But, it’s entirely possible they may have stronger Divine Star items! If so, the situation will just become too chaotic with our items in the mix.”
Neither Mr.Fu nor her other Tian members could refute this point. This moment revealed the amount of danger they could potentially face isn’t low at all.
After a short while of contemplation, Mr. Fu still went on to say, “At this point, it’s better to still carry on than risk disappointing Lord Wen Shao. Look, if we continue into the cave, maybe we can even score two prizes at once. Lord Wen Shao would certainly appreciate all of those Fragmented Dao Cores.”
The Tian squadron seriously considers his idea. They looked around, only to see a lack of life from any other human or Dao Vicious beast.
At this point, what other choice do they have?
None of them were willing to disappoint Divine Decree Lord Wen Shao, nor did they want to give up on the cave with the Fragmented Dao Cores.
The leader sighed with a small shrug.
“I suppose this is-”
Before the leader could finish, before the other members could react, before even the other Divine Star expert could use his Spiritual Sea, flashes of green blinded everyone’s vision.
A supreme Divine Aura engulfed the entire atmosphere!
The tremendous thickness, immense density, and supreme intensity of the Divine Aura smashed upon everyone.
It didn’t matter who it was. Whether it was the four Great Divine Sea warriors or the two Divine Star experts, a tremendous pressure constricted their entire beings!
They all felt suffocated, feeling their breaths entirely slip away. Everyone’s soul’s core quivers in instinctual fear.
In this split moment, four trails of green lights flickered within the initial blinding green flash.
‘Chi!’
Flesh tearing apart rattled the leader and Mr. Fu’s ears. Splatters of blood hit their body, making their skin crawl.
A moment later, they heard the sickening thumps of corpses hitting the floor.
Just who was attacking them?!
Who could have such dense power?!
The leader was fraught with horror. His body stayed rooted to the ground.
? Whereas Mr. Fu already retreated dozens of miles backward. At the first sign of true danger, he didn’t dare to linger around.
At the same time, the sensation of death crawled upon the leader Divine Star expert.
He who comprehended a Dao Source Core and Perfection Divine Source Laws fused it into his Inner World and can control it, felt death looming upon him!
The Law power he can grasp was nearing 20% of a universal Heavenly Great Dao!
Even at his stage, it would be enough to split massive continents into pieces with a wave of his hand!
Just how can this random Divine Aura make him feel close to death?!
“Enough!”
The leader roared out and moved with tremendous speed befitting of a Divine Star expert.
In a fraction of a second, Fire Law essence and Divine Qi rapidly poured from his body, completely fusing together to converge into a small, orange fiery orb in the shape of a star.
The fiery star orb floated just an inch from the leader’s face, rapidly manifesting into reality.
When this fiery star orb formed, the immense power of Perfection Divine Laws descended upon the area like judgment from the heavens.
Flickers of fiery orange lights shredded the blinding green flash apart.
Specks of shattered space occurred around the fiery star orb. These tiny black lines could still pump out a chilling force of destructive void space.
This was the power of a Divine Star expert. Even in the God Galaxies where the surrounding World Source Laws are thousands of times firmer than the Lower Realms, any Divine Star expert can still break tiny portions of such Laws.
