Chapter 547 - Lord Eagon
The Soul Gem System was really quick with its maneuvers. When the system teleported to outer space first, part of the ray of red light had detached from the main attack and aid at it. The Soul Gem System disappeared just a second before it passed where Rean's group was, barely missing its target.
Around a minute later, another spatial phenonon happened nearby the area where the Soul Gem System was. Suddenly space seed to be splitting apart, showing a gap in the middle of nothing. Following that, a man walked out of the thing as he looked around.
"Fuck! He escaped again!"
Soon after, another anomaly happened close to him, which brought another person to this place.
"We knew it would be unlikely to destroy it. There's no helping it since teleporting a living body at such a distance takes much longer than sending a wave of energy."
The first guy then cald down as he nodded.
"Just how did Soul Gem create such a thing? The mont we find its location, it imdiately perceives us even before we take action. We tried to attack first this ti, but we were still not fast enough. Just how long will it take for us to find it again..."
The second guy shook his head as he said.
"Forget that. It's not like it poses any threat to us now that Soul Gem is gone. Let's just go b- hum?"
Just as they were about to head back, the second man noticed sothing as he looked in the direction of the destroyed planet.
"Oh! It seems like we have a few survivors."
In less than an instant, his body blinked away. The first man narrowed his eyes in response and quickly followed.
In another place in outer space, Old Worm, Laro, and a woman looked at the area where their planet was located just a mont ago. The woman's na was Palana. She just so happened to be the ancestor of the Chrole Imperial Family, soone who had been alive since the war against the Lakure Race.
All three of them seed to have suffered severe injuries. Their clothes were totally ragged as they lost any of the previous deanor they showed in front of others before.
Behind them, there were a few people that they barely had any ti to save. They were using their own Spiritual Energy to allow those people to stay alive in outer space as well. However, they weren't any better than Old Worm's group.
Surprisingly, one of them was Mia. Old Worm had stayed behind to deal with the things with Laro back in the Lakure Race. As the Sect Master of the Dalamu Sect, Mia was also there, representing Zuan, who had gone back to the Sect. Old Worm had been living in the Dalamu Sect for so long. When he noticed how bad things were, he imdiately enveloped Mia and two more mbers of his Sasamil Family, Ernian and Valeria. Following that, he shot to the skies as fast as he could.
Laro did the sa thing, bringing Jana, Xila, and another elder close to him called Kaman.
Palana did the sa thing, but Old Worm and Laro couldn't recognize the people she brought together.
As one could imagine, they had extrely ugly expressions. However, they also didn't know what to do now.
"Just why did that happen?"
Laro, who was gritting his teeth so hard that blood was coming out, shook his head in response.
"I don't know. However, it was definitely not sothing we can do anything about."
Old Worm, on the other hand, was the only one who didn't seem so angry. In his mind, he could only think about one thing.
'Grandfather sacrifice his life to divine a way out for Sasamil. We knew that Sasamil would go through a great crisis in the future, but we never found out why. After the tension between Sasamil and Clhrole had intensified, I realized that the problem was related to our countries going to war. However, it seems that I was wrong, completely wrong. It wasn't just Sasamil that would confront a calamity, but the entire planet!'
Nevertheless, he also had another doubt.
'However, grandfather also said that the way out for Sasamil could be found in the northeast side of our Sasamil Empire. What was that about? Was there sothing in the northeast that could prevent what just happened? What could possibly contend against such power in that place?'
As Old Worm and the others thought about everything that happened, they didn't notice the danger approaching them. No, to be more specific, they knew that staying in this place might be extrely dangerous. However, they still can't do sothing like controlling space. Naturally, they were isolated in the middle of nowhere. If the enemy who attacked the planet decided to capture them, there would be nowhere for them to run to start with, so they didn't even try.
Sure enough, an enormous pressure from Spiritual Energy suddenly assaulted everyone in their group. Even the experts like Old Worm, Palana, and Laro couldn't do anything against it.
"What do we have here...."
The second man from before then appeared in front of Old Worm and everyone else.
"Oh! No wonder you survived the planet's explosion. To think that I would find so Transition Realm cultivators in this forgotten corner of the Universe."
The mont the man said the word 'Transition,' the world around him seed to co back to life. Out of nowhere, he began to suffer attacks from all sides. However, the man just snorted at that sight.
"Hmph!"
*Bang!*
In an instant, his body radiated a powerful silver light that negated all the attacks. He looked like a god that no one could touch. Eventually, the attacks ended, not being able to do anything to that man.
Old Worm and the others looked at that with fear in their eyes. That was the reason no one talked about what ca after the Elental Transformation Realm. That's because it was considered a taboo of the Universe. Cultivation had always been regarded as fighting the heavens. What happened was just a small demonstration of what it ant.
Of course, it's not like the word 'Transition' was cursed. One could say that word as many tis as he or she wanted. What caused the backlash of the Universe was one's thoughts.
"This annoying shit. Oh well, whatever. It's not like I can do anything against it."
Right after, the first man appeared on his side as well. But that wasn't all. He also brought seven more cultivators with him.
Old Worm, Palana, and Laro recognized two of them straight away. They were Transition Realm cultivators from other regions of the planet. Of course, they also participated in the Lakure War in the past. The man then threw those people towards Old Worm's group.
"Five of them at once? Now that's really surprising."
"I got them from the other side where the planet was located."
"What should we do with them?"
The second figure pondered for a bit as he looked at everyone.
"Well, then. It'll be quite annoying if the word of what happened here spreads. Even though they don't have the power to manipulate space, there's a small chance that soone else will find them by coincidence. Especially after we destroyed a planet. It might have caught soone's attention."
The other guy shrugged his shoulders, though.
"So what? It's not like it would matter anyway."
"I know. Still, it's always better to prevent unnecessary troubles, don't you think?"
"That's true."
The man then looked at Old Worm's group.
"Seems like you guys have run out of luck today. Let
send you guys on your way."
Old Worm's group could only watch as the enemy was about to kill them. The power of space gathered on the guy's hand, which he imdiately released on everyone. However...
*Bang!*
Out of nowhere, a spatial barrier appeared right in front of Old Worm's group.
"Who's there? Co out now!"
The two guys then looked in a particular direction and imdiately attacked. Well, that was just a test, though.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
Unfortunately, their test was also blocked by the sa kind of spatial barrier once again.
"Sigh... Why are the Celestial Sect mbers always so impatient?"
Following that voice, another man materialized in front of Old Worm's group.
"Hmph! Said the guy spying on us just now. Who wouldn't get impatient in such a situation?"
The man smiled in response.
"Alright, alright. How about we end things here, shall we? You already send an entire planet flying, so why insist on killing these weaklings?"
"It has nothing to do with you. Still, since you've decided to intervene, we might as well get rid of you."
However, just as one of the enemies was about to attack, the other one stopped him.
"Forget it. Let's leave this place."
Obviously, his friend didn't like those words.
"Why?"
It was then that he began to feel other spatial fluctuations appearing around them.
"Tch... He brought a few friends with him. Oh well, whatever. Our target has already escaped either way. Let's go."
Before reinforcents could even arrive, those two imdiately opened a Spatial Gate and left.
With that over, Old Worm's group was finally released from the enemy's Spiritual Pressure. Mia and the others didn't know who had just saved them. However, Old Worm's group imdiately recognized the figure.
"Lord Eagon, thank you for this tily help."
Back then, Old Worm ntioned that the Lord of the Sector had sent their human race to the Lakures' planet. This person just so happened to be that person.
Eagon shook his head, not minding it too much.
"Forget it. Let's leave this place first."
