Chapter 910 - Danger Everywhere

Rean then began to sink into the water again. However, as soon as he was about to be fully submerged, he circulated his Spiritual Energy and kicked the water. The strength of his kick was more than enough for him to launch himself above the water again. Rean then kept doing it as he looked at the demon beasts below. Even Core Formation Realm cultivators wouldn't have a problem doing that with their strength. Let alone a Nascent Soul Realm that had the power of a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator.

The killing spree continued until the confusion finally began to die out. However, Rean also noticed something different. Every time a demon beast died, it would start to disappear into specks of red lights. Even all the blood they spread before dying was no exception. 'So...these guys aren't living beings, but some kind of energy beast.'

Rean pondered over it for a moment as he kept kicking the water's surface to stay out. Suddenly, just as he was about to reach the surface of the water once again, he rotated his body and sent a punch below. That punch just so happened to hit a Sea Demon Beast that was passing by, knocking it out instantaneously. Rean then grabbed its rear and started to kick the water again to leave the water. This time, he put a lot more strength in the kick to be able to get the demon beast out of the water.

During the time Rean went up and down, he sent his Spiritual Energy inside the demon beast. 'So, it does have cultivation. This guy is a Middle Stage Three Demon Beast. It's just that I can't tell with my Spiritual Sense since it can't leave my body...wait, it also has a soul. Is this thing really dead?'

Rean then dropped the demon beast into the water, which was immediately assaulted by the others around it. Since it was unconscious, it was devoured within mere moments. Of course, the moment it died, it began to disappear as well...or at least the small bits and pieces that weren't eaten in time.

Rean then looked around, trying to guess where he was at the moment. Unfortunately, everything was just a huge crimson sea. He couldn't see any land in any of the directions he looked at. Well, Rean didn't mind it, though. He simply closed his eyes for an instant before he opened them again while looking in a certain direction. 'Roan's there. However, he's way over 3000 kilometers away from me at the moment, so I can't use the Soul Gem System's abilities. Now that I think about it, I feel like we should have bought the next Soul Connection Range upgrade from the system.'

Soon after, Rean tried to contact Sister Orb. Unfortunately, because he was out of range from Roan and his situation was considered 'dangerous,' the system blocked everything. He would need to first get close to Roan and use their own Soul Connection to talk to each other instead of using the Soul Gem System as a medium. 

'Well, at least I know what direction I have to head to get closer to him. As for Kentucky...' Rean then looked in a different direction. Kentucky's presence, however, didn't work like Roan's. It had a limit to how far he could feel the Minokawa. 'The fact that I can at least tell which direction Kentucky can be found means that he's probably closer to me than Roan is.'

There wasn't much to think after that. 'Well, Kentucky it is then. Since I can't fly in this realm, I believe the others can't do it either. Having a flying demon beast to move around will make things a lot easier.'

*Roarrrrr!*

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar resounded from the distance. It was so loud that even Rean's body trembled. From the looks of it, all the carnage that had been happening in the water had caught the attention of something a lot more terrifying than the demon beasts Rean had been watching so far. Not only that, but the demon beasts that had been going on a rampage inside the water stopped fighting immediately as well. They quickly started to flee in all directions, afraid of the newcomer. 'Whatever it is, I'm definitely going to die if it decides to attack me. I'm out!'

Rean then landed another kick on the water's surface, but this time propelling himself in another direction. 

*Bang!*

Like a bullet, Rean shot into the distance, leaving all the aftermath of the fight behind. Once he left the bloodied scene, the sea once again became calm, as if nothing had happened. 

Far, far away, Roan was in the middle of a heated fight against what seemed to be a giant golem made out of lava.

'Death Style, Sixth Form, Destroyer!'

Destroyer was a skill made to fight opponents that were big and had high defense, usually demon beasts. The problem with the skill had always been the long time it took to get it ready. Also, the fact that it needed both Light and Dark Elements. Roan had to use Rean's White Star's Light Element gathering property to make up for the lack of their Element Exchange with Rean. That's why this fight had taken longer than necessary, as he had to dodge the attacks nonstop, which was almost as fast as his own movements even though the golem was enormous.

*Boom!*

*Orrrhhhhh!*

With the impact, the golem's chest had a giant hole on it, showing something that looked like a very small red crystal at the center.

Roan, who seemed somewhat tired, immediately took the chance to attack.

'Death Style, Second Movement Form, Shadow Air!'

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

*Zing!*

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Shatter!*

The attack was as precise as it could be, piercing right through the crystal and shattering it instantly.

*Crumble...*

As if a chain reaction started, the golem began to break down into countless pieces until it was nothing more than a pile of rocks and molten lava. As for the shards of the red crystal Roan just shattered, they turned into specks of red light before completely disappearing.

Roan looked at that from the ground before ignoring it completely, thinking to himself, 'This is already the seventh one. These underground caves are just too hard to move across without Spiritual Sense.' Roan then looked at a wall, knowing that he could feel Rean's presence from there.. 'The idiot is somewhere in this direction, but I guess I have to find a way out of this place first.'
