Chapter 2285 We Can Only Try

Meanwhile, deep inside the Sunkan Planet, Eagon, Roan, and Kentucky approached the Planet's Core. By now, they could already feel the presence of World Essense, showing that they were very close. They used their Divine Energy to block the hot magma around while proceeding with caution.

*Zash, zash, zash!*

Suddenly, they exited the magma environment, arriving at an empty space within the planet's center. Such a thing shouldn't be possible, especially considering the size of Sunkan. The gravity created by the core wouldn't allow such an environment to exist. Yet, it was there.

However, they quickly understood that the Space around them wasn't really empty. That's because they were using their Divine Sense initially. The Crystalized World Essence already showed during the planet's reconstruction that Divine Senses couldn't detect it, and it hasn't changed now. After their vision stabilized, they saw the enormous colored crystal in the distance.

It didn't move, only releasing faint waves of World Essence as it floated there. 'No, it's the opposite,' Roan thought. 'The Crystal is absorbing the Planet's World Essence instead of releasing it.'

Eagon's eyes lit up, seeing the crystal there. However, he didn't act straight away. Roan had decided to tell him about the voices and dreams everyone heard while they were souls inside it. Naturally, Eagon did the same thing as Rean and checked the world with his Divine Sense. Only then did he confirm Roan wasn't lying. That obviously put him on a much higher guard against whatever the crystal is. Of course, he still wanted it since it had all the Divine Energy he could wish for. 'What do we do? Could it be that this thing has sentience?' He asked Roan and Kentucky through a Divine Sense Message.

Roan had told Eagon about the crystal's voice, but it was not because he wanted to help Eagon. Instead, he simply wanted to prevent any sudden harsh actions that could put them at risk instead. 'Perhaps we should try to talk to it first. As you probably found out already, this thing seems to be quite unsettled at the moment.'

Eagon nodded. 'Divine Sense then? Still, my Divine Sense can't detect it, so my Divine Sense Message might pass through it without relaying anything.'

Kentucky wasn't as patient as Roan and Eagon, though. "Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy!!! Can you hear us!?" His voice echoed like thunder in that empty Space, helped by the infusion of his Divine Energy.

Roan and Eagon felt like crying. 'Can't you think a little bit, at least?'

*Rumble!*

The area around them began to tremble as a voice came out.

"WHO'S THERE?!"

Surprisingly, the crystal truly answered Kentucky's call.

Kentucky then looked at Eagon and Roan. "See? And you were bitching around for nothing..."

Roan's mouth twitched a little, but he decided to think about Kentucky's punishment another time. Instead, he looked back in the crystal's direction before saying. "I'm a cultivator born in this world. Could you tell me what you are doing in the center of my planet?"

Eagon immediately thought Roan was lying. After all, he remembers more or less how long it has been since the planet was destroyed. How could anyone reach the Elemental Space Realm in such a short time?

"Born on this planet? Ha! As if! Do you think I don't remember every single soul born on this planet? Let alone Elemental Space Realm. This planet has never seen a single Void Tempering Realm expert at all," The crystal suddenly answered.

Eagon and Roan's guard increased even more. That's because the crystal could detect their cultivation. However, their Divine Sense couldn't even pick up its presence. Could it be that the crystal was at the Space-Time Realm Level? Or perhaps the Divinity Realm? As everyone knows, higher realm experts can't be detected by lower realm experts' Divine Senses as long as the difference in cultivation is big enough. That would explain why they can't detect the crystal.

However, Roan quickly discarded that possibility. If the crystal in front of him was really above the Elemental Space Realm, he would at least detect it inside his Natural Spatial Perception. That was one thing no one could hide from. "That's because this planet was destroyed many years ago. I was fortunate enough to escape and reach the Realm of Gods. I cultivated and reached my actual level before coming back. Yet, to my surprise, the planet suddenly rebuilt itself on its own, and the only clue we have is you..."

"FUCK!" The crystal's voice echoed loudly once again, making the world around shake. "Those beasts truly destroyed my planet! That wasn't the deal! That wasn't the deal at all!"

The crystal then started to move in Roan's group direction. "You are those fucker's friends, right? You must be! I'm going to destroy you all!"

Right after, the World Essence inside the crystal revolved and merged with all the accumulated Divine Origin Energy. That was something even Rean and Roan could pull out, the combination of World Essence for attacks.

Roan, Kentucky, and Eagon immediately tried to retreat. However, that empty Space suddenly closed off, creating a Pseudo-Dimensional Realm. The crystal had been in this place for so long that it had gained control over everything there. If the crystal didn't want someone to leave, they wouldn't leave!

*Ziu, ziu, ziu, ziu...*

Countless Rays of Colored Light then came out of the crystal, aiming straight at the three. Roan, Eagon, and Kentucky immediately tried to dodge. However, the Laser-Like attack seemed to have a life of its own, changing direction as those three used their Spatial Powers to avoid the attacks.

Without another choice, Roan pulled his White Scythe and counter-attacked the lasers coming in his direction. Still, he underestimated the crystal's control over those Rays of Colored Light Energy. As soon as his Scythe came down, the lasers went around it, completely avoiding being hit and aiming at his chest.

Kentucky and Eagon still haven't tried to counter-attack, and after seeing what happened to Roan, they didn't even try.

Roan was surprised by the mobility of the attack, but he didn't lose his calm. In that split second that the lasers dodged his Scythe and tried to hit him, his Space Power burst in his body, forcefully pulling him away from the lasers' trajectory. This was the Mortal Realm, and his control over Space was several times better without the Higher Realm restrictions.

Still, as soon as he reappeared, even more of those rays of light came after him. Although his power over Space was much better, the crystal could feel everything in that location. It was some kind of domain that wasn't a domain. 'You two, we can't hold back. We need to try to make this guy calm down without destroying him.'

'Can't we simply flee?' Kentucky couldn't help but ask.

Eagon shook his head. 'Not if you don't want it to go rampaging outside. However, can we stop without destroying it?' noVE)lB-1n

'We have to,' Roan said while teleporting to another corner. 'He has way too much energy inside him. If we destroy this crystal, that energy will instantly explode. I don't think we are fast enough to escape something of that magnitude.'

Eagon and Kentucky felt a chill on their backs. They had completely forgotten that the main reason they wanted the crystal was the energy inside it. 'We can only try then.'
