Chapter 547 The Wean Clan Arrives
It started from the moment the mysterious eye targeted the Boar King. When the Bolt of Transcendence slammed into him through it, the Boar King gained information regarding the eye's functions.
And when they split, both the bodies took on their respective tasks. The first body would focus on reclaiming their children while the second body would save Yarsha Zahara.
But just as when the Major Treasure of Attribute revealed itself in Sumatra Chronicles, the Boar King felt pressured upon sensing something that could pose a threat to his existence.
In Sumatra Chronicles, the only threat he faced was from the Attributed Region. Hence, after some observation, he concluded that as long as he reached the 5-Life Stage, he'd be able to overpower the Attributed Region.
He would at most have to activate a Nature of Internal Inertial Gravity to destroy the place. Since the solution was readily available to him, the Boar King didn't have to think much about maintaining his seat as the supreme existence of Sumatra.
But in this timeline, that wasn't the case. He didn't just see the Attributed Region but also had to face the eye, which too was a Major Treasure's Influenced Region. He barely managed to escape it at the cost of losing a body.
At least, he could destroy them once he progresses through the Life Stage and accumulates more bodies. But what about his enemies? There were plenty this time, with a good number of them being competent.
And unlike in Sumatra Chronicles, the Boar King now had a family to worry about. Even if he were to reach the 10-Life Stage, the Boar King would be unable to leave his family because of two reasons.
First, the moment he was to split a body, due to the significant influences generated by the Natures in Astral Chart, he could no longer fuse with the body. And the longer this detached body lives, the greater the danger it poses to the Boar King, able to even cause his implosion.
Only by being in the Body Stage could he avoid that. But at the Life Stage, with multiple bodies stacked upon himself, a slight chaos would cause a serious implosion. Hence, the Boar King wouldn't be able to split his bodies unless he wanted to court death.
Second, he would have to remain with his family. The moment he leaves to deal with an enemy, another enemy will target his family.
Sumatra Continent followed the rule of survival of the fittest, not the strongest. Therefore, without him being there for protection, his family could never live in peace.
Even with his mighty strength, the Boar King will have no other choice but to hole in a place with his family and defend it until the end of his lifespan. There was no other alternative.
Virala managed to infiltrate his home and knock up his wife while Inala used him to further his own development. The Boar King was only aware of these two for now. There could have been others that he was oblivious about.
The moment he felt the joy of having a family, the Boar King never wished to return to a life of solitude once again. Hence, he was thinking. How could he realistically survive this situation and pave a future for his family?
Being a pinnacle existence wasn't the answer to that. Yarsha Zahara's cultivation needs require Sumatra Gold. Only he had the strength to detect them and fish them out of ruins with countless dangerous traps set by Mystic Tentacles of various eras.
Therefore, to get Sumatra Gold, he would have to leave his family and explore the Sumatra Continent. Doing that would make his family defenceless. He understood that even the Gold Grade strength possessed by his kids proved insufficient.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
His enemies excelled not in strength but in cunningness and planning. Yennda's Iron Grade strength forced his children out of commission. This time, he wanted to only weaken them significantly. But what if he wanted to kill them the next time?
With his preparations done, he simply bought time until Barla and Braga in his stomach biome could comprehend the completed Mystic Sumatra Art and began to practice it.
And then, once the two bodies of the Boar King were within 180 metres of each other, despite being physically separated by the walls of the Attributed Region, their minds connected. The transfer of information completed everything they wanted.
'Shit!' Inala only realised what was up at the last moment, having been focused on his fight to not observe what the Empyrean Tusks were trying to convey. He noticed the Boar King's eyes shoot open, revealing the weakened gaze of someone at the end of his life, but one ignited with the desire to protect his children.
Inala only hesitated for a moment before deciding to flee, understanding that it was impossible to kill the Boar King anymore. Both the bodies of the Boar King were on the verge of death but weren't dead yet.
They would survive for a few more seconds, which was more than enough to evolve. Or rather, they had been buying time to counter their enemies at the last moment, for the success rate would be higher that way.
His vision lit up as Inala reverted to human form and compressed the air around him to fly towards Compartment 2-
K, accelerating as much as he could. He stared at Asaeya for a moment before sighing upon seeing the latter's expressionless face, noncompliant to him. "Grab my hand!"
She hesitated in that instant, missing the opportunity to grab his hand, and watched Inala's figure head towards the gate leading to Compartment 2-K. There was no time to waste. She lost her chance in that instant as the world around her lit up in the next moment.
A Bolt of Transcendence slammed into the body of the first Boar King and then curved to slam into the gate and seep into the body of the second Boar King. Right before it hit him, the first Boar King unleashed the strongest possible Prana Shock to send Brana and Baga flying away to safety.
The Bolt of Transcendence connected the two Boar King's bodies, melting through the first body and pouring his everything into the second. Using the hole that had appeared in the gate, the two bodies came into physical contact.
The second body devoured the first body as Bolts of Transcendence rained over the Attributed Region, targeting his enemies along their path of travel to strike the Boar King.
Barla had been eating Parute Fruits from the moment she arrived in the Boar King's stomach biome. And now, after obtaining the completed Mystic Sumatra Art, she waited as the body of the first Boar King melted, causing his essence to seep into the stomach biome in the form of influence resembling a Major Treasure's.
She consumed it and condensed her Prana, reaching the 2-Life Stage, successfully evolving to be part of the Wean Clan now. Her evolution influenced the Boar King's Prana, causing him to evolve.
In a fraction of a second, the entirety of the Attributed Region lit up thanks to the over hundred Bolts of Transcendence that had impacted it. And just as they vanished, a pillar of light jutted into the sky.
The source of it was an evolved Brangara, unleashing the same phenomenon as a Major Treasure revealing itself, but the pillar of light was on par with the one unleashed by the Major Treasure of Seat of Transcendence.
Standing under the pillar of light, Brangara snapped his finger, causing the figures of Barla and Braga to hover beside him. There were sparks of light, following which a tangible Empyrean Tusk body enveloped Brana and Baga. It trumpeted once and launched the duo towards Brangara and dissipated.
"I have my family with me now," Brangara muttered as he caught the figure of Yarsha Zahara who was similarly launched in his way by a tangible Empyrean Tusk. He looked around to see the walls of the Attributed Region come crashing down, damaged beyond recovery.
"I promise to protect you all." He said, wiping his tears in relief that he at least managed to save a portion of his family. And then, he unleashed his presence in all its grandeur, alarming even the Transcendent Worlds hovering in the sky. "I might not be the strongest anymore, but I'm the fittest!"
