Kato stood in front of the shattered stone platform, with multiple chains were pulled off their steles.
After confirming that the person inhumanely imprisoned here was the one he took the inheritance from, Kato was emotional and begrudging.
Kato had considered him his teacher from the bottom of his heart.
All of a sudden, he found that his teacher had been imprisoned and tortured for years. Kato was enraged, as if he had experienced the torture himself. He hated that he couldn’t find the one who made all of these and made him suffer the same things.
Listening to him, Leylin’s face was enlightened, glancing at Leona and Fiona who stood with a neutral gaze. Looking at those imprisonment areas, he understood that the God Clan and Bloodthirsty force in general have a brutal rivalry.
The founder of this place was extremely harsh and malignant. To subdue the prisoner’s soul, he had used the stone tablets and the chains, which pierced through the prisoner’s bones, and the ice crystal stone platform to torture the prisoner, making him suffer an unimaginable pain.
Once the prisoner was confined, it would take so many years. Unless the energy of his God Body was drained, it would never stop.
The warrior who had cultivated Chaotic power Upanishad was one of the Bloodthirsty’s Cortege of Eight, Khaos Lorenzo, so it’s safe to assume that both these ancient forces have an irreconcilable debt.
“That man had escaped by pulling the chains and breaking the ice crystal stone platform. He must have used his physical strength to do that. How formidable was this person!” Weerlig walked forward and spoke with an astounded tone.
“I have a speculation as to how strong he might have been, but I’m not so sure…” said Jester who also appeared before them. Kato was one of the most important if not the most important person of their team, it’s normal that any activity from him would attract others.
“Jester, what speculation do you have?” Kato couldn’t help but turned around and inquired with a frown.
Jester was a top alchemist with a great reputation in the Heaven Punishment City. He had studied a lot of ancient books, and he knew many secrets of the past. Everyone always highly valued his opinion.
Jester hesitated for a while but eventually forced a smile. “After we got to this place, I found that my knowledge is still shallow. Yeah, let me tell you my point of view. Don’t tease me or make jokes. It’s just my speculation. I just feel it should be like that. I don’t have evidence, so don’t chase me. I won’t be able to come up with an answer that can satisfy you…”
“Feel free to speak.” Weerlig glanced at the impatient expression of Kato and urged Jester.
“I think you all notice that there’re thirty-two prisons in this area, of which, twenty prisons are made of eleven stone steles, ten prisons are made of twelve stone steles, and only two prisons are made of thirteen steles.” Jester took a deep breath, his voice trembling. “I’ve read an incomplete ancient book. It reads that a long, long time ago, even before the ancient time, the God Clan had classified the realms just like these stones. One stone represented one realm…”
“What do you mean?” Kato frowned and couldn’t understand his ideas.
“Our realms are ranked from the lowest realm to the highest realm as follows: Elementary, Nascent, Human, Disaster, Earth, Nirvana, Sky, Spirit, True God, King God, Original God, Ethereal God, and Incipient God. Thirteen realms in total. So, one stone tablet for the Elementary Realm. After breaking through, it’s two stone tablets when entering the Nascent Realm. As such, one more stone tablet for each time of increase in realm…” Jester explained carefully.
Everybody present was perplexed, looking at him in complete silence. They didn’t even breathe.
“Since this place has thirteen stone steles, if we can use the number of the steles to define the realm… The one who got imprisoned here should be… should be at…” Jester couldn’t finish.
“Incipient God Realm!” Kato was shaken. He couldn’t help but shout his answer, looking at the broken platform with complete awe.
“Yes, if we use the number of stone steles to classify the realms, the one who got imprisoned here should be at the Incipient God Realm.” Jester felt powerless, his face pale while sweat was beading his forehead. “The Incipient God Realm, the peak realm that we’ve ever known! Warriors at this realm could destroy an entire life star with one hand. However, this kind of an existence had only been told about in legends, the Godly existence that no one has ever seen!”
Everyone was silent, their eyes empty. They gasped for their breath as they were so stunned.
Everyone present shivered, their face baffled. Jester’s speculation had scared them out of their wits.
At Incipient God Realm, the warriors understood the nature of powers and primary rules of powers Upanishads as if they could blend the earth and sky together.
If compared against a Magus, then even a First Sky of Incipient God Realm Warrior can defeat the most elite peak Rank 6 Magus easily. Contrasting from the Magus World powerful entities who dabble in law or power upanishad, they don’t fall into a slumber instead they can accumulate their power upanishad and construct a law body.
The Incipient God Realm can be considered as the Quasi realm of law beings in cultivation world.
If alchemist Jester’s speculations were true, it would mean this place used to imprison two Incipient God Realm experts, ten Ethereal God Realm experts, and twenty Original God Realm experts!
What kind of a concept was that?
Let alone the Incipient God Realm experts, any expert at the Ethereal God Realm could have enough power to terminate the entire Raging Flame Star Area!
Ten Ethereal God Realm experts plus two Incipient God Realm experts was an earth-destroying power, which was beyond people’s imagination.
Thus, all of them gawked, as they were so stunned that they didn’t know what to say.
After a while, Jester talked with a bitter face, sniveling, “Of course, it’s just my assumption. I don’t know if it’s true or not. Anyway, if it’s true, how strong would the jailors have been who had confined those warriors?”
Everybody was frightened, sinking deep in fear again.
“Let’s not bite more than we can chew and focus on solving this forbidden land.” Fatima appeared from behind and reminded everyone.
“Lord Weerlig, can you look for the core through the star map?” Jester asked.
Weerlig shoke his head, “This area restrains the soul altar. I must use energy of the soul altar to read the star map. Thus… I can’t see the route in there.”
“Then, what should we do?” Jashin who returned with his crew spoke with a dispirited face. “If we can’t check the star map, how could we find the direction to the new star area? Are we left with only one option of returning using the previous path to the illusory formation?”
“We can’t return, we were able to come here because of the guidance from star map but it’s not so easy to go back especially considering the ridiculous illusionary formation outside.”
Swoosh swoosh!
Suddenly an ear-splitting hissing and screaming echoed through the area they had landed before, as people started to appear.
Weerlig discolored, shouting. “Strong experts from the three powerful forces!”
Everybody was frightened. They paled, shivering like leaves. They burst out in panic, wanting to flee away.
Barrette, Jester, and Jashin couldn’t keep their minds clear anymore. Fear flashed in their eyes.
“It’s not a bad thing meeting them here…” Fatima suddenly said in a light tone.
Many pirates were fluttered uneasily. But listening to her, they were so surprised, looking at her as they didn’t get what she meant.
She continued “Our soul altar is restrained, and it will be the same for them. Nobody can use powers Upanishad now. We can only use the energy in the God Body to attack and defend. We won’t be hurt. At least, we have many people here!”
People had their eyes brightened.
Barrette and Jashin’s face turned ferocious with a wicked smile.
Weerlig’s face became cold as veins on his neck convulsed. Crispy cracking sounds echoed from his body, as though he was urging the energy of his God Body. “Indeed, we don’t need to be afraid of them.”
As the pirates heard that, their God Body started to diffuse the wicked, murderous intention. They were filled with fighting spirit immediately. They not only pulled themselves together, they also stopped running away and started to approach the others.
They were the most combative force in the Raging Flame Star Area. All of them had a life of licking blood from their sabers. They weren’t afraid of battle. Quite the contrary, when they knew death might be not their only consequence, they had the guts and excitement to battle at least once.
The three big forces had pressed them for years. They always sent hotshots to clear the pirates. As they didn’t have good feelings for them, when they had a chance, they would try to have a big, furious bite for sure!
“With high realms, although the warriors can’t use their powers Upanishad, it will not easy to deal with him even when they use just the intimidating power of their God Body. Remember, we have to use the huge-crowd tactic. We are greater in number here. We can be like the bees when their hive is broken. We have to tear them apart. That’s how we deal with high-realm warriors. We’re lucky that this area favors us. Since the soul altar is restrained, we can use our number of people to make up the gap between realms. Folks, you have to take this chance and kill more people!”
Weerlig was very sane. He understood their strengths and weakness well. He knew they could only rely on the number of warriors to hurt their opponent. Before they engaged in the battle, he made the strategy clear first.
Everybody agreed with him noisily.
Several thousand pirates of different organizations packed the place like a cloud of swarming locusts. They came and surrounded the area where the three forces were arriving.
Shortly, they returned to the place from where they had first entered in this area.
The groups of Dark Firnament Divine Nation’s Alavid, Nine Star Chamber of Commerce’s Shane Varet and Underworld Legion’s Adidas all experts at Second Sky of Original God Realm and the main pursuer of the pirates were still baffled, watching the marvelous scene of this area.
When the three big forces had entered the forbidden land, they had several hundred warriors. However, most of them were killed by the dangers in forbidden land. At this moment, they had just more than one hundred elite warriors.
Shane Varet of the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce wore a dark green garment. He looked archaic and lanky. He just frowned while talking calmly. “The Pirates have arrived.”
“Damn!” Toranto, another Original God Realm commander of Underworld Legion cursed with cold face. “Our soul altar can’t move, and our powers Upanishad are restrained. We can’t use any energy. Should we use the God Body to wrestle with them? It’s not good!”
They all felt the strange situation here. Hearing Toranto, they immediately knew what the pirates wanted to do under the magical and weird circumstances of this area.
“They are so many. If we fought them normally, we could use our advantageous realms to kill them. But now, as we can use only our physical strength of the God Body, it would be tough.” Alavid also had a headache.
“It’s simple. Just kill the leaders. When the four big leaders are killed, I think those pirates won’t be able to endure for a long time. With no commanders, they can’t utilize their advantage of having a larger number. They will scatter and go disorderly shortly,” said Adidas sanely.
Shane nodded, talking deliberately. “We will do as Commander Adidas said. I will kill Weerlig first. You guys take care of Jashin, Jester and Barrette. The Second Sky of Original God Realm warriors fight with the First Sky of Original God Realm warriors. Even if you can only use the power of your God Body, you can trounce them. You just need to keep in mind one thing… Do not linger!”
All of them were smart and wicked leaders. They tacitly knew what Shane wanted them to do, and nodded in agreement.
Shortly, the pirates came and surrounded them. They roared and hissed with ferocious faces to increase their auras. The energy in their body burst out at once.
Warriors who had higher realm would have more energy accumulated in their God Body. The increase of their realm had to be close to the development of their body. Although the three big forces were outnumbered, they had more elite warriors with better God Bodies. As long as they didn’t need to fight for a long time, they wouldn’t lose.
….
“Aren’t you going to join them?”
“There is no need, this game of cat and mouse is pathetic. They are bickering amongst themselves while the real threat is behind them.”
“Aunt you can probably stop his revival if you intervened now.”
“… If I stop it then all of our work so far would be for nothing. The space channel can only be opened when that demon awakens.”
“Then I guess we can only let them be the sacrifice.”
“You two wait here, I’ll be back in a while.”
“Aunt!? Where are you going at such a time?”
“I need to take care of some issues.”
