Chapter 1321 - Ancient Beasts' Confront
Chapter 1321 – Ancient Beasts’ Confront
Following that, an enormous ancient beast that looked like a dinosaur with armor shot out from the ground. Just like the giant snake, it was also completely white. However, that's where the similarities ended. Its back was fully protected with an armor made out of bones, full of spikes. Its head was the same, with a bone helmet that looked even more resistant to attacks.
Even though the two ancient beasts were ridiculously enormous, making Kentucky look like a newborn chick, they were both far faster than Kentucky. The Minokawa could only dream about reaching their speed at its actual cultivation level.
Soon, the two ancient beasts clashed against each other.
*Boom!*
A heaven-defying explosion of Divine Energy from the two creatures rushed out, destroying everything in their wake. Kentucky flew as fast as he could, but the shockwave between the two ancient beasts still caught up to him. Rean and Roan immediately held tight onto Kentucky and infused their own Divine Soul Power into the Minokawa. In the meantime, Kentucky spun his body, putting himself between the shockwave and the twins. That was because the twins still did not have as much defense as Kentucky.
Sure, they had cultivated their Star Bodies. However, one must remember that Kentucky's defense had always been countless times higher than the twins. What the twins used to defend themselves during battles had always been Rean's weapons and their defensive skills, like the Reversive Arcs from Roan's Death Style. Obviously, neither of the two would be useful against such a thing.
Even if the twins had the correct grade of Star Body for their actual cultivation, which was Third Grade, they would be behind. After all, Kentucky was a Divine Demon Beast. At most, the twins would only have a far stronger body than other cultivators at the same level.
As for Hurio, he didn't have much of a choice as he also held tight onto Kentucky. He had his own way of saving his life if necessary, but he didn't want to bring those out yet.
*Bang!*
And so, Kentucky felt like he was struck by a heavy hammer as his body was sent flying like a cannonball, at a speed far faster than what he could achieve by flying himself. The twins and Hurio didn't suffer as much as him because Kentucky's body protected them. Nevertheless, it wasn't over. The shockwave was as fast as Kentucky, so after the initial slam, it enveloped Kentucky's group.
Kentucky then hit the ground while Rean's group held him and began to kick nonstop. However, that shockwave wasn't the only one. The giant snake and the dinosaur continued their skirmish, creating even more shockwaves that overlapped over the first one.
In any case, Kentucky closed his wings around Rean, Roan, and Hurio as he kept kicking nonstop. At the same time, Rean's body burst with Light Element as he healed Kentucky's injuries on the spot. Roan also kept pouring his Divine Soul Power into Kentucky to increase the latter's defense.
That situation continued for over a minute until finally, the twins' group had been sent so far away that the shockwaves could finally be resisted at their current level. However, they didn't relax. "Kentucky, let's leave this place, quickly. If their battle heads in our direction, we might really die here."
Kentucky didn't have to hear it twice before he opened his wings and took flight once more. The shockwaves still made his body lose some balance, but he endured it with the help of the twins' power and his own. Eventually, a few minutes later, the twins could only feel small changes in the Divine Energy from the battle between the snake and dinosaur-like ancient beast. They seemed to finally be somewhat far away from that battle. Also, it seemed like the ancient beasts didn't want to leave that place either, so Kentucky landed straight away to recover.
"That… was scary," Rean couldn't help but say.
Kentucky and Hurio nodded in agreement while Roan closed his eyes to recover his energy. Rean then looked at Hurio and said, "You told us how strong the ancient beasts were, but I didn't expect it to be this ridiculous. Even with bodies of that size, they could move so fast. Their power was beyond anything I had ever felt before."
Hurio agreed with Rean, saying, "As I told you before, this is my first time in the Lost Star Realm. What I knew about this place was what I learned through the records. I'm just as impressed as you. Reading about it and seeing it with my own eyes are two different things."
Roan then commented, "Transition Realm cultivators would be the same as ants in front of those two. In fact, I doubt a Void Tempering Realm cultivator would have the gall to get too close to them, either. The fact they moved that fast with how big their bodies is definitely because they have huge control over Spatial Powers. Maybe even the realm above Void Tempering wouldn't be enough to match it."
Hurio and Rean couldn't find Roan's words more true. Rean then looked at Kentucky before sending him a Divine Sense Message, asking, 'How are you? Any grave injury that needs healing?'
Kentucky shook his head. 'I'm fine. I did break a few bones, but both you and I have Light Element healing abilities. We were able to mend them back in just a few seconds after they broke, so I'm fine right now. I just need to recover my Divine Energy. I used a lot to protect myself against the shockwaves.'
After that, the twins' group stayed in that place only for a few more minutes. After all, the ancient beasts were still very close, even if they weren't heading their way. Eventually, they jumped on Kentucky's back and took flight once again. However, it was then that Rean noticed something. "Wait! We shouldn't leave."
Roan and Hurio looked at Rean with puzzled expressions. Can't he see that this place was still too dangerous?
Rean then organized his thoughts before saying," Hurio, ancient beasts shouldn't fight each other, right?"
Hurio nodded in response. "That's what I found in the records, so I can't guarantee you that. However, that's supposed to be the case."
Rean continued, "In that case, what exactly could make those two fight each other?"
Roan's eyes lit up, understanding where Rean was coming from. "Maybe they were fighting over one of those extremely rare…. Divine Origin Energy areas."
