Chapter 1322 – I’ll Go Too
As Hurio mentioned before, areas with Divine Origin Energy only last for a few hours before completely disappearing. Perhaps that's why Hurio didn't find any record of ancient beasts battling each other. That's because such areas were extremely rare, and having two ancient beasts close by was even more so.
"But…" Hurio couldn't help but feel a chill on his back as he asked, "Do you really want to get close to those two?"
Rean and Roan bitterly smiled in response. Indeed, just the shockwaves of their battle were already powerful enough to kill them. What if one of those two decide to attack their group? Even if one of the two lost and fled, would the other one let Rean's group get close? They haven't forgotten how much faster either of the two gigantic ancient beasts was in relation to Kentucky. It wasn't even worth putting both in the same conversation.
In any case, Rean thought about something that made sense, telling them, "So far, I haven't felt their Divine Sense at all. Do they use Divine Sense?"
Hurio immediately shook his head, saying, "Seems like you're unaware of what happens when one enters the Void Tempering Realm."
Rean and Roan immediately got curious. "What do you mean?"
Hurio then explained to the twins, "At the Void Tempering Realm, cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits still use Divine Sense. After all, that's the best way to see things afar. However, that's not the thing they rely the most on when it comes to preventing oneself from being ambushed or when looking for someone at the same level or above. Instead, they rely on space itself."
"Space itself? How does it work?"
Hurio continued, "A Void Tempering Realm being will start to grasp the power of space, which causes the space around them to act in a different manner to anyone below that realm. This is something you can't hide at all. It's simply impossible as far as I know."
"The problem is that anyone at that level can detect when the space around them turns out like that. Let's make an analogy. Think of a spherical room that has nothing in it and is very well illuminated on all sides, with no shadows at all. Suddenly, you throw a black ball somewhere in that room, no matter which side. That would be extremely easy to see, don't you think?"
Rean and Roan nodded in response. "So, what you're saying is that anyone at the Void Tempering Realm or above will see anyone at the same levels as a big black point inside their detection range. Concealing abilities simply have no use at all."
Hurio confirmed Roan's words, nodding. "Exactly. Each and every being at those levels will shine brightly as long as they're inside each other's detection range."
Rean couldn't help but ask after that. "But… we aren't Void Tempering Realm cultivators, right? With that in mind, would we also appear inside the detection range of those ancient beasts?"
"This…" Hurio was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, he was thinking about cultivators at the Void Tempering Realm and above. It's just that no one under this level would ever try to get close to those ancient beasts. Because of that, Hurio automatically put his group in the same scenario. "I… don't know? I'm not a Void Tempering Realm cultivator, so I don't know if the spatial detection ability they rely on works on a cultivator at a lower level. You know why, right?"
The twins nodded. "That's because anyone at that level would have very strong Divine Sense. It's hard to think about an ability that can hide people at lower levels from their Divine Sense to start with. With that being said, we can't be sure if their natural spatial detection ability also works on us."
*Boom!*
*Roooooar!*
Suddenly, their group heard that same roar again. It's just that it was much further away than the first time, so it had little effect on their cultivations. Following that, the tremble of the ground, which had been constant until now, began to reduce until it finally stopped. "It seems like those two had finally reached a conclusion. Considering the movement of the ground took some time to finally die down, I think it's safe to say that one of them fled, leaving only one behind."
They all looked at each other, wondering if it was worth a shot or not. Hurio had already learned about Rean's Light bending skill, which was incredible. It really made one 100% invisible. Not to mention that the ability itself was undetectable. After all, it only bent light and nothing else. It was useless against Divine Sense, but they knew that ancient beasts didn't use Divine Sense to start with. After all, the stronger the Divine Sense, the easier it was for the twins to see it.
Eventually, the twins nodded at each other before looking at Hurio. "You better come down. Roan and I are heading there to check."
Hurio was taken aback. "Are you crazy?! If the remaining beast finds you and attacks, you're 100% dead for sure. Look at your cultivation level and age. It's obvious that you two have very high talents. You don't need to risk dying like that at all. Don't forget, you're just speculating that there is an area of Divine Origin Energy there. Those ancient beasts might have gotten into a battle for a completely different reason. I did tell you that we shouldn't be seeing so many ancient beasts outside of the depths of the Lost Star Realm, and it might be another one of these strange coincidences."
Rean nodded at Hurio after that, saying in response, "You're absolutely right to tell us that. However, Roan and I are in a hurry to cultivate and gain power as fast as possible. Even if it's just a possibility, we have to try."
Roan also nodded, although he didn't say anything.
Hearing that, Hurio was at a crossroads. Should he go or not? The Soul Binding Contract didn't force him to do anything like this, so he can totally leave the two right now. However, the words the twins spoke lingered in his mind, that they needed to gain power as fast as possible. It just so happened he was in the same situation.. "Fine! I'll go with you two! I would kill myself if I found out later that you two were right, so I might as well risk dying a little earlier."
