1828: Strong Wall

Strong Wall

Dotrufe Region was one of the regions still not conquered by any of the four powers with anti-cultivation suppression formation badges. As mentioned by Fosleve, only 50% of the regions had fallen into the hands of other regions, but that did not mean Walfure and the others conquered all of them. There were other successful regions that were able to keep their lands or even conquer neighboring regions without the badges. Dofrute was one of them.2

Rlakux looked at the other three demons and said, "Sajax, Libork, Renla, get rid of the corpses. We need to go."

"Understood." In response, those three quickly destroyed all the corpses, or what remained of them, before coming to Rlakux and Fratekla's side. "It's done. The old geezers outside the continent will probably think they fell for some trap. Well, they're not totally wrong."

Rlakux nodded after hearing that. "That's enough for now. Let's go."

Meanwhile, Luina found herself with all the members of her Jamai Sect. She wasn't the only one, though. Everyone that entered the spatial gates was teleported to the same place as their companions. The only exception to that rule was the twins. "Have any of you seen Rean and Roan?"

Olly immediately looked around with his Divine Sense and replied, "No traces here. Could it be that they decided to stay out?"

Leticia quickly shook her head, saying, "No. I saw when they passed through the portal since I entered behind them. They were definitely teleported over, or so I think."

Andrile couldn't care less, though. He was still one of the few that didn't accept following the twins' orders but had no choice. "So what? Our objective hasn't changed. We have to take control of the Cultivation Suppression Formation. We can't waste time looking for them, so let's go."

Although the majority knew why he said that, they knew he was right. "Alright, we need to look for the formation. Everyone, move out!"

As everyone took flight, Luina could not help but narrow her eyes. She still remembered Roan's orders to try and stay out of danger. 'Could it be that this was what he was talking about?' Well, Rean and Roan didn't really know it was going to happen.

Back on the twins' side, Sister Orb warned them. [We're not heading in the direction of the Cultivation Suppression Formation. In fact, it seems like we'll end up thousands of kilometers away from it.]

'That's good,' Rean mentioned. 'We won't need to care about other experts from the other powers if that's the case.'

'We could have used them to pave the way into the danger, though.' Roan obviously wanted to send everyone ahead to test the waters, which wouldn't be possible anymore. 'Well, there was also the risk of being found by them, and fighting against that cultivation difference would be annoying.'

A region in the Realm of Gods was still a gigantic place. Even with the twins flying nonstop, it still took them over two weeks to arrive at their destination as this region had no teleport formations. Rean could build a teleport formation, but he would need to head to the two formations, the entrance and exit formation, to connect them. Obviously, that wouldn't be of much help.

Nevertheless, they finally saw some ruins in the distance. 'Is that the place, Sister Orb?'

Sister Orb confirmed their thoughts. [Seems like it. Although the fragment is very, very deep into it.]

Rean couldn't help but find it strange, though. 'I still don't understand why there's no monitoring whatsoever in this region.'

Roan pondered over it for a bit as they got closer to the ruins, suggesting, 'Two options. First, the spatial barrier covering this region makes the monitoring formation useless. Or second, they did it on purpose.'

'On purpose?' Rean asked back.

Roan nodded and continued, 'Yeah. They wanted this part of the test to have as little restriction as possible. Even if someone went against their commanders, as long as you eliminate the witnesses, you could still say that you had nothing to do with their deaths.'

'You mean the Space Bending Realm guys we recruited so far can turn on us while we're here,' Rean understood.

'Yes.' Roan agreed. 'Anyways, we still have almost all of our Jamai Sect's Space Bending Realm experts, while the ones we forced to surrender are part of several different powers. Luina and the others should be fine if they're careful.'

'Let's hope Luina followed your advice and didn't follow everyone but went away instead.'

*Fiu...*

Suddenly, Rean and Roan felt like their power of flight had disappeared as they started to fall from the skies.

"Shit, another anti-flight zone?" Rean couldn't help but curse.

[Seems like it. However, the weird thing is that it's not being caused by a formation, or I would have felt it and told you two beforehand. It's better to say that this whole area is affected by this weird power.]

*Bang, bang!*

Sometime later, Rean and Roan landed on the ground like falling meteors. Though, at their cultivation level and especially their Fourth Grade Star Bodies, simply falling from the skies wasn't enough to hurt them anymore.

The two then came out of the dust caused by their fall as they looked at the ruins ahead of them. "Let's take a look."

While keeping their Divine Senses spread out at all times, they quickly approached the ruins and found themselves in front of the gate. Well, there really wasn't a need to use the gate since all the walls had long since fallen. Even the gate itself was in tatters.

[Roan, send one of the stones from these ruins inside.]

Roan nodded and simply punched a wall in front of them. It would be better if he took a sample from deeper inside as it would not have been affected as much by the time.

*Bang!*

"This..." However, the wall didn't break at all. Other than making it slightly tremble with his punch, it was in the same state as before.

*Bang!*

This time, Roan used a bit of Divine Energy and the Star Body's strength to punch the same wall. Yet, the wall simply trembled more in response. Still no marks. "That's a hellishly sturdy wall..." He couldn't help but comment.

In the end, Roan simply took one of the stones on the ground and sent it inside. Breaking the wall with his power was simply not realistic at the moment.
