Death… And Me

Chapter 1104 - True Love

Chapter 1104 - True Love

As soon as Cassia gave the order, tens of thousands of screams could be heard as cultivators outside the stream fell down. However, no one was worried that they might die. The only ones who died were probably the ones who were directly killed during the fights for the streams. That's because everyone there should at least be in the Soul Transformation Realm. Considering their cultivation alone, they should be more than able to resist the fall to the ground. One must remember that air resistance would not increase their falling speed past a certain point.

Nevertheless, the fights continued. That's because in the last few seconds before the formation was deactivated, everyone simply jumped right inside the stream, not minding anything else. Everyone wanted to pass the first test at all costs.

Of course, there wasn't enough space for everyone, so people began to be pushed out nonstop. Some were already dead when that happened, others seriously injured, and some simply got pushed even though they didn't get hurt.

The guardians of the participants couldn't help but feel a bit of pain while watching. Many of their talented disciples were dying nonstop. Those were talents that would help command the future of their countries, so it was quite disheartening to watch in their eyes.

Of course, there were some who didn't feel anything as their countries were too strong to be threatened by other small powers. Not to mention that similarly strong countries wouldn't target themselves as both sides would only lose because of that.

Of course, that didn't mean the small countries would all be rooted out. First of all, powerhouses like Huring, Klacks, Tenke, Volava, and Holand were rare. They barely made 1% of the total number of participants. With that being said, the majority of the participants were from middle and small powers.

Time quickly passed, and 10 minutes went by in a flash. At this point, over 70% of the participants were already eliminated, just like that. However, it was also possible to see which powers were standing out in the middle of the mess. Other than the obvious ones, a few got the observers' attention.

The Clufel Country, a country that had many Demon Beast Trainers. A Beast Tamer's power could also be considered the beast's power. There were no rules as to how one should stay inside the streams, so it went without saying that many of Clufel's participants used their own Flying Demon Beasts to do that. As long as they were there, it was fine as far as the Sacred Land was concerned. Fairness? The journey of cultivation had never been fair to start with.

Another one standing out was the Frio Country. The environment there was greatly inclined towards the Wind Element. Because of that, Wind Element Affinity cultivators were the majority in this country, which helped a lot with this specific test. Even the stronger countries didn't try to get close as this floating environment truly favored Wind Element cultivators. It's not that they were afraid, but that they would lose too much just to get rid of this unknown power. They simply thought that those cultivators from Frio would fall in the next tests.

Last but not least, there was the country that called most of the attention of the observers and the cultivators around, Kamos Country! Well... it couldn't be helped. After all, no one could see the Divine Energy Stream nor the cultivators inside it. All they could see... was a huge dark sphere moving around them. Even if they didn't want to, they would still see that thing going back and forth as the Divine Energy Stream wouldn't stop.

Cassia couldn't help but comment, "That's quite an interesting ability. The boy is using strands of Divine Energy like an invisible web to guide his Dark Element. It's just that there are so many that even when people pass through them, the others support the ability. It's useless to cut them away. If you don't use an attack that covers a huge area at once, the darkness will prevail. Even so, the strands would grow back straight away, giving no more than a second of vision for the other side before everything goes dark one more. If others want to get rid of it, they would have to eliminate the source first."

Fabio was surprised to hear such a high-level comment from Cassia. He had come here two more times in the past, and it was always Cassia who presided. He knew that it was extremely rare to hear that old woman praising someone.

It was then that a man on Cassia's side added, "That isn't all. That white-haired boy is also interesting. His Anti-Divine Sense ability is quite superb. He can't stop our Divine Senses as we are too powerful. However, everyone in the Saint Realm there is definitely having a problem. They need to get close if they want to see with their Divine Senses. Those two boys' abilities complement each other."

Cassia looked at the man and asked, "Aven, what do you think about his concealment ability?"

Aven pondered in silence for a bit before saying, "I can feel a slight amount of Light Element covering every person from that white-haired boy's country. I guess he's somehow using it to achieve this result. I'll have to ask more later, though, as I've never seen a pure Light Element concealment ability."

Cassia smiled in response. "Those two are basically identical to one another. It's obvious that they're twins. Not only that, but they're both born with opposite affinities. That much I can tell."

Aven nodded in agreement. "Opposite elemental affinities, but they still found a way to work together to such a high degree. It would have been much better if they had focused on their own things, don't you think? I can only imagine how much they must like each other to grow together to this extent. It's true brotherly love."

Fabio's mouth twitched in response when he heard those words. He might not know Rean and Roan for long, but there was one thing he was certain of. The twins absolutely detested each other's existence. 'I wonder what would they think if they knew the truth....'
