Death… And Me

Chapter 2015 Now Go

?

It made sense that they got enough since they hadn't had a breakthrough in quite a few years. During this time, Celis pretty much never stopped cultivating. Now, they can enter the Peak Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, just one step away from Space Bending.

Hearing that, Luan couldn't help but ask. "Are you going to have the breakthrough here?"

"Not here, but in the Dimensional Realm," Rean answered.

However, Sister Orb understood what Luan meant. [All creatures in this place are at the Void Tempering Realm of higher. If you two enter the Dimensional Realm and one of them is close by, it will attack the entrance to the Dimensional Realm you left behind.]

Rean knew they were right. "I see... Still, it shouldn't take long. It's just a stage breakthrough, not a Realm."

Roan agreed with him. "Indeed. Kentucky, Rean, and I can stay outside while Celis goes on with it inside the Dimensional Realm. If a creature appears, we can stop it midway. Also, Luan can keep on the lookout with his eyes."

"Leave it to me, Father!" Luan had no problem with it at all.

Kentucky continued to fly for a while until they found a place with a better view of the surroundings. Following that, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis immediately started their breakthrough. Naturally, Luan jumped to a higher point and watched the surroundings for anything out of the normal.

Several Divine Stones appeared outside, and the four guys started their process. Divine Energy increased several times as the stones turned to dust one after another. Although such a commotion had a higher chance of catching a swamp beast's attention, it was better than leaving the Dimensional Realm entrance wide open for attacks.

*Bom!*

After just a few minutes, a blast of Divine Energy spread out. At the same time, their cultivation began to increase nonstop. Finally, it stabilized in the Peak Stage of the Void Tempering Realm.

The twins' group quickly got up to their feet and looked around. If there were any swamp beasts nearby, they definitely felt the commotion. Yet, nothing appeared even after waiting for a moment. "Well... seems like we were lucky."

Kentucky quickly changed back into his Minokawa form. "I'm not in the mood to check if it is true. Let's take this chance that nothing happened and leave this place for now."

No one had anything against Kentucky's words. They all jumped on Kentucky's back, who left the area in a flash.

Little did they know, but the commotion of their breakthrough did catch someone's attention. A few hundred kilometers away, there was a stone building that seemed to have been abandoned for who knows how long. It was suspended by several of the old Swamp Trees, making it look like it was about to fall at any moment into the Swamp. Yet, it stayed sturdy in place.

Inside, there were three dark wood coffins. They looked to have been even older than the buildings, maybe even rotting. There were no signals of none of them being open in several years or perhaps even decades. But it changed today.

*Crank, crank, crack...*

The coffin lid on the left side began to move slowly, causing all the dust to rise in the air. Surprisingly though, what you had inside wasn't a corpse. If anything, the young man inside seemed very lively. Decaying Dark Elements from the surroundings entered his body continuously, but the young man seemed to enjoy that.

He looked in the direction where he felt the Divine Energy commotion a moment ago and began to think whether he should check it out or not.

'You shouldn't have broken your meditation state,' suddenly a Divine Sense Message spoke. It was coming from the coffin in the middle, and it didn't seem very pleased that the young man had opened his coffin.

'She is right. You are at a breakthrough juncture. You need more time to accumulate enough Dark Element.' Another Divine Sense, this time from the coffin on the right, added.

The young man looked at the two coffins and smiled. 'Mother, sister, you sensed that as well, didn't you? That wasn't a breakthrough of the demon beasts in this place. It was a living being breakthrough. Not only that, it was definitely from someone from outside the underworld. Most likely the Realm of Gods.'

The two coffins went silent for a moment, seeming to understand the meaning in the young man's words.

The young man continued from there. 'I can't let this chance escape. If I can get a living being's soul, my breakthrough will happen even faster. Not only that, it will have no flaws. It has been many years since all the living beings in mother's Dimensional Realm died. Sister is fine since she has already surpassed that juncture. But what about me? I need it!'

Finally, the coffin in the middle gave its approval. 'Very well. From what I could feel from here, the breakthrough was just at the Void Tempering Realm. That's nothing for someone at your level. Go quickly and return as soon as possible. Also, there wasn't just a single living being soul, but three. All the same.'

The young man's eyes shined in response. 'Great! A single Living Being Soul would have been hard. However, three souls will definitely give me a great chance. Thank you, mother!'

The mother in the coffin in the middle then turned her attention to the sister in the coffin on the right. 'Abelha, you go with your brother.'

'Ehhhh?' The sister didn't seem that pleased. 'They are just some ants.'

The mother was adamant, though. 'Shut up and just go. I couldn't feel any high-level expert's power, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Don't try to steal the souls for yourself. Your brother needs it.'

'Fine...' Abelha could only agree with it.

'Also, don't go too far away. Otherwise, you won't be able to find your way back here.' In the end, this coffin family is another victim of the Swamp who couldn't leave. 'Now go.'
