Death… And Me

Chapter 2979: Profit

Chapter 2979: Profit

?

At first, Klifon was worried about the Sunlight Beasts when they started to become too strong. They passed by a few that were definitely as strong as Saint Realm experts. He even saw one that was most likely above Saint Realm in strength. Yet, just like the cultivators previously, the Sunlight Beasts seemed to not be able to see his group.

That wasn't anything surprising. The Sunlight Beasts use Yang to identify their targets. If it doesn't comply with the environment's Yang and Sunlight Energy properties, it definitely isn't something from here. However, who was Rean? Controlling the Yang Energy around his little group was way too easy. Others wouldn't be able to do it, though. Not even the Sun Urpins.

Finally, Klifon had to accept that this place simply didn't present any danger to the twins or himself. If the beasts couldn't see them, what could go wrong?

Stronger Sunlight Beasts entered Klifon's perfection, and Rean avoided them just in case. It was then that they saw an area where a fierce battle took place not long ago. The Sunlight Energy was chaotic and the place was filled with Sunlight Beasts.

Rean's Spiritual Sense, not being restricted, was able to see further inside. "Hum... a few bodies in there. Wait! Isn't that..."

Rean saw one body he barely recognized. Only part of the face remained, and it was still hard to identify due to the burns. "Yes, there is no doubt. It is one of the Transition Realm experts we saw at the entrance before. I don't know his name, though." There were many Transition Realm experts back then, so it wasn't like Rean knew them all.

Klifon got nervous again. "Transition Realm?! Then let's get out of here!"

Roan had his arms crossed as he looked at the situation. Suddenly, he felt a ripple coming from the body. "He is not dead yet, but he isn't far from it either."

Rean was surprised. "Death Energy?"

Roan nodded. "All the other bodies have it, except the Transition Realm guy. It feels like he partially gave up his body and is now using it to hide his soul deep. That's why the Sunlight Beasts can't detect he is still alive. He paid a big price for that, though. Even if he comes back from there, he will definitely plummet from the Transition Realm, maybe fall from the Elemental Transformation Realm as well."

Klifon already began to make his way out of there... but he could not move much since he needed Rean's protection against the Sunlight Energy. "What are you waiting for? Let's get out of here. If these Sunlight Beasts could kill a Transition Realm and his subordinates, then let alone the three of us."

Roan nodded. "He is right. There is no point dwelling here." He also turned to leave. He wasn't a saint, after all.

However, Rean pondered a bit. He was confident he could reach the body without being detected. "Perhaps we can get more information from him, don't you think? Besides... look at the other bodies. They are all Elemental Transformation Realm experts. It is easy to tell due to the remaining energy in their Dantians and Cores."

Roan stopped, understanding what Rean meant straight away. "How could I forget that. Go ahead. You will have a better time not being detected near the Sunlight Beasts if we aren't with you. I'll keep Klifon protected against the environment's Sunlight Energy."

Rean didn't need to hear twice. He immediately flew ahead and selected a path through the Sunlight Beasts. Most of them were at least as strong as Elemental Transformation Realm experts, so being found by them would definitely mean Rean's death. Nonetheless, Rean wasn't the least bit concerned.

He approached the first body... or what remained of it. The guy was basically charcoal now, and the Sunlight Energy wouldn't take long to destroy his body. Rean ignored that, though. Instead, he faintly smiled and looked at the guy's hand. There, a Spatial Ring was waiting for him.

Tens of corpses of Elemental Transformation Realm experts... and they all had their Spatial Rings. Just how many High-Level Spiritual Stones would they all have? One could already imagine. Rean definitely couldn't leave such a fortunate behind. Even if they don't find anything else in this Sunlight Realm, just these Spatial Rings will already make up for the trip. Rean collected the Spatial Ring and looked inside, thousands of Rank Four Spiritual Stones, another thousand or so Rank Five ones. Above all, the guy had 25 Rank Six Spiritual Stones separated with care inside small boxes. Now, they were all spoils for Rean to collect.

Rean didn't drop his guard. When a Sunlight Beast began to approach, he quickly analyzed the surroundings and selected another path through the beasts. Reaching the next body, he tried to collect the Spatial Ring. Unfortunately, this one was damaged, and the content inside wasn't accessible anymore. 'Sunlight Energy affects even the Spatial Rings, it seems.'

Rean wasn't disheartened and went to the next one. Another broken Spatial Ring.

Then the next. This one was still usable, and he quickly transferred everything to his own.

Then the next, also intact, although this guy wasn't that rich.

Then the next, the next, the next...

Finally, Rean reached the body of the Transition Realm expert. His Spatial Ring seemed to be of even higher quality, so it resisted the Sunlight Energy without a problem. 'Come to papa!'

Rean checked the contents inside, and his smile got even bigger. There were over a thousand Rank Six Spiritual Stones inside! Not only that, there were also 35 Rank Seven Spiritual Stones that brimmed with extremely pure and rich Spiritual Energy. 'As expected of one of the forerunners. Peak Transition Realm experts can't cultivate anymore, so they basically save everything. Don't mind if I make good use of these stones, friend.'

Rean then turned around, preparing to leave. However, he remembered Roan mentioning this guy was still alive and hiding his soul. Rean pondered a bit and sighed in the end. 'Fine... Consider the Spatial Ring the payment for bringing you out of here.'
