Death... and me
chapter-1331

Pondering over it, Rean decided to give Hurio one last help, touching his shoulder and healing him in just a few seconds. All of Hurio’s injuries disappeared in a flash, much to the others’ surprise. It was so astonishing that Lamanto couldn’t help but ask, “Is Light Element this efficient with healing?”

Rean nodded in response. “It has always been like this. Unfortunately, it seems like only someone with an affinity for this element can use it to heal. Using Yang Energy to manipulate Light Element doesn’t work in this regard.”

Lamanto didn’t find it strange, saying, “It’s the same as someone who doesn’t have Water Element Affinity trying to use it for healing. It doesn’t work either. A Water Element Affinity cultivator can naturally do it, though. However, I’m quite surprised that the difference between Water Element Affinity and Light Element Affinity in terms of healing is actually pretty huge.”

Mira agreed with Lamanto. “But then again, how many Light Element Affinity cultivators are out there? Perhaps he’s as rare as Hurio and his Energy Element Affinity.”

Rean immediately asked after hearing that. “Do you mean you have never seen anyone else with Energy Affinity before?”

Mira and the others nodded in response. “We do know that they exist, but we haven’t seen another person at least. It’s not like other odd affinities that are somewhat more common, like Metal and Wood.”

Roan could more or less guess why Hurio was so important. With his previous display of power and his fast cultivation due to his affinity, he was an ideal candidate to become a leader in the future. They probably don’t want him to take unnecessary risks. In any case, that wasn’t his nor Rean’s problem. “Forget it. Rean, let’s go to some corner and wait. We can’t go any further, but we can’t head back either. Something tells me it won’t take long before those guys decide to enter.”

Rean nodded in response and bid farewell to Hurio’s group once again. Seeing that, Mira couldn’t help but ask Lamanto, “Is it fine to let them be? They’re also after the Fallen Light Star Fragments.”

Lamanto then looked at Hurio, who was having a conversation with Lilia and sighed. “Hurio is probably alive because he followed those two. We do have a debt to owe them. Not to mention that he told me about the Divine Origin Energy area he enjoyed because of those twins. It saved him at least one or two years of cultivation. Of course, if it turns out that we find the same fragment, then we won’t let them have their way.”

Mira nodded after that and didn’t say anything else.

Back on the twins’ side, Rean couldn’t help but ask Roan, “How come you know they will move soon?”

Roan then pointed at the top ten powers’ groups. “Look at their expressions. They’re trying to hide it. However, it’s pretty obvious to me that they’re becoming tense as if waiting for something to happen. They had been in this place for several months, according to Hurio’s group. It wouldn’t make sense to look that tense all the way until now. Besides, I believe that rule of not letting anyone go ahead of them was something they decided to do only recently.”

Rean then looked at them and closed his eye before focusing on their life forces. After a few moments, Rean nodded, saying, “Indeed, their life forces are a little out of shape, a clear signal that they seem to be expecting something very important to happen. Perhaps a dangerous one at that.”

Then again, there wasn’t much they could do at the moment, so they sat down, took a few Divine Stones out of their spatial rings, and began to cultivate. In that fashion, four days went by when suddenly, a tremor assaulted the region around the two mountains.

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky opened their eyes and looked in the barrier’s direction. Suddenly, something that looked like a giant wave of white light appeared on the horizon behind the barrier. The cultivators on the other side showed frightened expressions and tried to leave the barrier at all costs. However, it didn’t matter how much they attacked it. The barrier didn’t even tremble.

Among them, Rean was incredibly shocked by that giant wave. That’s because he could feel the ridiculous amount of Light Element inside it even though it was so far away. “No wonder the guy stopped us from entering and told us we would soon find out why. So that’s what he was talking about.”

It turned out that the middle-aged man was helping the twins instead. It’s just that he was part of one of the top ten powers, so he couldn’t act too gentle in front of the others. The reason the other members of the top ten powers looked with dark expressions in their direction back then was that they thought the middle-aged man shouldn’t have intervened.

Well, Rean and Roan wouldn’t just simply believe the middle-aged man was trying to save their lives either.

That wave didn’t have only Light Element, though. Exactly because it was Light Element, Rean could feel what was inside as well. “Light Element and an extremely chaotic yet enormous amount of Divine Energy. If it was only Light Element, I would find no issues surviving it. But that Divine Energy is way too berserk. I doubt we would survive that for more than a few seconds.”

Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that. “Why would such a phenomenon be unknown by most people? It’s obvious these guys from the top ten powers know about it. With how huge it is, if it happens from time to time, we should have found something about it.”

Rean understood what Roan meant. “The ones who saw it kept their mouths shut, huh. Is that what you think?”

Roan nodded in response. “It doesn’t seem like they would attack us right now, and I’m not sure if they will or not. Perhaps they just bought the silence of those who know it. Perhaps there’s some other reason behind it. Who knows, although they know about it, it truly might be the first time it has happened, and they found out about it somehow. In that case, it would make sense if no one else knew. However, keep your guard up. Once we enter, we won’t move like everyone else. We won’t tail the top ten powers and instead head on our own path.”

Rean didn’t have anything against it, nodding as he replied, “Alright.”
