Death... and me

Chapter 2568  Kentucky's Sorrow

Rean immediately refused. "Fuck that! If it was already this bullshit, I might as well not hear the next."

Roan wasn't like Rean, though. "Ignore the idiot and just speak already."

[That's more like it.] Sister Orb was happy to hear that. Right after, the cultivation technique appeared in the twins' minds. Rean's expression turned ugly. Not only he but even Roan seemed to be shocked by what he just saw.

-Manipulate and Change the Major Laws of Light and Darkness before merging them into one's body.-

"Impossible!" The twins said at the same time.

[That's what the system's cultivation technique says,] Sister Orb added.

However, it was indeed an impossibility in Rean and Roan's minds. Manipulating the laws wasn't really an issue. Even now, at the Space-Time Realm, the twins can already control a little of their Light and Darkness Laws. Once they enter the Divinity Realm, they will have to merge the Sub-Laws of both elements into the Major Laws of Light and Darkness. It would be even easier to control the laws by then.

The big issue was in the second requirement, 'CHANGING' the Major Laws so that they could merge those laws into their bodies. Changing the laws... was something only experts like Huban, Kafan, and other Semi-Celestials could do.

That wasn't all. From what the twins can see, the process of acquiring the Seventh Grade Starlight Body would take even longer than it took for the twins to absorb their own stars' pieces. One must not forget that Kafan, Huban, and the others are not really Celestials. They are still in the Divinity Realm. They failed to breakthrough and got stuck in between the Divinity Realm and Celestial Realm.

Because of that, none of them can change the laws that easily. It is something they can only do for a short time, a few minutes at most, and doing that without being in the Celestial Realm has a huge price to pay. They will forget their own comprehension of their own laws and will have to learn them again. The longer they keep changing the laws around them, the more they forget, and the longer it will take to comprehend them again. Back on the other side of the Universe, Kafan, Roan's Master, said that just to communicate with Huban on the other side of the Universe, he now needed to spend a few hundred or maybe over a thousand years to relearn what he forgot. And that exchange between him and Huban only lasted a few seconds at most.

So, obviously, becoming just a Semi-Celestial was useless since the twins would need to spend over a month or more doing exactly what Kafan and the other can do for a few minutes only. The only way to acquire the Seventh Level was indeed to reach the Celestial Realm, the same Realm all top experts of the Universe dream of reaching but no one has ever succeeded. It makes the word 'impossible' look like an understatement.

"Forget this shit," Rean decided to ignore. "Let's just pretend we didn't see anything."

Roan wasn't the type to look away from a problem, but this time, he had to agree with Rean. "That's our only choice, it seems." He then turned to Rean and threw his White Star Scythe at him. "Before I forget, cutting a piece of my star damaged my weapon a little. Get it fixed." Right after, he left the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Not only did he leave, but he also used his connection with the Dimensional Realm to pull Kentucky out with him. Rean's mouth twitched as he looked at the Scythe. "Sigh... Well, I can't say much since I also got my Black Star damaged in the end. Those Dwarves were just too fucking dense..." Rean didn't waste time and teleported directly to the Blacksmith Workshop. The other members were there, working on their own projects. Rean didn't need their help for this, so he went to work on his own and left everyone alone.

Outside, Kentucky could only accept the outcome and travel with Roan once again. However, Roan decided to stop by the next planet on his way. He might not know where he is, but it was easy to follow the stars once you know the tricky regarding their light, courtesy of Rean. There was bound to be a solid planet somewhere.

Sure enough, through the use of Spatial Gates, Roan found a barren planet a few days later. It was far from having an environment capable of giving birth to life, which was just perfect.

*Boom!*

Using nothing but his own body, Roan began to destroy things on the planet's surface. 'Not bad... My body's strength increased by at least 50%. If I add my Sky Energy to the mix, I might indeed be able to fight a Peak Stage Space-Time Realm expert head-on and have a good chance of winning.' Before, he could only guarantee that against a Late-Stage one, so the progress was indeed remarkable. Roan then looked at Kentucky, who felt a chill on his back. "W-What? Let's not waste time and continue our journey, yeah? No time for painful ideas."

Roan completely ignored and attacked Kentucky with his body and Sky Energy. What better test of his prowess as a Body Cultivator than to Fight a Regal Minokawa? Well, considering Roan had no weapon and wanted to test the power of his body, he indeed fell a little short of Kentucky's power. Kentucky was indeed a level above when it came to brute force and defense. As for Kentucky, even though he 'won' that exchange, he didn't feel th least bit happy. During almost an entire hour, Kentucky and Roan exchanged blows, quite a torturous and painful process.

How did it last this long? 'It's all Rean's fault,' Kentucky thought. After all, both Kentucky and Roan could use Rean's Instant Recovery skill. So, until they finally ran out of energy, the brawl didn't stop, much to Kentucky's sorrow.
