Death... and me

Chapter 2694  Unexpected Improvement

Going a little back in time, other experts didn't have such an easy time. They couldn't see the world of elements. After all, Luan's eyes were special. He wasn't the only member of the Sacred Eyes Race, but it wasn't like there were many of them to start with. One might turn a corner, and a Wonder Beast might be right there. "Fuck this shit!" Sansara was running through the tower as fast as he could. The rooms, doors, and corridors flashed past his eyes as he didn't have time to pay attention to any of them. Black Locust was nowhere to be seen. Sansara and Black Locust were forced to separate after bumping into one of those Wonder Beasts. As for Peak Divinity Realm Devils, they followed another path some time ago under Black Locust and Sansara's orders.

The two were Semi-Celestials and had high Chaos Cultivation. At first, none of the two cared too much about Wonder Beasts. Even if there were several of them, with their combined power, they could easily take care of the situation... or so they thought.

Yet, that Wonder Beast was just like the ones Luan was avoiding. It had several times with more concentrated Chaos Laws and Energy, making it a truly strong opponent. And inside this tower, where the concentration of these two things was even higher, the Wonder Beast could display a lot more strength.

Black Locust initially attacked the Wonder Beast. Yet, not only did his attack have little effect, but the Wonder Beast took the chance to flash through his defenses and pass through his body. Black Locust almost lost control of his Chaos Cultivation, and a few parts of his body even changed into a mess of elements.

Seeing that, Sansara became serious and attacked as well. Unfortunately, the Wonder Beast seems pretty much immune to everything. Even their Chaos laws covered abilities had little effect against it. Black Locust was especially bad due to the first time the Wonder Beast passed through his body, so Sansara had to fight while defending Black Locust. Devils weren't exactly friendly with each other most of the time, but Sansara knew that Semi-Celesitals were too important to the underworld. Otherwise, he would have abandoned Black Locust and fled a long time ago.

Sansara's efforts paid off. Black Locust was able to stabilize himself and cut away the parts he couldn't protect with his Chaos Cultivation. Regrowing the lost parts of his body wasn't an issue at his level either, although he spent quite some energy before he could do it.

The two joined forces and began to suppress the WOnder Beast... but not by much. The battle went on for over ten minutes before they could finally pinpoint the Wonder Beast's Core. Finally, with a precise attack from Black Locust, while Sansara held it down, they broke the Wonder Beast's Core.

Just like the Wonder Beasts from outside, it immediately began to disappear. Black Locust and Sansara sighed in relief. Yet, they could see the tension in both their eyes. If the two of them hadn't worked together, it would have been very difficulty to take it down without using their Semi-Celestial Power of Changing the Laws. It was then that they noticed something. The Chaos Laws coming from that powerful Wonder Beast were now leaking, making them feel closer to the laws than ever before. The Wonder Beasts from outside never gave them this sensation. They nodded at each other, excited. They quickly began to absorb the Wonder Beast's Chaos Laws and Energy. Sure enough, they felt that their comprehension of laws moving again. It was a weird thing. Both of them thought they had long since comprehended all their affinity-related laws. What they needed was Celestial Laws. Yet, their Major laws seemed to be given another step.

For a moment, they thought about a theory. A Celestial Realm expert can control the Celestial Laws and Change the Major Laws as they see fit. That was the theory. They already had full comprehension of the Major Laws, and yet they were improving toward them. Could it be that the Celestial Laws were an evolution of the Major laws?

There was only one way to confirm, continue to absorb more of this powerful Wonder Beast's Chaos Laws and Energy... or so they wanted to. Not even ten seconds passed when suddenly, their instincts warned them. They stopped absorbing the dead Wonder Beasts and quickly looked around just in time to see another of those Wonder Beasts appearing.

At first, they weren't too worried. They could deal with it just like they did the last one. However, little did they know that the death of a Wonder Beast acted as an alarm. That wasn't the only Wonder Beast coming their way. A minute later, Black Locust and Sansara were already fighting three of those Wonder Beasts, and they definitely didn't have the upper hand. As they wondered if they should use their power to change the Laws to increase their strength, more Wonder Beasts appeared. By now, they would need to be idiots to not understand they somehow pocket the hornet's nest. The two quickly gave up the fight and reluctantly fled from the dead Wonder Beast they defeated. The new Wonder Beasts naturally pursued. Not only that, they seemed to know exactly were they were going.

More Wonder Beasts appeared as the two fled through the empty rooms and corridors of the first floor. They understood they were being tracked somehow. But since none of the Wonder Beasts seemed to be targeting one of them specifically, they couldn't tell who was the source of that tracker.

In the end, Sansara and Black Locust decided to separate. There were already ten Wonder Beasts pursuing them, and if it continued like that, they might have even more soon.

That's how we came to this point where Sansara fled as Wonder Beasts pursued him. After separating from Black Locust, half of the Wonder Beasts came his way while the other half pursued Black Locust. That confirmed the two of them seemed to be tracked. It was at that moment that Sansara found something... A hole... on the wall..
