Chapter 909 - What Is This Place?

Rean and Roan wanted to ask Sister Orb what was happening. However, before they could say anything, a huge wave of energy assaulted the group of demon beasts, humans, and Zasfins. It was so powerful that even the Transition Realm Zasfins and Stage Nine Demon Beasts couldn't fight against it.

Rean and Roan immediately braced themselves, preparing to fight against it with all their might. However, it was then that Sister Orb's voice echoed in their minds, telling them, [Don't resist. This is Higher Realm Energy, which no one in this place can fight against. The more you struggle, the worse it'll become. Just relax and wait and see what it's trying to do.]

Rean and Roan then used their Spiritual Senses to tell Red, Kentucky, and Phex the same thing, which made them stop struggling straight away. The other experts noticed that Rean's group wasn't doing anything and wasn't being affected. Thanks to that, they understood that there was no point in fighting against it. The energy then entered their bodies as well before they began to get lifted up in the air.

*Vup, vup, vup, vup...*

One after another, everyone began to disappear. Rean and Roan could immediately tell what was happening, instantly thinking, 'Spatial powers. All of them are being teleported away.'

Roan then looked at Celis, Red, and Kentucky before using his Spiritual Sense to talk, saying, 'Let's try to send them into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.'

Rean narrowed his eyes in response, asking, 'But the system won't allow them to enter during a dangerous situation, did you forget?'

Roan immediately answered, 'Of course not, idiot! The system's rules say that we can't send anyone into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm when we're in a dangerous situation. However, are we in a dangerous situation? That's up for the system to decide. If the system allows us to send them inside, then we at least know there's no danger ahead. If it doesn't, then you better brace yourself.'

Rean had to admit it was a very clever way of using the system's rules to detect danger. 'Alright!'

One must remember that Spiritual Sense messages were almost instantaneous, so not even a second had passed before the twins decided to do that. Unfortunately...

[Access denied!]

The Soul Gem System immediately blocked their attempt. In any case, that was enough for them to understand that whatever was coming would not be anything simple. 'Be prepared. We might instantly enter a fight once the teleportation is finished.'

*Vup!*

Suddenly, Roan disappeared.

*Vup! Vup! Vup...!*

Kentucky, Red, and Celis followed suit, leaving Rean last.

*Vup!*

Eventually, with a flash of silver and red light, Rean disappeared as well. In a matter of a few seconds, there wasn't a single Zasfin, human, or demon beast standing in front of the Bestial Sacred Ground's entrance anymore. Nevertheless, one thing was sure, they were definitely sent somewhere inside this new crimson world.

Rean's vision blurred for a moment, which only lasted a second or so. Once everything had returned to normal, he noticed that he was underwater, not able to breathe. Rean didn't panic, though. Cultivators at his level could already use Spiritual Energy to replace oxygen.

After doing that, he looked around and checked the surface above. Of course, everything still had a red glow to it. Rean then tried to use his Spiritual Energy to fly, just to find out that he couldn't move a single centimeter. 'I can't fly?' Even though he was underwater, he used the same method that cultivators use to fly, so he soon understood he couldn't do that. 'Let's get out of the water first.'

Rean then began to swim back up to the surface...or so he tried. Unfortunately, something grabbed his leg, trying to pull him down. 'What?!' Rean was shocked since he didn't feel anything with his Spiritual Sense. No, to be more specific, his Spiritual Sense couldn't even leave his body!

Rean was dragged down several meters before he finally took out his Black Star to attack the assailant.

'Death Style, Third Form, Thee Claws of the Dragon!'

*Swish, swish, swish!*

*Roar!*

Surprisingly, even though Rean was underwater, he could still hear sounds normally. That's why he heard the scream of the beast who tried to pull on his leg. Blood spread everywhere in the water, turning it even more red than it was before. Fortunately, Rean was able to find out what kind of creature had attacked him. 'That sure does look like those Krakens from those films back on earth.'

Of course, it was smaller than those in films. It's just that its size was still several times bigger than Rean. 'Hmm...now that I think about it, there was some kind of giant squid back on Earth as well. This guy looks quite similar in size.'

Of course, Rean quickly put those thoughts behind as the squid, or octopus, or Kraken or whatever, launched itself against him. Unfortunately for that squid-like creature, the difference in power between Rean and the monster was just too big.

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'

Because he was underwater, Rean didn't use any of his Life Fire Skills as they would have limited effect. Nevertheless, Crescent Moon was more than enough to leave a deep cut on the head of his opponent, as well as cut off a few of its tentacles.

The squid understood that it selected the wrong opponent and immediately turned around to flee. Rean didn't have anything against the squid either since it was pretty obvious that it had no sentience. It only thought of him as food and attacked to get a meal. That was all. He simply let it go as he made his way back to the surface.

Unfortunately for him, the monster's blood attracted a lot of attention. Several aquatic monsters began to arrive from everywhere, trying to find the source of the blood. 'Fuck!'

Rean immediately used his Enhancement Skill and Spiritual Energy to swim faster. Every movement of his legs propelled him several meters at once since it had the power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator behind it. Eventually, Rean shot out of the water just before a huge battle started below. Rean wasn't their only target. Instead, anything that could become a meal would be aimed at.

With that in mind, he asked himself inwardly, 'Just what is this place?'
