Chapter 444 - Attempt (2/2)
Shrooooooom!!!
A beam of starry-like shot out of the Deep Mines, painting the entire sky in the images of the vast starry sky with all sorts of planetary and galactic manifestations. Yan Zaizen and Shin Xuanji's heart trembled as a power that seemed to touch upon their existential core was emitted from that light.
Before long, the entire continent was covered in endless and boundless manifestations undergoing all sorts of transformations and transmutations. It was miraculously beautiful to the apex.
”Origin Path?” Yan Zaizen's heart nearly stopped as he recognized the source of this power. When he was in the Earthly Beginnings and Heavenly Endings Trial, Xiha had left behind an Origin Path Cultivation Method. He knew it was incredibly miraculous, but he never had time to truly cultivate it.
It relied on a form of unique power that originates from the core and innermost parts of existence and reality itself; both of oneself and all things. It was beyond profound and he didn't have much advantage in cultivating it as even the Non-Entity's body had very little benefits in helping develop it.
After several seconds of this celestial display, the light receded and a silver light that was like a minor star flickering at the last moments of its end exited from the Deep Mines. It shot upwards until it broke the atmospheric layers of the continent and entered the Deep Expanse, as if wanting to get as far away as possible from the Deep Mines.
Yan Zaizen and Shin Xuanji both looked towards each other, seeing the solemness in their gazes. With a step, they shot forward in chase. The silver light only stopped after several minutes of flight, revealing a figure that seemed exhausted and tattered.
It was Ezekiel, his eyes dim and his silver wings were flashing with brilliant light as if it was nearing its end. Yan Zaizen was struck with immense shock. What the hell happened?
When they both arrived, Ezekiel turned to face them, his dim eyes filled with failure. This was a very unique event in his life. He had faced two events that had never gone his way in his entire lifetime. The first was being devoured by Yan Zaizen and the second was now, stopped by this mysterious power within the Deep Mines.
The fear that lingered in those eyes of his made Yan Zaizen reconsider his calculations of being able to save his original body.
Ezekiel looked at Yan Zaizen, staring into his eyes, ”I saw your body.”
”What happened?” Yan Zaizen wasn't shocked that Ezekiel was at least capable of seeing his body.
Ezekiel calmed his haggard breathing and regained his posture, folding his wings into a state of rest. He continued, ”I have never seen such a peculiar power source, nor have I ever seen an endless hole. The hole exceeds the space the Continent occupies, leading to an unknown. I traveled about two minor realms worth of distance deep before I saw a very, very far glimpse of your body.
”It seemed to be far enough that perhaps the distance of two Major Realms would be appropriate, and it's sinking deeper. At an incredible speed. The mysterious power has a suppressive effect on all sorts of energies, it was insidious and invasive. Besides pure physical strength, I couldn't rely on anything there.
”The only reason I could leave was because of my wings and the only power that seemed to work…” Ezekiel paused. His wings had used their own power to fly, and like Yan Zaizen's ability to throw, it couldn't hinder such basic actions.
”Origin Power,” Yan Zaizen finished Ezekiel's sentence with a click of his tongue. Origin Power was an entirely different cultivation path, incredibly profound and insanely difficult to cultivate. It utilized an existential reality force-type strength that transcended the soul.
He didn't want to say it, but his Infernal Path and Herculean Path might not help him extract his body. If that was the case, he would be back to square one.
”Then why not fly using your wings and grab his original body?” Shin Xuanji asked.
Ezekiel's eyes snapped to Shin Xuanji, ”It's not so simple. The force not only suppresses, but pulls you further in. And, the further you go, the stronger the pull and suppression. If I went any further, I would've exhausted myself until I reached a depth where my stamina reserves could no longer send me out. I'll endlessly descend into that abyss without a way out.”
Shin Xuanji's heart shook. If that was the case, then wasn't Yan Zaizen's original body impossible to retrieve? The longer it took, the harder it became?
Yan Zaizen deeply sighed. This just got so, so much harder.
