398 Blue Marble Plane (2/2)
He had been all around the this forest and the Sky Blaze City, yet he never encountered any new ascendants here in this forest.
Simply put, what usually happens when one ascends is that they will take a transmission portal towards a certain sect or power since they are the only one's that are allowed to build such things. They usually use it to search for prospective talents and disciples to join their ranks in the lower realms.
On the other hand, ascending to the Divine Realm without the aid of any transmission portals, is just plainly courting death. Unless one had an artifact that could safely shuttle in space, one must never blindly travel in space since their will be flattened by berserk spatial laws on their way.
Albert had met countless of young people who had just ascended before yet this is the first time that he met someone who used an unorthodox method of ascending. How can he not be surprised?
”Ah so that's the case.” Albert replied after diffusing the surprise he felt earlier. ”So that's why you were standing in place for a good while earlier. You were adapting to the new environment.”
”It is precisely as you said.” Raven smiled and nodded.
As the two travelled forward, Albert was nice enough to inform Raven about many things about the Divine Realm. This was greatly appreciated by Raven since it served to refresh his memories about the rules of the Blue Marble Planet.
Albert also suggested many places for him to visit, from vistas to cultivation grounds, smelting trials and he even informed him about various sects that held supremacy in the Blue Marble Planet.
Raven roughly replied to anything that Albert said, he instead listened carefully to his words and couldn't help but feel slightly strange in his heart.
'Who would've thought an aggressive looking man would be so talkative?'
All of a sudden, Albert suddenly saw Raven's face change. He saw him glaring at the nearby trees.
Albert froze, but he one could definitely tell that he was skilled since it didn't take long for him to send an energy pulse to survey his surroundings.
His eyes bulged from his sockets. With a cold snort, he pulled the metal club on his back and issued a mighty swing.
*Rumble!*
The winds howled, forming a strong tornado that quickly swept away many figures hiding behind the trees. Screams and groans of agony was heard from them.
With another swing of his club, the winds seemingly turned into countless of sharp swords that shredded through their bodies.
”Hmph! Damnable people. They actually laid out an ambush!” Albert snorted as jumped off of his mount. He then swiftly arrived towards one of the remaining assassins that hadn't lost consciousness yet.
He grabbed one by the neck. Killing intent rose up from his person as he asked: ”Who fucking sent you!?”
The assassin coughed blood as Albert's roar reverbed all over his body. The assassin issued a bloody smile and said: ”Want to squeeze information out from me? Wishful thinking! You might kill me today but your days are numbered!! Hahaha!”
All of a sudden, a fierce fluctuation emerged from the dying assassin causing Albert to curse.
”Shit! He's going to explode.” He then hurriedly threw the guy away and prepared to jump back but before he could do so, the dying assassin gripped Albert's arm and issued a maniacal smile.
He wanted to take Albert down with him.
At this instant, Albert turned pale. He was aware that he couldn't do anything since it was too late, even if he could somehow detach this guy's grip of him, the explosion will be strong enough to kill him either way.
”Hahaha! Die!” The dying assassin's last words caused Albert to turn pale, the berserk energy bloated his body and was nearly at the verge of exploding when…
*Whew!* *Whew!* *Whew!*
A set of flying needles struck the dying assassin in quick succession, accurately hitting different spots and causing the berserk energy on his body to calm down.
The assassin's eyes constricted fiercely, he could feel his energy being drained at an alarming pace. Terror filled his eyes as he and Albert both mechanically turned their heads towards the inconspicuous person's who playing with a bunch of needles on his hand.
”Great, my aim is still the best.” Raven smiled as he calmly walked closer towards the two dumbfounded people. His gaze then laded on the assassin's eyes and said:
”Now we can talk nice and slow.”
