Chapter 175: The Tetrahedron (1/2)
It was calm.
Despite the fight ongoing, the weather was gentle and cool, the clouds were smiling, the harsh sun was hidden in the sky. Plants grew bountifully. The grasses obediently absorbed the impact of the fight.
However, when Jake revealed the card and channeled his energy into it, everything peaceful became eroded by a turbulent atmosphere!
A huge boom sounded in the background as thunders struck the earth. The peaceful burnt too blue and threatened to burst apart. The sun bypassed the defense of the sky and move closer to the earth. All sorts of other natural chaotic events followed after their predecessor!
Even far away from Jake and the other candidate, the sea bed shrunk in size, and tsunamis raided other islands.
Meanwhile, the two in the eye of this grand storm were protected from the chaos around them.
Encased in a cool blue energy that had the same shade as the card, the two didn't know what happened next.
One moment, they were here, and the next, they were shuffling through the grand universe.
Being carried around by the card's energy, Jake tried to analyze everything he saw. It was all too familiar...the stars, planets, asteroids. His brain started to hurt as he bit more than he could chew.
He ultimately dropped the notion of analyzing and surrendered himself to this hyper-travel.
After a few more moments--seconds--minutes--days--........
Jake had completely lost track of time. If he was an ordinary person, he would think that he had just spent seconds.
However, Jake was someone that had a different time perspective due to the other. He could tell there was something wrong with the time. His natural body clock had wrapped around itself when it tried to measure time.
So, he could only drop that thinking and wait.
He waited and finally, the energy-carrying him stopped in a space with no visible stars.
The dancing particles in the space shone with familiar cool blue energy as they circled around him, welcoming him to a grand presence, but Jake could not see it!
He couldn't see anything except the particles.
*Srhzzz!*
Suddenly, his [Akashic Eye] starts to palpitate. Buzzing around like it sensed something unknown to Jake, the eye tingled with small electrical sparks, warning Jake of something, but the latter couldn't understand.
As he floated in this space, protected by the blue energy that covered his lungs and nose, Jake finally sensed something…...a foreboding warning!
He slowly turned around like a machine and found himself in the presence of a mind-blowing object.
No, it wasn't an object!
It was a triangular celestial body!. Its mere presence could send a mortal to instant comma, even death.
Its aura spread boundlessly, unfettered by the cultivators' concept of limits. It was in front of it that Jake remembered the reason for his existence.
Yes, Jake had pursued something like these. Not the strength this celestial body showed, but the perfection…...the neutrality…...the sense of infinity....
He knew he had tried his best, but he couldn't avoid getting dragged into the world's conflict, preventing from solely focusing on perfection.
