Chapter 550: Reunion (1/2)
The peace was broken with Wang Ling's sudden awakening. The bed he lay unconscious on was destroyed as he stood up in a haste. His abrupt and unhindered movement caused the qi to go berserk opening the roof to a more… ”open” style of sorts.
The roof was destroyed and so was the furniture inside. Wang Ling stood there, his eyes wide open as beads of sweat formed on his forehead, something had gone horribly wrong.
”Wang Ling, calm… down!” a loud, calm, and almost deadpan shout echoed and reached Wang Ling. From the mountains, a black and blue light pierced the air and reached Wang Ling striking him on the head.
The mountains shook, and the house's foundation crumbled to nothingness destroying what was left… yet, Wang Ling did not yet budge, ”Is something the matter?” said the two assaulters with their foot on Wang Ling's face.
Wang Ling looked at the twin, Yuan Ming, and Yuan Qing, his expression dire, ”You two, do you know how to get out of the Deity Paradise? There is someplace I have to—no…”
Wang Ling stopped talking as his expression suddenly warped and changed from that of sadness, ”Dammit, I couldn't even do anything! SHIT!”
BOOM!
Wang Ling shot up to the skies and forcefully tore open space itself just so he could leave. The twins watched from below and began contemplating… they finally decided to follow him after a few minutes.
[What do you think happened?]
[Who knows? Wang Ling had always been an enigma. But if I had to guess, I'd say it must have something to do with what Senior Akil said earlier. Anyway, let's just go after Wang Ling outside the World and then come back if he's already gone. We can tell the others, we did our best that way.] Yuan Qing answered Yuan Ming through telepathy.
The twins, however, suddenly began looking around the Portal created by Wang Ling. Its construct was magnificently built, its golden outline created without any usage of a medium made it seem perfect—because it really was.
They passed through the portal and then, stopped as they already found Wang Ling floating in the emptiness of space staring off into the distance where Abyssal Portals opened. The twins already lifted the seal on their cultivation allowing them to see partial of what Wang Ling could. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
”What happened here?” Yuan Qing questioned. It hadn't even been a complete two months since they left the outside of the Deity Paradise and all had already gone sideways.
The Deity Paradise was located South East of the Cosmos, just on the edge of the Outer Ring and the Seven Lowest Worlds. Wang Ling could see the damage dealt to the Cosmos… he was unable to say anything, and then, he turned his attention to his right and then to his left.
His eyes moved left and right, up and then down trying to gather as much information as he could. He could sense it, the change in the air… he could not say anything, and though he wanted to make his move… there were too much.
The Worlds were too far apart for him to cover, and Wang Ling, despite being who he was could not reach them. He could feel the fluctuating qi, there were hundreds of battlefield at the moment.
Wang Ling had always been decisive with his decisions, but, right now, he was the opposite of who he was. Something was hindering him… something that did not exist before, or at least something that had been weak for a long time—emotions.
