Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 583 Chased

Rainbows formed, and underneath these divine arches flew some of the most majestic beings I\'ve had the pleasure of seeing. Flood Dragons of all colors, Suzaku mythical birds, and even divine winged tigers moved about pouncing from on top of a cloud to another.

If one were to call this a celestial heaven, no one would disagree.

But from the might these beasts exude one can easily understand and realize that nothing is as it seems. Even from so far away one could feel the might behind these creatures, and if things like this exist, it means one of two things.

These beasts are mighty and strong enough to live unbridled and free, or that the people around them are so far stronger than these beasts that they treat them as pets.

Both cases mean one thing for me… I have no power or ability to deal with these things right now.

Just as I was about to start taking in the remaining scenery a powerful sense of distortion hit me.

I was falling, unable to keep afloat or high when Fu Shen rushed toward me and grabbed me by the arm.

"Strange…" I muttered. "It\'s as if the laws are different here…" I muttered.

"Not different, they\'re complete," he said.

That took me a while to understand but I had to agree, in a sense this is the \'real\' world. And the Vast Expanse was a copy.

The Vast Expanse came to be due to the Keys, but this world was originated using far more complex laws. This isn\'t to say that the laws I learned back in the Vast Expanse were wrong, they were just incomplete.

Soon the two of us came down all the way to the ground.

I could barely breath, Qi was stuffy and suffocating, I couldn\'t even use it but it was actively trying to penetrate into my body. And that was causing me issues.

"Sit down and stabilize yourself, I\'ll keep watch," he said.

I did as request and sat down, slowly rotating my cultivation base to synchronize myself with this new world and these new laws.

I felt like a fish trying to leave water and go into land. It wasn\'t easy, and it felt as if I was being rejected, but I had to grind my teeth and tide through this to get full acceptance from this world.

"The Beyond holds far more secrets than one can count or encounter in a lifetime. And some of these secrets could be as mundane as the grass one stands on or the very air one breaths. For you who come from the Vast Expanse, this might look mystical and mysterious, but for us it is simple and obvious, take in what you can and if you have any questions I\'ll reply you as best I can," he said.

"Yes…" I huffed as I took a strained breath after another, it felt suffocating and exhausting to even breath but I had no option but to do it.

"When you said you\'ll keep guard," I said through grit teeth, "I suppose you meant from cultivators right?" I said.

"Yes, indeed," he replied.

"Then you better get ready, one of them is coming over," I said as I nodded forward.

It wasn\'t something strange, since we literally went right through a spatial tunnel that crossed unimaginable distances, the opening of such a tunnel is bound to cause some alertness in the eyes of the people nearby.

And this one was one of them. Perhaps he thought it was a treasure revealing itself to the world, or maybe just curiosity, but since I have no brand on me, this man if he were to take a closer look he might think of me as prey to hunt.

"Fellow cultivators," the man said as he approached both of us. "What brings you here?" he asked.

Shen Fu looking him up and down and said, "leave if you wish to keep your life."

The cultivator didn\'t even dare argue, after all, he didn\'t notice Shen Fu\'s cultivator until Shen Fu spoke and released some of it. Only then did the man realize that he was way out of his league.

He turned and left instantly afterwards.

"You should have killed him," I said.

"Why?" Shen Fu replied.

"Two strange men appeared in a place where a spatial rift opened, one of them is mighty and strong enough to be a force to be reckoned with, the other is barely at the emperor stage. And they\'re both wearing different type of clothes, What would people think when they are informed of something like this?"

"…"

"Loose cultivators. We\'re not bound to a clan, not to mention if that man recognize you, wouldn\'t the that \'guy\' come looking for us?" the guy in question was the Darkest Sun, but I know far too damn well not to speak the name of a powerful person. After all, names have power, and once his name is spoken, I won\'t be surprised that that person could feel it and sense us.

"You\'re too paranoid Shen Mo, that man was probably also looking for an opportunity, everyone knows the price of curiosity, if one doesn\'t have the strength to back up their curiosity they will just die. That man had probably withdrawn and went back, and in case they informed anyone of my presence, they\'d have to mention my cultivation level. Although I\'m not the strongest, not many could just come and confront me."

"Even more reasons to kill that man," I said as I started feeling my cultivation stabilizing further and my body synchronizing more and more with the world.

"It\'s because you\'re too strong it\'s suspicious enough to have people question why you are here. Strength brings curiosity and too much of it brings suspicion. Once that man reports a powerful cultivator is now here, other powerful cultivators will take not of it and will come flocking, after all our arrival wasn\'t that secretive and that rift opening is bound to attract some questions, we need to leave soon," I said as I stood up.

Shen Fu clearly didn\'t have full faith in my words, but I\'m not planning on risking my neck in a strange world where I have no friends or companions to watch my back. I need to fully understand the situation first before I move forward, and getting suspicion from people isn\'t the best way to proceed with that.

"Have you stabilized enough?" he asked.

"Enough to move about, let\'s go," I said.

"Okay follow me," he said as he flew up and I followed after.

It only took some adjustment to be able to fly and I soon followed after Shen Fu.

Yet not before long, I felt several powerful Divine Sense crossing and scanning us.

"Well… shit," I cursed.

I had a feeling something like this was going to happen, just not this fast…
