Death… And Me-Novel

Hundreds of cultivators, demon beasts and the few spirits in the main hall were sent flying by the shockwave of Spatial Powers and Elements. Considering the power of the strike alone, it was easy to tell that this elder was definitely far above the Void Tempering or Space Bending Realm. Quite a few who were caught by his strike's shockwave ended up dying straight away. Their low Transition and Void Tempering Realm cultivation were of no use against such force. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

However, the elder didn't look the least bit happy. If anything, only a bitter smile appeared on his face. Right in front of him, a woman stood tall, unshakable. Even though everything in the area got destroyed, the area around her, which included Erla and her team, was completely unaffected.

As Rean looked at it, he could see that space itself rippled. Not only that, there seemed to be several runes, but they weren't anything like the ones used in formations created by cultivators. To be more specific, they looked more like the natural formation runes. Those runes shimmered, completely nullifying the Spatial Powers coming from the elder of the Silver Horn Sturgeon race.

That woman was none other than Libraia, who just smiled back at the elder and said, "That's a no-no, you know? No one can harm the participants of the Jhiod Sect's recruitment while in the main hall. If you want to do something, wait for this female demon beast to head out or have someone else in the Void Tempering Realm or below deal with her during the tests."

The elder couldn't help but let out cold sweat after that. He knew that he had no chance of doing anything to Erla anymore, so he immediately tried to flee. Yes, he tried... unfortunately, his body couldn't even move a single step.

Libraia's runes weren't only protecting the area around Rean's group. Other than that, they were all around the elder of the Silver Horn Sturgeon race. Usually, those at his level would rely on their spatial power to do everything. Sadly, it was impossible for him at the moment. "Spatial Revoke!"

Libraia's eyes shone when she heard that. "Oh! So a little guy from a small race like you know about it. Oh well, I believe that leader of yours in the hotel a few kilometers from here is barely able to do the same. Well, that's correct. You won't be able to use Spatial Powers as long as I'm your opponent."

Libraia then looked around and sighed, saying, "You will never have the chance to reach this level, though. Not only did you break the rules and entered this place with that cultivation of yours, but you also killed many of the participants here. Unfortunately for you, I have to send you to accompany them to the underworld."

Libraia then simply turned her hand. Suddenly, those runes around the elder shot in his direction while emanating the power of space. The elder tried to summon all his Divine Energy, Elements, and even his Spatial Powers. Unfortunately, none of them worked. It was as if his own demon core was completely under Libraia's control.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Shatter!*

It was then that something incredible happened. Space itself broke apart within the elder's body. It was as if the elder's body was shattering like glass. That continued for a few seconds until the runes and Spatial Power disappeared. The moment they disappeared, the elder's body fell to the ground in a pool of crimson liquid. It was impossible to tell what were organs, bones, or just blood.

It didn't last long, though. With another wave of her hand, what was before the elder's body immediately disappeared without leaving a single trace behind. "Sigh... how many do they think tried to cause trouble in the Jhiod Sect's recruitment buildings around the continents? It's obvious that we would be ready for it. Well, I guess I did quite a poor job since I couldn't stop a few of the participants from dying. I shall take it as a lesson and do a better job next time."

Most of the participants and even the workers looked at Libraia with fear in their eyes. Others, on the other hand, couldn't help but dream about reaching her level. As for Rean and Roan, they were just relieved Rean wasn't killed by that elder as a side effect. They didn't think much about Libraia's power, though. After all, they did see an attack countless times more powerful, capable of destroying an entire planet before.

Erla then looked at Libraia and immediately spoke, "Thank you for saving my friends and me, senior."

Libraia shook her head in response, saying, "Now that you completed the twelve tests, you are officially a member of the Jhiod Sect. I couldn't just stand by and watch you be killed right in front of me. If I did, the sect would definitely complain later."

At the same time, Libraia sent Erla a Divine Sense message. 'Besides, you will become my Uncle Sam's disciple. I already contacted him, so he knows what you're capable of and that you're coming. Make sure to train hard.'

Erla nodded. Rean had already told her about the deal they made when Tilte visited the Jhiod Sect's building. He also told her that he hadn't mentioned that it was her heart that was the reason, so she had to be careful. 'Don't worry, senior. Being accepted by a Core Elder as a direct disciple was my aim from the very start. Knowing that I got it before even entering the Jhiod Continent only fills me with pride.'

Naturally, Libraia was satisfied with the answer. 'Well said. Now then, I'll take my leave since it's not my job to arrange things. We will see each other again in the sect.'

Right after, Libraia looked at the worker in the building, telling him, "Clean up everything and continue the preparation for the next test."

"Yes, Lady Libraia!" Of course, no one would dare to go against her words.

Libraia nodded before she suddenly disappeared.

As for Rean and Roan... "Seems like we can finally enter Jhiod Continent."
