Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 694 - It's Gone

As soon as that conversation ended, Rean's Spiritual Sense reached Celis once again, saying, "Those guys are quite terrifying."

"Obviously. They're all on the same level as me. For someone like you and your Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, they might as well be considered gods," Celis said, feeling quite satisfied. "By the way, it was you who blew up their headquarters, right?"

Rean nodded, responding, "Yep. It was very hard, you know?"

Celis didn't doubt that. "I can imagine. In any case, very good job. It was really satisfying." After saying that, Celis changed the topic. "Well, how was it? You really caused a scene a moment ago with all that absorbed Spiritual Energy. Did you get what you wanted?"

"Yes," Rean answered. "Senior Celis, my brother and I will move your body into a Dimensional Realm. You will feel some kind of pulling power enveloping your body. Don't fight it since that's what will set you free from this place."

"Very well, go ahead." Celis couldn't care less about how Rean would do that. Even if he wanted to cut his roots and branches out, he wouldn't complain. He's a Demon Tree at the Stage Nine level. He could recover those parts later as long as he has enough energy.

"Good! For that, we'll have to come outside and focus on your body. Can you protect us while we do that?" Rean asked.

As soon as he said that, many white vines began to congregate around Celis's trunk, leaving just a gap between them and the trunk itself. No one from outside would be able to reach Rean and Roan as long as the vines were there. "Just come inside this place I made. You'll be able to touch my trunk, and no one will stop you. Even if those Ancestors of the Soul Rulers come back, they would need some time to be able to break my defenses."

Rean and Roan then looked at Kentucky, who nodded at them, saying, "Don't worry. I can tell Celis is not planning anything against you."

With that said, Rean and Roan immediately went out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They appeared with Rean's Light and Spiritual Sense Bending Skills active and moved inside the free space made by Celis. There, they touched his trunk and tried to feel his body through Rean's Light Force perception.

"You truly are big," Rean said as his own Life Force traveled through Celis's body. "I'm already several kilometers away, but I'm nowhere near to reaching the end of your body."

Roan nodded in agreement. He wasn't as good with Life Force as Rean was, so he was having an even harder time.

Celis understood their issue and immediately said, "Oh! So that's the problem? Just one sec." As soon as he finished saying those words, he used his own Spiritual Energy to sever all his roots that were being used to reach the other powers of the world. Just like that, his roots that have been there for so many years were gone.

Rean couldn't help but ask, "Is that really okay? Those roots are also part of your body, no?" Naturally, he was concerned that Celis might die because of that.

"Hahaha!" However, Celis laughed in response. "You're mistaking me for a demon beast. That's not good. Don't forget, I'm a Demon Tree. As long as the roots haven't been completely destroyed, I can grow them again with enough Spiritual Energy. This is a small price to pay if it means I can leave this shitty place."

Rean smiled and then focused on Celis's body once again. This time, it was much easier for him and Roan to reach the end of Celis's body. "Senior Celis, we're going to pull you away now."

*Tremble...*

The earth quaked as the Spiritual Energy of the surroundings went into chaos. The Zasfins guarding the place were taken aback and immediately looked at the World Swallowing Cedar. It was obvious that whatever was happening was connected to it.

The leader there immediately turned to one of his subordinates before saying, "Quick, call the Ancestors back. Something's definitely not right."

However, before the guy could even take out the Thoughts Transmission Talisman, something unbelievable happened right in front of everyone. The World Swallowing Cedar...disappeared!

"What?!"

"Impossible!"

"Am I dreaming?"

No one could believe what they saw. As for Rean and Roan, they entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as soon as they sent Celis in.

Rean and Roan teleported Celis to an enormous patch of green that didn't have anything. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

*Bang!*

The moment the Cedar fell on the ground, the entire Dimensional Realm trembled as well. As for the kids, their eyes widened when that enormous tree appeared in front of them.

*Wow!*

"It's so big!"

"What is that?"

"I remember seeing it before. It's called a tree."

"So, this is a tree?"

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky then stopped in front of Celis. Rean then smiled before saying, "Senior Celis, moving you in was really hard. Hahaha!"

Celis was as shocked as the kids in the distance, asking, "What is this place? Did you teleport me to another planet?"

Roan shook his head, responding, "No. This is just a Dimensional Realm no more than 20 kilometers in radius. Nevertheless, it should be more than enough to sustain you."

Celis was even more shocked to hear. "A Dimensional Realm...I've never seen one before. I only heard about spatial items, but none should be this heaven-defying."

Kentucky then flew up and landed on Celis's top, saying, "Hahaha! Don't worry, Celis. I'll explain everything later." However, Kentucky couldn't help but ask something else, "By the way, why is your cultivation falling?"

Celis was taken aback and immediately checked his Demon Core. Sure enough, he noticed his cultivation going down really fast. "What?!"

Not long after, a black and white orb floated in front of Celis and said, [Ahem...you said you didn't mind the price to pay to leave that cave, right? Well...it just so happened that we needed your energy. I'm sorry, but I'm going to take some of it.] As expected, the World Swallowing Tree's Demon Core was what the system needed.
