Heavenly Dao Child 361 Nine Netherworld Ba?mu Part-2

Eden a place of hope and dread, where countless cultivators were seduced by the promise of treasure, fame glory amongst the imposing structure of Eden, was a couple of stele one of them the names of Pangu, Antariskh, Saidhal along with the rest of their friends were immortalized beside their name 14th level, that has been many eons ago before the great calamity yet no one has ever broken their record, no one has conquered the 15th level as such their names were still shown up, another such stele happened to show the numbers of cultivators alive the only thing that told them the condition of the cultivators, it showed how many were left, the number was a little over 30,000 to have so many Mystic Immortals in a place was astounding a force that made many wary but then something happened, with the sound akin to hammer being struck on stone the numbers changed as chaos erupted.

Antariskh sat on her chair as she nursed a headache no matter how powerful she became she could not get rid of the paperwork in front of her and that irritated her the most, as she was about to take a sip of wine from her saucer one of her servants knocked the room as she permitted the person to enter she kneeled in front of her as Antariskh commanded her, "Speak."

"Your Majesty please forgive me for my insolence, but something terrible has happened at Eden, a calamity has taken place."

Antariskh took a deep breath as she spoke, "What has happened?"

The room was starting to get saturated from her terrifying KI as the servant cowered from her might while speaking in a frightened tone, "Your Majesty an incident took place in the Second level most of th….", as she heard the report her KI went wild as the table was flung as she disappeared, the servant herself found flung on the wall with enough force to crack it, as the paper fell like confetti all around her.

Veena was enjoying some alone time with her husband when they both felt the terrifying power of their eldest daughter running wild as such they quickly made themselves descend just in time for the door to their door to be pulverize.

Maheswara could not help but jibe at that, "My baby daughter it has been eons since something spooked you so much that you ran to our bedroom, do I have to check under your bed for some monsters."

Antariskh did not look towards her father her focus was on her mother, by then the other members of the household were running towards their room as she spoke, "Mother please show me Ryuu's 'Thousand Life Petal Flower'."

Veena was taken aback as she spoke, "Daughter what has happened…"

She could not ask complete her question as Antariskh gritted her teeth in frustration as she spoke, "Mother PLEASE show it to me, Please.", her voice breaking in the end, startling them.

Veena quickly picked up her space ring that she had taken off of her finger as she picked it up she gasped as she felt something different about it, couple of leaves had fallen from the plant as she watched with it horror.

To what seemed like an eternity the no change appeared on the plant as Celestia spoke with a gulp, "So is Ryuu safe."

Veena shook her head as she spoke, "If Ryuu was in mortal danger the plant would continued to decay until Ryuu is dead, yet a few leaves had fallen means he was in mortal danger again when he would have been out of the danger the leaves would grow but unfortunately it did not that means that he is still not out of danger.", her focus then fell on Antariskh as she spoke, "Daughter you know something, please tell us what has happened."

Ryuu dashed through the crowd of cultivators as he flung them out of his path as he trampled through them his teammates followed the suite with Amnon bringing the rear, Ryuu gritted his teeth as he saw the size of the portal, "That damn thing is not big enough, we will get stuck and massacred.

He moved his hand as a few dozen talisman appeared, he grasped them before he flung them around the talisman surrounded them forming a sphere, he did not look back as he shouted, " Do not look back do not falter just keep moving, if you stop you would be dead."

By then many others had applied similar tactics using defensive arrays to protect themselves, Ryuu gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Use any form of movement skill to move faster I am going to punch a hole through the group we are going to force ourselves through the portal at any cost."

Daniella looked at the people who were dying as she spoke, "Surely your array will hold."

Her words earned a scathing glare from Ryuu, who simply spoke, "Keep up.", with that he began to increase his speed.

"Prancing Dragon", he murmured lowly but enough for others to hear, Zywia followed his example as she activated her own skill, "Gentle Stream."

Everyone followed their suite but it was proving extremely difficult for Frozen Ocean, Daniella and Amnon to keep up with them, even Su-Min grimaced t the skills they used, 'Damn bastards Ryuu and Zywia both are from older and powerful families and they really spoil their children rotten.'

Froze Ocean bit her lips her whole body was screaming in agony as she pushed her movement skill to the absolute limit, she had means to escape some form of crucial yet self harming arts used for emergency but she did not wish to test her mettle against such a horrifying poison.

Ryuu's protection sphere mashed against the others and as soon as they were struck by it a very powerful force swatted them away rather violently from Ryuu and his entourage, he gritted his teeth at that, 'My action would cause my karma to be affected badly, but I am sorry my life is the most precious to me than anyone or anything else in this place.'

He idly noticed True-spear, a good few distance in front of him, leading charge with Frost Flames following after him with another group various protection arrays covered each of them but what made him winced was the way True-spear lead the charge, just like a cavalry tearing his way to the portal.

A huge purplish gas appeared in front of them Ryuu flinched but he did not stop nor did he could stray from his path, the sphere went through the crowd as screams of anger, fear and pleading for mercy rang throughout as countless died.

Zywia's heart shook with fear, as they moved through the gas as they cleared past it she let out her breath she did not even noticed she held out of fear, she suddenly felt relieved that she did not turn into ash, when all of sudden the heard a crack.

Almost anyone in their group whose name was not Ryuu looked up to see a crack on top if the sphere, which was starting to slowly widen and a small purplish gas holding onto it, for the first time they knew why Ryuu panicked, when they were saved from the abomination detonating in the battle of the 2nd level by Ryuu's array they had believed in his ability to protect them which had been doubled many times over after they had seen him create the sphere, even someone who was not well versed in array could tell that this sphere was heaven and earth apart than the one Ryuu used previously, yet now they fully understood why Ryuu was scared, after all the poison seemed to be eating away the array itself slowly breaking it.

Then the sphere protecting them groaned as it shook gradually threatening break apart any minute, their hearts hammered as they could here Ryuu muttering with fear evident in his voice, "Please hold! Please Hold!", over and over again, 300meters,200 meters as they neared the portal the shaking of the sphere began so violent that it was becoming difficult for it to maintain its shape.

As they neared Ryuu was gritted at the sight of multiple cultivators stuck at the portal completely, because of their protective arrays, blocking their way and they were so close, Ryuu closed his eyes for a moment as he spoke solemnly, "I am sorry."

His statement seemed like a cold steel guillotine that cleaved through their soul as Su-Min let out a strangled sob at the thought of their imminent death and she had so much to accomplish.
