Chapter 50: 50. Unforseen Moment
"What benefits did you acquire for being a pawn?" Kai asked because he was curious about how much the heavenly dao would pay for his life.
"Senior brother, thank you for being generous, your life is precious. I achieved a heavenly foundation with the help of heavenly dao, and I will also get help to revive my family in the future when I have enough strength. So you should die without making any trouble." Anna replied with a smile, but with killing intent.
When Anna was in despair about not being able to achieve a heavenly foundation, the heavenly dao contacted her to make an offer.
The offer was to kill someone, and the target was Kai. Anna hesitated for a long time but eventually fell for the temptation. The only added condition was that the Heavenly Dao needed to help her when she was about to revive them.
'The heavenly dao paid me so much just for the first trial.' Kai thought in amazement. He didn't know why the heavenly dao was adamant about eliminating him because messing with the timeline requires a huge price.
"Now, senior brother, please die without any resistance."
She walked towards him and took a knife that was coated with poison.
'It seems I have no choice but to use this, I never thought I would depend on luck to survive.' Kai laughed bitterly. He never had faith in luck because something bad happens every time it is related to luck.
When Anna came near him, he took the explosive talisman that Yang Wudi used and used it right away.
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop it right now!" Anna tried to stop his actions. But it was too late.
Kai only injected a small amount of Qi to activate it instead of fully using its power.
He knew he wouldn't survive the explosion if he used it to its full potential.
*BANGG*
Due to the power of talisman, a space gap formed between Kai and Anna. It appeared because the strength of the explosion is very strong and the space of the secret realm isn't capable of withstanding it.
'I hope I survive this gamble.' Kai immediately jumped into the crack without hesitation.
Anna wasn't able to react to the situation since she was badly injured by the explosion.
'Why did this happen? I shouldn't have underestimated him because of his injury.' Anna began regretting her decision. The worst thing she did in her life was let Kai escape.
"Heavenly Dao, is he dead or alive?" Anna chose to ask the almost omniscient being.
"I don't know about the situation. He is not in my range of coverage." A monotonous voice replied to her question. This voice belongs to the heavenly Dao, and it isn't as omniscient as she thought. It may have that capacity inside the Enlightenment World, but it doesn't have that capacity outside the jurisdiction of its world.
Anna fell silent after hearing the answer; it was not the answer she was expecting.
'I need to face the problems in the future; for now, I should take care of my injuries.'
When Kai used the talisman, the main target of impact was Anna. She wasn't able to dodge it in time, and it exploded right near her. It caused a lot of injuries. Half of her body burned, and her clothes got torn.
She is now without any clothes, revealing her pale white skin, but that won't attract anyone for now. Since her internal organs on one side of the body are visible to the naked eye, a lot of blood has completely ruined her appearance.
Only her face remains without any damage. She covered her face before the explosion out of instinct.
'At least I didn't lose my beauty.'
She didn't take the injuries seriously, and she thought about her beauty in this situation.
A lot of white particles formed, and another identical Anna without any injuries appeared. She started at the new body for a few seconds, turned into white particles, and merged with the new body.
'This talent is convenient. Only pain is the major disadvantage.' Anna appeared without any injuries from the explosion; her skin became flawless, and all the internal injuries just disappeared. She is now standing naked without any clothes, thinking about the situation.
Anna's talent is called Avatar; using the talent, she can form up to a maximum of seven avatars.
A single avatar is designated as the main body, and all others can be used as clones. When the main body suffers an unrecoverable injury, it can be replaced with another body. The only way to kill is to destroy all seven bodies at the same time.
This talent almost makes her immortal up to the saint realm, as the opponents wouldn't have a proper method to deal with these clones. But from the supreme realm, it will lose its effectiveness.
'What is happening?' Kai is now traveling inside the space crack. His physical body is now experiencing the pressure of space.
A supernatural realm cultivator isn't capable of surviving inside a space crack. Only divine realm cultivators can survive inside the space crack without any damage, and saint realm cultivators are capable of traveling inside the crack.
Kai formed a Qi barrier around him before jumping inside the crack to avoid the impact of the explosion, which luckily saved his life. Otherwise, the moment he entered the crack, his body would have exploded due to the pressure alone.
While he was traveling inside the crack, a sudden space storm appeared, and the entire crack started to shake.
'Why is this shit always happening to me?' Kai cursed his luck. The appearance of a space storm is a very rare phenomenon; it disrupts the stability of space. So, Kai's Qi barrier was also broken, unable to endure the increase in pressure.
The spacestorm changed Kai's course; he went in a random direction inside the crack. Kai fainted after persisting for a few moments. After traveling inside the crack for a long time, the crack opened in the middle of nowhere.
Kai fell from the crack, but he was not in the right condition; his bones got crushed due to being caught in the space crack, and a lot of additional injuries appeared all over his body. The poison is also slowly eating away at his life force. His life was hanging on a thread right now; whether or not Kai survives this ordeal is a doubt.
The moment Kai fell from the crack to an unknown place, the entire Enlightenment World suddenly felt an unimaginable pressure. A dark and eerie aura surrounded the entire world; the most affected were the citizens of the Dragon Empire.
"Mommy, what happened? Why is it so dark in the morning?" A child hugged her mother and cried.
"Don't worry, baby, nothing will happen to us." The mother comforted her child by patting her on the head.
"Why is something weird happening again? It is the second time a sudden change like this has appeared in recent times." Many people wondered about the changes.
A lot of negative emotions started emitting from the darkness, which directly affected the minds of all people. Countless mortals began committing suicide, not being able to endure the sudden negative emotions, and some cultivators started slaughtering anyone they saw.
The entire Dragon Empire became hell in a few moments because of darkness, and countless people lost their lives in this incident.
The cause of this incident is a young woman with black hair. Her appearance cannot be described by mere words; she is the epitome of perfection.
She is now standing in the air with darkness emanating from her, forming a domain. The domain covered the entire Dragon Empire and was still expanding. A lot of people began to die as the domain expanded.
Suddenly, a man appeared before her and bowed in respect.
"Miss Demon Queen, can you retreat your domain? It is affecting countless innocent people."
The man was none other than Long Zhen, the current emperor of the Dragon Empire and the head of the emperor tier family, but he is still bowing to the woman named Demon Queen in respect.
The Demon Queen just glanced at him without any expression, but Long Zhen felt tremendous pressure.
"Miss Demon Queen, I'm not ordering you; don't get mad at me. If there is any problem, please tell me. I can use the strength of the Long family and solve it for you." Long Zhen said this because of the pressure on him.
"Do you think that you can solve something that I'm unable to do?"
Long Zhen fell silent after hearing the Demon Queen's reply. The Demon Queen is the strongest person in the entire world right now, nobody provokes her because she has an unpredictable personality. She doesn't have any family or sect to hold her back, so she can do whatever she wants without considering the consequences.
Long Zhen has a family and empire, he needs to consider them before he makes a choice. Even though he is also a peak powerhouse in the entire world and can do whatever he desires, having a family at that stage is a shackle. He is not the only peak powerhouse in the world; there are a lot of them.
That is the reason he talked in such a humble manner before the Demon Queen, as she had a weird personality and would easily get offended for small reasons.
