Millennium Tension

Chapter 206: Die of Backlash

Mo Dong and Yin Su could only be dumbfounded when all of the young disciples landed safely at the bottom of the hole. Aizen dealt with their fall from a height of about a kilometre casually. The six girls were so confident in this man even though they didn't have much detail.

They could only wonder what had happened in the past month between Aizen's group and these six young girls...

"Okay, we're all down. It's time for us to go." Aizen snapped his fingers. He manipulated gravity to make all of the people and pets present to fly.

The moment after that, they immediately sped through the underground wormhole under the exploration lamp's illumination. There was no danger in that quick journey, nor was there any mystery that needed to be solved other than the Desolate Beast that was lifeless deep underground.

It took them 10 minutes to travel more than 140 kilometres to reach a depth of 70 kilometres underground. A speed that is said to be relatively slow when compared to the rate commonly used.

However, it was very different for the six cultivator girls and the two elders behind. They considered this speed extremely fast. Again, they were there to fly directly, without an intermediary like a mini spaceship...

A short and thrilling journey, they didn't fly of their own accord but because of Aizen's strength. Every turn and path of swooping made their heart palpitations somewhat chaotic. Ana just called it a roller coaster Something that eight cultivators didn't know, even the two elders couldn't help.

They arrived at a deep cave underground at the very bottom of all these earthen and rock passages, the deepest place in Desolate Prairie, and the actual lair of the Desolate Beast.

Axel took out several balls of light and made them float on various sides of the cave. The broad, pitch-black cave with no lighting suddenly became bright like a cave on the surface with sunlight as lighting.

At that time, their main focus was none other than the large brown corpse in the corner of the cave. The Desolate Beast's real body was still intact like that even though it had died some twenty years ago.

"It is the Desolate Beast that inhabits this area. Enormous when viewed up close, isn't it?" Aizen spoke as the whole side of the cave was no longer pitch black.

"Ye, yeah... Maybe, this Desolate Beast... If it attacks the ground rampantly... lots of casualties will fall..." Feng Zhi was the first to answer.

Meanwhile, others became gaped at this realization. This was very different from what was shown on a three-dimensional hologram, hundreds to thousands of times larger.

"Yes, fortunately, it was only nesting and living here. Maybe this is good karma for the world because this beast had died."

"Uhh... I wonder what would happen if a Spirit Beast this big and terrifying attacked our floating island..."

"Hush, you little girl talk carelessly. Now I'm getting goosebumps too..."

"Elder Mo, Elder Su... Was the Spirit Beast you met during the last expedition on this Desolate prairie this big? This Desolate Beast was so monstrous."

Apart from Lin Yu, who was still stunned, all the cultivator girls started tweeting their comments. They were less afraid and just cringe at the thought of what might and should happen.

"Yeah... I didn't think it was this big at that time... After all, at that time, the Desolate Beast didn't fully surface itself. It was only part of it, and it had closed almost all of our escape routes..." Mo Dong replied. With the expression solemn. He gulped his saliva as he realized what kind of monster had caused the tragedy and nightmare to him.

"It has a body width of about six meters. The approximate body length of about two kilometers. A head the size of a house and with fangs like sharp blades. Yes, the world would be quite chaotic if this Spirit Beast were still alive and ravaging the surface." Axel stated the results of her analysis calculations.

"Um, from a long time ago, no one knew the level of strength of this Desolate Beast... If a Spirit Beast of this class was still alive... How much strength did it have?" Lin Yu came out of her reverie. She immediately asked that to satisfy her curiosity.

Aizen only smiled lightly, not wanting to just answer that. Then, he walked over to the Desolate Beast rank. He was followed by everyone present without needing to be invited or ordered.

Arriving at such a close distance from the mutated creatures of worms and snakes, Aizen examined several things firsthand. He was also assisted by nine of his girls and ten Rank 5 Mecha to finish everything much faster.

"Lin Yu..."

Aizen suddenly spoke up after a few minutes, all of them fell into silence over some things. Meanwhile, the others were just watching and waiting for Aizen's group and his golems to finish their business with the carcass of the Desolate Beast.

The silence suddenly broke, and the tension suddenly reconciled, Lin Yu immediately replied. "Yes, Master Aizen?"

"To your question earlier... We have a rough idea of it. But before that, according to all of you... What had caused this Desolate Beast to die in its own lair?" Aizen and his girls immediately gathered near the waiting cultivators.

"Something like a backlash of cultivation failed to ascend?" Yin Su answered logically, even though she didn't really know.

"Even for Sky Spirit Realm masters, none of them could answer for sure the right strength level of the Desolate Beast at that time. However, it was estimated that this beast was at the peak of the Sovereign Spirit Realm. This monster failed to breakthrough to Nirvana Spirit Realm and died..." Mo Dong stated with the origin and what he knew.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised when she found out the approximate strength level of this vast Spirit Beast. It was not easy to obtain information. However, that still seemed wrong as Aizen gave no response whatsoever.

Aizen still faintly smiled when he heard that. They didn't have that risk, including to ascend to Rank 10 and beyond. Unfortunately, that cultivators at Zavier couldn't enjoy.

Cultivators had to struggle with so much effort when they passed Rank 5, after the breakthrough from Nascent Spirit Realm to Earth Spirit Realm. They also had quite a dangerous risk for each level up if they didn't have enough preparation from their body, soul, and spirit.

In this world of cultivation, there were already countless cases of something called backlash or repercussions due to immature cultivation. And again, the failure to ascend to the next level failed to breakthrough...

The risk of a breakthrough from the Sovereign Spirit Realm to Nirvana Spirit Realm was the first level where there was a risk of death. As for the breakthrough to the Ascension Spirit Realm, the second level had the risk of dying or becoming ashes because their strength wasn't enough to fight against the world tribulation.

It was different again, like a breakthrough to the Divine level onwards, which had the risk of becoming particles and disappearing without a trace in the so-called death...

"That sounds quite reasonable, Mo Dong. However, what we found from this corpse was This Desolate Beast died from failing to ascend to the divine level. This beast had once existed at the peak Ascension Spirit Realm. The inhabitants of this world are fortunate that a beast of this class is not rampant blindly and only looks for prey around here." Aizen patted the large worm snake's body with a light motion.

However, just because of those simple words, the cultivators who heard it became slightly sweaty. They couldn't imagine if such a powerful beast ran rampant without anyone being able to stop it.

This Desolate Beast is stronger than the strongest living cultivator and native of this world, namely the Old Ancestor Zhang Zhenya! Perhaps the most potent team back then wouldn't be able to kill the Spirit Beasts at the top of that mortal world power.

A team of more than twenty Sect Masters and Organization Leaders, together with their Great Elders at the Sovereign Spirit Realm level, would probably only become another victim before a monster of this class...

All of them were leaders of great sects and then leaders of great organizations... The twelve most significant power holders in this world would be nothing in front of this Desolate Beast if this beast lived up to its name.

While the others expressed their gratitude in their hearts, Lin Yu had other concerns. She was observant enough to notice the expressions and words Aizen spoke to them. "Master Aizen, is there an unfortunate planet?"

"Yes, there are. There are quite a lot of them. If we say spirit energy and cultivation are mutations, then Spirit Beasts are the evolution of animals and plants. So yes, there are planets whose natives are nearly extinct or have even been destroyed just because of Spirit Beasts." Aizen nodded at Lin Yu's question.
