Chapter 315 - Akasha Contractors
At this moment, it would be a big fat lie to say that Adrian didn't regret his decision of coming after Ling Chen.
He really wanted to run away, but his body was unwilling. He was terrified to the point where he couldn't even lift a finger. It was as if his whole bodily functions were shut down.
"It's kinda funny. Just earlier, you were quite awe-inspiring, no? And now, you acting as though you are looking at a terrifying monster."
"Now, are you gonna pick which way you want to die, or do you want me to choose it for you." Ling Chen added while smiling leisurely.
Looking at Ling Chen's expression, Adrian knew that his fate was already sealed. However, he didn't want to die. As such, he put on a strong act." What… What do you want to do!? Don't forget… my brother-in-law is the leader of the Red Skull Assassination Guild. If… If you dare to kill me… then the Red Skull Assassination Guild will not let you off! Even if you run to the corners of the universe, they will still come after you!"
"Ohh yeah! That's even better." Answered Ling Chen with a joyful expression on his face.
"What!" Exclaimed Adrian as his face turned white as paper. It clearly wasn't the answer and the reaction he was expecting from Ling Chen after threatening him with the Red Skull Assassination Guild.
Almost everyone in the Verid Empire knew how vengeful and terrifying the Red Skull Assassination Guild was. Yet, instead of looking afraid and terrified, that little bastard looked happy and pleased knowing that Red Skull Assassination Guild would be coming after him if he were to kill him. It was as if it was looking forward to it.
Even though the Red Skull Assassination Guild wasn't as powerful as the Verid Imperial Family or the Archduke Families, they were still a force to be reckoned with. Aside from that, their leader was an early stage War God realm warrior and their members have stretched throughout the whole Verid Empire.
"I thought you'd be more interesting. Ohh well, it's time to send you off." Ling Chen said with a disappointing look on his face as he waved his right hand toward Adrian.
Swoosh!
Following his action, numerous dark energies flew out Ling Chen's palm and struck Adrian before he could even react.
At the same time, a strange scene and unbelievable thing happened. Numerous small black holes appeared all around Adrian's body. He stared at his own body in confusion as his head, arms and legs started to fall apart and separated. However, he didn't feel the sensation of his body splitting apart.
At this moment, Adrian was like a disassembled puppet as his body parts were all separated from his body and hovering in the air.
" W....what....what did you do to me?" Urgently shouted Adrian as his heart sank from fear.
"Not much, I just tore the spaces around your body." Ling Chen answered with a slight smile on his face as he snapped his fingers.
Swoosh!
In the next second, space suddenly became distorted as the small black holes collapsed.
"No!!!" Adrian suddenly felt a wave of gut-wrenching paint flowed throughout his whole body, and only now did he realize the danger he was in.
Earlier, it appeared that his limbs were separated by the small black holes, but he was still able to feel them. However, the moment the black holes collapsed, his body was instantly destroyed.
......
Verid Star, The Imperial Palace.
Within the Imperial Palace of the Verid Empire, there was an underground and forbidden room that no one knew about. Even some of the core members of the Imperial families didn't know about it.
And this underground and forbidden room was none other than the dwelling of the first emperor and the founder of the mighty Verid Empire itself.
At this moment, the Mad Emperor sat together with the founder. They both had a serious expressions on their faces as they were chatting about the wonders of the Akasha Spiritual World.
"The more time I spent in the Akasha Spiritual World, the more I realized just powerful and Heaven-defying these people are to be able to create such a powerful Spiritual World ." Said the first emperor with a horrifying look on his face.
Even an apex existence like himself who lived for many years and had seen countless miracles was frightened upon entering the Akasha Spiritual World for the first time.
Furthermore, upon hearing and witnessing the functions of the Akasha Spiritual World as well as the power of those Primordial Shura Gods, he went from feeling shocked to being aghast.
At first, he couldn't accept what his eyes were telling him. However, as time passed, he was able to soak in this reality and accepted that everything was indeed real.
Even though it's only been two months or so since he had gained access to the Akasha Spiritual World, he had already reaped a lot of benefits.
Also, because time flowed differently in the Akasha Spiritual World, two months in the outside world was equivalent to almost two decades in the Akasha Spiritual World.
Every time he entered the Akasha Spiritual World, he felt as though his consciousness was being soaked into a hot spring.
Not only the Akasha Spiritual World was able to nurse back his decayed soul to health and rejuvenate it, but it was also able to cleanse his soul and strengthen it.
However, because only a small part of his consciousness was able to enter the Akasha Spiritual World, it wasn't able to completely heal and cleanse his entire soul. It was like dipping one toe into a cool spring on a hot day, but not the whole body.
Nonetheless, he didn't get discouraged because he knew that as his level and privilege increased in the Akasha Spiritual World, the more of his soul and consciousness he'd be able to use to enter Akasha Spiritual World.
"Indeed. I also think that the balance of power in the Omega Galaxy will change as well. In the future, the power of nation will be equivalent to its number of Akasha Contractors." The Mad Emperor answered with a solemn expression on his face.
They already knew about the other Akasha Contractors in the Omega Galaxy as well as the fact that Mr.Chen wasn't the only Gatekeepers in the Omega Galaxy.
Each one of the Akasha Contractors was a genius and had infinite potential otherwise they wouldn't have been chosen by the Gatekeepers. Each one of them was a potential 2nd Life Transition Paragon realm expert and even above with the help of the Akasha Spiritual World.
Furthermore, even though some of them might be weak at the moment, they were still a force to be reckoned with and that female slave was a clear example of that. She hadn't even undergone her 1st Life Transition, yet she was able to summon a powerful Demonic Shura through contribution points to slaughter thousand of powerful experts and escaped from the Asterism Planet.
"Anyway, even though we don't know the ultimate goal of these powerful Primordial Shura Gods and why they gave people like access us to such a marvelous world, we could only play along otherwise we will fall behind. Furthermore, it also very advantageous to us." Explained the first emperor.
"But do you think these people will stay silent about the Akasha Spiritual World? From what I could tell, the Akasha Spiritual World has the power to overthrow their rule in the Omega Galaxy."
"They have been controlling the Omega Galaxy for millions of years behind the scene, I don't think they'll be happy about the Akasha Spiritual World. They will do whatever it takes to thwart them." Said the Mad Emperor with a worrying look on his face.
These people were so frightened that even the Mad Emperor didn't dare to mention their names or the name of their organization.
It was common knowledge that the Ten Behemoths were the ruler of the Omega Galaxy, however, it wasn't the case. There's a powerful existence or organization that's been controlling the Omega Galaxy for eons behind the scene.
This power was so great and mysterious that even the power of the Ten Behemoths combined wasn't enough to shake them. They were the true Overlord of the Omega Galaxy and the Ten Behemoths paid tribute to them every ten thousand years.
"Well, it isn't something people like us could meddle in, let's wait and see what they gonna do about it. Also, we need to keep our identity as Akasha Contractors a secret for now." Answered the first emperor with a nervous look on his face.
