Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 799 - 336: Why Am I Still Here? (2)

The trio prepared to launch another assault, yet in an instant, Brahma Heaven's silhouette vanished right before their eyes.

As the three extended their spiritual sense to probe around, they spotted Brahma Heaven materializing from the void at a different spot.

'This fellow truly possesses an abundance of treasures.'

'Pursue him!'

Following the previous clash, Brahma Heaven displayed no trace of his earlier haughtiness; his complexion had turned ashen like parchment, his thoughts thrown into chaos.

'No way, if things proceed like this, I'll definitely perish by their hands. What options do I have... what must I do?'

Abruptly, Brahma Heaven cast a look toward his own forces.

Even though the foe's three armies pressed forward fiercely, his soldiers hadn't been entirely eradicated.

A handful of cultivators remained, arrayed in a grand formation with their backs guarded mutually, barely managing against the onslaught from the Vast Realm's troops.

Brahma Heaven's eyes settled on the cluster boasting the most individuals, where numerous prodigies who had risen in the Vast Realm across the years caught his attention.

They bolstered one another and had even eliminated a few Vast Realm cultivators, recognized as the mightiest faction within the Central Domain's Celestial Fire Realm.

'My father once mentioned that when these lower-tier geniuses face peril, it's no poor strategy to trade their lives for our survival!'

This idea raced through Brahma Heaven's thoughts as he perceived Fei Bing and the pair closing in with deadly resolve, solidifying his scheme.

The phantom of the fire god enveloping him had fully faded, exposing his actual appearance.

Clutching a supremely precious void transfer talisman, Brahma Heaven promptly chose the location of those prodigies loyal to him and shifted in their direction.

He had little alternative; the void transfer talisman he gripped permitted only brief, limited-range movements. Evidently, such a short hop wouldn't enable Brahma Heaven to elude the three Vast Realm leaders fixated on him.

To properly unleash the talisman's long-range relocation capability, he needed to channel sufficient magical power into it.

Thus, that band of loyal geniuses represented the ideal means to stall the adversaries!

'Brahma Heaven, you won't slip away from our grasp while we're watching!' Fei Bing's icy tone rang out.

Brahma Heaven clenched his jaw, expending the magical power he'd recently poured in, and triggered the void transfer talisman once more, vanishing from view.

The assembly of Celestial Fire Realm geniuses that Brahma Heaven aimed for consisted of the True Martial Realm transmigrators dispatched by Ning Qi to the Celestial Fire Realm.

Confronting the Vast Realm's three invading armies, they felt utterly powerless, dreading the loss of their reincarnated existences on that field.

Regret was absent; their sole sorrow lay in failing to contribute more to Realm Lord Ning Qi.

Even as they battled relentlessly against the Vast Realm forces, a ripple in the nearby void abruptly caught their notice.

From it, Brahma Heaven appeared!

The group glanced at him but offered no words.

Engrossed in combating the Vast Realm cultivators, they spared no thought for this overbearing offspring of privilege.

To their surprise, Brahma Heaven declared, 'You've enjoyed countless favors from my Brahma family; now comes the moment to return them. Assist me in blocking them!'

'Hmm?'

The assembly couldn't help but feel puzzled, unclear on this man's motives.

Nevertheless, those with sharp instincts detected the Vast Realm's three commanders hurtling toward them and grasped Brahma Heaven's scheme at once.

'Brothers, this spells trouble—Brahma Heaven has drawn the three commanders straight to us.'

'What's his aim in pulling this off?'

'Look, he's gripping a talisman; he just shifted here, so he's clearly plotting to sacrifice our lives for his escape!'

'Curse him, we've shouldered the heaviest burden against the Vast Realm cultivators, barely slaying foes in this spot, and now he drags even more danger our way, all while he's geared up?'

They weren't native to the Celestial Fire Realm but had arrived via reincarnation, fostering some attachment to it.

Yet Brahma Heaven proved utterly heartless, his Brahma family exploiting every gain, frequently compelling them to risk all for cultivation resources—only for half to vanish into the family's coffers, all under the guise of their graciousness.

While persisting in their strikes against the Vast Realm cultivators, the group initiated a private chat to debate their next steps and unleash frustrations.

'We're goners regardless, so why not take down this privileged brat first!'

'Hold off,' another countered, 'this privileged brat will face the Realm Lord's retribution for us in time; slaying one extra Vast Realm cultivator yields another coordinate, and in our final moments, we can relay more to the Realm Lord.'

'Fine, let's ignore him and focus!'

'Blast it, without the Realm Lord, I'd flay this scum myself!'

The spiritual qi surging inside them burst forth completely, every rule's power unleashed in a frenzy, driving them to fight with heightened ferocity.

Brahma Heaven lingered amidst them, his gaze darting about.

His spiritual sense picked up Fei Bing and the duo; they hovered several miles distant still.

'Nearly ready—these fools ought to detain them long enough for my departure!'

Fei Bing and the pair observed Brahma Heaven concealing himself among the Mountain and Sea Realm survivors, their brows furrowing deeply.

'Isn't this scoundrel excessively despicable?'

The three gave chase, exchanging thoughts via transmission.

Hua Jieyu remarked:

'He's laden with magical treasures and spiritual artifacts, so even with the three of us aiming to capture him, it'd demand substantial effort. Yet instead of leveraging them, he flees straight to his allies clashing with my forces, employing them as human shields, cowering in their midst, and sacrificing their lives to slow us. This... is the Mountain and Sea Realm truly so ruthless?'

'Ignore such matters; they're Mountain and Sea Realm foes, and even if Brahma Heaven uses them as shields, it was the Mountain and Sea Realm that initiated aggression against our Vast Realm. We can't let feelings cloud our judgment!'

Though separated by distance, the three unleashed attacks anew.

Dreadful energies promptly hammered into the True Martial Realm group.

In that instant, Fei Bing and the others' eyes bulged wide, as if beholding the impossible.

The group, encircled and locked in combat with their army, started vanishing progressively from the edges right before them.

'Perhaps we misjudged, and Brahma Heaven went there to rescue them?'

This notion surfaced in the trio's minds.

But the following moment, it crumbled without effort.

The figures in front dissolved away without a sound, isolating Brahma Heaven in the midst.

Brahma Heaven clutched the void transfer talisman, his expression twisted in sheer horror.

He bellowed in fury, 'Blast it all, what's going on? It was meant to relocate me, not these inferior sorts—damn it!!!'

Seeing the group vanish, he first assumed a blunder in activating the void transfer talisman.

But after his outburst, realizing the talisman's energy remained intact and continued building, Brahma Heaven composed himself, perplexed.

Still, with the ability to transport himself persisting, it sufficed.

As incoming assaults bore down, Brahma Heaven mused, 'Almost there!'

Just as the strikes neared contact, Brahma Heaven amassed the power for extended relocation, his form beginning to blur faintly.

Brahma Heaven swapped terror for triumphant cackles, proclaiming, 'Fei Bing, etch this in your memory—my father Fan City ranks among the top fifty powerhouses in the Mountain and Sea Realm. When I summon him, I'll slaughter you every one!'

Fei Bing and the duo had drawn close.

Their blows phased through Brahma Heaven's frame, inflicting no damage; he seemed caught in an anomalous phase.

His threat darkened the three's faces like ink spilling.

Regarding Brahma Heaven's claim, the trio accepted its truth.

Brahma Heaven brimmed with magical treasures and spiritual artifacts, far from commonplace. Should he seek refuge, success was assured.

'Curse this—we've permitted that wretch to flee!'

Neither they nor Brahma Heaven spared attention to the vanished True Martial Realm individuals.

…

Within a proximate void.

Ning Qi regarded the True Martial Realm cultivators encircling him; freshly transferred, they appeared dazed, poses frozen in mid-strike.

'Realm Lord?' one gasped.

'What? The Realm Lord's present?'

'Realm Lord, your timely arrival rescued us!'

The assembly brimmed with boundless elation.

Ning Qi, though, raised a hand to quiet them, stating, 'Save the thanks—we mustn't allow that one to get away!'

He indicated Brahma Heaven's distant form.

Brahma Heaven's outline had grown nearly translucent, poised to fully depart the next breath.

His lips curved in ongoing derision toward Fei Bing and company.

Abruptly, Fei Bing and the others fixed stares on Brahma Heaven.

Brahma Heaven's translucent shape abruptly inverted, solidifying with haste.

The onlookers witnessed this oddity without comprehension, yet Brahma Heaven's getaway was thwarted.

Brahma Heaven persisted in laughter, only for it to falter mid-chuckle.

'Why haven't I departed?' he uttered in dread.
