Chapter 409 -409-Deeper into the Beta Sector
Avril looked at Caelan with a smug expression, then spoke from a position of superiority.
"I suggest you think this through carefully. The Celestial Realm core you’re looking for is actually located deep within the heart of the Beta Sector. In other words, it’s also the lair of those bizarre creatures. If you don’t want to die there, I advise you to reconsider. Don’t end up turning yourself into their feces for nothing, don’t you think?"
"Also, let me make one thing clear. If I find that you can’t handle those bizarre creatures, I’ll absolutely be the first one to run. I have no intention of accompanying you to your death."
Avril’s words were utterly blunt. After all, she was doing this for the sake of her own life. Besides, she did not particularly like Caelan to begin with.
Caelan, however, merely spread his hands with an unconcerned look.
"Relax. I’m not as weak as you think. Besides, I won’t die, and I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you either."
For the current Caelan, although the bizarre creatures of the Beta Sector could indeed be considered troublesome, compared to the countless dangers and hardships he had experienced before, this level of trouble was really nothing.
When Avril heard Caelan say this, she raised a thumb with a hint of mockery.
"Fine. Fine, very fine. Since you’re so confident in yourself, I wish you success. But if I run away, please don’t take offense."
Caelan said nothing. Instead, he swiftly advanced toward the Beta Sector.
He did not care how powerful those bizarre creatures were.
No matter how strong they were, could they possibly be stronger than his Divine Mirror Dragonlord?
Before long, the two of them arrived at the Beta Sector once again.
Because they were still within the passageway, they would not be attacked by those bizarre creatures. But once they stepped out of the passage, everything would become uncertain.
Through the passageway, Caelan could still see that the entire Beta Sector was brimming with life.
Animals, plants, fungi—all kinds of common and uncommon lifeforms had undergone terrifying mutations within this region.
Just then, those creatures seemed to sense something.
One after another, they turned their heads and looked toward the passageway.
When those bizarre creatures saw Caelan and Avril, their eyes immediately flashed with savage and greedy light.
"Damn it! We’ve only just arrived, and they’ve already locked onto us! We need to move as quickly as possible, or we won’t even be able to get out of this gate."
Avril looked at Caelan nervously as she spoke.
She hoped he would act quickly, at the very least to keep her from remaining in a dangerous area.
As for Avril herself, she had no intention of making a move.
She knew very well that the more she exhausted herself, the lower her chances of survival would become.
Faced with Avril’s anxious reminder, Caelan calmly raised his hand and gave a light snap of his fingers.
The next instant, suns of various sizes exploded into existence at the exit of the passageway.
This was the latest combination skill he had developed: [Infinite Lightblade] + [Thousandblade Rend] + [Molten Inferno].
Under the combined release of these three skills, the blinding little suns not only produced violent explosive damage, but all the matter scattered by the explosions also transformed into molten, lava-like liquid that radiated scorching heat.
In the blink of an eye, the bizarre creatures nearby were easily wiped out.
Whether they were animals, plants, or something else entirely, all of them were burned into drifting ash.
The originally vibrant Beta Sector instantly developed a deathly silent zone.
When Avril saw this, her jaw dropped in shock once again.
She had already lost count of how many times she had been shocked today, but she still could not help asking, "Hey, just how many hidden methods do you still have left?"
Avril was completely stunned.
She had originally thought she had already witnessed the full extent of Caelan’s strength. But every time she thought that, Caelan would unleash an even stronger skill and shock her all over again.
What did this mean?
It meant that in the battle earlier, Caelan had not even displayed half of his true strength.
Faced with Avril’s astonishment, Caelan merely waved his hand calmly and said in a relaxed tone, "They’re just a bunch of strange things. They’re not difficult for me to deal with. Just keep leading the way."
Avril fell silent for a moment.
She said nothing more. Instead, she turned around and quietly continued leading the way.
Suddenly, a thought emerged in her mind.
Perhaps Caelan really might be able to slaughter his way through the entire Beta Sector and obtain the Celestial Realm core.
The journey that followed could be described as extremely smooth.
Any bizarre creature that came forward to block their path was instantly reduced to ash before those fiercely burning little suns. They could not hinder them in the slightest.
However, as they continued advancing, vast stretches of Dead Zone also began to appear throughout the Beta Sector.
At that moment, the Beta Sector was practically becoming another Alpha Sector.
After witnessing Caelan’s true strength, Avril was no longer as timid as before. She directly activated her flight mode and swiftly flew toward the location of the Celestial Realm core.
Yet just as Avril took flight, countless bizarre creatures surged toward her position like a tide.
Avril’s heart tightened, and she instinctively looked toward Caelan beside her.
Caelan, however, still wore the same calm expression.
He was now so casual that he could not even be bothered to snap his fingers anymore.
In any case, all the bizarre creatures ahead of them would be burned into ash in an instant.
After advancing for some time, Caelan suddenly realized something.
These bizarre creatures were indeed just as the video had described.
No matter how many of them were killed, they would swiftly revive and become even stronger than before.
At that moment, Avril, who was leading the way, suddenly narrowed her eyes and stopped in place.
At the same time, she looked toward a massive tree ahead of them, one that was over a hundred meters tall. A rare solemn expression appeared on her face.
"That great tree is one of their leaders. If we can’t—"
Before Avril could finish speaking, Caelan narrowed his eyes and said with a look of disdain, "What’s there to worry about with this thing? Just keep leading the way."
The next instant, the great tree leader before them was instantly carbonized and burned into a pile of ash.
Caelan calmly clapped his hands together.
Only then did he turn around and look at the stunned Avril before asking seriously, "What were you trying to say just now? When you said, ’If we can’t,’ what exactly were you referring to?"
When Avril heard this question, the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
Several times, she wanted to speak, but in the end, she held herself back.
After a brief silence, Avril said with a strange expression, "Nothing. Actually, we can just keep moving."
