Somewhere in the Swamp of no Return, a rather weaker spider-like Swamp Beast was battling a small figure. The small figure used his advantage in speed and control over space to dodge the spider's attacks.
However, because of the gap in cultivation, the amount of damage that the figure could cause to the spider was very small, so it could only keep increasing the number of injuries on its opponent until it exhausted itself.
Suddenly, the small figure appeared behind the spider after it missed his presence due to a failed attack. Still, the spider monster wasn't slow. The moment the figure appeared there, the spider's back bulged before a shot of pungent dark web came out. It spread out in all directions, leaving almost no chance for an escape.
The web hit the target and melted under the dark web's corrosive. Unfortunately for it, what its web hit was nothing more than a fake body. Spatial Power was released from that body and disappeared within the space around itself.
The next moment, right below the spider's back, that same small figure appeared. For this kind of swamp spider, its weak point was below its abdomen. The spider knew that, so it kept it hidden from its enemy until now. Too bad that it was tricked by the small figure.
'Void Style, Spatial Severance!'
His sword brimmed with dense Spatial Power as his body shot up. The spider's abdomen could not resist the attack against its weak point, especially since the attack was several times stronger that the previous ones so far. Dark Red Blood mixed with the Dark, Pungent Web began to fall from the spider's abdomen as a huge cut appeared there.
The spider quickly tried to turn its body and attack the small figure out of rage. Unfortunately for it, the guy had already used his movement technique to disappear from that location. From there onward, the small figure just pestered the Spider Demon Beast as its wounds, especially the wound in the abdomen, got worse and worse.
A few minutes later, the spider finally couldn't continue anymore and began to fall into the Swamp. It wasn't trying to escape. That's because it was one of the few Swamp Demon Beasts in the Swamp of no Return that lived above the Swamp Water. It knew that the Swamp below was dangerous for it. It's just that it no longer had any strength to keep itself attached to the trees and webs around.
However, just as it was about to fall into the Swamp, the small figure appeared and caught the huge spider's leg. Using his Spatial Powers, he quickly pulled the spider's body up before shouting into the distance. "Father, can you please send this spider into the Dimensional Realm?"
The small figure was none other than Luan, who had cultivated diligently with the twins' group for over 200 years.
A moment later, a black shadow appeared on Luan's side, and he nodded with an approving expression. "Not bad, not bad at all."
*Vup!*
Immediately after, the spider's body disappeared, entering the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Naturally, the black shadow was none other than Roan, who was watching Luan's late improvements.
"You finally reached the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, and it only took you 87 years. That's a very good speed. But above all, I can see that you didn't slack in your combat training."
Luan was happy to hear Roan's praise, which was quite rare. "That's because father never let me go much longer without coming out to battle. You even became my opponent countless times, so I could only evolve."
Roar's expression already came back to normal. "If there is no will behind it, training will not result in much improvement. It is especially so since I have no intention of saving your life while you are battling these Swamp Beasts. Otherwise, the training would be useless."
A moment later, a black and white creature appeared in the sky before it landed on a nearby branch. On its back, there was a white robbed youth who seemed to have an annoyed expression. Sure enough, they were Rean and Kentucky. "Hey, Roan, what the hell was that thing? You suddenly kicked that fish in my direction and left me to deal with the aftermath on my own. Aren't you slacking on training yourself?"
"Hmph!" Roan then pointed at Rean. "Luan, make sure you don't turn out like that thing over there. It complains about everything and is very bothersome."
"Yes, father!" Luan quickly nodded.
If there was someone in the twins' group that didn't need training, that one was definitely Roan. Rean was just angry that Roan left him behind without saying a word. "Whatever! I have no patience to deal with you two."
Roan ignored Rean before the space around him bent at his will. The next moment, he and Luan appeared on Kentucky's back together with Rean. It seemed to have been an extremely easy gesture, but the distance covered in that movement and the speed couldn't be compared to any other Space Bending Realm being.
Rean and Kentucky didn't seem the least bit impressed by what Roan did, though. If anything, they could achieve the same result without much effort. "Let's go back to the settlement to visit Luman. It's about time for us to move."
Way more than 200 years have gone by since they decided to stop and train in this place. The initial plan was for it to last only 200 years, but the environment was so good that they ended up extending that duration. Only a few weeks ago, after the twins reached the Late Stage of the Space Bending Realm, did they decide to continue their journey. They were just using a few more weeks to get used to their strength after the breakthrough.
If compared to the previous realms, it could be said that Rean and Roan took several times longer to go from the initial stage to the late stage. Even in the Void Tempering Realm, they took less than a hundred years to go from the Initial Stage to the Peak Stage and achieve the breakthrough. However, way over 200 years had gone by, but they only got to the Late stage. Even the Peak Stage was still far from reach. That means they only got to advance another two stages during all this time. That was how much slower cultivation became after Divine Origin Energy became necessary.
