Chapter 2299: I'll Make Sure He Talks

*Arrrggh!*

Suddenly, a scream filled the space, echoing due to the power of Divine Energy instead of air. Qestuve, Krutos, and Vladrie's Divine Senses immediately focused on the origin, expecting it was the Elemental Space Realm Experts they brought with them. 'It was about time they finished those two. If they join the battle, we can definitely take the upper hand!'

Yet, when they finally saw the result, they almost lost their concentration in their own battles. Several of those experts were impaled by Celis' vines, having both their Divine Origin Energy and Life drained away from them. Celis then used that energy to attack the rest of the group, who couldn't escape due to a gigantic prison of vines he had created.

Eagon was there as well, helping. Still, Eagon bitterly smiled as he attacked the opponents. In his eyes, Celis simply had no need for his help at all. He could definitely fight all of them on his own.

Celis' surroundings had become nothing more than a slaughterhouse. And it was especially merciless as they forced Celis to stop his beloved time cultivating to come out and deal with them. He was releasing his anger on these guys without a care for the result.

'Where are you looking at?' Roan's voice echoed in Qestuve's mind as his White Star Scythe came slashing down.

Qestuve gritted his teeth and immediately used his Time Power to the maximum, forcefully pulling his body away from Roan's range. Qestuve really didn't want to leave. The Divine Origin Energy inside Cryan was just too important for them.

However, it was at this moment that Rean had an idea. "Hey, Roan... You know what my Domain does, right?" Rean asked while fighting Vladrie.

Roan glanced at Rean for a split second before using the Stellar Piercer once again during his own fight. "It negates the effect of Enemy Domains. Why? They aren't idiots. They should have understood it already."

Rean smiled and nodded. "Exactly, it negates the effect of the enemy's Domains on us. It makes it look like they don't even exist. Yet, I remembered something... My enemies' Domains are capable of both affecting the enemy and helping themselves. For example, this Purple Lightning Domain is providing your opponent with quite some extra power, isn't it?"

Roan nodded while dodging a Purple Lightning. "It does."

Rean then laughed. "Hahahaha! In that case, what stops me from using my Domain to negate the effects their own Domains have on themselves?"

Roan's eyes showed a rare moment of surprise. "I say... You can be quite nasty, can't you?"

"So, should I not do it?" Rean asked back, not minding Roan's comment at all.

Roan coldly smiled, though. "Stop? I only feel like an idiot for not having thought about something like that before. Go ahead!"

Rean immediately focused on his Domain and set all his enemies as allies as well. However, Rean made it work the opposite way. While his Domain negated the detriment effects of his enemies' Domains for his allies, he made it so his Domain negated the buffing effects of their own Domains! Now, not only couldn't the enemies' Domains have any effect on him and his friends, but their Domains also couldn't increase the strength of their users in any way!

"What is this?!" Krutos exclaimed in horror as he felt his Spatial Lightning Domain becoming completely useless. He used it to teleport his Lightning Attacks everywhere while merging with it to move even faster, but he had now completely lost connection with it. He could still keep his Domain active, but he simply couldn't use it!

Qestuve and Vladrie were no better. They could also feel their connection with their Domains disappearing instantly. Not only that, Roan's Death World, Celis's Energy Draining, and Kentucky's Waka Blade Domains' detrimental effects immediately increased! Experts must use their own Domains to fight against the effects of the enemies. With Rean's sudden change, Celis, Roan, and Kentucky Domains crashed down on them with full force!

"Retreat!" Qestuve instantly lost all the will to fight. He was only able to match Roan in battle, not win. His own Divine Energy most likely wouldn't last longer than Roan's because of Celis. Now, he felt like even his life was being taken away by it.

Unfortunately, things weren't that easy. 'Leaving so soon?' Roan seemed to teleport in front of Qestuve, slashing down with his Scythe without thinking twice.

Qestuve was instantly overwhelmed by Roan's assault, having to focus all his energy on his Time Power. If he let his guard down even for a moment, Roan would definitely kill him! He quickly dodge Roan's attacks to the best of his abilities, pushing his Time Power to the maximum. His Divine Origin Energy was drained even faster as Time Power consumed a lot of it. Yet, he had no other choice other than to continue using it.

*Arrggghhh!*

Another scream sounded from behind, which sent a chill on Qestuve's back. Cladrie was the first one to receive a serious attack head-on. Rean had the easiest battle before, let alone now. In an instant, Vladrie, even with his much better control over time, simply became too easy to deal with!

Even Kentucky, who wasn't able to match Krutos all this time, began to fight him on equal terms with Rean's newfound ability. "Hahaha! The early bird gets the worm, right? I wonder how good Eel meat tastes like."

Krutos gritted his teeth in humiliation, yet all he could do was focus on his escape. He saw how Vladrie was put out of combat and immediately sent a Divine Sense Message to Qestuve. 'Qestuve, I'm out of here!'

Right after, his bloodline essence began to come out as his power of space increased several times. He knew that doing it would cause a huge backlash that could take hundreds, if not thousands of years to heal. Yet, it was better than dying here. He forcefully opened a Spatial Gate where Spatial Rifts wreaked havoc. He didn't care, though. He threw himself inside, disappearing within the Spatial Storms.

Qestuve cursed inwardly. With Krutos' escapade, Rean and Kentucky immediately turned their attention to him. Without thinking twice, he took an item from his Pocket Dimensional Realm and threw it back at Roan and the others. Using that item made Qestuve feel his heart bleeding, yet he didn't look back and continued to flee.

Roan narrowed his eyes and instantly stepped back. 'Get away from it!'

Rean and Kentucky didn't need to hear it again as they retreated even faster than Roan.

*Boom!*

A ridiculously powerful explosion of Purple Lightning and Spatial Laws created a small purple sun in the middle of the void. It definitely had the power of a Divinity Realm expert attack. If Roan had continued forward, he might have died to it. 'Sure enough, these guys always have a few cards,' Roan thought for a moment.

Finally, he looked back, seeing that Celis had also finished the rest of the Elemental Space Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts. "There is no need to go after that guy. He is already outside of our Domains' range. We can't beat his speed with his much higher Time Power without our Domains to hinder him."

Roan then looked in a specific direction, seeing a grievously injured man unconscious. "Good, you kept one of them alive."

Rean nodded. "Obviously. After all, we can't just let everyone escape without knowing what they could do to our Sunkan Planet in the future."

Roan agreed with him. "I'll make sure he talks."
