Chapter 1313 Limbs

Mia and Bella couldn't believe their eyes. They had been right! These two young men didn't have an ounce of cultivation. With their essence gatherer strength, killing them was as easy as flipping over a hand. Or so they thought How did their heads reform as though nothing had happened?!

"See what your nonsense gets us?" The red robed young man berated. "If we had found him as a child like we were supposed to, would we have to deal with all of this?"

"Don't blame me." The black robed young man said weakly. "How was it my fault that he was born in a universe so weak that my abilities hardly worked? How am I supposed to manipulate spatial energy if there's barely any energy to speak of?! You tell me? Instead, why don't you be more useful, huh?"

Clearly the black robed young man was fed up. They seemed to be two individuals of equal status, yet the red robed young man spoke like he was superior. Anyone would be angered by such a thing.

"I know who you two are." Eli said softly. "But I don't need to go with you. I can live a good life here. I have friends and I have family, do you really want to take me away? You're becoming the very same villains you claim to protect me from."

Unlike the twin sisters, the young men didn't ignore Eli. Instead, they looked toward him with a mixture of understanding and pity.

"Little brother, your world view is too shallow. For one, although this universe is pretty good, I've already scanned everyone here." The red robed young man explained lightly. "The strongest individual is a mere middle celestial. Even if I include those beasts hiding in that Mystical World, there are too few high dao experts among them, and considering their status, they won't come out easily.

"Aside from them, there's only a single second grade dao expert who's reaching the end of his life.

"How can a nation without a single peak dao expert, let alone a Higher Existence, protect you?"

The warmth in the red robed youth's voice shocked Eli, but he still felt unresigned.

As for the twin sisters, they were shocked. What did this young man mean by scan? How could he cover such a large area with his senses? Not to mention see through the cultivations of those far above him? It didn't make any sense.

"He's always been soft hearted, so he'll try to reason with you using your premise." The black robe youth said just as warmly. But there was a difference in his tone, he was akin to a seasoned elder diligently guiding a youth. "But I can't do the same in good conscience.

"For now, these people are your friends and family, but who knows what will happen? Who knows if they're not already using you like a prop? You have to understand that us Heaven's Children are far beyond even what star grade treasures can provide. Even a treasure of the 33 heavens would have to bow down to us. We can be considered the only true Legendary Path treasures in existence. You cannot stay here."

A complex light flashed in the red robed youth's eyes, but he didn't refute the words of the black robed youth.

A pain light crossed Eli's eyes. "They would never treat me like that" He said weakly. But he knew saying so was useless, they'd never believe him. "At least let me take my wife and child, I can't leave them here!"

The two youths looked at each other.

"You can take your child, but your wife isn't one of us. She cannot come."

Eli felt his heart shattering. How could he do that to Delia? She had just given birth How could he leave and take their child with him? She'd lose two pillars in her life instantly

Without even needing to hear it, the two young men understood his decision. Pus.h.i.+ng down their own complex emotions, they simultaneously took a step forward.

It was at this moment that the Demon Generals realized that something was wrong and began surging into the Palace and Hallways, of which Kaeda was the fastest, but it was already too late.

"You can't take big brother Eli away!" The two sisters tried to send out another attack, but it was useless. They suddenly felt deadly spatial energy circulate around them, if they took even one step forward, they would lose their lives.

The two young men reached Eli's side, each placing a hand on his shoulder before slowly fading out of existence.

"No!" The two sisters ignored the energy, diving forward to try and grab Eli from them. However, none of it mattered.

Mia's anguished cry rang as she lost an arm and a leg to the tyrannical spatial energy. Her sister, Bella, wasn't any better off, losing both of her legs in an instant.

The last thing they saw before they lost consciousness were the astonished gazes of the two robed young men. They clearly hadn't expected these two young women to put their lives on the line like this despite sensing the danger of the black robed young man's spatial control.

However, when they saw Dyon's concealment array on the twin sisters shatter, they snorted with disdain. The terrible, ghastly disease of the two sisters became clear to energy. Their flesh was rotting and blackened, their muscles were atrophied, and their once beautiful, delicate features became coated in infested puss. They were like living corpses

"See, little brother? These two were only willing to put their lives on the line for you because you're their only hope to survive. If it wasn't for the fact they'd die without your abilities, why would they risk themselves for you like this?"

Somehow, those final words before they disappeared hurt Mia and Bella more that the loss of their limbs. They felt their hearts collapsed, a hollow feeling gouging their chests with a suffocating sinking feeling.
