Death… And Me

Hurio smiled in response, telling Rean, "Don't worry. The necklace itself is only a piece of Golden Middle-level Equipment. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to use. As for the runes, you won't find them anywhere else as only the people in my background can use them. Of course, I won't tell you about it either. However, the piece that really matters is not the necklace itself but the bead. You'll be able to find out what it is if you put in the effort, so I have no need to hide it. It's called a Rainbow Pearl. It's a very rare item that can only be found inside the Continental Walls."

"Rainbow Pearl?" That was the first time Rean heard of such an item. "The Continental Walls have all elements running through them, so I guess it makes sense that something like that can be obtained from there. It sure must be very expensive."

Hurio didn't deny that, nodding as he replied, "It is. In fact, I don't even think you can put a value on it. However, few would want to buy it anyway, as it's only good for those who specialize in more than just one or two elements. Cultivators like me that specialize in the five mainstream elements are very rare."

Rean and Roan agreed with Hurio. It was the first time they had found someone who used more than two elements during battles. As mentioned before, everyone could use all elements, but they weren't as proficient as their own affinity. That's why those who learned more than one element would usually learn just one more. Obviously, it would be an element that complemented their affinity, but that was where it ended.

With those answers, everything was over, and the twins' group continued forward. In the end, that rainbow pearl was useless for Rean and Roan as it didn't have Light and Dark Elements in it. Of course, the Continental Walls also had Light and Dark Elements inside them, so perhaps they could find something as good as the pearl there someday.

Seven and a half months after entering the Lost Star Realm, the twins, Kentucky, and Celis, had finally accumulated the necessary energy for the breakthrough. At first, it was supposed to take at least a year. But because they found the Divine Origin Energy area, they were able to fill up their dantians with a lot of Divine Energy. That cut their time by more than a half. In fact, it was supposed to be much faster. After all, they had Rank Three Divine Stones. However, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky were staying in the outside world, so only Celis was using them.

Hurio didn't find the twins' request to stop to break through that strange. He simply thought the twins were already very close to a breakthrough after the Divine Origin Energy event. Little did he know that they were below himself in percentage after that occasion. It was all thanks to Celis and the Rank Three Divine Stones that they caught up to Hurio and even reached the point of breakthrough far earlier than him.

Hurio then acted as a guard for them after stopping in some concealed place. "Alright, I'll keep an eye out together with your demon beast. You can go and do your breakthroughs."

Rean shook his head, saying, "In fact, Kentucky has also reached the threshold to enter Peak Stage Seven. He was just waiting for my order to proceed forward. Since we've already stopped, I might as well let him have his breakthrough."

Hurio was surprised to hear that. "Is that so? All three of you are breaking through at the same time, then? Such a coincidence." However, he also warned the twins. "Nevertheless, I think you should breakthrough one after another, and not together. What if someone appears and I can't defend? As you know, I won't risk my life for you. It's not part of the clauses in the Soul Binding Contract we signed."

"It's fine, it's fine," Rean assured Hurio. "The breakthrough won't take long anyway. We should be done in a few minutes."

"F-f-few... minutes?" Hurio found it hard to believe. Breakthroughs should take hours, and some people even took days to do so. "Are you serious?"

Rean just smiled in response and didn't answer. Instead, he sat close to Roan and Kentucky before taking a few Rank Two Divine Stones out. In the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Celis had the Rank Three Stones. Soon, they started their breakthrough.

Hurio still didn't believe it, so he prepared himself to wait for a long time. Even if the twins somehow managed to finish first, the demon beast would take much longer... then again, a chance for that to happen wasn't given.

*Boom!*

A few minutes later, a huge burst of Spiritual Energy came from the twins and Kentucky. Soon, their cultivation began to rise very quickly. The Divine Stones around them also broke apart nonstop, being absorbed completely dry due to the breakthrough.

'Unbelievable...' That was all Hurio could think about.

Eventually, the twins and Kentucky's cultivations stabilized at the Peak Stage of the Saint Realm and the Peak Stage Seven level, respectively.

Rean then looked at Hurio with a smile, saying, "Thanks for keeping guard during our breakthrough. We're fine to go now."

Hurio's mouth twitched after that. "Are you really part of the humanoid races? And what's wrong with that demon beast? You broke through way too fast!"

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "We do have a few tricks up our sleeves. However, just like you said for yourself, it's also a secret."

Hurio could only sigh in resignation. He even pondered whether it was okay to talk about his own secrets, just to see if the twins would tell theirs. However, he quickly shook his head right after. "Alright, I won't bother with it. However, you also have to protect me when I try to breakthrough. Thanks to the Divine Origin Energy and the energy I had accumulated before that, I'm very close to entering the Peak Stage as well."

Rean and Roan nodded in response.. "No problem."
