Transcendent

The storm ravaged upon the Forest, Harsh winds blew. rain eventually turned into Crystal hail and thunder fell as if it took the place of rain, The lightning continuously droped on the forest but most of it fell specifically at one spot

Athol Gazed deep into the forest as he watch lightning repeatedly fall on the same place multiple times as explosions rang out

After he had stacked up on information he easily knew what he was looking at

It was a break through specifically a beast break through

Rank zero Transcendent beast. A transcendentt beast was a beast that surpassed rank three, its power was immense as well as incredibly dangerous innate abilities that the beast would gain rivaled even peak rank three masters

Fear enveloped his whole body they were only eligible to even visit this forest because no transcendent beast was here but now that one was awakening the whole situation has changed and the balance of power was broken

The original storm was a massive natural one but due to the awakening it grew even stronger and the power of the storm coupled with the awakening the beast would be even stronger than it originally would have been the danger had increased by three times it wasn't known if even he would be able to survive in this place anymore

Although such a beast wouldn't even glance in his direction that wouldn't stop turmoil from occurring now that the balance of power had been broken beast would naturally turn barbaric and beast stampedes would grow frequent and so would deaths

Beast weren't like humans they grew stronger by absorbing energy from eating other beast and from just breathing they could gain energy, although some special beast had an innate cultivation method most of them gained their energy from killing and eating other beast and now that havoc was about to ensue more and more powerful beast would arise

Just as Athel's thoughts ran around in his mind suddenly the ground started to shake as if a massive earthquake was being born but as he looked into the distance a large dust cloud rose aimed in his direction. he immediately ran to the tallest tree that he could possibly find and went to the top

Although this was unsafe he would at least be concealed from the beast below and this tree would not be actively attacked and even if it got knocked down he would immediately jump into another one or far into the distance

He hoped that if any casualties were to arrive he would at least be able to protect himself or at most run away

He quickly sat on a thick branch and began to cultivate while he stayed alert he didn't unleash his aura in order to not be detected but he made sure that he would pay attention with his upmost ability

Elizabeth and Ruon quickly saw the stampede so they immediately jumped into their little holes

Although the holes weren't particularly high up they were about in the middle of the tree the trees in his forest were pretty tall so that was a big enough distance from the ground to ensure some type of safety

They instantly began communicating due the communication devices

Although only rank three beings could use Telepathy Elizabeth was an exception due to her unique existence but she decided that it would be better to get used to these communication devices

"Are you OK?" Elizabeth asked through the communication device

"Yeah I'm fine…..it's too dark in here and I'm scared" Ruin said back

"Don't be scared we'll only have to be in here for a couple hours, and remember don't use any energy it will alert the beast and we….might die" Elizabeth said she was extremely blunt and she knew that she couldn't keep babying Ruon so words with powerful meanings like death and such couldn't be held back

Ruon instantly felt her stomach turn she heard that word but she stayed strong and said "alright" before she became quiet again

Elizabeth didn't say anything back as they dived into darkness and silence but that was only momentarily as the stumps and growls of multiple beast arrived pushing and shoving the trees making them sway back-and-forth as if they would snap at any moment along with the help of the harsh winds it wouldn't be long before some unforeseen events occurred

They were both equally as frightened but could do nothing about it but wait and so that's what they did quietly and patiently as fear filled they're being as high ranked the beast ran past them killing multiple lower rank to beast in a flurry it seemed that the fear that those beast felt we're stronger than anything Elizabeth and ruined could ever imagine

...….

Back in the origin branch

"According to the spies it seems that a transcendent beast has awoken" viola said as her voice trembled with worry that couldn't even be masked by her stern tone and expression

Apep quickly shook his head lightly but he didn't let any expression show on his face before he said "it's fine we'll see how things go just keep me updated"

"OK" viola quickly said as she stepped away from him and walked out of the room

"One" Apep called out suddenly a man in black with a red mask appeared behind him

"Send team three to the forest, if things get out of hand they can move to kill the beast but make sure that you don't interfere with any of their training he said in a cold menacing voice as if everything was in the palm of his hand" The man nodded and said "OK" before he quickly disappeared as if he were never there when did he move as if he moved at high-speed it was as if he was truly a ghost

Apep quickly scratched his chin as he leaned back in his chair blew out some cold air and shook his head silently
