Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 447: Screen Between Ascension

"Ah!"

"No!"

"Don’t look!"

The three women all cried out in alarm as their dresses were blown all over the place because of Grandgale. If they had been in their normal long dresses, the wind wouldn’t have done much at all.

However, because of the heat, they had all had their dresses cut. Now, they were all in skirts, so what were they supposed to do about the wind? They all pushed down their fluttering skirts, flustered. At the same time, they looked at Sharky with shame and annoyance.

Sharky about to explain himself when blood shot out from his nose, causing the three women to immediately speak out together in condemnation. In the end, he had no choice but to beg for mercy before saying, "I’ll head upward to take a look at the Golden Crow situation."

The three women couldn’t be bothered to blame him further, and all watched him depart worriedly.

Sharky felt his body growing hotter and hotter. In that instant, he almost felt like Icarus from Greek mythology, who fell to his death after the sun burned his wings to nothing.

Fortunately, his body was tough, and he used the Heaven Devouring Sutra to suck away the heat shining down on his body and ingeniously eliminate it. Just like that, he continued flying through the air.

In the three women’s eyes, his figure grew smaller and smaller in the distance. Even with their powerful sight, they practically couldn’t see him anymore.

However, Sharky noticed that he was still far away from the Golden Crows. He was alarmed. The Golden Crows weren’t as far away as the sun was from the Earth in his previous world, right?

Hm? Wait. I don’t think I’ve ever left the scope of this planet yet...

He had seen Earth from space, and yet he had never experienced a similar perspective in this world even though he could fly!

He gritted his teeth when he thought of that, deciding to continue upward. At his cultivation rank, he didn’t need to breathe externally, and could make that an entirely internal process.

Together with his tough body, the vacuum of space wouldn’t be able to hurt him right away. Thus, he wanted to take the chance to see just what was going on with this world.

He continued to fly for a while. According to his estimations, he should have already left the atmosphere, and yet there was still only a boundless sky above him.

Suddenly, powerful winds swept past Sharky. Wherever they touched him, his skin began to crack apart. He was alarmed, quickly using the Primordial Origin Sutra to repair his body. Then, he tried to grit his teeth and continue flying upward.

However, bursts of purple lightning suddenly surrounded him. Many of them even seemed to hide human figures and palaces within.

The terrifying pressure made all of his hair stand on end. He realized that if he were to be struck by the lightning, he could die on the spot. He was so scared that he didn’t dare to continue.

Thus, he quickly used Shadow Phoenix to pull back. The surrounding winds immediately weakened considerably, but there was still one arc of lightning that struck his body. His entire body trembled, and he almost fell from the sky.

Without pausing for a second, he immediately used the Heaven Devouring Sutra to lead the lightning elsewhere. At the same time, he frantically absorbed primordial ki to repair his body.

The power of the lightning weakened significantly compared to what he had felt before. However, that was likely because he had withdrawn promptly; otherwise, if he had continued up and was really hit by the lightning, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.

When Sharky flew back to the tornado, the three women jumped in fright when they saw his charred black face. They were about to ask him what happened, but Sharky’s head tilted to one side, and he plummeted from above.

The three women quickly caught him. At this point, they couldn’t be bothered by that kind of physical contact.

Diana examined the scorched traces on Sharky’s body. Her expression suddenly changed.

Charlotte also turned toward her and remarked, "This is the aura of heavenly tribulation lightning!"

Alina had no idea what they were talking about. However, they didn’t have time to explain it to her as they both used their skills to help him recover.

A while later, Sharky finally began to wake up again. From his head to his elbows, to the rest of his body, he felt as if he were surrounded by soft clouds. He could smell an incredible fragrance all around him.

He suddenly realized something, finally understanding what was going on. He really didn’t want to get up and let it end.

"Brat, stop pretending. I already saw your eyes move,What did you end up experiencing just now?" Diana asked, bonking him on the head, but she didn’t use that much strength.

Sharky put away his smile and told them seriously about his experiences. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

When they heard what had happened, Charlotte and Diana’s expressions became a bit strange.

They began, "Should we scold you or laugh at you? You’re already a master rank cultivator, and yet you don’t even have basic common sense! Forget about you, not even an earth immortal can break through the screen in the heavens above."

"Not even an earth immortal?" Sharky asked, shocked.

"Why else do you think it would be called ascending to the heavens?" Charlotte replied. She explained, "There are actually records of this in the cultivation world. The farther up you go, the more powerful the devastating astral winds and heavenly lightning become."

"From ancient times until now, there have been countless geniuses who have attempted to surpass them, and yet not a single one has succeeded. There are some who suspect that this world is actually nothing more than a cage."

"The reason why we didn’t stop you is because this is a secret dungeon, and thus not a complete world. Besides, it was possible that, because of the deficient nature of the laws of this world, it wouldn’t be that dangerous."

"How could we have expected that you would be so stubborn? You already encountered the astral winds and heavenly lightning, and yet you still went straight in," Diana said. Her tone made it sound as if she were scolding him, but it also carried a hint of worry.

Sharky chuckled in embarrassment. He wasn’t someone from this world in the end, and his strength had increased too quickly.

He didn’t cultivate according to the same traditions as other people in this world, which was why he lacked some common knowledge.

He wondered, "But then, if I can’t even get close to those Golden Crows, are they already legendary immortals?"

The three women were all stunned. They suddenly realized that terrifying reality. Even though all of the monsters they had encountered along the way were formidable, the group had still been able to deal with them without too much difficulty by working together.

That was why they had subconsciously assumed the Golden Crows to be on the same level as those monsters.

However, even though the Golden Crows were also monsters that had laid the groundwork for Arjuna’s heroic path, that didn’t mean that their strength was the same.

Furthermore, judging from everything they had seen, the Golden Crows could very well be the Fiend Emperor’s ancestors. The Fiend Emperor was already an earth immortal, so how weak could his ancestors possibly be?

When they thought of that, their expressions became a bit ugly. The atmosphere immediately turned grave.

Charlotte suddenly shook her head, saying, "I think not. If they had already become immortals, it would be completely impossible for us to win."

"This mission would have been completely impossible for us from the start. Shisupala would not have sent us on a task that could not be completed."

"That’s hard to say," Diana said with a sneer. "It might be that he wanted to send us to our deaths."

Charlotte wondered with a frown, "Who in the world would harm others without any benefit to themselves?"

"Come over to our Holy Sect. I promise you that in a single year, you’ll see something similar every single day," Diana remarked, snorting disdainfully at her naivety.

"He’s still hoping for us to get revenge for him," Sharky said quietly. However, he felt that Shishupala wouldn’t be that kind of person. He continued, "Either way, we’ve already come so far. Let’s give that Scalding Valley a look first."

The three women knew that was the case, so they weren’t opposed to it.

However, their expressions no longer contained pride and satisfaction with their accomplishments so far, and became extremely grave instead.

Even the rate at which Sharky glanced at their thighs decreased by a tenth.

---

A while later, the winds around them gradually became weaker. Alina suddenly pointed into the distance and called out, "Look over there!"

The others followed Alina’s directions and saw a giant tree that towered into the sky, splendid and magnificent.

The mulberry tree they had encountered in Mulberry Forest was already quite large, but compared to the one they were looking at now, it was completely insignificant.

This tree’s trunk was tens of thousands of meters wide and reached straight through the clouds, seeming almost as tall as the heavens.

Meanwhile, its trunk stretched down into the ocean, and it seemed as if its roots were planted in the deep sea. The water around the trunk boiled endlessly!

Charlotte was stunned, saying, "I remember Shisupala and Grandgale mentioning that the Golden Crows often bathe in the sea. Could that be the reason why the sea is boiling like this? But all of them are clearly flying in the sky right now!"

"Those Golden Crows are just too powerful. Even the residual heat they left behind is enough to make me feel a bit uncomfortable," Diana said, her expression grave. Could they really win against creatures as powerful as this?

Alina stared at the tree and said, "This should be the Goldenrain Tree they were talking about. So there was actually such a large tree in this world! No wonder all seven suns could perch here."

Sharky simply felt a bit absent-minded. This Goldenrain Tree was indeed large, so large that it exceeded normal people’s imaginations.

However he knew how large a sun really was. Even though the tree was large, it was nothing more than a speck compared to the real sun.

There was no way it could hold a real sun, let alone ten of them. However, this world claimed that it was the place where seven suns roosted!

He looked up at the seven suns far up in the heavens. He suddenly thought of something. Could it be that this world’s suns weren’t real suns?

Rather, were they just Golden Crows taking on the role of the sun, causing the people to think of them as the sun? If that was the case, where was the real sun then?

He looked up at the heavens, thinking about the frightening astral winds and heavenly lightning he encountered.

It wasn’t just him; not even the other talents throughout the ages had been able to pass through them. Could it be that there was some kind of secret deliberately hidden in the heavens?

Or perhaps...

Is the sky we see above us just a fake sky?

As soon as that thought appeared in his mind, he felt a chill run through his body. However, he just laughed in self-mockery. How could that be possible?

The group quickly flew towards the Goldenrain Tree. If they found the Goldenrain Fruit there, then they would become immortal by eating it.

They felt waves of heat batter them continuously. If not for the fact that their cultivation was quite high, they would have been cooked through in an instant.

Sharky picked up a few Golden Crow feathers nearby. There was a faint fiery light swirling around them. They definitely weren’t ordinary items.

He put them away, then asked, "Should we take a look around and see if we can set up some kind of trap? We can try to deal with them once they return." He thought that fighting them head-on didn’t seem too realistic.
