"Young master, is everything alright?" Shark Head asked while panting, it seems he sprinted after sensing the energy fluctuations.


    "No need to worry" Kai smiled and replied.


    Shark Head turned his head and inspected the surrounding, he didn''t check anything properly while rushing.


    "What in the world is this?!" Shark Head eximed while looking at the huge palm print in the ground. He can''t even measure the size from his position.


    Kai didn''t reply anything, he simply enjoyed Shark Head''s amazement.


    Finally, Shark Head saw thr ck liquid floating at the centre. "Young master, is that fragment?" He pointed out as he sensed familiar aura.


    Kai nodded and moved towards the treasure. Shark Head followed him behind curiously.


    Kai took the treasure and injected his Will Power. It didn''t reject him and instead actively epted his Will Power.


    ''It seems I didn''t control the fragments fully before.''


    Kai thought after he acquired the ownership of Innate Treasure. When he was using the fragment, Explorer was still the owner of treasure; so, even though Kai was recognised by it, he wasn''t able to control it fully.


    After Kai willed it, the ck liquid transformed into a bracelet and appeared in his hand.


    Kai injected his Will Power and activated [Quantum Decoy] ability. He immediately teleported 100 metres away and a decoy appeared in the ce he was previously standing.


    ''Energy consumption decreased and it easy to control as well.''


    "Shark Head, get ready, we will try to activate the dimensional rift and leave this ce."


    "Young master? Me?" Shark Head asked in confusion.


    "Now that I be true of the treasure, I can let others inject their energy, soe and help me." Kai exined, and he also knew that his energy alone won''t be enough to open the rift, even though the energy consumption was decreased.


    Shark Head stood near Kai and ced his hands on bracelet.


    "Start"


    After Kai order, he injected his energy directly into bracelet. Kai did the same thing.


    Kai appeared in the same darkness with small light scattered everywhere; he chose the nearest light towards him and injected his energy on it. He also guided Shark Head''s energy towards the same light.


    After both energy injected, the small light lit up. It''s intensity increased, but even after consuming half of the energy, the light didn''t even change a bit.


    Shark Head fell down, unable to provide energy anymore. Kai persisted for few moment, sweats appeared on his forehead, but he too took his consciousness back and sighed in defeat.


    "Young master, what should we do now? Other than increasing cultivation, there doesn''t seem to be any way." Shark Head took a deep breath and expressed his concern.


    "Yeah, I don''t think we can activate this ability before achieving Tier 4." Kai replied, but he doesn''t seem to concerned.


    "Young master, are you nning to wait that long?"


    Achieving saint or tier 4 wasn''t easy. It required talent, patience, experience, resources and more importantly chance. Without any of the above element, achieving saint realm in a short period is important.


    "Don''t worry, I have another method." Kai smiled mysteriously.


    Shark Head looked puzzled, but didn''t ask anymore question.


    "Senior, please reveal yourself."


    After Kai''s voice, the same old man or Abyss Dragon appeared out of thin air and asked. "Did you guess?"


    Shark Head surprised by the sudden appearance of someone; but more importantly, he scared to death after seeing him.


    His entire existence screaming him to die for this man. Fear and despair enveloped his hear, he didn''t want to die in this way.


    "It seem I didn''t notice this little baby near you!" Abyss Dragon noticed Shark Head scared by his presence. He withdrew his bloodline, which is currently affecting Shark Head.


    As a being who stood at the peak of beast kingdom, he naturally had authority over beast below him. But because of his overpowered cultivation, Shark Head wasn''t able to see him properly.


    "Thank you senior." Shark Head breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude. He knew that he wouldn''t have survived right now, he wasn''t even able to scream for him.


    If Abyss Dragon didn''t notice him coincidentally, he would have really died.


    Abyss Dragon didn''t care about Shark Head and looked Kai for his answer with expectations.


    "Your guess is correct senior, I did expect you wouldn''t leave me simply" Kai nodded and told the truth.


    Abyssal Dragon can easily guess that Kai''s energy won''t be nearly enough to leave this ce. The only one that can help Kai was him in this situation, so he waited and didn''t leave immediately.


    "What will you give me in exchange?" Abyssal Dragon asked while smiling, but it doesn''t seem geniune.


    "Nothing" Kai surprisingly shook his head.


    Not only Abyssal Dragon even Shark Head didn''t expect that Kai would openly reject the proposal.


    Without letting Abyssal Dragon replied Kai continued "I don''t have anything to give and I don''t n to get your help, if you want something."


    Kai can still get out of this world, if he used Genesis root. He already owed a promise to this dragon and he didn''t want to owe another one.


    As long as the Genesis root didn''t lose its origin, it is possible to replenish it. Kai decided to dy cultivation as long as he can escape this world.


    But Kai also knew that Abyssal Dragon wouldn''t allow him do that. Although, he didn''t know the exact situation of Abyssal Dragon, he knew it wanted him to be strong, so strong, that someone strong as the Abyssal Dragon required his assistance.


    "You shouldn''t try to y with strong opponents." Abyssal Dragon, who lived immortal life guessed Kai''s small n, but still agreed to help him.


    Kai smiled and nodded. He wouldn''t try to trick his strong opponent unless it wasn''t dangerous.


    Without saying anything, Abyssal Dragon took the bracelet and inject it''s energy into it.


    Within a moments, a huge gate more than five metres appeared infront of him.


    "I connected this gate to the nearest world, I don''t know your world''s co-ordinates"


    Kai nodded and walked towards the gate. He took the bracelet and turned towards Shark Head "Come, lets leave this ce"


    Shark Head hurried, afraid that his young master would leave him behind. He didn''t want to stay the dragon anymore.


    Before Kai and Shark Head entered the gate, the Abyssal Dragon said "Remove the curse, if you want to pass the trial."


    Kai wanted to ask further details, but the gate teleported him and Shark Head.


    The space tunnel stretched out like a cosmic ribbon, its walls shimmering with the light of distant stars and nebe. Kai and Shark Head,panions in adventure, were adrift in its currents, their forms mere shadows against the luminescent backdrop. The light at the end of the tunnel, a beacon representing a, grew brighter, beckoning them forward.


    As they neared the light, a tremor coursed through the tunnel—a warning of instability. The Abyss Dragon, a silent sentinel, had anticipated such an event. With a surge of power, he wove his essence into the fabric of the tunnel, reinforcing the weakening structure. His ancient energy pulsed through the tunnel, a temporary bulwark against the forces threatening to tear it apart.


    Despite his efforts, the distance proved too great, and his influence waned. The tunnel buckled, and in that moment of chaos, Kai and Shark Head were torn from each other''s grasp. To them, it was as if they had merely blinked, the transition from the tunnel to the unknown so swift it defiedprehension.


    Kai found himself alone, the space tunnel a memory behind him. He stood in the midst of a vige, its architecture a blend of stone and wood, nestled within a verdantndscape. The air was filled with the sounds of life—chatter, the tter of tools, the distantughter of children.


    Kai''s relief was palpable as he stepped into the vige, its cobblestone streets and thatched roofs a wee sightpared to the foreboding wilderness. The vigers, with their simple clothes and curious nces, went about their daily lives, unaware of the cosmic drama that had just unfolded.


    He moved with purpose, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of Shark Head, but hispanion was nowhere to be seen. The curse the Abyss Dragon had mentioned loomed in his mind, a shadow over his thoughts. Yet, the familiarity of the vige, theughter of children ying in the square, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery offered a semnce of normalcy.


    Kai approached a group of vigers, hoping to glean information about this ce and, with luck, find Shark Head.
