Poison God's Heritage

The Blue Sun on the other hand was happy almost jubilant. But she had to keep some forms of decorum and not gloat.

The Darkest Sun kept displaying what he was seeing and hearing.

"Let\'s leave now that they withdrew," Dao Shen spoke. "We don\'t know what happened but I don\'t think we should be wasting more time."

"Dao Shen\'s right, let\'s go," Shen Bao said as he ordered his puppets, "We\'re marching at full sprint."

Suddenly, the first wave of puppets charged up ahead, then soon the other followed after it. And not long the entire army was sprinting forward at incredible speed. Each puppet step was fully synchronized with the others, and the loud stomping of steel soles reverberated through the Bastion like the sound of a giant made of steel. Heavy, precise and loud.

The speed they were going at was relatively slow and would take them several hours just to reach the exit. But that was the best option they could take right now. After all, if they discarded the protection of the puppets around them they\'ll risk being trapped or lured into an ambush. Find your next read on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

Time went by, and a few random rakshasas had the unfortunate event of ending up on the path the group was taking to the exit. But that was it, a few random rakshasas at best. The huge numbers of these things were no more as they spread through the entire bastion hiding in darkness.

"They\'re almost at the exit," the Darkest Sun said.

And they were, they just arrived to the room where the last few survivors of the bastion ended their lives at. It was rather dreary to look at. The door behind them slowly locked itself and closed it off the rest of the bastion.

Only then could they take a breather.

The small administrator then said, "I can no longer follow you beyond that door," it said as it slowly skittered to the side and placed one of its tentacles on the wall.

A loud morphing of steel echoed from the direction of the exit area.

"I enabled the stairs, this should help you reach the exit, if you had tried to fly up or run up, the entire bastion would try and crush you. Thank you for all your help," the administrator said.

"No worries," Shen Bao said, "Sadly I couldn\'t save your Queen. If I ever get the opportunity, I\'ll come back and get rid of these things later," Shen Bao added.

"I hope to see you well by then. The exit door you came from will automatically open up for you when you reach it, it will only remain open for one minute, please be hasty in your departure," the administrator said and the small red light on top of its head turned off.

Law sighed saying "Wish if we could have taken him with us, he was interesting."

"He isn\'t a pet, also he belongs to his bastion. He was born from it, and should stay with it. Alright let\'s pack our shit up," Shen Bao said as they resumed moving out toward the exit.

They soon walked up to the long corridor and instead of it being empty, this time it had a large set of stairs leading all the way to the red door at the top where we came from.

As they were climbing the stairs, they felt like a small tremor happened.

No one thought much of it, after all, they\'re in the land of the Thunder Domain and such tremors are normal with the amount of thunder happening all day long.

But then another one happened, and this one was slightly more impactful.

This made everyone look at each other, something didn\'t feel right. More and more tremors began occurring and they sounded louder and louder in frequency that it was getting disturbing.

The administrator that had been turned off suddenly lit up.

"THE NOBLE ONE HAD ESCAPED! RUN!"

There was no point in hesitating or thinking of how and why it got out, right now, they had to leave.

The Darkest Sun stood up from his seat.

"That creature… it needs to die right now," he said.

The Blue Sun who was adamant on retrieving the knowledge of the Bastion didn\'t speak up this time, but rather confirmed and agreed immediately, "Destroy the whole thing if needs be," She said.

No one was surprised hearing her speak like that, though she wasted ages of her life creating clones that could penetrate into the bastion to study it, and although they failed, and the cost was heavy, it never crossed her mind that she would feel hesitant to safeguard that knowledge if it comes at the expense of the livelihood of the beyond.

None of the Suns of this land would want it ruined, especially by foreign forces. They suppress their own strength not to harm the Beyond. And in case of bickering or when issues occur, they arbiter one of the suns to solve it.

And now, it risks being invaded the same way the world that originated these creatures did, there was no need to even entertain the idea.

The eight suns immediately nodded, though the Lord of Lords did say one thing, "At least we\'ll wait until the children are out," he said.

"I don\'t think that\'s possible old man," the Cryptic Sun said, "After all, we can\'t save them if we\'re going to exile the entire thing. They too will be exiled with them.

The Lord of Lords was hesitant and felt rather conflicted. He didn\'t want Shen Bao and his friends to perish alongside the entire Thunder Domain. If that happens it will result in a huge blow to the Beyond.

The Eight Suns used the time it would take to blink twice to reach the rims of the Thundering Domain.

"Spread Out!" the Flamboyant Sun said as the eight of them each took a corner of the Thunder Domain and were about to begin exiling it by completely removing and uprooting the entire thing from space itself.

"For the sake of old friendship, I should as the eight of us to hold for a bit, seeing that the creature in question isn\'t out yet and these few kids are almost at the door, let\'s give them an opportunity to leave first," the Flamboyant Sun said, "After all, they\'re all at the void stage and managed to survive in the enemy\'s den.

"I agree," the Red Sun said.

"Of course I agree," the Lord of Lords replied and more of them came to the agreement of allowing Shen Bao and his friends the chance to leave.

"Well sorry to burst your bubble, but that doesn\'t look that easy," the Darkest Sun said as he projected the view of the Fire Lord into their minds.

Looking at where Shen Bao and his friends were a few of the Suns had an ominous look on their faces.

From their point of view, Shen Bao and his friends were almost at the door, no the door had already opened up wide and they got out, the problem was that the door wasn\'t closing down fast enough.

Far down on the staircases were several shards of another door, the very door that was stopping the rakshasa from going past the last room. It had been turned to brittle pieces of metal. And the preparator was a massive rakshasa that easily towered over the group by at least fifty times.

It had six arms, two of which were humanoid with six fingers each, and the other two were that of a praying mantis.

It\'s head was a mixture between that of the Black Rakshasa\'s large parabolic head, and the long sleek skull of the Silver Rakshasa that extended all the way to its back.

Though this one was quadrupedal, it had three tails swaying behind it, and vibrating at such high intensity that they would carve into anything they merely touched.

The creature was slithering and running up the staircase at incredibly fast pace.

Was it waiting for the door to open? Did it wait all that time knowing full well that it could escape whenever it wanted, the thoughts kept crossing the minds of the eight suns unable to figure out what kept this thing from going out for so long.

The skies high above the Thunder Domain turned darker and darker. The Heavenly Law was fully aggravated due to the presence of these creatures and was about to rain down endless thunder upon them.

"Let us begin!" the Flamboyant Sun said. There was no hope anymore, that thing was clearly at the power level of the suns themselves.

If it could have been reasoned with, it would have been much better, but a fight against one of the suns would undoubtedly cause an irreversible damage to the structure of the beyond. The best solution was always a full exile.

Even though Shen Bao and his friends were still there… they had no choice.
