I'll Surpass The MC

"Yarsha…" The Boar King whispered all of a sudden, his expression turning less serious as time passed, "Run away from this place."

"Are you…serious?" Yarsha Zahara was shocked to hear his words as she used her kite-shaped Spirit Weapon to absorb an attack directed at the Boar King, "Why are you being like this all of a sudden?"

"Our kids are in the hands of the enemy." The Boar King said, "And that enemy seems prepared enough to kill me. In this world, an Influenced Region can still pose a threat to the current me. Now that I've split my body, it's impossible to rejoin due to the growing influence difference in our bodies thanks to Astral Chart."

"We've already determined that the one chasing after our kids will be the main body while my purpose is only to save you." He said and nudged in the direction of the ground while giving her an Information Slip, "I'll create an opportunity for your escape. And then,"

He stared at the sky, "I'll summon a Bolt of Transcendence to decimate everyone."

Yarsha Zahara used her Skill of Glove Slip to access the data in the Information Slip, eyes lighting up in shock, 'This is called a Transcendent Eater? A Parute Tree's final form is that of an existence capable of devouring even Transcendents?'

[While I was cultivating at the Gaja Enclave, I used Mystic Bone Art to digest the information present in the heart of the Empyrean Tusk that I had recently killed. The Mammoth Clan has someone capable of turning into the Transcendent Eater. This is one of their trump cards.]

A layer of exoskeleton armour covered the hearts of every Empyrean Tusk, used as a Bone Slip to store excess information collected by the Empyrean Tusk from its immune system. They didn't need to use one during their younger years, when they were healthy.

But as they grow older, the capabilities of their mind decrease over time. Eventually, they reach a point where they would have to use the aid of Bone Slips to store information that they needed but wasn't a priority.

Hence, they'd simply access it when necessary. The older one was, the greater the volume of data inscribed in the exoskeleton covering their heart.

Typically, an Empyrean Tusk only started this during the final two centuries of its life. The one killed by the Boar King had just entered that phase and hence didn't have much information stored in its Bone Slips.

Of course, just that wasn't enough for the Boar King to know about the Transcendent Eater. All this time, while searching for Sumatra Gold, the Boar King had been digging all across Sumatra, trying to find the homes of the past generation of Mystic Empyrean Tentacles.

Based around the homes of these Mystic Empyrean Tentacles were humans and Pranic Beasts alike, forming a civilisation based around the worship of this pinnacle existence. There were structures of prayer built for such purpose.

These civilisations collapsed once the deity of their worship left Sumatra, either due to infighting or simply growing distant, having lost their purpose in life.

While the Pranic Beasts formed their own territories, the humans would seek refuge in Human Kingdoms and Empires. Generally, when such humans enter the Brimgan Empire, they'd eventually get wiped out whenever the strength of their clout increases past a certain point and become registered in the radars of the Brimgan Royals.

As the Boar King explored the ruins of these ancient civilisations, he obtained plenty of data, one of which was the Transcendent Eater project. At the Ennoudu Plains, generation after generation, the Mystic Empyrean Tentacles were busy trying to grow a Transcendent Eater, intending to obtain its power.

Obviously, the last of them to have worked on the project was Renduldu, the Mystic Empyrean Tentacle whom the Boar King despised the most. Bit by bit, the Boar King managed to obtain data left behind in a few such ruins.

Hence, he recognised the Transcendent Eater at a single glance. But, even he knew that devouring the Transcendent Eater was dangerous. The current him wasn't equipped enough to suppress the Transcendent Eater's Primary Nature.

Astral Chart wasn't able to perfectly suppress the Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity, given how these Natures were able to warn the Empyrean Tusks of the Boar King's position well in advance.

So, suppressing the Nature of a Transcendent Eater was impossible. Upon seeing how Yarsha Zahara was struggling to suppress the golden feline she had stolen from Boul Brimgan, the Boar King realised that targeting the Transcendent Eater was foolish.

It was why he simply stole blood from it and used it to fight his enemies. And now that the ground had turned into lava, adding to the toxic whirlpool that had formed before, he judged that the Transcendent Eater was planning to escape.

A glance at Orakha and he knew they were together, 'The Mammoth Clan controls the Transcendent Eater's power. Renduldu must have arranged this, since he was the Mammoth Clan's pet.'

[Currently, the Transcendent Eater is in the process of reviving someone. I want you to steal them and make your escape! Enter the Major Treasure's Influenced Region and reinforce my main body. Only then can we rescue our kids from Resha.]

Yarsha Zahara's power only stole the product of a Nature and not the Nature itself, like Voracious Nature did. So, she wouldn't have to worry about the Transcendent Eater's power consuming her from within.

"Okay, I'll do as you said." Yarsha Zahara said and seeped more of her Prana into her golden feline, exercising greater control on it for the moment. She was seated on its back and hence didn't have to worry too much about the lava.

The golden feline constantly jumped from one branch of the Transcendent to another and remained at a safe distance from the lava. Even though the Transcendent Eater was strong, the Boar King kept its actions in check, allowing Yarsha Zahara to move freely.

As the lava began to burn through the body of the Transcendent Eater and raise fumes, covering up the region, Blola took the chance to partially revert to human form. Even he could understand that Orakha's attack was to form a cover for his escape.

The tunnel created by Gannala winded through an expansive network under the Brimgan Empire, reaching all sorts of places. Once the minds of both bodies of Blola synced back then, he had all the necessary details to navigate through the place.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to guard the entrance for the time being. But once the Boar King was dealt with, Blola would return to take position once again, for the Mammoth Clan within the Attributed Region depended on his exit to leave the Brimgan Empire.

He landed on the ground amidst the smoke, his landing silent. After all, his limbs were still in Transcendent Eater form. His legs resembled the roots of the Transcendent Eater, dug into the ground to continue absorbing nutrients for his needs.

His two arms resembled branches, with a fruit hanging from each. Blola needed a lot of resources to revive Yennda and Grehha. Hence, at least one leg—in root form—of his had to be in the ground at all times.

Otherwise, the entirety of his Prana would be consumed in a matter of seconds for the revival needs. Blola lifted his right leg out of the ground and extended it to a spot a hundred metres away where the roots dug into the ground.

As they began to absorb nutrients, he uprooted his left leg and contracted his right leg, moving forward by a hundred metres. His left leg then extended forward by a hundred metres to dig into the ground, following which his right leg uprooted itself.

In this manner, Blola travelled through the tunnel while continuing to revive Yennda and Grehha. The walls of the tunnel were filled with Mystic Eaters covered with the power of Orakha's Human Avatar.

They acted as guards, protecting Blola's escape.

"Shit!" Blola flinched in shock to see the thousands of Mystic Eaters in the tunnel hiss in alarm suddenly and rush towards the entrance, 'Someone's after me!'

There was a flash, following which the walls of the tunnel turned into a rock—resembling the same material generated by a Rockatrice. An instant later, they unleashed a powerful suppression effect, causing Blola's Prana to turn sluggish.

The Mystic Eaters that had rushed to the entrance became shredded by an artillery strike, spiking the toxic fumes being generated in the region.

As Blola continued to run, a massive Mystic Eater chased after him, accompanied by a hundred smaller ones, concerned about protecting him. Seeing it, Blola stared deeper into the tunnel nervously, assuming an enemy was coming from there.

He was ready to assume his Transcendent Eater form. And upon seeing a hole form on the ceiling forty metres away, he didn't hesitate to become a Transcendent Eater. In this form, he was basically invincible, unlike his human version.

The hole widened in a second as jumping out of it was a concerned Orakha, stunning Blola, 'Wait! Aren't the Mystic Eaters his? Then why are they rushing to face him…?'

Seeing Orakha's expression of tension, Blola realised what had happened, 'Shit! I was fooled!'

He hurriedly turned towards his back, noticing the massive Mystic Eater was in his face. Its body exploded as the figure of Yarsha Zahara jumped out of it, boosted by a shockwave pulse of Prana.

Her figure flickered past Blola, racing across his branches before reaching the two fruits hanging from a heavily guarded branch. As the branches targeted her, she emptied all of Geugeu's lightning stored in a Minor Treasure of Lunchbox, stunning her targets.

"Shit!" Orakha unleashed his attacks, but couldn't reach her on time as his Mystic Eater had to stop abruptly to avoid slamming into the kite-shaped Spirit Container that had appeared before it.

Followed by a second flash, Yarsha Zahara landed on the fruit that was in the process of reviving Grehha and placed her fingers—that had transformed into her Human Avatar—on it.
