The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1338

…

It sounded like a crystal shattering before everything turned black for Viper. The power of the Magnum revolver is terrifying as it even shattered the energy of the formation array like a glass crystal ball.

Xin Ja was even shocked when he saw this and was even more shocked to see the head of his enemy which was half shattered by the force of the impact.

He wanted to shoot two times to make sure that his enemy would not be standing anymore, but stopped his next shot as the first shot has already taken half of the enemy's head.

Xin Ja rummage at the body of the enemy and found a small book.

"Dimensions and space…" he muttered after reading the cover.

Xin Ja was a bit surprised to discover such a manual. In his curiosity, he opened it and realized that there are no words in the manual.

In fact, Xin Ja is well aware of dimensions and space. He is able to create storage spaces and also has his own storage ring, so how could he not be aware of such a thing?

But he was very curious about what kind of knowledge he would gain from the book.

But since he could not find anything in it, he decides to store it in his ring. But as soon as he did he was stunned. The book would not go inside the ring.

He tried several times but to no avail. This time, he became more curious about the book.

He decides to put it in his robe and continually search the body of Viper. He even found a storage space that uses a different set of rune arrays than what he uses.

Xin Ja left the area after burning the corpses before him. The soldiers were not able to struggle as he put them out of their misery with a single shot and burned their corpses.

That night, Xin Ja decided to search the book and try to discover its secret. But to his annoyance, he could not see any words in it. He tried using runes and even his absolute sense, but it did not work.

He then annoyingly threw the book on the side then looks up into the night sky.

He noticed that tonight the two moons in the sky seem to have merged into one. It is a rare occurrence that only happens once every quarter.

As he watches the merging of the two moons a faint smile appears on his face.

"What a lovely scene…" he could not help but say.

Then suddenly his eyes were attracted to a slight gleaming light beside him.

To his surprise, he noticed the thin book slowly changing its shape… until it became a thick hardbound book.

Xin Ja quickly picks up the book and when his eyes landed on the first page, he immediately gleam in astonishment.

What he is reading right now is the first page of the theory of space.

With his photographic memory, he began to scheme through the pages of the book.

When he closes his eyes, he could feel that something is trying to erase the memory inside his mind. But a slight smile appears on Xin Ja's face.

He did not hesitate to continuously scheme through the book until he finished the last page. After closing the book, his mind began to supplement the idea he has from the book and then in his own experience.

But before he could think deeply he noticed the book changing its shape and then becoming the manual that it is.

Xin Ja just kept the book in his robe and then looks at the moon which is now slowly separating.

"Hmm… to 20 minutes… for that time, one can study the book. And I'm guessing that through that, Viper is able to create his own domain…" he thought about how a mere Ki-Master is able to control his own strong domain.

According to what he knows about domains, it is a powerful ability, and people of this world should be able to use them. However, everyone forgot about such power, and only when they reach Ki-Champion and higher would they remember a part of it.

Xin Ja did not bother with this thought and began to concentrate as he immerse himself in learning.

The advantage he has over others is that he has a Unique Vision that is embedded in his soul.

And through using that, he is able to record everything and recall it after at will.

…

One week later…

In the thick and dark forest, are two 5-meter tall creatures facing each other. Their surroundings have already been destroyed and everything is in ruins.

One of the creatures looks like a Minotaur with sharp long horns protruding from its head and back, while the other one is like a long-clawed gorilla.

The two has suffered heavy wounds on their body and is now currently weak. But the clash between the two has made such a huge ruckus that it has attracted many different beasts in the forest that is watching the battle in the shadows.

Among those that watch this battle are a group of humans standing atop the trees while having concealment arrays on their bodies.

"This is the right place, right?" asked an old man while standing next to a handsome youth.

"Yes, according to the map given by my sister, this should be the place… We should prepare this spot for the others… Although we could not enter it, we should let the younger generations to get this chance and help our An Clan…" the youth said with a smile.

As the group looks at the scene below them, they could not help but swallow a gasp of air. This is because those two beasts, although already weak, still display the power and strength of late-stage Ki-Champions.

With such overwhelming might, they knew that they would have a hard time killing those beasts if their group fought with them.

So they decided to just watch and wait.

Plus, they have also noticed the presence of some beasts in the area that is no weaker than those two.

Suddenly, the two beasts stop fighting.

"What is happening?" asked one of the men.

"I think those two knew that if they continuously fight, someone would take this chance to attack them…" the handsome youth explained.

"Elder… can you cover this area with your domain?" the young man suddenly asked an elderly-looking man behind him.

"Young master, it is possible… but my domain could only envelope 200 meters… more than that is not possible anymore…" the old man explained.

The young man frowned deeply upon hearing this.

They could not risk it because if they exposed themselves in this area then the beasts would surely surround them.

"Hmm… We cannot enter this place for now… Let's whittle their strength one by one by hunting those strong beasts…" he commented while in deep thought.

"Young Master, if this is a Shen's abode, then the more we could not let it be…" an elder said with a hint of worry on his face.

"If we attack now, then we would lose half of us in here… That is not worth the sacrifice…" the handsome young man said with a cold tone.

Greed would always be the downfall of men. But he, An Gonghai, will not fall for such weakness. He is the next patriarch of the family, so he must think for the clan and not quick gains. Plus, he has already decided to retreat and convey what he has seen in this place to his father and wait for his decision.

"Everyone let's retreat, leave someone to monitor this place…" he said while lifting his hand and disappearing from the spot.

The rest cupped their hand and followed behind the youth.

As everyone leave, a middle-aged elder has a look of disgruntlement in his eyes as he glared in the direction where the young man is going.

"What a coward… How could he become a good clan head in the future…?" he muttered with a deep frown.

"He is thinking for the clan, and is not selfish… That is why he is the perfect clan head…" a voice startled the middle-aged man.

When he turns around he saw an old man standing not too far from him.

This made the middle-aged man freeze in place. Beads of sweat quickly covered his back as he look at the white-haired old man in horror.

"Gre… Gre…" he stammered.

But the white-haired old man lifted his hand to stop him.

"I do not mind your attitude towards the next clan head… But if you do foolish things to cause my clan to be destroyed, I will personally burn your soul and imprison you for eternity…" the old man threatened.

Upon hearing those words, the mouth of the middle-aged man quivered.

"Ye… ye… yes, ancestor… This… this lowly one would not dare…" the middle-aged man quickly lowered his head.

He dare not say anything.

Sensing that no one is answering him, he slowly lifted his head to take a peek.

He could only heave a sigh of relief upon seeing that the old man is now gone.

But a slight killing intent appears in his eyes but did not say a word as he leaves the area.
