THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 467 Fourth Layer

Arjun had to scheme. At the same time, he had to attack that monster's weak point. And his sneak attack should be accurate. It should hit that monster's weak point which was it's heart.

So Arjun diverted it's attack from him by deliberately diverting it's attention towards his clone. And he waited for a perfect timing. As soon as he got an opportunity he should act. And he should be quick enough to the point where he should attack before that monster realised something was wrong. After all, if he failed to attack before that monster felt something was wrong, then that monster would definitely alert itself. If that happens, then that monster would act.

Arjun might have the power to face a cultivator with the cultivation base of third awakening stage, but that is possible only if Arjun went all out. And most importantly, if he used the Void Qi! Without these two conditions, Arjun won't have any chances of contending against that monster.

So when Arjun was hidden while his clone was facing that monster, Arjun clad his Void Qi with the Dao of Flames and gave it a finis.h.i.+ng blow. And the Void Qi he spent to do this was enormous. After all, the one he was facing was a monster with the power of third awakening stage! He had to go all out even with the Void Qi.

Everything has gone according to how he planned. That monster has finally died because of his scheme. But as he spent too much of the Void Qi, Arjun has to take some rest.

As he was resting, he suddenly realised that he didn't know Rick's location. Rick suddenly disappeared with that silver light which enveloped him along with the Ancient Tablet. Even though Rick disappeared. Arjun at least knew that Rick is still alive. He sensed Rick's life essence with the mental connection he has with him. But it seems like Rick was sent to some kind of separate dimension. And it in return widened the s.p.a.ce between them. Arjun has no way to know Rick's exact location.

But unable to find the location of his friend was still a problem. Even though he was happy that his friend is still alive, the worry of unable to find his location was something to be bothered about. And until he could see his friend, Arjun's heart won't be at ease. After all, even though that Ancient Tablet is amazing as it helps a person to master the Dao of s.p.a.ce, Arjun didn't know whether it has any negative effect as well.

But just as Arjun was thinking how to start his search for Rick, to his surprise, a fair distance away from him, the Spatial tear appeared. And a person walked out of the Spatial Tear. This person was none other than Rick!

Rick looked around and found that he came back to the familiar place. He searched around and found Arjun sitting on the ground. He looked pretty exhausted. He said, "Ah! Boss, Finally I found you! This is incredible. Eh? You are alone? Where is that monster?"

Rick looked around. He found that giant monster laying on the ground motionless. Rick couldn't sense anything from that monster. The meaning is clear. That monster was dead. It was killed by Arjun!

Rick doesn't need much time to come to this conclusion. Firstly, he always trusted Arjun. He was sure that, even though it was difficult, Rick was sure in his heart that Arjun would win. But when he looked how exhausted Arjun was, he knew that this battle might be a little too much for Arjun. The battle didn't long last. After all, it didn't take much time for Rick to find Arjun. But with how quickly Arjun looked exhausted, Rick was sure that, he might have exhausted too much of the Void Qi!

"Are you alright?" , Rick asked.

"I am fine. It's just that I was a little exhausted!" , Arjun replied, " But forget about me. What about you? Where exactly did you disappear to?"

"Hehehehe! Boss! You won't believe it." , Rick said excitedly, "The layer we are in not exactly the third layer! It's actually the fourth layer!"

"Fourth Layer?" , Arjun was a little bewildered. He asked, "But wasn't there only three layers? Why exactly there are fourth layer? And if there is truly a fourth layer, then when we pa.s.sed through the spatial crack from the third layer, why did we entered the fourth layer instead of third layer?"

Rick replied excitedly, "Boss! When I was enveloped by that silver light, that tablet showed me some visions. It was as if, this Ancient Tablet is showing me some visions if it's past."

Arjun smiled. He said, "This is interesting! Continue."

Rick nodded his head and said, " It didn't showed me much. Like what exactly it's origin is. And how did it came to a form? It didn't show it. What it showed is that, this Ancient Tablet has four stages of evolution. Only when it completed all it's four stages of evolution, then it will start releasing it's aura. And with each evaluation, a separate layer would form. And because it has some kind of special energy, the supreme treasures were naturally formed."

Rick continued, "Each evolution would form a treasure that is higher than any other treasure. For example, in the first layer, this ancient tablet was weak. So when it evolved, it formed the Peace Seeking Mine! After another evolution, it formed those green Spiritual Vines! And it formed life forms in the fourth layer. These monsters are it's guardians! But you killed that monster."

"Then what about the third layer?" , Arjun asked, "And why were we led to the fourth layer instead of third layer?"

"It's because the pa.s.sage to the third layer was manipulated by this monster." , Rick continued, "The treasure in the third layer was so amazing that even you will be shocked. And this monster doesn't want anyone to reach the third layer precisely because of that treasure. That's why! It manipulated the spatial crack using it's Dao of s.p.a.ce to the way, when one enters the spatial crack in the second layer, then that person would enter the fourth layer instead of third layer."

Arjun sighed. He knew that even though he won the battle, he was still manipulated. This was the reason why Arjun cultivates. He hates when someone tries to manipulate him. He always desired to control his fate by himself.

Rick said, "Boss! Let's go! I will take you to the third layer!"
