Chapter 290: Locked In Part Three

[Check Out My New Novel: The Trinity System]

Twenty years passed, and Misaki had turned into a cultivation machine. The mystic realm she was currently in had closed, locking them inside. When it closed, the whole place was covered in darkness, and the demonic beasts that roamed the land below became very active. To be safe, Misaki had even taken Faarel and Yan, who were now enclosed in their black flamed eggs to the top of a mountain and created a dwelling there. 

After her father died during the attack, Misaki became serious about growing stronger. She planned to destroy the entire gods realm when she finally returned to that universe. She had noticed many of her people were alive, but the cost was billions of losses, besides her family and the few hundreds of kids and mothers who made it through the portal to take refuge with the machine race. There were only a few thousand demons who had escaped to the far reaches of the gods realm. 

Her people died unjust deaths, and this enraged Misaki to the point that she almost went insane. If it were not for the fact that her wives were always contacting her, she would have really lost it. They were able to keep her out of a depressed state. That feeling of thinking it was her fault for not being able to protect her kin weighed heavy on her mind. It was her wives that told her to work on becoming stronger so she could come back to them faster.

"Oh? It seems I broke through. I got some kind of funny mini Misaki sitting in my soul realm now. I think Chun'er called this realm the nascent soul realm. It seems I still got quite a long way to go..." Misaki mumbled to herself. She got up and stretched a bit and walked to the entrance of her immortal cave, and looked out into the darkness. "I guess I will go get something to eat!"

Ten more years passed, and at the edge of the universe, Alicia had found herself in a bit of a bind. 

"This doesn't look good." Alicia said as she looked at the strange magic circle that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. 

"I have never seen these kinds of inscriptions before." Yin Li looked at Alicia, who was looking back at her. The two nodded at each other and then tried to fly out of the range of the magic circle, but just before they got to the edge, they were both flung backward.

"What the hell is this!?" Alicia yelled as she stabilized herself. 

"I think we are trapped. It might be a trap to keep those who wished to reach the edge of space from doing so. I am not sure if this is the work of the first Origin or the work of some other higher beings like the death race. But it seems we are indeed stuck here until we can break out of this place." Yin Li replied. 

"Then let me try this Ahhh!" Alicia went to use her bloodline power but was immediately riddled with pain causing her to be unable to transform. 

"Are you okay!?" Yin Li flew over to Alicia and checked her pulse. "Don't try doing that again. You damaged your meridians. They will heal with no problem, but if you try to transform once more, they might be destroyed." Yin Li was a little surprised to see such a thing happen. A bloodline should never react in such a way. She could only think that this magic circle had something to do with it.

Turning back the clock a bit. The two girls had been traveling for a long time. Alicia would only stop once a night to visit with her family and check on things at the castle. Besides that, she was always traveling, working her way to the outer reaches of the universe to try to bypass the death race's territory then as they entered an area of space devoid of anything. No gases, planets, or any other celestial bodies, for that matter. They stumbled into this magic circle that appeared out of nowhere.

This now brings us to the current event. "Li, try to attack the barrier and see if it will break or not. If I can't use my bloodline, then that makes you the strongest person right now between us." 

"Alright, let's give it a try." Yin Li began slowly moving her hands about in front of her in a circle-like motion. But the effect she had expected to happen was not happening at all. She stopped what she was doing and looked at her hands in disbelief. "What's going on?" Yin Li once again began trying to cast her spell, but no matter what she did, nothing was happening.

"Li?" Alicia looked at Yin Li, confused only to have Yin Li turn and look at her as she frowned and shook her head.

"I can't use any magic or any of my powers for that matter. This whole space is like an anti-everything zone." Yin Li frowned. She felt very helpless at this time since there was no telling how long they would be trapped here if they could not use any of their power.

"Then..." Alicia pulled out her space and tried to enter it. But no matter how many times she tried, it did not work. She began to tear up and started to become scared. she did not want to be stuck out in space and not even be able to see her family. "What do we do?"

"I am not sure For now, you should heal up. Maybe when you are healed with the combined efforts of both of us, we can at least enter your space. Then we can work out a plan from there." Yin Li suggested. 

Alicia thought for a moment and decided this was the best course of action. Just now, when she tried to use her power to infuse it with her space, she could not exert enough strength because when she tried to give it her all, her meridians began hurting. 

A month passed before Alicia was finally fully healed. The two girls stared at each other. Their hands were both holding on to the small rock. They gave each other a nod and began working together, infusing every bit of power they could muster up into Alicia's space. They could not use much power because every time they did, it would just disappear upon leaving their body, but their efforts were not in vain. A bright light flashed, and the two girls disappeared from the darkness of space. A lone rock sat floating within the confines of the magic circle, in the midst of the deepest darkest part of space.
