Chapter: *Astral* *Bridge*

The illusionary figure's head swept passed the others, it's eyeless head felt as if it was staring piercingly into their souls , causing them to subconsciously shiver.

"Roy, no need to try intimidating your fellow colleagues in this. I will go over the plan right away" Greenwood's voice sounded out, putting a sense of security and bewitching charm to those that listened to it.

This strange yet mysterious force caused them all to relax and put down their guard a bit, however, this instantly terrifies them.

'Green's dreamforce had grown more powerful'

Parker sucked in a cold breath and unconsciously sneaked a glance at Paul, afraid to meet his eyes.

"Alright, everyone, the four of us here today are all silver rankers and we're even heads above our mates in our cultivation through our battle achievements but the task we have at hand is like no other, in this mission, we have to exterminate the president as quickly as possible. The Intel I received on him says he has reached a bottom neck in his cultivation and he's attempting to breakthrough but he has gotten a strong backlash, causing his cultivation to plummet down drastically and he's even almost a silver ranker now" Greenwood spoke slowly, trying to burn each word into their head.

Parker and Sharon exchanged a quick glance then looked at Roy's ghostly figure.

"What makes you think, your intel is legit and we ain't walking into a trap?" Roy's voice sounded out coldly

"The authenticity? I got this news from his special adviser and that man has been friends with me for ages, infact, he was the one that gave the coordinates to assassinate most of the other ministers. If we dally, he will recover in 14 days and that's it" Greenwood stroked his chin and looked into the eyes of each participants.

"But of course, Imagine, what we would get from killing and raiding the president? The overflowing treasures and cultivation manuals that man extorted from us, infact, we might even get his life essence crystals and know how to breakthrough to a red tattoo'er" Greenwood quickly persuaded them with some benefits.

It can't be helped, all cultivators are really self-centered people and they mostly do things that benefits them. Greenwood was merely using the carrot and stick method to drag their interest into this.

As expected, the moments, Greenwood mentioned the benefits, their eyes lit up and even Roy let loose an excited laughter

Greenwood chuckled and flicked his sleeves gently.

# RUUUMMBBLLLEEE

Numerous motes of light appeared in the air, space trembled and the air grew frenzied, keeping up a huge and terrifying wind. The resplendent motes of light gathered into a bundle, forming a strange link to somewhere else

Space was seemingly tore open and a spatial continuum appeared in form of bridge, stretching into a pitch black direction, the continuum looked like the gaping mouth of a primordial beast.

Chaotic energy whizzed back and forth continuously in the continuum.

"This astral gate links to the office of the president, I have had the special adviser help me set it up" Greenwood turned and looked at them with a smile. But those who knows him, would know, this smile was very terrifying and savage.

Greenwood without the slightest bit of hesitation or waiting for the rest approval, his body turned into a flash of light, passing into the spatial continuum, he personally created. The moment, he entered, the astral bridge shook slightly and chaotic energy gathered in steady streams, attempting to block his advance but it was cut through.

Parker had an indifferent expression, although Greenwood had stringed his task with benefits, he still had a rational thinking, he couldn't really trust the man but since he's already here, the least he could do was have precautions

Roy turned his head to Parker and Sharon, slowly nodding knowingly before literally vanishing, it seemed as if his ghostly figure had melded into space. Infact , they only knew he had entered the astral bridge when it slightly trembled and the gathering of chaotic energy.

The astral bridge's gathered motes of light weakened in luminosity and even the bridge itself flickered between reality and illusion, it seemed, it won't be able to last for long.

Parker and Sharon immediately turned into streaks of light, penetrating the interior of the astral bridge and as if the astral bridge knew they were the last ones, the gathered motes of light exploded and the spatial continuum collapsed, resulting to the disappearance of the gate completely.

# WHOOOOSSSHHHHH!

Space and time twisted and multicolored lights whizzed into his front, the chaotic energy in this twisted spacetime continuum skyrocketed, Parker's figure was like a knife through butter, it cut through the space and faced no obstacles.

The picturesque view of the spatial continuum was quite breathtaking and surreal, scattered multicolored lights, seemingly forming star-like radiance and even vortexes of dazzling chaotic energy that looked synonymous to a black hole riddled the space as well but there was no energy particles in this place.

Parker stroked his chin and took in all the view. If anyone below silver rank had attempted to cross through this astral gate, the person would have died because the chaotic energy here was too violent and it rejected any other energy particles, it can attack the body and cause it to explode

But a silver ranker can casually deter the chaotic energy with their domain, making them move freely here like a fish in a water.

Suddenly, his vision swarmed and slowly regained clarity, a well kept desk and expertly arranged chairs greeted his view, the picture of the president hung loosely at the corner of the wall but when he turned around, he saw the pictures of other president, their valiance posture and authoritative gaze pierced into his eyes and even caused him to bow his head slightly, it was without exaggeration, that this men were the apex during their time

But he merely shook his head and realized, time is truly the foe of man. With time, even the most talented and terrifying genius will disappear.

Parker quickly noticed, Sharon's figure beside him and scanned the area with his domain, his domain was firmly suppressed and it could barely cover half of the room, it was as if something was suppressing it and couldn't find a trace of Greenwood.

"Relax, Greenwood went to activate some runic formations outside this room, he will be back soon" A sonorous voice sounded out, as if reading his mind.

Parker turned and looked at the direction of the voice and caught sight of ghostly figure floating right at a corner in the room, his hand was crossed and it looked like it was staring at him.

Sharon's expression became unsightly.

"Start up a runic formation? And you didn't follow him? What if...."

'Alright, everyone, I'm back" Greenwood unknowingly cut Sharon's speech.

"The heptagonal formation has been set. Rumored to suck out the life force of it's target, further weakening him. I prepared this specifically for the president" Greenwood continued.

"Well, then, where's he?" Roy quickly asked.

Rings of dazzling starlight studded the outermost layers of the star system, it was in constant motion.

The pendant on the necklace gave out a soft glow, immediately dissolving the pain and stabilized his mind. Parker coughed out a mouthful of blood and didn’t dare meet the eyes of the president’s figure. Greenwood snorted and hefted the obsidian scepter. He didn’t also dare look into the eyes of the president, but he was physically ready. “I thought you said he wouldn’t attack,” Parker groaned in rage. Greenwood’s expression twisted in fear. “He isn’t supposed to. His strength should barely just be in the half-step gold realm. I don’t know why he isn’t taking a passive stance in this confrontation.” Greenwood’s voice was lanced in a bit of fear. The figure on the throne chuckled and stood up, a green r

It exuded a terrifying presence, even a silver ranker wouldn't dare approach this mansion casually, it looked akin to an ancient primordial beast, infact, anyone below gold-ranker couldn't come 15 metres close to the mansion, an invisible pressure would push the person out.
