Chapter 907: You Scream Like A Coward
Advance Gold Grade Pranic Beast-Empyrean Whisker!
Many things were blurred in Sumatra's history due to how long it spanned. The incredible feats of countless beings were erased in the passage of time. However, thanks to the recounts of a Mystic Tentacle, the tale of the most ambitious, but cursed Race was widespread.
Gold Empyrean Tentacles were naturally occurring on Sumatra Continent. Ignoring them, the first Race to evolve into the Gold Grade were the Empyrean Whisker. And unlike every other race, it jumped from Expert Silver to Advance Gold, the highest jump in its era.
One of the strongest races to walk Sumatra, actively rampaging across the Continent in their efforts to evolve themselves, the Race seemed unstoppable until they reached Gold Grade. And then, they pretty much disappeared from history for a comically sad reason.@@novelbin@@
They were too strong!
In terms of appearance, it looked no different to a cat other than thirteen sets of retractable arachnid legs in place of its ribs. Its dark gold fur coat with stripes of magenta used to be the symbol of authority, which influenced the earliest of Free Human Kingdoms and Empires to opt for crowns and thrones with the same colour scheme.
With a Prana capacity of 7200 and a lifespan of 1690 years, the Empyrean Whisker was pretty much the perfect existence among Advance Gold Grade Pranic Beasts. At maturity, its body reached a length of 144 metres, with its retractable arachnid leg-ribs extending up to a length of 440 metres each.
Back in the days, the Mystic Tentacle that criticised the Empyrean Whiskers stated, "Had they been a tad weaker, they could have reached the Mystic Grade in another three eras."
The race with the greatest potential, one that once occupied most regions across Sumatra, but one that had been almost forgotten from history. That was the Race of Empyrean Whiskers. And the reason was their Nature that was both their boon and bane.
Primary Nature-Feeler Fur!
The whiskers of an Empyrean Whisker had a special property in that they could coil themselves into a string, which could conduct its Prana. These whiskers were perfect to the extent the Prana imbued in them was never depleted through storage.
Only when the strings took action was the Prana used up accordingly. Even if multiple whiskers were woven together, the resultant string behaved no different to a pipe for Prana flow, allowing it to flow freely without obstructions.
Prana could freely jump from one whisker to another that was part of the string with no losses, thanks to the whiskers' affinity and conductivity for Prana being at a hundred percent.
Upon coming across a habitable place rich in resources, an Empyrean Whisker would build its nest there using the strings created from its whiskers. This nest was similar to a spider nest, but the biggest difference was that the Feeler Fur could coat itself with the substances from its immediate surroundings.
Therefore, an Empyrean Whisker's nest wasn't perceivable to other beings, since it would be camouflaged with the terrain perfectly, whether it consisted of earth, water, trees, etc.
When a prey sets foot on this region, the nest would first detect them and transmit information to the Empyrean Whisker through the strings in the form of vibration. Sound, in these strings, travelled at speeds fourteen times the speed of sound in air.
Therefore, information was quickly transmitted to the Empyrean Whisker. And then, it would wait patiently before launching an attack, one that conveyed all sorts of stimulus to the prey and overwhelmed its central nervous system until it short-circuited.
