Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 764: Something is very wrong I



A boisterous and annoying laugh reverberated through the bright sky above the floating islands, causing the group of people flying around him to scoff.

Jian rubbed his nose with a sheepish expression, a wide grin on his face as he stared at Kyle with excitement.

"I should call you Master! Why don't you accept me as your first student? You are so good at teaching others!"

Kyle's eyebrow twitched as he met the white eyes staring at him. Another month had passed since he revealed the secret of his bloodline to Jian.

In this month, more than fifty percent of the dark army had retreated from the Forsaken Land, leaving parts of the battlefield strewn with remnants of the brutal conflict.

The fighters who had come here to join the war and dedicated themselves to the battle were finally finding moments to rest.

The gloomy air had transformed into one thick with camaraderie, and the echoes of clashing swords and battle cries were now accompanied by hum of comforting voices that dared to hope for a brighter future, one free from the shadows of war.

Kyle did not let his speechlessness show on his face and ignored the remarks of the red-haired man before him.

He didn't teach Jian anything; in fact, he wasn't even sure what nonsense he had told him whenever Jian came to discuss the natural law of time.

However, for some unknown reason, Jian had grasped it. Today, for the first time, he even managed to manipulate it.

Kyle raised his fist silently to attack the man floating before him, but Jian had other plans. With the newfound power of nature he had finally grasped, he tried to freeze time to stop Kyle's movement. But he gasped as he lost his grip on time.

Jian's eyes reverted to their normal color, and before he could process anything, he was struck in the stomach and hurled down like a discarded piece of clothing, crashing into the land below and creating a crater.

Sinon, Regius, and Alec, who had been shocked and envious when Jian suddenly controlled time in the midst of their battle against Kyle, finally burst into laughter at the sight and cast him pitying glances. It was actually Carcel, the one who never mocked others, who spoke up.

"One should not be too arrogant simply because they have grasped the fleeting thread of greater power."

Sinon interjected with a whistle.

"Oho, looks like someone just exceeded their word count for the month. I figured I wouldn't hear his voice for a week more."

Carcel shot him a blank stare, and Sinon couldn't help but smirk, fully aware of how speechless he had left him.

They didn't have time to banter further because, after trapping Lara in a barrier, Kyle made his way toward them.

They braced themselves to face him. However, Kyle paused midway when Mia and Yue attacked him together. He didn't use his fists, but he certainly didn't go easy on them. A surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, sending them flying.

But if one looked closely, they could easily see that he enveloped Yue's body in a thin layer of protection to ensure she didn't get hurt in any way. This was what one would call preferential treatment.

Alec, along with everyone else, rolled their eyes as Kyle once again proved he was a cruel jerk. Throughout the battle, they had watched as Kyle ensured that not a single scratch touched his wife's body while he mercilessly beat them, showing no regard for their well-being or mental health!

Sinon clicked his tongue and attacked Kyle with all his strength, a smile forming on his lips when the wind he controlled sent Kyle a short distance away from him. His massive wings fluttered as violent currents capable of tearing space itself surged toward Kyle, but as usual, they couldn't touch him as he disappeared from his spot.

Regius muttered a curse under his breath.

"I swear, whoever invented this skill never knew it could become the most frustrating weapon in someone else's hands! Ugh, if only we had this skill too!"

The countless people training on the floating islands paid them no attention.

For the past two months, the group of powerful friends had fought so frequently and displayed such immense power that the crowd had become numb to it all.

Not to mention, they already knew the outcome of these battles-it was always the Ice Monarch beating everyone else.

Kyle's figure reappeared behind Carcel, but the icy aura radiating from his body foiled the surprise attack he intended to land. He clicked his tongue when the golden-haired man slipped away like the wind.

His green eyes turned to Alec, who stood his ground and took his attack head-on by folding his arms before his face.

Kyle hummed and increased his strength and speed with each strike. He felt pleased sensing that Alec had progressed so much.

Alec clenched his jaw but suddenly flashed a wicked smirk, and in the next moment, the very air around Kyle seemed to warp as an overwhelming pressure bore down on him from all the

directions.

Kyle groaned as his movements slowed. He sensed the pressure and tried to fight it off as he murmured briskly.

"First wind, and now gravity. So now we're using natural laws in the battle, huh?"

He was aware that Alec could manipulate the law of gravity, but he didn't realize that his understanding had evolved.

Just as Kyle was about to unleash his full agility, despite the pressure gnawing at his skin, a soft weight plummeted from the sky, accompanied by a whispering voice that only a select

few could perceive.

"James."

One word-just one word-and Kyle's body froze. The voice was familiar, he thought.

But the instant he stopped resisting the pressure weighing down on him from all sides, it took effect, and a thin streak of blood oozed from his lips.

The deep crimson color stood out vividly against his icy skin as it trickled down his chin, only to freeze into ice.

Alec's eyes widened, and he instantly halted using the natural law before rushing toward Kyle to check if he was okay.

He had also heard the strange voice, but it carried no malice; it had called out James's name with a sense of familiarity, so Alec's mind didn't perceive it as a threat.

Kyle waved his hand to signal that he was fine when he saw everyone rushing toward him. Everyone halted, but Yue frowned and unleashed her divine and spiritual energy to envelop his body for healing.

This left the others in the area feeling conflicted as they glanced down at their badly bruised bodies. No one had come forward to heal them, yet just a single injury on Kyle had Yue rushing to treat him. Wasn't this a bit too unfair?

Kyle didn't stop the energy flowing into his body as he glanced up at the sky, searching for the

source of the voice he had heard. He sensed a pure and vibrant presence above him, and in the next moment, his eyes fell upon an old man whose body was entirely composed of nature,

floating high above.

He narrowed his eyes, and his friends also took notice of the old man floating outside the boundary of the Forsaken Land.

The old man, clad in white robes, seemed taken aback that so many young people could sense

his presence so easily.

He wasn't exceptionally strong and had remained at the pinnacle of the supreme rank since his birth, but as the Will of the Universe, only those who could manipulate at least one natural

law could perceive his presence and true form.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, how could he not be surprised by the multitude of gazes directed at him?

He looked down directly at Kyle and the others with the kid, blinking in recognition as he

recognized each and every face.

How could he not? He had gone to check on all of them when they ascended to the

transcendent rank.

Ultimately, his gaze settled on Kyle.

'Oh, it's the kid with the Celestial essence. He is still alive?'

His surprise grew the more he looked around the Forsaken Land. Everything had changed too

much. More importantly, he couldn't sense many powerful individuals from the dark side in

the war.

'What happened in my absence?'

He frowned; he had come here to check on the remaining seals of the Realm of Dream when he felt a strong, ominous sensation.

But he had checked both seals and found no issues with either of them, which made him even more restless. That's why he had come to find James, one of the few people he had ever conversed with.

As the Will of the Universe, he had the natural ability to sense if impending doom was near that could threaten the balance of existence. He couldn't interfere directly, but if the universe were destroyed, he would cease to exist. Therefore, he did everything in his power to protect

the natural order.

He snapped out of his thoughts when James appeared before him. His white eyes met Kyle's green ones for a moment, but he looked away, feeling a sense of urgency for some reason, and

glanced at James.

"I have a feeling something is very wrong. Increase the guards around the seals. No, go guard them yourself. Take Odiak and all the elders with you as well."
