Book 7: Chapter 243: Peng (3)
Dyon’s jaw clenched lightly. Something was telling him that he had to enter, that all of the waiting and the biding of his time was for this moment. But, another, more rational part of him told him that the danger was too much.
The Lord Creator hadn’t said or done anything as his descendants died because he couldn’t. That meant the Laws he set on this world didn’t allow him to leave this third phase sky castle.
With Little Rain unconscious, one of Dyon’s trump cards had gone up in smoke. Then there was the fact that he didn’t dare to take his beast companions in with him, and he was even more unwilling to take Madeleine. The issue was that there was no way his wife would agree to stay here while he went in.
After this battle, Dyon understood the limits of Madeleine’s strength. Now being of the 12th Order and having her improved creation comprehension and constitution, she was able to fight even 8th Order peak celestials on even footing. In truth, she was slightly more powerful than the him now. If he didn’t use Titan Emperor’s Will, she could defeat him in a few moves.
However, when she was forced to face four 7th Order scions, she suffered greatly. Only with the support of the beast babies did she manage to come out relatively unscathed.
“You’re going in, aren’t you?” Madeleine’s sweet voice drifted into Dyon’s ears, causing him to unconsciously nod. “Then let’s go.”
Dyon turned his gaze toward his violet haired beauty, her eyes glittering like amethysts.
With a thought, Dyon grabbed her small hand, sending the beast babies into his inner world and waving the 13 keys toward the door.
An eerie snap spread through the skies, the soft creaking of doors not opened in several billion years filling their ears as a heat wave the like of which rivaled a star assaulted him.
Dyon and Madeleine walked hand in hand into a sea of blue flames.
**
Deep within the Dark Ocean of the Water Mist Sect’s territory, a beautiful yet deadly scene was taking place.
On one side, half a dozen creatures radiating a majestic rainbow light sat primed for battle. Each had eight sets of translucent, crystalline fins that look akin to fairy wings. Their bodies were covered with scales of various colors, ranging from light pinks to light blues and violets, giving them an otherworldly feel.
These were none other than the Dragons of the Sea, the Rainbow Kun Peng Clan.
On the other side, a domain of ice and wind ravaged the dark waters. Even under several tons of salty ocean, a winter wonderland was born, raining with delicate and fluttering snow while being supported by overbearing pillars of ice.
With this domain, a beautiful young woman with ten snow-white tails stood beside another equally as beautiful woman wearing robes of silver. These two were none other than Comet Lord Clara and Empress Ri.
“Leave!” The head of the Kun Peng tribe roared into the waters, suppressing the two women instantly and nearly shattering their dual domain.
If others had been here, they’d be stunned. This Clan Head was already a Pseudo Dao Expert. For these two girls who couldn’t even defeat a high celestial, let alone a peak celestial, they were too far out of their depth.
“Has the Kun Peng Clan already forgotten their promises to the Elvin Kingdom?” Ri said coldly.
“It’s in light of this past relationship that I haven’t chosen to kill you where you stand! How dare you as a little girl claim the title of Elvin Queen?! Do you take it for a joke?!”
Ri sneered, her bad temper flaring up once more. She had been restraining her true self for too long, now that she had decided to relax and follow the paths she chose instead of the paths that led to the most power, how could she allow herself to be suppressed here?
“The title of Elvin Queen was never given to the most power, it was always given to the one who was worthy. Even if I was nothing more than a child, you should give me my due respect!”
Ri’s manifestation bloomed behind her. A black fox loomed with an oppressive aura, a small diamond of gold shining fiercely on its forehead where it had fused with Ri’s crown manifestation.
No matter what the era, the manifestation of a crown always symbolized royalty. How dare they belittle her with such blatant proof before them?!
“The most powerful of your Clan is a mere pseudo-dao expert, you can no longer enter your human forms despite being transcendent grade beasts who have entered the celestial realm, yet you dare to look down on me?!” Ri’s delicate roar caused waves across the ocean floor.
It had been more than two years already, two years of constant hardship, all because of these dregs of a formerly glorious Clan. Yet, she had remained silent, simply taking it as a trial. She wasn’t like Dyon who’d throw a fit at the mere sign of a senior daring to test his limits, although her temper was fiery, she was more understanding.
However, even after passing those tests and reaching this point, they still wanted to turn her away?
The golden diamond on the black fox’s forehead grew fiercer.
“You’re paying the price for the disobedience of your ancestors now, yet to think even while I’m willing to forgive you won’t take the treasures placed right before you… I’ll show you who’s the little girl and who’s the Elvin Queen!”
An ancient tree appeared behind Ri. If Dyon had been there, he would immediately recognize it as the manifestation of the Acacia Family – The Tree of Life and Death!
However, he would be incomparably shocked at the same time. The first form of the tree was an obsidian trunk. The second form shed this obsidian to reveal a translucent crystalline bark. According to the ancient tomes, this was the foremost limit of the manifestation. In fact, it was a limit that Dyon and King Acacia had already reached. He hardly used this manifestation anymore because its uses were limited outside of a large scale battle.
Yet, it seemed that after awakening to the true abilities of her constitution, Ri had shattered this supposed limit, creating something entirely new. This tree shed the mere Tree of Life and Death moniker, grasping firmly onto the title of World Tree!
The six Kun Peng showed signs of fear and horror. Their bloodlines ran cold and they felt their cultivations plummeting.
A bitter smile came from the Clan Head. “To think that after so many countless billion years, the seal of our race would still exist… The Ancient Elves are indeed mighty…”
