Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 739: The battlefield II



A large rift opened in the sky, and Kyle's figure emerged from it alongside Bia. The moment the rift disappeared into the void, his eyes returned to their original color.

Before anyone could notice the two new arrivals, symbols materialized in the air around them, creating a powerful shield that concealed their presence and barred anyone else from entering the area.

Kyle was fine with the sounds of battle-metal crashing violently against metal, the sharp clangs echoing through the air like thunder amidst the chaos of war.

However, no one could prepare him for the putrid scent of fresh blood and decay in the air that assaulted his nostrils, forcing him to instinctively shut off his sense of smell.

Floating amidst the dark sky thick with swirling clouds of smoke and an ominous hue of crimson all around, Kyle ignored the figures engaged in battle around him and lowered his gaze to the land below.

Instantly, his eyes grew cold. No matter where he cast his gaze, the land below was teeming with people of all races, engaged in brutal battles against those who aligned themselves with the dark side.

The anguished cries of those who fell echoed through the air as their bodies collapsed, further cluttering the already gruesome landscape littered with bones.

He could feel the weight of despair in the air, enveloping the place like a shroud.

The frenzied laughter of the individuals from the demon, dark, and nightkin races, who seemed to have lost their minds from the sheer amount of blood they had spilled, made the scene even darker. That is why even the confident shouts and screams of those fighting the dark side did nothing to improve the situation.

Kyle closed his eyes for a moment to steady his nerves before exhaling. He had seen numerous brutal battles, but the scene he had just witnessed surpassed everything he had experienced before.

"Too many... there are too many enemies, almost never-ending. The sheer number is overwhelming, even for the supreme ranks. Where the hell are they all coming from?"

He understood that the people on the ground weren't taking to the skies to avoid being killed by the supreme ranks fighting above. But he wondered why James and the elders hadn't killed the weaker people from the dark side to reduce casualties?

Kyle got his answer when he suddenly saw a supreme rank elven woman from the dark side plummeting from the sky toward the ground, only to be repelled by a powerful force field that surged from the land.

The woman cursed and swiftly retreated from the force field, as if remaining near it would bring her a lot of harm.

Kyle narrowed his eyes at the scene.

"An array? No, it can't be an array. Or else, I would have sensed the concentration of symbols. An artifact? No... artifacts don't possess this level of power."

Without hesitation, he used his scent perception skill, striving to suppress the twisting sensation in his stomach caused by the noxious odors surrounding him.

After going through a bit of torture, he finally found the source of the force field; it was generated by the pure spiritual energy radiating from a massive, spherical core deep within the land below.

The shape and energy of the core resembled that of a planet's core, the only distinction being that its surface was engraved with ancient symbols.

"The symbols are far too ancient and distinctive; I can't decipher their meaning. However, what I can tell is that the force field generated by the core is repelling only those at the supreme rank and above."

He grabbed his spear. Understanding why James and the elders couldn't eliminate the weaker enemies on the land left him feeling conflicted, as the presence of the force field was both fortunate and unfortunate. Since it was preventing both the supreme ranks from the dark side and their own from interfering in the battle on the land.

"It's good I didn't ascend to the supreme rank. I can take out a significant number of enemies on the land without the supreme ranks getting in the way."

Kyle glanced at Bia to send her away, only to see the phoenix struggling to suppress her gag reflex at the gruesome scene and the heavy scent of blood and decay.

Noticing his gaze, she understood his intention and turned around to leave but was stopped by the shield around them.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

-"Remove the shield; I am going in the opposite direction. I can hear Nox trying to command the beasts. The lynx is close by."

Bia's head perked up in the right direction. Her eyes glinted with indignation, the foul odors around forgotten as she recalled the old grievance that still lingered in her mind.

- 'That lynx's name is above mine in the supreme projection! The audacity! He needs a good beating so the projection knows who truly holds the power!'

Kyle followed her gaze, unaware of her inner thoughts. He could hear the distant howling sounds. Nevertheless, he used his scent perception skill to ensure Bia didn't make a mistake. As he confirmed the lynx's presence, he furrowed his brow because Nox was alone and Yue wasn't with him.

He locked onto Nox's exact location, and before Bia could say anything more to him, a portal lit up before her. She blinked, but she entered the portal with a delighted laugh, knowing where it was leading.

The portal disintegrated after Bia disappeared, and as he lowered the shield he had created around him, his hair stood on end when he noticed numerous eyes locked onto him from the surroundings.

He smirked as he met the gaze of a supreme rank in the distance, but before the demon could reach him, he dove down toward the battlefield on the land.

"Time to practice my spear art."

The ground trembled violently beneath him as he descended into the throng of people, shattering the bones piled underfoot.

Kyle felt the pulse of the brutal war raging around him as he effortlessly killed many individuals from the dark side in his vicinity before charging forward with a speed unmatched by anyone on the land.

In just a matter of seconds, the painful cries echoing in the air multiplied.

To ensure he didn't accidentally harm anyone from his own side, he activated his scent perception skill, narrowed the skill radius, and sharpened his focus to target only those wielding dark energy.

Due to the chaos, no one on the land noticed the sudden shift in the battle, but the supreme ranks in the sky witnessed the bloodbath a single man had unleashed within mere seconds of

his arrival.

To make matters worse, he hadn't employed a single skill! However, none among them could intervene due to the force field; those from the dark side could only grit their teeth and hurriedly command the transcendent ranks to quickly eliminate the human who had just

joined the war!
