Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 771: Realm of the Dead VI



Jian cursed fiercely when he spotted another figure floating far away, watching the chaos unfold with a twisted sense of amusement. It was Enthrall.

"That fucker! I want to gouge out his eyes! What's so damn amusing?"

With a surge of adrenaline, he darted across the battlefield at blinding speed.

His eyes turned white, and the air around him stilled; not just the air, but everything in his surroundings froze as time halted under his command. Jian murmured a powerful spell aimed directly at Enthrall.

The sky erupted in a torrent of blazing flames, each flicker shimmering with a sinister hue of deep crimson.

Enthrall jolted in surprise as the flames morphed into a thousand deadly arrows, raining down upon him mercilessly.

Ceano and Damien were also alerted and scanned their surroundings immediately when they sensed that time had come to a standstill around them.

They initially thought Kyle had joined the fray to attack, but their confusion turned to surprise as they noticed an unfamiliar face wielding the nature to control time.

Damien sent Odiak sprawling with a kick and fixed his sharp gaze on Jian.

"Kill him."

His words were loud and clear, causing everyone around him to turn toward the red-haired man rushing toward Enthrall.

Carcel grabbed his spear and hurled it toward Ceano's body, which was just inches away from Jian, with all his might. Alec and Regius did the same. However, they failed to realize that the command Damien gave was not meant for Ceano.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Enthrall, who was leaping to evade the fire arrows aimed at him with a mocking smile, froze when the dark five-petal flower on his body reacted. His amused sapphire eyes instantly turned deadly serious.

After all, if Damien had suddenly resorted to using the flower to assert his command, it meant that their master was near. Now, he can't be a salted fish, can he?

He tilted his head toward Jian's approaching figure with a sinister smile.

"I am cautious..."

His words were followed by a powerful force that swept aside all the arrows raining down on him as he vanished from his spot and reappeared directly in front of Jian.

"That doesn't mean I'm weak."

Jian's eyes dilated as he failed to react in time, and the man before him plunged his nails deep into his heart without hesitation. He spat out blood as he tried to stop him but failed when Enthrall clenched his fist.

The cries of his friends echoed in his ears, but they all faded into the background as he became fixated on the sapphire eyes gazing at him with a mesmerizing light. Enthrall smirked when The saw the dazed look.

"Shhh... Sleep for eternity, or destroy those you care about? What will you choose?"

Faint blue particles surged from his fingertips, spreading through Jian's body to turn him into a mindless person, just like the monsters he had turned mindless the last time he visited the blue planet. So, even if his soul survived today and formed a new body for himself in the future, it would be pointless, as he would lose all capacity for reasoning and would attack ruthlessly anyone who dared to approach him.

That's what death meant in Enthrall's dictionary. If the person he wanted to kill didn't die, they would either become his slave or a mindless individual who would ultimately be killed by their own people.

Alec summoned all his strength and even jumped to the initial stage of the supreme rank for a short while with the system's help to stop him. He raised his fist, his eyes red and his expression filled with fury.

"You fucker-"

Yet, his attack was intercepted by one of Ceano's bodies, which spun and absorbed the blow head-on before sneering at him.

"You have too many people to care for. Don't you know that is what usually leads people to their downfall?"

Alec wanted to attack when a cold, deep, raspy voice echoed in the distance, causing them both to freeze. Not just them, but everyone else in the vicinity also froze.

"Oh, really?"

It wasn't fear that paralyzed them in their spots; the voice carried an overwhelming pressure that rendered them motionless.

Kyle blinked to regain his focus and glanced at everyone around him. He had lost all his senses for a short while when a significant portion of his life force was drained away by the array, causing him to fail to stop Enthrall in time.

His dark hair turned silver as he stared directly at Ceano with a chilling smile that resembled nothing like a smile.

"Doesn't that mean I have the same weakness as him then? Since I also cared for many people. And one of them seems to be dying right in front of my eyes."

The array around him buzzed with joy as a powerful life force surged from his body for it to consume. Kyle stepped out of the array and walked above it as its illusionary form solidified into a dark mass of energy. The icy flames danced around him, intertwining with the faint particles emanating from his body, creating an ethereal spectacle that pulsed with an overwhelming power capable of destroying everything.

"I wonder if it's painful... dying, I mean?"

With each step, he felt the coldness enveloping his body, intensifying in strength to halt him. The Will of the Universe turned to him when it sensed his aura but gasped at the sight of his body cracking like glass.

Kyle blinked, and in the next second, he was floating directly behind Enthrall, who tried to turn back and attack him.

But couldn't moved.

Kyle's eyes met Jian's hazy ones, and the green within them turned to white.

Everyone in the vicinity hissed as space shattered in a blur, and time rushed back with an anguished noise, as if forced.

The sky erupted with a powerful roar, and the Will of the Universe rushed to stop him when it realized what he was doing.

"Stop! You can't toy with nature so recklessly!"

He wasn't allowed to interfere, but as the Will of the Universe, he couldn't let anyone disrupt nature. It was one thing for Kyle to try to turn back time in his vicinity, but he was trying to alter events that had already transpired to save someone!

"Damn it! It's not like the kid's going to die! He can create a new body for himself! So, why are

you doing this?"

Kyle tilted his head and the old man rushing toward him was stopped by the icy flames. He wanted to say just because... However, considering his condition, he refrained. He watched as the hazy red eyes he had been staring at began to return to normal.

Time turned back, and with each moment, his skin cracked further.

He had already lost too much life force due to the array, which was still operating in the distance, and now his body was suffering for doing what he was forbidden to do.

Jian blinked in surprise, as if his thoughts had returned to him, and he blinked again. He glanced down at his body and released a harsh breath when he saw no blood. Not even a hint of it... He was sure his heart... even the thought made him shudder.

"This... Oh my..."

He pressed his palm against his racing heart, and a hint of excitement flashed in his red eyes.

So, one can really turn back time enough to alter events!? He whipped his head toward Kyle

with a grin, but the smile faded when he saw his condition.

"!???"
