Celestial Bloodline - Chapter 642: This place is quite handy

Kyle delved deeper into the formation. He quickened his pace when he discerned a faint sound of battle in the distance.

His steps halted as he reached a circular opening among a cluster of rocks. It stood half his height, prompting him to sit on his heels and peer inside. There, he observed a group of individuals engaged in combat.

Kyle’s eyes immediately fixed on a familiar figure amidst the chaos.

It was Regius. The elven man wasn’t engaged in combat; instead, he was seated on a raised circular structure like a few others, enveloped in a golden shield.

“What’s going on?”

Kyle tuned into the chatter of the combatants and discovered that they were battling each other to decide who gets to occupy the circular structures once the current occupants are finished.

The raised circular structures emitted spiritual energy. Those who hadn’t learned to harness this energy could learn to wield spiritual energy just by sitting on it, while those who already know how to wield spiritual energy could enhance their spiritual energy stat with its help.

“Oh… this place is quite handy.”

Kyle blinked and vanished, reappearing amidst the people who were fighting, causing them to abruptly stop.

They all immediately recognized him and stepped back with wary expressions. The air turned eerily silent.

However, he paid them no mind and approached Regius, who had his eyes shut in focus. Kyle glanced at the man seated cross-legged and reached out his hand to touch the golden shield surrounding him. Instantly, he felt a burning sensation on his skin, prompting him to retract his hand.

“So that’s why you weren’t answering when I connected earlier… I suppose I will have to wait until you are finished.”

Kyle looked around. There were a total of five raised circular structures, and all of them were occupied for now.

“Spiritual energy is stronger than all the other energies, so it’s good that Regius stumbled upon this place. Even I can use the raised structures.”

He glanced at the quiet people standing around him who were fighting earlier and clapped his hands.

“You all should clear out from this place because I am declaring it as my turf.”

The people around him erupted into angry shouts immediately.

“What do you mean you are claiming this as your territory!?”

“We risked our lives to reach this place!”

“How can you do this!? You think you’re tough so you can just take over!?”

“Don’t be so unfair!”

Kyle’s eyes turned cold.

“You all are going to fight each other to the death the moment even a single circular structure is emptied. So isn’t it better if you all leave? Moreover, haven’t you heard that the strong rule and the weaker obey? Don’t make me repeat myself; leave.”

They all gritted their teeth, some even wanted to attack, not caring that he might be much stronger than them. However, Kyle flicked his fingers, and in an instant, a massive portal appeared beneath them.

Cries erupted as they were all sucked into the portal, only to be thrown to a random place far from the rock formation.

Kyle rubbed the tip of his ear, a look of annoyance crossing his face.

“I absolutely despise loud people.”

He glanced over at the four other people on the raised circular structures like Regius, whispering an incantation. In an instant, the ground next to him trembled and rose, crafting a seat for him.

Kyle climbed onto the seat and sat cross-legged. He would wait until everyone seated on the raised structures opened their eyes since the golden shield around them was somewhat strong. Though he could have tried to break it, he opted not to.

While seated, he drew symbols in the air, crafting a complex array to hide the area with the structures completely from view of those wandering in the rock formation.

He casually retrieved some divine-rank treasures from his mind space and utilized them all to power the array.

After he finished, he shut his eyes and began to attune his senses and scent perception skill to the unusual pressure in the place. Since he couldn’t utilize them, he couldn’t detect what was powering the circular structures around him.

“It’s probably something powerful… and I think it should go into my mind space.”

He chuckled at his own words, unaware that a pair of eyes were fixed on him.

Those eyes belonged to a massive, formless figure with gleaming iridescent wings seated directly beneath the land where he was positioned. It was the same massive white creature that Asher had laid eyes on many years ago.

The celestial spirit, glowing gently and otherworldly, edged closer to the human, seemingly drawn to Kyle.

The pure spiritual energy encircling it quivered with delight upon sensing the essence within the human’s body.

However, before the spirit could even get close to Kyle, it sensed a threat directed towards itself and swiftly fled the area.

The threat didn’t originate from the essence within Kyle’s body or the dark mark Azazeal placed on him. Instead, the threat emerged from another celestial spirit that had been slumbering in the tomb for over a thousand years, awakening only upon sensing the essence within Kyle’s body.

They both wanted a part of the essence in the human’s body, so they were both silently fighting each other to stop the other from getting to the human.

Completely unaware, the moment they revealed themselves to the human, Azazeal would learn their whereabouts.

Kyle opened his eyes when one of the people seated on the circular structures opened his eyes with a joyful expression. It was a man from the lizard race, but before the man could jump with joy because he had finally learned to wield spiritual energy, his smile stiffened when he noticed the silver-haired human.

Kyle waved his hand, and a portal appeared before the lizard man, who abruptly ceased all movements upon seeing him.

“I believe you know what to do?”

The man nodded and immediately, without even needing to be asked twice, jumped into the

portal.

He had seen Kyle before and knew whom he could fight and whom he couldn’t!

Kyle blinked and scratched his chin.

“That was easy… for some reason.”
