Celestial Bloodline - Chapter 660: I can't stay here for long I

Alec and the rest around Jian shared the same sentiment as him. However, what could they possibly do when their bodies were dissipating into particles?

Nine quickly used his spiritual energy to resist the warm energy around him. He swiftly grabbed a nearby boulder and snapped his head toward Alec.

“How long until the tomb explodes?”

His question heightened the urgency with which the others around him were battling the warm energy enveloping their bodies. Alec quickly checked the system panel.

“Just barely over four minutes!”

Bia cried out loudly at his words, and golden flames burst from her entire body, yet even then, she couldn’t halt her body from dispersing into particles.

Azazeal, who previously stood before them, had disappeared, leaving uncertainty about what the man was doing with Kyle.

-“Just stay alive, you jerk!”

Bia closed her eyes and began gathering all her divine energy around her body to dispel the layer of warm energy surrounding her. At that moment, Asher retrieved something from his mind space and let out a sigh.

“I really didn’t wanna use this… but it would be a shame if Kyle died. He can accomplish so much, and he’s even the first friend I made after so many years-!”

His words were cut off when Nine, with lightning-fast speed, snatched the round artifact resting on his palm

“Huh???”

The brown-haired man frantically started examining the artifact.

“How do we use this thing? Quick! We are running out of time!”

Asher was dumbfounded. The guy didn’t even know how to use the artifact, and the fact that it was a one-time-use artifact that would obliterate every form of energy around them within a second.

If the half-dragon began explaining how to use the artifact, he was certain the tomb would explode before he even finished!

“Give it back to me! We don’t have time and only one person can use it!”

Before Asher could grab the artifact from Nine’s hand, Jian snatched it away, and for some reason, it activated the moment the red-haired man grabbed the artifact.

“What…?”

Jian blinked as the round artifact in his hands burst into energy and shredded the warm aura around his body. Instantly, his body, which was dissolving into particles, came to a halt, and he experienced a sharp jolt of pain as all the particles that had drifted off his body merged back into his body, completing his fading form.

He was shocked and wanted to know how the heck he just touched the artifact and it activated on its own. But when he saw the expressions of Asher and the others, he knew they all wanted to know that too!

“Fuck…”

Nine cursed under his breath. He tried pressing the artifact from all angles, but it remained inactive. Yet, Jian simply touched it, and it sprang to life?

“Don’t tell me it’s because of your luck stat that’s always wants you six feet under…?”

Nine murmured, and eventually, everyone around him understood why the artifact activated when it was in Jian’s hands!

Jian chuckled and started to float. Finally, his tremendous bad luck was of some use! The heavy pressure on their bodies had lifted after Azazeal vanished.

“Well, I guess I wil be dying alongside Kyle! Farewell, my friends!”

He waved at the others, who were doing their darnedest to keep their bodies from dissipating into particles entirely but were failing miserably, and they all cursed at the proud red-haired

man.

Jian gave them one last look and quickly disappeared towards the direction where they heard the crashing noises earlier. Sinon yelled out in frustration.

“Why Jian!? Anyone else would do, but Jian!? He’s just going to make things worse with his personality alone! No, he’s going to lower Kyle’s chances of survival-!”

His words were cut off as his body burst into particles entirely, only to be consumed by the massive portal above. Following him, everyone else also followed suit.

Eventually, Alec, Carcle, and Asher were the last ones left, still struggling against the warm energy surrounding them.

However, after a few moments, even their bodies entirely transformed into particles and vanished into the portal.

…..

Jian’s face was solemn as he extended his senses in all directions as far as he could and raced towards the location where he had heard the crashing sounds earlier, continuously calling out

Kyle’s name.

He was sure that only a minute or so remained before the tomb would explode! He needed to locate Kyle and pull him into the enormous portal in the sky with him!

Jian paused in mid-air when he spotted a familiar man’s back in the distance, but he was certain from the dark hair that it wasn’t Kyle. It was Azazeal!

His heart sank when he didn’t notice Kyle anywhere and thought the man was dead. Instantly, pure anger flashed in his red eyes as he charged straight toward Azazeal.

No matter how strong the man was, he wanted to avenge his friend! But before he could even get close to Azazeal, the space before him suddenly began to tremble and crack, causing him

to pause.

Jian noticed with a racing heart that it wasn’t a portal that was forming before him; the space in front of him itself was cracking open as if something or someone was tearing it apart with

bare hands.

The process was eerily similar to how Azazeal arrived in the tomb.

He jolted back in mid-air when a person clad in a luxurious outfit stepped out from the crack. Jian’s eyes dilated when he saw the facial features of the man who had emerged from the crack. The familiar red hair and red eyes… it was he himself!

“!”

Immediately, his mind went blank because he couldn’t process the unbelievable sight he was witnessing!

At the same time, the red-haired man floating before him, who was eerily similar looking to him but much more muscular and taller, raised his fist in the sky with a triumphant

expression.

“Finally, I did it! And that jerk Kyle believed he was the only one capable of mastering the natural laws of time and space!”

The man cackled with glee but then coughed out blood. Immediately, crimson liquid seeped from his ears, nose, and every pore of his skin.

“Darn it! I definitely can’t stay here for too long, or the nature’s going to kill me for messing with the universe’s balance and traveling through a time layer!”
