Celestial Bloodline

Kyle raised his head as a familiar bell chimed throughout the ancient tomb.

He was inside a trial ground, with numerous symbols illuminating his surroundings. After obliterating the power source of the trial ground, he disappeared once again, only to reappear under the dark sky.

His gaze narrowed as he sensed Bia and Yue's presence moving quite a distance from the rock formation.

"What are they doing?"

He couldn't expand his scent perception skill or senses widely to avoid alerting the Celestial spirit as he planned to entice it out at the right moment, but he could detect Bia through their bond and Yue through the mark he placed on her.

He didn't dwell on it much; they were likely looking for him. Moreover, now that Bia and Yue had attained the transcendent rank, he was sure they could easily handle anything in the lost treasure tomb.

"The only danger they can't handle in the tomb are the supreme rank undeads. But running into one of them is very rare. So, I reckon there's no need to worry."

Kyle took a quick look at the undead that had emerged from the ground beneath him. Instantly, many symbols lit up the air as he zoomed in on the undead and smashed its entire skeletal form with a single punch.

All the symbols floating around him vanished into the ground, and the shattered remains of the undead scattered around. In a flash, he vanished in a different direction. After wandering throughout the entire night and inscribing symbols in various spots, he halted in front of a familiar statue.

It was the very first statue he had encountered upon entering the tomb but hadn't actually entered.

Kyle glanced at the a huge marble statue standing before him. It represented a male human, but the statue's eyes were peculiar, with two straight slits carved into its pupils. In the past, he didn't recognize which race this statue belonged to, but now he did.

"The blessed race..."

He mumbled under his breath as he remembered the two purple slits he had seen in Azazeal's eyes. It seems like the three creators of this tomb placed a statue representing every race in the universe here, whether they are extinct or not.

"They sure did a good job crafting this tomb to leave their marks in this universe, but it's a shame one of them got greedy, and that greed ruined the rest."

Kyle landed in front of the trial ground beside the statue and proceeded through the entrance leading inside. frёewebnoѵēl.com

He could have teleported straight to the treasure chamber, but he wanted to see if Azazeal had made the tests in this trial ground challenging or somewhat different. After all, the statue represented his race.

However, he was surprised because after entering the trial ground, he found himself in a chamber that contained nothing. The ground beneath him was desolate, and the walls around him were embellished with ancient inscriptions.

"Hmm..."

Kyle strolled through the chamber and quickly spotted a door in the distance. Upon entering the door, he encountered a group of demi-humans who seemed to have entered the trial ground ahead of him.

He glanced at the group and noticed some of them were attempting to interpret the inscriptions drawn on the walls.

However, he had already inspected and realized the inscriptions were merely there for aesthetic purposes.

That's why he proceeded directly to the solitary door in the chamber.

The demi-humans also noticed the silver-haired man, but when they saw him leave without paying any attention to them, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief. One of them whispered softly.

"Shouldn't we inform him that this trial ground is empty and holds nothing?"

The one standing behind hushed him.

"Hey, he's the nature's favorite. I believe we shouldn't meddle with him. Let him waste his time here, not our concern."

They all swiftly left the trial ground. They had already examined everything in this trial ground, and it contained nothing.

Kyle eventually made it to the end of the trial ground. Howeve, he discovered nothing remarkable, or should he say, nothing at all in the entire trial ground.

"That's odd. I thought the trial ground representing the blessed race would have something significant-!"

His words faded as his eyes caught a few sentences carved on the wall ahead. The sentences blended seamlessly among the numerous inscriptions on the walls, to the point that if he hadn't noticed them, he would have missed them entirely.

Kyle stepped towards the words, brushed off the dust, and squinted at them.

"There's nothing left of the blessed race to be preserved as a treasure, not even their bodies... except for the land they inhabited, the very ground you stand upon."

He blinked in surprise and gazed at the ground beneath his feet.

"Ah... I was wondering why Azazeal didn't entirely destroy this tomb even after getting betrayed by Lilith and Nathaniel in this very place. But why did he choose this land to create the lost treasure tomb? Did he want the land where his people lived to be remembered?"

Kyle took one final look at the words etched into the walls before he began to leave the trial ground. He already knew from the old tale Azazeal shared with him that the entire blessed race had been annihilated by other jealous races envious of their power.

"I truly want to sympathize with you, and maybe I would have in the past... but you and I have both come too far, and the things that happened between us are something we can never

change."

He shook his head as he stopped walking, and numerous symbols illuminated the air surrounding him. They swiftly dispersed in all directions before melding into the walls and the ground below. Kyle noticed that this trial ground lacked any power source.

"That's no surprise considering it had no test inside and was totally empty."

After the symbols disappeared, he vanished too. Kyle gazed up at the clear sky with a serene expression and started etching symbols all around once more.

He ventured into several trial grounds to deactivate their power sources and filled them with

his symbols.

He had to take a few breaks in between to recharge his divine and spiritual energy, but in a week, he completed the array he was putting in the entire treasure tomb.

Kyle landed on an elevated terrain and surveyed the undead roaming around him.

"Now, I just need to find three different locations and put many treasures in there. Those treasures would power up the array for a second, and that is enough. The array would automatically consume everything in this tomb which contained spiritual energy and divine energy to entirely activate."

He glanced northward, and his eyes crinkled with pure amusement.

"What on earth are they up to?"

Kyle couldn't resist a chuckle. He had been monitoring Bia and Yue's presence.

A few days ago, he happened to pass by them and noticed that Alec and everyone else were

also with the phoenix and the elven woman. For some reason, they were all wandering

together.

"Are they even looking for me?"

That was something he couldn't verify because they kept altering their course every few

hours, almost as if they were pursuing something.

Kyle rubbed his chin and started floating. His gaze narrowed towards a distant spot where he

could feel Bia and Yue's presence.

"Oh, they altered their course again. The way in which they are shifting places clearly

indicates they are pursuing something they can pinpoint..."

He disappeared from his spot and arrived above the familiar rock formation.

Kyle glanced at the two shattered statues and one intact statue surrounding the rock formation before entering it. He swiftly cleared out everyone from the formation and then

reached the center.

"This is a good spot..."

A few symbols lit up beneath his feet, drawing a small circle on the ground. He blinked, and a myriad of divine and spiritual treasures appeared above the circle.

"What a shame that I have to waste so many treasures... Nevertheless, they aren't particularly

useful to me right now."

He sighed and stepped back. The energy radiating from the countless treasures he retrieved from his mind space was powerful enough to shake the entire rock formation.

The abrupt surge of divine and spiritual energy in the air made even the people he had just

kicked out of the rock formation to stop in their tracks. They could easily feel the treasures nearby. However, their actions came to a halt when the treasures they sensed vanished into

thin air.

Kyle, who could sense their movements with his senses that covered the entire rock

formation, smirked.

"Do they really think they are strong enough to take something of mine?"

Shaking his head, he looked at the circle in front of him. It had encased the treasures and then

disappeared into the ground.

"Done. Now, I just have to locate two more prime spots, far apart from this one and each other. Then, I believe it will be time to attract the Celestial spirit."
