Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 623  He's still increasing his strength?

A little while back, in front of the platform, Kyle was seated. Asher, Yue, Jian, and the two beasts gazed at the scene unfolding before them in a daze.

After a cold aura emanated from Kyle's body, everything around him, including the chamber they were in, began to tremble. It started off okay, but then, under their gaze, faint blue particles surged out from Kyle's body before circling him to form an ice shield around his body.

Asher looked intently at the icy particles. He was curious about the strange power Kyle had within him, but before the half-dragon could figure it out, a strong burst of cold energy emerged from the silver-haired man's body and started freezing everything around him.

Asher jumped back as the ice covering the land tried to reach him.

A shiver ran down his spine, not because the ice posed a threat but due to the rapidly dropping temperature around him. In just a few seconds, the temperature inside the chamber plummeted enough to freeze everyone below the pseudo divine rank.

"Guys, let's get out of here. I don't think we should stay here when Kyle is unaware of his surroundings."

Jian closed the communication crystal in his hand after snapping out of his daze upon hearing the half-dragon's voice. Initially, he was contacting the others, but after finishing his conversation with Yon, he ceased and joined the rest in observing the silver-haired man. With a nod, he swiftly trailed behind Asher, but halted when Yue stopped them with a concerned look.

"What about Kyle?"

Asher exhaled a wisp of cold air and gazed at Yue with a wordless expression.

"Do you really think his own power would harm him? Watch closely, it's shielding him, and I'm certain it would eliminate anyone who dares to disrupt his breakthrough!"

He swiftly grabbed Nox and Bia, who were in the air observing Kyle, and dashed out of the room with Jian before the temperature plummeted further.

Yue glanced at Kyle's direction. His figure was obscured by the icy shield. She sighed and trailed after the others. The instant she exited the chamber, Asher hurriedly closed the gate leading inside to prevent the ice from spreading outside.

 'I'm certain that guy has something very powerful yet dangerous within him!"

Jian nodded.

"Me too!"

They moved back from the sealed gate as ice slowly but surely started seeping out from underneath. Asher let out a groan.

"He's going to freeze everything at this rate... It hasn't even been a few minutes since he sat above the platform!"

His words got cut off when a powerful transcendent rank aura suddenly burst out from inside the chamber, accompanied by a loud tremor that shook the entire structure they stood in. Jian's eyes immediately lit up with joy and a hint of relief.

"He broke through. Looks like we won't be freezing to death! Haha!"

He joked, but who would have guessed his jest would turn into a bad omen.

After his words dispersed in the air, ice exploded from all sides of the sealed gate in front of them and started freezing everything around them rapidly.

The transcendent rank aura emanating from the chamber started surging higher at a speed that left Asher stunned.

"He's still increasing his strength? But how? He just broke through! Can his body even handle that much power at once!?"

He was truly surprised.

Unaware that Kyle's physique and strength had already surpassed the transcendent rank, making him capable of enduring the advancement he was going through.

He once again tried to seize Bia and Nox, who should have been soaring around him to flee outside, away from the ice. But he was left dumbfounded as this time the two beasts were already far ahead, having left with Jian who bolted the moment he noticed the ice. Yue followed suit.

Asher stood speechless at the sight before swiftly following behind with a laugh.

'This is kinda fun... finally, I have friends after so many years! Haha!'

In the end, the trio exited the structure together and found themselves outside the same dark entrance they had used to enter the trial ground beside the broken statue.

Jian gazed at the clear, bright sky with a chuckle and sat down on the ground.

"Gosh... Don't tell me he's going to leap straight to the supreme rank! Look at the stir he's causing!"

Bia landed on his shoulder and looked at the entrance ahead of her.

-"Given his stats, I wouldn't even be surprised if he actually soared to the supreme rank."

Asher's expression turned curious when he heard Jian and Bia's words. He wanted to know more, so he scooted closer to the phoenix and the red-haired man. However, when he inquired about Kyle's stats, they both acted as if they had never even heard the word 'stats'. He nodded with a scoff.

"So, that's the game you're playing, huh? Fine, let me give you some bad news." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He let out a menacing chuckle.

"Reaching the supreme rank is not as simple as reaching the transcendent rank. If Kyle truly ascended to the supreme rank, his sudden surge in strength, capable of destroying a small planet, would obliterate everything around him, including the platform he's on!"

He was speaking the truth. In fact, he went through it himself when he was ascending to the supreme rank. He was sitting within a trial ground during his breakthrough, and ultimately found himself buried under the ceiling above him as everything around him disintegrated when he tapped into the pure essence of nature, capable of interfering with the laws of this universe.

But the fact that even after reaching the supreme rank he wasn't able to understand a single law of nature because they were too complex was something he would never disclose to anyone.

Asher brushed away the negative thoughts and glanced at Jian and Bia.

"That's means; if Kyle ascended to the transcendent rank, no one else could access the platform after him."

He expected them to be disheartened by the news that they wouldn't be able to use the platform, but they surprised him. Jian nodded confidently.

"Don't worry. Even without the platform, we have what it takes to reach the transcendent rank."

Bia glanced at Asher with a sneer.

-"I'm on the verge of a breakthrough due to the many powerful treasures Kyle fed me in the last few months. Whether I use the platform or not, I will naturally break through within a month."

Asher chuckled at their words, touching his nose, and then relaxed on the ground next to Jian. His gaze shifted from Bia to Jian and finally settled on the beautiful elven woman standing by the entrance of the structure, noticing a touch of concern on her face, which made him a bit jealous.

'That guy sure knows how to pick people who will never turn on him... Of course. I won't either. He's dangerous, and I'm sure it's better to stay on his good side rather than being an enemy.'
