Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 672: You are here for the fruit, right?



After the remnants of the crumbling building surrounding him were engulfed in darkness, Kyle's gaze finally locked with the white slit pupils gazing down at him. The eyes fixated on him held a blend of anger, caution, and amusement.

He cocked his head and rose from the seat he occupied as the darkness encroaching around him started to swallow it too.

"My name is Kyle. I would rather you stick with that instead of using something else. But yeah, you are right, it has been a while."

Golden energy burst forth in the surrounding darkness, and Kyle knew without even spreading his senses that the restrictions the dark side was setting around the building had taken effect.

He nonchalantly glanced at the darkness creeping toward him and then at Samara, who was floating above him.

"This little trick is quite dangerous, I must say. But how long do you think it can hold me, or should I ask, can it even hold me?"

Samara's eyes narrowed as she observed the absence of fear in the green eyes fixed on her, which held an eerie calmness.

Moreover, she noticed with a solemn expression that whenever the dark energy tried to reach Kyle, it was immediately pushed back by an unknown force.

Suddenly, recalling something important, she scanned Kyle's surroundings and extended her senses everywhere.

"Where are the others?"

She flinched in surprise as Kyle suddenly materialized right before her.

"So, you knew I wasn't the only one here?"

His voice, once serene, now exuded coldness. Kyle gazed at the woman who released a sinister laugh. He was sure she had picked up from his words that he had sent everyone else in the building away.

Samara retreated into the distance, and instantly, the dark energy surrounding them dissipated to reveal many transcendent and divine rank individuals from the dark side hovering all around, accompanied by two more supreme rank beings.

"So, it's just you now, huh? Well, we can easily find the others if we have you."

Kyle glanced at the supreme rank individuals first and noticed that they were from the human race. He then glanced at the powerful shield that had enveloped the area around everyone to seal it completely, so no one could leave.

"Just as I said, do you really think the barrier you set up can stop me? After all, it had miserably failed to prevent me from using my divine and spiritual energy."

He grabbed his spear, and spiritual energy began to surge around him.

Quietly, Kyle targeted one of the unsuspecting transcendent ranks flying behind the two supreme rank humans and aimed to vanish to kick off the battle by taking down an enemy. However, Samara said something unexpected to him.

"You know what I want from you, right? If you give me what I desire, I will make sure you don't meet a wretched end, and no one will bother looking for your friends."

Kyle chuckled.

"I was wondering why you didn't attack me after you saw me. You are here for the fruit, right? But what a pity, I had consumed it just a moment before you arrived."

Samara's eyes widened at his words.

"No way! I know you haven't consumed it yet! The branch of the Tree of Fate that bore the fruit still hadn't grown any leaves!"

Kyle vanished from his spot as his voice reverberated in all directions.

"Why don't you go check that branch now? I'm sure you would see some leaves on it." The two supreme-rank humans, who had been quietly observing everything from the sidelines all this time because they wanted to know why Samara suddenly offered to help them kill the nature's favorite and his friends, exchanged glances when they heard Kyle and Samara's conversation.

So, the fruit of fate that the first shadow general was desperately seeking a while ago was actually taken by the nature's favorite, and he had even consumed it?

With a nod, one of the supreme-rank humans vanished from his spot. Unlike the demons and dark race individuals dressed in dark and extravagant attires, he wore a rather casual outfit similar to the other supreme-rank human.

His form flickered between two positions before Kyle, who was on the brink of killing a transcendent rank demon, was forcefully hurled toward the ground.

The other supreme-rank human swiftly approached Samara. Her eyes were blazing with anger and anxiety as she frantically tried to activate her communication crystal to reach out to the demons on the elven planet and confirm Kyle's statement.

He snatched the crystal from her and gazed at her with solemn eyes.

"You must clarify everything. Did you deceive the first shadow general when you claimed that you had no clue about who took the fruit of fate? Are you aware of the consequences of lying to your superior?"

Samara glared at the human before her.

"Who the heck do you think you are to try and stop me? You darn human, you are just a lackey for the first shadow general! You can't even defeat me! Get lost!"

She took the crystal from him and shoved him away. However, she couldn't help but let out a scornful laugh when the demons she left on the elven planet didn't respond at all. The reason was clear; they feared she would kill them if they told her the fruit of fate had been consumed!

"Kyle, you bastard! I will shred you into pieces! How dare you consume what was rightfully mine!? I waited for that fruit for more than a hundred years!"

Samara instantly spotted the silver-haired man, tangled up in a battle-or should she say being chased by the other supreme rank human, but her fury escalated when she saw Kyle flaunting a cold smirk as if victory was already his. Not to mention, his expression oozed confidence, as if daring them to try and take him down.

She vanished behind Kyle as well and commanded everyone around her, even the supreme rank human whom she had shoved back earlier.

"What the heck are you all waiting for, just watching the show!? Finish him!"

Kyle, who was flying across the air inside the shield erected by the dark side, swiftly used instant teleportation when the hairs on his neck stood up.

As he vanished, his former position was abruptly torn apart into pieces.

He surveyed the shattered space in front of him and then glanced at the supreme-rank human from the dark side who had halted upon hearing Samara's angry words.

"Tsk... I'm certain you have mastered a law of nature after reaching the supreme rank, haven't you? The power to shatter space, I have never witnessed it before. It's surely not a skill. That's

quite irksome, though."

He knew he could shatter the space with his strength and weapons, and he had seen many others do the same. But what set the man before him apart was not the use of strength to break the space; Kyle sensed it clearly that the space shattered on its own.

The supreme rank human ignored Kyle and cast a glance at Samara before turning to his partner with a monotonic face.

They were here to follow the orders of the first shadow general, as their loyalty was with him. The moment the other supreme rank human locked eyes with him, he communicated via

telepathy.

'Let's deal with the nature's favorite first; that's our task. We can address Samara later. She deceived the first shadow general and will surely face the consequences.'

After receiving a nod from his partner, he turned towards Kyle, only to realize the human had

vanished once more

"His agility isn't exceptional, but his teleportation ability is annoying."

His eyes gleamed as he directed the space around him to pinpoint Kyle's location. The silver- haired human hadn't truly vanished; he knew Kyle was just using teleportation to move

continuously within the vicinity.

Kyle materialized in another spot using instant teleportation, but his eyes widened slightly when he found himself unable to teleport again as his body was suddenly engulfed by the surrounding space. He cursed as he sensed his body being thrown towards the ground, but quickly performed a backflip to regain balance mid-air.

The transcendent and divine rank beings from the dark side employed their powerful skills, spells, and even lunged at the silver-haired human with their weapons upon seeing him materialize before them. Their objective was to eliminate this man as soon as possible to claim the rewards promised by the first shadow general!

Kyle wanted to disappear but chuckled darkly when he saw the space around him begin to shift once more. He knew the supreme rank human could not impede his use of instant teleportation once more with the same tactic. Nonetheless, he wasn't in the mood to play

anymore.

Gripping his spear tightly, he utilized all his agility and even used his swift steps skill to double his speed to dodge the many attacks launched at him and attack the nearest demon ton/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

him.

"You first!"

However, this time his body was thrown back by none other than Samara. The woman's eyes were seething with rage as dark energy erupted around her. But Kyle tilted his head, and blue flames spread out of his body to consume the darkness.

"Dark energy can't harm me. Also, it's truly a pity you haven't learned even a single law of nature when you have already reached the pinnacle of the supreme rank. That means you can

never advance."
