Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 654: If it\'s him, anything\'s possible

Nine glanced at the clear sky above them and let out a frustrated groan.

"Now what?"

Alec furrowed his brows as he eyed the group of people floating around him. They hadn\'t stumbled upon any hint about the lost treasure tomb\'s exit, and to add to the trouble, the leader of the dark side was about to step into the tomb soon.

\'Even the system has gone to slumber! It could\'ve thrown me a hint if it was active!\'

He thought hard for a minute and then suddenly he remembered what Nine and the rest had told him.

"Hold on... is not Azazeal coming here to get something from Kyle? Something that Kyle needs to locate for him. Doesn\'t that imply... What Azazeal desires is inside the tomb, and Kyle has somehow discovered its whereabouts in the tomb?"

Asher\'s brow creased at his statement.

"I believe this tomb does not contain an item of such immense power that Azazeal, the person who has achieved ultimate strength in this universe, requires..."

The half-dragon has been living in the tomb for a century. He couldn\'t understand what Azazeal might seek from here.

"Azazeal is undeniably connected to this ancient tomb. It\'s where his companions betrayed him. I fear that instead of looking for an item, that man would destroy everything if he came back here!"

The expressions on the faces of those around him grew even graver. The tomb was about to explode soon, and Azazeal was going to enter the tomb... Aren\'t these two events happening too coincidentally at the same time? The conclusion they reached from all this was that Azazeal would detonate this tomb!

Unaware that the real culprit was none other than the silver-haired man.

Suddenly, Nox, who was getting overwhelmed by all the information, spoke up with a confused expression.

"The thing I don\'t understand is if this tomb is where Azazeal was betrayed, why didn\'t he destroy this place sooner? I\'m sure he didn\'t leave it to cherish the memory..."

His words caught everyone\'s attention. A sudden realization dawned on Nine.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Nox is spot on... Why would Azazeal spare this place if his intention was to destroy it? Could it be that Azazeal isn\'t the one who would destroy the tomb but..."

Everyone instantly caught on to what he was implying. However, they shook their heads. They knew Kyle was powerful, but they were certain he wasn\'t strong enough to destroy such a massive tomb... but then they suddenly recalled what Kyle did in the Gladiator Arena, and their eyes widened with shock and disbelief.

If the silver-haired man can do what he did in the Gladiator Arena with his knowledge of arrays alone... he could obliterate this tomb with a colossal array too!

Asher, who didn\'t witness what went down in the Gladiator Arena and had no clue what was going on in the heads of those around him, shook his head at Nine\'s words.

"No, I admit Kyle\'s powerful, but he hadn\'t achieved such a level of strength yet. He just hit the final stage of the transcendent rank. He\'s not even supreme rank-!"

The rest of his words trailed off as he noticed the sweaty and grave faces of those around him. His mouth fell open. No way, they have to be kidding with him!

"That\'s impossible. Kyle can\'t destroy this tomb by himself with his strength. Even I cannot do that!"

Carcel gripped his shoulder and peered at his face with a solemn expression.

"We\'re talking about Kyle here... if it\'s him, anything\'s possible."

Jian nodded in agreement.

"You\'re right, if it\'s Kyle, even if he made an error, his luck stat is so high that it would ensure he achieves his goal... that\'s why he chose the title of nature\'s favorite!"

There was silence for a few seconds. Then Yue proposed that they should split up and locate the silver-haired man to prevent him from carrying out his plans.

They had asked Bia if she could sense Kyle\'s whereabouts, only to find out that the man had hidden his presence completely, making it impossible even for the phoenix to detect him at the moment.

Regius shook his head at Yue\'s proposal.

"No, let\'s not go searching for Kyle. Let\'s focus on finding the item Azazeal is after. Once we found that, we will reach Kyle automatically!"

Nearly everyone agreed to his words, but the main problem was they didn\'t know what item Azazeal was after!

Nine let out a sigh and slowly rubbed his throbbing temples.

"We have no idea where to begin... but what I am certain is that Kyle wouldn\'t detonate this tomb without ensuring our safety. He\'s definitely planning to forcefully send us out from this tomb or perhaps, similar to what he did in the Gladiator Arena, he\'s planning to set up a massive array here and enclose everyone in the tomb within a barrier or shield to keep them safe..."

Yue let out a melancholic smile.

"He always does that. He never opens up about his troubles and always confronts danger alone... This time, no matter what he says, I won\'t forgive him easily!"

Lara and Mia comforted her when they noticed her tight grip on her robe. To lighten up the mood, Sinon, Regius, Jian, and Nine mentioned they would all team up against Kyle this time to teach him a lesson for all the headache he was causing them. The others immediately agreed with them.

While everyone was talking, Alec once again reviewed the map the system had generated for him before going to slumber.

He noticed the last notifications he had received from the system.

"Avoid those spots...? Celestial spirits..."

His words successfully grabbed everyone\'s attention, and instantly they all looked at him. Hoping the blue-haired man would lead them out of their dilemma.

After all, the title Celestial itself was something of immense power.

Alec\'s eyes narrowed in thought, then he glanced at those around him with a smile that didn\'t reach his eyes.

"Guys, I am not a hundred percent sure, but there is something powerful in this ancient tomb that Azazeal could be after. If I\'m right, we might find Kyle there."

He paused for a second.

"The artifact I had detected two powerful Celestial spirits in this tomb a while back. These spirits are very potent, so they are the only things right now that I believe could grab

Azazeal\'s attention..."

Asher gripped his sword. His expression deadpan as he glanced at Alec with a similar smile. It was evident that the silver-haired man was in trouble.

"We shouldn\'t waste time. It doesn\'t matter if you are right or not. What matters is we need to check on those spirits! No matter how powerful the two spirits are, I believe we all together

can handle them!"

Alec and the others nodded in agreement. Right away, they armed themselves, and once Alec identified the precise location of one of the spirits, they all got ready to head towards that spot. However, at that moment, Yon gestured towards the burly human who had been eavesdropping on their conversation from afar.

"What about him? I don\'t think we should treat him like thin air."

Nine looked at Elijah. The man truly had the skill to stay invisible even in a crowd. If Yon hadn\'t pointed at him, everyone would have likely overlooked him.

"Let him come along. He knows almost everything at this point. It\'s probably better if he

sticks with us."

No one had any problem with one more person coming with them. After all, the more people, the better. However, Alec still asked Elijah out of courtesy.

"You do realize who we are up against... So, are you certain you want to accompany us? If

you\'re not keen on it, there\'s no pressure."

Elijah quickly shook his head.

"I want to come along! I know you all are going to face a formidable foe, and there\'s a chance

we might not make it. But I believe that by sticking with all of you, I will have a better chance

at survival..."

Asher patted his shoulder.

"Human, you have a good head on your shoulders. I didn\'t expect that."

Elijah wasn\'t sure if it was a compliment or not, but he nodded in response, and they all

started traveling toward the location of one of the Celestial spirits.

Bia and Nox shifted into their colossal forms and soared across the sky to trail the group. The two beats aimed to be prepared for any challenge. As they all moved in unison in one direction, anyone who caught sight of them was alerted. But besides a few transcendent rank individuals, no one else could keep up because the group\'s speed was exceptionally swift. When the group was halfway their destination, a familiar bell chimed through the entire tomb, signaling the end of the peaceful day and the start of another challenging night.
