Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 720: I am here for a target



A while back, Kyle stepped out of the teleportation portal alongside the phoenix, who transformed into her smaller form and landed on his shoulder. There wasn't even a single wrinkle on his clothes, although he had just slain many demons. Naturally, he eliminated every demon inside the domain after acquiring the coordinates of the planet where Onicuss was present.

His eyes scanned the dark space before him, revealing nothing but distant stars. In the end, his gaze paused on a man floating in the distance, drawing symbols in the air to break something invisible.

"Hmm?"

As if sensing Kyle's presence, the dark-haired man in the distance halted his actions and quickly turned with a defensive posture. But his eyes widened when they met the green eyes gazing at him.

"You?"

Kyle tilted his head when he saw the man's face. He looked to be in his thirties and, for some reason, seemed familiar.

'Do I know him?'

He asked Bia, since he couldn't recall. Bia narrowed her gaze, and after a second, she blinked with a surprised look.

-'It's that person! The one we saw in the Tower of Opportunity. What was his name again? Right, James!'

"Oh..."

Kyle halted the attack he was about to unleash upon realizing that the man before him wasn't from the dark side. However, he didn't lower his guard since he sensed that the latter was quite powerful.

James examined him from head to toe; aside from the hair, Kyle was exactly as he had seen when the part of his soul that he left on the blue planet returned to him.

He stopped what he was doing and disappeared to talk with Kyle, but when he reappeared, he froze as he realized that the moment he used teleportation, Kyle also stepped into a teleportation portal.

James glanced back, and his eyebrow twitched when he saw Kyle flying in his previous position with an amused gaze.

"What the..."

He hurriedly approached the human, and Kyle acknowledged him with a nod before silencing him with a gesture.

"I don't have time for conversation. I need to get to my prey before it slips away."

Bia nodded at his words. Given the chaos they had caused on the demon planet, she was sure

the dark side was already aware that they were looking for Onicuss, and it was likely that many powerful individuals were already on their way to find them.

So, they really didn't have much time.

Under James's solemn gaze, Kyle turned toward the spot where the man had been trying to break something earlier.

He spread his senses to assess what lay before him, and his eyes narrowed when he detected a peculiar type of barrier ahead. It was quite strong, yet the way it was crafted suggested that the individual who created the barrier intended for others to breach it, as Kyle easily discovered a weak point.

James retreated as a layer of spiritual energy began to gather around Kyle.

He observed with a calm demeanor just how much the young man had advanced. Yet, he couldn't shake his curiosity about whom Kyle referred to as prey.

'Is he also here for Onicuss? But why?'

His eyes flickered with disbelief when suddenly Kyle grabbed something in the air with his hands, and a loud tearing sound echoed as he stretched it apart.

Then, the invisible curtain before them vanished into nothingness, finally revealing a massive planet cloaked in darkness that loomed before their eyes.

James sucked in a deep breath.

"Did he just destroy a powerful barrier with his bare hands...?"

But suddenly, a chill ran down his spine as he sensed numerous powerful dark attacks heading straight for Kyle's location.

"Be careful-!"

He rushed to protect him, but it was too late; countless dark beams of light surged from the planet and enveloped Kyle's body. Bia gasped in shock as the dark beams forcefully began to ensnare Kyle.

- "What's happening?? An attack?"

For some reason, the dark energy only trapped Kyle while the phoenix was thrown aside. James's eyes dilated as he sensed what the dark energy was doing.

"Oh no! It's an attack aimed at his soul!"

His gaze turned cold as he quickly used his spiritual energy to destroy the dark energy wrapping around Kyle to help him. He was not sure why, but he had a hunch that this attack was somehow meant for him!

'Don't tell me Onicuss already knew I would come here? That bastard!'

His eyes glowed white, but just as he was about to tap into a natural law to control everything in his surroundings, time around him suddenly came to a halt. Then it started to reverse, and everything began to flow backward with its currents.

"This..."

Kyle's figure emerged as the darkness enveloping him transformed back into dark beams, retreating to their origin.

His eyes were icy as he brushed off his clothes and fixed his gaze on the spot where the attack

had withdrawn.

"I said I don't have time."

His words had just escaped his lips when time around him regained its momentum. Once again, the same attack surged toward Kyle, but this time he was ready.

He raised his fist, and a tremendous amount of spiritual energy erupted from his body as he charged straight at the beams of dark light coming at him, obliterating them into a shower of

sparks.

James's lips parted in shock, but he hurriedly regained his composure. It was nothing; he could also somewhat control the flow of time. However, as he glanced at Kyle, he let out a dry

chuckle.

'Who am I kidding? If I were in his place, I would have already lost at least half of my soul. Controlling the natural law of time requires a lot of mental strength. It is the most dangerous

natural law.'

'But I had no idea Kyle had made so much progress... it's almost unbelievable.'

Bia hurried toward Kyle as he advanced toward the planet ahead, and James quickly trailed

behind them.

As they crossed the planet's boundary, they wrinkled their noses at the air, which wasn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

saturated with dark energy.

There wasn't even a hint of light.

Kyle halted in mid-air as numerous individuals from the Dark race and Nightkin race began to encircle him. Some of them were the ones who had activated the traps meant to eliminate James the moment he destroyed the barrier around the planet.

The twin divine-rank demons, who were their leaders, had vanished from the area after the plan fell apart. The only order the twins left behind was to overwhelm the two humans with numbers and end them.

Ultimately, anyone who succeeded in this challenging task would be generously rewarded by the shadow general.

However, instead of worrying about the growing number of enemies surrounding him, Kyle

glanced back at James.

"I believe I mentioned that I'm here for a target-it's Onicuss. So, don't interfere because I'm going to take him down."

James arched an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. He had suspected as much, but now Kyle's words solidified his suspicions. The young man had a troubled past with the fifth

shadow general.

"You can do whatever you want with him. But you can't take on an entire planet filled with thousands of enemies by yourself."

He cracked his knuckles, and an overwhelming aura surged from his body, causing everyone from the dark side in the vicinity to lose their balance and collapse to the ground with

panicked cries.

"So, I will deal with the minions. Consider this a gift from someone who hails from the same

planet as you."

James spread his senses and let out a sneer before glancing at Kyle.

"That cunning bastard is escaping. What are you waiting for? Go finish your prey, and if you can't, I will. After all, I was originally here to take him down."

Kyle nodded his head. James's personality wasn't bad for someone currently leading the fight

against the dark side.

The man was also powerful... and the best part was that he didn't question Kyle's strength; he

didn't seem to doubt how Kyle could defeat a shadow general.

"No, I will handle Onicuss."

He formed a portal, but then suddenly his lips curled into a smirk as he remembered

something and glanced at James.

"You can handle the rest. But feel free to ask for help if it gets too difficult."

Bai's eyes also twinkled with mirth.

-"Yes! You can ask for help!"

Before James could comprehend what the two meant, Kyle and Bai both entered the portal

and vanished from his sight.

James manipulated the space around him with a confused expression and started to eliminate everyone around him.

He could easily handle everyone on this planet. Onicuss would be a bit of a problem, but since there was only one other supreme rank on this planet, he was sure he could defeat him as well

with a little effort.

In truth, Onicuss always ran away from battle whenever he was on the verge of defeat, which was why James hadn't been able to eliminate him all this time.

"The fifth shadow general is the weakest. If he hadn't run away with the assistance of the other shadow generals last time, he would have already died at my hands."

He shook his head and focused his attention on the enemies around him, who began to flee

after witnessing his strength. He also kept his senses extended to keep an eye on Kyle and Onicuss. Suddenly, his expression stiffened as he looked up.

A massive crack appeared in the sky, and when Damien stepped out of the crack with a furious

expression, he finally understood why Kyle and Bia had advised him to seek their help if

things became difficult.

"What the hell did those two do!? I can't fight Damien alone! He's stronger than me!"

He let out a dry laugh.

"Why do I feel like... I'm done for?"
