Celestial Bloodline

Just like a gentle breeze, tquickly passed as Yue trained under Glacia on PlLuminara beneath the Tree of Fate, day and night without much rest.

Similarly, Alec, Carcel, and the others immersed themselves in intense training within the Sacred Divine Land.

They also explored ancient tombs, searching for treasures, all to prepare for the upcoming Gladiator Arena.

Alec and his group always stayed together and trained in Zron's sight because of the dangers on the land, while Sinon made sure to leave their names on the gates of the ancient tombs they discovered. So... if Kyle and the others they are searching for ever cacross these tombs later, they would know Alec's group had been there.

That was also the reason their names becfamous in the Sacred Divine Land as the ones who were looting the ancient tombs and vanishing after leaving their names before anyone could see them.

Simultaneously, Nine discovered that he had arrived on a plruled solely by a few ancient tribes of a lizard race. It turned out to be a stroke of luck as one of these tribes was also getting ready to go to the Sacred Divine Land for the Gladiator Arena. Despite the initial unfriendliness of the lizard race towards him due to his sudden appearance, Nine managed to forge new friendships effortlessly due to his personality.

In the end, he even started training alongside the lizard race members who were getting ready for the Gladiator Arena, under the guidance of an elder of their race who was over two hundred years old and had attained the initial stage of the suprrank.

Just like that, a year passed, and then another, with only six months left for the Gladiator Arena gates to open up for the whole universe on a distant, medium-sized plthat was once beautiful and teeming with life. However, the ongoing war for the past fifty years between the Nightkin race and the human race had transformed that lively plinto a battlefield scattered with ruins and graveyards.

In the midst of the very ruins, a loud battle cry erupted as a handstranscendent rank human with pale hazel eyes, dressed in grey armor, clashed against a transcendent rank individual from the Nightkin race in the sky to prevent him from interfering in the battle happening on the land.

The human let out a groan and spun the white spear, bathed in blood, in his hand to push his enemy with such force that the latter was thrust back mid-air.

His hand holding the spear trembled as he calmed his breathing and glared at the man with crimson eyes and a pair of horns atop his head across from him, who balanced himself mid-air and licked the blood away from his ghostly pale hand.

After the man from the Nightkin race balanced himself mid-air, he sneered at the human opposite him with a wicked smile, as if mocking the human's struggle to save his plthat is already in ruins.

"Just admit defeat; you know you can never win. Why the struggle then, huh? Trust me, if even one of the shadow generals arrived here right now, victory would be ours-!"

His words abruptly halted when he sensed a presence behind him. In an instant, his figure turned into a mirage, and he disappeared from his spot.

The moment he disappeared, a metallic chain engulfed in red flames encircled the vacant space like a snake. The chain moved in the empty space and after a second went back to its owner.

The Nightkin race individual stared at the chain's owner with intense hatred, as if the latter had taken all his money. On the other hand, the human's hazel eyes brightened up as he caught sight of the chain's owner.

"Jian! Finally, you are done with your opponent. Now, helpa little; I want to get rid of this bastard!"

Jian chuckled, his shoulder-length red hair was flowing in the air as he wrapped the metallic chain around his arm and gazed at the human before turning his attention to the transcendent-

rank individual from the Nightkin race who was glaring at him.

"Don't worry, Xavier. I may be weaker, but I'm always a good support, right?"

Xavier laughed at his words, well aware of how valuable Jian could be as a support. It had been this way since the red-haired human arrived on his planet.

He lifted his spear that glistened under the sunlight filtering through the dark and red clouds and signaled for Jian to get ready before launching another attack on the Nightkin race individual.

Their battle continued, with Jian using his skills to assist Xavier in mid-air. However, after a minute, a loud cry pierced the air.

Jian's eyes lit up upon hearing the voice. He whipped his head back to see the massive phoenix engulfed in golden flames that had just arrived to join the battlefield alongside a horde of flying and land monsters.

"Bia is also back! Now victory is ours!"

Xavier's eyes widened slightly. No matter how many times he saw the divine phoenix controlling thousands of monsters to fight alongside her, he could never grow accustomed to it.

It was truly amazing.

He knew Bia had just recently reached the divine rank, but even before that, she could handle many divine beings thanks to the golden symbols engraved on her wings. Those symbols always repelled all the divine pressure directed towards her.

Xavier wondered who had engraved those incredible symbols on the phoenix's body. He really wanted to meet that person and request them to engrave similar symbols on his body. Still, it was a matter for later. He smirked because, just like Jian said, victory was now theirs. He could see no shadow general had arrived on the planet, and from the circumstances, they weren't going to ceither.

It seems the war that had been going on for so many years on his plis finally going to end after so much struggle.
