Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1723 Looking for the Source

　　Kentucky pretty much couldn't hold himself back and wanted to change into his Minokawa form right there and then. However, he was still inside the Formation Guild, so he didn't exactly fit there with his cultivation. He quickly headed out of the building and looked in a certain direction, thinking, 'Whatever it is, it's there. I'm sure about it!'

　　Kentucky then moved to a more open space and changed back into his Minokawa form. After that, he flapped his wings and shot to the skies, swiftly heading to the north of Astonkay Country. With his real speed, Kentucky was even faster than most Void Tempering Realm beings. Well, that was considering the average level of this side of the Realm of Gods, not the center.

　　At first, the area Kentucky was in had a few trees and huge plains. However, the further he went north of Astonkay Country, the colder the environment became. It didn't take long for Kentucky to cover several thousands of kilometers and for snow to start falling.

　　However... 'The only cold thing is the environment. As for me, I'm feeling hotter and hotter. My bloodline is simply raging inside my body.'

　　Eventually, Kentucky arrived at what seemed to be a mountain range. Obviously, everything there was covered in snow, and nothing looked out of the norm. A few demon beasts that lived in the area could be seen in Kentucky's Divine Sense, but that was all. 'Where is it?' Kentucky thought.

　　Kentucky then landed on top of one of the mountains around and took his time observing the place. At first, the feeling in his bloodline told him the direction. However, now that he had arrived, the feeling was still there, but he couldn't tell from what it was coming anymore. Well, to be more specific, it was everywhere around him.

　　Kentucky closed his eyes and concentrated even more. His Divine Sense couldn't pick up anything, let alone his Soul Power Scan. First of all, the Jhiod Sect already came to check the Astonkay Country in the past, so there was no way they wouldn't have used these methods already. 

　　Kentucky tried to calm his bloodline as much as possible as he stayed there. Other than a few demon beasts appearing every now and then, the only thing happening was the snow falling. The demon beasts, obviously, could feel Kentucky's aura and instinctively got away from him. With that, Kentucky spent an entire day like a statue.

　　He had a plan, though. He was trying to get used to the feeling of his excited bloodline and get it under control. For some reason, he felt that if he fought Rean or Roan right now, he definitely wouldn't lose. That's how much it was affecting his body.

　　It wasn't until two days later that Kentucky's heart rate returned somewhat back to normal as his bloodline got used to the feeling. 

　　Suddenly, Kentucky's eyes opened before looking in a certain direction. To be more specific, Kentucky was looking at another mountain not far away from there. 'Found you!'

　　He quickly flapped his wings once more and disappeared from the location he was at the moment. The mountain in Kentucky's eyes wasn't different from the others. Fully covered in snow and a few tracks of demon beasts who had passed by before. If anything, this mountain was quite small compared to the others around. There were still three more demon beasts in that mountain area, but they quickly scattered after feeling Kentucky's Divine Bloodline aura.

　　Kentucky didn't waste time and... shot up to the skies. Yes, his target was not on the mountain itself. Instead, it was far, far high up in the skies. So high that the barrier that separated the Realm of Gods from the Sea of Stars was also close by. One must know that this specific barrier was present on all continents, and it was also the reason why one couldn't see the stars from the Realm of Gods. Of course, there were a few exceptions, like the Lost Star Realm.

　　However, Kentucky wasn't interested in the barrier. Instead, his eyes were fixed in a single direction as he kept flying higher and higher. Little by little, the barrier began to apply pressure on Kentucky's body, forcing him down. It obviously made the ascension even harder.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠelꜰɪre.nᴇt

　　Kentucky didn't give up, though. First, he tried to fly with the power of his wings alone as far as he could. Once that wasn't enough anymore, he imbued his Divine Energy on his wings, which increased the strength of his wings even more.

　　Yet, not even both of them were enough for Kentucky to reach the height. In the end, he gathered the power of Light and Dark Element as his body released black and white flames. Kentucky was really going all out now. If he failed to reach his destination with that, he would be forced to come down and think about another option.

　　Just as Kentucky was about to reach his limit, his eyes finally caught the presence of what seemed to be a floating island in the skies. 'No wonder even the Jhiod Sect hadn't found it. That thing doesn't appear inside one's Divine Sense or Soul Power Scan. It's also covered by the Realm of Gods' barrier, making it impossible to be seen from below. If not for the feeling in my bloodline, I would have never found that place.

　　Unfortunately, Kentucky's eyes were too good. It meant that he could see things from very long distances. The barrier definitely made things worse, forcing Kentucky to get a lot closer to see that floating island. However, even though he got closer, it was still several kilometers higher, and he had really reached his limit already.

　　After some time, Kentucky's bones started to crack while a rare sight of sweat could be seen covering his feathers. 'Fuck!'

　　In the end, Kentucky was forced to give up and come down from the skies. If he insisted any further, his body truly wouldn't resist anymore, and that was already considering his ridiculously high defense.

　　Yet, before he could come down, something happened.
