Chapter 355: Leisurely Pace
The Feng family youths traded a brief glance before quickly coming to a decision. They felt they may even benefit from slightly helping a Divine Mortal.
One of the youths walked out in front, cupping his fists in respect as he said, “Sixth Princess, there is a 3rdfall Dao Beast blocking this way. Our prowess isn’t so great we can jump up minor boundaries. But above that, this beast has a strange amount of strength. My Divine Senses tells me this beast is at least upper-tiers of 3rdfall prowess.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Kali had her interest slightly piqued.
She took one step forward before flicking out of the Feng family youth’s sights.
‘So fast…’ All the Feng family youths saw was a faint blue flash. The next moment, a chilling sensation that caused goosebumps all over their arms appeared right behind them.
At the same time, Kali’s melodic voice yet ice-cold tone spoke out. “You two can stay or leave. But know this, I’m not as gracious as my brother.”
The Feng family youths pause for a moment.
Kali’s words made them recall several rumors of how the seventh prince is genuinely far more magnanimous than the other royal descendants.
They merely heard from words of mouths of neighboring Holy Intelligence network. But it was enough for them to clearly know that the seventh prince would be willing to form a team.
While someone like the sixth princess would most likely kill them off if they annoy her.
Understanding this, the same Feng family youth hurriedly spoke again, “Then, we wish you luck, sixth princess.”
Both youths quickly took the skies after that. A slight sense of discontent arises within them. But they promptly squashed it as they sailed into the crystal skies.
Kali didn’t even turn back to look at them. Her focus stayed centered on a Dao Vicious Beast merely hundreds of meters away.
The Dao Vicious Beast was a large, snow-white wolf.
The snow-white wolf stayed guarded in front of a podium, menacingly barring its terrifyingly sharp and long razor teeth. A faint white glow engulfed the beast’s skin as if the essence within its body couldn’t contain itself. The same white glow could also be seen within its eyes.
The beast’s Divine aura certainly wasn’t weak. Its pressure could even trouble a group of Middle-tier 3rdfall experts, much less middle-tier 2ndfall experts.
To Kali, however, such pressure felt as light as a gentle breeze.
Kali’s lips curled into a merciless smirk. She stimulated her Soul’s Core, unleashing her Soul Form and Draconic Ice aura.
Simultaneously, she had also fished out a Master Grade True Spirit Swords from her spatial ring.
Kali’s prowess instantly reached its peak.
Her aura surged, releasing a massive discharge of airwaves that pressured the surroundings for hundreds of meters!
The snow wolf froze as an immense sense of crisis exploded within its Spiritual Sea.
The beast barely had any time to react before a tremendous pressure hitched its breathing.
In that moment, Kali’s feet sparkled a gleaming Icy glow as she revolved Ice Law Marks in there. Then, Kali slightly bent her knees before springing forwards in a massive burst of speed!
Her body flashed in a blue light trail, reaching the snow-white wolf near instantaneously.
At the last split second, the snow wolf snapped its jaws open and unleashed a horrific cry. Its prowess burst open all at once. From this, a powerful airwave gushed right out of its mouth.
The airwave prowess was immense. Nothing that any Middle-Tier 3rdfall expert can treat lightly.
Kali, however, continued forward without a change in expression. She quickly thrust her True Spirit Sword out, meeting the airwave head-on.
Without any suspense, the True Spirit Sword sliced right through the airwave, vaporizing it into tiny air particles.
At the same time Kali thrust her True Spirit Sword, an Icy blue light shot out from the tip.
The Icy Law essence tore right into the snow-white wolf’s huge skull, breaking apart its defenses like fragile paper.
No gruesome blood spurted out, however.
The Icy Law essence instantly froze the interior snow-white wolf’s skull.
The beast had stiffened, its life aura draining away at light speeds.
Kali appeared right next to the beast a mere moment later, casually swinging her True Spirit Sword and cleanly slicing the snow-white wolf’s head from its body.
Two loud thuds reverberated as the wolf’s beheaded head and body corpse crashed to the ground at the same time.
The battle couldn’t even last for a moment. Kali had already moved past her battle mood when killing the beast.
As she recalled her powers, Kali took one glance at the podium containing a cosmo sack before settling her gaze on the back walls.
There was only one large painting inscribed on the wall that stretched on for several feet.
Painting or any kind of art usually doesn’t capture Kali’s interest. Not even if they were created by the fantastical effect of Spirit energy. It simply didn’t suit her taste.
But as she stared into this specific painting, Kali honestly couldn’t take her eyes away from it.
The most peculiar aspect was how the painting was still perfectly clear despite who knows how many years.
All other areas are covered in ruin and moss. Yet this painting seems as if it was just made yesterday.
Furthermore, Kali couldn’t sense a single speck of Qi or Law essence exuding from the painting. She couldn’t even feel a strange presence.
It seemed to be the doing of an ordinary mortal.
But how could a mortal craft a piece like this?
The painting depicted an attention hooking scene.
One man stood tall and proud without a hint of fear on his face. His expression remained a chilling calm as if everything was under his control.
The man didn’t appear divinely handsome, noble, or really that distinct. He looked as common as any other mortal.
But, something within that stance, something that Kali couldn’t explain, created an unfathomable attraction.
This man had his gaze pointed up to the skies.
Within the skies were numerous, ferocious demons!
Kali, someone who stained her hands with blood, and killed numerous kinds of Dao Vicious Beasts, couldn’t help but feel a genuine chill crawl up her spines when staring at these demon beasts.
Each of them has towering bodies that force most people to look up at them, creating a domineering presence based on height alone. Each demon also had beating, crimson-colored eyes that shined brighter than the pits of hell.
The demons all didn’t look the same, however. Many held distinct features, some more frightening to look at than others.
Kali even spotted one demon that had numerous wide-open eyeballs growing right out of its arms!
Around the demon and the man showcased a scenery that looked eerily similar to the current Sea Collision Realm.
Only in the painting the realm seemed thriving with islands that hold beautiful cities within them.
Kali could feel her curiosity increase by the second.
Many questions swirled in her mind.
Just how is this painting still so beautifully intact?
What had happened to the Sea Realm?
Just who are these vicious-looking demons?
But above all, just why does this seemingly ordinary man look the utmost confident under all these threats?
Kali’s eyes slowly scanned the painting all over. And when she reached the top of the painting, she paused.
Only one word was written at the top. But this word carried an invisible momentum. A momentum that couldn’t be ignored no matter what.
Kali blinked her eyes, slowly muttering out in slight befuddlement, “Forward?”
No other words to explain the meaning or even a short phrase to give a hint to the meaning.
Only the single world forward.
Kali, naturally, couldn’t understand this. But at the same time, she felt herself going into a slight daze. As if the invisible momentum of the painting had already affected her entire Spiritual Sea.
…
At another section of the Sea Collision realm.
A beautiful young girl flew at her own leisure. She had no agency in her actions, flying at moderate speeds that seemed almost too casual considering her current situation.
Of course, this was Amber. And she prefers to slowly take in the environment of a new dimension than rush in for resources.
Truthfully, Amber’s largest motivation for coming was the potential chance of stumbling upon something Spirit energy-related here.
Shi Wei hadn’t precisely confirmed it. Though, she left the possibility open, mentioning that the Sea Realm master had numerous abilities not clearly recorded in history.
As a World Spirit Master enthusiast, Amber knew she had to at least try her luck.
Thus, Amber was overly cautious during her search, not wanting to deal with any unnecessary troubles that brought no benefits to her.
Her cautiousness allowed her to discover the dangerous traps permeating this entire realm.
Amber had become more mindful of the traps compared to the Dragon siblings. She can very well defend herself against a genuine Divine Origin expert. But, overwhelming them and even just defeating them is an entirely different story.
Moreover, Amber’s style wasn’t dominant in battle. Instead, she prefers to instantly end a battle by sealing away her opponents’ energies and then fighting them.
Amber felt a bit grateful she still hadn’t encountered any other competition yet.
Her background would dissuade any malicious thoughts about her in the first place, but Amber knows the unexpected can always happen. That lesson of the Ink Sect Elder all the way back on her home plane always permeates her thoughts.
For some time now, Amber flew at a moderate pace, reaching dozens of miles deep in the Sea Realm.
At this point, she held little expectations of meeting anyone else, almost believing she had gotten lucky enough to be transported into an utterly desolate part of the realm.
However, just as she believed she was alone, Amber suddenly stopped, her Spirit Senes detecting several auras close by.
Amber wryly smiles while shaking her head. She tossed her gaze in the direction her Spirit Sense pointed her to, settling her sights on an abandoned island only a couple of miles away.
With just one glance, Amber’s curiosity piqued.
A three-person group of youths floated above the island, each of them wearing contemplative expressions. None of them dared to take even a step forward on the island.
This group of youths had a distinct appearance. They all dawned on classical light green robes that had intricate spear designs pattering all over the fabric.
And on their backs were beautiful spears, all made crafted from the finest of divine quality materials. These spears also had several Spirit insignia symbols running along their shaft.
The spears were the youths’ most notable qualities.
Amber curled her brows, muttering to herself, “The Jade Spear Palace? One of them is a 3rdfall while the rest are 2ndfall. Why are they waiting?”
