However, Cinty did not do that. She really just turned around and decided to leave. This battle against a Heavenly Divine Soul owner helped Cinty to understand her power much better. Besides, the protection that Krune passed to her would only last one hour. So unless she is in a dire situation, she won't use it.
"Wait!"
Just as she was about to take flight, Cinty heard Ponkeli's voice and looked back at him, puzzled.
"What is your name in the ranking?"
"Tincy."
Leaving behind that single name, Cinty left. Ponkeli didn't try to follow her since he knew he couldn't stop that female Demon Beast.
"Tincy... I don't remember any genius who had a similar name. She also doesn't have a Heavenly Fragment or Heavenly Divine Soul. I guess this is what you call a black horse, or perhaps a 'blackhole horse?' Haha! Too bad no one was here to hear this joke. Anyway, I wonder just how strong she would be if she had a Heavenly Fragment."
This battle might have finished without a winner, but Ponkeli was also happy enough with the experience. Both sides didn't hold back at all, which was the best way to get used to one's own power. After feeling the flow of Godly Energy for a few seconds, Ponkeli turned in a different direction and departed as well.
Suddenly, somewhere near the place where those two were battling, a rock's shadow started to move. The shadow then took the shape of a dark-colored snake which looked at the directions that Cinty and Ponkeli left.
"Blackhole Horse, your ass! Sigh... whatever. Unfortunately, they didn't fight to the bitter end."
The snake then merged into the shadow again and disappeared. It was waiting when both sides were too weak to continue, allowing it to finish both simultaneously. At the very least, it was expecting to get one of them. Unfortunately for it, both sides didn't act as expected, forcing the snake to leave empty-handed.
Surprisingly, Liriu's situation was not as bad as Krune, and the others imagined.
He had indeed be sent to some other place separated from the others. However, while he flew around without a real destination, he was spotted by another Demon Beast participating in this Holy Land. That Demon Beast got close and noticed that Liriu was only a kid at the Core Formation Realm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, the guy thought that this was some kind of trap. But as Liriu flew around, nothing else happened, especially since Liriu was flying very low while avoiding getting anyone's attention. Finally, this Demon Beast lost it's patience and called him over.
"Kid, what the hell are you doing in this place alone?"
Liriu was frightened when that voice appeared on his mind. He had put so much effort into staying out of sight, but someone already found him.
"Wh-Who is it?!"
Suddenly, an old man came walking from behind a tree. However, Liriu could tell that he is also a Demon Beast due to his Aura.
"It was me, do you have a problem?"
Liriu immediately shook his head vigorously.
"So, how come you ended inside the Holy Land?"
Liriu didn't know if he could trust the old man in front of him. However, Liriu could tell that the man's cultivation was definitely several times higher than his own. That meant that he would be dead already if the man decided to attack. Since that was the case, Liriu decided to at least tell how he got alone.
"I was together with my parents and my uncle until we reached a big Light Pillar. My father took the test first, and I went second. After destroying all the fake enemies created by that Light Pillar, I was teleported here. However, my father was no were to be seen. I waited for a long time, but my mother and uncle, who were supposed to come after, also didn't appear. So I tried to move around to see if I could find them."
The Demon Beast immediately went into a rage.
"Who the hell would try something idiot like this? Didn't they know that there are several different dimensional realms for each level? It was evident that you would get separated if you went through it. First of all, who would bring a kid to a place like this? Are they even thinking with their heads?"
It was then that he noticed a problem.
"Wait! How can you resist the Godly Energy in this place with such low cultivation?"
Liriu looked at him, puzzled. But then his eyes lit up.
"Oh! I can indeed feel the pressure of Godly Energy, but it is quite comfortable."
The man's mouth twitched.
"Com... comfortable?"
For a second, the man thought that the kid was fooling him. But then again, Liriu didn't look the least bit troubled by the Godly Energy. If anything, it was he who seemed to have problems resisting it. He had to use his Chaos Energy to block at least half of the Godly Energy in the Second Level. It would still take quite some time before he got totally used to it.
"You... What kind of demon beast are you?"
It was then that Liriu remembered. Laex, Tiane, and Ruik warned him thousands of times that if anyone asked, he should say...
"I'm a Fire Quetzalcoatl."
"Fire Quetzalcoatl? I've never heard bout this subspecies of Quetzalcoatl before."
Liriu didn't know what to say, he just understands that he can't tell that he is a Dracophoenix. In the end, he went silent.
However, the man had to admit that Liriu looked like a Quetzalcoatl a lot. It is just that he was firey red.
'A hybrid? Perhaps between some firebird race? Well, he does look like a Quetzalcoatl.'
The man sighed before saying.
"Forget it. You are lucky that I was the one who found you. I will need to stay on this second level for quite a few months before going up, so you can stay with me during this time. My ability to adapt to the Godly Energy isn't as good as yours, after all."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere are thousands of Major Divine Souls, Heavenly Fragments, and Heavenly Soul Owners. Also geniuses and rare beasts. However, a lot more are just rich enough to by a slot to the Holy Land and aren't that heaven-defying.
This Demon Beast in human form just happens to be one of them. So he isn't as fast as those geniuses and needs a lot more time to get used to the Godly Energy. The only reason he is in the Second Level already is that he can use the Chaos Energy to resist it with his Void Breaking Realm Cultivation. In fact, he almost lost in the battle against the ten enemies in the first Light Pillar. He had to give his all just to resist those ten minutes.
"Anyway, just stay with me during this time."
Liriu didn't know what to say.
"I..."
The man snorted and turned around.
"Well, I'm not forcing you. If you want to stay alone, be my guest."
The man began to fly away without even bothering to insist on Liriu following him. It is not like he had any obligation to start with.
However, Liriu is still an 11 years old kid, so he was indeed scared of being alone in this place. Since someone appeared and offered help, he could only accept.
What Liriu didn't know is that he was indeed fortunate. During the time he was flying around, quite a few Cultivators and Demon Beasts noticed him with their Divine Senses. But after seeing his cultivation, they just ignored and pretended that he didn't even exist. What could a Core Formation Realm Demon beast possibly do for them? Some also thought that it might be a trap as the old man did, so they stayed even further away from him.
Liriu quickly followed without even looking back. As for things like his bloodline seal and others, he will need to think about that later.
Surprisingly, Tiane and Ruik ended being sent to the same Dimensional Realm in the Second Level. Of course, once Liriu disappeared, they started to search for him as if they were crazy. However, because Laex also disappeared, they soon concluded that there might be several different Dimensional Realms for each level.
Once they arrived at the Second Level Light Pillar, they got the necessary information from the surrounding cultivators. That confirmed their theory that there were several different Dimensional Realms.
"What do we do now?"
Ruik pondered a bit and suggested.
"Krune, Feifei, and Fie are probably in the same situation. However, the information we got from the other cultivators and demon beasts says that there is no way to travel between Dimensional Realms of the same level. Knowing Krune, he will probably try to look for a way as he goes up. We might as well do the same. Staying put in this place won't help with anything."
As worried as Tiane might be, she had to admit that Ruik was right. That being said, both of them immediately entered the third level as well. It was also during this time that 'Your Grandfather R' and 'Beating Grandfather R' names appeared. Krune ended reaching the second level pillar after them since he was able to see their names at that time.
On the third Level, Tiane and Ruik encountered the same problem as Krune. They couldn't resist any more Godly Energy. In the end, they also found a concealed place and sat down to cultivate while their bodies got used to the Godly Energy of this Level.
