Chapter 2371 - The Imperial Clan
Chapter 2371: The Imperial Clan
At that moment, Kai Ya’s eyes seemed to become two devouring black holes, swallowing all the vital energy and taking it to another space. It was an extremely shocking sight.
As the vital energy flowed away rapidly, the blood left in the pool rapidly decreased as well. The level of its surface dropped at an astonishing rate.
After all, the pool of blood was extremely vast. It contained so much liquid that it could be described as a sea. It was immeasurable.
However, the level of its surface dropped at a visible rate right now, which was more than enough to demonstrate just how quickly the blood was flowing away.
In under a quarter of a minute, a third of the pool had vanished at an unbelievable rate. All of the blood had turned into extremely pure strands of vital energy, disappearing into Kai Ya’s eyes.
Kai Ya did not suck away all of it. After taking away a third, she stopped.
Afterwards, she slowly turned around and left the pool’s edge. She made her way towards the distance without any reluctance at all.
She never even glanced at the colossal body covered in dark gold fur that was nourished at the centre of the pool.
It was as if the body was not worthy of her attention!
Even though the corpse gave off an extremely tremendous pressure, possessing terrifying energy that could shake up the world, it still did not draw her attention.
In the end, Kai Ya arrived over a hundred kilometres away from the pool, stepping beyond the boundary.
The churning pool gradually settled down at this moment as well, recovering its calmness.
However, the reduced blood in the pool did not return, so the headless corpse had sunken as a result.
Suddenly, Kai Ya wavered. She collapsed on the ground as if she had fainted.
However, she did not remain unconscious for very long at all before waking up. The coldness and emotionlessness in her eyes had vanished already. Her eyes had recovered their usual light.
“Strange. Why did I suddenly faint?” Kai Ya sat on the ground in confusion. She was completely clueless about what happened moments ago.
…
The white-robed leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, gathered with several dozen Radiant Godkings in the Tower of Radiance.
However, Yu Chen was not standing within the sacred pavilion, but in the miniature world that contained the Grand Exalt’s legacy.
Soon after Jian Chen’s departure, the miniature world had opened up once again. It did not close up after that, allowing people to move in and out as they wished.
However, even with that being the case, there were not many people in the miniature world. There were only a few dozen.
Many curious Radiant Saint Masters had gathered outside the gateway to the miniature world. There were many peak lords and Radiant Godkings among them.
All of them wanted to enter the miniature world, but none of them dared to set foot in there.
This was all because of something that the lord of the Scorching Sun Peak, Gongsun Zhi, had said.
That simple sentence had taken away the rights of all these Radiant Saint Masters to enter the miniature world.
However, all the Radiant Saint Masters gathered there happened to be helpless about it as well.
This was because Gongsun Zhi’s true identity had already become public. As the descendant of the Grand Exalt, he had become an existence who stood above everyone. He also formed an insurmountable obstruction.
The several dozen Radiant Godkings gathered in the miniature world all showed respect towards the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall. Gongsun Zhi was the only Godking among them who no longer bowed to the leader and no longer showed him any respect.
At this moment, Yu Chen stood with his eyes closed before the stele that reached towards into the clouds, comprehending the diagram in there.
Although the legacy at the bottom of the stele had been taken away, the diagram within the stele had not dispersed. It remained there.
At this moment, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall finally opened his eyes. He stared at the stele before him with mixed feelings and thought, “It really doesn’t work. Once I comprehend to the end, I’ll encounter an invisible barrier, and there is nothing I can do about it with my current ability. Was Jian Chen telling the truth, that it can only be overcome with Martial Soul Force?”
The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall frowned.
“Only members of the imperial clan can comprehend the diagram that master left behind in the past. You’re not a part of the imperial clan, so you have no right to comprehend master’s diagram,” at this moment, an obscure voice rang out in the leader’s head.
Yu Chen gathered his attention when he heard the voice. Obviously, he knew that the voice came from the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance.
This was because only the artifact spirit that stood like a god within the Tower of Radiance could communicate with him without giving his location away.
“The imperial clan? What’s the imperial clan?” The leader of the Radiant Saint Master replied with a question, starting a mental conversation with the artifact spirit.
“Members of the imperial clan control a special power. This power is known as Martial Soul Force by you. As long as they possess Martial Soul Force, they are members of the imperial clan among Hallowed Saint Masters.”
“What did you say?” asked Yu Chen. The artifact spirit’s message was astonishing, booming through Yu Chen’s head like a bolt of thunder. It utterly stunned him.
“The people of the Martial Soul lineage are intolerable mortal enemies of our Radiant Saint Hall. How can they be the imperial clan among Hallowed Saint Masters?” Yu Chen refused to accept this. The news was just too shocking, completely toppling his beliefs and understanding.
The artifact spirit said coldly and emotionlessly, “I don’t know the reason why you who are only regular citizens now stand as enemies of the imperial clan, but during my master’s age, your identities would only be citizens of the empire.”
“Empire? Was there an empire completely formed out of Radiant Saint Masters back then?” Yu Chen immediately asked. There was no record of this information he had just learnt.
Even the oldest, most ancient archives were unable to dictate something so distant.
“That’s right. During that age, we were a powerful group within the universe. We had a great, prosperous empire completely composed out of Hallowed Saint Masters. Under master’s lead, we claimed territory after territory and carved out a piece of the world for ourselves, establishing an everlasting state…” said the artifact spirit slowly, narrating the matters of the past.
“The master of the Tower of Radiance actually possessed Martial Soul Force as well…” Yu Chen became lost as he struggled to accept all this. The news from the artifact spirit had almost overturned everything he knew in the past.
“Since the master of the Tower of Radiance is a part of the imperial clan and possesses Martial Soul Force, shouldn’t his descendant possess Martial Soul Force as well?” Yu Chen asked again.
“Every member of the imperial clan is given birth to by the world. It has nothing to do with bloodline…”
