When sensing Mu Yixue’s icy existence, Arun couldn’t help but cringe.
His cultivation was one level above Mu Yixue’s due to his age, but that ice seemed to lock his soul as well, making him unable to go anywhere.
It even gave him the sensation of death. His fate was completely not his anymore.
At the same time, Ciel appeared in front of Zaden who wanted to leave. The man couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw him.
“I’m sure you’re the mastermind,” Ciel said, straight to the point so that he was even more surprised.
He was confused as to how Ciel knew and even found him.
Of course, he did not have the personality to dispute the things he did because of his pride as a member of the Heaven Race.
He chose to calm down, looked Ciel in the eyes, and said, “yes, it’s me, what are you going to do?”
Others were afraid of Ciel’s background because he was supported by the two Supreme Gods. That didn’t apply to him because the Heaven Race was still stronger.
In reality, there were five Supreme Gods in that Race.
The Ice Goddess might not fear anyone, but even she did not have enough power to run amok in the territory of the Heaven Race.
That was the reason why they were so feared. They were simply too powerful. The Dragons, Phoenixes, and Elves would have to join forces if they wanted to match their Race.
In the Seven Realms, they can claim to be the transcendent party.
“What I will do, it will depend on your strength,” Ciel replied.
He immediately moved after he said that, slashing his sword covered by his three flames towards Zaden.
The latter snorted coldly, not fearing him even though he heard Ciel had defeated Gabriel.
His body emitted an extremely majestic golden light, turning him into combat mode.
He took out a long golden spear, then swung it towards Ciel’s sword.
Clang!
The sword and spear met, shaking the ground so that everyone’s attention was drawn to them.
People finally realized the Heaven Race’s involvement.
At the same time, who was stronger between Ciel and Zaden was immediately apparent.
The latter was thrown several meters back when his spear collided with Ciel’s sword.
He couldn’t have been more surprised as this included a significant difference.
“I can’t believe this!” His pride made him resist. He jumped up and lunged towards Ciel, trying to stab the tip of his spear into Ciel’s chest.
And he didn’t just move. Behind him golden light gathered, forming a thousand large hands that then moved towards Ciel.
This man made a direct all-out attack as his technique not only shook the land, it even made some of the smaller Pyramids sway.
The Fire Dragon who had stopped moving since things changed stared at the thousand hands behind Zaden and snorted coldly.
“He’s decent enough, but not that good,” he said before looking at Ciel.
“Let’s see if this boy can defeat the boy from the Heaven Race.”
At this moment, Ciel narrowed his eyes.
He had to admit that the Heaven Race was indeed unique.
That golden aura seemed to be an aura of a different class from the other auras.
It was unique so only selected people could possess it. Others could not possess it no matter how they practiced.
However, when observing using the Eyes of Heaven, Ciel could not say that Zaden was truly an invincible being.
His power was indeed unique, but he was unable to use it to its fullest point. It was still very, very far from the peak.
Compared to his three Holy Flames, Zaden’s strength was still lacking, something that was clear in his eyes.
In response, he pointed his sword forward.
From his hands, his three Holy Flames gushed out, forming three giant dragons that also roared.
The three dragons were not formed because of Ciel’s will, but because of the power of the sword.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Each of the fire dragons roared loudly, creating a heat wave that instantly destroyed some of the thousand hands.
When they all finally met, the clear sky instantly darkened as black clouds gathered, the effect of the heat below.
An instant later, everything turned into tricolor flames.
People were unable to see anything else.
Who would be the winner would only be seen when the three flames disappeared.
Occasionally, there was actually golden light emanating from within the flames, but it was as if it could not last long.
“Maybe Prince Ice is the winner,” some people said, not waiting to see it firsthand to guess the outcome.
“Zaden is a genius, but he’s not the best,” someone from the Heaven Realm replied.
This was also a competition between realms. For people from the Heaven Realm, it was no fun if the best genius wasn’t from their Realm.
In fact, their realm had been suppressed several times by people from the Ice Palace, starting with Roxanne and then Rin.
When they were still Hegemons, no Hegemon could stop them in an encounter like this between Hegemons from the Heaven Realm.
“The realm of Heaven in this generation is unstoppable,” added another with confidence.
That ultimately resulted in more debate.
Some argued to the point of fighting.
Whoosh!
Finally, one figure came out, a man with golden hair and wearing a white robe.
However, the man’s robe no longer looked good. It was full of burnt holes and his own skin was full of wounds.
When he landed after jumping, he seemed to be panting, clearly exhausted.
Ciel who then stepped out of the fire still looked relaxed. He occasionally swung the sword in his hand.
“Tell me why you want to kill me?” said Ciel. 𝑶𝑽𝗅𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t
He was sure there must be a purpose, but he had trouble guessing it, rather he could not guess at all.
“Think for yourself,” Zaden replied coldly, refusing to answer while his expression was extremely gloomy.
This defeat was unacceptable to him. He acknowledged that there were those stronger than him among the Hegemons, but he did not like the idea of one more addition being stronger than him.
“Hmph, you must be thinking of running away for you to say that.” Ciel responded mockingly.
He was sure his guess was right because it was often like that.
Sure enough, Zaden’s facial skin turned purple for a few moments.
This was such a taunt and provocation that he wanted to cancel his intention.
However, right after that, the Fire Dragon suddenly shouted to Ciel, “boy, let’s continue our fight.”
The dragon’s shout restored Zaden’s rationality. He waited no longer, he moved at his fastest speed, flew in a certain direction, and disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, the fire dragon also moved, lunging towards Ciel.
“You’re pissing me off,” Ciel said to him as his eyes turned cold.
Of course, the dragon was not frightened by his gaze, he still acted domineeringly.
In fact, Ciel was also rather unsure how to defeat this dragon.
He couldn’t argue that it was very strong, exceeding his expectations.
What the Elf Queen said that only a unique Hegemon could match it didn’t seem to apply to this dragon.
Ciel could stop the dragon’s movements with the power of his eyes, but there was no doubt that his attacks were not enough to defeat it. Unless he was probably using the technique he had gotten from the previous ruler of the Immortal Domain.
However, he thought it was too early to use it. It shouldn’t be used for the battle of the Hegemons because it was something very important.
When he was thinking, he suddenly heard Mu Yixue’s voice in his head.
(Ciel, go, I’m going to fight this dragon.)
(Are you sure?) Ciel couldn’t help but ask because he thought Mu Yixue had no chance at all with her cultivation still at the Eighth Hegemon Stage.
(Are you underestimating me?) Doubted, Mu Yixue instantly became upset.
(It seems you still don’t understand,) she continued, (don’t think these two women of yours by my side are equal to me. Thalia is the niece of the Elf Queen, she gained her status because of blood relations. As for Yasmin, hmm, she’s not worthy of being compared to me yet.”)
Everything Mu Yixue said shocked and confused Ciel so Ciel stared at her and ignored the dragon that was getting closer to him.
(I will break through.) She said again.
(How are you going to break through?) Ciel didn’t expect her to use that method, but the problem was that she had only broken through to the Eighth Stage. If she wanted to break through again, Ciel was worried that it would take time.
(You need to know that I wouldn’t be the Goddess’ disciple if I could be equal to many people. There are no the Goddess’ disciples like that, the First to Third Seniors are invincible in their generation. Even the children of Supreme Gods who inherited their parents’ talents could not defeat the Goddess’ disciples. Do you think I am not like that? Hmph, you’ve only seen the outside of me. Now, you will see what I have been hiding.)
Ciel, “…”
Whoosh!
Mu Yixue suddenly moved. She used all her strength so that she arrived in front of Ciel in an instant with a state of exhaustion.
Her appearance and the way she appeared surprised everyone including the fire dragon, confused as to what she wanted to do, and wondering if she wanted to kill herself.
However, Mu Yixue instantly gave them an answer.
