Chapter 1026 The Cruel Angels" Descent
"Hm? Why is there a human this deep in the jungle?" Goldenstride noticed Leon in the sky after Leon flew into the sunlight domain.
"M-more importantly, the human isn"t affected by the sunlight? No, he"s even absorbing it!"
Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis gradually widened their eyes in surprise at the discovery.
"That is my master," Cindertail calmly stated.
"Your master is a human?!" Dawnchaser and the others shrieked with outrage.
"T-t-this… how can this be allowed…?! You are a royal Paragon with the purest bloodline we have seen in thousands of years, not to mention you have awakened the bloodline ability! How can you take a human as your master?! You are royalty, Supreme Leader!"
"Why can I take a human as my master? I"ll have you all know I was only a Peak rank 2 Transcendent before I met my master. I was only able to reach my present level of strength and awaken my bloodline ability thanks to my master"s grace," Cindertail replied coolly.
"What!" the Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis couldn"t believe what they had just heard.
It was too unbelievable.
And yet, at the same time, it also seemed very reasonable. Otherwise, it couldn"t explain how a member outside the main clan had such a pure bloodline and awakened their ancestral bloodline ability.
"This is crazy…" Dawnchaser softly uttered.
While Dawnchaser was still in a state of disbelief, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the lone figure in the sky.
As the sunlight domain expanded, Leon also increased his absorption rate. He devoured all the Wrathful Demon Energy into his Black Vortex s.p.a.ce for refinement.
The sheer amount of dark energy he obtained from Black Vortex s.p.a.ce after the Wrathful Demon Energy was refined was staggering.
Even so, the amount of dark energy Leon needed to advance to the next stage of his demon cultivation was even more staggering.
Leon expanded his divine sense to the limit and drew in all the Wrathful Demon Energy with his Divine Will.
As that happened, the sunlight domain continued to expand, clearing out the darkness and shadows from Gran Creva.s.se.
Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis backed away from the border that divides dark and light on the ground that continuously inched towards them.
However, at a certain point, Cindertail stopped retreating altogether and decisively allowed himself to be bathed in the sunlight.
"Supreme Leader, what are you doing?!" Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis were immediately startled by Cindertail"s choice. "Be careful of the…!"
Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis wanted to warn Cindertail. But before they could finish speaking, they realized Cindertail was perfectly fine in the sunlight.
The intensity of the sunlight had been brought down to a level that everyone could tolerate after Leon devoured all the Wrathful Demon Energy from it.
"The sunlight doesn"t burn?" the Paragon-level Golden Suannis uttered in their astonishment before turning to Cindertail. "Is this your master"s doing, Supreme Leader?"
"Most likely," Cindertail replied.
Nevertheless, Dawnchaser and the rest of the Paragon-level Golden Suannis in the area weren"t lacking in awareness. They could sense all the impure energy in the atmosphere being drawn to Cindertail"s master at an incredible rate.
The human was like an insatiable black hole that devoured everything.
However, that everything was only the impure energy that only demons would be fond of. That made Dawnchaser and the rest of the Paragon-level Golden Suannis doubt whether Cindertail"s master was actually human or a demon.
Even so, they chose not to say anything.
Ka-cha!
Leon silently advanced to the Peak-stage of Heaven Ascension Realm, just a step short of the Truth Manifestation Realm.
However, even Leon did not know how much dark energy he would require to take that single step. What he did know, though, was that he required a tremendous amount of dark energy.
Nevertheless, Leon didn"t stop absorbing all the thick acc.u.mulation of Wrathful Demon Energy that rushed down from the sky as the clouds further split apart.
Eventually, the sunlight domain covered all of Gran Creva.s.se and started to expand towards the jungle.
Even with Leon"s great absorption speed, he could absorb all the Wrathful Demon Energy that was so far away from his location—not unless he relied on the Divine Book of Life"s gathering ability.
However, that would expose his secret treasure, not to mention the Wrathful Demon Energy would either kill or contaminate the spirit herbs in his Worlds.p.a.ce.
The jungle trees and plants on the outskirts of Gran Creva.s.se all started to sizzle and burn under the scorching sunlight.
Fortunately, the splitting clouds stopped there, ending the expansion of the sunlight domain.
When Dawnchaser and the rest of Paragon-level Golden Suannis saw that, they heaved a sigh of relief before focusing their gaze on the enormous hole in the center of the sky.
It was the Golden Suanni Clan"s first time seeing the beautiful sky that existed beyond the black clouds that covered all of the Dark Abyss Continent.
However, no one had the mood to enjoy it.
Right at that instance, everyone"s attention was focused on the ten gigantic Whitebone Fiends that slowly descended from the center of the hole in the sky.
Supposedly all of the Whitebone Fiends that were shot into the sky had merged into these final ten gigantic Whitebone Fiends.
They were unlike any Whitebone Fiends the Golden Suanni Clan"s Paragons had fought against, whether it was appearance or size.
They were all tenfold bigger than the normal Paragon-level Whitebone Fiends.
Furthermore, they had several pairs of extra limbs; one pair of arms were fused over their heads like a ring or hood, three pairs of arms were elongated on their backs, and six pairs of legs hung over their lower bodies.
At the same time, all their flesh was melted like white cheese, causing their three pairs of elongated parks to look like wings and their six pairs of legs to look like the lower parts of a dress.
Coupled with their big red eyes that screamed with heavy bloodthirst, the ten gigantic Whitebone Fiends look like white angels descending from the heavens.
Alas, they weren"t holy angels but ones filled with evil and malice. They only bring death and desolation instead of blessings.
Cruel Angels – Leon thought of a name that would describe them well.
