459 Wood Transmogrification (2/2)
'Battle was inevitable.'
In a short moment, King Erendriel exposed his grim killing intent and lunged towards Supreme Elder Haldir aggressively, initiating the battle between them.
Back inside the Great Hall, the Elder shortly followed the battle to the hole in the back wall and watched the fight outside.
”Can everyone feel it? King Erendriel's cultivation has reached the threshold of the Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm.” An Elder said.
”I can.” Another Elder nodded before his brows furrowed in doubts. ”But what kind of ability is this? Since when did King Erendriel possess the ability to promote his cultivation base to the next stage directly?”
”Maybe King Erendriel has been hiding his true cultivation from us all this time, but why would he need to do this?”
”I don't think that is the case. There is something strange about this ability and that form. It feels rather ominous.”
”Although it feels like King Erendriel entered the Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm, his wood laws have not improved at all. Rather, only his physical attributes have been given a huge boost.”
”It's rare, but this could be King Erendriel's bloodline ability. It might have been awakened very recently. It is impossible for King Erendriel to breakthrough to Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm without anyone noticing, otherwise.”
The Elder's words quickly received nods of agreement from the other Elders present. Bloodline ability was the most plausible explanation for King Erendriel's transformation.
”I'm not happy with Supreme Elder Haldir's decision, but King Erendriel's behavior is also unseemly as Elvengarde's king. Who will you all support?” The Sixth Elder asked.
The other eleven Elders became quiet before the First Elder spoke, ”Supreme Elder Haldir never makes unwise decisions. There must be a reason to submit to the humans. Perhaps, the Human Domain is far more powerful than we could have imagined?”
”Unfortunately, we did not get to hear the details from the Supreme Elder before King Erendriel started the fight.” The Third Elder sighed.
”We need to stop this fight!” General Paeris stated objectively with concern.
Although he did not like what King Erendriel had become, Elvengarde could not afford to lose any of these two Transcendental figures.
”Stop the fight?” An Elder glanced back at the general casually and said, ”If you have the ability, then you can try and stop them. This isn't the sort of battle we can intervene in.”
The Elders might also be Transcendents, but they were only at the Preliminary Accession stage.
A casual hit from King Erendriel or Supreme Elder Haldir might just send them into oblivion before they could heal themselves.
Boom!
King Erendriel and Supreme Elder Haldir clashed explosively before the Supreme Elder Haldir was sent crashing into another distant home, shaking the treetop slightly.
However, the Vine Armor protected Supreme Elder Haldir and allowed him to get out unscathed from the impact. Not his organs were slightly shaken.
General Paeris frowned.
Suddenly his eyes flickered, shortly darting his eyes around in search of someone. Elf Queen would be able to stop the fight without intervening directly.
”Where is Queen Radelia?” General Paeris asked after failing to find the Elf Queen.
The twelve Elders gave each other glances before one of them asked, ”Has anyone heard from Elf Queen in the past few days?”
