Chapter 553: Appearance of Divine Beasts (1/2)
Rumble!
The skies continued to rumble with thunder, but not a speck of thunderclouds nor the flashing sight of lightning could be seen.
The only thing that could be seen in the night sky was Aria's brightly glowing body of bluish-white light.
The thunderclouds were utterly devoured by Aria and now existed inside of her sea of consciousness.
It gathered tightly around the Transcendent Ice-Lightning Crystal like a nebula and would sparkle with icy-cold electrical discharge from time to time. Some discharges even reached the soul core, which was considered lethal to most people.
However, Aria was perfectly fine with her soul intact.
On the contrary, the icy-cold electrical discharged swam along the surface of Aria's soul core intimately without trying to destroy it.
A Transcendent shared great affinity with their element and can never be destroyed by their own power—not unless they lose the connection they share with their element.
”So this is the Seeking Insight Stage…” Aria studied her newfound strength after opening her eyes in the sky, ”This much strength should be around the same level as a Heaven Ascension Realm Divine Practitioner…”
Even so, Aria was also surprised to have reached the Seeking Insight Stage so quickly.
According to her estimation, it should have taken her at least three months, which was still considered extremely fast by the world's standards.
However, it was like someone was urging her to become stronger and assisted her in comprehending the Laws of Ice and Lightning, which ultimately led to her breakthrough.
”Someone helped me… but whoever it was, it wasn't Aria White for sure…” Aria muttered with furrowed her brows.
Contrary to feeling the joy of reaching the Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm, Aria was riddled with concerns that there might be someone or something hidden in her own soul that she had no knowledge of.
”This is concerning… I should talk to Leon about this later…” Aria decided before closing her eyes to stabilized her cultivation.
However, it was not long before her eyes snapped open after sensing a humongous presence descending towards her from the distance ahead.
”Something is coming!”
It was not just Aria that sensed the presence. The sentries on the Great Wall were quickly alarmed after they heard the loud whisking wind and felt the increasing pressure of being pressed down by the wind.
Supreme Elder Haldir and Queen Elizabeth immediately shot to their feet and gazed towards the west with solemn expressions.
”Something big is coming.”
”Un, I can feel it too!”
The two uttered.
ROAR!
KREE!
The mighty roars and cries of two different creatures of epic proportions were quickly heard, despite their figures not being seen in the night sky!
It was an instinctive guess determined by the volume of their voices.
However, it was not long before the illuminating figures of a flaming golden crow and a misty blue bird popped out from the high clouds!
The two enormous flying beasts battled and tore at each other with their claws as they continued to plunge from the night skies!
