From two months ago, the Path of Holy Light suddenly disappeared, leaving the participants of the trial puzzled. They initially thought someone had completed the trial and reached the summit, but there was no feedback. They thought that the path might reopen in a few days, speculating that there might be some mechanism at work, but two months passed without any change. Many people couldn't bear the loneliness and started searching for resources elsewhere, leaving only half of them waiting here.
The immortal inheritance!
Countless people looked at the palace floating in the sky, how could they give up?
Some even tried to fly up, but the tremendous pressure forced them down. Several foolhardy individuals died from falling, which made others learn their lesson.
At the pinnacle of the sky, inside the palace, Bexia was seated on the throne where Arahathis had been seated before, with Christine placing her on her lap. She wore new clothes, and her previous blood stains had been cleaned.
"We have already channeled all the energy, why hasn't the master awakened?" Conesy stood by, with a hint of concern and envy in her eyes towards Christine. At least she didn't have the courage to place Bexia on her own lap.
"Sister already explained, right? Although the energy has been channeled, the master's consciousness has undergone severe impact and needs time to recover!" Christine gently touched Bexia's face. Although she said she wasn't worried, that was just a lie. She was more worried about Bexia's safety than anyone else.
However, she knew there was nothing she could do. Everything now depended on Bexia's own recovery.
Will is a strange thing. It relies on the soul but is different from it. If the soul is the body, then will is the soul within the soul. That was the current situation with Bexia. His soul was intact, but his will was in chaos. In this state, he had no autonomous consciousness. Even if he awakened, he would be nothing more than a puppet with a soul.
"But..." Conesy hesitated.
"It's alright, didn't Sister already say it? The master's Divinity has preserved his main consciousness. The master will awaken soon... Huh?!" Christine, who was smiling, suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Curiously, Conesy asked, glancing at Christine, who had an unnatural blush on her face.
"The master woke up just to tease me!" Christine pushed Bexia, who was blowing hot air at her lower abdomen, away. Keep in mind, this was on a high throne. Caught off guard by the push, Bexia rolled down the high steps.
"Waaah!"
Bexia tumbled around, although he had a strong body and didn't sustain any injuries from the fall, it was an uncomfortable experience, especially for someone as prone to dizziness as him.
"Christine, you've gone too far! I was just joking, was it necessary to do this?" Bexia got up from the ground, rubbing his dizzy head, and looked at Christine, who was angry.
"Who told you to be so shameless, and you have no idea how worried I was about you. You even made a joke out of it!" Christine puffed up her cheeks, full of anger.
"Alright! I admit I was wrong, can we just let it go?" Bexia surrendered. He knew he had to appease Christine first, as she had been by his side during all this time and knew about everything that happened outside.
Although he couldn't control it actively, he was aware of everything that had happened in the outside world these days. After the explosion of Divinity in Yalahanthisse, the released energy shattered his will and pushed his spiritual space to the brink of collapse.
Lady Cloud brought Christine and Conesy to share the outburst of power, which helped to control the initial stage of the Divinity eruption. However, it was not enough. Could his soul withstand the energy released after the complete shattering of an eternal-level Divinity?
If it weren't for the support of Chaos Divinity, Christine, and Conesy, Bexia would have exploded immediately. However, even with their support, it was not enough to withstand the outburst of power. In the end, Lady Cloud had to step in to resolve the issue.
Lady Cloud awakened a dormant artifact with the help of Divinity's power. This artifact would bear the power within Divinity, but the cost was her own severe weakness. Right now, Lady Cloud is still asleep in Bexia's subspace!
The Crown of Light is the artifact awakened by Lady Cloud. It is a pure white crown with golden edges, holding a part of the power of the Isina Holy Spirit Kingdom. It can transform living beings into holy spirits, and the excess power is channeled into the Crown of Light by Lady Cloud, creating an incredibly powerful holy spirit.
Unlike the Isina Holy Spirit Kingdom, Bexia cannot summon holy spirits for battle. However, he can fight with the power of the holy spirits and make use of all their abilities, combat experience, and even talents.
Moreover, due to the overwhelming power of Divinity this time, in addition to the artifact awakened by Lady Cloud, another artifact appeared in Bexia's spiritual space. It was a feather-based artifact made by Carlos, who was exceptionally caring. It served both offense and defense.
The Wings of the Azure Sky possess four powers, representing Carlos's four powers, and have five different forms:
- White is the normal form, providing him with extremely fast flying speed. With his current state, it's nearly impossible for any monarch to surpass him in terms of flight speed.
- Golden is the defensive form, capable of creating a strong protective barrier. It enhances his strength by a significant level.
- Crimson is the offensive form, allowing him to temporarily unleash ten times the destructive power. However, the consumption is also substantial. It is effective as a one-shot kill, but Bexia cannot sustain it in a prolonged battle.
- Ice blue is also an attack form. If we have to differentiate, the crimson state is for physical attacks, while this state focuses on soul attacks. When the wings unfold, they create a blizzard that erodes the soul, continuously depleting soul strength and suppressing any being within its range.
- Lastly, the green-blue state is for extreme speed. It triples the speed from the normal white wing state, and under full exertion, it can triple again, resulting in six times the speed of the white wing state. However, after using this state, it won't be available for some time.
In addition to all this, Bexia also benefited from the catastrophe. His cultivation directly improved by a significant level, and he is now a ten-star champion. This is all thanks to Christine and Conesy suppressing him firmly, as if they were sacrificing themselves. Otherwise, if Chaos Divinity had absorbed him, he might have already become a saint by now!
Christine and Conesy, who share the same power, also achieved good results. Conesy's improvement was average, after all, she relied on the warship's body, and absorbing so much energy did not bring any significant advancement.
On the contrary, Christine made great progress. She is now a saint, albeit the lowest level at one star. In reality, she has already accumulated the power equivalent to ten stars. What she lacks is the understanding of the cosmic mysteries as a saint.
In other words, as long as Christine enhances her understanding of the soul's mysteries, her strength will naturally increase.
