Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 663: The lost treasures tomb entrance had exploded

 n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a bleak landscape, void of greenery and scattered with numerous skeletons, there were several floating islands that housed countless grand residences. Atop one of these islands, within a residence, Old Hal, the one who watched the battles that had occurred in the

Gladiator Arena, sat at a table with a few others, sipping tea.

The old man's body carried numerous injuries, as did those around him because after the first shadow general discovered that a mere divine rank had killed the third shadow general, Will, he launched a sudden attack, leading to numerous casualties.

Old Hal sighed. The clothes he and the others sitting around him wore displayed a large gray sword intricately engraved on the chest. This sword symbol represented their allegiance to the righteous side that had been battling the dark side for centuries.

Elizabeth, who was sitting opposite the old man, rubbed her forehead and slammed the cup of tea in her hand on the table.

"Wasn't the first shadow general badly injured in the last battle and needed time to get better? I thought he would be looking for the person who took the fruit of fate. Why did he come back to attack all of a sudden and even more powerful than before?"

Upon hearing her words, the faces of those around her sank even more. One of the women at the table patted her back.

"What about James? Did he regain consciousness? He managed to stop the first shadow general from breaking one of the last two seals we are guarding, but he went through a lot in return."

Elizabeth shook her head.

"He suffered an injury directly to his soul. It will take him some time to heal this time. If only Odiak and the other elders weren't busy hunting down Ceano to finish him off after learning that he was injured by Kyle, they could have reached James in time. Then, the first shadow general wouldn't have had the chance to severely injure him with the assistance of many supreme ranks."

She clenched her fist and muttered a curse under her breath. If it were up to Elizabeth, she would have already shredded the first shadow general to countless pieces!

Old Hal and the people around him were startled when the door of the chamber they were in slammed open, and a man rushed in. Immediately, the expressions of those inside the chamber darkened, fearing that the first shadow general had attacked once again, and the man had brought that news.

Elizabeth swiftly moved towards the young man and grasped his shoulder.

"What's up, Ned? Did the first shadow general attack-!"

Her words were abruptly cut off as Ned shook his head frantically. He had just returned from the Sacred Divine Land after gifting some treasures to the guardians and families of the thirteen unlucky individuals who missed their opportunity to enter the tomb because of Kyle and his friends.

"No, no! It is not about the first shadow general! The old tomb! The gate of the lost treasure tomb had exploded into pieces-!"

Elizabeth's eyes widened.

"What!?"

Old Hal and the others instantly rushed towards Ned upon hearing his shocking words as Elizabeth grabbed his collar.

"Do you even know what you're saying?! How can the entrance of the lost treasure tomb explode?! If that's true, the entire tomb itself would've blown to bits!"

She gave Ned's body a fierce shake, and he nearly lost consciousness.

However, fortunately, Old Hal intervened in time and stopped Elizabeth. He allowed Ned to finish his words.

Ned quickly straightened his collar and calmed his breathing.

"It's true! The entrance of the lost treasure tomb has really exploded into pieces! I just received the news from the individuals I had stationed in the Sacred Divine Land!"

Immediately, the faces of those around him fell, as if they had lost everything. Old Hal shook his head in disbelief.

"No... If that's true, we have lost all our future warriors. If the lost treasures tomb entrance had exploded, it suggests the whole tomb has been destroyed... Doesn't that mean all those inside had perished?"

Someone nearby swiftly caught the old man before he collapsed to the ground. The atmosphere in the chamber immediately grew eerily quiet, interrupted by Ned.

"At least hear me out completely before plunging into despair..."

All eyes turned to him. What other bad news remained to be revealed? Did the first shadow general launch an attack as well...? However, their eyes widened when they heard Ned's next words.

"The tomb entrance did explode, but miraculously, all the people inside were somehow ejected before the blast, through a massive portal that materialized above the Sacred Divine Land!"

Elizabeth blinked at his words, confused between relief and bewilderment.

"How? We all know, it is not possible for the ones inside to leave the tomb before its gates open up for those inside to exit."

Ned didn't know himself, so he quickly explained that after the massive portal appeared in the sky of the Sacred Divine Land and many people poured out of it, the people of the demon and dark race who are currently residing on the Sacred Divine Land had begun slaughtering them upon learning that those who had emerged from the massive portal were the ones who had entered the lost treasure tomb.

Ned's words stirred everyone around him into action. Old Hal instantly commanded those around him to assemble a group of powerful fighters and head to the Sacred Divine Land to handle the crisis.

In the end, only Elizabeth, Old Hal, and Ned remained in the chamber.

Elizabeth's expression turned solemn as she asked Ned with a grave tone.

"What about Kyle and his companions? Did they too manage to escape the tomb? They are our main concern right now! We must locate them before the dark side reach them and harm

them!"

Old Hal also sought this information.

After the first shadow general discovered that a divine-rank had taken down the third shadow general, he put a bounty on Kyle's head. He promised the position of the third shadow general and numerous rewards to anyone who could deliver the silver-haired man to him, whether

breathing or lifeless.

That's why it was important for them to find Kyle and his companions before the dark side reached them to eliminate them.

Ned's eyes darkened as he recalled the silver-haired man who had beaten him up in the Gladiator Arena in front of a large crowd, yet he masked his anger.

"I am not sure if Kyle and his group had managed to escape from the tomb, but a few people saw a phoenix and a horned lynx emerging from the portal. Then the two beasts disappeared."

He paused for a second.

"Perhaps, Kyle and his group had indeed come out from the tomb, but they likely went into

hiding because they now have plenty of enemies looking for them after what they pulled off in

the Gladiator Arena."

Elizabeth nodded and glanced at Old Hal, who understood her intentions and gave a

reassuring pat on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. I am also secretly leaving for the divine land with Ned and Vexana. You should

remain here with James and the other elders, as who knows when the first shadow general

might attack again."

Old Hal promptly exited the chamber with Ned, while Elizabeth went to inform the other

elders about the news.

....

Just like Old Hal, the strong guardians of the many individuals who had ventured into the lost treasure tomb were informed about the massive portal by the individuals they had stationed

in the Sacred Divine Land.

They quickly departed from their planets to safeguard their people who were meant to remain in the lost treasure tomb for a year or two but had exited the tomb early.

Silently cursing and vowing to end the people behind what had transpired.

The shadow generals were also informed about the news, but since the first shadow general had recently fought with James and sustained injuries, he couldn't personally go to the Sacred

Divine Land.

He tried to contact the other shadow generals, but they were all busy with their tasks. Ceano

had also lost the fake body he crafted using a fragment of his soul, so he had disappeared to seek powerful treasures to mend the injuries he sustained when a part of his soul was harmed.

In the end, he told the people of the dark and demon race on the Sacred Divine Land, who were hunting the people who had emerged from the massive portal, that the greater the number of people they eliminated, the more rewards they would receive upon returning to the demon

planet.

However, to eliminate the nature's favorite and his group, the first shadow general still sent two powerful supreme rank individuals to the Sacred Divine Land.

The two supreme rank individuals were ordered to kill without hesitation the moment they spotted the nature's favorite or anyone from the people who were with him in the Gladiator

Arena.
