Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 676: Too slow...
Chapter 676: Too slow...
Kyle locked eyes with the supreme-rank individual who could manipulate space, as the shield surrounding the area became filled with countless fractures.
The symbols glowing in his surroundings quivered, and with a resounding snap, the shield shattered completely, its fragments scattered in the air like sharp shards of glass before vanishing into thin air.
Right away, the divine rank and transcendent rank demons and dark race individuals in the vicinity cried out as golden flames consumed the sky above them, and a colossal phoenix descended into the area with numerous others individuals following behind her.
Kyle felt a surge of amusement as he noticed the solemnity and panic on the faces of those around him. However, unfortunately, his physical state prevented him from laughing at them. Despite this, he remained standing on his feet. He wasn't done yet and would finish what he had started-to end certain individuals.
-"Kyle!!"
Bia's loud voice echoed in his ears, but he was in no condition to respond. She quickly scanned the area from above to find him. It took her a while to return here because, while she was searching for supreme-rank individuals, she spotted Ronan and Wesley-the two supreme tank elves she had encountered with Yue previously.
They were searching for their people who had come out of the Lost Treasure Tomb earlier than expected and had successfully rescued many of their young ones.
When Bia transformed into her phoenix form and informed them that Kyle was in danger, they hesitated but then agreed to help because suddenly Ronan said he wanted to reciprocate the assistance Kyle had provided them in the past, aiming to make everything even between them.
On the journey, due to Bia's massive size, Old Hal found her. The old man had been searching for Kyle and his companions with Ned and Vexana and had come across Bia solely because of her noticeable presence.
Because of Ned's irrelevant questions about why Kyle was fighting three supreme ranks alone and where the others were, Bia had to explain to the group following her. That consumed a lot of time.
- "That bastard I am going to kill him if anything happened to Kyle!"
Behind her, Old Hal, Ronan, Wesley, Ned, and Vexana, alongside the many divine and transcendent rank individuals, attacked the demons and dark race people attempting to escape in different directions.
The supreme rank from the dark side, who could manipulate space, staggered back as he witnessed the countless figures in the sky attacking the people with him.
"Damn it!"
He muttered a curse under his breath, and his eyes turned crimson with anger when he noticed Samara fleeing the scene.
"That witch!"
His fists clenched tight, and dark veins started popping on his neck as he charged at Kyle with full speed.
"If you die, it's all worth it!"
At that moment, he cared not for the casualties on his side. Eliminating the nature's favorite meant removing a threat that could potentially become unstoppable for them in the future!
The other supreme-rank human noticed his partner and instantly joined him. Together, they both ran toward the silver-haired man, whose entire lower body was enveloped in the dark energy coming from the ring.
Bia's eyes widened as she finally laid eyes on Kyle. She didn't catch the two supreme ranks rushing towards the man due to their incredible speed, only the eerie darkness that had crawled up to his neck.
-"Kyle!!"
The phoenix's loud cry caught the attention of both Old Hal and Ronan as she charged straight toward Kyle's location.
Old Hal's gaze sharpened because he instantly spotted the two supreme ranks rushing towards Kyle, unlike Bia.
"Stop!"
His shout echoed everywhere. The air quivered intensely as his blue eyes shone, turning completely white for a split second, causing everything around Kyle to explode into pure natural energy.
However, the two supreme rank humans charging at Kyle didn't stop, even after they sustained injuries when Old Hal suddenly used the natural law of disintegration.

Simultaneously, dark, curved blades appeared in their right hands, enveloped in an aura of ominous energy. The razor-sharp edges gleamed with malevolent intent.
One of them would end Kyle's physical body, and the other would destroy his soul. That's what they had mentally agreed on.
Kyle didn't lift his gaze but closed his eyes. He could feel the two men coming at him, the dark energy enveloping his lower body and inching towards his face.
He could even hear Bia's voice and the remnants of the noise from the explosion that had occurred around him ringing in his ears. But now, with both of his eyes closed, everything felt eerily slow to him.
"Too slow..."
He let out a soft breath and experienced a kind of pain, unlike anything he had ever felt before. It was as though someone had just stabbed countless needles all over his soul.
The pain didn't go away; instead, it intensified into an all-consuming inferno that incinerated his thoughts, leaving his mind a desolate, hollow void. Just one word kept echoing in his head, slow, with the torment, ready to break his sanity.
When he reopened his eyes, everything around him genuinely slowed down.
No one took notice, not even he, as the green hue in his eyes faded, and his pupils turned completely white.
The sky above him cracked open with a deafening sound because he tapped into a power he wasn't allowed to yet. Even his bloodline, which had been sleeping in his mind space after the stunt he pulled in the lost treasure tomb, was jolted awake.
Kyle's mind went blank when he raised his gaze towards the nearest person to him. The darkness enveloping him dispersed as he moved from his position, and the silver spear that had fallen in the distance shot towards him at a speed rivalling that of a peak supreme rank. In the next moment, a loud, agonizing cry tore through the air.
Old Hal, who was just about to deploy another of his powerful skills to save Kyle, felt a sudden chill run down his spine upon hearing the loud cry and sensing the subtle shift in his
surroundings.
Not just the old man, every supreme rank present in the area felt it when a powerful natural law was forcefully invoked in their surroundings, and to make it frightening, they were all affected by it, even though they weren't supposed to be impacted to this extent as supreme
ranks.
Old Hal slowly lowered his gaze and noticed a bloodied figure of a familiar man tightly holding a silver spear above another. One half of his spear was deep inside the heart of the man under him. Completely shocked, the old man slightly staggered in the air and sucked in a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart.
"A... true monster... Did Kyle just use the natural law of time to slow down everything around
him?"
