Chapter 2406 Encounters
Chapter 2406 Encounters
"..." Davis blinked before he shook his head.
"I'm not of the Earth Dragon Clan. Instead, I had the opportunity to learn from an Earth Dragon and even absorbed a bit of its blood essence. However, my attributeless cultivation technique requires my body to be clean of all foreign influences through rigorous cultivation and tempering so that blood essence is cleansed, and all that remains is my comprehension, but that's enough to swat out a few assassins."
"Ahaha!" Erin Goldsun burst into a fit of laughter, his voice cackling as he nodded, "Rightly said! Those fools are no match for our beast bloodlines even though you don't have it anymore."
Davis also nodded, going along with Erin Goldsun.
He didn't try to hide the prowess of the Earth Dragon within him because his Earth Laws were made up through the comprehension stemming from the Earth Dragon's might. His earthen martial energy was pretty obvious to sense but also seemed fake, like how Niera used Golden Crow Flames, having no genuineness to it, yet she was still able to conjure it.
That's why if he lied and said that he didn't have any relation with Earth Dragon, that would plainly be suspicious, but if he mixed the truth and confused the other party with an attributeless cultivation path that seemed unexplored, he knew that it became possible to fool almost any youth and perhaps even elders.
Soon enough, they left together, traversing the spatial region at a medium pace.
Davis also got to know more about Erin Goldsun, about how he was here to improve his Space Laws that were lagging behind his peers in his own family. He had come here to suppress them but came to know that he had an assassination bounty posted on his head.
However, for himself, Davis kept his mouth shut even when probed, making him appear more and more mysterious as time passed.
Their path was filled with treacherous pitfalls of the abyss. However, their path was clear since they had crossed all rogue cultivators that had entered, and it was filled with smooth sailing since Erin Goldsun seemed to be aware of the way. The only cultivators in the forefront were those of the major powers.
Quickly, they came across another intersection where they noticed an ongoing battle.
*Bang!~*
Spatial undulations were rampant. Explosive ripples spread across the region, filling the air with dust and even light rays.
More than twenty people clashed with their weapons and techniques, causing the ground to quiver with each explosion. Moreover, blood energy was surging beyond control as it filled the space with a crimson mist of blood.
The chaotic air left Davis stunned before he appeared like he wanted to go help as he wanted to establish his identity, but before he could even think of something, a figure beside him rushed into the distance.
"Big brother Erin! Stop! You're already injured!"
Erin Goldsun didn't look back at his team, but his voice boomed out, "The Bloodcloud Family dared to scheme with the three assassin powers. If I don't ruin their plans, I do not belong to the noble blood of the Golden Crow Clan's Goldsun Family!"
His tone was full of rage, causing the others to understand before they rushed off along with him.
However, one of them remained and looked at Davis.
"Esteemed cultivator Mo Tian, please help out this one time. I'm not saying for you to interfere, but it would be fine as long as big brother Erin doesn't die."
Davis turned to look at a woman. She was one of the two women on Erin Goldsun's team and appeared to be his woman as her eyes were tearing up already.
He didn't care as he was already going to do his thing but still nodded, appearing solemn while radiating a righteous air.
"I will see to it."
"Thank you~" The veiled crimson-haired beauty looked at him deeply before she also shot off into the distance.
"Senior, we will also help them!"
Davis turned to look at Rayleigh and the wind cultivator. He still didn't know the latter's name but still nodded his head. The two of them shot forwards without him signaling, signifying bravery, while on the other hand, he saw the Goldsun Family's people mix into the chaotic fray as they unleashed their tremendous destructive might, unleashing their golden flames amongst the three different powers.
Their inclusion instantly caused the battle to come to a balance as the two powers that were being oppressed by the so-called Bloodcloud Family and two assassination powers, the Soulsteal Pearl Temple and Oracular Reaver, no longer seemed to be pressured.
Davis saw Erin Goldsun performing the Ravaging Golden Tornado Technique again. He recognized it as Niera used it in the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition. Its destructive prowess was immense, and it originated from the Destructive Golden Flame Canon, one of the three revered cultivation manuals of the Golden Crow.
He had seen its destructive prowess firsthand now but also felt that the manual in Niera's hand would completely quench her desire for destructive prowess after she absorbed the Golden Crow's Blood Essence.
After all, Niera was already powerful enough to make a Supreme Immortal Rune.
Although Davis wasn't confident in hoodwinking the Golden Crow Clan into giving him their blood essence, he at least wanted to create support as well as establish this identity known as Mo Tian. It would give him more leeway to confuse his true opponents in the long run while there was Feng Chu as a backup.
However, Davis still didn't go, watching the different powers battle with the life on their line. None of them seemed to be holding back their punches at a glance, causing him to know that there would be a bloodbath waiting outside as Immortal Kings were present.
However, there were Immortal Kings from all of these powers, so he didn't exactly know how this would play out. The young geniuses might be genuine, but the elders would like to play chess all the time.
He didn't know which individuals had their deaths decided from outside and which individuals would live to see the tenth day.
Opening his Death God Eyes as his eyes turned crimson, he instantly came to know the answer, but the answer only caused him to feel some anger.
'Curses, I've already influenced their fates...'
His expression fell, looking at some of their lifespan change in live time, both the enemy and allies.
However, this kind of fate was not harmful or big enough to become a karmic burden. Instead, it was on the level of an Anarchic Divergent affecting the lives of others. A simple example was how he saved Alexi Ethren's mother, Arianna Woller, and affected their fate, but it wasn't extreme or balance upsetting.
It was purely just his presence and not Fallen Heaven's, twisting the fate around them to not even a degree, but it was still something.
Davis could now see why Anarchic Divergents preferred to remain alone. The stronger they are, the bigger the influence, and the influence would sometimes become a calamity for the weaker people or even become an opportunity.
He was inclined to believe that it was the former that happened the most.
Taking a step forward, his body moved.
"Fear not, Lumin Family humans. We will survive this assassination attempt and expose the Bloodcloud Family's hypocrisy sooner or later."
The void twisted and a wave of purplish mist spread and covered the air. After that, a spatial armor appeared on a huge obsidian-shelled turtle's body. The presence of the huge turtle, along with four other turtles, shook the dense spatial air around them as it engulfed them, further strengthening their defenses.
"Wyther Blackryst, continue to concentrate on the defense with your Obsidian Crystal Turtle's specialty. My Lumin Family brothers will see to it that none of your backs are vulnerable while I commence the offense with brother Erin Goldsun!"
A white-robed man shouted with valor as his golden hair shook amidst the bizarre cracks appearing in the space around him. Within the pyramid he formed through connecting his fingers, a brilliant wave of light inflated and covered the region, filling his presence everywhere along with three other white-robed cultivators.
"Yes, Farle Lumin!"
Erin Goldsun's expression turned excited as golden flames surged like the wind and filled the space, making it seething hot for the assassins to easily traverse the area.
Only the Ghost Tear Hall was famed for their offense and defense, but on the other hand, the Soulsteal Pearl Temple was famed for their lunatic offensive that didn't care for their lives, while the Oracular Reaver Abode was mysterious and cunningly terrifying with their ambushes.
They looked like they could repel the assassination attempt together.
After all, the three aggressors possibly couldn't join hands and kill them now that three other powers have combined their might together. Including the magical beasts who had a spatial advantage in increasing their prowess, the humans of the Goldsun Family and Lumin Family combined all three cultivations to increase their prowess to five levels higher, becoming a greater threat to the enemies.
However, how could someone let that happen?
"Bloodrage Rend!"
*Ripp!~*
A figure clad in crimson robes abruptly exploded with a tempestuous intensity and slashed across space as it turned into a bloody claw, heading towards Erin Goldsun as it locked him in space.
