Death… And Me

Chapter 1736 Explain Things Better

In the middle of a snowy mountain, space bent as several natural runes appeared around it. Following that, a woman and a Demon Tree in human form stepped out of that area. Naturally, these two were Libraia and Celis, who came to look for Kentucky.

”Alright, here we are. This is the place we received information where the Minokawa called Ume first appeared,” said Libraia.

Celis nodded in response to that. ”Thereʼs no doubt about it. I can feel Kentuckyʼs presence very close to me.”

”So, where is he?” Libraia didnʼt want to waste time.

Celis then focused on the connection between the two before looking at the skies, saying, ”Seems like heʼs somewhere very high, far above what we can see from here.”

Libraia then caught Celis with her Divine Energy and immediately darted upward with him. ”Keep telling me the right direction.”

Celis nodded and guided Libraia as they continued further and further higher. At some point, Libraia started to feel the pressure of the Realm of Gods, trying to send her back down. ”Are we still not there yet?”

Celis shook his head, telling her, ”Itʼs still higher.”

Fortunately, Libraiaʼs cultivation was much higher than Kentuckyʼs. Not to mention that she could use Space Power. In any case, it was a lot easier for her to reach the altitude that Kentucky did in the past. ”Thereʼs nothing here, though.”

Celis shook his head, clarifying, ”Itʼs not that thereʼs nothing here. Itʼs just that we canʼt see it.”

Celis was right. One of the things Kentuckyʼs father used to hide the floating island wasnʼt just its very high altitude and proximity to the limits of the Realm of Gods. Back then, Kentucky could only see the island because Ume knew he was coming. Otherwise, Kentucky wouldnʼt have been able to see it either. Surprisingly, the island was invisible to anyone with cultivation smaller than Kentuckyʼs father.

However, that mattered little as Celis could tell exactly where Kentucky was located. ”Keep going. Weʼre almost at the place.”

Suddenly, Libraia and Celis felt like they had passed through an illusionary barrier before an enormous floating island appeared in front of them. ”This...”

Libraia couldnʼt help but comment, ”We looked everywhere for clues that the Minokawa might have left something behind, but we never found anything. To think such a huge piece of land was hidden at this altitude...”

Celis nodded in response, saying, ”Thatʼs quite something. This island isnʼt affected by the Realm of Godsʼ barrier at all.” Celis then looked in a certain direction as a smile appeared on his face. ”Seems like Kentucky knows that Iʼm here too.”

From afar, Celis could see a black and white creature flying in their direction. ”So you finally decided to show your face.”

However, before Celis could approach Kentucky, several black and white feathers began to appear around him and Libraia. They were all identical to Kentuckyʼs ones and also emanated his aura. ”What is he doing?”

Kentucky arrived but kept a bit of distance as he looked at Celis and Libraia. However, it didnʼt last long before his wings shone with Dark and Light Element. Not only that, but Libraia could also feel the power of space behind them.

ʼKawa Blade Domain!ʼ

The power of space suddenly interacted with all the feathers in the surroundings, as the feathers themselves shone with the elements. In the next moment, all the feathers formed a storm of blades that attacked everything everywhere inside the Kawa Blade Domain.

*Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...*

Even Libraia was taken aback, as she found it annoying to defend against. ”What is that idiot doing?!”

However, Libraia quickly noticed that the power behind the Feather Storm was very small. They couldnʼt even break through her Divine Energy barrier, let alone injure her. ”Hmph! Are you trying to buy a fight?!”

Immediately after, Libraiaʼs vastly greater control over space took place, disrupting Kentuckyʼs skill completely. In the next second, the Kawa Blade Domain was destroyed as the feathers disappeared. The impressive thing was that the feathers were real but made with Light Element, Dark Element, and Space Power. Libraia only noticed that once she destroyed the Domain, which was shocking considering her much higher cultivation.

However, she still focused on Kentucky with a dark expression.

”Hahaha!” It was then that Kentucky began to laugh. ”Did you see it?! Thatʼs an innate Minokawa skill! The Kawa Blade Domain! I, the Great Kentucky, can now use the power of space even though Iʼm not in the Void Tempering Realm yet!”

Libraiaʼs mouth twitched in response. ”Were you testing your offensive skill on me? Give me a good reason to not pluck all your feathers off right now.”

Kentucky then flew close and quickly apologized. ”Sorry, sorry, lady Libraia. Itʼs just that I thought the test would hold no meaning if you knew it was coming. However, you could tell it yourself, couldnʼt you? I had no way to contest against your strength.”

Libraia was still unhappy, but she knew Kentucky was right. ”Hmph! You better not let that happen again. Otherwise, donʼt blame me for killing you.”

Celis, on the other hand, was more concerned about what Kentucky had been doing so far. ”Since youʼre feeling this good, why the hell havenʼt you gone back to Jhiod Sect yet? Also, what happened to your strength? Even I could tell that you werenʼt able to use even a tenth of your capability. If not because of the power of space behind it, that attack would have been pretty much useless.”

Kentucky smiled in response, saying, ”Didnʼt you notice that you just answered your own question?”

Celis narrowed his eyes and then understood. ”Are you saying that you have lost most of your strength?”

”Not really.” Kentucky shrugged his shoulders after returning to his human form. ”Itʼs just that I canʼt use it at the moment. In the end, if I had tried to go back to Jhiod in my current state, I would have probably died. Without any other choice, I have to stay here until this effect disappears.”

Celis and Libraia looked at each other after that. ”Explain things better.”
