Coiling Dragon: An Unconventional Transcendence.
Chapter 510: A Mirror of HistoryIf Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had kept his promise ten thousand years ago and allowed his mother, Lina, to regain her freedom, how could Linley possibly still want to kill him?
The same was true for Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
If he had not helped Light Chief Sovereign Augusta cover up his actions and made Linley believe that his mother had truly regained her freedom, how could Linley refuse to give him face?
Precisely because of this, Linley's attempt to kill Light Chief Sovereign Augusta at this moment did not count as violating the Sovereign Agreement!
Chief Sovereign Death had established the Sovereign Agreement to protect lower-ranked Sovereigns.
But the Sovereign Agreement was not a protective talisman for lower-ranked Sovereigns to use when provoking and offending higher-ranked Sovereigns.
"Beirut!"
Feeling the dense and completely unhesitating sword lights Linley was unleashing once again, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta could not help secretly hating him. His killing intent toward Beirut became even stronger.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong Augusta's killing intent toward Beirut was right now, there was nothing he could do to Beirut.
Beirut was currently hiding beside Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred.
Even if Augusta managed to escape Linley's pursuit, it was fundamentally impossible for him to cross Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and attack Beirut.
Moreover, Linley had already closed in.
Perhaps in less than two breaths of time, he would be killed by Linley!
"No!"
"How could I possibly die here?"
Light Chief Sovereign Augusta roared.
Then, four drops of divine beast blood essence emitting powerful pressure appeared beside Augusta.
Within Augusta's Sovereign power, the four drops of Sovereign blood essence burned fiercely, while the phantoms of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise enveloped Augusta.
"This, this is?"
The Sovereigns following closely behind Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred suddenly felt a powerful killing intent erupt from Lord Wodred.
"Orloff!"
Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred's divine sense spread out, locking onto Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, who was rapidly rushing toward Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.
In the battle ten thousand years ago, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred had been slightly inferior to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
According to the agreement between them, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred had told Orloff about the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns that he had comprehended.
Although it had not been explicitly stated, when one learned a technique from someone else and wanted to pass it on to another person, obtaining the original creator's consent was naturally necessary.
At this moment, the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns that Light Chief Sovereign Augusta was using was likewise centered around the divine beast blood essence of the White Tiger Sovereign.
With Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's comprehension, which was not even enough for him to become a Paragon, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred absolutely did not believe that Augusta had comprehended this technique on his own.
Thinking of the relationship between Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, it was not difficult for Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred to realize that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff must have secretly passed the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns that he had comprehended to Light Chief Sovereign Augusta!
Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's actions could be regarded as treating Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred as though he did not exist. How could Wodred not be furious?
On the other side, Linley's expression also changed when he saw Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's actions.
Although Linley knew that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff possessed the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, he did not know what relationship existed between Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta. However, judging from the fact that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was willing to offend even Linley in order to protect Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, their relationship was certainly not ordinary.
Thus, it was not difficult to understand why Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had learned the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
At once, Linley did not dare to be careless either. With a wave of his hand, four drops of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns burned fiercely before him, transforming into the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts that likewise surrounded Linley.
"Spatial Distortion!"
In the end, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had gotten the first move and completed the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns one step ahead.
In an instant, the space within a ten-thousand-meter radius around Light Chief Sovereign Augusta became completely still.
Within this range, the only one capable of moving was Augusta, who had used the technique.
Even Linley, because he happened to be within this ten-thousand-meter range, was affected by the spatial imprisonment and became frozen within the spatial turbulence.
The opening move of Spatial Distortion was spatial stillness.
However, after controlling Linley, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta did not take the opportunity to unleash the subsequent moves of Spatial Distortion and attack Linley. Instead, he used the latter half of the technique to flee at high speed.
Clearly, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta also knew that with Spatial Distortion alone, it was impossible for him to kill Linley.
Especially since Linley likewise possessed the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
Sure enough, as Augusta transformed into a streak of light and fled, the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts around Linley finally completed their fusion.
A powerful force was added to Linley's body.
"Crack, crack..."
The same power capable of imprisoning space was now being used by Linley to break through the space sealed by Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.
At this moment, with Linley at the center, the space that had been frozen when Light Chief Sovereign Augusta previously unleashed Spatial Distortion was like a painting covered in all kinds of vivid colors, being torn apart from one of its corners.
Black cracks spread outward from Linley.
In the end, like shattered glass, the frozen space broke apart into tangible fragments, leaving a dark and silent spatial void beside Linley.
Several breaths later, the surrounding spatial turbulence surged like a tide, restoring the damaged spatial turbulence here.
"Don't think you're getting away!"
Linley slashed out with his sword. The soul attack from the latter half of the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns transformed into a white sword light and shot toward Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.
Unfortunately, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta was carrying the power of the latter half of the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, accelerating his escape. On Linley's side, he had been held back for several breaths by the spatial stillness of the fused innate divine ability, while his subsequent attack had not directly locked onto Light Chief Sovereign Augusta. He could only use his divine sense as a guide to pursue Augusta from behind.
When Light Chief Sovereign Augusta saw this, another four drops of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns appeared beside him as he flew at high speed.
"Just how much divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns does this guy have?"
Linley's expression darkened, and the hatred he felt toward his own foolishness ten thousand years ago grew even stronger.
If not for himself, where would Light Chief Sovereign Augusta have gotten the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns?
Now, this very thing had become the means by which Light Chief Sovereign Augusta escaped Linley's pursuit.
...
In the Infernal Realm, Linley's Wind divine clone had already knocked his mother, Lina, unconscious and sealed her Angel Heart.
This way, even if Light Chief Sovereign Augusta issued some command to Lina through their soul connection that could harm Linley's family, Lina would not have the ability to carry it out.
Within the Skyrite Mountains, only Linley's Wind divine clone could accomplish this.
Looking up at the sky, although this divine clone of Linley was not strong enough for his divine sense to pass out of the Infernal Realm and enter the spatial turbulence to observe the battle between his original body and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, he and his original body and the other three Sovereign bodies were one entity.
Through his original body's vision, he could still see the battle in the spatial turbulence.
Seeing Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff rapidly approaching Augusta, Linley's expression became slightly solemn.
Linley had already gained a certain understanding of Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's strength ten thousand years ago, when Orloff had fought Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred.
If Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was not hiding his strength, then in his normal state, he was only about ten times stronger than Linley.
Even if Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff used the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, Linley felt that he had a certain ability to resist him before the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns was exhausted. He would not be killed by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
If Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff were allowed to meet up with Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, Linley probably would have no chance of killing Augusta today.
Just as Linley's Wind divine clone was considering whether he should find a Rule Chief Sovereign as an ally to hold Orloff back, Linley suddenly sensed a trace of danger.
"Bang!"
The space before Linley seemed to be pierced open by something, and an object carrying unmatched might shot toward him.
"Hm?"
Linley raised an eyebrow. Although this divine clone of his was not a Paragon, he possessed three Sovereign divine clones and three portions of Will Power originating from Sovereign sparks. This made Linley's Wind Sovereign divine clone a hundred times stronger than an ordinary Paragon.
The object that had pierced through space could pose a fatal threat to a Paragon.
But to Linley, it was merely a piece of gravel that he could block with a casual raise of his hand.
Linley extended his right hand and grabbed the object attacking him, intending to crush it.
However, contrary to Linley's expectations, the object made his palm ache, yet showed not the slightest sign of being damaged.
"What is this?"
At Linley's level of strength, aside from Sovereign artifacts and divine sparks, this was the first time his Wind Sovereign divine clone had encountered something he could not destroy.
Opening his palm, Linley's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the object lying within it.
"This is, a Sovereign spark?"
As someone who had already refined three Sovereign sparks, it was impossible for Linley not to recognize one.
What shocked Linley even more was that this Sovereign spark was actually a Wind Sovereign spark perfectly suited to his divine clone.
What kind of luck was this?
He had merely been standing here, and a Sovereign spark had actually been delivered right to his door?
However, Linley quickly reacted.
Was this really luck?
In the entire universe, probably only Lord Locke, who had already completely surpassed the Sovereigns and was said to have entered the realm of the Overgods, could know where the Sovereign sparks in the universe that had not yet been refined were located, and then deliver one into his hands in this manner.
It seemed that Lord Locke knew about his current predicament, but because of his previous statement that he would only intervene on his behalf once, he had found this Sovereign spark for him and allowed him to resolve his own affairs!
With one more Sovereign divine clone, his strength would increase a hundredfold.
In that case, his strength in his normal state would instead become more than ten times greater than Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's!
Perhaps Chief Sovereign Locke also could not stand the way Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had acted?
After forming this guess, Linley did not waste any time. He directly cut his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the Sovereign spark in his hand.
"Buzz..."
As expected, this was a Lesser Wind Sovereign spark.
The Sovereign spark transformed into a streak of rainbow light and flew into Linley's mind, entering his soul space and rapidly replacing Linley's divine spark.
Then, powerful Will Power surged out from his body.
His expression turned solemn. Linley casually tore open a spatial rift, entered the spatial turbulence, transformed into a streak of light, and flew toward the Celestial Realm.
...
"Boom!"
Orloff extended his hand. Golden light enveloped his palm, and with a single slap, he shattered the sword light Linley had unleashed.
"Alas, we were one step too late!"
Behind him, the Sovereigns who witnessed this scene could not help sighing inwardly.
No one had expected that Light Chief Sovereign Augusta would actually possess so much of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
Every time Chief Sovereign Linley was about to close in on him, he would unleash the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, using the innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns to freeze the surrounding space before taking the opportunity to flee.
All the Sovereigns who witnessed this scene felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
Only afterward did they realize that the situation in the spatial turbulence at this moment was almost exactly the same as when Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had pursued the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns more than one hundred thousand years ago.
The only difference was that back then, Augusta had been the one doing the pursuing.
Now, Augusta was the one fleeing for his life.
Back then, Azure Dragon Sovereign Lehman of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns had used his innate divine ability to slow Light Chief Sovereign Augusta down and buy time for them to escape.
Now, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta was using the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns to freeze the surrounding space and buy time for himself to escape.
No one could have imagined that in merely a little more than one hundred thousand years, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta would come to understand what was meant by "what goes around comes around."
Linley was a member of the Four Divine Beasts clan and could, at least, be considered a descendant of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
His pursuit of Light Chief Sovereign Augusta could also be regarded as avenging the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
However, the final outcome of Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns was vastly different.
Because of their own circumstances, the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns did not have many Sovereign friends.
Thus, when they fell into danger, no Sovereigns came forward to help them escape Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's pursuit.
Light Chief Sovereign Augusta was different. He seemed to have a very deep, unknown relationship with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
Over the years, either Light Chief Sovereign Augusta owed Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff a favor, or Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff owed Light Chief Sovereign Augusta a favor in return.
Looking at how Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had repeatedly stepped forward to support Light Chief Sovereign Augusta whenever Augusta encountered a crisis, everyone had stopped pursuing the matter with Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.
This time was no different.
With Augusta buying time, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff successfully caught up!
