Chapter 571 - Weightless Like The Void
"So, you just leave him? I am honestly disappointed in you," Duna said to Aria before she demanded with an extended hand, "Give it to me."
Aria bit her lips.
Duna\'s words stabbed right into her heart.
At the same time, she knew precisely what Duna wanted and passed the pendant device that allowed her to ignore the suppressive force and fly freely in the high skies.
"Your hand…" Aria suddenly noticed one of Duna\'s hands was missing.
However, Duna was nonchalant about it, "It\'s nothing. Just a result of using a power too strong for me to control freely at my present level.
"As I thought, only I can help him. You should have given this to me straight from the start!" Duna spat after wearing the pendant device.
Swish~!
She took off into the sky immediately.
After Aria watched Duna\'s figure disappear into the clouds, Supreme Elder Haldir tapped her on the shoulder, "There\'s no need to feel bad. No matter what choice you made, they were both respectable in their own way.
"I don\'t think she will be able to catch up. I can only believe in Leon—believe that he still has some trump cards up his sleeve to deal with the Three-Legged Golden Crow." Aria sighed.
Of course, there was also the Blue Luans that followed after.
However, Aria did not have high hopes for these proud birds. The strongest amongst them only possessed 7 million jins worth of strength.
It still fell short by 2 million compared to the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Even worse, the Blue Luans were suppressed by the Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s golden flames—such is the relationship between two mutually opposing elements.
Only one side needed to be slightly stronger in order to suppress the other side.
"Yes, we can only believe in the young prince," Supreme Elder Haldir nodded before he said, "However, there is still something for us to do instead of waiting idly."
His gaze felt the remaining couple of hundred Three-Legged Golden Crows getting swarmed by the few thousand Blue Luans.
"You\'re right," Aria nodded with a sharp glint and rising battle spirit. All her unhappy feelings were transferred to the Three-Legged Golden Crows.
Shing—!
Twenty ice-lightning swords were conjured in a split second before Aria shot off on one of them like a white flash of lightning.
Supreme Elder Haldir shook his head slightly before joining the closing battle.
…
Meanwhile, Leon continued to fly upwards, fleeing from the pursuing Three-Legged Golden Crow hot on his tails.
In a short while, Leon re-entered the expansive mesosphere layer that loomed above the highest of clouds.
However, the Three-Legged Golden Crow showed no sign of deterrence and continued to chase with increasing speed.
The gap between Leon and the Three-Legged Golden Crow was reduced by the moments.
"Tch! As expected, the mesosphere layer is its domain," Leon narrowed his eyes with a decisive glint, "But let me see how long you can continue to chase me in such cold weathers!"
The mesosphere was known for having the lowest temperature—reaching almost negative 100 degrees Celsius!
Swoosh~!
Leon pushed his speed to the limit and shot through the mesosphere layer with increased momentum, reducing the rate at which the distance between him and the Three-Legged Golden Crow closes.
Caw!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow cried.
"You are starting to feel the cold pain, are ya?" Leon smirked for a moment before his expression abruptly reverted to a solemn one.
The Three-Legged Golden Crow stubbornly persisted in its chase, not resting until it catches Leon and tear him apart with its own claws.
However, Leon had a bigger problem on his hands.
The suppressive force in the mesosphere layer continued to rise rapidly with every increase in altitude, causing the pendant device to reach the limits of its effectiveness.
It shook vigorously on the verge of breaking before he tried to reinforce it with Divine Will and prevent it from collapsing with his sheer will.
The pendant device was quickly calmed.
"It won\'t be possible to produce another Demonic Array in this situation even though the Wrathful Demonic Energies in the air is denser. The rapid movement will quickly cause its collapse." Leon analyzed for a solution.
"Furthermore, there are no clouds. It won\'t be possible to form thunderclouds for Tier 3 Heaven\'s Wrath," Leon mused before questioning himself, "What can I do?"
It did not take long before Leon pulled out an ancient bone and tossed it down at the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Bang!
The ancient bone struck the Three-Legged Golden Crow with impressive momentum and force like some extremely powerful ballistic missile!
Caw!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow cried in anguish.
Some distance was created between them before Leon pulled out another ancient bone and tossed it with great power!
Bang!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow was struck again!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Leon continued firing ancient bones at the Three-Legged Golden Crow one after the other. He never thought that he would be using the ancient bones like this, but it is what it is.
Caw!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow surged with golden flames, but it failed to reach Leon at all.
The sheer difference in the high mesosphere layer\'s suppressive force and the Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s rising speed immediately caused its golden flames to be snuffed out in an instance.
Before Leon could feel any rejoice, he suddenly felt like he hit a wall in the sky.
Ka-cha!
In that instance, the pendant device shattered beyond the state of repair, and an enormous gravitational pressure poured down on him.
Bam!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow slammed straight into Leon\'s body shortly after!
The impact nearly obliterated his consciousness as all his bones shattered, and blood spurted from all his orifice!
The strength of a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent was not something he could withstand!
At the same time, the Three-Legged Golden Crow gave him that final push to break through the invisible barrier, propelling him beyond the mesosphere layer.
But none of that seemed to matter when death seemed to be around the corner.
Even so, what awaited Leon in the ionosphere was not an even more terrifying suppressive force but nothing.
Nothing at all.
His body floated weightlessly in the ionosphere like he was drifting through the void.
