Chapter 2036 Griffins

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Griffins.

The moment they appeared, Lu'Card felt as though his Dragon's Pride was provoked.

The rivalry between Dragons and Qilins was well documented. There was simply no escaping that.

However, it could be said that the Dragons had a rivalry with anyone who tried to suppress them in any way.

The Qilins were existences who relied on the Judgment of the Heavens. For Dragons, who represented rebelling against the Heavens, this was a huge insult and

unacceptable.

By comparison, the Griffins represented Order, structure, Sovereignty... they were antithetical to everything that the Dragons were as well.

Lu'Card was here for one reason and one reason only. He wanted to become the next Dragon Emperor.

After realizing that the world was far larger than he thought, he changed his goal from wanting to become a Dragon Emperor of the True Martial World to a Dragon Emperor of all worlds.

However, the reason he wanted to be a Dragon Emperor and not just a normal

Emperor was that he believed Dragons were superior to all Races, not because he only had such limited ambition.

Meaning...

His Path wouldn't allow him to be passive when there was some bastard looking above his head, trying to stamp on it.

He was provoked immediately by the mere auras of the Griffin Race.

And he wouldn't stand for it.

No amount of cursing from Ianjor was going to change anything.

Eska looked toward Lu'Card's rushing figure and shook her head. This was indeed what Ryu said would happen. And as expected, it would make things trickier. After all, there weren't just Lords in there; there were Sovereigns and Dao Gods.

These weren't the normal Sovereigns that Lu'Card could just barely fight if he had to. These were existences from a world three Tiers above this one. It wasn't a gap that Lu'Card could bridge just because he was enraged.

But no amount of talking would change things either.

"The Griffins... I've been waiting a long time..."

Ailsa's soft voice echoed through the skies. Despite its delicate nature, it carried a rumbling power to it.

The Ruin Master Guild, which already felt like she had given them all they could handle, felt a shudder in their hearts.

That was because Ailsa's aura suddenly deepened to another level. It took a step forward as though she had been treating them like children all this time, and her crimson eyes flared with life.

With a tap of her feet, an eight trigram diagram appeared. However, unlike Ryu's, it continued to rapidly expand, moving so quickly that it seemed like it would swallow up the entire world.

At that moment, the meteors in the skies froze, the destruction on the land came to a stop, and even the winds in the skies slowed to a crawl.

Ailsa only took a light, airy breath, no different from any of the others she had taken... and then the world bloomed with light.

Greenery overflowed, trees grew to tens of times their original height, and clouds dispersed to reveal sunrays that sparkled with ruby crystals.

"[Cultus Dominion]... [Cultus Reign]... [Reverse]..."

Every light word caused another change to the world on a scale that was shocking to an extreme.

And then, the Griffins that had split the skies open found themselves trapped and forcefully teleported.

All at once, several Dao God Griffins were enveloped by Runes. They shattered them one after another, only to find that it was never enough.

Soon, they were dragged into Ailsa's prison, trapped within the walls with her.

In the skies, all that were left were the Lords and Sovereigns.

Lu'Card's roars filled the skies as he was just about to clash with the first line of Griffins. It was as though he didn't notice the change at all. Or rather, maybe he would have rather died to the Dao God Griffins than back down in the face of this aura.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Eska didn't move, looking up and into the skies. Originally, Mae and Selheira weren't supposed to come. Their experience was too low, and they weren't quite ready.

But since they insisted on doing so, Ryu had chosen to let them make their own decisions. As for whether that was a mistake or not, only time would tell. Regardless, if there was anyone he trusted to keep them safe... it was Eska.

As for why...

A subtle wind whipped up around Eska. It didn't seem to be a part of any of the other destruction taking place in the surroundings and practically had a mind of its own.

However, soon, it became far less subtle, growing stronger and stronger until suddenly, her long white hair was dancing in the air.

It was about time she returned.

BOOM!

A hole was torn through the skies, and claps of thunder echoed. Streaking lightning flashed with a deep black hue, sending shivers up the spine of anyone that had seen

them before.

Returning to Lordship, Sovereignty, and Godhood beyond wasn't as easy of a feat as it should have been for someone who had lived as long as Eska.

For one, she had never made it so far in the first place. The system of Sacrum didn't have such Realms.

Second, she had to consider Isemeine's foundation as well.

And third was tied into the second reason, Eska's existence itself was already a Taboo in and of itself. She was an existence that had extended her life through the use of an Immortal Jade and had quasi-stolen a body for her use after the fact.

Regardless of what Heaven she was beneath, she was an intolerable existence, and this was another reason why her cultivation had been so slow and steady until now. Otherwise, with how long they had been back by Ryu's side by now, reaching these stages of cultivation should have been easy.

But now, after all this time, it was finally the right moment.

The world shook, and Lu'Card found himself stopping his charge. If he continued, he would ram right into Eska's Tribulation.

It was clear that this had been done on purpose.
