Chapter 558 - Troublemaker
Blue Luans flocked over to take the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow while the Transcendent-level Three-Legged Golden Crows followed after and attacked them from behind.
It could be seen that a steady chain of command existed within the ranks of the Blue Luans while the Three-Legged Golden Crow just followed their instincts.
Even so, it still allowed them to help their Paragon-level monarch indirectly.
Swoosh~! Swoosh~!
Blood splashed and rained while bursts of solid winds hammered against Leon\'s body, pushing him and Duna further and further away from the epicenter of the Paragon-level battle.
The war between two bird races was fierce, but the intensity was dropping. Given time, one side will fall while the other stands victorious—that, or the two Paragons both fall in battle!
Either way, Leon was not interested in sticking around to find out!
They were like stalks of grass flapping in the wind, not knowing when a single instance could cost them their lives.
After spotting an opening, his eyes immediately brightened, "This is our chance to leave!"
With that said, he immediately darted through the gap that existed on the Blue Luan\'s side and flew away from the big battlefield in the sky!
"Hey, hey! Aren\'t you interested in watching such an exciting battle of this magnitude?" Duna quickly asked with a disappointed expression as they flew further and further away.
A wry smile appeared on Leon\'s face before he helplessly said, "You might be tired of living, but I\'m not."
"But I\'m a ghost! How can I still be considered living?" Duna argued.
"Your body is dead, but isn\'t your soul still alive?" Leon\'s lips twitched slightly before adding, "You can still die a second time if your soul is destroyed, no?"
"You\'re no fun at all." Duna spat with a crumpled expression while looking back.
At the same time, Leon furrowed his brows slightly in thought.
The souls of Divine Origin Realm Practitioners and beyond were strong enough for them to exist without their mortal flesh for a period of time, giving them time to find a new vessel to possess and revive themselves.
By this train of reasoning, would Duna and Lumi be able to grant themselves a second chance at life if they were also able to find a suitable living vessel to possess?
Nevertheless, it was only a short passing thought before Leon shook his head of the idea.
Duna and Lumi were fundamentally different from Divine Practitioners, who had their divine bodies destroyed.
It could be said that Duna and Lumi\'s souls were of the Yin alignment, while the Divine Practitioners\' souls were of the Yang alignment.
As such, it should not be possible for Duna and Lumi to revive themselves completely.
That being said, there was still much to learn about the soul and the universe as a whole. Nothing was impossible unless proven otherwise.
…
Shortly after, Leon and Duna broke out from the clouds of the troposphere layer before the surface region was revealed to them.
"Is this still the Western Frontier?" Leon muttered in shock.
An enormous rift replaced the blackened ground outside of the Great Wall while a roughly 10-thousand ft stretch of the metal wall hung over empty space.
The burden of the Great Wall\'s weight could be seen as it formed a slightly downward curved after losing the support of its foundation.
At the same time, Duna glanced down at the devastation in the region before she whistled, "Wow, those mighty birds sure did some damage in this place. It\'s almost unrecognizable."
"I hope everyone is safe." Leon smiled bitterly at Duna\'s nonchalant attitude before they descended towards the Great Wall.
Within the enormous chasm of the formed rift, radiant heat of molten earth and frigid mist of frozen soil continued to clash at the center.
"The power of golden flames and frigid snow is quite strong in these two Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow and Blue Luans. It seems they have awakened a fair bit of the latent power within their ancient bloodline. Is this due to their own efforts or the change brought by the Cataclysm?" Leon mulled.
"Leon!" A familiar voice called in the distance before Leon noticed Aria\'s figure shooting over on her ice-lightning sword.
However, after Aria discovered Leon\'s back was occupied by a beautiful lady of pale skin, her excitement dampened before she came to a screeching stop in front of him instead of diving into his arms.
"Aria." Leon smiled affectionately before his eyes brightened at once, "You broke through to Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent?"
"Mmn…" Aria nodded and wanted to share her experience with Leon, but she restrained herself as they were not alone.
Her gaze slowly shifted to Duna with a slight frown.
"Hm?"
Duna seemed to have noticed something from Aria\'a gaze and gave her a provocative and teasing smile after a quick smooch on Leon\'s cheeks and wrapping her arms around his neck more firmly.
Aria\'s expression immediately froze.
Shortly after, she shifted her gaze back to Leon with a questioning look before he sweated. He could feel the gunpowder in the air.
Aria was usually quite accommodating, but at that moment, there were subtle hints of displeasure in her eyes.
After Leon quickly realized Duna was provoking her, he punished her with a tight squeeze on her rear.
Unfortunately for Leon, not only did his action failed to stop Duna\'s provocation, it even encouraged her as she let out a seductive cry, "Ahn~! You\'re so naughty, Leon."
He immediately cursed in his mind before throwing Duna off his back.
Duna drew an arc in the air before landing gracefully on her feet some distance away like her body was weightless.
However, this was not truly the case after she began building her corporeal body with Leon\'s pseudo-Grandmist Energy.
"Sheesh, so angry. It was just a joke… But alas, some people are just too sensitive," Duna shrugged nonchalantly before she stopped paying attention to the both of them, hopping on the Great Wall\'s edge to observe the chasm below.
Leon found himself quite dismayed by Duna, this troublemaker.
After rubbing his forehead with distress for a moment, he returned his attention to Aria and asked, "How\'s the situation? Is everyone alright?"
