Book 6: Chapter 212: Aura (2)
Angelica completely trusted these words. The distance from here to the Epistemic Tower and further toward the Rainbow tower was too far for normal communication devices. But, these burning letter were the secret communication method the Golden Crow Sect. They wouldn’t be used unless there was an absolute emergency.
Suddenly, Angelica felt torn. But, she made her decision immediately. Even if she went, the result would likely be the same as it was today. However, if she captured Madeleine, there was still a chance to reverse all of this. In fact, God Sacharro might become angered enough to aim his rage at the Flaming Lily Sect for not protecting his wife properly.
‘It’s her. This all starts and ends with her.’ Angelica’s eyes frosted over, deepening to a level of cold even they hadn’t reached before. Despite her state of mind, her face returned to its usual expressionless nature. ‘Why would a quadrant so powerful send the first wife of their most outstanding genius here? We don’t have enough information on the Celestial Deer Quadrant… Even the Sapientia Branches there have long since lost communication with the main branch.’
There were too many things that were unknown. Could it really be as simple as the Celestial Deer Quadrant not having a strong fire-based core teaching? If that was the case, the Flaming Lily Sect really would be the best choice for Madeleine…
It was impossible for the fourth quadrant to travel to the current 51st. Without the easy travel provided by the towers, such a trip would cost an astronomical price and take an inconceivable amount of time. The only reason the kitsune could make this trip was because they were in the adjacent quadrant.
For reference, the first saint son of the Uidah and Loki’s fiancée, now widow, Hela, left the Celestial Deer Quadrant hundreds of years ago. If they tried to re-enter it now, even if they started from the closest adjacent quadrant, it would take them decades of travel time at a minimum.
Under normal circumstances, because the first saint son and Hela were at least of the Duke level, they should be able to enter the fog and invite others at will, which would greatly reduce their travel time. However, as the key wielder, Dyon obviously had the power to block this from happening.
At the same time, first saint son and Hela had a vested interest in making sure the truths of the Celestial Deer Quadrant did not come out. If the martial world came to know that even they as the strongest clans in their quadrant had no idea where their Epistemic Tower was, that would give possible enemies a chance to take advantage.
In the end, Angelica still wasn’t clever enough to come to the right answer. Even if she was a thousand times more intelligent, it wouldn’t matter. All she could do was focus on the task at hand, and that meant capturing Madeleine!
With a flick of her wrist, a blindingly gold, 3-meter-long flexible spear appeared in her hand. Its body almost functioned like a whip, snaking through the air as though it was made of fabric instead of tough metal.
Madeleine didn’t even need to look over to know that Angelica was flying toward her at break-neck speeds. Why? Because she had long since unlocked her divine sense.
In that moment, a formless pressure enveloped the battlefield. Vale and Rina who were still being beaten back by the second variation of [Peacock’s Dance] paled considerably when they felt what was happening. It felt as though a Celestial had descended from the skies!
‘Divine sense!’
Angelica and the two first ranked geniuses couldn’t believe what they were feeling. This was a pressure they only sensed when facing their clan elders, and yet, here it was!
Madeleine couldn’t use her divine sense to form will attacks at a distance like Clara could. It simply required too much soul talent… Madeleine had no idea how many decades it would take her to master such a technique, it might even take centuries!
However, what her divine sense could do was raise her senses to the utmost degree. Not a single thing on the battlefield was lost to her senses, even her own techniques became sharper as she saw through their flaws.
That said, Madeleine didn’t reveal her divine sense simply to intimidate and perceive. No. She revealed her divine sense to do something almost no saint could dream of doing.
The process of cultivation is, at its core, about learning more about the universe, comprehending wills and energies to a deeper extent. When one reaches the celestial realm, their comprehension reaches such a level that they can even carve out a piece of this martial world to call their own. This celestial reserved technique is known as an Aura or a Pseudo-Domain.
In his fight against the Aumen King, it was this deployment of a Pseudo-Domain that King Belmont used to slightly alter the laws of the universe, allowing him to fuse his blue and red flames together.
By all conventional means, reaching this state should be impossible for a saint. Their energy reserves aren’t powerful enough, nor is their comprehension of the universe deep enough. However, Madeleine was no normal saint.
At that moment, a blazing purple heat erupted from Madeleine’s body, mixing with a blinding star light. Half and half, they formed a massive purple and star-like sphere that encompassed the hundred-meter radius around her.
When Angelica and the two first ranked geniuses saw this, they immediately paled. There was no time for exclamations, no time for remorse, or apologizing…
The first time Madeleine used her purple flames in battle was the first time they realized that Madeleine didn’t only have a single 6th stage intent… The truth was she had a 7th stage intent… No, she had three of them…
The battle had no suspense.
