Chapter 2409 Void Dust Island

"You bastards. I will make you pay for this humiliation."

Gerard Bloodcloud raged as a mere subordinate from the Lumin Family whipped him in the face thrice. However, the subordinate just sneered and flogged him with a brilliant light whip again.

"I'll keep beating you until you're ready to confess, idiot!"

Davis glanced at the sight of punishment being stamped upon the cultivators from the Bloodcloud Family. Each whipping left a layer of charred skin that would make one's blood run cold.

He could feel the intensity of the light energy leaving a significant trail on its targets, making him aware the Lumin Family people were quite strong. Their aura was reminiscent of the Zyrus Family's group he had seen because there was some coherence to it.

Even if people were family, one couldn't notice that through their aura. However, in the case of Zyrus Family cultivators, Davis did sense a familiar aura from all of them as though it was some kind of print, which was their bloodline aura.

The Lumin Family was the same as Zyrus Family, having an ancestral bloodline, or so he came to a conclusion.

Nonetheless, with Gerard Bloodcloud and his subordinates releasing a similar kind of aura, although not entirely as each and every individual's aura was different, he also assumed that they possessed an ancestral bloodline. More importantly…

"Even when sealed, the cultivators of Bloodcloud Family still radiate a kind of pressure. What is this about?"

Davis asked, causing the disinterested population to suddenly raise their brows as they all turned to look at him as though this easy journey finally had something interesting going on.

"That's bloodline pressure, as you must've guessed." Farle Lumin responded.

"But how so?"

Davis raised his brows, causing Farle Lumin to blink.

"You don't know the Bloodcloud Family?"

"Of course, I know they are descendants of an ancestor with a physique like the Zyrus Family and your family. However, the Zyrus Family or your family didn't exude this kind of pressure on one's blood."

"Yes, that's because the Bloodcloud Family's bloodline is from a powerful immortal who had the Blood-Attribute Physique known as the Blood Tempest Physique. When humans reach immortality, their blood is no longer the same, able to mix with all kinds of races as it intrinsically changes. That's why their aura also exudes their bloodline's specialty, inducing a special aura that suppresses the nature of similar beings, which is us, humans."

Farle Lumin explained and added with a smug smile, "That's why you also wouldn't see this phenomenon happening in blood-attributed mortal physiques."

However, what Mo Tian said next had his smile freeze over.f reeweb novel.com

"Doesn't that mean that those blood physiques are basically nobles of the immortal human race…?"

"Ahaha!" The tied-up Gerard Bloodcloud burst into a fit of laughter, "For a foolish rogue cultivator, you are smart to understand that much..."

"Shut up!"

"Arghh!"

With Gerard Bloodcloud receiving a whip to remind his place, he became silent again, his eyes seething with hatred as he glanced at everyone in the vicinity.

Seeing that he shut up, Farle Lumin continued.

"It could be said that way, but obviously, this suppression is like the same as King-Tier Feys of part human blood having an edge on us. At the end of the day, only the accumulation of absolute power could be said to be the emperor."

"Sounds about right, just like the only reason we're keeping these fools alive is because of the backing they possess."

"Indeed. I want to kill them, but I'm afraid that I'll bring trouble to my power."

"And that's why Gerard Bloodcloud doesn't shut his mouth. He knows that you will not end his life very well. Do you two hold a grudge or something?"

"…" Farle Lumin's brows fell, "We do clash from time to time, but I didn't know he would go as far as to put an assassination bounty on my head."

Davis displayed an unabashed smile, "What are you afraid of? You don't want to be seen as relying on your power?

"…"

Farle Lumin didn't know how to respond to that sly smile. It was like Mo Tian held a terrific plan that would twist heaven and earth, and even though he didn't know why he felt like that but still felt like opening up.

"It's not like that. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an Immortal King from our power outside waiting for us. Instead, I want this to be an opportunity to increase my wealth and influence, finding a way to increase the purity of my bloodline that stems from the Immortal Grade Luminous Ray Physique. After all, my sight isn't outside but inside the Lumin Family."

"Internal discord is such a… ugh..." Davis rolled his eyes as he groaned, seemingly having his own back story.

This made the others imagine what kind of life he could've lived to be this strong.

But in essence, Davis was truly sighing because he didn't wish for his family to be like that, and yet, he could see it coming after a few generations.

That was just how life was.

Farle Lumin wryly laughed in response, wondering how much of an internal discord Mo Tian could be facing as a rogue cultivator with a small family. The scale of his Lumin Family was in the millions, and there were hundreds of top geniuses like him spread out with their hands tight, only so much so resources allocated to them.

The only way they could distinguish themselves was for them to become a heavenly genius, not in the mortal realm but in the immortal realm, but such a dream was nothing but a fleeting cloud that couldn't be grasped.

Nonetheless, he was a bit disappointed as Mo Tian offered no advice even after he waited for a while.

Their speed picked up as they came across a spatial sea where the flow was advantageous to them.

The waves were purplish-gray in color and looked mystically beautiful. They were on a flying boat, sailing through this spatial ocean.

It quickly carried them into the distance and saved them half a day's worth of traveling time, but usually, this would be a death trap as there would be spatial blades slicing through the sea like a shark's head popping up from nowhere.

Not only Davis but everyone was in awe over the nature of this secret realm. The whole experience was wonderful and made them smile like naive youths on an excursion.

Nonetheless, their half a day's worth of lightness was over as they reached a floating island where the spatial aura was extremely dense, the shore filled with void dust more than what they crossed through.

*Boom~*

Distant explosions could be heard as many undulations clashed in the distance.

"Quick, let's go. The battle for the Void Dust Tree Fruit must've started…!"

Farle Lumin and the others rushed into the distance, leaving Davis alone on the flying boat that got stranded on the island.

He looked around, noticing many rare spatial type herbs, marking them with his soul to secure them later. He was about to leave when he blinked and turned around, looking at two innocent-looking grown men staring at him.

"What the… you two haven't left?"

"Hehe." Rayleigh's expression became unabashed, "How can we leave boss and head to take the treasures for ourselves?"

"Boss, a slap a day keeps a man awake!"

Davis pulled his head back over Rayleigh and the wind cultivator calling him boss. He still didn't know the wind cultivator's name but couldn't help but chuckle.

"You shameless scoundrels. It is usually I who try to take advantage of people, but for the moment, I'll let you ride on my boat. However, don't blame me if you get yourselves killed because of it."

"Boss is mighty!" Rayleigh and the wind cultivator cheered.

They followed him to the distance, quickly arriving at the battlefield. As for the Bloodcloud Family cultivators, they were hidden and knocked out within the flying boat.

Despite the chaotic battle going on, the first thing Davis and the others laid their eyes on was the fifty-meter tall tree in the distance.

Its trunk was brownish-purple, and its leaves were mesmerizingly violet. The tree was rooted to the ground, but the soil was void dust itself, teeming with spatial energy. It was its main source of nutrients.

But the most important of them all, there was a giant three-meter radius fruit hanging at the topmost branch, exuding the phenomenons of the starry skies as in one moment, its bare outer layer represented the stars and at other moments, the empty void as a vortex appeared.

The fruit filled with spatial energy appeared to be alive, filled with mysteries of the space that caused the air above the tree to manifest into a starry sky.
