Chapter 276: Forsaken Domain and It’s Eight Part!!!
Forsaken Domain and It’s Eight Part!!!
Leon unconsciously compared her to the women he knew.
Selena possessed unmatched elegance and determination.
Rias carried a fiery charm that could brighten any room.
Maya had a gentle yet teasing beauty that resembled a blooming lotus.
Amaya possessed maturity and grace despite her age.
Fairy Fiona was renowned throughout many lands for her appearance.
Yet standing before this mysterious woman...
For the first time, Leon found himself completely taken aback.
His heartbeat actually paused for a moment.
Not from love.
Not from desire.
But from pure astonishment.
It was the natural reaction one would have after witnessing something unimaginably beautiful.
The women he knew were undoubtedly stunning.
But this woman felt different.
Unique.
As though she did not belong among mortals.
As though heaven itself had spent countless ages crafting a single flawless creation.
Even Leon had to admit it.
She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
"Interesting..."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"What kind of background does someone like this have?"
Yet despite her breathtaking appearance, there was something else that caught his attention.
Coldness.
Not the coldness of personality.
Not arrogance.
But an overwhelming pressure.
An invisible aura that naturally pushed others away.
It was as though she existed in a completely different world.
A world nobody else could enter.
Even from this distance, Leon could feel it.
The chill surrounding her seemed capable of freezing heaven and earth.
Even Selena’s Divine Ice Bones could not compare to it.
The difference was simply too great.
The more he observed, the more surprised he became.
From her displayed strength, Leon could roughly judge her cultivation.
Mid-stage pinnacle Realm.
At minimum.
Perhaps even stronger.
Very strong.
Extremely strong.
Each movement contained an indescribable dominance.
Not recklessness.
Not brutality.
Absolute confidence.
The confidence of someone who had never doubted victory.
Leon searched his memories.
He knew many famous experts throughout the Forsaken Domain.
He had heard countless stories from his late Teacher, Zeon.
He had also listened to Headmaster Mike speak of ancient powerhouses whose names shook entire eras.
Over the years, Leon had read numerous forgotten records hidden within Celestis Academy’s archives.
Yet despite all that knowledge, he could not recognize the mysterious woman before him. Her existence seemed to have appeared from nowhere, like a hidden moon that had suddenly risen above the world.
"Strange..."
Leon frowned slightly.
"Who exactly is she?"
Unable to identify her origins, he moved to the side.
A giant ancient tree stood at the edge of the battlefield.
Its roots stretched deep into the ruins.
Leon landed silently atop one of its branches.
His midnight robes fluttered lightly.
The amethyst embroidery along their edges glowed faintly beneath the chaotic light of battle.
From here, he could observe everything clearly.
Only then did his attention shift toward the second combatant.
The opponent facing the mysterious woman was an elderly man.
His body appeared thin and frail.
Almost like a dried branch.
Yet nobody would dare underestimate him.
His aura alone was enough to crush countless experts.
In his hand rested a strange four-legged statue.
Ancient runes covered its surface.
Every time he activated it, devastating energy exploded outward.
The old man’s fists moved like thunder.
Each strike distorted space itself.
The void cracked repeatedly beneath his attacks.
His cultivation was equally astonishing.
Mid-stage pinnacle Realm.
No weaker than the pink-haired woman.
The battle between them grew increasingly intense.
The old man roared.
The four-legged statue expanded instantly.
Thousands of meters of golden light illuminated the sky.
The woman remained expressionless.
She simply lifted her hand.
A massive palm descended from heaven.
Boom!
The collision shook the entire Domain.
Leon nearly laughed from excitement.
This was the battle he had been hoping to see.
No schemes.
No hidden tricks.
Just two absolute experts confronting one another.
The old man retreated several steps through the air.
The mysterious woman remained unmoved.
Her pink hair danced in the wind.
Her expression never changed.
That calmness somehow made her even more terrifying.
Leon folded his arms.
His purple eyes remained fixed on the battlefield.
Countless questions filled his mind.
Who was she?
Where did she come from?
Why was such a powerful woman fighting inside the Martial Emperor Tomb?
And why had he never heard of her before?
The more he watched, the more curious he became.
After observing for several moments, he finally glanced toward the old man again.
His appearance also felt unfamiliar.
Neither combatant seemed to belong to any force Leon knew.
That realization alone was enough to shock him.
A woman powerful enough to dominate a pinnacle expert.
An old man capable of fighting her evenly.
Yet neither existed in his memories.
Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Which immortal mountain or sect’s is this elder from? Why haven’t I heard Master mention it before..."
Leon was genuinely puzzled.
Standing atop a shattered ancient tree overlooking the battlefield, he watched the battle unfold beneath the blood-red sky of the Martial Emperor Tomb. Black clouds rolled endlessly overhead like a sea of darkness, while violent Mana storms tore across the ruined land.
The pink-haired woman and the elderly expert exchanged blows that could destroy mountains with ease.
Every collision caused the earth to tremble.
Every wave of power distorted space itself.
Yet neither side showed any sign of weakness.
Leon narrowed his eyes.
His late teacher, Zeon, had once spent countless evenings explaining the great experts of the world to him. Many records hidden within Celestis Academy had also described the pinnacle figures of the Fallen Leaf Domain.
However, neither of these two matched any description he knew.
The techniques they used...
The aura they carried...
Even their fighting styles felt foreign.
"They aren’t from the Fallen Leaf Domain..."
