Chapter 778 - Water-Type Celestial Power

Leon gave the dark faes a sweeping glance before adding, "It seems none of you have yet to check it out; why haven't you?"

"Since we suspected the building to be a Demon King-level Tomb, we weren't confident in challenging it due to the hidden dangers, my lord. As you know, we aren't qualified to clear Demon Lord-level Tombs at our level, let alone a Demon King-level Tomb." 

Saresha answers.

"It's good to be prudent." 

Leon nods with acknowledgment as he inspects the temple building of classical architecture riddled with runic engravings and glows with an ethereal blue hue similar to some starlight in the night sky beyond the debris rings of Gaia.

Without a doubt, the support-circuit building looks extraordinary at a glance, which is no surprise why the dark faes have mistaken it for a high-level tomb. 

"Although this isn't a Demon King-level Tomb, it still has its own hidden dangers installed," Leon explains after inspecting the entrance. 

A transparent barrier of soft blue light had sealed the entrance, blocking anyone and everyone from entering it and even warding off the dark energy in the surrounding. 

"Can you already tell what kind of hidden dangers are installed in this building, my lord?" Saresha asks with surprise.

However, Leon gave her a brief glance before shaking his head. 

"I can't tell all of its hidden dangers, but I can tell that this light barrier is definitely dangerous—at least to demons," he said. 

"As I thought, my lord is truly a demon; even my lord can the threatening vibe emanating from this blue light barrier," Saresha comments before nodding, "That's right, my lord. My clansmen and I both feel like the light barrier will kill us if we touch it." 

"Is that so? Well, I don't get that feeling," Leon stated. 

In that instance, he casually places his hand on the blue light barrier, touching it directly and stunning Saresha and everyone else.

Apart from the blue light barrier's energy suppressing and reducing his dark power, Leon felt no other changes.

"T-this… is this threatening feeling just an illusion the blue light barrier conjures?" 

The dark faes widen their eyes with surprise and wonder as they approach the blue light barrier to touch it and confirm their doubts. 

However, Leon obstructed it before they could touch it.

"You better not touch this blue light barrier if you don't want to lower your cultivation levels," Leon advises them. "As I said, this is not a Demon King-level Tomb. In fact, there's nothing demonic about this building."

Considering the blue light barrier can ward off dark energy and even suppress and destroy the dark energy inside him, it was safe to say that its energy was the opposite of dark energy in nature. 

"This starry-like energy that this blue light barrier emanates must be the celestial energy that celestials cultivate, but I wonder who set this up here. Was it the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor?" 

Leon curiously studies the blue light barrier in wonder.

'This Celestial Barrier is comprised of water-type celestial power while the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor uses sword-type celestial power, Master.' 

The Realm Spirit thoughtfully informs him.

'Sword-type celestial power?' Leon furrowed his brows with doubt. 

'I can feel strong Water Law in this water-type celestial power; even if the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor cultivates the sword, he must have ascended the Celestial Realm with a different element, no?' 

'No, Master, the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor truly did ascend the Celestial Realm with the sword; the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor is a sword cultivator who pursues the apex of Sword Law.'

The Realm Spirit informs.

'I see… so the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor was a fanatic of the sword, huh? I presume his position wasn't far from the Great Void Celestial Conqueror,' Leon speculates. 

Weapon law exists, but unlike other existing laws, weapon laws are self-created laws born through cultivators' strong wills and devoted beliefs. 

They were difficult to cultivate, but their power was equally great.

'The Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor was the leader of the Celestial Alliance, who led the Celestials' attack on the demons and started the war.'

After the Realm Spirit, Leon could not help but agree.

'That makes sense. The Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor's position had to be that high if he could possess a treasure like the Radiant Heaven Realmship. But then, what was the Great Void Celestial Conqueror's position? Was he not associated with the Celestial Alliance?' 

'The Great Void Celestial Conqueror is indeed associated with the Celestial Alliance, but the Great Void Celestial Conqueror never took up an official position in the Celestial Alliance. Even so, no Celestial would question his authority in the alliance.'

'I see…' 

Leon nodded with understanding, having gained some insight into the Celestial Alliance, but he shortly put the matter aside.

'Well, that's that,' Leon ended the topic there. 

Shortly after, he places his hand on the Celestial Barrier again. 

But unlike before, his fingers slowly slip through the sturdy barrier with the help of Nihility before he clenches his hand, shattering the barrier into countless sparkling starlights.

However, Leon felt like the water-type celestial energy was beneficial to him; thus, he absorbed it all into his Black Vortex Space.

'I'll study this later,' he decided. 

"Let us head in."

"Y-yes, my lord!"

After Leon casually removed the barrier, Saresha and the rest of the dark faes revealed their surprises before quickly following behind him with questions on their mind.

"M-my lord, was the barrier really dangerous for us demons? Why did you make it seem so easy in tearing it down?" Saresha asks.

"Celestial power is a type of light energy, the complete opposite of dark energy, so naturally, the two opposing energies will conflict and destroy each other," Leon explains. "As for why it was easy, it is because I have a special power. No need to ask further."

"Y-yes, sorry for prying, my lord. Saresha was too curious…" Saresha lowers her head in apology.

Not long after they entered the building, Leon's gaze fell on the large blue crystal in the center.
