Chapter 631: I wonder who 'he' is?



"It's fortunate I didn't pick that box."

Kyle murmured under his breath with a solemn look. Who knows just how long the heart had been trapped inside the box? Not to mention... he would never eat another living being's heart!

Bia also quickly distanced herself from Asher, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had indeed found a powerful treasure, but it was a pulsating heart!

The woman was speechless at their reaction. They should have been overjoyed to have discovered a treasure that many would sacrifice everything for. Yet, they were utterly repulsed by it.

"What in the world are you all doing? This heart holds the power to boost your strength significantly. It can elevate those in the transcendent rank to the supreme rank and elevate the supreme rank to an even higher level! Just consider it as any other meat and consume it. Show gratitude because this heart was found by one of the individuals who constructed this tomb and ascended to the Celestial realm!"

Kyle grasped her words. At last, she divulged some information she held.

"I suppose they are one of the guys who was with the ice enchantress or perhaps the ice enchantress herself. But they had ascended to the Celestial realm..."

Asher swiftly closed the golden box in his hands and tossed it into his mind space. He would think later whether to consume the heart or not. Then, he approached the woman to learn more about the Celestial realm she mentioned. After all, if it has the name 'Celestial' in it, it must be connected to the Celestial rank!

Hearing the name ice enchantress, the woman made of light fell silent. Her eyes showed pity, fear, and a lot of regret. Once again, she started sobbing.

"I am dead... all of us are dead. He killed every single one of us. Weren't we all summoned here just to guard this tomb? So why do we have to die? It's all because of the ice enchantress and the one who ascended to the Celestial realm."

Confusion flickered across Kyle's face as he glanced at the woman.

"What do you mean you are dead? As long as you have a piece of consciousness left, can't you reconstruct your body? I can perceive from the aura around you that your original form is at least of supreme rank."

His words resonated in Asher and Bia's minds as he communicated with them telepathically. Asher's eyes flickered with amusement at the woman's swift changes in expression. One moment she was cursing Kyle, the next she was in tears.

'The tears are not even real. They are crafted from energy. So it's hard for me to sympathize with her. She even tried to end our lives. Not to mention, she's already dead. Therefore, it matters little if we destroy what's left of her.'

He wasn't merciful. In this world, the strong thrive and the weak perish. If he had been merciful, he wouldn't have made it this far. He only stopped Kyle previously to extract information about powerful treasures from the woman.

Kyle grasped the metallic nail firmly in his hand and moved towards the woman. He sat down in front of her, lowering himself to meet her gaze.

"I have got some questions. I'm curious about the name of the person who ascended to the Celestial realm. And where exactly is this Celestial realm located? The name sounds grand. I am sure it's a place of immense power."

The woman's expression grew somber at his words, and she touched the energy barrier before her with a sad smile.

"The one who ascended to the Celestial realm? The one responsible for the downfall of us all? You want to know his name? But the one who brought about our end detests it if his name is spoken by another. Yet, you still want to know?"

She leaned in close to Kyle and whispered softly in a hushed tone.

"It's Nathaniel... the last human who managed to attain the genuine Celestial rank in this universe apart from him. And the Celestial realm you mentioned is a realm beyond this universe where the Celestial beings reside."

Kyle let out an 'Oh'. The phoenix couldn't handle so much information, so she chose to listen silently.

Kyle didn't shift his gaze, but he could sense faint cracks appearing on the surface of the cage enclosing the woman. She was trying to break free once more.

He had caught her off guard before using the power of his blue flames and knew that even though she couldn't kill him, she had the ability to harm him, despite being just a fragment of consciousness.

"Nathaniel? That's quite a powerful name. Hmm, but I wonder who 'he' is? The one you keep mentioning in your words."
