“I am just telling you the truth. Floating Cloud Family Clan was quite special, even though it was just a D Grade faction. Its members were remarkable weapon-smiths and were famed for their skills in making weapons and armor out of the body parts of living beings,” Harfn began in earnest.
“My Sect gave them the task of forging a sword out of the bones of an Asura that was hunted down by my Sect, an Asura that was just one step away from becoming a Primordial God,” he said as he clenched his hand in anger.
“Now, you tell me if that sword is worth more than your Family Clans, or not!” Harfn said in an angry manner, as he remembered the deeds done by Sheldon and his four companions from ten thousand years ago.
They had lost exceptional weapon-smiths under their Sect, and on top that they’d had to spend so much time finding the culprits behind the annihilation of Floating Cloud Family Clan. The amount of wealth that they’d had to spend just to continue their investigation all those years was not small.
Raizel and company were stunned on hearing Harfn’s words. They finally understood everything: a weapon made out of the bones of an Asura and that too, an Asura just a step away from becoming a Primordial God, was bound to be priceless and Heaven Defying.
The body parts of Asuras are extremely rare as their bodies disintegrate right after death in most cases. In some cases, though, the body of an Asura doesn’t disintegrate completely and some body parts are left behind. So, the rarity of Asura bones can be imagined.
These body parts can easily cause a big bloodbath in the Divine Universe as they can be used for numerous purposes, from making weapons to making pills. Raizel and company’s hate for Sheldon and company increased even further as they cursed them in their minds.
The actions of Nebula Sect were justified according to the rules and regulations of the Divine Universe, because of which they couldn’t expect much help from other factions. That fact frustrated Raizel and company, but they had already made up their minds to make Nebula Sect pay a heavy price irrespective of the consequences. All of them had already been prepared to die, when they’d decided to come here.
“Those five died long, long ago, and no one knows where they died, so attacking our Family Clans is not the right thing,” Raizel said. He still didn’t let Nebula Sect know that Sheldon and his four companions were still alive, because he and the others wanted them to protect the Grandura branches of both Family Clans.
“The sword was ultimately found on Radiant Divine World,” Harfn said, but didn’t elaborate any further, but this much was enough to make the imaginations of Raizel and the rest go wild.
“Did those five retards actually hide that sword on Radiant Divine World?” Raizel and the rest thought to themselves as their hearts tightened. Many of them actually wanted to kill Sheldon and his four companions at that instant.
“Can I ask you why have you kept us alive until now?” Raizel asked, which took Harfn by surprise.
“What do you mean?” Harfn asked, as his eyes narrowed.
“The space around us has been sealed by a Primordial God who can finish us off with a flick of his hand. Since you guys have kept us alive until now then there must a reason,” Raizel said in a calm manner. He had realized this fact just a few seconds ago.
“You are quite sharp,” Harfn complimented Raizel as he smirked at them all.
“My Sect has a few questions for you guys. You people can leave as long as you give us satisfactory answers,” Harfn said. Raizel just nodded his head.
“Who is backing your Family Clans?” Harfn asked, but this question made Raizel and company stunned for a second before smiles appeared on their faces. This one question was sufficient to tell them that their Family Clans had already escaped to safety otherwise, Harfn wouldn’t have asked it.
“I know what you are thinking, but they were a little late in coming, and they made us pay a heavy price, but it was of no use in the end,” Harfn lied with a straight face, as he flashed an evil grin which froze the hearts of Raizel and company.
“Just die!!!!” Raizel roared as he and others banished members from the Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan charged at Harfn and the others from Nebula Sect along with their Soul beings. Harfn and the others from Nebula Sect that were standing alongside him were taken aback by their actions.
“Have they lost their minds? They know that this space has been sealed by a Primordial God and yet they are attacking us so brazenly,” Harfn and company thought to themselves.
The Primordial God who had sealed the space could control everything within it, including Raizel and company. Harfn and company smiled as they looked at Raizel and company madly charging at them. In their eyes, they were just idiots who wished to commit suicide.
Raizel and company felt powerful pressure completely envelop them all of a sudden. It compressed them painfully, and increased with each passing second. The faces of some of the banished members and the Soul beings of certain banished members were extremely pale, as they were already at their limits. If the pressure increased any further, then their bodies would definitely turn into meat pulp. Even in such a situation, they looked at Harfn and others from Nebula Sect with disdain and anger; their hatred for Nebula Sect was visible in their eyes.
“I don’t understand you people. You know that the higher-ups of my Sect are here and yet you do something so stupid,” Harfn said in a mocking manner as he approached Raizel.
He started kicking and punching Raizel, and also interrogated him after every few minutes of torturing him. Raizel just abused him instead of answering him, but the level of torture increased in severity with each passing minute.
Other members of the Nebula Sect followed suit: they picked on someone from the banished members to interrogate. This continued for six hours but Nebula Sect didn’t get a single answer. Some of the banished members also died in this process, and all the banished members’ Soul beings died, because they were the first to be executed by Nebula Sect as they were of no use to them.
In the end, Nebula Sect decided to use Soul-scan on them to get the answers to their questions. The banished members of both Family Clans felt chills down their spines just hearing this term, as Soul-scan is a Demonic Martial Skill meant for forcefully extracting the memories out of the mind of a living being. The living being dies after its memories are extracted this way, due to his or her soul getting destroyed by Soul Scan.
This method is a double-edge sword, though, as the Martial Skill user is also in grave danger, if he or she fails at any stage of the Soul-scan. That was the main reason they’d avoided using it until then.
Outside the sealed space the higher-ups of Nebula Sect and an Elder of Silver Moon Family Clan watched Raizel and company emotionlessly. They were all Primordial Gods. They were there just to get answers to their questions as they wished to deal with all the hidden dangers quickly.
“We will be getting our answers soon, Lord Hubert,” the Sect Master of Nebula Sect said with extreme respect to the Elder of Silver Moon Family Clan. Nebula’s Sect Master was wearing a hood so his facial features were not visible to others, but his ghastly tones sent a chill down anyone’s spine. His name was Ivo.
“Let’s hope so,” Hubert said with his gaze was still fixed on the banished members of the Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan, but his expression changed all of a sudden. A powerful pressure enveloped him and completely restrained him.
He felt for the first time in millions of years that his life was in peril. And it was not just him: even Ivo and the other Primordial Gods of Nebula Sect were enveloped in that pressure, which must have been extremely strong to have been able to restrain hundreds of Primordial Gods so effectively.
This fact also spoke a lot of the strength of the being who was doing this to them. They sent out their Divine sense’s in all directions, but it was of no use as they were unable to find the being that had restrained them.
Crack!!!
Crack!!!
&
nbsp; Soon they heard a cracking sound. The seals placed by the Primordial God from Nebula Sect to seal the space around Raizel and company were being destroyed by an unknown force.
The Primordial God that had sealed the space vomited blood instantly, as these seals were directly connected to his Soul, and it had received severe injuries when the seals got destroyed.
The thing that frustrated Hubert and the higher-ups from Nebula Sect, even more, was that they still didn’t know anything about their enemy.
They had sent a Mental-message transmission to Harfn the moment they were enveloped in the powerful pressure informing him of their situation, and asking him to immediately stop torturing the banished members, in an attempt to appease the mysterious expert.
Harfn was quick to follow those instructions and made sure the rest also stopped torturing the banished members of both Family Clans.
They quickly moved away from the banished members of both Family Clans, and already wore fearful expressions as they could imagine their futures to some extent. Soon they too were restrained by a formidable pressure.
A handsome-looking black-haired guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of Raizel and company - none other than Solomon. Raizel and company looked at Solomon with wide eyes as they could tell that he was most likely the reason that Harfn and the other members of the Nebula Sect had stopped torturing them.
“Don’t worry about anything now that I am here,” Solomon said with a warm smile on his face as a large number of pills flew out of his Spatial pouch. The pills flew directly into the mouths of all the surviving banished members of Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan, and their wounds started to heal at speeds visible to their naked eyes, so they were all completely healed within minutes.
“Senior, who are you?” Raizel asked the moment he regained his composure. The other banished members also perked their ears on hearing his words. They too wanted to know why such a strong person would actually help them.
Raizel’s question also attracted the attention of the people of Nebula Sect as well as Lord Hubert.
“I am your grandfather,” Solomon said with a smile as he gently patted Raizel.
Raizel and company were agape, as they were certain that the man in front of them was telling the truth. If he was not related to them, then he would not have dared to help them, as that was tantamount to picking a fight with Silver Moon Family Clan.
Ch.20
The people from the Nebula Sect as well as Hubert felt the world turning upside down on hearing the identity of Solomon. They were now certain that he would definitely not let them off the hook easily.
Raizel and company, on the other hand, were still looking at Solomon with dazed expressions before they regained their senses, and while a question appeared in everyone’s minds, they looked at Solomon in an odd manner. He could already tell what was going in their minds.
“I had to stay hidden until now for numerous reasons,” Solomon said. Raizel and company just nodded their heads like little kids.
“I will send you guys back home first,” Solomon said as he opened a Teleportation portal to Endless Abyss Divine World within a few seconds. This Teleportation portal was smaller and less powerful than the one he’d opened with the help of the Heaven Mutiny Pillar to teleport billions of beings to Endless Abyss Divine World.
Currently, Raizel and company numbered less than half a million as quite a few of the banished members had died and everyone had lost their Soul beings which meant that Solomon this small Teleportation portal would suffice.
“Can we use these to deal with them before leaving?” Raizel asked in a meek manner as he took out an orb from his body. A few other banished members also took out similar orbs from their bodies. They’d stored these orbs in their Soul Worlds, and the faces of Hubert and the members of the Nebula Sect turned pale with fear on seeing them.
Now, they finally understood why Raizel and company had come there, even though they knew that it was hopeless to oppose them. It was called a Nine Annihilation Orb, and it was a High-grade Primordial God Artifact. The explosion caused by one of them was enough to destroy a Divine World on the same level as Radiant Divine World.
Raizel and company had come there with the intention of blowing themselves to bits with the Primordial Gods from Nebula Sect right from the start. It was for that reason that they’d patiently tolerated the torture by Harfn and the others, as they’d wanted the Primordial Gods of Nebula Sect to come closer to them before blowing themselves up. The explosion of a Nine Annihilation Orb was strong enough to endanger the lives of beings that were in the Early Sub-realms of Primordial God Realm.
Solomon’s eyes became a little moist on seeing his selfless descendants. He just nodded his head as he flicked his hand which made all the Primordial Gods of Nebula Sect and Hubert appear next to where Harfn and rest of the Nebula Sect members were hovering in the space. Raizel and company quickly planted the Nine Annihilation Orbs on the bodies of the Primordial Gods of Nebula Sect and Hubert with big smiles on their faces.
“Senior, we didn’t know that someone like you was standing behind Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan,” Hubert pleaded, though, in reality, he was trying to stall for time as the higher-ups of his Family Clans were on their way to Radiant Divine World. He’d already sent an SOS the moment he’d been enveloped in Solomon’s pressure.
“I know what is going on in your mind, but your Family Clan is too weak to harm me. You should have asked the SSS Grade faction that your Family Clan serves to come here if you wished to deal with me,” Solomon said with a sinister smile as he increased the pressure on Hubert’s arms and legs until they were crushed to mincemeat. The higher-ups of the Nebula Sect were scared silly just hearing Solomon’s words, as they’d never seen someone disregard an SSS Grade faction so openly.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Hubert roared in pain. Solomon could but naturally sense the approaching members of the Silver Moon Family Clan, all of whom were quite strong. He would have to unleash his power a little bit if he wished to deal with them, but that would attract unnecessary trouble. It was still not the right time to let his enemies know that he was still alive.
He entered the Teleportation portal and disappeared into it. It closed soon after, following which all the Nine Annihilation Orbs exploded simultaneously.
Bang!!!
Bang!!!
Hubert and the higher-ups of Nebula Sect died instantly, and the explosions caused by the Nine Annihilation Orbs illuminated the dark space for thousands of kilometers in all directions.
Radiant Divine World was also destroyed by the explosions.
The higher-ups of Silver Moon Family Clan also saw these explosions and stopped in their tracks: they could tell that they were already too late.
“How could these two measly Family Clans get hold of something like Nine Annihilation Orbs? Isn’t its trade restricted and controlled by the SSS Grade factions!” one of the higher-ups of Silver Moon Family Clan asked in disbelief.
“I always thought these two Family Clans were not that simple,” another higher up of the Silver Moon Family Clan said in anger. The losses incurred by them were unprecedented. The majority of the higher-ups of Nebula Sect had just been wiped out, which clearly spelled the end of Nebula Sect, and which would directly affect their strength too, as Nebula Sect was their subsidiary.
“Let’s ask Silver Oak Sect for help. I have a feeling that both those Family Clans are being supported by an SSS Grade faction, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to get Nine Annihilation Orbs,” a young man with a serious expression said. He had an extremely archaic aura, and no one dared to contradict him as he was Clan Head of Silver Moon Family Clan. His name was Randal, and Siler Oak Sect was the SSS Grade faction that Silver Moon Family Clan served.
Everyone’s breathing rates increased after hearing Randal’s words. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that they were scared at that moment: any SSS Grade faction could easily w
ipe them out. All they needed to do was to send one of their Paragon Gods to deal with them.
A Paragon God is an apex existence in the Divine Universe, which can easily wipe out any SSS Grade faction with a single flick of his or her hand. If an SSS Grade faction was supporting the Heaven Sundering and Eternity Family Clans, then there was nothing that they could do against them.
Any faction with a Paragon God in it is graded as an SSS Grade faction. Silver Moon Family Clan had assumed that another SSS Grade faction had used Heaven Sundering Family Clan and Eternity Family Clan to target Silver Oak Sect, as the sword made out of Asura bones had actually been meant for the Sect Master of Silver Oak Sect.
Randal and the other higher-ups of the Silver Moon Family Clan quickly flew towards Silver Oak Sect at their top speed.
They needed to inform Silver Oak Sect about the entire matter at the earliest.
Sheldon and his four companions had been patiently watching the Galactic Mental-message transmission orb for the past few days. They had been waiting for Raizel’s response. They had no idea that Raizel and the other banished members of both Family Clans had already made a move against Nebula Sect a few days before, and had paid a heavy price for ignoring Sheldon’s Mental-message transmission.
The Galactic Mental-message transmission orb suddenly shook and started shining. Sheldon’s hand moved quickly as he activated it. Their expressions turned weird as they checked the Mental-message transmission: it was from Aquila.
They hadn’t expected her to know that they were still alive, but it didn’t take them long to figure out everything. It would have been odd if Heron and Herman hadn’t told the members of the Upper echelons of the Main branches of both Family Clans about their deed ten thousand years before, which had resulted in such a big problem.
They promptly replied to her. They explained to her the circumstance under which they’d been forced to kill the members of Calamity Sect’s Main branch.
