Chapter 440

Princess Zahira felt as if she had just awakened from the deepest nightmare. She felt fatigued, acting dully as if she was still under the effect of some anesthesia.

In her heavy dizziness, she could feel an icy cold murderous intention moving in her brain, attempting to kill her.

This feeling scared her a lot. She was trying hopelessly to resist it. However, like in an endless nightmare, she eventually became powerless. She felt as if Death was near.

Right when she wanted to give up, a warm and soothing Soul Consciousness embraced her. In that robust sea, she suddenly felt safe and cozy. Gradually, she forgot the fear in her heart.

After that flow of warm Soul Consciousness appeared, her nightmare turned into a nice dream. She felt relaxed and comfortable. The worries and fear in her heart were swept away. Her dull God Soul also received a new flow of power, as she gradually regained her consciousness.

The power that wanted to cut off her vitality was covered by another wicked energy in her body, then dissolved slowly. After that energy disappeared, the flow of wicked but familiar energy also retreated from her body.

All of a sudden, she had no worries or fear. It was so comfortable, as if she were enjoying a wonderful bath, feeling the vigorous energy rolling in her body. An unknown force was nurturing her little by little.

Her consciousness was restored, as the soul altar was moving slowly in her Sea of Consciousness. Her exhausted body became lighter and refreshed.

After an unknown period, she remembered all the things that happened before she was put into a coma. She remembered everything...

She opened her eyes. Her dreamy eyes suddenly sparkled as she saw the one in front of her eyes.

Leylin was sitting cross legged not so far from her. His face was cold and somber, with his eyes closed.

'This man... he's the one who saved me!'

Zahira's pale face glowed, as a magical light sparkled in her beautiful eyes. She pressed her succulent red lips as the quiet lake in her heart was having some ripples.

Leylin realized that Zahira had woken up. He still remained steady, and his soul was calm with his eyes closed.

'He's comprehending the knowledge of his realm.'

Zahira observed for a while and then got it. Her pretty eyes became brighter.

'Who is he? Why did he saved me? Is he a guard arranged by father? No, that's impossible. Furthermore, He's just a Third Sky Of True God realm, how did he achieve such an explosion attack back then. And that warm power, it was him too... ' Thousands of question and doubts were thundering in Zahira's head but she could only stare at this mysterious young man.

A complicated feeling popped up in her head. Now she knew that it was because of this man that she could keep her life.

When she woke up, she remembered how tremendous and cruel the flow of energy intruding her body was. In her previous condition, she had no means to resist it. While she was half-conscious, she knew her vitality was damaged severely.

If he hadn't helped her, she knew that at this moment, even her soul altar would have been destroyed.

The vague memories of her nightmare became clearer bit by bit. Although her eyes were still as beautiful as stars in the sky, the quiet lake in her heart was rippling. Her countenance was strangely unclear.

She was dazed, looking at the young man learning his power Upanishad. At this moment, she felt a little bit confused...

'Is he an admirer of mine? No, no one would go that far only cause of that. Maybe he had a grudge against the pirates, but he retreated after saving me. Does he want to latch on to me and gain recognition from father?'

She thought logically and came to the conclusion that Leylin must be the kind of person who wanted to attach to her faction and gain benefits.

'No matter what it is, currently I am in a very precarious position and have little to no ability to resist if he even had any nefarious ideas. Might as well see what he wants.'

Although her life was saved, her energy had been consumed greatly.

Then she remember something, this man has used his energy to help her heal to a degree. Was that Life Upanishad? And he could destroy the wisp of consciousness, how is that possible? And that move against the pirates, it was definitely Space Upanishad.

When she looked at Leylin, she felt that this man was like a riddle. No one knew how many secrets he was keeping.

Time flew hurriedly.

After an unknown period of time, Leylin woke up from his realm comprehension. When he opened his eyes, he remained cold.

That enchanting face and irresistible body in a pitiful state which was a meter from him. The sweet fragrance of hers permeated his nostrils.

He maintained his demeanor and smiled slightly and stood up.

"How are you?"

Zahira's face was still normal, still the flower-like smiling visage. She was half lying and half sitting on the ground, revealing her charming curves. A strange light flared in her beautiful eyes. "A little tired."

"You have overexerted yourself, you can continue to rest and recuperate."

"Who are you? Why did you save me? While I was sleeping, why did you take me here? Where the heck is this place?" Zahira rubbed her jade-like neck. She shook her head as if she were pulling herself together. Her beautiful eyes gazed here and there at the surroundings.

"After you fainted I ran with you in your war chariot but it was destroyed in a furious energy storm. I had no choice but to come here to hide from pirates. There are no living beings here. I found only rotten corpses here, which belonged to beasts and other races."

Zahira lifted her head, looking at the hundred-meters-long beast skeleton. She wasn't so surprised, as if she had seen it before.

"As for who I am, my name is Leylin Farlier. I saved you because I couldn't bear to live in a world where a beauty like you don't live."

"Oh? So why did you wait so long till I was nearly incapacitated to help this beauty?"

"My realm is low, I could only use underhanded means to deal with others and if the pirates weren't fully focused on you then my cover would have been blown." Leylin kept a straight face.

"Cut the crap, just tell me why did you save me?"

"Such rudeness towards your saviour, Princess Zahira have opened my eyes towards the true character of Dark Firmament Divine Nation's people."

"Don't misunderstand. I am very thankful to you for saving me. But you clearly know who I am and I have seen enough of the world to understand no one would act so selfless. Just tell me what you want?"

"Your authority as the genius princess and a few favours from you if needed. Probably a good place to cultivate and some opportunity if you have access to them. I'll also need you to help me in my time of need, and if you can bestow me with a Life Star that would be great. These are few small almost negligible requests I have to save your highness."

"Small?" Zahira eyebrows twitched in annoyance from Leylin's 'little' demand. He might as well ask for her hand in marriage.

"Anyway we will iron out the details later, tell me how do you feel now?" Leylin laughed looking at her annoyed face and said, "The energy that intruded your body was frightening. It had consciousness, and it could avoid my pursuit. If I hadn't reacted correctly using some special means to surround it, perhaps, you couldn't have resisted it..."

"The one who attacked me is at the Peak of King God Realm. He's just one step away from the Original God Realm. A flow of Soul Consciousness with power could ascend into life… This is the mystery of the heaven and earth a warrior at the Original God Realm can perceive. That one... I think he's still a little bit weak, so he couldn't cross a further distance or pour more energy into the living being ascended from his Soul Consciousness. Otherwise, even if you helped me, I would have been killed."

Zahira eyes were distressed. She contemplated for a while and then turned to him. "I am more amazed that you could actually save me with your low realm. Are you sure you aren't a spy sent by someone to backstab me at the most critical moment?"

"Firstly, no would be so stupid so send such a talented, capable, brilliant, handsome and outstanding warrior as a spy of a mere princess who have no chance to ever come close to the throne. Secondly, if I wanted to kill you.. " Leylin left that sentence in the air because Zahira knows the answer pretty well.

"You are very rude." Zahira pouted, observing his expression closely.

"You don't need to doubt me, I just have some fate attached to you. We can act genuine to each other, I saved you and in return you help me. It would be a transaction of benefits."

"*Sigh* You don't understand the troubles of royal family. Anyway If you hadn't helped me, I would have died already. Although you are very suspicious and extremely odd person, I'll do all I can to repay you."

"Good to hear.. For now, tell me more about Original God Realm warriors who can evolve a wisp of Soul Consciousness into a living creature."

"You don't know, it seems you are not from any big force. Where are you from again?"

"Somewhere."

"..."

Sigh

"Experts at the Original God Realm have supernatural power Upanishads, and it's not that simple." Zahira smiled begrudgingly, her face longing. "I'm always making efforts to reach this realm. Until now, I still think it's too far away for me to ever reach. Experts at this realm are the real characters in the Raging Flame Star Area. They are all the freak elders that have almost become monsters."

"He did a number on you huh." No one knew her body condition better than him.

"As a princess you must have many good medicines and pellets, so you can most probably recover your powers."

"I just need time," Zahira nodded.

"Okay, do that then. I'll explore this place. "

Leylin also nodded and didn't care about her anymore. He released his Soul Consciousness and urged his energy to get rid of the massive gravity, flying forward quickly.

Beast skeletons passed under his body. Those skeletons showed no wounds, making anyone curious as to how they died.

Far, far from him, Leylin could see the skeletons of many experts from different races. All of them were grayish-brown, without a single beam of energy left.

Barren hills appeared in his view, only to be left behind shortly. Leylin after a while detected a beam of weak, hidden energy in his Soul Consciousness.

That flow of energy was feeble, as if something was covering it. If he didn't understand the Sun Upanishad, he would never have sensed it.

It was the flaming energy of the Sun!

Arid hills and mountains glided under his body. After a long time, his view was suddenly widened. Lying deep in a massive hole drilled into the earth was a giant beast skeleton.

That skeleton looked like a giant bird without flesh. All the bones were scarlet, around ten thousand meters long. It looked more like a collapsed mountain fallen into the center of that deep hole.

A beam of flaming energy of the sun came from this giant bird. However, it was concealed.

He approached the hole slowly, floating quietly above the giant bird and observing. He condensed his Soul Consciousness into a beam and sent it toward the bird's forehead, where he had sensed the energy.

The feeble wisp of flaming sun energy came from there.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Zahira's frightened call arose behind him.

A purple light flashed. In the next minute, She was next to him, watching the giant bird skeleton with fear. "Don't do anything rash."

Leylin frowned, looking at her.

"I think I know what it is." Zahira's eyes flared, but she didn't say anything in detail, as though she wasn't so sure.

"What?"

"Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird!"

"!?"

Zahira explained. "Long time ago, this Sacred Beast came here from nowhere. It suddenly appeared in the Raging Flame Star Area. It caused the solar suns in the area to lose their light. This so-called Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird seemed to be able to absorb the power of the sun to ascend. Since the Solar Stars were ineffective, floras on many life stars shriveled and died. So many spiritual herbs and plants on Herbal Stars died, which enraged experts at that time. They united to hunt that bird down."

"And this is where they all end up? Dead!"

Zahira beamed a forced smile "Seems so, the warriors hunting the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird and the bird itself all disappeared into thin air all of a sudden. But now, I know it..."

She looked at the giant bird skeleton under their feet and countless skeletons of beasts and experts of different races far from them.

"The Vermilion Bird True Flame's here."

Suddenly, the heaven flames from Leylin's soul altar sent him their thoughts. Shortly, he could feel the energy fluctuations from the skeleton of the giant bird.
