Chapter 554 - Golden Crows Vs Blue Luans

While the Western Frontier's region was getting devastated by the battle of two incredibly powerful beasts that was believed to be the legendary Three-Legged Golden Crow and Blue Luan, Leon continued to comprehend the Law Fragments inside the Worldspace.

After a period of quiet meditation, he ended his session of comprehending the Profound Law of Death.

When he reopened his eyes, his gaze quickly fell on a pair of deep black pupils staring directly back at him from up close before he was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." Duna pulled her head back before casually asking, "How are you feeling?"

"Hmm…"

Leon studied himself for a moment and noticed his Soul Energy had strangely recovered, whilst his Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy had slightly depleted.

Nevertheless, he responded with a smile, "Never better. Thanks for your concern, Duna."

"It was not like I was concerned about you or anything, idiot." Duna averted her gaze before storming back to her ice bed.

Leon could not help but smile wryly.

Shortly after, he turned his attention back on the Law Fragments and quietly mused, "If I could meditate in an environment filled with Death Energy, my speed of comprehending the Profound Law of Death would increase by twofold, probably…"

As he thought of this point, he recalled the black region littered with death-decayed black carcasses where he found Duna in her unconscious state.

"That place is quite suitable… but it's quite some distance from the Western Frontier…" Leon frowned.

Although he was told to focus on his cultivation and leave the empire's matters to those in charge, he could not help but still concern himself with the empire's issues.

"I should at least check that everything is on track before I leave… but before that, I should also pay a visit to the forge… There are a few things I need to make before I leave." Leon contemplated.

After planning out his next course of actions, Leon shot to his feet before making his way to Duna.

Feeling a shadow was cast over her, Duna peeked with one eye open before she nonchalantly asked, "What do you want?"

"I'm leaving this Worldspace. Are you coming or staying?" Leon asked casually. He did not mind whichever choice Duna chooses. He just thought he should at least ask.

After hearing Leon's question, Duna immediately shot to her feet, "I'm coming!"

"Alright." Leon nodded before he frowned at a sudden thought, "It's been a while since I've last seen Lumi. How is she?"

"Why? Are you tired of seeing me?" Duna responded back coldly.

Leon was taken aback before he shook his head helplessly, "Why are you so ready to fight me or something? I'm merely asking out of concern for her."

Duna studied Leon's expression for a moment before her brows furrowed, "Lumi is still sleeping. I know because I can sense it. She will wake up when she wants to wake up."

"I see…" Leon frowned slightly.

Duna did not explain to him clearly, but he decided not to pry deeper if she was unwilling to tell him the details.

"Let's leave," Leon stated.

Duna nodded before closing the gap between them to hug one of his arms, causing him to be slightly surprised before giving her a quick glance in wonder.

However, Duna shortly spat, "Don't think too much. It's not like I'm doing this to make it more convenient for you or anything. I just don't want to be thrown outside randomly."

Leon smiled ruefully.

Shortly after, he willed for the spatial portal to open before the two of them quickly returned to the outside world.

In that instance, Leon's surroundings were completely different from when he entered the Worldspace, causing him to be shocked, "What the hell is happening?"

"Just what kind of mess did you bring us to?" Duna quickly frowned at the huge battle taking place in the high skies of the mesosphere layer.

Caw! Caw!

Kree! Kree!

Thousands of large Three-Legged Golden Crows and Blue Luans fought furiously, tearing at each other's throats and wings!

Despite his shock, Leon still wrapped his hand around Duna's waist and quickly retreated from the battlefield in the airspace. Duna furrowed slightly, but she did not resist.

"How would I know? These big birds weren't here when I entered the Worldspace," Leon quickly explained while evading the claws and talons of Three-Legged Golden Crows and Blue Luans.

The attacks were not aimed at him directly. He was simply in their way.

"If they weren't here before, then why are they here now? Why are they fighting, and with such intensity? These creatures all Transcendent-level beasts at the very least!" Duna observed the surrounding battle while be carried by Leon.

Leon's eyes immediately flickered at Duna's words.

'Rather than asking why they are fighting, it should be asked what they are fighting over? Were these giant birds attracted to the Divine Book of Life's subtle aura?' Leon silently mused with shock.

If that was the case, these birds are incredibly perceptive!

Suddenly, Leon noticed the Three-Legged Golden Crows' eyes were fiery red like berserk beasts under Wrathful Demonic Energy's influence, while the Blue Luans' eyes were a typical blue hue.

'Maybe it was just a coincidence?' Leon began to doubt his speculation.

"In any case, this place is too dangerous for us to stay!" Leon stated objectively while weaving his way through the army of Transcendent-level flying beasts battling each other to the death.

Even with 500-thousands jin worth of fleshly defense, he could still fill the threat coming from their sharp claws.

Un, get to it then!" Duna urged, but her expression remained casual and unconcerned with the dangerous situation they were in.

"What do you think I am currently trying to do?" Leon responded with a bit of speechlessness while evading another incoming claw, followed by a forward flip onto the huge back of a Blue Luan before leaping off.

Duna's lips slightly rose before she spat with repressed excitement, "Well, try harder!"

She was thoroughly enjoying the thrill of the ride.
