Peerless Genius System

Chapter 833: Finally Here

The Time-Space Bracelet took Xiao Luo, Ghost, and Duck Emperor over two million kilometers to Santa Maria City.

It was a vast and prosperous center with endless streams of caravans entering and leaving the city. Within the city walls, the busy streets plied with a continuous flow of horses and carriages. Shops and warehouses were abundant. There were banks and even gambling houses… in short, it had all the amenities a city could offer. And one other thing was evident—the aura of high-level martial arts practitioners.

Here, one could see dwarves, elves, giants, races that were green from head to toe, centaurs, and many more. It was the central region of Arcana Land and a gathering point for many races that existed in this realm. It was a thriving and vibrant city with no rival.

High above Santa Maria, a city was hovering serenely in the sky. Behind the veil of clouds, the city had an air of mystery and spirituality. The sun shone radiantly and a rainbow arched over the city in the sky and it was a sight to behold.

“Holy duckeroni! Is that another city floating on top of Santa Maria city?”

Duck Emperor gawked in awe and exclaimed, “Is the Light Clan’s holy land that city in the sky?”

“Wow, it looks spectacular!”

The surreal view fascinated Ghost. She was in awe and gawked at the stunning scenery in awe. It was incredible–she’d never seen anything like this!

The sky city was like a massive island hovering in the air. From a distance, it looked like an irregular-shaped chestnut. Its landscape filled with trees that provided shade and flocks of long-beaked herons soared freely above the tree canopies.

Xiao Luo raised his head to gaze at the city in the sky. He clenched his fist and a trace of his aura emanated from his body.

Here, at last!

To achieve his present level of strength, he suffered at the peak of Mount Tianshan. His body went through the brutal and torturous ordeal of being destroyed, little by little. Like someone was hacking him into thousands of pieces. The memory of that experience was forever imprinted in his mind. It was his undying love for her and his faith that got him through the excruciating pain and anguish. It gave him the fortitude to rise from the ashes and exceed the limits of his endurance. Ultimately, his perseverance was rewarded with peerless strength.

An inexplicable emotion filled his chest as he stared longingly at the massive city in the sky.

“Darling, I am here. I am coming to bring you home…” he muttered.

His lips moved slightly. Though his voice was calm, it had the edge of a beast suppressing its savage nature.

Then Xiao Luo’s aura rose to its absolute maximum. He launched himself in the air and flew toward the city in the sky. He did not conceal his energy force, and the aura he emanated was overwhelming. It enveloped the entire of Santa Maria, attracting the attention of countless martial art experts. They looked up to the sky in terror.

“Calm down, kid!”

Duck Emperor immediately grew in size, and he carried Ghost then headed after Xiao Luo.

For the ordinary people, the city in the sky was beyond their reach. But for the three newly arrived visitors, getting there was a more a matter of time. When they got close to the city in the sky, an invisible barrier stopped them. It was transparent, but a solid shield that hindered their entry into the city.

“Duck cakes. The old dwarf is right. There is a shield protecting the city!” Duck Emperor shrieked as he looked toward Xiao Luo.

“Stand back!”

Xiao Luo’s eyes were blazing fiercely when he barked the order.

Duck Emperor immediately took Ghost and swiftly retreated further away.

Xiao Luo slowly unsheathed the Dragon Saber from its scabbard. An infinite amount of Spiritual Energy surged. Resonating with its owner’s emotions, the blood-colored Dragon Saber unleashed its force in all directions. Violent winds howled, and bolts of lightning flashed.

“Break the shield!”

Xiao Luo shouted the command and smote the blade at the invisible barrier in front of him.

The crimson-black sword energy, nearly ten feet long, cut a swathe through the void with tremendous force, smashing into the shield and creating flashes in brilliant hues of a rainbow. The impact sent waves of energy in all directions, surging like a raging storm across the sky and sweeping through the ground below.

The force of the blow threw the realm into disarray!

CLANG!

The invisible barrier shattered with the cracking sound of breaking glass. But it was no ordinary sound, for it resounded and penetrated across tens of kilometers in all directions.

Within the halls of the Holy Land, a pair of alluring eyes suddenly opened wide.

It was a woman sitting on a high throne. Her black hair was pulled back, accentuating her high forehead and exposing her slender neck. She was fair in complexion and her beautiful eyes gleamed with a purple hue. She wore a white dress, with her black silky long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her snow-white skin sparkled like jade, her nose was pointed and exquisitely structured, and her red lips glowed seductively. Not enough words could not justify the beauty of the woman.

The person was none other than Su Li!

Compared to her time in the original world, she now bore an icy demeanor that made her appear aloof and unapproachable. Sitting quietly on the throne, she looked like a deity; holy and pure. Anyone who looked upon her would feel the urge to get on their knees to worship her.

“At last, you have found your way here!”

She whispered to herself as she gazed up through the roof of the hall as if she caught sight of Xiao Luo.

Her gaze shifted to her side and fell on a diminutive witch in a black robe sitting on a broomstick. “Is it him?” she muttered.

“About this…”

There was hesitation on the face of the wrinkled old witch. “It looks like him, but it does not seem to be him.”

Su Li glared at the witch, questioning her response.

The old witch broke out in a cold sweat and said, “Your Holy Highness, I sense the aura of a devil from this person, but it is faint. It feels as if a demon or something sinister is growing on his body.”

“He is being used by the Great Archenemy? Is that what you are implying?” asked Su Li. She looked at the witch with calm eyes.

“It is my guess, yes. The devil itself has not appeared yet,” answered the witch as she nodded.

Su Li remembered various things about the man. He was a nobody who became the boss of a company. He became a political leader whose existence even brought fear to Presidents of foreign countries. One could say his exploits were legendary. Could he have attained the power of a devil and awakened his latent skills? Did he have a secret deal with the Great Archenemy?

The more she mulled over the possibilities, the deeper she frowned. The old witch had predicted that the Great Archenemy would soon come to Arcana Land from the Original World. The person would bring devastation to both worlds. If Xiao Luo were to have a connection with the Great Archenemy, it placed her in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a tiny leather ball came rolling from the side of the hall and stopped at the bottom of the throne.

A little girl appeared and skipped all the way to pick up the tiny ball. She had a pair of bright eyes that shone like stars. Her braided black, silky hair flowed down her small shoulders. She had a delicate little nose, a fair face, and lovely long eyelashes.

“Mommy!”

Su Xiaobei looked up and greeted her mother like an obedient little girl.

High above, seated on the throne, the unapproachable Su Li’s eyes softened immediately. She came down from her throne, took the little girl by her hand, and walked out of the hall without a word.

The old witch heaved a heavy sigh. She could not understand Su Li. She had regained her memory and re-assumed her role as their prestigious Holy Lady. Why would she take someone from the Original World to the Holy Land? Those were problems from her period of trial. She should have cut them off with no hesitation. Why would she want to keep them by her side?

Now that she had brought back the adorable little girl, so be it. The issue was that she even brought along her other problem. The witch wondered how she was going to protect the Clan if this foolishness continued.
