Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 509 I should cut this strange tree

?Along the way, Kyle spotted various planets and expansive floating lands, but with the exception of one or two, he detected a repugnant odor of darkness emanating from each one of them.

But he didn't stop and continued his journey because it doesn't really matter to him what was happening inside those places. That's why within a short time, he arrived outside the boundaries of a colossal planet, which had nearly half of its surface dominated by a massive and expansive tree.

The tree stood so tall that its countless branches had surpassed the layer of clouds, and Kyle could see them from outside the planet's boundaries.

However, Kyle noticed that its leaves had started to wither due to the dark particles that were spreading inside the planet. He activated his scent perception skill and immediately sensed numerous powerful presences inside the planet. One of them almost detected him, but luckily, his scent perception skill had recently advanced to the transcendent rank. That's why even though that individual was much stronger than him, he quickly retracted his skill before they could sense it.

"That was a close call."

He tilted his head with surprise when all of a sudden the massive tree standing tall on the planet began to tremble.

"What's happening with the giant tree now? Well, I suppose it's not something I should worry about. I can sense the exact location of the mark I placed on another person. So, I will head straight there and see who it is."

Kyle thought for a moment and grabbed a hoodie from his mind space to conceal his hair and eyes. It would be best to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Plus, there was a chance he had put the mark on an enemy's body.

In the next second, a few symbols lit up in mid-air across from him. He used a bit of divine energy, and the symbols merged together to create a portal.

Kyle wore the hoodie over his shirt and stepped into the portal, which scattered into particles behind him.

He emerged from another portal that appeared in the middle of a huge crowd, but no one noticed him because everyone was focused on the massive tree above them.

His eyes widened a bit when suddenly a branch of the giant tree tried to get closer to him. Kyle swatted the branch away with furrowed brows and quickly followed the presence of the mark to find the person he was looking for. However, he paused when a beautiful humming sound emanated from the tree. Instantly, every person around him fell silent for a few seconds, and then the crowd erupted with joyous cheers. Kyle's expression turned serious because even amidst the clamor, he felt like the tree was calling out to him to get closer.

"What the..."

He stepped back when a few more branches of the giant tree attempted to approach him once again. But then another louder humming sound emanated from the tree that resembled more like a sweet melody, and he got distracted for a minute or two. Kyle only snapped out of it when he sensed that the mark he was following was moving further away from him... only to realize that the person he was looking for was inside the massive flying ship that had set sail toward the sky.

'I can't directly teleport inside the ship because there's a supreme-rank individual in there.'

He gazed at the flying ship that vanished toward a distant horizon, thinking what a waste of time it was to come here. But that was when he saw the two strange elven women who recognized him, and his mood improved a bit because at least his trip wasn't completely useless.

Elli let out a sharp noise and quickly sprinted toward Kyle, who raised his brows with surprise. He watched the young elven woman who grabbed his hand and bombarded him with numerous questions, asking how the heck he found them, how he ended up on the elven planet, and how he had been. Iva also joined them and asked him similar questions with a warm smile, but Kyle simply stared at them and nodded occasionally to respond.

He was curious about the relationship he had with these two elven women since they were definitely not his blood relatives, given that he was human and they were elves.

Therefore, he decided to go along with them to learn more. Elli lowered her voice upon noticing the old town's head staring at them strangely.

"Oh no! We need to leave and find a secure place... if Glacia discovers you are here, it won't be good!"

Kyle rolled the name Elli just spoke up on his tongue but felt nothing. He could sense the hostility in the elven woman's eyes when she called out that name, and he was certain that whoever this Glacia was, she was an enemy.

He quietly followed the two elven women who took him inside a town before they headed directly toward a small wooden house in the distance. His eyes flashed with a clear warning when once again a branch of the huge tree that surrounded half of the planet tried to get near him.

"If possible, I should cut this strange tree."

The moment he muttered those words, immediately the Tree of Fate turned eerily silent and quickly moved away from his path to watch him from afar. Elli noticed this small interaction, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

They stepped into the house, and once Kyle settled into a chair, he watched as the older woman with honey-colored hair asked him if he wanted to eat or drink something. He shook his head, and then the air inside the house turned silent.

Elli and Iva exchanged glances, unsure of what to say to Kyle as they noticed his lack of response. Iva hadn't interacted with Kyle much before. She had only met him once and her knowledge of him was based on what she had heard from Yue and the rumors. She thought he might be the silent type. However, a sense of foreboding crept into Elli's heart when she saw Kyle's eyes, which remained calm and composed even when she suddenly mentioned that Nine had disappeared a few years ago.

Kyle just let out a regretful 'Oh' and half-heartedly said he hoped wherever Nine was, he would be safe.
