Frozen wastnd.


    If Kai had to describe the Northern continent in one word, he would describe it as a frozen wastnd.


    A snowstorm was raging across the continent as Kai and the others appeared on the Northern continent.


    Hills upon hills of snow filled the area around them and most of them could hardly see anything because of the snowstorm.


    But suddenly, Kai''s body started to glow and a warm feeling surrounded them. They could now see everything clearly and their bodies were warm again.


    "Stay here and be on the lookout for anything dangerous. Mia,e with me." Kai ordered as he and Mia walked away.


    "For some reason, I feel as though we are burdens." Nezukomented but Mariel, Levina, and Sahara shared a secretive smile.


    "Even though you feel like that, he actually brought all of us here since he thought we will be useful. Mia has special ice-rted powers and would prove to be more advantageous than any of us in case something bad happened. That is the reason Kai took her with him." Mariel exined as the others girls nodded.


    Kai and Mia on the other hand wandered around a little. Mia''s powers allowed her to see through the snow and allowed her better eyesight than Kai.


    "Can you see anything below the snow?" Kai asked as he nced at Mia''s outfit.


    Her ice goddess dress was back on her body and despite the revealing features of the dress, it didn''t look as though Mia wasn''t feeling cold.


    "I can only see frozennd beneath the snow. I think that this snow had been gathering up for quite some time and that is why you see these hills." Mia exined as she suddenly stopped.


    She walked towards a particr hill and parted the snow with her touch. She then bent forward and took out something.


    She was holding a pure ck feather as Kai sighed. He plucked it from her hand and his eyes started to glow.


    The feather suddenly rose in the air and burned down to nothing.


    "Let''s go back, Mia. I already got what I wanted." Kai said and teleported them back to the group.


    "Did you find anything?" Mariel asked as Kai nodded.


    "I found enough evidence to prove that this continent is being ruled by Azazel." Kai said as Mariel, Sahara, Mia, and Levina frowned.


    The others were however confused by Kai''s words since they didn''t know what he was talking about.


    But before they could say anything, Kai''s eyes widened and he looked around in disbelief. He suddenly bit his finger and touched the ground with it.


    "Barrier of Eden." He said slowly as their surroundings vanished.


    Everyone, except Sahara, looked around in disbelief as they appeared in a pure white cube that was big enough topletely encase them.


    "What happened Kai and where-" Mariel began to ask as she turned to look at Kai but she suddenly froze.


    The others also turned to look at him and they also froze in shock.


    Kai''s hair was nowpletely ck but that was the most minor of changes in him. Two beautiful white wings were visible behind him and they seemed to feel the entire ce with a glow.


    His round-shaped pupils had turned into cross-shaped ones and his eyes were continuously glowing.


    "I didn''t want many people to know about this but since you have already seen this, there is nothing I can do about it." Kai sighed as the others continued to stare at him.


    "How... is that possible?" Mia managed to ask as Kai just shook his head indicating that he didn''t want to talk about it.


    But in reality, Mia''s question madeplete sense. From what all of them were seeing, Kai had angel wings and angel eyes indicating that he has angel blood in him.


    But he also had demon blood in his veins which marked him as both half demon and half angel which was kind of impossible. But her thoughts were stopped by Risea''s voice.


    "Um, Kai, is there something on my back?" Risea asked in a low voice as all of them turned to look at her since she was standing at the very back of the group.


    They would have gasped if not for Kai''s wings since Risea was sprouting her own pair of wings. They were white just like Kai''s but they were half the size of his wings.


    "Wings huh. It could only mean one thing." Kai muttered to himself and teleported behind Risea just as she fainted and copsed on his arms.


    Her body started to glow as her appearance changed. Her hair grew thicker and longer and her eyes changed to pink as her body grew.


    She now looked like a girl in her twenties as she stood up from Kai''s arms. Her wings folded back and her clothes changed to a simple skirt and ck shirt.


    "Kai." She said his name with an annoyingly familiar simrity as he went forward and hugged her.


    His wings wrapped around her body and her insides were taken over by a warm filling. She hugged him back and they stayed like that for a while and no one disturbed them.


    They broke apart after some minutes and Risea stretched her body a little before she stared at the group of people.


    "As all of you already know, my name is Risea and I am one this guy''s lovers. By the way, I already know all of you so there is no need for introductions." Risea said and the others were taken back by the change in her personality.


    "I have a name you know." Kaimented as Risea chuckled and patted him on the head.


    It was a shocking scene to see Kai being patted by a girl but he let her do it. He and Risea had somewhat of a more deeper rtionship as both of them had powers that were not supposed to exist.


    "Now that you have recovered your memories, this will officially end my search for my lovers in this realm." Kai said as he folded his wings.


    Bu his cross-shaped eyes were still there as he starting hovering in the air. He then drew a map of the Northern continent that was created with the help of his spiritual sense that wasrge enough to cover the entire mortal realm.


    The details were fully urate except the middle part of the continent which was blocked by a high barrier that was used to block spiritual sense.


    "The entire continent has many cities and viges full of people but the part in the middle is the one that we should worry about. The reason I created this barrier known as ''The barrier of Eden'' is that a dark ripple of power went throughout the continent and it was simr to spiritual sense. Now for those of who didn''t know about this, the realm above the imperial spirit realm is known as the Divine spirit realm and cultivators develop a physical-spiritual sense in this realm that can be extended in a certain area around them." Kai exined as the women from the mortal realm nodded.


    "Then what realmes after the Divine spirit realm?" Riang asked curiously.


    "After the Divine spirit realm,es the four core realms - Spiritual core realm, Imperial core realm, Saint core realm, and Divine core realm. After them are the four soul realms that have simr names except the soul part. Thene the three divinity realms - Semi divinity realm, Golden divinity realm, and Soul divinity realm. Thest stage of cultivation is immortality and immortals are strong enough to destroy a realm by themselves." Kai exined as their eyes widened.


    They nodded as they processed the information. Having done with that, Kai turned in Sahara''s direction and gave her a little nod.


    She nodded back and sat down in a cultivation pose. The barrier suddenly disappeared and all of them appeared back on the frozen wastnd.


    The dark ripple went throughout the continent once again but before it could reach the group, three powerful auras burst simultaneously.


    One of them was dark lime the ripple while the other two were purifying and heavenly. The first aura belonged to Sahara while the other two belonged to Kai and Risea.


    They released three ripples of power that stopped the iing dark ripple. The three of them then looked at each other before wings appeared from their back.


    Kai and Risea''s were white whereas Sahara had a pair of dark yellow wings. Kai then looked around onest time before his body started glowing and he teleported them towards the blockage.


    ***


    Inside a pce, a woman with bloodstained hands was sitting on a throne made from ss. Her eyes werepletely ck with red in the center and her hair were royal blue.


    "So you have finallye. I cannot wait for our battle Kai." The woman muttered to herself with a grin as she nced at the person in front of her.


    A man was lying on the floor in front of her and was kissing her boots. His face and body were full of bruises but he paid his full attention to kissing thedy''s boots.


    "Now that he is back, I don''t need pitiful ythings like you." The woman spoke to herself as the man suddenly tensed up.


    Dark energy wrapped around the woman''s right hand and she sliced the man''s neck in one swift motion.


    "Nothingpares to the feeling of fresh human blood on my hands." She said to herself and licked the blood off her palms as the throne of ss was stained red by the blood of the man.
