Appearing into Kazami vision as far from he can see was numerous stunningly beautiful archipelago islands all floating atop crystal ocean blue water. This vast area had no end sight from what he can see, and every island there were all large in distinctive shapes.

The team of eight was currently overlooking this beautiful sight from the top of the Early zone forest cliff.

"Intriguing...so each zone is split up into different geological locations. The power of these beasts and whatever traps should increase as well." Lun Yuo commented while taking in this glorious sight.

"We've never even been out of the outskirts of the early zone. Once again, we're all experiencing something truly magical." Luo Ke said in awe as Su Mo, Dela, and Mara couldn't help but slowly nod their heads in agreement.

"Ok! That's enough, sightseeing! Kaz, let's continue." Brenda yelled to the group, getting them all out of their stupor.

"Eh? Brother, did you lose the sense of the divine energies? Is your cute little sister going to have to pick up the slack for you~." Kuzumi had suddenly threw herself to Kazami back with a smug expression.

While they all were taking in the archipelago sights, Kuzumi had notice Kazami wrinkled his eyebrows and closed his eyes in deep concentration.

Kuzumi took this as him trying harder to find the divine energies; only it was a different situation in his head.

Kazami felt a small forbidding feeling nestle in his gut during the whole time they arrived in the middle zone. Immediately he spread his spirit sense as far as he could to pick up on any little thing.

Only to once again sense no humans around them for miles watching, or following them.

As Kazami felt Kuzumi's modest breasts squish into his back like two soft pillows, he turned around, noticing all eyes were on him awaiting his next words.

Looking into his twin sister cute face that could always melt his heart and the rest of his team eyes, he shook off the feeling thinking it was a bit of paranoid though he still stated,

"No, I haven't lost the divine energies trail. Only just was sensing the level of beasts that walks in this zone. We all must stay extra alert now even for the tiniest of things, and oh Mara, you'll be testing out your new prowess soon."

"Ah! I will gladly meet this challenge, Senior brother Kazami!" Mara exclaimed with a fire burning in her eyes, showing off her passion.

Kazami and the girls didn't know why, but ever since they dealt with the ninth level Heaven Ruler, Mara group was intent on recognizing them as the seniors' disciples. Even as all four of the Mara group were older than the Kazami team.

"Hm? Ah, you know Zami, seeing how this zone is mostly water, we should fly this time. Undoubtedly if we were to fight sea beasts on water, they would have the absolute advantage, but it would be a different story if we were to take to the skies." Lun Yuo suggested, and before Kazami could respond, in tandem with each other, Brenda and Kuzumi already acted.

Kuzumi smoothly flipped herself over to where she in front of Kazami leaning into his chest while Brenda wrapped her arms around Lun Yuo waist in a tight hold.

"Excellent idea Yu, so I'll be taking dibs on the best flying spot." Kuzumi softly said while melting into her brother's embrace as Kazami unconsciously wrapped his arms around her. It was an automatic response he would have if any of the girls suddenly leaned into his chest, which they do quite often.

Rolling his eyes at her actions, Kazami also heard Brenda say,

"A really perfect idea, Yuo! Now I get to bully you because you can't fly!!"

"Remember, you shouldn't go too far~." Lun Yuo sweetly stated, but Brenda didn't back down giving her sweet smile sating,

"Oh? But it truly does seems like I'm in control now~."

"Uhm, not to interrupt your horror contest, but w-will senior sister Yuo still pull us along even while senior craze-I mean senior sister Brenda carry you?" Dela asked with a bit of a blush on her face as she didn't want to admit, but Lun Yuo vines gave them all a secure, warm feeling.

"Of course, I will still do it! I have to protect my dear cute junior disciples, after all." Lun Yuo confirmed them getting Mara group to unintentionally blossom wide smile from hearing her protecting words.

"Ok, we're setting off now!" Kazami said to them all as he unleashed his god bloodline state, his purple Griffin wings majestically swaying from his back.

Brenda unleashed her as well, bringing out her beautiful protruding white Kun Peng wings. At this moment as well four vines sprouted from Lun Yuo fingertips wrapping around Mara groups' waist. And this time, a gentle green aura cover them up as Lun Yuo was counting on Brenda insane speed.

Once they all finish preparing, Kazami and Brenda took off to the sky as they zoomed straight to one of the massive archipelago islands.

"Ahh~! Flying with my brother is...hey!! Why are we slowing down and coming down?!"

Kuzumi had abruptly exclaimed as Kazami truly was going slower and losing attitude. It wasn't just him as Brenda was already crashing faster than Kazami!

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

During their short flight, both of them had instantly traversed a great distance with their speed, and immediately after, they discover the gravity had tremendously increased for them.

"Yoh?! Brace for impact!!" Brenda roared to the five she was holding, gaining explosive reactions from two of them.

"Good thing I have this devil body..." Lun Yuo quietly said to herself as she watched the incoming island become larger to her eyes.

"Can't you at least slow down!!" Dela roared to her getting Luo Ke, to say,

"Relax, Dela! I'm sure fairy sisters charm will protect us!!"

"The green aura?" Su Mo had suddenly question getting Mara to also state to her,

"Right, it should help cushion this fall, although remember to keep your Qi up."

"It seems like we got a bit in overhead with this one. At least I can manage a somewhat slow decent." Kazami breathed out as he lowered himself and Kuzumi to the same island at a moderate pace compared to Brenda.

"I wonder if they crashed by-"

'Thud!'

Kuzumi guessed had proved to be correct as when they landed on the island, the twins saw the six of them face planted in the ground.

"Well then! It looks like we're running on water from here." Brenda remarked as she was the first one to stand up and used Qi to wipe away the dirt from the ground.

"Still like this example showed, we need to take extra precaution now." Lun Yuo also commented as she stood up second doing the same Qi process as Brenda.

"I told you it wouldn't be so bad, Dela." Luo Ke told her as the rest of them stood up as well, washing the dirt away with Qi.

"Whatever, but hey wait a minute. While we were in the air, I also felt the sudden increase in gravity, but now on the ground, it's back to normal?" Dela said to them as they all felt the normal gravity.

And swiftly, Kazami perked up as he looked at Mara, getting her to perk up as well from the sudden glance.

"Perhaps it's apart of one of the deadly trials Guardian Chui mentions, but now this gave Mara the perfect target to test your prowess."

'RUMBLE!'

No sooner than Kazami mentions it, the beast appears in the form of a giant ferocious-looking gray monstrous crab, chopping down any trees to barrel to the group.

They all sensed the crab level, and it was a peak stage seventh level Heaven Ruler beast!

Although this level didn't deter Mara in the slightest as she donned and purple lightning aura and brought a profound spirit rank sword coated in purple lightning, a white light flashed in her eyes and gave her a strange boost of power.

In an instant, she rushed at a blazing speed to meet the beastly crab rush and,

'BANG!'

The crab shot backward like a cannonball as it skidded on the ground from its hinds legs. Furthermore, Mara manages to slice off one of its big claws from this single exchange.

Everybody that was watching her was a bit surprised Mara prowess goes to this extent. Like Su Mo, it also appears Mara can surmount three small stages as well!

After the first move, Mara didn't hesitate at all and jumped above the crab as it manages to stop itself. From the crab other claw gray water, Qi began to form there, in an attempt to attack, but Mara didn't give it a chance.

'Ka-Cha!'

Relying on nothing but pure power, she plunges her lightning sword into the crab, easily tearing through its tough shell. To achieve such a feat like this was no easy matter as this monstrous beast crab shells could shrug off even the most powerful of attacks from other peak stages seventh level Heaven Rulers!

The crabs' eyes swirled with pain as Mara plunged in it, and in the next second, Mara unleashed mighty purple lightning Qi that rampaged throughout the crab body, effectively killing it.

Jumping off the body, she dashed back to the team where she got met with praise from Luo Ke, Dela, and Su Mo.

"That was amazing, Senior sister Mara, from you and Mara examples, we're going to become the cream of the corp at this rate!" Luo Ke honestly praised.

"No, kidding. I only wish we were in the starter zone so I could get a chance to run my new prowess!" Dela eagerly chimed, waiting for her turn to showoff.

"We're all geniuses as expected!" Su Mo said with stars in her eyes.

"Good work." Kazami lightly praised and nodded his head towards her.

Mara felt incomparably warm and prideful, hearing all the praise from her fellow disciples. And hearing Kazami short but sweet praise caused her to feel a bit of heat in her cheeks as her glorious senior brother just recognize her talents!

The smile on her face couldn't stop blossoming once thinking about this.

"Not too bad at I'll say, but now all of you get back into position since we're going to have to run again," Kuzumi told them as she and the other three took the lead.

While it will be troublesome to encounter any sea monster while traversing across the water, they all didn't have a choice since flying was impossible.

In the same position as they was in the starter zone with Lun Yuo vines wrapped around Mara group, they took off again blitzing through this large island.

Swiftly they near the edge of the island; however, Kazami smiled as he sensed four powerful beasts appearing out to ambush them.

A ninth level Heaven Ruler purple large leopard silently rushed out from the bushes from their sides, and up in front were three mighty tenth level Heaven Rulers!

It was two giant fierce-looking mammoths along with another vast gray crab. Currently, Kazami and the girls' aura only exuded out to an intermediate stage Heaven Ruler, which gave the beasts all the more confidence as the strongest there seemed to be Mara.

Only this train of thought led to all of their downfalls as Kazami aura and pressure dramatically increased to a point where he surpassed the Heaven Ruler stage!

To the beasts, it felt as if he was a true Heaven King Sea cultivator as all of their bodies froze in place.

With a snap of his fingers, the four beasts bodies got encased in red ice. And with another snap, the ice broke into thousands of pieces effortlessly killing this extraordinary lineup.

All the while, the Mara group was in awe as they felt Kazami Heaven King Sea prowess. Even Lun Yuo, Brenda, and Kuzumi couldn't help but widen their eyes a bit from feeling Kazami extreme prowess.

Although they couldn't stop to discuss it as they already came upon the end of the island and Kazami stated,

"From here on, Brenda, Yu, and Kuzumi increase your bloodlines state to its max capacity. We'll avoid a lot more fights with all of us doing it. Oh, and for Mara and the others, hold on tight."

With foregone warming, the Mara group clung on to Lun Yuo vines as the green aura protecting them became a bit more intense.

Wasting no time and with a newfound speed far surpassing themselves from before they took off on the ocean, blazing across it as Kazami lead them to their next divine resource.
