Chapter 102 Past The Sky Mountains

The next day, Leonardo stretched out lazily in his bed, his eyes slowly parting open as a sloppy sensation occupied his lower half. The moment his eyes gained focus, what greeted him was a pair of small, thick folds of flesh with a thin pink slit in between.

The slit was secreting a translucent liquid that dripped periodically on his face.

It took Leonardo a moment to realize what this thing was, and he instinctively clamped down on two mounds of tender flesh before dragging the beautiful scenery near his lips, inducing a shiver and a soft moan from the petite woman on top of him.

Pandora felt strength zap away from her body, her legs twitched, and she instantly climaxed from the sudden stimulation. However, her mouth was occupied to the base of her throat with a hard cock pulsating with veins, suppressing her moans greatly as she went limp.

After she collapsed on Leonardo's body, he smiled flatly before pushing her petite figure forward while shifting in the bed, forcing her into a doggy position that accentuated her perky rear glistening with sweat and a hint of red.

She was already dazed post-climax, but Leonardo instantly shoved his length down to the base inside her tight hole, bringing her down from cloud nine to this mortal soil with a sharp moan that echoed throughout the Imperial Chambers.

And thus goes another morning in the busy life of Prince Leonardo.



Later that day, Pandora slipped out through the great formation with a pair of sparkling eyes and lustrous skin, happiness, and sunshine radiating off her body. Of course, under her concealment arts, no one noticed her movements.

Her domain spread soundlessly and reached the edge of the far province. Then, she took a step forward and tore through the layers of space within her domain, reaching its end before the domain expanded once again.

She would proceed so until she made it into the Elven Domain to meet up with Lucas who should have already received word from Sitri through some secret channels.

As for Leonardo, he was in the palace adjusting his white robes and strapping an ancient sword with a rustic scabbard on his back. This was the sword that was accompanying Nier on her visit to the Interstellar Supreme Court Auction House, and she had already passed it down to Leonardo after his apprenticeship in the Exiled Paradise.

Regardless of its looks, this was actually a Divine Grade weapon. Once he made sure everything was ready, he spoke to Aria, "Are you sure you can send me directly past the Sky Mountains?"

Aria rolled her eyes, "What's so difficult about that? Just because these saints can't cross the spatial barriers enveloping the mountain range, that doesn't mean that I can't do it either!"

Although Arcadia was called a planet, it wasn't actually a spherical celestial body. In fact, it could be considered like a vast board floating in space. As for the Sky Mountains, they were a chain of mountain ranges stretching from one end of the Beastkin Domain, through the Forbidden Domain, and to the other end of the Elven Domain.

These three domains were split in half by the mountain ranges, and it is rumored that past the Sky Mountains, there is no body of water separating the three domains, making the Sky Mountain Domain the largest plot of land on Arcadia, with the Human Domain coming in second place.

Although no one in Arcadia knew why it was impossible to cross over the Sky Mountains, Aria could tell that a spatial barrier reinforced by Arcadia's will stretched from the base of the mountains all the way to the atmospheric membrane. Furthermore, the other side was under a chaotic maelstrom of invasive energies that could prove fatal for cultivators.

As for those half-step divinities, it would be even harder for them to pierce the barrier because they could only step into the realms of half-divinity with the help of Arcadia's will. In a sense, to pierce the barrier they'd have to go through an external and an internal conflict, which could harm their foundations.

Aria is different.

Her Immortal Will can directly overpower Arcadia's will and send Leonardo inside. Furthermore, she can attach her will on him to bring him back in the case of immediate danger. Perhaps, that location would be Leonardo's only hope of advancing in realms because the majority of Arcadia's will is concentrated on maintaining the barrier.

Not to prevent people from crossing over but to protect them from having that maelstrom from sweeping across the surface of Arcadia.

"Alright now, you can either manually trigger my will to teleport you back or it'll automatically trigger if your life is in danger, any last words for everyone else?" Aria spoke impatiently.

Leonardo chuckled, patting her little head, "Tell them to lock down and focus on cultivation, the outside world will be quite lively when Pandora and Lucas are through with delivering my gift."

With a wink of his eyes, he turned his back to Aria and stepped into a tear in space that Aria created. Of course, he was also amazed by this display of power. He couldn't understand how someone so powerful could peacefully exist in the middle realms without drawing anyone's attention.



Multi-colored clouds blotted the sky, and thunder rumbled across the horizon. Explosions filled the atmosphere as energies of all natures clashed against one another on scales invisible to the naked eye, but frightening in their proportions nonetheless.

Leonardo walked through a tear in space with the Sky Mountains behind him, and a stretch of destruction and chaos in every direction for as far as the eye could see.

He could feel a flood of energy rushing into his body, ravaging his body down to the cells. However, his eyes flashed with a silver, dull grey as a layer of desolation enveloped his body.

A tug of imperceptible resistance tugged at his body, spirit, and mind. However, that was about it.

A smile crept on Leonardo's face as he finally felt these shackles unbound from his body.

Energy essences of all facets of existence within the scope of Arcadia were abundant in the atmosphere all around, exhilarating Leonardo who desperately needed all of these natural resources, especially thunderforce in the skies above.

Of course, Leonardo was also positive that over theeons, some natural life forms must have formed as this was only the cycle of evolution, and the deeper he would head inside, the harsher the conditions, and the stronger the abnormal life forms to face against.

However, Leonardo didn't care for that as his cultivation had been stagnant in the first layer of the first cycle of sainthood for far too long now, he was disgusted with being a level 41 saint among a sea of people who were at least level 51.

Immortal chanting filled the air as the illusory images of a moon, sun, and stars appeared behind Leonardo. As for the images, they were floating in the depths of an illusory black void.

Then, the moon began to light up partially, one form at a time. Eventually, it went through twelve changes and began to spin. The moment the moon spun, worldly energy began to pour into the moon and by extension, Leonardo's body.

Lightning rumbled in the sky as Leonardo closed his eyes, expanding his domain to further attract even more of these chaotic energies. The moment they gravitated towards the moon and channeled through it, the essence of desolation would subdue and break down these energies before pouring them directly into Leonardo's cells.

Eventually, a stray bolt of lightning from the edge of the stormy region phased into Leonardo's domain, striking the silver moon in the sky.

RUMBLE!

The illusory image shuddered, on the verge of shattering from the volume of energy. Furthermore, the lightning bolt was barely the thickness of a finger.

Leonardo's eyes snapped open and a streak of ink-black electricity flickered within the depths of his eyes as he stared in the direction of the thunderstorm, amazed and horrified. Then, he wisely shrank the extent of his domain, found a nearby hill, and sat down lotus style in the sea of clashing energies.

With his desolate martial intent and domain filtering out the harmful and heterogeneous energies, he needed only to focus on comprehending the essence conforming with his cultivation path, and his cultivation base began to quickly climb like bamboo shoots after the rain.

As one cell of his body was filled to the limit, shattered, and compressed, the next cell followed suit. When every cell in his body shattered and compressed once, his cultivation increased from level 41 to level 42, representing the completion of one layer in his cultivation.

Of course, his cells shattered figuratively and not literally, as the pockets of energies distributed throughout these cells are what compress, collapse, construct, and restart the process the further Leonardo progressed in his cultivation.

This also shows why someone with a higher innate talent and constitution would similarly require a vast amount of resources to advance in their cultivation compared with their weaker counterparts. Ever since Leonardo thought he couldn't advance in his cultivation, he contributed all of his resources to the construction of Grace Imperial City.

However, he didn't come to regret it now because this land of chaos and destruction, with the filtering of his desolate martial intent, could be considered a holy land of cultivation for Leonardo.

Just like that, Leonardo's cultivation base began to slowly but surely rise with the passage of time…
