After leaving the Breaking Clan Residence, Lan Tian found a deserted spot, activated the Blue Silver God Armor again, and flew high into the sky.
He chose a more easterly route for his return. It was a longer journey than the one he had taken coming here, but it passed over a medium-sized Soul Beast forest. Viewed from above, that sea of dark green woodland shimmered with varying shades of green in the afternoon light, its canopy spread across the earth like silk rippled by the wind.
He maintained a steady altitude as the scenery beneath him slowly slipped backward. The outline of Blue Sky City was not yet visible in the distance, but he could faintly smell the familiar scent of vegetation in the air.
After flying for roughly an hour, the perception of his Blue Silver God Domain suddenly picked up violent fluctuations of Soul Power from the forest ahead.
Those fluctuations did not come from a fight between one or two Soul Beasts, but from a chaotic battlefield where multiple streams of Soul Power intertwined and collided.
Several different attributes of Soul Power tangled together at its center: the biting chill of ice, the searing heat of fire, and the shock waves produced by clashing Soul Skills.
He descended to just above the canopy and extended the perception of his Blue Silver God Domain toward the center of the disturbance. At the same time, he used Blue Silver God Power to connect with the surrounding plants, observing the situation in the forest through the views they relayed.
A fierce battle was underway in a forest clearing.
A woman dressed in an ice-blue gown was under attack by three men in black.
She was stunningly beautiful, her long, ice-blue hair tied into a high ponytail behind her head.
