Guu's Scythe was an inch away from James hand, but in that split second James entire body was enveloped in a silver light and he disappeared from the spot as if he teleported.
He appeared in a spot 10 meters away with steam rolling off of him and his face a little pale.
"What he used was a special skill given by his phantom. The only detrimental thing is it uses a bunch of chi to use apparently."
Selena commented from the side when she noticed Devlin and the other two were astonished by what took place.
Devlin's heart raced when he heard this. Although he couldn't give a shit about these two sides, especially when both of their Envoys were wanting to tear him apart earlier, he still wanted to know the powers of this new world.
'This is only the Blood Realm and they can already do this. I wonder what it would be like if two Avatar Cultivators fought..'
As his mind raced around, the interlocked battle was getting to its conclusion. James was coughing up blood from the overuse of his phantom skill. His body couldn't handle all the chi the phantom was supplying him. If this carried on he would become crippled.
Guu noticed the situation, however he was beginning to tire out as well. Finally he noticed James begin to store up for one last final attack with his "Spiritual Eyes" skill. Guu quickly pushed off the ground and and was enveloped by a blue light. His scythe size and length instantly doubled as he slashed down and yelled, "Blue Crescent Moon"
James eyes widened as he couldn't understand how his opponent found out about him storing his energy. It was too late for him to move as he could only shoulder this attack.
At this moment, Phil made his move, instantly arriving in front Guu and slapping his Scythe away. Everyone ears popped as loud explosion could be heard and Guu was sent flying back into the Envoy Maidens arms. The Maiden gave Guu to a disciple and released her aura.
"What kind of joke is this you bastard!"
As she said this, an endless waterfall cascading down from the heavens appeared from behind her. Phil felt a potential threat from this so he summoned a Silver Greatsword with a barrel attached to it. He still had a cheeky grin during the confrontation as if he did nothing wrong
"Little girl, it was just a tiny spar. No need to start cursing at one another"
"..."
"..."
Everyone on the sidelines was at loss as how shameless this Envoy was. Not only did he say at the start that the young generation should fight out between one another, but he also participated in it once it wasn't at his advantage.
Both Envoys were preparing to duke it out here and now. Many people began to sprint away from this catastrophe.
Suddenly a loud whistle could be heard from up above as a thousand pound gourd about five feet tall started falling from the sky. A dull thud could be heard from hundreds of miles. It landed right between the two Envoys. Both Envoys eyes could show hints of fear. A peaceful rang out.
"You old fogies end this little farce."
They both took a step back and looked up at the Immortal Drunken Saber, who was flying in midair.
Although Devlin expected it after seeing all of these things that surpass reality on Earth, it still caused his blood to rush. He heard many in the crowd shout once the Immortal Drunken Saber showed up.
"Look it's really him!"
"It's over.. the Dragon Dynasty Gourd has shown up"
"Ahhh how I wish I was in the Chaos Realm looking over everyone"
Apparently from all the clues he was given only once you reach the Chaos Realm then could you be given the ability of fly.
The Dragon Dynasty Gourd was solid black with two flood dragons twisted around one another. It had an ethereal feeling around it that couldn't be explained by words. Although the Crystal Waterfall Envoy felt threatened she couldn't let this end here.
"Division Manager, this swine broke the rules between a match over a Grade-3 Blood Crystal among the young generation. I seek Justice for his inappropriate actions."
Although their was no Court here in Andromeda, it still held rules among sects. The Immortal King Guild was the Security in Andromeda that made sure everything was upheld to its jurisdiction.
Immortal Drunken Sabers slanted eyes turned to Phil hoping to get an answer. Phil's forehead began to sweat as he knew from rumors not to offend the Immortal Drunken Saber.
Once in the past, a group acted out of turn and even rebuked the Immortal Drunken Saber's judgement. This caused an outrage and it even made the Immortal Drunken Saber have to use the wine from the Dragon Dynasty Gourd which is said to have different varieties of wine from many different places. The Immortal Drunken Saber loses his rationality and the situation gets out of hand pretty quick once he drinks from the gourd. It's rather ironic because the Immortal Drunken Saber is not much of a heavy drinker.
"Division Manager, the Crystal Waterfall Temple is pushing its limits by challenging us outside the Ceremony Competition. How could I sit by as I watch my son get crippled."
Phil twisted the act onto the Crystal Waterfall maiden making him seem as the victim.
Immortal Drunken Sabers brows furrowed when he heard Phil's remark. Although it seemed genuine on the outside, he knew better then to think that the Armament Sovereign Temple was completely wronged. They were known for their arrogance within Andromeda.
"Enough. Both sects will provide the Immortal King Guild with a thousand gold drachmas for compensation and Armament Sovereign Temple will return the Grade-3 Blood Crystal to Crystal Waterfall Temple.
"But..."
"It wasn't up for decision"
Immortal Drunken Saber declared with a cold glare towards Phil.
Although the Crystal Waterfall Envoy still felt a bit wronged, she could accept the judgement as long as she got the Grade-3 Blood Crystal back. Either way, a thousand gold drachmas wasn't much to them at all. It was only a front to give the Immortal King Guild face.
After this little spectacle was over, Devlin followed Nick back to the Demon Venerable Temple in the Southern District of Andromeda. From now on this would be his new home.
—————-
Instead of taking the Vestra Hoverboard, Nick summoned his Phantom. It was a dark beast as tall as a four-story building known as a Night Manticore. This beasts could carry at least a hundred people. Nick released his chi causing everyone to float up onto the Manticores back. He jumped up onto the top of the head making sure everybody was situated before he took off.
The next second a loud boom took place and they were at least two hundred meters in the sky. All you could hear was the Night Manticore wings flapping up and down for a few seconds before it started gliding with the wind.
"Unbelievable"
Devlin said while looking down at the huge lit-up city. It reminded him of New York City but ten times better. Although he traveled through the city already, he still felt it was a bit to real and pinched his side to check.
A strange moan occurred.
"Strange. I don't feel pain but I feel something nice and soft"
He didn't understand whether it was a dream or not from this indication. He glanced over to his hand and saw a gorgeous lady standing beside him with her butt pinched. She had eyes that could kill but a slight blush that tempted all the men to bend down and serve her.

One moment ago, Selena planning on finally introducing herself into a group however every had already formed their posies. Whenever she tried to approach them, they avoided contact and only spoke a few sentences before moving along.
It was just as she expected.
Nobody wanted to associate with her. It was not that they didn't like her, it was more of a sense of inferiority. Many males were stealing glances at her body, and many females had hate and envy shown in their ugly eyes. She was used to it by now but a tiny expectation lived inside her mind before they headed to the Demon Venerable Temple that things would change.
Suddenly a lone figure caught her eye. It was Devlin! He seemed shocked by the scene below. She thought it was hilarious of how easy it was to shock him. He was the only one that didn't mind her beauty and status.
'I might as well tease him a bit' she thought as she strolled over.
