Chapter 1206 - Tainted Ones! I

An attack had bloomed right in the heart of the Primordial Empire, one that involved Daolords and Primordial Beasts as the culprits as it would make one think how it was all possible!

The gaze of the Great Conqueror was vast as he was the bane of any Primordial Beasts, being the one whose hands were stained the most with their golden blood.

But even as this attack bloomed in one of the Cosmos at the Heart of the Primordial Empire, outside of it...everything seemed to be silent as if nothing had occurred.

Not many would have answers for such a thing, but the glimmering gold figure of Halcyon took everything in while fantastical thoughts swam in her mind.

'It is easy to turn away the gazes of others when there is a snake on the inside'¦' Her clear eyes glimmered at the sight of the Primordial Beast as she thought so.

A snake! Deep within the Primordial Empire as for them to be capable of orchestrating this event while keeping away the gaze of the Great Conqueror...they were someone of great status and power!

A big sigh left Halcyon's mouth as her body brimmed with essence while preparing for the incoming Primordial Beast.

'To think that someone like that would do such a thing is baffling...for what reason would one betray their very existence?'

'¦!

A resounding question...and it was one that currently had no answers!

The Primordial Empire was vast and with a myriad of moving pieces, with Halcyon simply being one of the many as just in her House alone, there were multiple existences that claimed the title of Forefathers and Foremothers.

Existences that had begun to touch upon the uniqueness of fusing Daos and Laws instead of burning them for Runic Dao Lines.

'Just how many have stopped their advance forward by burning all of their Daos?' As if she had all the time in the world and the dangerous existences moving around her didn't exist, Halcyon was lost in her own thoughts.

The strongest existences below the Head of her family were beings such as this- who half studied the fusion of laws and daos and had already burned multiple of their Daos into Dao Lines at the same time.

Only her mother and the Family Head of the House of Springforge had placed more focus on fusing Daos and Laws as one would find very little Runic Dao Lines on their bodies- if any at all!

The Family Head of the House of Stormdust was different as from her Mother, Halcyon knew this being had already burned every single Dao he had collected as the only things he had left were Ruination and the Primordial Daos.

The identity of all the Family Heads was somewhat special, this secret being something that very few knew in the Primordial Empire as it involved the Great Conqueror!

These beings that stood at the top of the three factions of the Primordial Empire were actually those that had been with the Great Conqueror the longest- existences that could even be called his companions that rose with him in power.

With a myriad of Daolords and Antiquities below them overseeing Cosmos and their influence stretching over all the regions that their House influences, these beings were the strongest below the Great Conqueror as the number of Universes they had forged were simply astounding.

In the secretive circles of the most powerful Daolords within the Primordial Empire, many wondered about the relationship of these beings that seemingly came up together, and why at this moment- three of them were fractured into different houses fighting for influence over each other as the Great Conqueror stayed above all of them untouched and unbothered by their skirmishes!

Were they friends, or were they enemies? There was too much history for an answer to be given for such a question, with the movements of the Family Heads barely being discernable over the years as they continued to collect the bounty of the lands they influenced- as they continued to collect countless Marks of Antiquity and forged an unknown number of Universes to head towards a goal that only Aegon had reached.

'The Cosmic Realm'¦' Halcyon played these words over and over again in her mind as she smiled, her thoughts moving to the entrant that had barely just begun to disrupt a closely kept balance.

The appearance of Daolord Osmont who had taken a single Cosmos from the House of Stormdust caused waves and ripples, but it should have been something that died with time as now that everyone knew of his strength, winning the coming Writs of Challenge would be very hard for this newcomer!

'Well, that is what many would think.'

WAA!

A golden glint flashed in Halcyon's eyes as she still watched the approaching Primordial Beast in slow motion, her thoughts moving faster than the speed of light as she could weave an entire book in less than a second.

The newly appearing Daolord Osmont would not be so easily contained with his path becoming barred after obtaining his first Cosmos. Halcyon had her own special means as she knew this, and it seemed that another party knew this as well!

This was why they wouldn't give him the time to absorb the powers he had amassed and enjoy the Marks of Antiquity from his current boons. This was why they moved even under the nose of the Great Conqueror and took the risk to eliminate Osmont before he could sprout any further.

'An enemy is best plucked off before he blooms, but the question is just how far he has bloomed for them to be able to contain him.'

There were still many questions and mysteries that even Halcyon did not know, but she knew very well about herself and the things she had seen.

The things she had seen coming...could not be wrong.

Even though her thoughts moved faster than the speed of light, the charge of the Primordial Beast was not far behind as after what seemed like forever and yet as if no time had passed, the claws of the Beast arrived before her with terrifying malice and power!

BOOM!
