Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 1710. Two Talents.

Meanwhile, in another zone of the Royal Hunt, two new groups arrived from near the outer area of their territories. These groups were a Demon group and a Divine group.

Each was led by a powerful Half-Step Demon Monarch and a Throne Cleansing Divine. This was because each group had five of their strongest talents, individuals who could potentially breach the Sixth Realm and soar into the Seventh.

If Yasenia had been there, she wouldn’t have noticed that inside these two groups there were two very familiar individuals.

The Demon group arrived and gathered with others. The massive, almost five-meter-tall Half-Step Demon asked, looking around. "Where are the incubi? Did they get lost chasing some females?"

The group of succubi nearby giggled, one of them snorting. "They have us, but it seems that they are a touch too fearful. Heh. What cowards."

Another succubus grabbed that one’s ass and bit her neck. "Sister, who was the one who entered an incubus town and almost enslaved as a breeder, eh? Might you remind me?"

The succubus rolled her eyes. "They used some strange herbs to up my sensitivity and even took turns; of course I’d lose my mind. A normal female would’ve probably died if they were in my situation. Also... You are playing with fire!"

"Kya!"

Both of them fell to the ground, and their tails found their way into each other as they devoured each other’s lips. The Half-Step Demon Monarch ignored them, as it was quite normal for close succubi to act that way.

He glanced behind him at the five talents and spoke their names one by one. "Jaxon, Sorka..."

The five demons blinked and stopped looking at the two succubi. Three were male, and two were female. The females were fight-focused demon species; among the males, one was an incubus, and the other two were also fight-focused demons.

"This is not the first time you’ve participated, so I won’t say much. Go with your species leaders and hunt as many beasts as you can. We are competing with those feathered ones, so if you lose, you will be punished. The males will lose one of their breeders. The females will lose one of their studs. Is that clear?"

The five of them tensed up and nodded. "We understand."

The tall demon glanced at Jaxon. "You must beat that woman. You two are the most talented of the bunch, but also the youngest. So, your strengths are still somewhat lacking. Regardless, you can’t let that woman step ahead of you."

Jaxon smiled arrogantly. "I will not only beat her, but eventually, I’ll make her my breeder, Lord."

The Demon Monarch nodded and tilted his chin. "Go. As for you..." The demon glanced at the incubus and rubbed his chin. "Go with the succubi. They will be of help, and you will also be able to truly taste how inferior you are."

The incubus snorted. "As if. I’ll make all those succubi beg."

However, as he spoke, a strong succubus appeared behind him and slid her hands into his lower garments. In an instant, the incubus looked toward the sky as he spurted a massive amount of ejaculate. The succubus licked her hand with a playful laugh. "Boy, haven’t your elders taught you not to speak when facing a strong demon? Be thankful that you are an important genius, or I would’ve transformed you into my cute little toy."

The incubus looked back at the almost two-meter-tall succubus with a touch of fear. "Y-Yes, My Lady."

***

In another zone, a similar group arrived near the gathering point of the Divines. When the powerful half-step arrived, he glanced around, frowning. "...Where are the [Gandharva]? Did they get lost?"

Gandharva were a Divine species that had some similarities to Incubi. They were not about sexual seduction, but allure instead. For reference, the equivalent of succubi were the [Mara].

There were many, many species among Demons and Divines, but there were still some main ones. For the Divine, these were classified as Mara, Gandharva, Deva, Apsara, Angel, Seraph, Cherub, etc.

For Demons, you had Succubi, Incubi, Rakshasa, Asura, Bloodclaw, Shedim, Beast Demons, etc.

A Valkyrie standing nearby spoke in a solemn, cold voice. "Does it matter? They are probably fawning over some woman. Those are almost as bad as Incubi."

A Mara jumped, feeling very offended. "Don’t compare our species with those filthy demons with nothing but sex in mind. Our species is a believer of making love, not those filthy emotions like lust!"

The Valkyrie looked at her with a trace of contempt. Even though they were the same Divine species, they didn’t get along well.

The Half-Step Divine shook his head and looked back. "Damian, Isla... You five all know what this competition represents. I won’t be accepting defeat. If you do, you will be punished with 100 years of closed-door cultivation in the [Decaying Cliff of Reflection]."

Everyone stiffened for a moment before nodding seriously. The Half-Step glanced at Isla. "Beat Jaxon. You know what that guy’s intentions are better than I do."

Isla, composed and indifferent, nodded. "He has not beaten me for the last 100 years. He won’t start doing it today."

The Half-Step smiled faintly. While their strengths and talents were similar, Isla had the edge in overall comprehension. So, her skills were a touch more advanced than Jaxon’s, which gave her the advantage.

’They are only a little over 300 years old, and they have both arrived at the Second Level of the Sixth Realm. Although they managed to advance not too long ago, it is an incredible pace of advancement.’

Jaxon and Isla, the two who had gone to the same Secret Realm as Yasenia back then, gained incredible advantages from the Lost Secret Realm.

It was, after all, a secret realm that housed Mirrory and even Valeria’s garden. Its inheritances were incredibly numerous, powerful, and profound, capable of changing the fates of most who entered.

Jaxon and Isla therefore managed to become monstrous geniuses who soared incredibly fast and with rock-solid foundations.

Jaxon inherited the blood of an [Erinyes], a Demon of vengeance, pursuit, and retribution flames that could burn most things in the correct situations.

Isla, on the other hand, became an [Ophanim], a Divine that excelled in divine perception, movement arts, and overwhelming yin affinity toward order and stillness.

With bloodlines comparable to even Kali’s, their ascension in the cultivation world was guaranteed. They both thought that no better talent existed beyond them. So, they treated each other as rivals.

Isla wanted to defeat Jaxon and kill him, leaving only her as the supreme talent.

Jaxon wanted to defeat Isla and possess her, thinking that only she was worthy of becoming his main breeder.

As Isla turned to spread her feathered wings to fly, she heard one of the Half-Steps speak. "The Gandharva wouldn’t have gone to meet the Dravory Family, right?"

Isla paused for a moment, finding that name incredibly familiar. Her blonde eyebrows deeply furrowed, puzzlement flashing in her blue eyes. ’Dravory... Dravory... Ah.’

Thanks to her powerful mind, the memories from before she got thrown away and taken by some Divines to train flashed in her mind. ’Yasenia Dravory, that powerful dragon woman.’

The surname Dravory was far too unique. She had never encountered it before, so thinking of it as just a coincidence was stretching it far too much. Therefore, she turned around and asked. "Master, I have a question. Is there a Dragon Lady by the name of Yasenia Dravory in that family?"

The Half-Step glanced at Isla with a raised eyebrow. "You know their clan leader? Madam Dravory, whose real name is Yasenia Dravory, is the head of the newly established Dravory Clan."

Isla’s face twisted with confusion. "...Then it must be a coincidence. The Yasenia Dravory I know is much younger than I. Around 20 to 30 years younger."

The Half-Step chuckled. "Then they are different individuals for sure. Yasenia Dravory is a Fifth Level Mythical Core Beast with beauty that can eclipse the midday sun and midnight moon. Even though she is a Fifth Level Beast, her strength, from what I hear, is probably comparable to a Level Seven or Level Eight Throne Cleansing Divine."

Isla was stunned. "Such a monster exists? Also, for Master to praise her beauty that highly, she must truly be beautiful."

Isla didn’t want to be narcissistic, but in terms of appearance, she knew that she lost to almost no one. Perhaps only the Five Beauties of the Central Capital would best her, and only because they were much stronger than she was.

When Isla arrived at their level, she believed she could match or even surpass them in looks.

"Beautiful?"

A Mara nearby snorted. She was a Level Nine Divine, and someone with enough beauty to charm almost any man with a single smile. Even then, the Mara smiled awkwardly. "I honestly lost confidence in my looks after seeing her once. You can’t just describe her as beautiful, Little Isla. She reigns supreme in appearance, second to none."

Isla’s calm face couldn’t help but show true astonishment. The Mara patted Isla’s shoulder with a gentle smile. "If you see her, try not to look at her too much. I’ve heard that some Maras who looked at her for too long now feel incredibly lacking, some giving birth to small Heart Demons."

As a species that placed allure above all, they were incredibly confident in their looks. So, Yasenia’s group, who not only had Yasenia but also Tatyana, Cecile, Valeria, Angel, and Mirrory, among others, was like a punch in the gut.

The Half-Step pondered and gave Isla a necklace. "Here, this is an anti-charm necklace. It should help you in case you encounter the Incubi or Madam Dravory’s group. If you do, make sure not to confront her. They are on the rise, and while their strength is low, Madam Dravory has most likely become the most coveted prize for all families. Whoever dares to make the first move will suffer greatly."

Isla frowned. "That much? No matter how beautiful, she won’t be able to have too many husbands from influential families, right?"

"Husbands?" The Half-Step blinked and then chuckled. "Ah, right. I didn’t tell you. Madam Yasenia is a dragon who can spread her bloodline with females as well. So the ones targeting her aren’t the bachelors, but the Young Ladies of the capital. Marrying off a daughter and creating a connection is better than a son, or so most families believe. So, she is very coveted by females, and naturally, some confident men."

Isla nodded, curiosity sparking within her. The Half-Step smirked. "If you manage to get in her good books and create a connection, I won’t stop you. She is a worthy mate. Even I am personally tempted. Sigh."

Isla was once more surprised. From what she knew, her Master wouldn’t even blink if a Half-Step Succubus got naked and seduced him with all her strength. For him to speak to that degree... ’This woman’s beauty is a catastrophe.’
