Chapter 245 - XV Identity Revealed, Love Rival?

Purple-gray flowers grew on the ground as his energy intensified and a huge domain took over the stage. Just like when the energy life form surrounded the stage was a type of celestial domain, Yassil had deployed his own domain in order to break the enemy domain.

"Not bad." The energy life form transmitted its voice before admitting defeat. Since the beginning, it knew the great advantage the void clan had against its species and was prepared to lose since the begging. This also wasn't a surprise to the spectators who nod with their heads, agreeing with its decision. 

Energy life forms didn't have names, so after admitting defeat it quickly left the stage. The battle was over and there was no need for it to stay there. It was the next day there the true winner would be revealed and in the battle between three celestial beings, even the energy life form could win against it. 

Everybody was waiting for Yassil leave the stage when they noticed his body was frozen in place and his eyes were locked on the large platforms floating in the air. Or more precisely, he was staring at a black-haired man that sat on his seat while staring at the stage with a calm face. Since the battle was over, Elijah had thought of removing the disguise since he felt better staying without it., but he was glad he didn't. He had been living in the city with his own face for a few days already and nobody recognized him, Elijah thought it would not be a problem if he removed the resting area. Most people would change their faces every day.

For example Ava looked nothing like the past Ava he knew in Valhalla Academy. The hair was the same color, but the entire structure of her face changed to make her compared to a first class beauty. Sensing Yassil's stare, Elijah felt cold and anxious in his heart. Especially since the story Yalli told him, if this man recognizes his identity, then he wouldn't have a peaceful day.   

Elijah was feeling anxious under the constant stare Yassil was giving him, but he knew he could keep up the appearances when he heard a notification from his phone.

[Low Battery Alert! High-level illusions consume too much energy. Changing to economy mode.]

At the worst time possible the appearance changing illusion deployed by his phone suddenly vanished and his original golden-haired figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

'Oh shit, here we go again.' Elijah cursed in his heart, it was already time a jealous love rival to appear and try to take his life. While immersed in his own fantasies, Yassil's angry roar sounded from the stage and awoke him.

"You!" Hearing Yassil's hoarse voice, everyone in the crowd turned to see who was the person the member of the royal family was looking at. When they saw it was at the same person they saw in the stage hours ago, and then his face suddenly changed.

The many people felt this handsome golden-haired man was multiple times better than the face, he was using before and wondered why he would change it now. 

"Wait, wait, it's not the cultivator of that team? That one who just fought the space-time spirit body."

"Yeah, at that time I didn't noticed, but doesn't he have the same the aura as a non-cultivator mortal.It is a special artifact that clouds his level of power?"

The crowd discussed between themselves while a few people in the crowd had extremely grave expressions. Two of them would the female participant of the tournament, Serina the Variant Dragon and the Princess of the Eternal Void clan who sat on the chair beside the middle-aged man who watched all of this with an interested eye.

Abrupt burst of energy circulating inside his daughter's body, the middle-aged man tightens the grip on her face and made a sign for her to calm down. For some reason these people could not help but feel they have seen this face before... Those people paused for a moment before sucking on a mouthful of cold air. Noises of exclamations were heard.

"Heavens! It's him, isn't? The lord of Peuh Star and founder of the new Origin. He's just a mortal, but his territories in the main universe had reached an incredible amount. The last man to create his own path was the old monster with his spiritual path." A minor god recalled the news he heard back them on the last time he visited his planet. Some of his most trusted officers told him about a new expert who surged on a near star system. He was really shocked at the time, for a young cultivator to strike rich and become the lord of an entire planet before attaining the level of a celestial was really amazing.

"I heard about him too! His name is E-something... Elijah! Elijah Branches is his name! There are some rumors he's already expanding to other cosmic realms. An elder of my clan told me he saw an incredibly fast ship leaving a trail as it jumped into the chaotic space and vanished."

Hearing all the voices, Elijah' s face turned darker and darker. It was impossible for him to hide his identity. The flow of time around him slowly speed up, he was already preparing himself for any event.

Yalli who was by his side, knew how bad all this this was and turned to pull Elijah's sleeves as if saying for him to flee. His heart warmed when seeing this little girl's worried face and snickered when seeing she was way more scared than himself. He was already satisfied with this sister-in-law of his.

At the same time Elijah was not the only one who heard the voices in the crowd. Yassil's face turned increasingly colder as he's asked in a harsh tone that carried a hidden emotion."What are you doing here?"

Knowing there was no reason to lie, Elijah got up and stared directly into Yassil's eyes before replying in a mocking tone. "What, do I need to tell others when I want to see my wife?"

Boom! A killing intent countless times bigger than the ones that escaped from him burst forth with unstoppable moment. Even Elijah felt it was hard to breath within the intense pressure. His mind went through countless simulations imagination all possible events as he was thinking of a way to escape this situation.
