Life After Reaching The Pinnacle

37  Chapter 37: Dustin Coralhelm

The youth ignored the voice and took deep breaths to calm down. After a few minutes, he was able to calm himself.

The youth then replied to the voice, "It's not me who is feeling uneasy; it's the heaven's will of this realm. Apparently, it has sensed a terrifying power in this realm that could actually harm the heaven's will, and it is basically telling me to find it."

[Oh, are you sure it's not talking about our neighbors? Because I didn't sense anything of such a level aside from those mongrels doing their activities here and there.]

The youth shook his head and said, "It's not about those Infernals. Although they are a threat, they aren't to the point that they possess power that could even make heaven's will fear. I have sensed the fear in it."

[Now that I think about it, it must be a descendant of a powerful being, as they carry a terrifying inheritance in the form of Bloodline and all. Since even I couldn't sense anything, then they must be well-protected. Dustin, what did the heaven's will actually sense, and where?]

The youth named Dustin was surprised that even the voice couldn't sense anything and responded, "You know that I never understand it fully. It's just that since I'm connected to it, I can feel what it wanted to say, so I'm not sure. But it just sensed that power for a few moments, and it could tell that if the person wielding that power continues to grow, it could be a threat to it, even more than our neighbors. As for the location, it couldn't pinpoint it, but it was in this Empire."

[Dustin, be cautious. The people who possess the power to even make heaven's will fear are very rare, almost to the point of extinction. But know this, every single one of them possesses overwhelming power and a cultivation base.]

[The Infernals themselves don't possess the power to harm this realm; it is their realm's heaven's will that is troublesome. So you can understand the threat this unknown power poses; I can understand the fear the heaven's will is feeling.]

There was silence in the room for a few minutes as both Dustin and the voice fell into their thoughts.

Dustin then suddenly asked, "Hey, the powerful descendant you were talking about, can she be the Ashborn girl?"

[It's impossible for her to possess such power now. Even the top brass of their clan doesn't have the power to make the heaven's will fear. And even if they did, there would be just one or two who stand at the top of the Divine World. Their bloodline is powerful but not that much.]

Dustin whispered under his breath, "So there are now three opponents for me? The Infernals and the unknown are definitely my enemies, as they both can harm the heaven's will, and that'll cause me severe injuries and even death as I'm connected to it. The only one left is the Ashborn girl. Looks like I need to use her in my battle."

He then asked, "Hey, are you sure she's alive?"

[If she can be killed by a bunch of Heaven Profound Stage Artists, she won't be a member of The Great Ashborn clan. But are you sure you want to befriend her? You do know that your clash with the Ashborn clan is inevitable.]

"As expected, she survived, huh? That old man literally created enmity between us for a Saint Tier weapon. What an idiot. I swear, after solving all my problems, I'll kill him first. If he didn't do that, I would just need to focus on the Infernals and that unknown power and face the Ashborn when I go to the Divine World. Now it's all messed up." Dustin rubbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

[Well, it's natural. You're the bearer of 'The Heart's Desire.' You're taking it too lightly, Dustin. 'The Heart's Desire' is something that even those outside of the Divine World fear, so it's natural that you have so many enemies.]

"'The Heart's Desire,' huh? Well, speaking of that, I'm going to find 'The Moon.' I can't delay it now; I need more power." Dustin clenched his fists as he said.

[You're way too weak to assimilate with 'The Moon.' You'll just die in the process.]

Dustin brushed off the voice's warning and said, "Judging by the things that are going, I'm going to die before even getting the chance to go to the Divine World, so I might as well try to assimilate with 'The Moon.' I would get a cultivation boost after assimilation, right?"

[Yes, you'll most likely advance a major stage or two. It depends on how much assimilation you can achieve in the first try. That's why I was trying to stop you from getting 'The Moon,' though it will be hard for your current state to even get near it. After all, 'The Moon' is under the surveillance of the Land of Frozen Lotus, the strongest force in this realm.] Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Dustin stood up from his bed and looked outside the window as he said, "You don't need to worry; I have plans for it."

Dustin put his hand on his chest as he said with an arrogant tone, "After all, I am Dustin Coralhelm, the sole owner of 'The Heart's Desire.' I'm destined to be the conqueror. These minor obstacles are nothing."

As he said that, he released an overwhelming aura, causing even the surrounding space to crackle and the air to become heavy as many elements began to gather around him.

[I just hope you're ready for whatever you're going to face from now on. It's not that easy to stand at the top of the Divine World.]

Dustin stayed silent in response, as even he knew that. He whispered, "Well, I'll just deal with everything my way."

"I'M BACK, MASTER!"

Aurora shouted at the top of her lungs as soon as she entered the bookstore. She was really excited to tell Aadi about her adventures and her battle. However, what greeted her wasn't something she was expecting
